normally low freight and passenger rates whenever there was competition with water transportation, the rall roads making up their losses on this traffic by eytorting money from the interior communities through the me- .llum of excessive tariffs.
 Three years ago Senator Poindexter began his attacks upon these tariff dis criminations.y Supporting his activities in the senate, number of western states took steps to give him effective aid, and applications were made to the Interstate Commerce Commission for remedial measures. It was long and determined fight before adequate rec Ognition from the commission was sc cured, Finally. however, after exhaus- tive inquiries, on March 15, 1918, the Interstate Commerce Commission made ruling which went part way towards relieving cities in the intermountain states, including those in Montana, Utah, Washington, Idaho. Wyoming, Colorado, North and South Dakota, Arizona, Nebraska and Nevada. Under this ruling cities in these states were allowed terminal rates-no more than coast rates, but they could be charged up to a point approximating such ter minnl rntes Moreover, this schedule Of rates is subject to reversal by the Interstate Commerce Commission at its pleasure, thus creating an uncer- tain situation inimicaf to all manufac- turing interests.
 The senator sought, however, to go much further. and permanently rem edy the situation, which was only par tially relieved. His bin takes away from the Interstate Commerce Con- mission all powers to permit diScrim- nations against inland cities in favor of coast cities, by enacting into law the provision that no railroad hence forth shall receive any greater com pensation for the transportation of passengers or freight for shorter than for longer distance over the same line. or route, in the same direc- ton, the shorter being included in the longer distance; or to charge any greater compensation as through route than the aggregate of the inter- Hleuidte TdleSs nor SnliI common carrier be authorized to receive as great compensation for shorter as for . longer distance.
 But while temporary relief had been granted by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the case of western states, the entire South and many DOT tions of the East were still left at the mercy of the railroads, no concessions being given them. The South, how ever, was not slow in awakening to the fact that the West had secured an improvement in railroad tariff rates to the financial benefit of it's cities. As result of vigorous propaganda work instituted first at Jackson, Tenn, and then extended to cover all south ern territory, the business men in the states of Georgia, Alabama, New Mex leo, North and South Carolina, Ten nessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklaho- ma and Texas were aroused and have recently been making vigorous efforts to get the Interstate Commerce Con- mission to extend it's western rulings to include the South. As an illustra- ton of the growing interest in that movement . Jobbers Association.

THE MAIN FLAW IN
AMERICAN NOVELS
Is the Defect of IncOmprehensibility,
According to Mainly About Books,
A Monthly Periodical
Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. 2S-The defect of
ncomprehensibility is the main flaw
ound in American novels by IN. A.
b. MAINLY About Books), monthly
eriodical, in pointing out reasons for
"the comparatively small importa-
ion" into England of the American
literary efforts.
After quoting extensively from a
tobacco advertisement "culled from
the pages of a noted American mon
thly magazine" in which references
are made to tanning joyous pipe
chock full and blazing away" which,
it is promised, will put the quiz into
your thinktank as to how much pipe
or cigarette-rolling fun you've gone
shy on the English magazine says:
Effective as the above doubtless
is for the purpose of trans Atlantic
advertising, it is possible that YER
nacular largely corresponding to this,
distributed over some hundreds of pa
ges in works of American fiction ac-
counts for comparatively small i'm
portation of American novels. Often,
we do not doubt they are intrinsical-
ly admirable. Only, for us, they have
the defect of incomprehensibility.

AFFIXED AMOUNT
COST OF LIVING
For Man, Wife and Children tn Form
Basis of Wages Calculation In
New South Wales.

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 2S-A
fixed amount covering the cost of liv-
ing for man and wife and the main
tenance of their children is to form
the basis from which all rates of wag-
es will be calculated in New South
Wales.
A bill, embodying this novel scheme
for ending the "vicious circle" for in
creasing living costs and raised wag-
es, has already passed the legislative
assembly. The scale Of living costs
is to be formulated by the board of
trade after an inquiry. The MAIN
tenance of children of workers will
be met by payments from a fund ad-
ministered by the government. EN-
ployes receiving not more than $1.25
above the declared living wage will
be paid the full amount ascertained
to be the cost of maintaining each
child.
The fund is to be established by
monthly payments from employers,
each employer paying in proportion
to his average daily number of en-
ployes.
No payments are due in respect of
the children of employees on strike.
The bill will apply to practically
all employees in the state whose earn
ings do not exceed $4,000 annually.
