RAILROAD RATEs.

brecteF General Hines has refused 10 increase the railroad rates prier To the roads being turned over to the owners In spite of the fact thai inc roads under the present rates are be ing operated at 8 less to the govern Inent Of hundreds ef millions yearly ne insists that the owners should take the lines under the present less de FeloplnS rates and make appliear rion te Uhe interstate commerce conmis- sion for relief
 In other words he wants to throw the responsibility for meeting the ex- neHses that have been created by the government and getting a fair return upon the railroads when it cannot fail to he appreciated that the roads were for the most part in far better Eey when he government took them over than they are today and yet Di- rector General Hines wants them to go through the same tooth pulling taek or getting new rates when it is plainly the duty of the government to relieve them of that responsibility and see that the roads are returned in as scoc condition as when they were La keE over by the government
 Before some of the roads could get the rates that they need to keep going they would be on the rocks with all
 
 lg involved It is pertinent therefore that a bill has been introduced in the lower house of congress that points out the injustice to the roads and di- refts Director Hines to prepare and put into operation at once system of rates that will give proper service 10 the public and a reasonable diyi- dend or protection to the investor so that the properties will be amply safe guarded when returned to the owners Whatever deficit the government experiences from the operation of the roads will be made up through taxa ton or some other method but the roads have recourse to no such meth cd after they get possession of their property, and for them to ask for in creased rates upon taking control would simply operate te their detri- meut and cause a widespread protest eren though the government is run Hlns the roads into the hole every day under existing rates. No one wants to see rates go up but it is apparent that fairness should prevail.

GETTING OUR EYEs OPEN.

There are times when Investigating committees really get some enlighten-
 nent in one direction if not another. This seems to. be shown by the result of the tr- to Pittsburgh by the senate committee looking into the steel strike Without having rendered any decision that body went to that dis trict for the purpose of seeing what the conditions were and hearing some of the witnesses ca the spot. They have heard and they have seen and now they return with the conviction that there should be grea ter efforts put forth in behalf of AIae rlcaniza. tion.
 It is nothing new. The country has realized for q long time that there should be Americanization waris done but the senat tors have received an eb- iect lesson that makes them sit up and take notice. For instance Sena GOT Walsh of AisssA chusetts reports upon his return that the steel strikers are aliens in an overwhelming ma jority who do not speak English and Senator Kenyon of Iowa is loud in his demand for Americanization work to meet the urgent need. These senators in fact represent the sentiment of the committee of which they are mem bers for the revelation was apparent iy so impressive that there WAS fe other decision possible.
 With sections Of our country made up largely of foreigners who live hy them selves. talk their own languages and make no effort to become Ameri- cnas it can be expected that they will provide great stamping grounds for the agitators. It doesn't take much to arouse them and it doesn't take much to lead them and keeB them going. And just as long as they are permit ted to remain the aliens that they are just so long will here continue to be danger spots.
 The thing to dc is to start making Americans of them the minute they strike the country and keep it up until it is accomplished or it is necessary to send them back home. We havel one way too long already and the quicker this is appreciated and a change made the better.

financial institutions and certainly

financial institations and certainly a growing business.
 How it is expanding in what might be considered it's own part of the world is none the less displayed by the way fin which. it's trade with Ar gentiHa has picked up. Ordinarily it's business has not been larEe there ave- raging about a. assquarter of a million dollars but last year it went up to the handsome sum of $15.000.000. a gain worth speaking about and showing that though it was involved in the war it was not so tied down that it could not look out for business.
 Of course Japan has right to go out and get this business when and where it can. It nevertheless throws out a challenge to American business to make the most of it's opportunities. It certainly cannot go to sleep on it's jop and expect to get there against live competition.

REACHING OUT FOR TRADE.

Not so long ago this country was furnishing large quantities of cotton goods for China It isn't so today for the trade is to a great extent being taken care Of by Japan. During the war il was shoFn by commerce. re- ports that Japan was pouring into this country many lines of goods that we used te obtain elsewhere. It saw She chance for increa sing it's market while we were fighting and it did so.
 But that isn't all. Japan has been pushing it's exports in many direc- liens IL has seen the chance to mar ket it's goods and it has not hesitated to go ta work and produce and then sell Realizing the opportunities in the Indian market Japan sold goods here last year to the amount of over sll1. .6es, ,eeo. This shows nearly twice ss much as in the previous year when it was over ss1 .oee 900 and nearly three times the year before that when ft was over s44. 4.oeo.0oo. and this in British territory where British trade was supposed to have the upper hand.
