Nebraska Potash Versus Georgia Cotton.

Among other announcements sent back from
Paris is one purporting to come from Chairman
Hurley OF the Shipping Board, who said plans
would be made to secure French tonnage to
transport potash to the United States. The only
potash in Europe is the German product, large
surplus of which has been laid up during the
war This is the basis of commercial fertilizer,
which is largely used in the southern states, es-
peciay in the cotton belt When the German
supply was cut off in 1914. fertilizer in stock in
this country scared to sky-hgh prices. The
figures were subsequently brought down to a
reasonable point by discovery of potash in the
lakes of northwestern Nebraska, and the de-
velopment of the industry in this state was the
preservation OF the cotton crop. Now, however,
the patriotic planters of the solid south want the
cheaper German product and the democratic adj
ministration appears inclined to give it to them.
1t means the extinction of great industry. but
what difference does that make? When it comes
to a choice between Nebraska potash and
Georgia cotton the administration will not hesi-
tate long.

A Merited Tribute

President Wilson could not have paid high
sr tribute to the American fighting men than
was contained in his Christmas message, in
which he said:
Il hope that it will cheer the people at
home to know that find their boys over here
in fine form and in fine spirits, esteemed by
all those with whom they have been associat-
ed in the war and trusted wherever they go"
p That is splendid compliment to the Ameri-
can soldiers. 1t is no secret that when they ar
rived upon the firing line, practically raw re-
cruits. with but a brief period of training in
modern trench warfare. the British and French
did not have very high opinion of their ability
as soldiers. These veterans looked upon the
newcomers as an unknown quantity. unable to
stand the strain of hard fighting.
But the Americans soon had an opportunity to
show their mette, and in a very brief period
they had won the admiration and confidence OF
the British and French, who gave them full cred
Il for the wonderful things they did. From,
then on until the fighting ceased there was the
closest feeling OF comradeship between the
Americans and the soldiers of other nations
They won by soldierly qualities the esteem OF
their comrades in arms and have retained it by
good behavior
The president says they are trusted wher-
ever thew CO." and this is borne out by the
records. Never was there cleaner or more
considerate army in the field than the men OF the
United States In contrast to the hends of the
German forces, they are welcomed by the ma.
tives with every evidence of confidence and at,
lection, This feeling the Americans have not
abused The exceptional cases have been sc

STATE OR NATIONAL EXPRESS RATES

An alternative writ of mandamus has been
served by the supreme court OF Nebraska on the
relation of the State Railway commission,
against the United States Railway Express com.
pany, ordering it to show cause why the boards
order governing intra-state rates should not be
enforced. This brings the question of control
OF rates squarely on for issue.
When the railroads, and other common
carriers were under corporate management, the
line between interstate and intra-state commerce
was carefully drawn by the courts, and juris-
dictional control marked most specifically in
definite cases. A very broad twilight zone was
never wholly cleared up, however, and disputes
to which power controlled continually arose.
When the federal government took over the
railroads year ago, certain phases of the dis
pute were adjourned, because of the war emer-
gency. These were in a measure revived by an
announcement from the Interstate Commerce
commission that orders of the administration
fixing rates were subject to review, and did not
partake of immunity because of their source.
Taking over the express companies was an
after thought on part of the government, and it
is now to be established if that act lifted them
from under the rate -naking power of the state
boards. II the business is part of the general
postoffice, it seems certain the federal order
will stand. However, it will be of service to
get court decision on the point, that start
may finally be made in the direction of adjust
in. that is really vexatious situation.
The situation as it has developed emphasizes
the need of adoption of the plan proposed by
the republican platform of 1912, which contem-
plated exclusive federal control of the transport
tation industry, and particularly of te-making
The maze in which the railroads found them
selves, and from which they are to be extricated
through the costly experiment of federal opera
ton, was due almost wholly to the conflict be-
tween state and national authority. 1t is true
that unscientihc methods of financing and Wall
street control contributed to the outcome, but
the chief cause was the failure of the various
boards exercising oversight to agree on regu-
lations.
