since he has kept silent on this subject
the mutiny is confined to small faction.
IA Must Get Presidents Assent.
ANY compromise that the Democrats in
the Senate agree upon will be subjected
to Mr.. Wilson's scrutiny and will have to
obtain his 20. k before the compromisers
will permit it to come to showdown.
Even Senator Hitchcock the Democratic
leader. admitted today it would put the
Democrats in very bad hole if they
joined for the ratification of the treaty
only to find it blocked at the White
~ House.
T. The first way is therefore recognized TO
/, be next TO impossible. If the Demo rats
entered into compromise and ratified
the pact and the President pigeonholed
the treaty they would be forced to carry
the whole responsibility for keeping the
nation in a technical state of war, which
they all admit would be rather serious
campaign liability. According 10 the cal
cuations, it would be much better If they
could frame a compromise that would
command the support of ten or twelve
& mild reservationists on. the Repub ican
side but which would be wholly inaccept-
able to the Lodge group, as well as the
'rreconcilables. They would be able to
say to the country that the Democrats did
their best to ratify the pact and that a
majority supported them, but that the
, Republicans fatty rejected it. They would
be able in this way to solve the riddle Of
how to stand by President Wilson and
follow Mr.. Bryan. according to their
leaders.
Bryan Wires Democratic Senators.
Mr.. Bryan today from Lincoln. Neb..
wired all Democratic Senators as follows
(, Il very earnestly hope that it may be
possible to secure an agreement on the
reservations and ratification before next
Friday, so that our nation can enter the
League of Nations at its first session, on
January l6. The joy of the American peo-
pie would. / am sure, be as universal as
ii was when tire armstice was signed"
Senator Hitchcock strongly denied to-
day that there was any revolt among the
Democrats.
The Bryan revolt he said. exists
largely in the columns of the newspapers.
i do not believe the Democrats will make
any compromise that they are not pretty
sure the President will accept OF course
We have got to take a chance in making
any compromise, and hope the President
viii accept it."
Senator King. of Utah, Democrat also
insisted that the idea OF reservations was
/ not original with Mr.. Bryan, and declared
the treaty should be ratified with reserva-
tons speedily.
That is should have some reservations
the overwhelming majority of the Aneri-
can people will, believe, agree" said
Senator King.

NEW ENTERPRISE FoR CITY.
Short Haul Freight to Be Moved by
Trucks.

For some time past the shippir,
conditions turnout this country have
Ibeen very uncertain and unsatisfac-
tory, and the shippers now realize
that it will be some time, perhaps
several years, before railroads can
bring their equipment up to the point
of efficiency that will absorb any ap-
preciable amount OF the Increased
traffic required of this country, and
until that time it will be up to the
motor trucks to keep the goods NOV
ing. Today a substantial portion Of
inter-city freight is collected by
trucks in the morning and within
four or five hours it is delivered to
the customer forty and fifty miles
away. Several thousand such truck
transportation companies are in SIC
cessful operation from many large
and small distributing centers thru
out the United States.
Iowa at this time has mahy such
companies, operating from such
shipping centers as Dubuque, Daven-
port. Cedar Rapids, Waterloo Des
Moines, Fort Dodge. Council Bluffs
and Sioux City. The Patriotic Motor
Express Company Of Wichita and
Kansas City, Kansas, the first mill
lion dollar organization of it's kind =
now in. operation. Kansas City has
over thirty motor express routes to
the rural districts SURROUND ding it.
These routes have proved to be far
superior to the old method of trans
portation, and have eliminated
carriage charges at both ends Of the
route by delivering from the whole
salers' platform direct to the con-
signees' door, thus eliminating also
many rehandlings of freight. which is
necessary when shipped by rail.
Mr. c. r. circuit, who has been af-
filiated with the Cedar Rapids Motor
Express Company since it's inception
last January, and VINO has made
close study Of such methods Of trans
portation turnout the country, a few
weeks ago began to investigate the
local conditions in Mnrshalltown,
which resulted in the organization Of
the Marshall Truckportation Com
pany. With him will be associated
Mr.. G. Warner, who will have charge
of transportation. The company's
plans will frst be the development of
q perfect transportation system, and
later they will add the sales of trucks,
automobiles, tires. and accessories,
and will operate a general storage,
garage and repair shop. Negotiations
are now being conducted for suitable
quarters for such an enterprise.

sales for the local company
The company will be managed by
a board of directors consisting In the
majority of Marshalltown's business
men. Realizing that the success Of a
transportation company depends
wholly upon service. and such service
depends entirely upon dependable
equipments. careful drivers and good
management, much care has been ex-
ercfsed in making these selections. A
portion OF the equipment to be used
on these routes is now in this city.
Other trucks are being equipped with
special bodies and will arrive very
shortly. These trucks are manufac.
tured by the Beck Hawkeye Motor
Truck Works at Cedar Rapids and
We're selected on account of their
cheapness in operation and maintains
ence as shown from the many users
thruout its equipment.
1t is understood the Cedar Rapids
Company has had to double it's haul
ing equipment recently in order to
care for the large volume of business
which was offered 1t. and that the
success of that company has been
largely credited to the efforts of Mr..

operate about seven trucks until
