Officials Reply to
 Campaign Attacks

Little Rock, Aug. 16-In reply to certain candidates for governor, ans wering bitter attacks on the differ ent departments of state during the campaign just closed, the Arkansas Corporation commission, composed ot T. A. Wood, chairman, Herbert R Wilson and w. G. Brasher, Monday morning issued statement defend, ing the commission. It is known that the members of the corpaEation com mission are not alondN9 resentine attacks made; upon 6EA, Hhtt:anc other departwants 'havaS intimated that they you'd flgslllow lsl,,s in. in the wake ! of, the. cogfora tios SSoatntfii ssion and clear up she "fog" left by the diff The .sasa bra n EassAssion in is. suingsifs Statement declared that its attentiBn had, been called to certain "statements circulated by one of the candidates for governor that are de. rogatory to this department of state governmental The statement saic that the members of the commission realized that it was the common prac tice of office seekers to make wal on boards and commissions but that "many of the statements made by one of the candidates for governo. are so wholly without foundation that we deem it advisable to .mak, this statement"
 The statement deals, however; witf only one accusation made by tn, candidate, while other charges brought are ignored. In the state. ment of the candidate mentioned whom the commission failed to name it was charged that the commission paid fee of $4,OO0 to Hamilton Moses, an attorney of Little Rock for services impossible to perform and to pay political debt"

to the retailer. But the showing is sufficient to establish the utter lack of justification for any general advance in living costs as result of the new rates. If there is such an advance, it will be only another phase of profitcering, with which, we may be sure, ways will be found to deal.
 "These added freight charges should be absorbed by the manufac- tureds and dealers. They can afford to do so on their present scale of profits. To do otherwise is only to start series of added percentages to original modest costs which con- vert few mills in increased freight charges into dimes, half dollars and even dollars by the time essentials to living reach the household of the consumer.
 "There is three- billion bushel corn crop. The wheat crop is one of the largest in our history. These supply basic essentials to living. With State as well as national ad- ministration that will deal vigorous ly with extortion ond other prevalent abuses living costs should decline sharply, not go up."

FREIGHT RATES AND LIVING
 COSTS.

There is no sound truth in the walls of certain parties that the re- cent wage advance to railway em- ployes and the consequent increase in freight rates, will cause heavy increase in the already top-heavy cost of. living, if figures of railway experts mean anything.
 An editorial in the St. Louis Post Dispatch recently shows the trifling increase in the cost of various com mpdities that the new freight rates will mean and warns the public to refuse to be held up for sharp ad- yances in prices on the pretext of higher freight Qates. While the fig rres given in the editorial are pre- zared for St. Louis territory, they Arll give an approximate idea of how snuch the increase will mean on va xious commodities in Pine Bluff While St. Louis enjoys lower freight rate than Pine Bluff through its river facilities, it is hardly pos sible that the small freight rates will justify price increases even twice the small advance that the ,enst- Dispatch says will be justified in St. Louis. ',
 The Post Dispatch editorial says:
 "President Bush of the Missouri Pacific railroad has made compu- tation to show the exact effect of the railroad rates on the cost of mum { Der of important commodities in the St. Louis market.
 "In St. Louis conditions are typical z of national conditions. If the point of production of some commodities is little nearer to this city than to the average city, that of many oth CT essentials is much farther. The computation may be accepted as hav- ing a general application to the ef- feet of these rates in the country at large.
 "And highly instructive showing it is. MT. Bush figures that dressed meats of all sorts, now hauled from Kansas City for 23 cents hundred pounds, will pay 8 cents more hun dred, or only s-10 of a mill per & pound.
 ~On potatoes from the State of Kansas, the present rate is 24 cents , hundred, to which 1-2 cents is s 10 be added, of S5-1OO of mill per pound,
 The new rate will add about 2 cents to the cost of 24-paund sack of flour shipped here from Minneap- olis. On canned goods, the increased rate amounts to from 2 to 4 mills on each two-pound can, according to distance. On coffee and sugar, from New Orleans, the increase is 1 IF mills per pound and on milk IA mills per quart from the chief dairy Qenters adjacent to St. Louis. With 1n radius of 250 miles the freight on eggs will be 1-2 mills more pel dozen and on butter originating al points within 300 miles 1-2 mill, more per pound.
 SOn clothing shipped from 1,O0l 10 1900 miles, the increase vii amount to 1-10 cents on suit, mills on a short, socks an under wear, l cent per pair on shoes, l.: mill per yard on calicoes, sheeting and ginghams.
 The figures do not tell the who'll < etory, but to go deeper into the sub feet would necessitate very com plex calculation. For instance, cat tie must pay the increased rate t. z to packing centers as we'll as dress ed Ihsats to the place of consump tion. After that hides must pay tn, increased rate to the tannery and th' leather the increased rate from thu tannery to the factory, as well a' 1he pair of shoes from the factory
