PASSENGER FARES
 IN EFFECT SEPT. {
LITTLE ROCK TICKET Sl.2O
Increases Made By Railroads Under l, (. C. Order-Local and
 Long Hauls Up.

Passenger tariffs governing the new fares to be placed in effect under the recent order of the interstate com merce commission have been received at the Conway ticket office of the Missouri Pacific The increases grant ed by the commission affect both local and long hauls, which are boosted con- slderably Passengers from Conway to Little Rock, who make up a big part of the traffic to and from Con- way, will pay S120 for their ride as compared with the fare of 99 cents now in effect. An example of the raises made on tickets for long dis tances is the fare from Conway to New York, now $43.04 and which will be $55.62 ofter September T.
 With increases on passenger and Pullman car fares and excess baggage rates, as well as on freight rates, the railroads stand to gain considerable additions to their revenue, said to be badly needed to reduce the deficit now being incurred in operation. The increases were granted by the inter- state commerce coYmission on July 24 at a hearing given petitions pre- sented by the Association of Amer ican Railway Executives The inter- val between July 27 and September 2 Is being used by the railroads in preparing their new tariffs for sub mission to the commission, which must approve them before they take effect. From the government stand point, the higher rates will mean larger revenues from war tax and will also lower the expense of meet ing the deficit created by railroad op- eration, which is paid by the govern ment under provision of the Esch- Cummins bill.
 Passengers from Conway to Lit tie Rock, if they care to take a Pull man car, can spend as much on a one-way fare as the round trip ticket now costs. Pullman fare to Little Rock is now 56 cents, and to this will be added a surchage of 50 per cent. making the total cost about $2, as compared with round trip ticket un- der the present rates at S199 War tax is included in the following table, which shows the tickets most com monly purchased at the Conway of flee, the present fares being given for comparison:

CnicaSO Ir1Dune-Omana Zee Leased WIRE
San Francisco, June 28-As Off
cial "keynoter" Homer Cummings,
national chairman of the democratic
party, started the democratic con-
vention on its way today by an old
fashioned, rip-roaring attack upon
the republicans. For two hours the
donkey planted its heels on the ribs
of the e. 0. P. elephant while the
enraptufed delegates and galleries
made the welkin ring with shouts
and cheers.
Woodrow Wilson'S seven years
record in peace and war years, the
treaty and the league of nations,
formed the framework of the bell
ringing" address and every sentence
of praise for the democrats was fol-
lowed by paragraph walloping the
republicans. On the league of ma
tons three sentences epitomize the
'keynoting" of Mr.. Cummings:
Must Protect League.
"We will not submit to the re-
pudiation of the peace treaty or to
any process by which it is whitfield
down to the vanishing point"
And again:
1T is not reservations that the
president stands against, but nulli-
fcation."
And again:
THE trouble with the treaty of
peace is that it was negotiated by a
democratic president"
Two sentences typifying Mr.. Cum
mings' onslaught upon the republi-
cans were:
mo blacker crime against civiliza-
ton has coiled the pages of our his
tory than the senate's defeat of the
peace treaty.
The old guard sold the honor
of America for the privilege of nom
mating reactionary for president"

Demonstrations for President Will
son of varied lengths punctuated the
opening session. Every mention of
the presidents name brought the
delegates to their feet cheering and
waving their hands. And just before
recessing the conclave sent a mes
sage to the While honse congratu-
lating the president on his seven
years of service.
From the start the democrats were
on their toes. An hour before OPEN
ing time they began drifting into the
wonderful hall, which is part of San
Francisco's civic center, a hall such
as no other national convention has
had for its meeting place. Every
body seemed happy-likewise pros
porous.
