FREIGHT LEAST

Director General Hines Says Rail-
road Transportation Costs
Are Lowest in History.
NOT CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES.
Freight Advances Compared With Rise
In Value of GoodO--Transportatlon
Cheapest Thing Public Buys.
Charges on Some Articles.

Data complied from authoritative
sources shows that railroad freight
rates are the least factor in the cost
of living. Although the proportion Of
the total cost of goods that can be
charged to transportation is not known
with statistical accuracy, 1t Is estimat-
cd that the average transportation cost
of things produced In this country La
very small percentage Of their total
cost to the consumer.
Freight Cost "a Per Cent Of Total.
In letter to Representative John J.
Esch, chairman Of the House Commit.
tee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman
Of the Southern Pacific Company,
points out that In the last five years
the value Of goods increased ON an Az.
erage of $53 q ton, wAile freight
charges advanced only 90 cents O ton.
In five years. he explains, the aver
age value OF freight carried by the
railroads increased from 500 to $119 a
ton. The cost Of carrying this increaS-
ed from 81 to $3.50, paid to the rail-
roads. In 1914 he adds, SO per cent
of the total cost of the goods was
spent for transportation. In 1919 only
~ per cent was spent.
''In other words" Mr.. Kruttschnitt
writes, "only 80 cents out of $68, or 10
cents out Of every dollar Of increase in
value Of commodities In 1919 was caus-
I'd by increased freight charges Tho
responsibility for the remaining $62.2O,
or 987 cents out of every dollar. must
be sought elsewhere. It was not cauS"
ed by freight rates"

In no other country Of the world IL
transportation furnished at 30 low O

Choice Ideal Man for
Presidential Race.

Senator Reed Smoot. Of Utah, one
OF the most Influential leaders in
Republican party councils. returned
to Washington Sunday night with
the Republican Presidential nomi-
nee. Senator Warren G. Harding.
1t was Senator Smoot who acted
alternately with former Senator
Albert J. Beveridge. OF Indiana, as
chairman pro tenn of the convention
In welding the gavel whenever
Chairman Lodge needed a moments
rest. And It. was Senator Smoot
who Joined in all the councils OF
the party chiefs which finally
brought about the decided switch in
the ninth and tenth ballots for
Harding.
II am proud that the Republican
party nominated Senator Harding" |"
said Senator Smoot today. His ca
reer Is one Of notable achievement
from humble surroundings.
The ticket IL the best the con-
vention could have chosen. In Gov.
Coolidge Senator Harding has a
running mate who has done things,
and who will continue to do big
things. The two men are a credit
to the work Of the convention"
As soon as Senator Smoot finish
es up the work which has accumu-
lated during the past few days he
will leave for Utah to take up
active campaigning for reelection,
to the United States Senate. Next

taken place.
There will be no Bryan so-called

The San Francisco convention had
not reached a. ballot this morning.
but the probable standing of the
three leading candidates, Palmer. Nc.
Adoo and Cox, will be in the order
named. There were efforts to break
the strength of the McAdoo forces
but without avail and this candidate
in spite of his declaration that he is
not to be considered in the list is put
down with 247, Palmer's vote being
ZIG and Cox's 16O. This leaves All
votes uncast. Palmers votes are con-
sidered favorable to McAdoo on a f.
nal showdown.
The convention was forced to ad-
jour after a futile all-night session

for and against wet and dry planks.
The committee finally. decided 80 to

The United States supreme court
has decided that the North Dakota
industrial program is constitutional.
AS a result the people Of that state
win their hard fought fight OF putting
into effect plans for state ownership
of number of great public utilities
including state bank. While there
can be no question that the plan EN-
bodies the principles of state social
ism, it is equally true that since the
citizens of North Dakota Ehave seven
times voted in favor of the program
which the supreme court has just up
held, that they are entitled to have
it put in operation.
The decision of the supreme court
is right in that it permits the people
of a sovereigs state to determine its
own internal policies as long as they
are not in conflict with the federal
