WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-American n
Railroads are completing a record year
srd have m intention of asking an
other general increase in rates. Thomas
De vi Cay.eI. chairman Of tne AS
sociation Of Railway Executives, de-
clsred tonight in q statement review
ing the railroad situation for 1920.
The year just ending Mr. Cuyler as
serted. saw American railroads placed
again under private operation. and
under such direction saw them move a
larger gross tonnage than ever before
and also establish new records in the
amount OF Transportation got out Of
each car. These records, Mr.. Cuyler
added. were not achieved by the rail
roads alone. but with the aid of ship
Ders in unloading cars and with "the
day and night, rain or shine w~rk of
hundreds OF thousand Of employees"
The Railway Executives Association
chairman referred in his review to re-
ports that the railroads plan to ask for
further increase in rates, and in that
connection said: Il know of no move
ment on the part of the railroads for
a general increase in rates, nor do | ex-
pect any. 1t is true that the railroad
companies are not yet receiving from
the increased rates an thing like the
per cent return needed, but the railway
executives realize that they are trus-
tees q = great puy!ic int est in tne
reduction OF railroad operating ex-
9enses to the lowest possible figure.
and every effort viii be made during
the coming year to accomplish this by
fur~her economies and efficiency"
Figures Reflect Pnegress
The achievements Of the railroad
companies since return of their lines to
private operation last March were set
4orth by Chairman Cuyler as follows:
increased the average movement per
freight car per day 6.3 miles-from % 8
to 2s.67 miles. Increased the average
Load per car II tons--from 2S.3 to 80
tons.
Made substantial reduction in the
number OF unserviceable locomotives
Reduced the accumulation of loaded

Farmers Council Head
Opposes Tax ON Sales
Asserts Wealth of Country Is
Seeking to Evade Financial
RESPONSIBILITIES


WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Vieorous
opposition to tax legislation which con-
templates levies on sales was voiced
here to-day by George P. Hampton,
managing director Of the Farmers Ma
tional Council.
America financed the war largely by
discounting the future and the con-
centrated wealth of the country Is now
making concerted effort to evade its
financial sponsibilities and to make
the workers pay most Of the war costs
through a retail sales tax and similar
consumption taxes" Mr.. Hampton
charged
He asserted that the national wealth
is estimated at 100000 100000, with
fewer than $4,000 persons out Of the
total population Of los, 100000 owning
close to a quarter of the national
wealth.
IA retail sales tax and other sales
taxes and all levies on food, clothing
and shelter, called consumption taxes"
Mr.. Hampton declared, "must be paid
chiefly by the workers on the farms, in
factories, mines and transportation,
millions of whom are now getting less
than the minimum wage necessary to
maintain q family on 8 decent Ameri-
can Standard"
Mr.. Hampton demands that the full
money cost Of the war should be paid
by taxation on incomes, corporation
profits, estates and privileges, assert
ing that such taxes will yield between
$1,000, 100000 and $4,000, 900, 900 year
for many years without imposing any
hardships on any one.
American farmers who this year
have lost billions through the slump
in farm prices" he said, will fight to
the end the plan of the selfish privi-
legged interests to saddle the huge war
debt on our people for years. The
farmers insist upon the prompt pay
ment of that debt by those who profted
so hugely by the war and by the mo-
nopolies built up in this country before

There is the restfulness of evening under
the eo{t lights of the Evening Clothes Room
in The Mans Shop-a peaceful contempla~
ton of the full dress coat and the wastcoat,
the dinner coat and the hat.
One gets there sense of color and propor~
tion-of evening dress proprieties-a reali~
cation that these clothes were made for the
gentlemen and scholars of etiquette who
observe the finer details.
Here is the single~stud evening shirt for full
dress, and the two studs s~to~show shirt for the
Tuxedo--the favored English dress collar and
the tie whose correctness is SO important.
The socks which may be worn, the dress
shoes for both styles of evening suits, the
muf1er which does not violate good usage
everything which pertains to evening dress
may be seen in its true relation.
This includes, of course, the evening dress
overcoat in its various forms, from simple
Melton to the luxurious tu~fur~lined coat.
Should your need be merely collar or a
waistcoat visit the Evening Clothes Room and
