MORE RATE INCREASES

The new application filed yesterday by the rail roads with the Interstate Commerce Commission for additional increases in all tariffs, both freight ana passenger to be effective in all parts of the United States is probably justified by the advance in Wa ces just awarded to railway employees by the Rail way Labor Board. Even under former wage scales the roads have not been paying expenses and ln- creases in rates were asked several months applications for which now under considers tion by the Interstate Commerce Commission
 The announcement that the roads will be com pelled to charge for all classes of service in order to meet the wage bill under the new award naturally the question to arise in the public mind as to where this thing is going to lead Ad- vances in pay to the workers raised rates to be taken ultimately out of the pockets of the whole people. It is a vicious circle which brings ever increasing costs at time when everybody is clam erng about costs already too high.
 When Government railroad directorate raised rates howl up about the costliness of Gov ernment operation of the roads. In a short time a considerable part of the public misled into believing that it inefficient management by the Government rather than by altogether con ditions caused by the and which were even then similarly affecting other industries This was altogether disproved time ago, when just follow ing of the roads to private operation rail road executives announced that rates in existence the of the return must be raised to produce $1000 GOO 900 more in revenue every twelve months which amount it asserted would be lost if there were increases. The entire deficit of the roads during the 26 months of Federal control and opera tion amounted to only $500, ,O00,000.
 Before the Commission make known its de cision regarding the first application for rate in creases, second is filed. The latest proposed increases substantial and will materially affect the country at large. Twenty per cent. added on to the present passenger rates is light burden.
 A total of 32 per in increases is wanted in freight tariffs by the Western roads which will very materially affect costs everything market able which the consumer buys. And 50 per cent. advance in Pullman rates is the most radical ad- vance proposed in recent years. The present rail situation cannot but convince the majority of peo- pie that something not yet tried must be found in order to abate transportation costs Either the roads must increase their efficiency by time and labor saving devices and cheaper or the pub lie abandon all idea of cheap transpor aton for generations to And from the record it is reasonable conclude that the roads under private control and operation have not and are not show ing any more, in fact, if much, efficiency and economy in operation shown by Federal con- trol during the

HARDING'S ACCEPTANCE

Alaskans, generally without regard for political utilization. will rejoice in the reference to Alaska made by Senator Warren G. Harding in his speech of acceptance of the Republican Presidential nom nation His recognition, though late. makes partial amends for failure to insert Alaskan plank in the Republican platform
 It is meet that both big parties should make known definite Alaskan policies. The Democratic party has set forth comprehensive program for Alaska and committed itself 10 certain definite promises be fulfilled in the party is successful at the polls next November. The Re publican platform contains absolutely nothing on the subject. This fact makes all the more valuable Senator IIarding's statement favoring liberal" Alaskan policy. and it will be remembered in case of a Republican victory. The Empire. however, may offer bit of criticism which is not in itself de structive. and that s, MT Harding is not definite enough about the policy he proposes.
 We say this in all sincerity without trace of partisanshp. It may be that the nominee was more definite than the brief telegraph summaries Of the address indicate in which will welcome it heartily than The Empire. We have said before and repeat il neglect 10 set forth specific Alaskan policy in its platform by either of the big parties is blow the Territory and one to be regretted by every Alaskan.

BRYAN STICKS

MT. Bryan's absolute refusal to accept the Presi- dential nomination the hands of the Prohibition party sets at all that the noted Ne braskan intended to withhold support to the Demo- cratic ticket this Fall. In fact in his refusal he indicates that his support is forthcoming by the statement that he cannot cut loose from the party which has so signay honored him in the past.
 He also shows full realization of the fact that after all Prohibition is not the only reform needed in American national life. As an issue it is no more The Supreme Court decision on the const- tutionality of the Dry amendment fixed its place in the United States. That being done, the need for a political subdivision espousng the cause of Prohibition is at end.
 The removal of Prohibition paramount is sue, gives place for achievement of other needed reforms and MT. Bryan is not politically unwise after all these years to imagine that he can ac- complish anything of great moment by a1gning him self with any minority movement which has as its only for existence question already settled He is still loyal the great party which has ac- claimed him leader than one occasion and by which he still held in great esteem. Nor is he understanding the strength of the Prohibition party when he concludes that he can accomplish more for the benefit of the country by continuing his work in the Democratic ranks than by jumping to the former organization
