No Missouri Extra Session

Jefferson City, July Ex-Governor
Gardner will issue a statement TO-
morrow on the subject of calling Il
special session of the legislature I'M
nediately following the primary
election, August 3. There is no
doubt he will assign reasons aga,hss
special session at least until after
the November election.
Months ago the governor sad nc
would call special session IT the
necessary states ratified the fedora!
equal suffrage amendment to the end
that Missouri election laws could be
so changed as to enable women to
register and vote at the coming Nov
cmter election. The governor does
not now believe that it will be ratl-
fled by the thirty-six states in time
tor the women of Missouri to vote
at the next election so his cause ior
a special election does not now exist
Still another reason the governor
has for not convening the Legislature
at this time is that the. senate is
dominated by Democrats and tnf
house by Republicans and in a heat
ed campaign the governor think:
party lines would be sharply drawn
and between the partisans OF tht
parties no beneficial laws to the pub
lie would be passed.

HARD1NG's ACCEPTANCE ,n
SPEECH VAGUE
Cummings Says Speech is a Con.
fession of Failure.

Washington, July 23.-Ihough
Democratic leaders here characterize:
Sen. Warren G. Harding's speech OF
acceptance at Marion, O., Thursday
as vague" in spots and on the de
fensive" in others, they claim the
campaign issue between Democrats
and Republicans is at last clearly
drawn.
If not, they say, it will be as soon
as Gov. James NJ. Cox, the Demo,
cratic nominee, makes his speech OF
acceptance at Dayton, August :.
Pressure is being brought to bear on
the governor to say precisely what
he means, and assurances have been
received that he will do that.
Homer S. Cummings, former
chairman of the national Democratic
committee, just back from Columbus
criticized the Republican standard
bearers utterances.
The speech of acceptance, ht
said, delivered by Senator Hard
ing, is not only confession of fail
urc. but it is an acknowledgment
of responsibility upon the part OF the
Republican senate for the defeat OF
the peace treaty. The fiction thai
President Wilson was responsible fol
this defeat seems to have beel
abandoned.
The address" he continued, "ac'
knowledges our moral obligations I
our allies and the futility of the worlt
struggle from which we have
emerged unless international peace 4
made secure, and yet the Republican
candidate rejects the only existing
plan for securing world peace ant
offers nothing tangible in its place.

RAIL CHIEFS. ASK as PER CENT
RATE RAISE TO MEET PAY
AWARD
Seek to Boost Tariffs on Passenger
Freight and Pullman Service.

Washington, July 23.--To provide
an additional revenue to meet tne
5000, DOC, 900 increase in wages award
cd BY the Railway Labor board, tint
railways proposed today to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission that
passenger rates be advanced 20 per
cent, and freight rates 9.13 per cent
in addition to the 27.6 per cent pre-
viously requested They proposed a
surcharge of 50 per cent be made on
Pullman fares, that excess baggage
rates be increased 20 per cent ana
that milk tariffs be increased to the
same level as freight rates.
Should theses increases and those
previously asked be granted in fuil
existing freight rates would be ad-
vanced 800 per cent and the nation
freight bill would be increased by
$1,3ss,37o,675. The total which
would be added to the passenger rev.
enue under the railway executives
plan would be $238,837,oS2 annually.
Pullman charges would go up $4S:'
63o,344 a year; the revenue on milk
would be increased $500, o8o and ex-
cess baggage would be advanced by
$I,42o,oo5. ., .,
The plan advanced by the rail-
roads disclosed that they have esti-
mated the wage award at approx
mately 100000, 900, instead OF the
5000, 900 600 figured by the Labor
Board. Alfred P. Thorn, gen
erai counsel of the Association OF
Railway Executives, explained thai
the SEC, 900 additional was tig-
ured on the basis of overtime allow
ances provided in the award.
The railroads proposal was SUP
mitted to the commission by. Mr.
Thom after a conference with it
members. 1t had been worked Oh
at a series of conferences OF railwa!
officials here since last Tuesday.
The commission made no com
.. ment and did not indicate whether
would order hearings.
Hearings of the billion-dolia
freight rate increase cases were con
, cluded two weeks ago and the gen
eral expectation has been that tn
commission would grant a single IN
crease to cover that and the addc
, expenses resulting from the wage al
tyances to permit the filing OF tn
new tariffs before the government
guarantee to the railroads expires Q
September I under the terms OF tn
transportation act.
The executives proposal as to HOY
they will finance the wage award wa
outlined in the following:
The carriers suggest that the rex
e enues required to meet the wae
II award be raised i'll part from pa
. sengcr train traffic and in part irtoi
!. freight train traffic by increasin
;. rates accruing from passenger tral
n traffic and by increasing the PEI

Americas draft army during the war,
Adit. Gen. Peter u. Harris said
Thursday. The war department has
been preparing mammoth. list OF
names of men who can be classcd as
actual draft deserters. This list is
expected to be complete soon, was
estimated to contain the -names-of
100, 900 "slackers.'
The men on the list nearing COM
pletion are those shown by the war
department records to have disre-
garded draft calls after they had reg
istered. The so-called draft cvaders
are those who failed TO register.

Kansas City Would Borrow Stat
Funds

Jefferson City,July 2r.-Governor
Gardner today refused to call spe-
cial session Of the State Legislature
to consider a bill which would pro-
vide funds to aid Kansas City. The
plan, it is said was fostered by Rev.
Burrus jenkins, editor of Kansas
City paper, and other prominent
Kansas Cityans.
According to the plan submitted TO
the Governor, state funds amounting
to more than Sill, ooo, 900 would be d.
verted to the use Of Kansas City,
which is badly in need of funds The
petition also states that Kansas City
paid more taxes than st. Louis.
Commenting on his refusal to act
on the matter, the Governor said the
project was illogical, illegal and
wholly Impractical.

Survey research work in Mes0pOta-
mia has revealed the fact that in for
mer times the country was covered
with q network Of canals, showing that
very celebrated system Of irrigation
must then have been in vogue. Some
Of these canals were 20 feet deep with
steep emhankments This interesting
information was stated by Lieut.. Col
O. a BeazeIey. royal engineers. in a
lecture given by him at the British
Royal Geographical society recently.
He also brought TO light the fact that
the city of Samarrah, which is now a
comparatively unimportant town. at a
period before the Christian era must
have been one of the most pOpulOus
trading centers of the East. The an
cient city was 20 miles in length and
215 in width, and 1t is estimated that
It contained about 100000 inhab1t-
ants. There/were miles Of walls and
warehouses, and 1t formed a converg-
ing point for caravans from a vast
area. Another city in MesOpOtamia,
the lecturer said, showed traces Of
having been laid out on the lines Of q
modern American city.

Government Newspape

1t is not generally known that in case
the recent railwaymens dispute in
Great Britain had developed into a
general strike, and the public had been
unable to obtain its customary news
papers, arrangements had been made
for the production of a government
daily.
It was to contain no editorial views
whatever, but simply record Of what
was happening at home and abroad.
Five million copies would have been
circulated by a squadron of 80 aero
planes. The governments idea was
that the dangers of a general strike
would be enormously enhanced if the
general public did not know what was
going on.
