BUSINESS NEEDS
MORE FREEDOM.

THE Government during the war be-
came largely bureaucratic and expert
ence has demonstrated its ineficiency
and unsuitablenes in times of peace.
There must be no continuance of bu-
reaucracy; It makes business batting
possible; 1t binders rather than helps
What business needs is a freedom
from harassment and uncertainty. The
test of any proposed law should be:
VIII It make business better able to
serve the public; does 1t hold forth some
thing constructive which promises real
benefitf' Measures such as the Ken
Henderson bills now before Congress
merely aim to tear down existing in
situations without Offering something
definite and practical to replace them
They are founded on suspicion and
sophistries and they should be recognized
as what they are-obstacles to progress.
Among the greatest lessons of the war
are the need for adequately organized
and efficiently conducted industry and the
danger incident to giving malcontents
with radical tendencies license to upset
the established order OF things.
Il sincerely hope the new administra--
ton will function on a business basiss
and adopt course of helping business
serve the public better"

LIVING COST
AND TAXES

THE part that heavy taxes play IN
making the cost Of living high, is scarce
realized. For every dollar of taxes paid
directly by the individual, many dollars
are paid indirectly and the tax burden
~ SIS invisible as it is intolerable.
Credit stringency today is caused largely
by the fact that the Government is a
big borrower for current debts. The
Issuance Of long-term bonds would reFE
move the Government as industry's CONS 2
pehtor for credit and banks could then :,
use their funds, and the proposed bonds
as well, for additional and perfectly safe ),
credit expansion making possible SUITS
able housing OF the people and Industrial &
activity which would give employment
to all.
at IS highly important that the new
administration realizes the wheels Of in-,a
dustry must be kept humming. The
proposed revenue measure involving a s
tax on sales merits close attention. BUSH !
ness has always been the Governments
chief tax collector, though the public Z
has never quite understood the function :
OF business II there Is anything par
tlcularly worthy In this new plan Il
lies in the fact that under it the peopia
will know that the Government and notd
business, IS responsible for the tax.
Under no circumstances should the tax
simply be levied on gross sales and col-s
lected out of gross revenues, for that I
method would tend to wipe out 6usi-za
nesses, like the packing industry, whicha
are conducted on such narrow margins i
that even 1 per cent tax on gross
sales would make maintenance and ade-
Quate expansion practically impossibles
unless the tax is collected as a separSt9
entity after the manner of the amuse-
meut tax

less in which I am engaged, and I cling -
to the belief that anything that is good
for my business will be good for the 4
public; otherwise, l would not give You e
the interview you ask. seess

PRESIDENT WILL
NOTIFY POWERS
Official Information that Senate
Failed to Ratify Treaty
Be Given.

Washington, March 22--In the alb
sence of any authoritative prediction
as to what President Wilson will do
with the unratified treaty with Ger
many. the impression gained weight
in diplomatic circles today that his
first step probably will be notification
to the other powers that the senate
has refused ratification. In some quar-
ters it is predicted that in doing this
the president might indicate his fu-
ture course regarding the treaty.
Senate leaders are understood to have
been influenced in part by such pos
sibility in their decision to delay ac-
ton on a declaration Of peace, pre-
ferrfng to know what the president
will do before they take any further
steps. There was some discussion Of a
peace declaration proposal in informal
conferences among senators but it was
predicted it would not come up on the
floor for fortnight or more

Positions of Their Thinly Scat

Beirut. Mar. 22.-Emir Feisal, the
newly elected king of Syria, has de-
clared a boycott against countries oc-
cupying territory of Arabs - France
and Eng1and-and has organized a
commission for the purpose of bring
ing Moslems and Christians into a
better understanding.
Posters displayed a Damascus.
where the Syrian congress proclaimed
the independence of that country de-
clared:
I'm spite of himself, the Moslem is
brother to the Christian and the Jew.
The Arabs existed before Christ, Moses
or Mohammed, and freedom and inde-
pendence are rights of Syria. Religion
lis of God and the fatherland belongs
to his children
The Syrian congress signed a de-
cree asking foreigners to evacuate that
region, and Palestine and Mesopotamia
are reported to have been included. A
committee organized in Lebanon has
issued a statement alleging that the
district was illegally represented in
the congress of Damascus when the
independence of Syria was declared.
Lebanon is in a section of Syria sup
posed to be strictly loyal to France
and anxious for a French mandate,
but the Turkish nationalist and Syrian
movements are so general throughout
Syria and Cilicia that it. seems inn
probable France can continue her oc-
cupation of districts there unless she
receives strong reinforcements.
French forces are reported TO have
been repulsed and compelled to retreat
from -Curva. The entire Anada sec
ton is a ferment and the roads are in
tested by hillmen cooperating with
Turkish nationalists who make the
position of the thinly scattered French
forces perilous.

HEARING
Is BEING. HELD
Railway Executives and Work
ers Appear Before Interstate
Commerce Commission
CLASH AS TO METHOD
Executives Estimate Valuation
at 20 Billions-Employes
Want Valuation Delayed

Washington, March 22.-Railroad ex-
ecutives and employees differed widely
before the interstate commerce COM
mission today as TO the proper methods
for determining the valuation of roads
upon which the annual net return of
five and a half per cent is guaranteed
for the next two years by the trans
portation act. A p Thorn, general
counsel for the Association of Railway
Executives, declared that congress made
imperative an immediate valuation. He
estimated the total valuation at twenty
billion dollars. Donald r. Richberg.
speaking for the employees, contended
it is not necessary to make a valua-
ton now.
The hearings are to determine the
basis for an adjustment of railroad
rates so as to yield the roads a return
of So per cent on their aggregate value
as provided in the new transportation
law.
The commission is to determine
whether the adjustment shall be made
for the carriers as whole or in rate
groups or territories to be designed
by it and what method shall be elrl-
ployed in determining the aggregate
value of the RAILROAD property.
Representatives OF spract{sally 81 the
railroads and shippers organizations
We're present.
The hearings are expected to con-
tinue three days.
+ Use of the railroads property &C
count as the sole basis for determin-
ing the aggregate value was urged by
Forney Johnston, of Birmingham, Ala.
counsel for the association of owners
of railroad securities.
Transportation needs Of the country
must be taken into consideration in
fixing the new rates, Mr.. Johnston
said
Benjamin Campbell, representing the
association of railway executives,
asked the commission to continue the
classification into the Eastern, Western
and Southern divisions as the group
ings for determining the new rate ad-
iustment. A change of grouping, he
said. would result in confusion to both
shippers and railroads.
