OF
LEAGUE PACT
IS ADVOCATED
George Sherwood Eddy Says Unit
ed States Only Nation to Bring
Order 10 Europe.

Immediate ratification OF the
League of Nations pact by the
United States was advocated by
George Sherwood Eddy. noted
world traveller. author and lectur-
er, in an address delivered before
200 representative business men of
the tri-cities at noon today in the
banquet room of the Blackhawk
hotel. Davenport.
The United States is the only
world power that the conflicting
forces of Europe and Asia will
trust, declared the speaker. in re-
citing his reasons why the league
pact should be adopted by Amer
lea.
Mr.. Eddy drew a vivid word pic
ture of the deplorable conditions
existing at present in countries of
Europe, in Russia and Siberia, and
particularly in the smaller lands OF
the near east. He brought this
forcefully to the attention of his
hearers as the principal reason
why this country should not delay
longer in becoming part OF the
League of Nations. in order that
much of the want and suffering
will be alleviated through the good
Offices of the United States.
Takes Turk TO Task.
Mr.. Eddy, who since the armis-
tice was signed has encircled the
globe. laid particular emphasis on
the situation in Armenia, where he
says $4,000 have been murdered by
the Turks since November. 1918.
Added TO this is the famine and
pestilence sweeping over the land.
He urged that this country
should accept a mandate over the
near east and thus bring about a

Rail Rates To
Be Increased
Railroad Men Expect Federal
Ruling To Apply In Michigan

Railroad men believe that the in
crease in passenger and Pullman rates
authorized some time ago by the inter-
state commerce commission at Wash
ington, ID. c., will soon be placed in
force in Michigan for intrastate business.
When the boost in rates was authorized
the Michigan commission refused to
allow it to be applied to intrastate
business. Now comes ruling by the
interstate commission that rulings by
state commissions are invalid when
they conflict with the DEGREES of the
interstate commerce commission. The
decision was made in ihe New York
state roads establishing passenger and
baggage rates on intrastate traffic to
conform to advanced interstate rates.
The increase is twenty per cent on
passenger rates and fifty per cent on
Pullman rates.
Similar proceedings are pending
affecting more than half the states in
the Union.
By its order of last August the COM
mission authorized in the New York
region an increase of 40 per cent in
freight rates, 20 per cent in passenger
fares, excess baggage charges and rates
on milk and cream and also a sur
charge of so per cent on Pullman ac-
commodations. The New York public
service commission granted the freight
advance except on milk, but denied the
other increases within the state and the
carriers appealed to the interstate CON-
merce commission.
The federal body held that there was
general obligation resting upon it to
exercise control over intrastate COM
merce so far as it affects interstate
commerce.
"The decisive factor" the ruling said,
''is whether the rates under consider
alton injuriously affect interstate COM
merce."
Congress directed rates be allowed
which would yield an aggregate return
of from 51a to per cent on the value
Of the railway properties, the commits
sion stated, adding:
There can be no doubt of the power
of congress to devise and provide for
carrying into effect plan for assuring
the nations interstate railways a fair
return on the value of their properties
and the full control of congress in this
matter is not to be denied on the ground
that the carriers aggregate earnings
are comingling of intrastate revenue
and interstate revenue"

To Clean Up
Draft DeSerterS
First Step Will Be Publishing
List of Deserters.

Michigan is just about ready to start
its clean up of draft deserters. The
first step in the campaign will be the
publication of the names of wilful de-
serters with the intention of bringing
them to justice.
The war department is anxious to
eliminate the names of those who are
only technical violators before the list
is published and for this reason any
Michigan registrant who is uncertain
of his draft status should write the ad-
jutant general of the army at Washing
ton.
Among those whose names should
be eliminated from this list but who are
now listed draft deserters are the fol-
lowing:
Certain registrants who enlisted for
war service but who failed to notify
local boards and were thus classed as
deserters.
Certain registrants who died before
or after the date set for their induction.
Certain registrants who failed to obey
induction orders and who were later
given deferred classification by their
boards.
Certain draft registrants who served
with the allied powers but the in
formation pertaining to which failed to
reach their draft boards.
Certain registrants who were report
ed as deserters through various cleri-
cal errors.
Enemy aliens and aliens resident of
the United States, citizens of allied or
neutral countries, classified by their
boards as deserters.
All war records are now at Washing
ton and persons wrongfully classified
as deserters should give full statement
of the facts to the adjutant general.
For the credit of Michigan it is desired
to reduce the number of deserters TO
the lowest possible figure and not pub
lish the names of any in the list who
are not actually deserters from the
service.

West Fights
To Aid Farmer
Forget Party Lines In Effort To
Secure Favorable Legislation

Party lines are to be obliterated and
forgotten by midwestern and western
members of the house and senate this
winter in an effort to remedy the sit
uation which has stirred resentment
among farmers and livestock raisers,
it was learned here.
Informal conferences held among
Republican and Democratic senators
from western states have resulted in a
decision to hold an in ormal conference
of all senators from western states soon
after the December session begins,
Senator Hitchcock, OF Nebraska, stated.
At this conference working pro-
gram is to be mapped out, if possible,
for concerted action by senators from
farm and livestock states, regardless OF
party, in the interests of producers.
The first test of their strength is to
be made on the Kenyon-Kendrick pack
er bill, which will come before the
senate as soon as it meets.
Hitchcock said he and other Demo-
cratic senators will support the bill en-
ergetically and will seek to amend it to
reach some of the evils of which the
wheat and corn farmers are complain
ing.
Senators hostile to any regulation OF
the packers are preparing to talk the
bill to death, but Hitchcock predicted
they would have difficulty sidetracking
the measure, because of the strong
support it will command.
"The farmers in the corn and wheat
sections have been reused to great
resentment, said Hitchcock, because
of conditions which have lowered
prices to such an extent that makes
their future ruinous. Corn is selling
at less than the cost of production and
some corn farmers are threatening to
burn it rather than buy coal. The
farmers feel there is something wrong
with the marketing system, or control
OF the markets, and they demand some
corrective measures be taken.
1--WE westerners are going to try to
get together regardless of party on
measures on behalf of our constitu
ency."
