NEW TRANSPORTATION ACT
 BOUNTEOUS GIFT TO CARRIERS
Removes Almost the Last Vestige of the Power of the
 States to Regulate Rates Within Themselves

that fare continued in effect until June 25, 191S- Later it became the prac- tice of states to create commissions, clothing them with making and other regulatory powers.
 As the nation grew and our frontiers began to disappear. the necessity for interstate regulation of comon carriers gradually became more apparent. The carriers had always had a free hand in the making of interstate rates. In many instances railroad officials were financially interested in enterprises to which their companies gave special privileges and preferential rates. It was the practice to cover the rate by a billing order or midnight tariff. one copy of which was furnished to the beneficiary, one copy to each of the ion. the only remaining copy being
 etained in the files of the general freight department. Frequently no record was made of these clandestine transactions. The beneficiary would simply pay the regular tariff rate and on presentation of the paid freight bill co the chief traffic officer of the rail- road would receive the rebate which previously had been agreed upon. Free passes were distributed by freight soli- citors to such an extent that the rev
 snue from passenger train service was considered exceptionally good when sver it paid the cost of advertising. Certain classes of traffic. notably beer and packing house products. were not

bearing their proper proportion of the total transportation expense.
 The granting of rebates and special privileges by common carriers had such a baneful influence on our com mercial life that grating and other forms of official delinquency were openly Winked at. Business morality had receded to such low ebb that merit and ability in individuals was measured and judged by results, no mater how reprehensible were the means employed to obtain them
 Then came the rerormation. Popu- .ar resentment had been aroused to such a pitch that the senate ordered nation wide investigation of trans portation conditions. The following year 1SSD congress passed the in- terstate commerce act. There was an mediate revulsion of feeling toward past methods. Business, big and little, experienced a change of heart. The act proved to be as beneficial to the carriers as it was to the public. The iiscontinuance of free passes and re- oates, the abolition of the overnight method of establishing rates. and the abandonment of preferential transit privileges placed all carriers and all shippers on d fairly equitable basis; and in the final analysis the carrier chat made the best time and gave the best service got the most business.
 Those who are familiar with the subject will doubtless remember that while this act authorized the commits sion appointed under it to take cog nizance of and abate all unjust dis elimination, it was not until 1906 that congress gave the commission power to prescribe maximum interstate rates. The situation then was this: The carriers continued to have the right to make their own interstate rates, sub ject only to the interstate commerce commissions authority to reduce them: and such rates having been

 A.-Botulism is a form of what for poisoning" The condition was first described about 100 years ago. The name b. tulisms is derived from the cases having followed the eating of sausage.
 In this form of poisoning there ls a bowel symptoms so common with other they come on in from 24 to 36 hours uncommon. The symptoms are mainly tenn, and consist Of disturbances of secretion and symmetrical muscular paralysis, the latter affecting especially the muscles applied by the craniai nerves. Hence there are disturbances of vision, double vision. difficulty in swallowing. dryness of the mouth and throat and loss of voice. Obstinate constipatio and retention of urine are also observed. To physicians all of the symptoms are strongly suggestive of atropine poisoning. The mind is clear and undisturbed to the last.

FavOrs Junior College.
L. D. Coffman Says; Every County
Needs One.

A junior college in nearly every
county in the state would do much
toward relieving the crowded condi-
tions at the university of Minnesota,
in the opinion of it's new president, L..
D. Coffman. Conditions at Minneso-
ia, where there are 7,437 students en-
rolled, are similar to those existing at
other educational institutions in the
United States, President Coffman
said. He explained that there are
more secondary pupils in this country,
counting a four-year high school
course, than in all the other civilized
countries of the world combined.
About twenty-four percent of these
pupils matriculate in some college or
university, he said.
There are two causes for this over
crowding," he continued. "There are
the war and a faith on the part of the
people of the state in education. The
war delayed registrations more than
one year in many cases, resulting IL
great piling up of matriculations at its
end and this growing confidence in
education itself has done even more
to increase the number of students.
Even had there been no war, the regis
tration in 1920 would have been about
the same-7,437."
Eager for System.
Asked if he thought the present ov-
ercrowding would produce any new
forms or systems of education in Min
nesota, DR.. Coffman said he did not
believe it would, but added that the
university of Minnesota had always
been eager for system Of junior col
leges and that there was not county
in the state that could not support a
junior college"
These junior colleges, he went on
would make it possible for the univer-
sity to handle the upper-classmen only
and doing away with the overcrowd-
ing. most of which exists in the lower
classes. President Coffman also said
that he would like to see state educa-
tional commission created, whose duty
it would be to outline a state educa-
tional plan for all grades from the
Kindergarten to the college.
"Three problems resulting from ov-
ercrowding." President Coffman said,
"are housing, maintaining of compe-
tent staff and financing, and no uni
versity has solved any one. The hous-
ing situation at the University of Min
nesota is handled by the women's dor
mitory and cooperative cottages, by
fraternities and sororities and by stu
dent boarding houses.
Maintaining of competent staff Is
the chief difficulty, after all, for upon
it rest the welfare of the university
A state university suffers two kinds
of competition in keeping its profes-
sors, especially the more able ones

Avoid Crepe Hangers.

The present day crepe hanger should
be given a wide berth. He should be
ordered to take to the woods where
he can join in the wall that is made
by the wolves and the chorus of the
jackets. He certainly is not wanted
in the society of those who believe and
are talking optimism. This is a sea-
son of good cheer, the time of the
year when suns hine should be distri-
buted along the pathway Of life-and
especially so in business and financial
circles.
Some people talk as if the country
was going to the dogs. They are
spreading gloom in divers and sun
dry places. They really should have
a membership in the Society Of Pes
simists and Joybreakers. They are
the fiends who delight in taking the
happiness out of ether peoples lives.
They revel in calamity bowling and
pleasure killing. They are verltable
pests and should be ostracised from
the charming companionship of their
fellowmen.
The country is al right. There is
no reason for pesimispl and thick gobs
of gloom. There is plenty of money
in the land and people are gong to
spend it-probably not as lavlshIy as
they did during the war, but they will
buy with that freedom which is char

acteristic of the American people.
This is not nation of tightwads. The
people are liberal and they believe in
putting their cash into circulation. A
momentary lull in trade should not
cause everybody to lose heart and
hang crepe in the most conspicuous
places. There is no occasion for any
one losing his nerve.
Keep stiff upper lip. Be cheerful,
fill your heart and soul with the sea-
sons good will. Do not forget that
this is the time Of the year when the
buying public is more in evidence
than at any other time. There's rea-
son. This is the yuletide period when
joy is widespread and people are gen.
erous in mind and in the material
things. Upon the heart-strings there
is played music which appeals to the
better nature of mankind.
So cast aside all gloom, be merry
be optimistic Business will revive
trade will take-on new tone. The
best tonic for everybody at this time
is dose of optimism. 1t reaches the
spot and kills the ills of pessimism
Business men and manufacturers are
carrying their burdens well and taking
their losses with a smile. They are
not discouraged. They know that the
country is going to keep right OF
travelling the highway of prosperity
They are the advance agents of glac
tidings. They see the beacon light O.

construction costs will prevent some
of its accomplishment"
In discussing remedies for over
crowding in use at other institutions,
President Colffman mentioned two. At
Yale university, he said, an all-fresh-
man year is being used, that is, all
freshman take the same course, no
matter what profession they may plan
to take up, and then choose their life
work near the end of the first year.
This standardization, he said, re
suits in great saving in time"
At Washington university, accord
ing to DIR. Coffman, standard teach
ing load" is used That is, all teach
ers are expected to teach the same
number of hours in class as students
are expected to attend in a week. AL
lowances are made for routing, exc
cutive and laboratory work. Were
this plan adopted, university of Min
nesota professors would teach an
average of fifteen hours a week in
class, unless specially exempted GER
tain number of hours for marking
themes, departmental work, research
or other special duty.

My life was never destined TO be

with nothing to hope for, with nothing
definite to seek or strive for. Inherited
wealth is big handicap to happiness

cocaine is to morality. If man makes

certain happiness in its possession

ness he has constant use for it. But
the man who inherits it has none OF
this. The first satisfaction, and the

competition from business such as
manufacturing and mercantile estab-
lishments, and great foundations; and
competition from private schools with
foundations and endowments.
Losses Were Heavy.
'The state institution is drained of
many of its more able men as a re-
suit of this competition, and the uni
versity of Minnesota has lost about
$50 professors a year since 1917.
There are two effects of this drain
age of able men in the upper grades
of the teaching profession from the
state institutions. The first, of course,
is that it reduces the force of men on
hand, and causes immediate inconven-
fence and difficulty. The second is the
more far-reaching for it is the dis
couragenent of new men who might
have entered the profession had they
not seen the fatal monetary difference
between the returns of the profession
and the outside lines of endeavor.
"The university of Minnesota must
be made able to compete with other
schools and with business for men if
it is to retain the high standard schol-
astically that has been its portion. In
spite of these disadvantages, the state
university has been fortunate, many
of it's best men remaining at lower
wages than they were offered else
where, because they felt confident that
Minnesotans would meet the market
price in time and because they, in
case of older men had homes and
friends here they were loath to part
from. But after all, loyalty must be
requitted, for man cannot pay taxes
rent, or the grocer without money.
"The university of Minnesota,
President Coffman said, may get the
money it needs by benefactions, by
increasing the tuition and by increased
legislative appropriations. 1t is ap-
parent that most benefactions are Civ,
en- to private or endowed schools anc
colleges rather than to state institu
tions. In state university, / believe
/ it is a mistake to go on adding in
definitely to tuition fees when money
is needed, and the board of regent:
has been lOath to do this. 1t tends t.
create a limitation of enrolment
which is aristocratic, and which ha:
no place in democracy.
