COULD WE GET IN?

The Freelnan-J Journal has been asked
how, in its judgment, il would be pos
sible for the United States to join the
league Of nations under plans suggested
| by Senator Harding whether Or not
countries now members would accept
us with the reservations that would UNI
doubtedly he insisted upon. Nobody
! can answer that question with absolute
assurances. We cannot know just what
other countries would do il the propo-
si:iOn were put up to them.
However. the Democratic platform
says the Democratic party Is not OPP
posed 10 clarifying reservations ana
Gov Cox has said he will accept such
reservations. But what assurance has
Mr.. Cox that the members Of the league
would accept any reservations what
ever? He has none. But he believes
the other countries to the compact
would acquieScc.
1t is as certain as anything political
can be i'm advance of the act. that 1t
will be absolutely impossible to secure
ratification Of the league covenant as
| it now stands. 1t could hardly mar

ate. hence the impossibiity of its ever
getting the necessary two-tlirds major

Howard Taft, also of Herbert Hoover.

sincerity that there is Il better chance
to get into league or an association
of nations under the Harding plan than
under the plan that Gov. Cox has Sng-
gested or is likely to suggest and in
SiSt upon in the event of his election
To the presidency.
Elihu Root, recognized as one of the
ablcst diplomats in the country, and II
man who is in favor of Il league, made
an address in New York City Il few
evenings ago and the Associated Press
reports him as follows:
Mr.. Root said it is plain that the
issue is not between a league of nations
and no league of nations. The qucS-
ton is whether the agreement creating
the league shall be accepted absolutely
unchanged or shall be modified to meet
the American objections.

president of the United States tOdSy
had he not visited the Pacific coast dur
ing the 1916 campaign. He lost out in

because he offended one of the Republic

Harding is moi as strong today. in the
Judgment of the Frecman-I ournHl as
he was before he deserted his front

DUPONT. TOOe

Wei. well. will wonders ever cease
Here il has been reported and insisted
upon by Democrats that the DuPOntS
were against league Of nations be,
cause they wanted wars so they could
sell ammunition to the belligcrentS. and
the same partisanS have been saying
the J. =. Morgan's interests were
against Il league because wars would
give them the opportunity of making
moro money and still more money. The
senate investigating committee sitting
i'm St Louis took occasion on The 18th
inst To inquire into some of the dOingS
of the league 10 enforce peace and il
was revealed that Il. Coleman Dupont
and many others in his class were
expected to contribute. The ASSocia-
ted Press reports the following:
That the League to Enforce Peace

Farmers who are complaining about
the low price of corn and wheat arc
beginning to realize that they would
be better off if the tariff on those arti
cles had not been abolished. Ii is
reported that the big millcrS Of the
country have gone into the Canadian
market for wheat and purchased be
tween 2OO.OOO.OOO and 3O0.OOO.OOC
bushels. Under Il consistent protective
tariff law such deal would be i'm
practical. Corn, too, is being imported
from Argentina, and be il remembered
that the present tariff law admits corn
and corn meal free of duty. During
the past few years prices of farm prod
ucts have been so high that the ncccs-
sity Of tariff protection has not been
realized, but present indications are
that the farmers will be wanting an
application of the protective principle
long before the 1921 crop is produced.
They know how TO get it. 1t is Il very
simple operation. All that is required
is to elect Republican president and
congress. If Claude Porter should hap
pen to be elected senator from Iowa
that would be one vote against the
protective tariff theory.

We have often wondered why a ma
jority of Iri>hmcn coming to the United
States vote so sOlidly for the Demo
cratic party. They profess hatred OF
England because Of England's IriSl
policy, yet when they become voters il
this country they vote just as England
wants them to. England has always
been against a protective tariff, he
lieving in the policy Of Il tariff for rcvc,
nue. only. That is the Democratic
policy and vote for that policy is i,
vote that England likes. Now England
is very anxious that the league of ma
tons covenant as ratified at Versailles
shall be ratified by this country. and
the Irish over here are going to vote
for the candidate for president that
England wants TO see elected. That is
their privilege. of course, but their
attitude is somewhat surprising.

THE REAL TRUTH.

If Claude Porter and Mike Healy
are telling thee truth when they say
that the new railroad rates are based
upon fictitious values; that the roads
are valued at Sl9,0OO,00O,O0O, $1,000
900, 900 more than they are worth, who is
responsible for it? Certainly not the
law, because the law states explicitly
that the rate regulating power shall
take into consideration the actual
value of the roads. What body is it.
anyhow, that decides what shall be
fair rates? Why, it is the interstate
commerce commission. And what is
the interstate commission and who is
responsible for it? The interstate
commerce commission was created by
act Of congress in 1887. The New
York World Encyclopaedia gives the
! following facts:
THE federal act to regulate com
merce, passed by congress and APPROX
ed February +, 1887, established Il
commission of five, since increased to
nine, members. The original act, with
its amendments, applies to common
carriers Except water) including rail
roads, sleeping car companies, petrol
cum pipe lines, telephone, telegraph,
cable and express companies. The act
requires all rates to be reasonable and
just, prohibits preferential rates or
undue or unreasonable preferences or
advantages in rates or facilities; for
bids the charging of higher rate for
a shorter than for a longer haul over
the same line in the same direction
when the shorter is included in the
longer haul The commission has In
quisitOrial powers; it may prescribe
rates, rules and regulations, including
methods of keeping accounts, records
and memoranda required of the car
rier subject to the law.
The act known as the Overman or
Federal control act, approved March
u, 1918, provides that the commission
shall ascertain and certify to the
president the average annual railway
operating income to be used by the
president in making agreements for
compensation for the use of the trans
pOrtation systems of the country; that,
in case the amount of compensation
lis not adjusted, claims may be submit
ted to boards of referees appointed by
the commission which may be paid to
the carriers, that the president, in OK
ecuting the Federal control act, may
avail himself Of the advice, assistance
and cooperation of the commission,
its members and its employees; that

IF the United States minds her own
business. deals fairly and hOnOrably
with other nations, prepares herself
to protect her rights, there will be lit
tie danger Of her becoming CmbrOlled
in war. OF course there is always Il
possibility of war, but by speaking
gently and carrying big stick wars
can usually be avoided with honor
The case with Germany was an eXccp'
ton and a parallel is unlikely to occur
again for many years to come.

A large Insurance company OF BaltI
more recently completed survey OF
! the industrial. agricultural. financial
.and political condition Of the country
The states were divided into min,
groups and the ccmmny's representa-
siives in every community interviewed
men of affairs. The replies regarding
transportation conditions since the pas
sage of the railroad law were Sgnifi
cant Every group of states was OPP
posed TO government ownership of rail
roads. declared that the shortage OF
freight ears was being materially re-
duced, and that general transportation
conditions were improving.

that would yield, if the roads are well
managed, 81 to 6 per cent on their
actual value. not on their Watrrcd
value. There is absolutely no guar
antce that any road will make any
per cent at all but the commission
should try under the law to make it
possible for the roads to do a profit
able business. If any road makes
more than per cent it is required to
turn half of the excess over to the
national treasury for the creation Of a
revolving fund to be loaned to the
roads to assist them in procuring nee
cssary equipment, etc.
Now then. if the interstate commits
sion has not established proper values
the commission should be promptly re-
organized and composed Of men who
will obey the law and fulfil their
oaths. Every one Of the men cOmpOs-
ing the commission was appointed by
President Wilson and if they are
guilty of the things charged by Claude
Porter and Mike Hcaly every one OF
them ought to he impeachcd. Yet these
Democratic politicians and others like
them are going around over the state

In letter to Mr.. Taft under date
of Dee. 10. 1919, Mr.. Short asks the
former president to indorSe the work
Of the foreign press service" which he
describes as an organization of former
associates of George Creel in the hui

war, "aS additional guaranty of its

dore Marburg and the note to which il
was a reply are also part of the re-
port. Mr.. Marburg wrote to Mr.. Root
on Jan. ), 1920, saying:
Il know you feel keenly the damage
done our interests and to the interests
Of our sister nations by our delay to
ratify the Versailles treaty.
The object of this letter is not to rail
against the senate nor to lament what
is past but to express the hope which
is shared by others that you will do
everything in your power to help end
this unhappy situation"
To this Mr.. Root replied on Jan 6.
1920:
II do regret very much the delay
in ratifying the Versailles treaty but
it is quite plain to me that the treaty
never will be ratified unless the preSi-
dent is willing to permit the Demo
cratic senator's to vote for the rcserva
ton regarding Article 10, nor do l
think it ought to he ratified without an
effective reservation regarding that
article.

have to be applied if it is to be effective

treaty is at the White House Regard
