COMING SOON

A decision as 10 what freight rate
shall be charged in the future on
coal shipped to FL Paso from the
mines Of New Mexico probably will
be made within a few days by the
interstate commerce omission. 81
was announced at noon Saturday by
William C.. Barnes. freight traffic
manager OF the III Paso & Southwest
ern railroad AR Barnes made his
announcement at the luncheon TO
which coal users. coal dealers and
railroad men had been called BY
mayor Charles Davis and c. N Bas-
sett. president OF the chaEber Of
commerce, to consider what should
be done 10 save the city approXi-
mately $4,000 on its coal bin this
winter.
Mr.. Barnes said he had received
notice from the interstate commerce
commission notifying him that the
chamber Of commerce and the South
western Portland Cement company
had filed protests against a recent
increase in coal freight rates OF 10
percent by the Ell Paso G. Southwest
ern, and asking the railroad company
for an explanation OF its increase.
This explanation. Mr. Barnes said. had
gone forward and he expects either
settlement Of the controversy or
notice Of hearing in the near fu-
ture.
The 100 percent increase, it had
previously been stated by F. c.
Tockle. traffic man for the chamber
Of commerce, is to become effective
Nov. unless suspended This in
crease, the petition says was made 20
equalize the rate with that Of the
Santa F'e which recently increased its
rates IS per cent instead OF IS per-
cent as authorized by the interstate
commerce commission
This diverted most Of the traffic
from the santa E'e TO the T. T. & s.

made against the Santa Fe's rate as
long as a % percent rate was en-
joved. IL was stated that fully So per-
cent Of El Paso's coal supply origi-
mated west fthe main line OF the
santa Fe and thus is entitled 70 the
lower rate.
The situation was explained BY Mr.

Authorized Drives" for Charity
and Community Purposes
By BILL PRICE.

The suggestion that Washington should have a COM

headway that it is taken for granted plan Of sort

largest contributors to "drives" The WELT odo who
charaby and phlanthropica inclined and who subscribe
thousands of dollars to Washington institutions and organi
cations every year next most concerned in knowing
something about where their contributions going The
Washington public whole is liberal in these matters;
but has lately been growing indifferent.
Unless definite steps taken, the feeling of resent
ment to many "drves may go too far and result in
failure to properly support that deserving.
There already evidences that the OVERRIDING of
drives" has produced unjust lukewamness to needs Of
institutions which serve the public faithfully and loyalty
With central organization, recognized by the entire
city, in charge it ought to be possible to determine upon
yearly budget of chartesthe raising of fixed Of
money for distribution where undenaby needed This
organizations to their probable yearly needs carefully
surveying the entire field.
The necessary funds going into the community chest
could be raised in three four nstaments during the
year, and if unexpected demands should arise the
mttee could authorize special subscriptions to be taken
There is unquestionably considerable imposition upon
generous people in the spshod methods of the present
Funds sometimes raised in the of charity human

and handled to suit few 1t is haphazard way of doing
things.
If the budget plan has weak spots it, then the next best
step might be to have central body which will investigate
all claims issue authority for the solicitation of funds
intended for disbursement for the good of the public This
would not interfere with Individual charities private
