The railways appear to be fairly
well satisfied with the rate increases
authorized by the interstate commerce
commission, and announce that they
are preparing 10 spend S700,0O0,000
this year for Improvements and bet
terments. The increases granted are,
in freight rates, an average Of 35A
per cent for the entire country; for
passenger, excess baggage and milk
rates. 20 per cent; for Pullman rates,
80 per cent. 1t is estimated the in
crease in earnings will amount to ST.
$50. 100000. and that the net operat-
ing income of the roads will now be
81 34. 000. 0O0-about S100, 100000 less
than the roads asked.
As to the effect on the general pub
lie, there is difference of opinion.
Some experts figure that the increased
rates will mean the adding of more
than 81 a day to the cost of living Of
the average family. Others, equally
expert. insist that the resulting better
transportation and higher rate of pro-
duction will bring lower prices.
After a trial lasting many weeks,
a jury in Chicago convicted William

and 10 other members of that party.
of sedition, and all of them were sen
fenced to Imprisonment. In addition
Lloyd was fined $1,000 and two others
$1,000 each. Throughout the country
general satisfaction was felt in this
result of a case that was considered
~ of the most important eve held in
an American court. AS Special Prose
cutor Comerford expressed it: "The
verdict convicts the movement as well
as the men behind it, and establishes
a precedent which makes criminal
the meeting of men for the purpose of
advocating the overthrow of the gov
eminent"
Something like $4,000 Democrats
gathered in Dayton, O., Saturday to
hear Governor Cox told formally that
he is the party's nominee for the pres
idency. The notification ceremonies
took place in the Montgomery county
fair grounds where a temporary
amphitheater was erected. They were
preceded by a parade in which about
10000 persons took part. The town
was handsomely decorated and the
residents opened their homes to the
visitors.
In his speech of acceptance Cover
nor Cox declared that the United
States should enter the League of Ma
lions, Immediately ratify the peace
treaty and state our Interpretation of
the covenant as a matter of good faith
and as a %precaution against misunder-
standing in the future; the interpreta-
ton clearly to show that the league
is not an alliance and that its basic
purpose is peace and not controversy.
On the matter of prohibition he said
that any candidate for the presidency
who says he does not intend to en-
force the law is more unworthy than
the law violator. He declared he ia
vored the repeal of war taxes and the
reduction of federal taxation, and sug-
gested a volume of business tax in
stead of the excess profits tax. In
dealing with other issues he followed
along the lines of the San Francisco
platform.
