WILSON WILL VETO
KNOX RESOLUTION
OFFICIAL WORD FROM WHITE
HOUSE SAYS PEACE PLAN IS
NOT ACCEPTABLE TO PRESI.
DENT-WILL MAKE QUESTION
CAMPAIGN ISSUE THIS FALL

Washington, May 4.-President
Wilson has definitely decided to veto
the Knox resolution terminating the
war with Germany and austria.
This was learned officially at the
White House Tuesday.
The President will probably send
the treaty of Versailles back to the
Senate with his veto message.
Democratic leaders made a sud-
den change last night in their plans
for action on the Knox peace reso-
iution when it is called up in the
Senate Wednesday.
Instead of instituting a filibuster
to delay action indefinitely, admins
tration supporters will make no Sc
rious effort to prevent passage. With
this change it is believed the resolu-
ton can be passed with very little
delay. ..
- Senator Underwood intimated it is
the Presidents wish to have the
resolution passed. The President is
entirely willing, it is said, to face
the responsibility of vetoing.
The effect of this will be to per-
nit the President to make an issue
ir the campaign of the peace reso-
luton as against the treaty. 1t is
understood he is confident of the
result if the issue is presented to the
voters in this form.
The Presidents followers in the
Senate believe his attitude will tend
to simplify the treaty issue in the
campaign, inasmuch as passage of
the resolution by the Republicans
will practically commit the party to
straightout opposition to the treaty
and the league of nations and de-
stroy all chance of the Republicans
falling back upon an issue of the
treaty with reservations.

RAILWAYS WANT
HIGHER RATES
MUCH MONEY WILL BE NEED
ED TO CARRY ON WORK
FREIGHT MAY GO UP-PRO-
POSED TO LEAVE PASSENGER
TARIFF AT PRESENT LEVEL

Washington, May 4.-The nations
railroads will need an additional ST.
100000 to ring their income. to
the 6 per cent. basis provided in the
transportation act.
Through the Association of Rail-
way executives the roads proposed
to the interstate commerce commits
sion today that this sum be realized
through increased freight charges,
leaving the passenger rates at the
present level.
The advances in freight rates pro-
posed were:
Eastern roads 30.4 per cent to
yield an advance in all revenues of
21.1 per cent Of S544,0O0.Ooo.
Southern roads 800 per cent to
provide a 20.7 per cent larger reve-
nue..
Western roads 23.9 per cent to ad-
vance all revenues II per cent.
Presentation Of the figures marked
the formal opening of the railroad
rate cases. While detailed state
mems submitted to the commission
today covered only the Eastern lines,
estimates of the needed increase of
the Western and Southern groups ac-
companied the initial suggestions up
in which the commission is to de-
termine an entire new rate structure.
The rate figures of the Eastern
lines embracing 144 systems, termi-
nal and switching companies, were
laid before the commission by
Daniel Willard, president Of the
Baltimore and Ohio and chairman of
the executive rate committee for the
Eastern territory. Similar statements
showing the requirments of the Wes-
tern and Southern carriers will be
supplied the commission in a few
days. The analysis of conditions, the
relationship of operating expenses
and revenues and the questions of
refinancing are largely the same in
each case and the representations
of the Eastern lines were said to in
dicate the questions with which the
commission will deal in establishing
the Western and Southern rates.
Net income of all of the country's
railroads fell from $1,O56, 100000
in 1916 to $51O,OOO,OOO last year,
the railroads claim, while their in
vestment was increased more than
$4,000, 100000. These figures were
given to serve as a basis from which
the commission could work in de-
.veloping scale of rates to meet the
government guaranty.
An estimated valuation of $2O,-
616,000,000 was placed on the trans
portation system of the country by
Mr.. Willard. While there has been an
increase in operating expenses of
99.1 per cent since 1916 the roads
basis of revenues for the same period
has been increased only 36.37 per
cent. the executives statement de-
clared and the operating expenses of
the lines now are SO per cent. of the
revenues against 68 per cent n 1916.
