GOOD RAIL SERVICE
NOW UP TO ROADS
Securities Owners Say Congress
and I. c. c. Have Done
Their Part.

New York, Aug. THE executive
committee of the National Association
ot Owners Of Railroad Securities, on
which s. Davies Warield is president,
met Thursday To consider the recent in
crease IN rates which the railroads have
been allowed There has been consider
able conjecture as to the views of tbs or
pani xatlon on this issue, as 10 played
such an active part in bringing about
the result. President Wariield has been
asked 10 obtain some statement OF the
orpangations views and called the COM
mittce, together for the purpose. The
statement says
The associations position tha. the
Interstate Commerce Commission alone
was the proper body Co deal with the
question ~ rates and not newly ap-
pointed political board of transporta-
ton has been fully justified. Apart from
the inexpedIenCy of its creation, such n

The new rates will not mean a large

mission has acted upon, has been pro-

when presenting to the committees
of Congress the reasons for the funda-
mental ratemaking features advocated
by this association it contendcd that the
adjustment of rates would largely be-
come automatic. The commissions de-
cision evidences this Interpretation of
the act The laborious rate hearings
held were not essential to the establish
ment of the case of the railroads. Con-
grcss had established il. Congress, by
automatic process having prescribed with
in certain bounds the amount that rates
should yield chargeable to the shipper,
the distribution of such rates was largely
to become matter for decision directly
between the shippers and the railroads,
subject to final decision by the COM
mission The methods adopted by the
commission under the act therefore make
ratemaking in the future practically an
automatic procedure.
"An erroneous impression prevails IN
some quarters that rates have been
made that will yield 6 per cent on the
value of the railroad property of each
carrier. A majority of the railroads of
the country under the rates named will
not earn & per cent either individually
or on the fair aggregate value of their
respective properties; it will be less than
5l2 per cent. This is on property value,
not ON securities or dividends on stocks,

Delaware Senate Passes Suffrage
 Amendment Bill

DOVER. Delaware. May 5. - The resolution to ratify the proposed fed eral woman suffrage amendmcm, which had been in committee since March "A, was adopted by the senate today upon the reassembling of the state legislature after a recess of two weeks. The vote was II to 6.
 IL is proposed to send the resolu- tion to the house tomorrow w-cre speedy action on it is expected Al though the lower branch of the legis- lature defeated a similar resolution on April 1, by vote of 22 to g, suffrage leaders claim to have increased their strength sufficiently to assure the con- currence of the house in the senate measure.
 Anti-sutfragists deny this and de- clare sentiment in the house against ratification is as strong as ever and that the measure surely will be de- feated by that body.
