WHO PAYS THE FREIGHT?

]. II. Mercer. Kansas livestock COM
missioner, on behalf of the livestock
interests of Kansas, voices opposition
to the proposed advance in freight
rates on the ground that the industry
he represents cannot stand the added
burden. Also he declares that higher
rates will expand the vicious circle of
higher wages and h'gher living costs.
His first contention may be disposed
OF by citing the fact that all freight
charges are paid by the ultimate con-
sumner and not by the shipper. IT,
therefore, rates shall be uniform, Kan
sas shippers will be no worse off than
those elsewhere. The things that pri-
mary shippers have to sell the public
must have and must pay for them the
price asked. which includes the
freight.
Mr.. Mercer would have the govern
ment donate to the railroads the extra
money they need. 1t is difficult to
see where this method would be an
improvement over the plan of increas-
ing freight rates. 1t would be neces-
sary to raise the money thru taxes, and
these, like the increased freight rates,
would be paid by the ultimate con-
sumner and the stockraiser as well.
The livestock commissioners sug-
gestion that the railroads are not do
ing theF best with what they have
may have some foundation in fact but
Withholding from them the advance in
rates for which they are asking is not
likely to cause them to do better. In
fact the whole transportation situation
has the appearance of a game of
'freeze-out, in which the cards are
stacked against the public. The bust
ness of the country is suffering and
prices remain high while railroads
and shippers spar for an advantage.
An advance in passenger rates, as
suggested by Mr.. Mercer. probably
would result in a reduction rather
than in an increase in railroad reve-
nues. The roads are having a hard
time in competing with the automo-
biles, even at existing rates.

A smaller tonnage OF steel rails was
consumed in the United States in 1919
than during any similar period in more
than twenty years. Considering the
expansion of the transportation sys-
TENS of the country during the past
two decades it is probable that the 1919
consumption relatively was the lowest
barring one or two years in all history
since steel rails came into common
use. These are the conclusions to be
drawn from the official figures of rail
production for the year 1919 which
have just been issued. says the Iron
Trade Review. The railroads during
the period of government control were
exceedingly poor buyers of rails and
other forms of iron and steel. The to-
tai purchases of rails of the railroad
administration in 1919 in fact amount
ed to only a few hundred thousand
tons. the remainder of the tonnage
consumed having come from deliveries
against contracts placed by the roads
with the mills while the former were

sirl4onious attitude OF the railroad ad-

The decision of party leaders on
both sides to make the League of Ma
tons the paramount issue of the cam
psign looks like an attempt to throw
dust in the eyes of the voters in order
that they may be blinded to the real
problems that confront the country.
Probably there is no public question
in which the people feel so little per-
sonal interest as the peace treaty.
They are thinking more about the cost
OF living and the burden of taxation
and they want to know if these are to
be reduced and il so, how. The cam
paign orator who attempts to prove
that his party is worthy of the conf
dence of the voters on the strength of
that party's position on the treaty will
have a hard time. The party that
frames a platform and nominatss a
man that will appeal to the great mass
OF independent voters Will stand the
best chance/of success this year. There
is not even party union on the ques-
ton of the League of Nations. This
was shown by the votes in the senate.
The general public would like to be
permitted to forget the treaty.

JUST FOLKS
CALLING THE DOCTOR.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.


marvel at the courage Of the folks in days
gone by,
They used to see their loved ones i'll and
never thought they'd die:
They'd hear them coughing thru the night
and hear them moan in pain.
And sweetly tell them with a smile they d
soon be we'll again:
1t had to be desperate case with little
chance to win
Before they'd think that ii was time to call
the do-tor in.
Whenever the wise physician got a call to
someone's bed.
He'd count 1t lucky not find his patient
almost dead;
He knew ii was an urgent call-he faced
ease for sure
Which home-brewcd herbs and poultices
possessed no power to cure:
For when folks called the doctor in. in
that glad long ago,
Twas safe to bet the patients tide of life
was ebbing low.
1t may be that 1 FREE too much and over
worry, too.
But ! can't wait for doctors as the old
folks used to de.
Just let fever show itself. and let n
youngster sigh.
And l don't rest until I have the doctor
standing by:
1t may be just a stomach ache but don't
care for that
l want the best physician I can get right
off the bat.
