FIRST SURVEY OF
FREIGHT CARsE|vD

tRv Associated Press to The Banner1
CHICAGO, Sept. 1S-The first sur
[vey of freight cars ever taken by the
trainers of a state has just been COM
pleted through the Illinois Agricul-
tural Association, Secretary d. U.
Thompson announced today. On the
basis of this survey he said Illinois
farmers did not believe there was
car shortage. The trouble with trans
portation he characterized as "immo-
bility." and he declared the farmers
meant to find out whose fault 1t was.
Secretary Thompson said the AS
sociatiOn undertook it's census after
receiving reports from farmers over
the state that they saw many cars
standing idle on country tracks.
members of the association made
daily records of the car initials and
numbers of all cars at 494 stations To-
Gated in 46 different counties for sew
en- consecutive days." the state farm
bureau executive said. "Of these 494
stations, 146 or 29.5 per cent, report
ed some of the same cars on tracks
the last day of the count as were on
the tracks the first day of the count.
"At all stations, 1924 cars were list
ed the first day and Of these cars, 03S
out of 1924 cars had not been moved
from the country point for seven con-
secutive days. This is just little
over 10 per cent of the cars at such
points.
"No count was made in Chicago. In
several other large yards the associa-
tion enumerators were elected from
the yards by railroad officials.
'In Grundy County nine stations are
reported. Four of these showed
complete clearance, whereas the 9TH
err five showed that of a total Of Asa
cars reported the first day 236 identi-
cal cars were still ON track seven
days later.
mine operators say they were fore
ed to idleness many days each week
leading to the strike of the miners
which recently tied up the mines just
when the farmers were needing coal
for thershing. At this same time be-
fore the strike in Christian county, at
Clarksdale and at Willeys, two trains
of coal cars totaling So cars were re-
ported empty at both first and last
days of the count.
"At Bristol, Kendall county, thirty
eight cars were unmoved during the
entire week. At Dakota, Stephenson
county, twenty loaded box cars stood
on track all of the seven days.
'If we may take the total number
of freight cars of the country on De-
cember 81, 1918, as basis for COM
putation, and consider that the per-
centage of immobility Of cars is as
great in Chicago, Toledo, and New
York as in country points like Clarks-
dale, Fidelity and Low Point, 1t is
very moderate when we say that the
total numbr Of new cars which the
railroads say they need to meet the
transportation requirements of the
present moment, is not patch to the
total of immobile cars now idling by
the weeks and months in terminal
yards and side tracks at country
points.
'This survey shows pretty clearly
to the farmers of Illinois the excuse
of car shortage is largely camouflage
given to cover up some real, deeper
reason for the present transporta-
tion ,inefficiency. And to search for
that reason will be the next job Of
the farmers business organization"

REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP

The Republican leaders in Congress
and the I. w. w. leaders have COM
mon policy in one respect, says the
New York World. Both are engaged
in promoting popular discomfort FOR
their own peculiar purpose. Both are
boring from within whenever an OPP
portunity presents. itself.
The I. W. W. leaders are concerned
with the manufacture of economic
discomfort in order to break down
the regular labor organizations and
gain control of industry. The Re-
publican leaders are concerned with
the political discomfort in order to
break down the Wilson administra-
zion and gain control of the govern
ment, The l. w. w, leaders know
that economic unrest usually reacts
against the conservative labor or
CARNATIONS. The Republican leaders
know that political unrest always re-
acts against the administration in
power.
No attempt has been made in Con-
gress TO enact reconstruction legs-

1t is here you find your prece-
dents ! know. you gentlemen; / un-
derstand your methods. You will put
some cushions i'm this bill. You will
put something in there that taxes to
a slight degree, perhaps, tobacco, or
the stock exchanges in onr cities, or
you may make a slight increase in
some portion of the income tax. But
you are going to yield to the demands
Of the Wall street, You are going to
yield to the demands of the Million
aire, war profiteers of this country,
and impose the sales tax they want
imposed, because they think that
when imposed once we win never be
able to get rid of it, because they
want to escape some portion of the
taxes on the immense incomes they
are enjoying at the present time. A
tax on sales means an increase in the
cost of living. A tax on sales such
as you propose, if it is tax on
turnovers, means an increase in the
cost Of living Of 25 per cent"

G. O. P. Tax Plans

Representative Henry ?. Rainey,
of Illinois, second ranking. Democrat
on the Ways and Means committee,
has delivered in the House one Of the
strongest speeches heard in months,
attacking partisan consideration of
the soldier bonus question
Accusing Republican members of
the committee Of excluding Demo-
cratic members while framing the bill,
Representative Rainey showed that
as now drawn, the bill constitutes
rather bid for soldier votes than an
attempt to deal comprehensively and
alphabetically with the bonus ques-
ton and the program Of relief asked
by the American Legion. Democrats
of the committee, Mr. Rainey showed,
want to consider the four-fold propo-
sition presented by the soldiers, and
to raise the bonus cost by levying
taxes on excess war profits, The
Republicans, he pointed out, propose
a cash bonus and would levy con-
sumption and sales tax, hitting every
home in the land, to pay for the
bonus.
In discussing the bill, Represen-
tative Rainey turned to the RepubG-
can members, and said: 'Let me tell
you what you have done: If we are
to believe the statements you have
given out to the morning papers, you
propose to collect this tax, this bonus,
by resorting to general sales tax,
the character of tax which has not
been extensively imposed in the world
since the feudal ages, the character
of tax which no nation in the world
attempts to any degree to impose at
the present time, except unfortunate
misgoverned Mexico and the small
