TOM MIX SAYINGS
 WORTH REMEMBERING

Tom Mix, a son of the roll ing West and a loyal friend of all outdoors, is blessed with a very level head containing a very clear brain. He thinks straight" on every subject that interests him at all. Here are a few of his sayings, which indicate plainly the sort of a man he is, and go far to explain his extraordinary success in a peculiarly strenu- ous line of professional actlvi- ty: -
 "The man who drinks is a fool. A man who has drunk and has quit has learned wis dom."
 "A man who plays cards all night is an imbeclle. He must be, because cards orlgl- mated in the mind of a jester for the amusement of an inn OGCl1C h1IlSs
 wA man who can ride a horse is accomplished, but he who knows when a horse is tired and gives that horse rest and food is a man who has many friends and is usually blessed in this world-and l think he will be in the next. A man who is kind to animals is usually a square dealer"
 ''If I were offered the Brooklyn Bridge and had the honor of ruling all those who cross it every day, 1 would turn down the job for a nice little plot and home out on the prarie a hundred miles from a railroad"
 q am no good in big city. If I sat in at big corporation meeting in a room hung with beautiful curtains and fur nished with mahogany tables and chairs, I would lose my shirt; but if those million aires would come out to my ranch where I would be sur rounded by my cattle and my horses, I could drive harder bargain than was ever driven by Rockefeller or Carnegie. "
 Tom Mix is to appear at the Jewel Theatre, tomorrow, Saturday, in his latest William Fox picture, "The Coming of the Law" This is said to be a photoplay containing more stirring stunts than ever before seen in a Mix play. Admission 45c, war tax .O5.

SEE HIGH
RATES ON FREIGHT
Predict SIS IL Increase, if
Roads Demands and Wage
Advances Are Granted.

An increase of 55k per cent must
be made in freight rates if the de-
mand of the roads for increased
freight tariffs and employes' demands
for more pay are granted and. the
whole burden placed on the freight
traffic. the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was told today by Clifford
Thorne of Chicago, I representing
shippers. e
Mr.. Thorne recommended that the
wage advances be added without fur
ther hearings to the costs, upon which
the roads now base their request for
advanced freight rates: that 5 per
cent increase be made in passenger
rates, with the balance on freight
tariffs, to care for the. present case
and that any advance occasioned ny
the wage decision be spread out
over the entire earnings of the roads
from all sources.
Heavy Burden ON Traffic.
IAN added burden of two billions OF
dollars annually, or over SO per cent

Of the United States would be over
powering," Mr.. Thorne declared. No
man could foretell the consequences!
entire Advance to freight rates will
mean an increase in the east of 60
per cent, in the west of SO per cent
and in the south Of so per cent.
"An increase of Y per cent per
passenger mile on passenger traffic.
plus an increase of 20.26 per cent on
all other traf1ic," Mr.. Thorne con-
tinued, would produce sufficient rev.
enues to take care of the present
needs of the carriers added to an in
creased wage Of one-half billion dol
lars.
"If the wage advance is $1,000
O0O, 900 and the additional amount is
placed on traffic other than passen-
ger traffic the percentage would be
20 per cent"
An advance in freight rates, Mr..
Thorne argued. will have no ap-
preciable effect on the rates the car

INDUSTRIAL DISPUTE
PLANK FOR PLATFORM
William J. Bryan Makes Detailed
Statement of Progress.

oVdtSAeuC OF ETOSTeSS.
SAN FRANCISCO. June ga COM
mission to investigate industrial
disputes is the basis of Bryan's plank
on industrial relations. A detailed
statement of his plan was issued to-
day by Mr.. Bryan as follows:
Il shall submit for the considera-
ton of the committee a very simple
plan which is identical in its general
provisions with the plan embodied In
thirty treaties with three-Quarters OF
the world and afterward made the
cornerstone of the league OF nations
Even before l suggested it for inter-
national disputes I endeavored TO
have it applied to industrial disputes.
1T contemplates a permanent board
of three members, one chosen from
classes assumed to be in sympathy
with the employer, one from the
classes supposed to be in sympathy
ed with view to finding person as
nearly impartial as possible. This
commission should have authority to
investigate an industrial dispute at
the request of either side or upon its
own initiative. In each dispute two
members would be added to the COM
mission, one chosen by each side, in
order that each side might be sure to
have a representative on the commits
sion.
"A limited time would be allowed for
investigation. The report of the COM
mission would not be binding on
either side, but would be guide to
public opinion"
