CUM|N|NS To URGE
MERGER Of ROADS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Congress
will be asked to order the country's
railroads to consolidate into a few
systems, if they will not voluntarily
merge under the plan being worked
out by the interstate commerce COM
mission, Senator Cummins. Iowa, said
today.
Compulsory consolidation is an
other of the steps contemplated by
Mr.. Cummins in the revamping Of
the entire Esch, Cummins railroad
law to put teeth" in it.
81 will revive the question OF
compulsory consolidation just as
soon as there appears to be a good
chance of getting favorable action on
it" said Mr.. Cummins today. 1T is
obvious we can never have the prOp9a'
sort of railroad regulation until we
have consolidation into few impact
systems. so that rates may be intel
l1gently made.
''Under the present situation the
Interstate commerce commission m
it's efforts to determine what is a
fair and just rate for everybody, sim
ply has to go cropping blindly and
decide on some rate or other. 1t is
impossible to fix q rate upon the
basis of knowledge that it will be
fair to all alike.
Ii the TOduS were III
to small number of systems, 1t
would be entirely possible, in my
opinion, to make rates which would
result in virtually equivalent returns
to all railroads alike. Now the rate
that would bring one road return
of 20 per cent might force another
road to ask for a receiver"
Failure of congress to put compul-
sorry consolidation into the law has
always been regretted by Mr.. Gym
Minis. It was provided for in his
original draft of the bill but was
later taken out, and the voluntary
consolidation now being worked to-
wards by the interstate commerce
commission was substituted.
Mr.. Cummins isn't very sanguine
about voluntary consultations. The
best plan that can be devised would
always be objected to and held up
by some one road. he pointed out. He
will take no action until the com
mission has ended hearings on the
Ripley on consolidation, recently
made public. Those hearings, Mr..
Cummins believes, will clearly reveal
why voluntary consolidation would
fail and why congress must force
the railroads to join for their own
and the public's best interests.

j. s. CROP BUREAU
SEWERS W[THSTATE

The federal crop reporting service
in Georgia will henceforth be con-
Quoted as an Independent agency
without cooperation with the state
department Of agriculture, according
to announcement made by John S.
Dennee, head of the federal bureau
Of crop estimates for this state. For
the past two and one-half years the
federal crop reportinf service has
been operated in conjunction with
the state department of agriculture,
although federal officials have been
in charge. This cooperation is now
at an end.
Failure of the general assembly
of 1921 to appropriate funds for the
continuance Of cooperation between
the state and federal departments is
assigned as the principal cause of
the severance. Mr.. Dennee declares
that in states where the cooperative
crop reporting service is maintained
appropriations as high as $12,500
are made by the state legislature,
whereas Georgia has never appropri-
ated more than $4,000 for this pur-
pose.
Mr.. Dennee also intimates in his
announcement that there has mot
been true cooperation" shown by
the state department of agriculture.
He declared Thursday that the state
department, under the agreement
with tks federal government, was

help to the federal crop reporting
service, but that such clerical help
as was supplied was not competent
to handle the work.

RUM RUNNER PULLS
NEW ONE ON CANTON

CANTON, Ga, Oct. About l
o'clock one morning this week while
the peacefully slumbering citizens of
Canton were suddenly awakened by
number Of pistol shots which. rang
out through the stiffness and damp
ness of the early morning air. No
special alarm was given and peace
full slumber was resumed. The why's
and wherefores" of the midnight dis
turbance were given wide circulation
early Monday morning.
AS is usual in these good old days
a whisky runner was the direct cause
of it all. County Policeman Tom Cur
It's and Acting Deputy Sheriff Ed
Kilby seized a seven-passenger auto
mobile about fifteen miles east Of
here near the line Of Cherokee and
Dawson counties Sunday night, to-
gether with two men and about 100
gallons of blockade liquor. Accord
ing to statement of the officers, Cur
tbs took one of the men in his car
and Kilby rode in the captured car
with the other man driving, and
plOCSSuou " DI4IlS IuSH, Cal duu
whisky to Canton.
The officers were successful in this
and all went well until after Kilby
stopped the captured car Immediately
in front of the county courthouse on
Main street. Immediately upon COM
ing to a stop at the courthouse, the
city marshal appeared upon the scene.
Kilby stepped from the car and asked
the marshal to keep his eye upon the
man and car as he (Kilby) walked
away just few steps. AS Kilby
had cleared the car only very few
steps, the driver stepped on the
throttle and darted away down the
street leading toward the First Bap-
fist church. 1t was then that the
officers opened fire in an effort to
puncture the tires of the disappear
ing liquor-loaded car. He drove the
car in behind the church. Whether
it was his intention to do so in order
to elude the officers it is not known,
but finding no road leading out he
was forced to stop, remaining there,
1t was stated by those living nearby,
for half an hour or more, when he
drove it out and continued on his
way. In the meantime, Mr.. Curtis,
believing that the whisky runner hao
headed toward Atlanta, proceeded in
what he thought hot pursuit After
driving several miles Curtis met a
car coming toward Canton and when
he inquired of the driver if he had
met a car going in the direction Of
Atlanta was informed that he had
not. Whereupon Curtis returned to
Canton, and after making search
through other streets of Canton, gave
up the chase. 1t was after the chase
had been abandoned and the officers
had gone to their homes that the dar-
Ing whisky runner again came into
the open and made his, final dash for
liberty. The tactics employed proved
the most spectacular and daring of
any" employed by any one in this
section since prohibition became eff
fective.
The other man was placed in the
county Jail. Thus it is that this man,
