in Congress, our members Of the
State Legislature, and all other Of
ficials of this state having authority
or influence in connection with the
raising of these rates, be directed
and instructed to use every influ-
ence within their power to at once
bring about a reduction and relief.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
That we condemn the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the State Kali
road Commission for permitting these
unjust charges, and we call their at
tention to the fact that, if these rates
are continued in effect that they are
destroying the agricultural interests
Of this section; that they have already
or will destroy the milling and tim
Der industry of this section, with the
result that all mills will be closed and
thousands of workmen thrown out
of employment. We warn these bod
les that this fragrant violation of the
peoples rights will be production OF
great unrest on the part of the peo-
pie and will ultimately lead to dis
order. and encourage socialism, II
not anarchy.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
That this mass meeting tenders Its
sympathy and support to the protest
that is now being made Throughout the
State against the exhorbitant tele-
,hone rates recently fixed by the
Commission in this State, and that we
/ condemn the action of the two mem
bers of the Commission who voted fol-
this increase, which we believe to be
exhorbitant and unjust, and that We
approve the conduct of Commission,
err Long in going on record as op'
posed to this increase.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
That we are unable to understand WHY
the railroad and telephone corpoation:
should at this time demand an in
crease in their rates, when ever!
other business is called upon to take
its share of the losses which condi
tions have brought about. 1t is thu
opinion of this meeting that theil
greed in placing these additional
burdens on the people evidences de
sire to increase their gains and to adj
to the losses which citizens and othe
business men are taking in other line
of endeavor.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
That the Secretary of this meeting
be instructed to forward to the prop
err officials of the State and Fedora
Government, and to the Railroad
above named, copies of these Reso
buttons, in order that they may b
fully advised of the indignation fel
: by every citizen affected by their in
,, creased rates.

HE LOUISIANA RAILROAD
COMMISSION
THE

In another column of this issue
appears a resolution adopted by
Mass Meeting hell in Talluiah last
"Wednesday relative to the recent
exhoftitant raise in the freight rates.
In one part Of the resolution it Is
stated that these rates were heaped
upon US without notice, consideration
Tor. consultation. Theoretically, this
lis not correct, but practically, it Is
true and in this way:
It is true that before these rates
Pr~ere ordered by the Railroad Com
mission, date for a hearing was set
before which both sides-the people
land the railroads-could present ar
1eument and evidence. The railroads
maintain traffic departments, looked
5after by highly paid traffic experts
and the legal side taken care of by
highly trained and highly paid traffic
liawyers. In order to intelligently ar
igue q case at one of these hearings,
the party or parties fighting the rates
must hire traffic experts and traffic
lawyers, both. of which are very scarce
land reqaire big pay. This is very i'm
practical for individuals to do, if not
Impossible.
LIN the same way if merchant in
&Tallulah were to find that a rate
Ifrom Tailulah on a certain article to
|points equidistant from Tallulah were
rot the same, and desired to have
the Railroad Commission adjust it,
HE would have to hire traffic at
}torney and get up all the data rela-
tive to that rate, and have the Rail
road Commission set hearing where

IN This Is the position taken by the
lLouisiana Railroad Commission, anC
1--WE are under the impression tina
they are functioning in the manner
p4the law intended them to do.
Isl Now in Mississippi, it is not thi
kway. When shipper finds gross in

ports it to the Commission in thi
manner: "The rate on such an articl
from this place to one place is 81

U. 5. DELEGATES OPPOSE
4 SUBMARINE PROPOSALS
Hope of Reaching Complete
Agreement on Armaments
Appears Doubtful

Washington, Dec. 81, (By Carl D.
Groat) Tho American delegation
opposes granting France a top-heavy
allotment of submarines or other
auxiliary crafts and will also reject
Britain's plea for abolition Of sub
marines. The British and French wer.
proceeding with a plan for pressing
their desires on these points.
Hope of reaching complete agree
ment on limitation of naval arma-
ments now appears extremely doubt
full! The only obstacles remaining is
the French demand for "a big allot-
ment and the British demand that
submarines be abolished, but con-
siderable discussion on these points
is expected. 3gsgs&%'
The French are reported to want
between $4,000 and 10000 tons Of
submarines. The French themselves
had their Instructions, except to say
they would write their own ticket
regardless Of the statement made by
other nations. The French allotment
under the japanese plan would be
81 500 tons Of submarines and $780,.
500 tons Of crdfsers and destroyers.
