KNUTTSCHNITT'S SIDE OF
THE RAILROAD ARGUMENT

Washington, Jlue S.-"There are
two sides to every question, and Mr..
Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific
railroad has presented in a very con-
vincing manner the railroad side of
thehitherto unquestioned policy of
providing all sorts Of competition for
the railroads and still expecting them
to operate efficiently and at profit"
says the Republican Publicity Assoc
citation, through its president, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
9'The government has adopted two
methods of limiting railroad rates;
one, that of requiring that rates be
approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and the other that Of
providing cheap transportation COM
petition on publicity improved and
maintained waterways and highways.
Hedged around by al these handicaps
and limitations and also required to
pay wages fixed by a government
board, the railroads believe them
selves to be, fguratively speaking,
between the devil and the deep blue
sea.
"Most people will not ask that the
rilroads be subjected to limitations
or regulations that they would deem
unfair if imposed upon themselves or
their business. In practically every
city, for example, municipal ordi-
nances require that street peddler
pay a license in order to make up
for the fact that he transacts his bust
ness on the public street maintained
at public expense, whereas the mer-
chant must pay rent. The govern
ment bears the expense of improving
rivers and harbors. 1t bore the ex-
pense of building the Panama Canal.
Now 1t is proposed that the railroads,
which must pay interest and divi-
dends on the capital they have in
vested, shall be required to compete
with ocean and river traffic which
pays none of the cost of improving
the rivers and harbors. The public
pays the expense of improving the
highways and keeping them in passa
BILE condition, and, as result, com
mercial automobile trucks are nov
handling large amount of short
haul traffic at prices which the rail
roads cannot meet.
at is quite likely that the mer
chant who believes the peddler SHOULD
be required to pay license for thu
privilege Of selling his goods on Thu
public thoroughfare will see SOM
reason in the argument of Mr.. Krutt
schnitt that commercial auto truck
and steamships should pay some spe
cial toll for the use of publicly main
tanned highways and waterways.

Virginia, North Carolina, Flor ida, Oklahoma and Texas) in- creased in population more rap- idly than the United States as a whole; but in the eleven western states, all but two (New Mexico and Nevada) show increases at greater rates than for the entire country. This, the census bu- reau explains, is because the westward migration which has been so distinguishing a charac- teristic of the country's growth showed pronounced decline during the last decade. Between 1900 and 1910 all of the western states increased in population at rates far in excess of the aver age for the United States, but between 1910 and 1920 only five of the western states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming increased at rates, more than double that for the nation as a whole.
 There has been no change be- tween 1910 and 1920 in rank among the leading states-New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Texas and Massachusetts but Michigan, which ranked eighth at the census of 1910, now ranks seventh, and California. which ranked twelfth in 1910, now range eighth, both these states having passed Missouri, which ranked seventh in 1910.

THE INCOME TAX.

Important changes in income tax procedure directed by Cou missioner David H. Blair are embodied in Treasury Decision effective December 18th, which provides for the prompt adjust ment of claims for refund and abatement of Federal taxes.
 Heretofore when an over assessment or over payment was disclosed by the audit of an in come tax return, the taxpayer was invited to file claim for the abatement of the overassess ment or the refund of the over payment. When received the claim was registered and filed away until reached in due course for consideration. Because of the number of such claims filed !, delay in adjustment necessarily resulted.
 After December 18th taxpay- CTS will not be advised of their privilege of filing a claim for the refund of taxes which have been paid in excess of amounts legally due, but instead will re- ceive a certificate of over assess ment and check in correction of the error or if an assessment is outstanding against the tax payer for income or excess pro fits tax, the prepayment will be applied as credit against the assessment and the balance i'm mediately refunded.
 l. cial advantage to both the tax payer and the government. It will do away with the necessity for the taxpayer filing a claim for refund and will greatly re- duce the amount of work to be done by the Bureau in the ad- iustment of claims. Taxpayers may continue to file claims for abatement and refund, but it is expected that the number of such claims filed each month will be greatly reduced.
 Efforts are being made by the Bureau to adjust within six months all claims now pending and thereafter to keep the work current.
 The Revenue Act of 1921 pro- vides that under certain condi. tions interest shall be paid upon claims from the date of the pay. ment of the tax to the date of the allowance of the claim. The new procedure should greatly reduce the amount of interest which the government must ot necessity pay upon claims for refund.

JAIL THE GUN TOTER.

One of the most important safeguards to life in the state would be the rigid enforcement of the law against the carrying of concealed weapons. Under the law no one is allowed to carry a deadly weapon, and if this was lived up to there would be less crime. Gun toterS are not carrying around their arsen- al for protection, but to start something should the occasion warrant. Even the cowboys who formerly went into the roundups with big guns strapped on gave up the habit after the law against the useage went into effect and thereafter few killings were reported on the range. Now every young fellow who steps out of doors at night is packing a big six shooter in his rear pocket. Arrests and jail sentences would break up the habit and cleanse the atmoS phere. Pros pector.

FAULTY PACKING.

So many claims for damages are being paid by railroads and express companies and SO much loss and inconvenience caused to shippers, that inspection of all packages is being made by transportation companies during November, and where defects are found the shipper will be in- formed regarding better packing
 Employees of railroads and ex- press companies may not be as careful as they should in hand ling packages, but it will pro- bably be found that much of the loss in shipments is caused by defective packinR-the use of packages not strong enough to carry the weight and strain of the contents.
 Shipments which reach their destination in bad condition are usually subject to delays in de- livery, and in many cases they are rejected altogether. The re-. suit is that the transportation company is put to heavy ex- pense in making up the loss, and the delay to the consignee is considerable.
 The object of the examination and checking of shipments is an educational one, the results of which will benefit both the tran sportation companies and the shippers. Merchandise will ar rive in better condition and de- livered with the minimum of complaint
