ton affecting the railway strike stu.
alton was taken Monday when the
interstate commerce commission or
dered freight rate reductions on
grains, grain products and hay in the
territory etween the Mississippi river
and the Pacific coast.
The commissions decision, in case
brought by 20 western states and a
number of national ad farm organiza-
tions, did not deal directly with the
impending strike, but was considered
significant in it's presentation OF pros
pective future reductions of railroad
operating expenses as basis for its
rate making activities.
Cut Half Of 1920 Increase.
The rate reduction is the most
sweeping issued by the commission in
several years and on the commodities
named, which constitute heavy per
centage of railroad traffic throughout
western territory, amounts to one-hal1
the increases allowed in the western
group territory, 25 per cent in the
mountain-Pacific group, and SO 4 pei
cent between divisions. The commits
sion also ordered rates on coarse
grains, including corn, oats and others
fixed at 10 per cent below the level
on wheat in the new schedule, while
rates on grain products are to be al
tered to fit the new basis. Railroads
were ordered to have the new seized
ules ready by November 20 at the

HAYNES DELAYS
PLAN Of MAKING
DRY ALLOTMENTS
State Prohibition Directors
Must Wait for Funds Until
Budget Is Reduced.
BY International News Service.

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
has postponed his plan Of making
allotments of funds TO the different
State prohibition directors until the
budget officer OF the Treasury com.
rletes the task OF reducing the pro.
hibition items to a basis of abso-
lutte essentials.
Plans are going forward rapidly.
however, for completing the reorgan-
zation OF the State organizations
and of bringing the field forces
up to the strength maintained prior
to July l. In many States the
staffs Of prohibition agents are as
strong in numbers as formerly. In
some States which have set up
their own enforcement units under
State prohibition laws, effective or.
ganizations have been brought into
the field to cooperate with the Fed.
eral Authorities.
1t Is not probable that Commits.
sioner Ila ynes will sanction an elab.
crate spending program until he
knows more definitely the attitude
of the Budget Bureau, which soon
is to pass upon the actual needs Of
the enforcement bureau for the fis.
cal year. Although Congress appro-
priated s7,500,000 for the current
year, that sum will be greatly re.
duced by the Instructions Of Di-
rector OF the Budget Dawes that ex-
penses must be lowered.

c O.P.LEADERS TO
PUSH REVENUE AID
AHEAD OF TARIFF
Presidents Support Sought in
Spurring Congress to Speed
Tax Reform Bill.
By j. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Service.

With the country's business inter
ests pounding hard at both the Ad-
ministration and Congress for early
relief from taxation, Republican lead
ers are working strenuously today to
insure the enactment Of a new rev.
enue law before the final passage Of
the permanent tariff bill.
Those Of them who have urged from
the outset Of the present extra
ordinary session that tax revision
ought to precede tariff tinkering. pro-
fessed confidence that the President
will follow their suggestion that he
take decided stand for taxation
first in his promised message to
Congress on the soldiers bonus bill
They declared they mad received
positive assurances from the Presi.
dent In his talks with them that he
favored their program to have the
Senate supplant the permanent tariff
bill with the new revenue measure
after the House has passed both.
But they are urging the President
to go further. and inform Congress
openly and defiantly in his message
country's business and finarcia situa-
tion demand that tax revision be
pushed to a speedy and early con-
clusion.
Even II the President does not COM
nit himself publicly to such a course.
they predicted that a way would be
found eventually for the Senate to
sidetrack the tariff for taxation de-
spite the legislative obstacles which
must be surmounted before this can
be done.
They admitted that the outcome of
the situation may hinge upon the
speed with which the House Ways
and Means Committee can write and
the House can pass the new revenue
bill. But they find encouragement in
the decision of House Republican
leaders to force the passage in the
lower chamber OF the permanent tar
iff bill on July 81. which. they point
ed out, will permit the House Com
mittee to settle down TO tax revision
during the last week Of this month.
Some House Republican leaders
expressed doubt, however. II the rev.
cnue bill can be disposed of by the
House before the middle OF Septem.

find II extremely difficult to substi.

dicted that the party whip" will

Gargantuap Frog Is
Too Shrewd For
Pa. Hunters

READING, Pa, July 11.-With
the opening of the frog season on
July l, Berks frog hunters have
renewed their rivalry of years past
in efforts to capture "Old Dad"
the tabled monster Of the dams,
and marshes, the biggest frog
that ever grew in Berks. =.
"Old Dad" was first reported
about twenty years ago. and
stories about him indicate that he
has travelled extensively in his
time. According to all accounts. he
weighs as much, judging by his
appearance, as q good-sized chick
en-. He has a voice that booms
like bass saxophone at night. and
numerous farmers have said that
he "moos" like a COW. More than
one calf has jumped to a watery
grave in a dam at night, thinking
its mother was "mooing" for 1t.
Reported at Pleasantvills. in a
fishing stream, one year, "Old
Dad" has been reported at Gibral-
tar, in the old canal, the next sea-
son. He has also been seen at
Gouglersville. in a dam much fire.
