FREIGHT RATES AND THE
GARNER

(From The Clarkehura TeIegram)
The contention that high freight
rates do not have an adverse effect
upon the volume Of freight Is haV-
ing hard time Of it in the report
of a survey just completed by the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation.
The report cites hundreds of sDe-
cific instances where the freight
tariff on products shipped from
Ohio farms has amounted to as
much as the prices received and in
some cases even more. Some of the
typical instances are as follows
"a Coshocton farmer shipped fif-
ty lambs to Pittsburgh, and because
of high freight rates and handling
charges, he received $40 for them.
I'm Gallia county, 5000 pounds of
tobacco were thrown on the field
and used as fertilizer because of
high freight rates.
"a car of hay was shipped from
Licking county to Carter county,
Tennessee, and the hay brought
SIP, the freight and war tax amour
ted to s22110.
Sneep 1elt the CUlSlSHor III ueDI
for the freight and commission, in
shipment from Selma to Cleve-
land
Noble county farmers complain
that only the best sheep bring
enough to pay the freight rates. A
Wood county farmer says that To-
cal quotations for hay are $40 and
the freight to market is Sill.
Much Of last years hay still is
in barns in Clermont county, be-
cause the freight to Cincinnati is
too high to move it."
The survey was taken for use OF
the congressional joint commission
appointed to inquire into agricul-
tural conditions. The commission
has been holding hearings at var
ious places throughout the country.
Judging from the information ad-
duced by the Ohio Farm Bureau
Martinsburg journal. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1920-1977, 1921-07-30

the official announcements from
time to time, Is the time which
must necessarily be consumed in
giving each of the sites proposed
that thorough examination which
should be necessary. The state is
building a capitol that is expected
to last for long time 1t is import
ant that everything be looked into
beforehand than after. A delay OF
a few months or even year in the
erection OF building that is TO
stand for hundred or several
hundred years does not matter
much.
When, therefore, the Parkersourg
News says that Governor Morgan
and other members OF the c@Hf9l
commission will SAL. -.~s Inc peo-
ple's interest and locate the site OF
the new capitol building where it
will be most advantageous to
the greatest number Of the people
and to the best advantage to the
state departments" 1t is speaking
with what sounds like prophecy.
Here where we are closest to the
workings of the commission, where
there have been opportunity to OBJ
serve its methods at close range,
there is complete confidence that
what the commission will do will
be done with an eye single to the
state, and absolutely free from any
extraheous influence Of any kind,
and least OF all by real estate boost
ers
A capitol location might possibly
be conceived which would inture
some persons and help others. This
can not be avoided. One man testi-
fed before the commission that he
would be financially interested no
matter which of the sites proposed
were adopted. He owns property IN
all parts OF Charleston that's all.
But it is quite certain that the de-
cision OF the commission will be
made solely on the ground OF what
it considers best for the state, let
the other consequences be what they
may or regardless of who is lndl-
rectly favored or not favored.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

There is much discussion and some
litigation in Clarksburg as regards
the publication OF financial state
ments of the city, the decision of
the supreme court being that such
statements must be published Re-
gardless of the court decision, it
would seem wise from the stand
point Of keeping the taxpayers in
formed to publish the accounts and
show just how the finances stand
not only in Clarksburg but in ey-
cry political unit. Nine out Of every
ten taxpayers will not go to the
trouble to go to an Office and ask
70 see the books, but they will read
with interest any printed state
nents; it is nothing more than
formal report by the officials to the
people whom they represent.
In view of this it seems rather
timely that the Chamber Of Com
merce should address itself TO the
financial condition of the city and
county. solely for the purpose Of as

WASHINGTON.' Oct s. - The gov.

ference at the White House between

ment:
The conference with the miners
representatives today was in sequence
OF discussions carried on last week
with the coal operators under the aus
Iices of the unemployment confer

was to determine if steps could be
taken now that would minimize the
danger of stoppage in coal production
at the expiration of the national
agreements at the end of March by a
prior undertaking to arbitrate any ul-
innate differences.

the stage line is charged with con-
tempt of court for alleged violation
of an injunction ordering it to cease
operating it's busses over highways or

Judge John j. Sweeney, who is pre-
siding over the case in the superior

October 13 to file briefs and granted
each side one day after OCTOBER II
in which to file reply briefs.

brief, it would attack the jurisdiction
of the court in the case on grounds
that the state vehicle law was uncon-
stitutional becouse of the 'informa-
tiona nd belief" phases OF the sup
porting affidavits, the alleged lack
of equity in the original suit where
in the state of Arizona, through the
attorney general, obtained an iniunc-
tion restraining the defendant from
operating cars for hire, and on the
question of fact as to whether acts
cited against the defendant since the

Play No More in
Present Series

NEW YORK, Oct. s. - Babe
Ruth, champion home run slugger,
was told by DR.. George ID. Stewart
late today that his infected left
arm. operated upon Friday must be
given at least weeks rest. This
means that the Yankees star, if
the doctors advice is needed, will
not appear in the remainder of the
world series.
Ruth's arm was injured Just
above the elbow two weeks ago
when he stole second, base in a
game with the Cleveland Indians.
After the game Friday with the
Giants, an incision was made. He
carried it in a sling when he ap-
peared in the grand stand at the
Polo grounds for today's game.
Ruth admitted that if he took the
advice OF his doctor, he would not
play again this season.
But my absence won't hurt the
Yankees" he said. 1T will only
make them fight all the harder"

CLEVELAND. O.. Oct. s. Predic
tion that there will be no general

made today by William G. Lee, pres

on his belief that ''the average labor
leader is not insane to the extent of
not rccoenizing conditions as they
now EXIT"
Asked whether he admitted the pos
sibilitv of a strike, on any one rail-
road. he replied that it was possible
but he did not admit its probability.

Joint strike ballot of the other BROTH

claiming nothing could legally be in
cluded in such a ballot according to
the Esch-Cummins law except the
wage reduction of July l, since the
labor board had not made a decision
on other subjects mentioned in the
joint ballot. Lee prepared and sub
mitted a separate ballot for the train
and yard men, The vote returned, he
said, was in excess of SS per cent in
favor of a strike, with the following
provisions:
I'VE further request that our men,
