GOVERNORS FAVOR
THE REPEAL OF THE
ESCH-CUMM|N's 5 ACT
SAY GUARANTEES UNJi ST
Railroads Should be Put on the
Same Basis as Other Busi-
ness and Made to Earn Their
Own Way. They Ask for a
Substantial Reduction in
Frcights.

Des MoineS, Iowa, Oct. 19.-Re-
peal of the clauses of the Cummins-
Esch transportation act, directing the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
fix freight rates on a basis that will
give the railroads a 6 per cent return
resolution, adopted by the conference
of Middle West Governors at it's
closing session here today Guaran-
teeing the railroads a fixed return is
unwise and uneconomic, the confer
ence declared.
Resolutions We're adopted asking a
Substantial reduction in freight
rates and urging congressional action
to remove doubt as to State juris-
diction over State railroad rates and
services.
Action was unanimous ON all re-
solutions adopted, although some OF
the conferences said that they would
have preferred stronger statements.
Governor Blaine of Wisconsin, in
the discussion on the resolution con-
|denning the guarantee clause of the
Transportation act, urged that the
total repeal of the law should be de-
manded.
t'The Esch-Cummins law discour-
ages efficient and responsible man
agement, for it guarantees the car
riers a fixed return the Western
executive said. Railroad stocks are
greatly inflated and the fixed guar
antee is upon its inflated value, com
monty known as 'Wa.ered stock.
"a guarantee to private enter
prise is dangerous and vicious. ye
there is no more justification fOl
guaranteeing a return on a railroad
investment than guaranteeing th'
farmer, merchant, banker, manu-
ifacturer, professional man or woman
a return
Governor Blaine also blamed th'
extravaganza of the wartime periot
in all lines of business for the de
ipresSion now existing" and expresse'
the opinion that it would be som
time before peace and harmony pre-
vailed through the nation
"Under the -Cummins law tn
transportation companies have foun
an excuse for organizing subsidiar
companies with overcapitalized as
: sets in connection with transportatio
which results in further increasin
the burdens of rates." Governo
, Blaine said.

Chicago, Oct 2l.-The United
States railway labor board backed by
all the authority which the govern
ment can place at its disposal called
the railways of the countries and
five big unions to appear here next
week and solemnly warned the un-
ions not to strike until the board
has heard their case and report on
same.
The boards action virtually
means there will be no strike Oct. 80,
unless the unions should choose to
openly defy the government for it is
hardly probable decision will be
reached by that time
The hearing will be open to the
press and public and with more than
200 railways and approximately 80
unions involved either directly or in
directly probably will last several
days.
While the transportation act gives
the board no power to enforce tseci-
sion it is understood last weeks con-
ference between President Harding
general Daugherty, Secretary Weeks
and the interstate commerce COM
mission, placed all the departments of
the government in accord as to what
in open defiance of the labor board.

Paris, Dec. 6-For the three years
1918, 1919 and 1920 enormous profits
were realized in the French fur trade
but the rise in prices seems to have
passed its highest point this year.
A Hudson bay otter cloak whcih
cost 10000 francs in April, 1920, can
now be bought for 5000. Rabbit
skins which had reached fancy prices
have returned to the normal of before
tie war. Astraksn and skunks are
now only twice their pre-war prices
and blue and white fox from three to
four times.
Siberian sables and Peruvian chin
chillas alone continue to increase in
price, both being rare and much in
demand. A sable cloak which cost
$4,000 francs in 1894 would cost
today 100000.

Princess Nadonis
and Company Made
Fine Impression

From a musical, dramatic and his
, toric point of view the Indian concert
at the high school auditorium Mon
day night was an unusual treat for
Palatkans. A select and enthusiast
tic audience greeted Princess Nado-
mis-, the leader of the company when
she introduced herself and each of
the three other performers, Morning
Star, Wild Flower and her husband,
Chief Kanhoa, White Eagle.
The program was well balanced
and entirely interesting. 1t opened
with explanatory remarks by Prin-
cess Nadonis and a plea for better
understanding of the American In
dian. Her readings from her own
books of poems, now being published,
were rendered in a rich, vibrant voice
and interpreted with wealth of
splendidly dramatic gestures. Surely
the last poem, called "The Indian"
cannot fail to arouse sympathy for
the Indian cause in the most indif-
ferent. 1t thrilled all who heard it.
Very interesting were her renditions
of various tribal melodies.
A singer of fine ability and rare
personal charm is Miss Maria Morn
ing Star of the Aztec tribes. Her
selections embraced groups of Cad
man, Thurlow Lieurance and several
purely Indian melodies. Not the
least attractive was a song in her
native Spanish tongue Parting"
She possesses lyric soprano voice Of
great sweetness and intense emotion
al appeal-the kind of voice that
plucks the heart Strings.
Miss Wild Flower of the Ottawa
tribes proved herself an especially
sympathetic accompanist. 1t is to be
regretted that her skill was greatly
handicapped by the condition of the
piano. But we heard enough to make
us wish that the best conditioned
piano possible might have been at
her disposal
Chief White Eagle provided the
real and unmistakable Indian flavor,
the story-book thrill of childhood.
His heroic proportions were enhance
ed by the ancient head-gear of eagle |
feathers and other hab;liments pecu-
liar to a chief of the blood. In his
own language we heard Indian leg
end and song, interpreted in English
by his wife Princess Nadonis. He
was joined by the women in the
Dance of the Green Corn, the Har-
vest Dance and the Powswow or
Homecoming Festival, all accompa-
MED by the weird music Of the tom
tom. The war dance, reminiscent of
tragic days in our history, caused
shudders of excitement. Chief
White Eagle is not only foot-hght
warrior, but one who can justly
claim to have been in the thick of the
fight in our recent world war. His
were the only messengers sent into
No-Man's-Land which could not be
