, put upon the shipper? Why should
not war shipping be looked upon
as part of the emergency prepare
ton for war. and be paid for as all
the other emergency costs of the
war were paid for?
| In any event, let US here in the
middle west get the practical phase
Of the matter clearly in mind. BY
! treating war shipping as war
emergency matter, to be paid for
out of war taxes, Director General
Hines put a heavy burden on in
come, excess profits and other
emergency taxes, that fell heavily
4 on the big fortunes Of the east, and
he relieved the burden proportion
ately for the shipper, who was dur
ing the war mainly the western
farmer. That is one of the rea-
sons why there is so much outcry
over the deficit, and that is one
OF the reasons why Director Gem
eral Hines is said to have made
such failure of wartime railroad
ing.
II the deficit" to be paid out
of wartime emergency taxes will
come to $1,000. 100000, as James
lie. Davis reports, then that is SUBJ
| stantially the sum that would have
fallen on the western shipper il the
| New York Tribune had had Its way
iAs it is, the western shipper will
pay relatively a small part OF this
deficit. Let us understand this
situation whatever our final judy
ment may be about it.
The Register has no hesitation
whatever about sustaining Director
General Hines. Nobody can pic
ture the decentralization that would
have come to America shipping in
| the early days Of the war II all the
extra cost had been reflected in
freight rates. Moreover, the bur-
den, would have been unjust. The
war was national undertaking.
The resources Of the whole people
should have been rallied much more
completely than they were to bear
| 1t nationally. There was, properly
speakink, no deficit" in wartime
railroading. There was merely q
distribution of the cost Of wartime
railroading over the whole tax-pay-
| ing community, and the whole tax
paying community should do its
part without complaining and with
out denouncing one Of the ablest
railroad men in the United States,
who gave his time and his energy
to getting our war men and war
materials to seaboard without bank
rupting the western farmer

RAILWAY LABOR BOARD DECIDES
TO REDUCE WAGES

Yesterday the United States Rail-
road Labor Board decided that pres
ent conditions justify reimbursement
downward Of the wages of railway
employees. The important part of the
Boards announcement follows:
Whereas, the railroad board has,
by formal resolution declared that,
in its Judgment based on the evidence
before it in the disputes already heard,
prevailing conditions justify to some
extent, yet to be determined, a re-
adjustment downward of the wages OF
the employees Of the carriers which
are parties to the disputes already
heard; therefore be 1t resolved:
"That this board will on June 4,
1921, announce its decision, covering
disputes as. to wages between carriers
and their employees, which have been
heretofore heard by the board, to be-
come effective July l, 1921.

THE IRISH ELECTIONS

The elections held in ireland last
week for members of parliment re-
suited in practically a clean sweep
for the Republicans in three-fourths
Of the country and closely divided
vote in the other fourth.
OF the 1874 members to be elected
the Republican or Sim Fein party
has safe majorities in 145 districts
and are claiming half dozen more.
Under present conditions the Sim
Fem members will refuse to qualify
because to do SO they would have
to take an oath of allegiance to the
King Of England. The election, how
ever, gave the Republicans a legal
right to record their opposition to
the Crown government.

England and France are at logger
heads. SO to speak, over the rights
OF Germany and Poland in Upper
Silesia. England is supporting the
claims of the Germans and France
those of the Poles. All the nations OF
Europe have about 100000 men un-
der arms, and the armies OF France
and Poland constitute about half Of
that number. And France has entered
into treaties with other European
nations SO that France controls APP
proximately two-thirds Of all the ar
mics of that continent. In view Of
these facts it is reasonably safe to
say that Lloyd George will find some
way to agree with the French Prime
Minister.

The present economic demoraliza-
tion in this country is the staggering
price we are paying for Senate vanity
and Senate partisanship. The United
States can not protect its interests
with AZ nations leagued against tt.
This fact is now quite apparent to
President Harding and Secretary Of
State Hughes, and they are both striv-
ing to undo the mischief directly
traceable to last summers partisan
campaign. This country is not big
enough to kill the League Of Nations.
but the League is big enough to kill
our foreign markets.

Wartime Railro ding
(From the Des Moines Register)

Our readers will get a clear no
tion Of what the complaint over the
"deficit" in wartime railroading
really is by reading the following
statement from the New York Trib-
une:
1.-THE director general of rail-
roads pursued an eccentric, cart
before-the-horse policy Instead
of making wartime traffic pay for
itself and produce a betterment
surplus, he ran the carriers at a
heavy loss and saddled the deficit
on the treasury"
II the Register does nothing
else, it hopes it can bring home to
its readers here in the middle west
Just what It would have meant il
the director general had followed
the policy the. Tribune says he
should have followed. Here, al
least, we should understand the
situation, whatever we may say
about it after we understand it.
The director general-it should
be kept In mind that the director
general was Mr. Hines, one Of the
ablest men Of the Santa Fe rail-
road system argued that it. would
not be fair to put all the burden
of war transportation on the ship
per, that war transportation was
part of the cost Of war and ought
in large part to be paid out of war
emergency taxes. Therefore, al
though the cost Of shipping was
more than doubled, the actual raise
in rates was only rs per cent.
Now, suppose Mr.. Hines had
taken the view Of the New York
Tribune and had Immediately
raised rates to pay for war ship
ping. and to accumulate a better
ment surplus. We have had a
taste Of what would have happened
in the rates of this postwar period
since the railroads were returned
to private management. The rates
would have been higher then than
now, and the raise more ,unex-
pected. How can anyone doubt
that shipping would have been de-
moralized, unrest and disturbance
would have followed, production
would have been interrupted, and
everything thrown. into confusion?
But leaving that, and coming to
tho matter Of Just apportionment
of burdens. why should we say that
the director general was wrong In
his theory, and why should we say
that the New York Tribune and
those who denounce the director
general for the deficit" are right
in their theory? Why should the
whole burden Of war shipping be
