 "In upholding the honor of thu profession of the law" MT. Carsor said in presenting the resolution, 70 what use is it to prescribe canons O 1 ethics if we know that the man or | whom the judicial ermine rests ha | soiled that ermine by yielding to tn 1 temptation of ayarice and privat gain?
 Here is a federal judge who re ceives S7500 a year yielding to tn solicitation of commercial interests sapping his judicial strength by talk ing $42,5 300 a year from baseball players.

CANADIAN PREMIER
 RECOMMENDS EARLY
 PARLIAMENT CLOSE
LRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

LONDON. Ont, Sept. IA recom- mendation that the Canadian parlia- ment dissolve at an early date to provide time for full discussion and an election before the new year, was declared by Premier Meighen tonight to be. in his opinion, the proper course to follow. It was his inten- tion, he said, to pursue that policy.
 The present parlimanet of Canada the thirteenth-was elected in De- cember. 1919. when Sir Robert Bor- den's unionist government was re- turned by an enormous majority. The issue of the campaign was the conscription measure introduced and passed under cloture in 1917. To ad- minister the compulsory military ser vice act in a satisfactory manner, Sir Robert Borden, then heading a conservative administration, invited the heads of the Liberal (opposition) party to form a coalition, and it was this combination that assumed office following the war time elections" of 1917, backed by an overwhelming ma jority in the house of commons.
 On the retirement of Sir Robert Borden as premier a year ago, Ar thur Meighen. who had held a posi- ton in the cabinet of the conserva- tive and unionist administrations, was called upon to lead the govern ment. The unionist majority has shrunk considerably through the growth of the third or agrarian party in parliament. made up largely of western farmers whose views on tar if do not agree with those of the government. With the decline of the governments strength the Liberal opposition has been ca Hing upon the Meighen administration for a year to appeal tS the people. claiming that the unionist government, elected to carry on Canadas war program i ceased to have a mandate when | peace was declared

Chairman of Kansas Public Utilities Commission -Testifies Profits Largest In History
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON Sept. 1.-Testi- mony before the interstate commerce commission on freight rates on grain and hay was complete today with ap- pearance of Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the Kansas public utilities com mission, who asserted railroads were concealing their earnings. Various funds, he charged, were being set up by the carriers of the West into which were placed cash taken from their present earnings, while the car riers were complaining that they were not earning a fair return on their in vestments.
 Commissioner Potter had placed in the record an exhibit prepared by statisticians of the commission show ing the comparative wage received by farm labor, which the exhibit showed to average 15 cents an hour, while those of railroad employees were shown to be 61.5 cents.
 On the basis of an analysis of the accounting returns of 19 railroads in the West operating S9,055 miles of track, or 6S per cent of the mileage of the western district, Mir. Reed as serted that their profits during 1920, which. he said. generally had been considered insufficient to meet. the government guarantee of their earn ing power, in fact had been the greatest in their history. He charged that propaganda in favor of main tenance of transportation rates had misled not only public opinion but also the official bodies charged with the duties of regulating rates.
 The profits of the 19 railroads. as shown by their official reports, were s987. .S34.470 in 1920, Mir. Reed said, while in 1915, the best year previously recorded. he added, they amounted to S52S,717,753. In addition to this. the railroads held on Dec. 31, 1920 he continued. s2S9. 900, ,0o0 as a reserve for accrued depreciation of equp- ment." In 1915 the total reserve SC held was s144.994 ,362. he said. adding l that the roads in 1920 had added to | the fund s45,000, 900. which was car ried as "operating expenditure"
 A further example, he said, was an ''operating reserve account" which amounted to s3S,111.445 in 1920, while in 1915 the fund was s3,733, ,5S1. These amounts were set aside from railroad | earnings, MT. Reed said, notwith- standing that the normal expendi- lures were made up on maintenance Of equipment and road bed. Produc- | ing statistics as to the amount oi | work done, he asserted that there had l been no failure to provide usua maintenance.

 We of America, without unneces' sary boasting," he continued, have come nearer to civilized warfare thai any other nation"
 The president said 'the troubl with the world today is that ther' are too many theorists who knov nothing of actualities."
