REDUCE RAILWAY RATES.

Freight-carrying charges have
merce is halted and production dis
Icouraged. Railway rates and costs of
operation must be reduced.
Congress may well investigate and
let the public understand wherein our
system and the Federal regulations
are lacking in helpfulness or hinder
ing in restrictions. The remaining
obstacles which are the heritance of
capitalistic exploitation must be re-
moved, and labor. must join manage
ment in understanding that the pub
lie which pays is the public to be
served, and simple justice is the right
and will continue to be the right of
all the people.
Transportation over the highways
is little less important, but the prob
lens relate to construction and de-
|velopment, and deserve your most
earnest attention, because We are
laying a foundation for a long time to
come, and the creation is very diff
ficult to visualize in its great possi-
bilities.
The highways are not only feeders
to the railroads and afford relief from
their local burdens, they are actually
lines OF motor traffic in interstate
commerce. They are the smaller ar
teries of the larger portion of our
commerce, and the motor car has be-
come an indispensable instrument in
our political. social, and industrial
| life.
There is begun a new era in high
way construction, the outlay for
which runs far into hundr eds of mil
lions of dollars. Bond issues by road
districts, counties, and States mount
to enormous figures, and the country
is facing such an outlay that 1T is
vital that every effort shall be direct
ed against wasted effort and unjusti-
fable expenditure
The Federal Government can place
no inhibition on the expenditure in
the several States: but, since Congress
has embarked upon a policy of assist
| ing the States in highway improve
ment. wisely, I believe, IL can assert
a wholly becoming influence in shap-
ing policy.
with the principle of Federal par
! ticipation acceptably established
probably never to be abandoned, IL is

tons which will work on the various
questions and report to the full con-
ference for action. The late arrival
of Lloyd George, the British premier,
may cause some things to be delayed,
although work of preparatory ma
ture upon them can proceed in his
absence; and the short stay of Pre-
mier BRAND of France may cause
some little delay in the necessity of
his colleagues consulting him by cable
and wireless. The Christmas holidays,
however, promise to see the confer
ence in the midst of its work. How
long it will continue in session can
not be forecast. The delegates may
experience a Washington summer.
American officials recognize the
public demand for information of the
workings Of the conference, and they
have said they will try to satisfy it
in every way. They say at the same
time that some of the conference pro-
ceedings necessarily must be conf
Dental. One of them who is in DO
sition to speak with authority put it
this way:
Argument For Secrecy
"If all these deliberations are pub
lie there is the possibility that some
body will not get up and say what he
ought to say because he wouldn't
want to say it in public; there is also
the possibility that somebody will
get up and say. something he ought
not to say, because he yields to the
temptation to say it for public con.

great economic waste in fear of war.
The American government, it should
be said, denies no nation its "place in
the sum-" or it's opportunity for ex-
pansion; neither does it have any
notion of asking any nation to dis
pense with the means by which it
assures it's reasonable safety.
1t seeks only, it may be said by the
same authority, to remove troubles,
which although now little might in
the future grow great, and by do
ing that make heavy preparations
for war unnecessary. Having done
that, if it can be accomplished, Amer
lea hopes to point the way to a re-
duction of ornaments which will be
fair and just to all.
When the call for the conference
was issued, it was followed by a wave
Of public feeling that complete dis
armament was the object of the
United States. This, however,
quickly was corrected, and it was
Secretary Hughes who pointed out
that the proper designation of the af-
fair was "a conference on the limita-
ton of ornaments, with emphasis
being placed on the word Limitation
Almost Immediately afterward there
were evidences of a considerable pres
sure Of public thought in direction of
complete disarmament on the ground
that if the United States were to
point the way the remainder of the
world would be forced by it's public
opinion to follow, and swords would
be beaten into ploughshares. The
United States, it may be said on the
highest authority, has no thought of
proposing a complete disarmament
although there are indications that
it will lead off with proposals for re-
duction which may be startling.
The first few days Of the sessions
are bound to be taken up with Off
cial formalities and organization
work. including the appointment of
committees and the divisions of the
conference into sections and sub-sec-
