Stanford Herald.)

This paper hac c,owl it. I'd "Gc.a ;i2t thc
railroads have pushed UP the rates until it is
impossible for any business man to make profit
any more; it is impossible for the farmer to
make any profit and impossible for the consumer
to live with the present high rates in effect. The
railroads camoufageing on the labor question
and the employees truthfully say they cannot
work for less until the prices come down and
the prices cannot come down until the rates are
reduced, therefore the railroads should be forced
to lower their rates first and this will automat
icay bring down wages
But the best thing to do under this and any
other circumstances is to go ahead and help
yourself without asking the railroads anything
Experience will teach you that the railroads
never did anything until they were compelled to
do it by the very force of circumstances.
California has always enjoyed better freight
rate than Florida account of the many com
peting lines but not satisfied with the present
freight rate California has been shipping fruits
and vegetables via the Panama Canal and the
all-water route to the eastern markets and now
the railroads want to reduce and have reduced
the rate from California to the eastern markets
and the other day said that if the California
growers would stop shipping by water they would
reduce the rate farther down the scale
InlS is the attitude or the railroads. Either
with the consent and the support Of so-called
commerce commission or by the fact that there
are no competing lines in the full sense of the
word the southern railroads have robbed the
shippers for years in the matter of freight rates
and the thing to do now without waiting for any
terms or compromises is for Florida growers to
make arrangements to ship by water and keep on
shipping by water even if the railroads offer to
deliver the stuff free of charge.
The people need not look for any help from the
commerce commission. The people need not look
for any help from the railroads. They should
get together and stand together and pool their
interests and put in their own cold storage plants
and have their own refrigeration boats and cars
if possible and go to it with the idea that they
are bigger than the railroads. the commerce COM
mission and the people that are supposed to rep
resent them at Washington.

of the friendship A homely example of that is
presented in David Harum," when the hero of
the story refused to let friend have small loan,
and talked him around to another viewpoint by
showing that it would eventually destroy their
happy relations.
The resolutions offered in the Federation of
Labor conven;cn demanding payment of this loan
is only enc of the many which will be passed in
the future Everybody who has it in for" Great
Britain will talk about it in season and out. 1t
will be assigned as the cause of high taxes, hard
times, poor crops and low wages. And slowly
into the minds of millions who are now Indifferent
will creep a contempt for the nation that doesn't
pay. 1t will be flung as reproach at Americans
of British BIRTH and as an argument wherever Brit
ish policy is called into question. 1t is pity this
money was not simply delivered outright as part
of cur own war costs. This country could afford
to lose it, though it is certainly too late now to
propose any voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of the claim.
And England can not afford to repay it, and prob
ably never will do So While very little has been
said about it yet, except in undertones. it is of
the most unfortunate features of the wars after
math, and contains as much potential trouble as
the Polish boundary line.

AUTO WEAKNESS

My car is always the blink. it's conducts
always coarse and raw; it would have driven me
to drink, long since, but for the Vostead law
On verna morning, bright and COOL go rejoc-
ing for spin; and in the dusk farmers mule
is hired to haul my tumbril in. The grim me-
chanics ply their trade, and mend the divers
busted parts, and then collect what coin I've
made, and blow it in the changing marts And
evermore | hear my friends tell auto yarns, in
joyous notes; OH nothing ever breaks or bends
about the other fellows boats! Year after year
they bowl along, and cost money for repairs,
and nothing's going wrong, no sparkplug
misses unawares They climb up hills the own
ers say, without knock kindred sound; and
get stuck on every brae, in every mudhole am
drowned 1t is the other fellows bus that never
gets its water warm, that ambes FORTH without
fuss, its many wonders to perform. 1t is the other
fellows van that's better than when twas
new; have the only also that made
driver blue. But it be the other guys who
brag in such lofty tone, are handing me de-
natured lies-have they some troubles of their
own? Behind the mugs that bravey shine are
there lot of carking cares? Are other boats as
bad mine and break their owners for re-
pairs?

An exchange, the Paatka News, we believe,
suggests that instead of being filled with the pic
lures of great generals the school books of the
future should contain the pictures of wounded
soldiers, whenever they desire to illustrate war
The idea is excellent. The fuss and feathers of
military pomp has much to do with keeping the
war spirit alive and preventing the conversion of
swords into plowshares. incidentally, the picture
should also show big blank space to represent
the benefits derived from war, and an interro-

BACK TOWARD NORMALLY

Sometimes the Telegram feels it would have
been better just to have told the public the truth
about conditions at the end Of he war-bhrted it
right out that cur dazzling prosperity had a mere
paper basis-that enhanced prices were merely
the outward form of currency inAation-that in
stead of having grown richer the country was ma
teriay impoverished by the war-and that before
we could begin to build up, currency would have
to get back to a stable basis, or, in other words
that prices would have to come down to the pre-
war level, and possibly even lower.
Instead of doing that we have discussed prices
as if they were permanent. We have combatted,
pessimistic, every prediction thai business would
have to readjust itself And the result is that while
certain things have declined enormously, others
have actually taken advantage Ct this cultivated
public misconception, 10 advance to unheard of
figures.
Farm products are down. Cotton IS back to the
old level. Sugar is quoted at less than six cent
wholesale Hogs and cattle are lower than they
have been for years Wool and hides are drug
on the market. Some lines of wages are as low
as they were ten years ago.
Yet rail rates are higher than ever in the history
of the country. Rents, in many localities, are al
vancing Retail prices have not followed The
downward trend Taxes are weighing like mill
stone around the neck of the people Many ho-
tells, restaurants and public utilities have never even
heard of price reduction The result is that to the
farmer and laborer ii IS harder to make money
than it was before the war, while the things he
has to buy are fast becoming prohibitye in price
This situation is critical Not only is it under
mining business but it is cutting at the American
standard of living and paving the way for danger
Gus discomfort "Normalcy' can come only with
social justice, and social justice demands that prices
should descend tic correspond with values All the

the people and security of the country at heat,
would devote some attention to lhls aspect of the
situation, and foregoing fer a lime their natural
desire to accumulate. lend their efforts to bringing
things back to a safe and natural basis And, know
ing the unsehshness and public spirit of the great
majority of our industrial and commercial leaders,
we have no doubt they would do so, if they fully
realized its necessity
