GIVES REASONS
FOR DEPRESSION
Rail Chief Declares Freight
Charges Not the Cause
of Stagnation.
FARM PRODUCTS ARE CITED
Business Depression and Lack OF
Demand the Real Trouble.
FARM PRODUCTS ARE CITED

Washington, d. C.-In testifying be-
fore the Senate Committee on Inter-
state Commerce, which Is conducting
an inquiry into the railroad situation,
julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
board Of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, went into great detair as to the
effect Of freight rates on produce ship
ments, foreign and domestic. The
main points he made in this part Of
his testimony were:
First-That business depression is
not the result Of high freight rates.
Second-That the real cause Of stag
nation In produce shipments Is lack
OF market or proflteerfng.
He said, in part:
A widespread propaganda is being
carried on to arouse public sentiment
against existing freight rates, whereas
the fact is that even since the rates
have been advanced the cost of trans
porting commodities is far less than
the toll taken by the commission mer-
chant and the retailer for buying and
selling them.
Public MisIed as to Situation
OOEIO are IuISICu duu COuCIuOO LA0S
high rates have stopped the movement
of a large amount Of freight and that
the railways would make more money
If they would reduce the rates and
thereby revive the traffic.
There is the strongest reason to be-
lieve that the very great reduction in
traffic has been due almost entirely to
general business conditions that are
worldwide in their effect, and that
would have come if there had been no
advance in freight rates.
Prices Of commodities reached their
maximum in the first half Of the year
1920 and thereafter fell with great
rapidity in France, the United States
and the United Kingdom. The fall in
the United States began in May, and
was rapidly on it's way downgrade in
September, when the advanced rates
took effect. Nevertheless traffic did
not dron for at least four E2E4e:;

THE UNIVERSAL CAR

Out Of the more than 100000 Ford cars now in
use, about sixty per cent have been sold to farm
ers. Probably no other one thing has brought to
the farm SO much of comfort and profit as has the
Ford car. It has enlarged the social life, doubled
the facilities for marketing; bborbugbhtb thebb
the facilities for marketing, brought the town
next door to the farm, multiplied for the farmer
the pleasures of living, and by the same token the
Ford Touring Car has brought just as much pleas
ure to the residents of the towns and cities, be-
cause it is every day in the year utility answer
ing the demand of quick transportation at low
expense. A family car without an equal in low
cost of operation and maintenance. We solicit

Great Feature at Ditmas

James Kirkwood, featured player
in George Melford's new Paramount
production. 1.-THE Great 1mpersona-
ton" which is to be shown at the
Ditmas theatre today, has n of the
most difficult dual roles ever por-
trayed on the screen.
The skill required in the portrayal
of this role will be understood when
one considers the fact that Mr.. Kirk
wood must enact two racial charac-
ters with entirely different charac-
teristics-one a German, the other
an Englishman.
The role becomes further involved
when, as the story develops, IL ap-
pears that the German has killed the
Englishman and impersonates him
in Britain, acting as a spy of the m
perial Prussian government just
prior to the great a
After many thrilling scenes, a
smashing surprise develops which is
calculated to make the average mo-
ton picture fan gasp. 1t is said this
finale is unequalled in interest and
dramatic power by any any similar
situation ever shown in a motion pic
ture. Mr.. Kirkwood's portrayal OF
this difficult role is highly artistic.
This Paramount Picture is an
adaptation by Monte NJ. K~atterjohn
of e. Phillips Oppenheim's novel.
Ann Forrest, Winter Hall, Truly
Shattuck. Alan Hale, Lawrence
Grant, Fontaine La Rue and other
noted players are associated with Mr.
Kirkwood in the all-star cast.
