reduce Rail RATES
BECAUSE OF CANAL
Santa Fe Official Says Trans
continental Charges Are
Being Lowered
COMPETITIVE BASIS AIM
BY the Associated Press

Washington, May 31.-Trans- cont
mental railroad freight rates are being
altered TO meet ocean competition be :
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific via
the Panama Canal. Edward Chambers,
vice president of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, declared today before the
senate committee investigating the
railroad situation.
I'VE shall Ak the rates from San
Francisco TO New York to meet the
water carriers" Mr.. Chambers said,
and then modify the interior rate
structure so that Kansas City, Chi
cago and Cincinnati. for instance, will
get the same rate as that to New York.
and producers in nll points will be
placed on n competitive basis"
What that MEANS" said Chairman
Cummins, lis that you will then be
carrying freight from Chicago or Kan :
sas City to New York. or vice versa,
for nothing"
Sees Manufacturer Satisfied
That may be so, Senator" Mr..
Chambers responded. ''but 1t isn't the
way We figure 1t. The manufacturer
for instance. will be satisfied in each
case, because he will get his products
just as cheaply as his competitor"
Senator Pomerene, Democrat. Ohio
read into the records a series of rates
showing that interior cities pay greater
freight rates on n number Of commodi :
ties than coast cities pay for longer
hauls on the same products.
Mr.. Chambers discussed Panama
Canal competition. declaring that ths
water rates should be regulated. Rea
sonable rates should be fixed" Mr.
Chambers said. .'The public would
be better served. Between the ports oi
the United States, the water carrier,
should be under the jurisdiction Of tn,
Interstate Commerce Commission anC
the rates should be high enough to al.
| low the Panama Canal to pay interes
on the cost of construction.
Existing freight rates are not respon
| sible for the stagnation in the build
| ing industry and have not operated t.
curtail road construction. Mr.. Chamber,
said
"In cities on the Pacific Coast an,
throughout the West, South and East,
| Mr.. Chambers said, conditions sur
rounding the building industry appeal
to be abont the same. The general re
| port is that comparatively small
| amount of building is being done. A
San Francisco. Seattle aud Portland
where lumber is at the door, condition
are the same as at Kansas City
Omaha. Chicago or Cleveland.
| Chicago has plants within it's cit
limits which produce all kinds of struc
tural iron and steel, likewise cement
brick. lime. sand. gravel and crushc
rock. and building conditions are n
different in Chicago than in the othe
places mentioned

Washington. May 31.-(By A. P.)-
Enactment Of the Tincher Grain Fu-
lures Trading Bill would act as "de-

ain to keep this country fully informed,
or the later conference which will be
held by the three for the consideration
Of disarmament, will afford the basis of
completer understanding between all
three powers with interests in the Pa
cific than has ever existed hitherto.
Japan Must Revise Eastern Policy
With regard to Japan, it has already
been pointed out that she has been left
isolated by the war and must redress
her policy toward her Asiatic neigh
bors more in harmony with the aims of
the United States. There is another
side to this question, the white race
group Of nations. in which this country
and Great Britain are now the domi-
nant factors, has certain interests which
will be served by reaching a broad un-
derstanding with Japan.
Take the case of England. Dis
patches from London vaguely suggest
that u renewal of the Anglo Japanese
Alliance is essential TO the unity of the
Empire, the argument being that Can
ada, Australia and South Africa, with
their Japanese tendencies, cannot
be left TO deal with Japan separately.
\ still more potent reason is India.
England is having her difficulties in
India. where n strong nationalist ten
dency is developing.
This British possession looks to
japan as the strongest Asiatic power
for leadership. Indian agitators have
even gone as far ms China in accent :
ing Japan's somewhat aggressive policy
toward the Asiatic nations as necessa nv
for the DEVELOPMENT of unity and
strength in Asia against the white races
of the world

Public Has Faith in Hoover
The Trelinghuysen bill is an un-
usually comprehensive measure. In the
hands of Herbert Hoover il would un-
ouestionably throw light into all the
hidden places in this complex coal sit

There is a popular faith that Hoover
would do the right thing. That once
for all he would make clean up of
this question by a thorough investiga-
ton.
Until the Calder investigation there
has never been thorough. unbiased

Yet the miners cry oppression
There is a structural weakness about
the Frelinghuysen bill that should be
eliminated. The penalty of a fine OF
$1,000 or six months in prison is a
joke.
Fines No Deterrent
There are operators and dealers who
would sooner sacrifice twenty times q

questions or produce certain books that
Secretary Hoover might want.
The substitution of one little word
would perfect the Frelinghuysen bill.
Instead of fine of $1,000 or SIX

$1,000 AND" six months in prison
and the trick is turned.
No coal man, no matter what his
position. will risk the lasting disgrace
of six months in jail rather than eK-

DAYLIGHT SAVING ON
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
Gen. Manager Bardo Says Measure Will be Effective
 April 24

While standard time will prevail m the state so far as the clocks are concerned, the "New Haven" road will operate on daylight saving time. Locally this will have little effect except on the Post Office and the necessity of persons who travel get ting at the station an hour earlier.
 Notice given Monday by General Manager c. L. Bardo, of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road that the road would go on day light saving April 24, makes it almost compulsory on the part of large em- ployers of commuters to open their establishments an hour earlier after that day. Such employers are fac tories, insurance companies and de- partment stores. Banks are not ne- cessarily affected, as they usually open over an hour ahead of their an- nounced time. The notice reads:
 Effective Sunday, April 24, in order to comply with the conditions as to time, existing in the territory in which the railroads operate, the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford Rail-
 - road Company and the Central New England Railway Company will re- adjust their train schedules so as to operate one hour earlier to conform to daylight saving, and the schedules as rearranged will continue in effect until the last Sunday in September, l. e., September 25, the termination of the daylight saving period.
 "This supplements information of March 4, 1921, as to the dates be- tween which the daylight saving rail- road schedules will be operated by the railroads; the change being necessary through the adoption of the city of New York and the com of Massachusetts of day. light saving laws, effective during the above period"

WILL. PROHIBIT RID- ING ON SIDEWALKS
Nuisance Has Been Cause of Several Narrow
 Escapes

The nuisance of riding bicycles on the sidewalks about town has become so great that the selectmen have been called upon to take action against the offenders. One elderly person was recently knocked down, while several others have had narrow escapes. Attention is called to the following statute:
 Section 1588 of the General Sta tutes, Revision of 1918. Whoever rides a bicycle on the side walk shall be fined not more than $20 for each offense and be liable for all damages thereby occasioned."
 The term side walk as used in this Section shall mean any side walk laid out as such by the town, city or borough or any walk which is re- served by custom for the use of pedestrians, or which has been specially prepared for their use.
 The term bicycle as used in this section shall be deemed to include all vehicles propelled by the person riidng the same, by foot or hand power" .,s..
 It has become necessary for the Selectmen to stop the riding of bicycles on the side walks within this village, and after April 1st, 1921 all violations of this Statute shall be prosecuted.

LEAGUE MILK $40
 FOR COMING MONTH
Pooling Plan Funds to be Deposited in Local
 Banks

The Board of Directors of the
 Dairymen's League, Inc, in session
 at Utica, N. Y, on March IT decided
 that the producers price during I April should be S2.10 per 100 pounds
 for 3 per cent milk at the 200-21O
 mile freight zone. This is the same
 as the March price.
 The April price means a price to
 the producer of cents quart for average milk testing 3.6 per cent butterfat. Since March 1, forty manufacturing plants, were re- opened. These plants have been closed since Oct. 1, 1920.
 With the Leagues pooling plan about ready to begin, there is much interest as to just how each member will receive his check in payment for the milk. The Board of Directors has decided that the money for the milk will be deposited in local banks and checks in payment for the same will be drawn on these banks and sent to the local adjustor, who will countersign and distribute them to the farmers. Any adjustments as to weights, complaints, etc, will be taken up through the local adjustor, who is a dairyman residing in the community. Many adjustors have already been appointed.
 The particular local bank to re- ceive the patronage of the Co-opera- tive Association will be that bank which has rendered the most service and cooperation to the organized dairymen in their efforts to improve the sales end of their own business. By this plan of finances, the local communities will have the advantage of having the large sums of money in payment for their milk handled through their own local banks.
 The last meeting of the Board of Directors took steps to secure f. nancial advisory committee, com posed of financiers of national repu- tation, to examine into the handling of Dairymen's League Cooperative funds, the distribution of the same and advise IS to banking facilities for the more safe, efficient and economical handling of the Co-opera- tive Associati oE's finances and busi. ness problems. The appointment of such a committee and several large financiers have consented to act on the committee, will give the Co., operative Association the benefit of the highest possible financial advice on its important problems.

Beware of Clover-Timothy Mixtures

So-called clover-timothy seed mix lures which are widely advertised by certain seed firms at what may ap- pear to be attractive prices, often contain so little alsike O. red clover that they are of little, if any, more value than timothy seed, bus actually cost nearly double the market price of that seed, say specialists of the United States department of agrf- culture. These mixtures are usually offered by the bushel, followed by the qualifying statement that a bushel weighs only 45 pounds.
 In other words, this seed is offered as clover and timothy with the claim that the different seeds occur in the proper proportions for seed ing, while frequently there is not more than five or six per cent of clover present-not enough to be of any value in the crop.
 Persons who buy mixed seed can not be too careful to learn the exact proportion of the mixtures they get and the quality of the seed composing them. Otherwise they are likely to pay an exorbitant price for seed that will not give the crop wanted.
