SIMS UPHELD.

Senator Frederick Hale of Maine, chair
man of the SUBJ committee that several
months ago invested charges preferred
by Admiral Sims against the conduct of
the Navy Department during the war.
has completed his report and submitted
it to the Senate. 1t is based on the evil
dence contained in about 1000 pages of
testimony taken in the investigation. and
it is IN endorsement of the stand taken
by the Admiral. His criticisms were di-
rected not only againt the policies of for
mer Secretary Daniels but against the
organization of the Department itself as
not being such as to enable the effective
prosecution of q war. The Democratic
members of the subcommittee filed a
minority report and naturally took excep-

AID FOR RAILROADS.

"Under the Cummins-Esch act, the
railroads are forced to furnish transpor-
tation at cost, plus 1-2 per cent inter-
e st on the actual value of their proper
ties. 1t is agreed that it would be against
public interest to compel the railroads to
seek the money they require for opera
ton in the open market and pay 71-2 and
8 per cent. The government is the only
source through which the railroads can
secure the needed funds at s per cent.
"The government still owes the rail-
roads about S40o. 0OO, 900 on the guarantee
period, and about 500, O0O, 600 for under
maintenance. There are points in dis
pute as to the methods of figuring these
settlements and some of them may have
to be adiudicated. The solution, there
fore, ID for the government to fund inn.

Why Coal Is High.

The Boston Herald says: "We have
several times commented upon the ex-
pensve.and antiquated mel hods Shy which
the consuming public is SUPPLIED with an
thrscite coal. We now have in our pos
session long statement from an expert
enced business man who served for two
wears as fuel administrator in small
city, and who bought coal, arranged for
its transportation, arranged deliveries,
dealt with score of coal agencies. super
yised retailers in four towns and examin-
ed their books, bills, costs, deliveries and
other records through period of about
five years.
This gentleman says that from the
mine to the consumers bin the whole
process is surrounded with profit and ex-
pense.' He says: I am somewhat ia
miliar with the coal game, and know
it is played against the public interest,
and believe unnecessarily So He dis
cusses at length the differences between
standard coal and Independent coal, and
says that standard is unobtainable by the
majority of dealers, while the standard
dealer is not furnished with enough to
break the market He shows how the
necessity of having recourse to independ-
ent coal lifts the costs and adds an extra
profit; how the standard dealers guage
their prices according to conditions among
the independents, and how the big pro-
ducers allot their output among their
customers. He says fatty that the small
dealers have no systematic method of
handling business, doing their work in
slack, expensive manner, leaving the con-
sumner to pay the bill.
This statement confirms The Herald's
opinion that coal is handled in an anti
quated fashion, not merely by the smaller
dealers, but by some of the largest deal
ers in the business. Modern coal plants,
constructed and operated with the pur-
pose of saving every dollar possible and
eliminating every unnecessary handling,
would save the ultimate buyer a lot of
money on his annual fuel bill. Modern
ization of methods is one of the funda-
mental needs of the time"

roads owe the government for financing

Immediately release about S40O, 900, 900
with which the railroads can pay their
bills and this in turn would release
money to the equipment and supply con-
Germs, to which the railroads are indebt-
ed, SO that they could discharge their OBJ
legations to their banks.
"The President has the power, under
the Transportation Act, to refund these
railroad debts for 10 years, ard many
leading members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission are recommending
that this be done, believing that it will
greatly relieve the present financial pres
sure on railroads and other large indus
tries which have bills to liquidate. -

WHAT AMERICA IS PAYING

The American citizen whose favorite
pastime in the earlier months of the
World War was declaring that "this
country will be the woz st hated land on
the face of the earth when the war is
over because it has made so much money
out of the combat" may have repented
his wicked words ere now. If he has not,
he could with immense inward enlighten-
ment, if not outward betterment, study
what Ambassador Harvey told England
about this protiteering charge few days
ago.
Give years ago." he said, "the national
debt of tie United States was a little
over $1,000, co., 900, or less than. $40 per
capita. Now it exceeds 20 odd billions
more than 5000 per capita
''In 1915 congressional appropriations
were 1914, 100000, In 1920, for 1921, they
were nearly $5,OOO,OOO, 900, and left
deficit of another billion.
I'm dollars, the cost of America of her
participation in the war, when finally
computed, will fail not SO very far short
of the entire indemnity imposed upon
Germany"
That tells America s financial contribu
ton to the cost of the war. What is re-
CURED in lives and in other things almost
as precious as lives need not be discussed,
America paid or is paying all the price
without murmur. She is not 'tthe most
hated country on earth, moreover. There
still may be those who do not appreciate
what the world conflict laid upon this
nation in burdens of every sort, but their
number grows fewer all the while The
races of the world are coming to UNDER
stand that Americans pay without whim-
pering when it is necessary to foot bill.
They do not, even in that spirit, permit
unjust nor improper claims to be saddled
off upon them in the guise Of demands
upon conscience.-St. Louis Times.

AN ABSURD REFERENDUM
From the Maine Farmer

The beauty of our recent legislation by
which after measures have been thorough
ly threshed out in committee sessions,
and on the floor of both the House and
Senate, the securing of ten thousand
names on petition can send the whole
matter to the people for popular vote,
regardless of whether the voters know
anything about the merits of the subject
or not, is coming home with added force
each year. The voters of Maine are not
opposed to the law as passed at the last
legislature making possible new board
of highway commission, for very few are
satisfied with the Wasteful expenditure
of money in the past. The $3.50, 900 gar
age, built with the peoples money, still
smells and will for years. 1t is on a par
with the manner of doing business by the
present commission, yet because of mis-
representations voters signed petitions
Tor referendum. Now they will 90 to
the polls and vote to sustain the action of
the last legislature in the hope that better
methods may be made possible in high
way construction. The strange thing is
that men should ask to have referred
what they want put in operation. 1t was
bit of sharp practice which will hardly
count when the time comes to vote on
the question. Every farmer is interested
IN saving money, not wasting it.
