DEMOCRATS TO RAISE
FUNDS TO PAY DERTS

At a meeting of the Democratic
State Committee held in Jefferson
City, Jan. 18th, committee composed
of Chairman C. E. Yancey, Secretary
Thos. II. Fisher, A. 7. DUNN and A.,
L, Harty, members of the State Com
mittee, were appointed a sub-commit-
tee to direct the raising of funds to
pay the debts of the State Committee,
incurred during the last campaign.
The above committee has opened an
office at Jefferson City for the pur-
pose Of carrying on this work, and
have apportioned this Indebtedness
among the cities and counties of the
state upon an equitable basis.
Each county is assessed sum
equal to ten per cent of the Demo-
cratic vote cast for President at the
last election, and the county chairmen
have been called upon to at once de-
wise and put into operation, plans for
raising this money. We feel that
this is fair apportionment and that
tie Democrats viii promptly respond
to this call and with a little effort
this money will soon be raised and
our party's Indebtedness not only paid,
but fund created with which to car
ry on necessary and important work
preparatory to future campaigns.
All Democrats are urged to con-
tribute as literally as possible to this
fund, at once. Our obligations are
pressing and constitute debt of hon
or which must be discharged before
we can hope to go forward. Send
your check to your county chairman,
or to Thos. H. Fisher, Secretary, GIG

ACTION ON FORD RATES.

merce Commission.
Washington, Dec. 23.--Henry Ford 3
attempt to reduce freight rates on coal
twenty per cent along the line of his
railroad the Detroit, Toledo and Iron
ton, was disallowed yesterday by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Commission based its action
on the ground that the reduction
would constitute discrimination
against other mining territory, the
coal product of which is sold in To
ledo, Detroit and other cities along
the Ford railroad.
The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Is
financially able to make the reduc-
ton, the Commission said but "a
proper rate relationship between com.
petitive groups, particularly on such
commodity as coal, is in many re-
spects Of greater Importance to the
shipping public than the measure Of
the rate itself
If the proposed reduction were al
lowed to stand, the Commission said
competing lines in southern Ohio, not
located on the Detroit, Toledo and
Ironton, would be unable to continue
operation and mines In Pennsylvania
West Virginia, Kentucky and Tonnes
see would also be affected by undue
preference involved in the lower Ford
rates.
The proposed rate cut disallowed
under yesterdays ruling Is the first
to which the Commission has not
agreed, It having sanctioned all other
reductions in interstate rates on the
Detroit, Toledo and lronton suggested
by Mr.. Ford since he obtained con.
troll OF the carrier.
