FREIGHT RATE
PROBLEM

Idaho shippers according to a
statement recently published, have
become convinced that no relief can
come as freight rates until there shall
first be readjustment as to wage
agreements entered into during the
war and at time when the railroads
were under federal control.
1t costs so much to run any bust
ness, and, If 1t is not run at a loss,
expenses must be trimmed. II at a
loss, then, in the case of common car
riers, they can find no market for
their securities, they cannot properly
handle the business, and rates will
be higher instead of lower.
1t is usually so under receivership,
and the experience of the public
gves It no assurance tht it will be

contributor to the high cost of living,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Renewed
efforts by the British Government to

an impetus to trade mark the recent
economic development in Great Britain,
according to a cable to the Commerce
Department to-day from Commercial
Attache Tower at London.
The effort. he said, consists Of the

and likely to pass, providing for Govern
ent loans to assist capital enterprise up
to a total Of f25.000,000.
Continued deflation Of commodity

falling off in wholesale prices in October.
Both imports and exports declined in
values of about 21a per cent. compared
with September. but the total foreign

October, totalled 353.S25.000 square

ber 1920, while the export of woolen and
worsted tissues, amounting to 11.109.0OC

CHICAGO'S RIGHT TO
ISSUE QUESTIONED
Constitutionality Of $4,000.
600 Bonds in Doubt-Bids
TO Be Opened To-day.

A question as TO the constitutionality
Of the proposed issuance of $4,000, 600
Of the City of Chicago's per cent. nine
and two-third year average city bonds
has arisen. Bids for the issue are to be
opened to-day at noon. New York time,
bids submitted by Eastern banking syn
dicates will be conditional. The pro-
posed bonds will be due in 1923 TO 1910
inclusive. and are for deficiency pur-
poses. The Chicago city authorities
asked approval of the issue from Chap
man, Cutler & Parker. attorneys. and on
their recommendation as to its constitu-
tionslity the city advertised for bids to
be received explicitly without condition
or qualification. Certain syndicates
consulted other eminent attorneys In
Chicago. who expressed the opinion that
there was constitutional violation in
issuing such bonds. They declared that
they would not approve the new bonds
until the matter was passed on by the
Supreme Court. Their advice was TO
ignore the sale.
Under the Illinois Constitution no
debt can be created unless at the time
ii is created a tax is levied to pay off
principal and interest. In this case no
tax had been levied at the time the debt
was created. The city attorneys con-
tended that the city, having fallen off
in revenues by reason of saloon license
linita ton, was putting out the issue to
fund a debt incurred, that the issuance
had been authorized by the voters and
that provision had been made TO pay its
principal and interest
