LOWER RATES
|. ON PRODUCTS
OF The FARM
Railroads Of United States
Announce 10 Per Cent
Cut in Rates-To Be Ef-
fective Soon.

New York, Nov. 17.--An imme-
date reduction Of 10 per cent in
carload freight rates on farm prod
ucts for six months was agreed upon
Yesterday by executives of the rail
roads Of the United States.
Annohncing the decision, Thomas
Dewitt Cuyler, president OF the
Association of Railway Executives,
said that reductions made since
September /, 1920, are to be in
Guided in the 10 per cent that it
will be put into effect without
waiting for a reduction in wages
The freight rate cut will apply
throughout the entire country ex-
cept on traffic moving wholly with
in Kew England.
1t is expected that the new rate
will be effective within 10 days be-
cause the railroads had asked t.
Interstate Commerce Commission
through their general attorney to
authorize the change on one days
notice. The reduction will cost the
railroads about $55,oOo,oQo, it was
ESTIMATED.
\ Involves Heavy Loss.
''The railroads have already re-
duced freight rates substantially
from the level established by the
commission in August, 1920" Mr..
Cuyler said. 1.-THE reductions al
ready made are estimated as. ac-
curately as can be, to involve a loss
of revenue at the rate of from $175,-
10000 to $200,O00,000 annually
These reductions on many roads rep
resent a loss much greater than
any corresponding saving realized
from reductions in wages already eff
fected. The railroads are, further
more, awaiting decisions Of the La
Dor Board, which it is hoped, will
relieve the companies of the ex-
pense of many onerous and unecon-
omical working conditions. The
railroads are not in financial posi-
ton to make this sacrifice.
UNLESS there should be some re-
vival in business the probability OF
which is conjectural, the entire inn
mediate loss involved in this pro-
posed reduction in rates would be
taken from the net earnings of the
railroads.
Appeals to the Public.
Mr.. Cuyler said the railroads were
relying on the public for effective
aid in bringing about the necessary
reductions in labor and other trans
portation costs and that they hoped
for labor's cooperation. He said
the railroads had taken the first
step to relieve existing business de-
preston ana had given an earnest
example of their fixed purpose to re-
duce rates and to relieve at the
earliest practicable moment so far
as reasonably possible the public's
transportation burden.

BLAMING 1T on THE WAR


II has grown 10 be habit with some
people to blame all of our Ills on the
war We have quite few citizens
right here In Deming who have become
addicted 10 this habit. They point at
the high price Of coal and saw Il was
because the goveEnment scrambled up
the railroads 80 during the war they
haven't been untangled yet. Listen to
another man and you'll hear that the
war has 80 raised the miners pay that
he can earn IN one dag as much as he
earned In three dnys before the war.
and that he Is. therefore. not inclined
to dig as much coal as he used TO. An
other man win declare that meat Is M
because cold-storage people stocked up
80 heavily during the war. and found
such high prices abroad where cattle
raising has been impossible during the
past few wears that they don't want to
get back 10 pre-war prices.
Another will tell Won that the people
have been. as whole. too careless In
themselves with the necessi-
ties Of life. like food and fuel. and have
been too much occupied in paying Off
the Injuries OF life. like automobiles.
Thnt Of course. Is not true though
the rich by some Injuries has pre-
vented the sunply " the ncccssarics TO
others. We are all dependent, one up-
on another, and we must learn TO strike
n better level between necesSaries and
Injuries.
But blaming everything that's wrong
on the war is mistake. The war
brought some blessings. We've had
high prices. and we had the money to
huv with The solution now Is Ia keen

quickly as Dossible, and do the hest

A BUNCH OF TYPE OR TWO
HUNDRED, MORE OR LESS
Bv DIR. M. A. Majors

By DR.. M. A. Majors
They may be unknown but heroes
That the world would proudly
claim,
For they bravely bore the scourge OF
war,
And dying won their fame.
There's life for unborn millions,
Though death its toll was great
Among the men of every race
Who were reconciled to Fate.
We are free from the monstrous evil
Because they fought so well,
On battlehelds drenched with blood,
Where thousands fighting fell.
They lie out there in Flanders field,
In unmarked graves unknown,
That we who live might have what
they,
Through courage, could disown.
You may choose your grimmest con-
fict
From the page of history
That tells of battles that were fought
That people should be free.
There never has been such carnage
In the worlds great wars of strife
Nor hatred shown in the grip OF death
That the world be given new life
We pause as we think of the heroes,
Who did all they were called to do,
And gave their all when giving life,
AS soldiers brave and true;
And if to live is glorious,
To serve our fellowmen,
To die for right in the face of might,
Is greater than sword or pen.
We fail in giving reverence
To the men who fought in France,
Who fought as brave men ever fought
That right should have a chance.
But our hearts are no less anxious,
Our gratitude and our love
Are far too great a measure;
We may treasure it all above.
