VERNORS ASK REPEAL IF LAW ASSURING ROADS 4 FIXED INCOME
Declare Against Freight Rate Clauses of Esch- Cummins Act-Ask State Rights Be Respected
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 19-Re- peal of clauses in the Esch- Cummins transportation act directing the in terstate commerce commission to fix freight rates on a basis that will give the railroads six per cent re- turn on their valuations, was urged in a resolution adopted by the con- ference of middle west governors at it's closing session here today. Guar anteeing the railroads a fixed return is unwise and uneconomic, the con- ference declared.
 Resolutions were adopted asking a substantial reduction'' in present freight rates, advocating congress sional action to remove doubt as to state Jurisdiction over state railroad rates in agricultural districts, in- of federal reserve bank discount rates and services. urging reduction of federal reserve bank discount rates in agricultural didstricts in- dorsing the movement for limitation of armaments, and asserting that the government of the United States should collect the interest on its foreign loans annually.
 Governor Blaine expressed dissat- isfaction with the original form in which the resolution urging vindica-
 
 was cast. It said state jurisdiction should stand except where rate rul- ings would injuriousIy affect inter- state commerce. Such a limitation, the Wisconsin governor declared, would open the door to complete destruction of state powers since any action by a state railroad commits sion might conceivably be held in some degree to influence interstate traffior adversely
 The conference finally worded the resolution so as to make it a simple request to congress for removal oi doubt as to the right of the several states to exercise control over state rates and service.
 The resolution demanding lower interest rates was introduced yes terday by Governor McKelvin of Ne braska. declared the war finance corporation. by rules it has promul- ! gated to govern extensions of credit l under the agricultural credits act 1 has indicated that it believes nearly | three years will be required to fully l liquidate agricultural loans. It saiC 1 great benefits will result from tht work of the corporation, provided tho ! billion dollar credit fund is properly 1 administered. The resolution urge: l that the federal reserve banks in thu agricultural districts reduce the in | terest rates to five per cent.
 Governor N. F. Kendall of Iowa who called the conference. was spon. 1 sor both of the resolution on dis armament and that relating to col lection of interest on foreign loans The former declared the conference views with high approval the move me tod Inv president for limitation of arma
 ments, and hopes the approachinl
 conference may accomplish mucl
 toward relieving the world Of tn
 burden of oppressive military estab

A. J. Baunaert, T.
 General Manager
 Of Tucson Citizen

Andrew J. Baumert. Jr.. will leave tonight for Tucson to take the post of general manager for the Tucson Citizen, succeeding Oliver B. Jaynes. who has been acting general manager since the death of his brother. Allan E. Jaynes, who had built up that paper within the last 12 years. It is coincidence that Mir Baumert also succeeded to the Republican national committee manship on the death of Mir. Jaynes about a year ago.
 The principal owner of the Citizen is Frank H. Hitchcock, former postmaster general. who. with James Williams. former civil service commissioner and now editor of the Boston Transcript, acquired an interest in the Citi- zen in 1908. MT. Williams for four years was editor and general manager of the paper. Mir Jaynes was business manager during that time.
 Mr. Baumert has had no ex- perience in the newspaper busi- ness though he is versed in other business lines and for several years has occupied a foremost place in the Republican politics of the state. Previous to his appointment as national commit teeman he was state chairman. ' It is stated that no other changes in the Citizen are ex- pected Mir. Jaypes, the acting general manager. will retain the position of business manager. and A. H. Lyon. who has been editor of the paper for the last three years, will remain in, that position.
 Mir. Baumert by reason of this change will not divorce himself from Phoenix, though he will spend the greater part of his time at Tucson. His family will remain in Phoenix.
