DECREASED FREIGHT RATES

Black Diamond. There is still
considerable talk of the possibility
OF early reductions in freight rates
on coal. Apparently many coal buy
ers are convinced that the reduc-
lions are not only poshible. but prob
able, and that they will come at an
early date.
There Is little in the present rail-
road situation to substantiate this
belief. Il is admitted that the rates
are too high; that they discourage
buying, and increase to an abnormal
degree the cost of coal to the con-
sumner. 1t is equally true, however,
that the present rates have never
been given fair trial to show
whether or not they produced an alb
normal revenue to the roads.
The history Of wage adjustment
boards has shown that changes in
wages, either up or down, are
brought about only after long dis
cussion pro and con. 1t is certain
that railroad labor will not accept a
reduction with the grace they would
accept gift. They will fight such
an attempt with every means at their
command.
Struggles take time to settle. The
world war started with the an
nouncement that the German army
would be in Paris in fifteen days
and lasted four years. Too fire.
quently we base our judgment, So
called, upon our wishes, rather than
upon the facts which control condi-
tions. Those who look for an inn
mediate freight rate reduction on
coal are in this class.
The railroads themselves have an
nounced that there is no move at
present toward rate reduction,
barring the regular adjustment of
freight rates which is part Of the
ordinary routine of business. It took
eight months to get the present rates
into effect; it will in all probability
take at least an equal period of time
to get them reduced.
And in the meantime, should re-
auctions come even this fall, the
difference in freight rates then and
now will be more than offset in the
price of coal then and now. To
postpone buying coal at this time in
the hope of saving money on freight
later is to merely insure paying a
higher price for coal--a price suf-
ficiently higher TO more than wipe
out the freight rate saving, which at
best Is doubtful OF naturalization.

BANK TO BE RE-oRGANIzED
Anita People Have Full Confidence
in Bank Officials that Depos-
itors VIII Not Lose.

Reorganization OF the Citizens
Savings Bank of Anita which closed
its doors on che morning of May 10,
is seeming assured.
Two-thirds of the capital Of $751;
900 proposed for the new bank has
already been subscribed. The re-
mainder will be subscribed at once,
1t is said.
The reorganization is the result of
meeting held at the Masonic tenn
pie in Anita Saturday afternoon and
which was attended by several hun
dren people, including stockholders
and depositors OF the Citizens bank.
Among those present were represen-
tatives Of the state banking depart
ment.
The reorganized bank will have
working resources Of s205, 900, un-
der the tentative plans OF reorgan-
ization. This would include $751;
900 capital; $4,000 representing
the stock liability Of the stockhold-
ers of the Citizens bank, and $780,
900 capital and surplus Of the lat
ter.
The new bank would take over the
liabilities and assets of the Citizens
bank, thus doing away with the ne
cessity Of receivership and also as
surfing the depositors of the Citizens
bank 100 cents on the dollar.
Stockholders and depositors of the
Citizens bank are giving the plans
for reorganization unstinted sup
port. They are subscribing literally
to the capital of the proposed new
bank.
There is not the slightest doubt
but what the new bank will be go, !"
1t was said.
President Forshay, leaving his
sick bed, appeared before the meet
ing Saturday afternoon and explain
ed the situation as regards the clos
ed bank. For the last few days Mr..
Forshay has been confined to his
home by nervous breakdown.

TOBACCO AND COAL

There is conviction in this country
that the coal buiness is in the grip
OF an association which has attained
the status OF perfect fence--hog
tight, horse high, and bull strong.
A similar conviction prevails con-
corning tobacco trade. The tobacco
trust. was dissolved some years ago
by mandate of the supreme court.
Presumably there are now five big
tobacco operating concerns complete
ly independent OF each other and a
multitude of smaller concerns. 1t ap-
pears from the records that in this
case dissolution did not mean death.
1t seems that there is a myster-
ious stranger operating in this in
dustry. And year by year the small
Independent fellow is finding It more
difficult to do business.
The big cigar concerns are now OPP
Grating on new and modern plan
in Iowa, in both cities and country.
Their statesmen travel in autos and
carry their stocks with them. They
sell 20 customers one box or as many
as may be required and deliver the
goods on the spot. Their visits are
frequent enough so that stocks are
rarely depleted. In time the entire
country will be covered by the big
tobacco concerns with this delivery
with order service. Then the small
fry in the tobacco business will find
the picking even Simmer than It is
now.
These are not the only items that
are being gradually cornered by as
sociations or corporations or CO.
operative agreements which bring
about definite understanding as to
prices.
How the consuming public will
fare under these new dispensations
is q matter about which there is
much dispute To be certain in
these matters we shah Just have to
wait and see.--Nonpareii.

the President, but be able to place
their problems and suggestions be-
fore him and receive kind recep-
ton and close attention! 1t is a
mighty new experience for most of
the members and they not only like
1t, but the good 1t does is being re-
Elected in every phase of our govern
ment machinery.
Another mighty important thing
to remember, Jack, is this: 1t is
easy enough for you to listen to the
members of your team when they
bring You new ideas or ask that GER
tain things be done, so Iong as you
agree in your own r.ind that they
are in the right. It is easy then to
send them away feeling good. But
how about when you don't agree
and don't feel that what they sug-
gest is for the best? Then it is not
SO easy to send them away with a
smile.
But that is what President Hard
ing is doing. Even those men who
go to him for something and come
, away without Il, leave with a smile
because he has been courteous and
attentive and shown them that 1t
could not be done. The one big
thing to me that Mr.. Harding has
accomplished in so short a time is
that he has found a way to talk
things over with the leaders of the
house and senate, to get their views
and give them his own, letting them
know what he thinks best, and at
the same time, not becoming die
tator. Any man can sit up and say,
do that or do this and then go on
with something else. But to get
things done by friendly cooperation
is to be real leader. ana real
leader makes for team-work--and
teamwork means winning team.
THAT is why the United States is
going to win. We have needed
teamwork badly in the last few
years, and a leader instead of die
tator, for the rules OF this team will
not allow a dictator, the rules being
