EXPRESS RATE JUMP
D|SALLONED;; ABOVE
DESIRED BASIS NOW
State Railroad Commission of
Opinion Source of Deficit
Is Place to Raise.

Helena, Aug. 5.-The Montana rail-
road commission has denied an in
crease of rates in the state, applied for
by the American Railway Express
company, it was announced Friday by
E. G. Toomey( secretary and attorney
for the commission.
No proof was made by the COM
pany, the commission says in it's de-
cision, that although the concerns S
deficit in the nation is startling, the
Montana rates, already the highest in
the country, are not yielding an ade-
quate return.
An increase of 26 per cent in intra-
state express charges was asked by the
company, the same as the Interstate
Commerce commission has granted for
interstate traffic.
The company has also asked for a
reclassification Of its commodities.
This is also denied.
At the hearing at the capitol on May
25 various shippers of the state ap-
peared and contended that increased
express rates would further imperil
stantially increase the cost of many
to the consumer.
The company presented virtually the
same case to the Montana commission
which it will present before the Inter
state commission in appealing from the
rate reflections by several states.
The express company makes the con-
tention, it appears. that the express
rate should be double that of the first
class freight rate. The commission
points out that the Montana express
rate structure more nearly meets this
contention than the structures in some
Of the states where the express ad-
vance has been granted. The present
Montana express charges, the commits
sion says, bear the relation of 2O9.8
per cent to present freight rates.
In North Dakota, where the increase
mas been allowed, the relation is 1903
per cent and in Washington 1907 per
cent.

AIR SERVICE Of
ARMY To TEST
BOMBING GRAF I
Fliers Hope to Add
New Usefulness of
Craft in War.

Washington. Aug. 5.-(By The AS
sociated ess).-An independent
bombing enterprise against naval craft
is being planned by the army air SER
vice. With the old battleship Alabama
as target and using missiles up to
1000 in weight, the army fliers hope
to add new chapter to the inter-
service controversy which recently re-
suited in destruction from the air of a
number of former German war ses-
sells.
The Alabama was selected for the
victim following request of the army
for target ship. Acting Secretary
Roosevelt has announced that the navy
department is dismantling the vessel
and will be ready to turn her over
to the land and air warriors about
September l.
With the event exclusively an army
affair. it was said Friday at air SER
vice headquarters, efforts would be
made to simulate actual battle condi-
tions when the Alabama comes under
fire.
The army men were not hopeful that
they could obtain radio control equip
ment for her as was successfully en-
ployed on the battleship Iowa during
icecent bomb tests. 1t is hoped, how
'ever, to have the ship in motion. prob
ably under tow, when the army air men
open their attack.

that Ataman was rendered assist

the attitude Of the Japanese command
with regard to Semienoff's flight, Cap

japanese command advised the Alta

orders. The japanese command did
not render any assistance to Semie-

about the Ataman's departure, only
when he had left the city.

effect that the japanese command as

FEDERAL BOARD
HELPED BANKS
Says HARDING
Declares Policies Were
Drawn to Prevent a
National Failure.
Tells Committee Board
Had Not Thought to
Influence Prices.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Reserve poll
cies of 1919 and 1920 were formulat-
ed solely to prevent the country s
banking system from collapsing and
were successful in their object, Gov
ernor Harding of the reserve board
declared today in closing two-days'
appearance before a joint congress
sional commission. TO questioners he
repeated the board had not thought to
influence prices either up or down, but
had prepared to meet a worldwide
price break and maintain and expand
credit lines.
Fearful of Prices.
There was bare possibility, he said,
that if in 1919 the reserve board had
raised national rediscount rates, 'the
runaways in prices might have been
checked and the result might have been
BETTER but he mentioned needs of the
government financing as influential in
determining tie course taken. Rep
resentative Sumner, Democrat. Texas,
suggested that ''the word might have
gone out from the board to bankers
to be fearful of prices, "but Governor
Harding said that nothing had been
done inconsistent with this statement.
1t was not good time to be talk
ing too much-in 1921" he remarked,
but we can be bolder now
Want Independent Credit.
"All over the country. we learn that
agricultural and livestock interests find
they need more credit facilities" he
said, land want something to make
themselves independent of banks. The
farmers credit horizon is necessarily
limited and local. Any man hesitates
about getting the government in busi-
ness and we cannot use the reserve
system for that, because it's funds are
essentially reserve funds. but l con-
slider there is possibility that the
farm loan banks might be extended to
meet the need.
