given hearing Monday before Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes on the
proposed regulations covering the man.
ufacture and distribution Of wine for
religious purposes. The churchmen had
made formal protest against rules pro-
hibiting the distribution by wholesale
liquor dealers, contending that the
churches were unable to get their
standard wines from wholesale drug
gists. Tentative new regulations would
permit bonded manufactures of sacra-
mental wine to distribute their own
product, but would not allow them to
deal in the products of other manu-
facturers.

Detroit, Mich.-"The time has come
when all railroads should reduce their
aoeal freight rates. Henry Ford said
Tuesday, in discussing the 20 per cent
slash effective August 20 on his own
road, the Detroit, Toledo & Iron.
"0ther things have gone down in pro-
portion and there is no reason why
railroads should hold up their prices"
he declared. 1f
Washington-Two million farmers
affiliated with the national board of
farm organizations are marshaling
their influence to force all railroads to
follow the example of Henry Ford and
reduce freight rates. Secretary Lyman
of the board announced Tuesday.
Lyman appIauded Ford's action Mon
day in asking the Ohio utilities COM
mission to reduce freight rates 20 per
cent on the Ford railroad. the Detroit,
Toledo & Ironton.
Freight rates reductions would
slash the cost of food to the city con-

Senator Kenyon Tuesday planned to in
troduce in congress petition signed
by more than 200O farmers demanding
freight rate reductions. The petition,
addressed to congress and President
Harding, was presented to Kenyon by
p. A. Hough as president of the Iowa
Farmers union. According to the petit
ton, approximately $1,7O0,000,OOO now
could be cut from the operating costs
of the roads.
This would more than pay the pei
cent return, lack of which now pre-
vents the roads from making general
rate reductions, railroad officials say
This return is more than $1,000 0OO,0Ot
a year on approximately $19,000,OOO,

mission, which is S5,GO0,000,O00 above
the actual replacement cost. If thu
valuation were reduced to the actua
value of stocks and bonds outstanding
at least S300,O0O000 a year might b.
saved, the farmers charge.
Other ways in which they say saw
ings could be made in operating cost
are these:
