Montgomery, January 16.-(Special.)- )- Associates of Sam P. Kennedy, retiring president of the Alabama public service commission, enacted an interesting lit tie play in the office of the commits mission yesterday when they presented Mir Kennedy with a cane and an um- brella as d small indication of the ap- preciation of the association and their friendship during the long period MT. Kennedy has been connected with the office.
 S. P. Gaillard of Mobile, associate commissioner made the presentation in short spech during which he referred to the harmony which has prevailed during the six years the present com- mission has been in office, a harmony which he referred to as marvellous when one cosniders that the associate com missioners came from a political faction opposite that of Mir Kennedy He said harmony had prevailed because the members of the commission were al ways willing to hear the others, to com promise where compromises were proper and to admit error if convinced of the correctness of another position
 MT. Kennedy, wherever you go," MT Gaillard said, "carry with you the thought that your associates on this commission and the employees of the commission, with whom you have been associated so many years, have enjoyed the years we have been together"
 MT. Kennedy responded with the dec laration that the expression of friend ship given by MT. Gaillard in behalf ot the associate commissioners and em- ployes was worth defeat. He said he had never obtained more enjoyment from anything than he had from the as- sociation with those who look after the work of the commission and that the time would never come when he would forget this friendship.
 The presentation ceremony was ar ranged without the knowledge of MT Kennedy The commission had been in executive session for some time in an effort to reach decisions in cases now pending. Atticus Mullin. secretary oi

In other words, New York, by shipping through the Panama canal, l is appropriating the Pacific coast mar kets because of the inability of St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago, solely dependent on railroads, to compete. The advantage possessed by New York will be further extended when the Congress shortly after the inaug Ira- tion of President Harding eliminates the canal tolls as applied to vessels flying the American flag.
 The problem is one that is so big that no programme for it's solution has been devised The Congress, in a great majority, is against government own ership Or even government supervf- sion and operation.

NATION REQUIRING
 CRAFTSMANSHIP ID
 HANDLE RAILROADS
President WiIIard's Suggestion That Trunk Lines Absorb Smaller Roads Gets
 Attention
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Ase-HeraId
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, January 16.-(Special) The members of Congress who does not believe that as an ultimate propo- sition, the railroad problem is the greatest confronting the nation is an exception.
 At the present time, by the operat- ing of exceedingly high rates. the rail- roads are distressing the producers and shippers and, of course, the con- sumers. If the rates are abolished and new and greatly reduced schedules { put into effect there is the danger of the railroads going to the wall, and effectively demoralizing the country.
 That the burden on the people night be alleviated that the railroads, by their own strategy might operate et a reasonable profit, and that govern ment ownership might not be resorted to, one suggested scheme is receiving great consideration. President Will lard of the Baltimore & Ohio sugg ssts that the great trunk lines be permitted to absorb the smaller lines. and apply to such small lines the efficiency which has characterized the operation Of the big lines. It is believed that ii that plan is adopted, the trunk lines would not resort to ihdue pooSt- ble by the elimination of competition because they would be aware that un> less they succeeded and satisfied the people, government ownership would be a positive alternative.
 SHIPPER IN BAD WAY
 At the present time. railroad rates are so high that a producer living a great distance from market is some> times forced to pay more for freight than his product will sell for. Senator Trammell of Florida, as heretofore re- ported, has introduced a bill reducing from 5h to per cent the earning . power of railroads. If the amendment prevails, rates will be reduced in ac- cordance with the reduced percentage. Senator Trammell contends that as citrus fruits, vegetables and other products of southern states are retail- ing at pre-war prices, it is inconsist~ ent that railroads be permitted to earn on a postwar scale.
 Representative Oliver of the Sixth Alabama district, who has given con siderable study to the railroad prob lem, declares today that timber inter- ests of the south are representing 10 all southern members that freight charges from Alabama and GeorgIag 70 Washington or Philadelphia are so great that to pay them shippers raust expend more than their lumber sells for.

HOweI Edwards, Jr., the 3-month- old son of Mir. and Mrs. E. H. Ed- wards of AnnistOn, has been ap- pointed chairman of the Baby's bri- gade, an association formed of every baby under a year old in the south to help Herbert Hoover in his collection for the 100000 starving children in Europe.
 Every baby is urged, through his parents, to contribute what he can, even if it be only a Decent piece, and to remember that $1 will feed starving baby for il month, and that S10 will save his life.
 He is asked even to go without new bonnet or pair of socks and to send the sum saved to the state chairman, European relief council.
 It is estimated that if all the babies in America club together for this emergency, nearly 100000 babies in Central Europe will be saved from starvation.
