Chancellor Wrth apparently is de
termined to force Germany 10 fulfil
her obligations to the allies. In
speech before the reichstag he SCI
forth the economic rules and policie.
through which, he believes, the Ger
man nation can pay its debts and We
maintain economic stability and In
dependence. He intends not only Il
keep up with the payments as the,
fall due, but TO keep ahead of them.
THE sums to be paid in rppara
TONS he declared "can be extract
ed only by creating an economic bal
ance. We must increase our produc.
ton and reduce our expenses to the
utmost In our manufactures. We
must limit all imports, especially hlxu.
ries, as far as possible through customs
tax measure. TO this end we should
have sovereignty over our customs
borders.
Agriculture must be brought to It's
highest capacity, Systematically. Ami.
mails must be replaced by motors, say.
Ing fodder. Acreage must be increased.
and the cultivation of swamps and
deserts must be undertaken at the
earliest moment, thus providing work
for those out Of employment The
sword has been broken. We must
work"
The chancellor foreshadowed high
er corporation tax, bourse tux. an
inheritance tax. landed property tax
and n tax on certain securities, in ad.
dition to an increase In direct taxes.
Before the congress of the Com.
munist party In Moscow Premier
Lenin laid his economic program,
which was supported by Minister OF
Agriculture Millutin and approved by
the gathering. The policy as outlined
includes:
/. Collection from the peasants OF a
liked amount of grain by system Of
tax In kind, estimated by Milutin to
amount to about one-thlrd OF the crop
The other two-thlrds of the crop IA to
remain at the disposal Of the peasant
'or grading through the newly restored
'o-operatives, whose power is to be ex.
ended.
2. Retention In the hands of the
state Of the largest industries and
means of transportation, particularly
he leather, salt and textile industries.
These latter are turning out manu-
actured goods now most needed by
he peasants. They are to be speeded
~ In order to satisfy the peasants
leeds, and the workmen are to be en-
outraged by bonus system and other
Inducements which will increase pro-
uctlon. Supervision Is to be under

eretofore.
3. encouragement Of small and me-
lum co-operatives and private indus.

The federal railway labor board has
announced the wage reduction that
goes into effect on July l, when the
national agreements are abrogated.
The average wage cut Is to be II per
cent and this eventually will reduce
the pay rolls of the 10i roads affected
by $iOO,OOO0OO year. The board
In its decision sets up new uniform
wage scales for all groups of employ
ees, and these will later apply to every
road In the country. The abrogation
OF the national agreements, 1t Is be-
lleved, may save the roads an addi-
tional $3O0,0O0000 yearly. In labor
circles II had been feared greater
wage reduction would be ordered by
the board; hence II is predicted the
action may arouse little open 0ppo-
sition. The chiefs of the railway
unions reserved comment.
The day after the boards ruling
was made public President Harding
surprised the interstate commerce
commission by calling at Its office for
a conference on freight rate reduc-
tion, which he deems of vital impOr-
tance in the restoration OF business. |
He made clear his desire In this line.
but II was evident that he would have
to overcome strong opposition. The
cabinet agrees with the President that
prohibitlve transportation rates large
ly account for the stagnation Of busl.
ness and the continued high price OF
the necessities Of life.
Chairman Clark of the interstate
commerce commission and Senator
Cummins, chairman of the senate COM
nttee on Interstate commerce, agree,
However, with the railroad executives,
Who contend that rates cannot be re-
luced generally until 1t has been
'roved that railroad expenses can be
ut to point assuring an adequate
eturn on the investment.

N, 6. COMPANY OF
 ALASKA FORMED; OLD FIRM QUITS
Volney Richmond, J. D. Reagh and Others Will
 Carry on Big Business.

The old Northern Commercial Com pany, famous throughout the North for it's connection with the commer- cial and shipping business of both Al aska and the Yukon Territory, will cease to exist as an organization on January 1, 1922, according to Frank Wiseman, who was formerly agent for that company at Iditarod and who is returning to Interior Alaska on the Northwestern after four month trip to the States. The old company will be succeeded by the Northern Commercial Company Of Alaska which will operate all the disposedstof by the old company, said Mr. Wiseman 4W .aol
 Stockholders in the new firm are men who have been intimately con. nected with Alaskan business houses for many years. As actual head of the organization and in charge of the buying for all stations will be Volney Richmond, who has been gen eral manager of the old N C. Com pany for number of years, prior to that time being manager of company stores at several Interior points, in cluding the big store at Fairbanks. Others interested in the new com pany include J.. D.. Reagh. Albert Daub. o. M. Dickey of the old Do minion Commercial Company, George c. Preston, now manager of the Fair banks agency; J. A. Donald, and other old-timers in the company's Al aska service for years.
 The new company, said MT Wise. man, will take over the Dawson sta tion. which was purchased several months ago by MT Richmond and Mir Donald. In addition it plans to operate stations at Circle, Panama, Hot Springs. Nenana, Fairbanks, Ruby, McGrath, 'Unalakleet and St Michael Mir. Wiseman will be in charge of the Unalakleet and St. Michael agencies and will go there at once after his arrival at Fair banks
 Headquarters of the N C. Com pany of Alaska will be moved to Se- attle about January 1. with MT. Rich mond in actual charge. It will take some time to get under way and it is not expected that the offices and rooms will be open before April. The company's quarters will be located in the Tacoma building.
