WHO PAYS THE FREIGHT

Passenger fares on the railroads
are higher right now-the highest
they have been since we had rail.
roads in this country-and freight
rates are also at the high mark. It
has to be a matter of great impor.
tnce before an ordinary man thinks
he can afford to take a trip on the
railroad. 49,.
But all over the land we see
heavy freight trains go up and
down the tracks with the cars load
ed to their capacity, hauling freight
for somebody. The railroads are 60
ing to collect charges of somebody
for every cal. of this, or they would
never move it a mile. :.
|: bid you ever stop to. think what
is in those cars, and just why =. they
are moving night and day, in long
trains in every direction?, Did you
every: stop to think out of whose
purse the money must come to pay
these freight charges?.' y
Lets take a single item and con-
slider it for a moment. Nearly every
body who has, been near a freight
station in this section will admit
that. hay is. one of: these items: A
great many big truck loads were
hauled through the streets of Mari
eta last week, and it was western
hay, too, coming from Nebraska
perhaps. The freight on a single
car is more than hundred dollars,
and the brokers and middlemen
must have gotten another hundred
out of the car. Add to this the price
the Nebraska farmer got for the
hay in his own market, and you
have the price some Cobb county
folks are now paying for hay.
Now hay is just grass-good .cul-
tivated grassland it grows in Cobb
county without the least interfer-
ence of the boil weevil.
The Journal does not propose to
answer its own question, if the an
swer is not seen in the above re-
Elections. This much IS clear how
ever:
The Nebraska farmer gets pay
for the hay, the middleman gets his
hundred dollars commission, the
railroad gets its hundred dollars
freight, and the Georgia farmer
gets in debt.-Marietta journal. :

COAL PERIL IS NOW
THREATENING U. S.

Washington, April 8.-The next
big problem to be tackled by the
Harding administration following
the railroads, is that Of coal.
In the opinion Of many Of Hard
ing's advisers, including Herbert
Hoover, secretary Of commerce, the
coal problem Is second only>to that
of the railroads and is as direct q
barrier to q heaAthful condition OF
industry. ....,-.s
Necessity for early action with re.
spect to coal is emphasized by the
strike of British miners. =
"a strike in the British coal in
dustry," one member Of the cabinet
declared today, means an ,i,mmedi.
ate incerase in the demand for Am.
erican coal for export. $685.. .
s'The reaction, from an increased
export demand is an immediately
stimulated market in this country,
due to pancky buyers, who fear both
higher prices and shortage in sup
ply. @.,,., :.
"These two influences are certain
to send prices up and open the doc.
to a resumption Of profiteering and
| Of shortages, either real or manipu.
lated, unless proper precaution are
taken ... t.-.' .
One proposal to be urged energeti.
cally in the administration from
within the official family will be the
allowance Of differentials, either in
mine prices or in railroad rates.. t<
large users Of coal who arrange te
| accept and store coal during the
periods when the demand on The
mines is lowest. >. .A-. .,
i
zone Of the chief difficulties Oh
the coal problem" this official says
H'is the seasonal character Of produc'
Ftion. The average miner works, nor
mally, only about 200 days year
The mines produce only as they haV4
orders or can get cars. -..:.:>
"If production could be spread out
equally throughout the year, by ths
storage Of coal in seasons Of slacl
demand, both the coal production
and the transportation difficultie:
would be immensely relieved. =
"Bituminous coal deteriorate.
rapidly above ground but may bt
kept in perfect condition if stored
under water. -,c I
"It would not be an expensive
proposition for many of the largest
users Of coal, particularly the metal
urgical industries, to provide water
storage for large amounts of coal
That-or some similar solution
must be adopted to stabilize produc.
sion througout the year and equalize
The load on the railroads. y
"Some provision must he made Of
course to equalize the cost. of coal to
the industry that stores it with the
one that receives it only as it can
be used. That, / believe; might
properly be taken care OF by diff.
ferential in the freight rate-coal
going into storage moving at rate
sufficiently lower than shipments for
current use to offset the the ex.
pense involved by storage.
"Our coal problem today is second
only to that of transportation with
which it is complicated and virtually
part.
eff this country is to get firmly
on it's feet again economically, if in
dustry is not to be strangled, we
have got to find our way out of the
woods with both of them--and that

FIRST TARIFF WAS
ENACTED IN 1898
Old Files Reveal Many Interesting
Faets Concerning Tariff
Measures

Measures
Washington, April 9.-Many
musty oddity Of forgotten tariff
statutes has been turned up by a
search Of the capital achieves. This
has disclosed that the first congress
assembled under the Constitution
faced the same problem as will the
Sixty-Seventh when it meets week
|hence-that of enacting tariff
|law. ...-
The first tariff act was passed on
July 4, 1889. Its formal title state
ment of. purpose-"for laying a
duty on goods, wares, and merchan-
disc imported into the United States
carried a bluntness which states.
ben. for the next hundred years were
to avoid. .. o.. e. .,.a -, -
It is necessary for the support
of the government" this first con.
ress said, "for the discharge Of
debts Of the United States and for
the encouragement and protection
of manufacturers that duty be laid
upon goods, wares and merchandise
imported, g ,.-.1 g d.. -~'.. -
It,was just 100 years the eompils-
ton shows, before such a straight
forward statement Of purpose about
encouraging and protecting. mann.
facturers' would be made again in
an import tax statute, through the
purpose was most evidently behind
most Of the scores Of following acts.
So simple was the first bill that it
required only two pages Of the COM
mittee print against more than 100
for the Payne-Aldrich: act of 1909.
Too simple, it probably was, for a
year later-August 10, 1790-Con-
gress passed "An Act making fur
ther provision for the payment of
debts Of the United States. -
! More deftly the purpose of the
tariff bill as it passed on March 2,
1892, was stated to be for the
raising Of a farther sum of money
for the protection Of frontiers,' -
evading any remarks about 'protec-
ton Of frontiers" evading any re
marks about protection of indus
tries. It's duties were increases, and
one duty imposed was ION coal, per
bushel, four and one half cents"
Two years later the famous
|Tripoli troubles arose and congress,
on March 26,1794 can Act to pro-
tect the commerce and seamen of
the United States against the Bar
berry powers" This act slapped on a
general increase of 2 1-2 and 10
per cent ad valorem duties. The sta
tute stated itself to be temporary,
for one year, but the title proved to
be too good to be wasted. Year by
year, after, clear up to 1913, con-
gress reiterated it's laudable purpose
re-enacted it's increased schedules,
and announced it was going after
the Barbary pirates with continuS
ton of the tariff for another twelve
month.
In. 1913, however, the nation
went to war with. Great Britain, and
in hasty and brief paragraph of
statute, congress announced "an ad-
ditional duty to be collected for the
duration of hostilities. The tax on
imported salt, incidentally, got up to
20 cents a pound.
This was about the end of the
early tariff \ era, according to the
compilation. For. the next forty
years, most of the acts were labelled
"to reduce duties" This they plain
ly did, for the salt tax was placed at

NOTE OF HUGHES
BEING STUDIED
Four Government. Carefully Ex.
anime Text-May Reopen
Subject.

Washington, April S.-oecreIai5
Hughes notes to Japanese, British
French and Italian governments on
mandates are being interpreted
abroad, according to information in
diplomatic circles here as stating an
advanced position Of the American
government. Some diplomats who
have studied the text Of the COM
nsunication to Great Britain, as
made public by the state depart
ment are apprehensive that it may
be considered as reopening the
whole subject of mandates.
Full exchanges between the four
governments are expected before
any one Of them replies to Mr..
Hughes. In the opinion Of some dip
foinats here Japan's attitude will de-
tern,ine the position to be taken by
Great Britain and France and pos
sibly Italy. This is based upon the
agreement entered into by Great
Britain and France with Japan in
1886 before the United States en-
tered the war whereby Japan was to-
receive the German islands in the
Pacific north Of the equator. !, =
This agreement it Isl explained
was made when the activities Of the
German submarines demanded a re
enforcement <of the entente naval
forcs beyond their own resources to
meet, and too the opinion is ad-
vanced that since Japan fulfilled her
part Of thes contract Great Britain
rand France feel bound to carry out
the agreement if japan insists. If
Japan is willing to modify its posi-
ton with regard to these islands,
and particularly the island Of Yap,
however, the view OF diplomatic OBJ
servers here is that the European
allied governments will gladly ae-
cept that solution.
In a way the present situation is
regarded as somewhat similar to
that obtained when Italy insisted
upon invoking the treaty Of London
in justification of her claims in the
Adfiaeic section. Both Great Britain
and France sought to induce Italy to
ahrogate her claims in the matter Of
Fiume but let it be known that if,
italy insisted they would execute
provisions of the treaty Of: London
obnoxious as were those of to- the
United States. .s.i. :.
The Adriatic situation was settled
through direct negotiations and
;Jugo slavia and it was thus found
unnecessary to invoke the pro
visions of the secret treaty. made by
the European allies before the Uni
ted States became belligerent. In
the case Of the treaty Of London it
was: asserted that President Wilson
was ignorant of its existence before
his arrival in Paris for the peace
conference but the entente ;conten-
tion is understood to be that the ina
ture and extent of the agreement
with japan was known in Japan,
