Traffic

The transportation tax is an ap-
preciable and an Objectionable ele-
ment in present high freight rates.
There has been reason to expect
abatement Of this tax The govern
ment can promote business in this
direction as effectually as in any
other. 1t must be recognized that
railroad rate reduction, however
brought about, is no panacea for the
ills Of business. II is merely one Of
many partial remedies.
Attention is turned toward the
Ohio state public utilities commits
sions investigation into freight rates
on road building materials and it's
intended inquiry into rates on farm
products, fertilizers, implements. and
so on. If the railroads do not vOlun-
tarily reduce rates on these commod-
tiles within the state, It is expected
that the commission Will take steps
TO relieve the shipper. The railway
commission Of Canada has intimated
that an early reduction in freight
there is in prospect, and agitation is
spreading in this country for a gem
eral downward revision of railroad
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1921-08-21

schedules. The question arises
whether any substantial reduction IN
rates Will involve a further reduc-
ton IN wages.
Earnings OF the carries have
shown decided Improvement within
the past few months and July is ex-
pected 10 set a new high record for
the year, due TO the heavy grain
movement and the IL per cent wage
reduction put into effect on July l.
Railroad earnings, Il must be re-
membered, are substantial thus far
only by comparison with the deficits
OF a year ago. Few companies can
show any considerable percentage
on their stocks. On the other hand,
traffic has increased and further
gains might put earnings far above
their present level.
Railroad credit IS undoubtedly
improving and steady appreciation
Is prophecied for rail stocks. The
public has absorbed 1912, OOO, 900 in
railroad stocks and bonds this year,
evincing confidence IN the future in
tegrity OF the carriers. The presi-
dent is insistent upon speedy pas
sage OF the Railroad Funding bill.

MANUFACTURE.

Stocks continue to diminish and
the shortage of goods on hand to fill
rush orders is disquieting IN some
instances. This shortage will COM
pei a revival OF manufacturing ac-
tivity before long. Factories are re-
opening here and there in numbers
that would loom quite large in the
aggregate. and a comparatively few
lines are occupied to capacity, re-
fiecting the increase in demand. The
country has certain minimum re-
quirements which assure a fair
amount Of business even during a
period of world depression and dis
tress.
If the American people buy what
they need, the demand will insure
activity in every staple line. Pro-
Gucers have reduced their costs ma
terially and are in more favorable
position than a year ago. The COM
ing year is sure to bring keen COM
petition and moderate prices for
manufactured articles-mOderate as
compared with top war prices. Man
lfacturers must eliminate needless
waste, install modern equipment,
and increase operating efficiency at
every point I'm order TO meet com
petition successfully.
Easier money is expected TO have
q stimulating effect on business.
Free capital always seeks profitable
employment. and as funds accumu-
late enterprise Will find ways of
putting il at work. The industrial
pulse should quicken noticeably as
q result Abundant credit and a
healthy investment market always
encourage the formation OF new
companies to engage in industrial
pursuits AS yet credit is by no
means abundant, but continued
liquidation will release much capt.
tal fer other purposes.
Industrial revival is self-perpetu-
atiuE and usually proceeds at an &C
celebrating pace. Prosperity becomes
general just as now depression is
complete. Some we'll directed i'm

Prices almost invariably revive In
the livestock market when growers
curtail shipments after each slump.
Quality cattle and hogs OF desirable
weight have maintained their foot
ing on higher ground than during
months previous. Continued liberal
runs or southwestern grassers Rave
necessarily depressed this branch Of
the trade. A dearth OF good cornfed
cattle Is expected during the next

freshening. but the Improvement Is

Andrews, Oct. 18.-H. N. Wallace,
United States secretary of agricul-

made the presentation of the $500
farmers medal at the tri-county fair
to the best farmer of the three coun-
ties. The medal was won by T. M.
Cathcart of near Kingstree.
Secretary Wallace urged farmers
not to be discouraged but push for
ward in their efforts to overcome
effects of the boil weevil. He was
glad to see such a varied exhibit at
the fair and was glad to learn more
of Southern agriculture. This is his
first visit to the South in 80 years.
A. F. Lever presented to Mrs.
John Singleton of Berkeley county a
silver pitcher. This was presented to
the housewife making the greatest
Improvement in her kitchen.

The government said, we will not
negotiate with you until you quit
striking;' and at the end of IA days
they were glad to lay down their
arms and glad to come back to work
and glad to resume their duties, as
they did. l venture to say that that
experience of IA days was such a
lesson to them that they will never
again call strike.
"Mr. President, / am getting tired
of these strike threats. With that
matter in view that came under my
observation, l do not know but that
it would be a good thing for the
country if these railroad men should
start on a strike. Let the people Of
this country once for all understand
what these men mean by striking;
Let the people realize that they will
be deprived of their food supply,
their fuel, and everything else. If
these men ever embark on strike
that leads to such results, venture
the prediction that the American
people will rise in their might and
wipe them from the face of the earth.
