Small Chance Early
Reduction in Freight
Rates of Railroads

Washington, March 8.-The general
railroad situation affords little pros
pect of general decreases in freight
rates, Chairman Clark of the Inter
state Commerce Comrniss ion, today in
formed Senator Harris of Georgia.
Replying to letter from Senator
Harris inquiring as to the possibility
of reduction in freight charges.
Chairman Clark said:
THE situation is not so good now
as it was in December. There has been
a subs tantial falling off in general
traffic. The average operating ratio of
the railroads of the United States is
something over 80. That means that
for every dollar that the railroads
earn they pay out in operating ex-
penses more than 90 cents.
'Dut to the narrow margin between
revenue and operating expenses and
fixed charges. good many are not
even earning their Operating expenses
Under these circums tances it is diff
cult to find an argument in favor of
reducing rates, unless in instances
in which it can be shown that the rates
are sitting the traffic and that lower
rates which would still be compensate
ry would affect movement from
which there would be some returns"

Two Killed in
Chicago Political Feud

Chicago, March 8.-A reign of law
lessness. declared to have been the
outcome of political feud, which has
terrorized one of the most denseIy
populated wards in the city for weeks,
today ended in the assassination of two
of Alderman John Powers political
i!eutenants.
Paul Labriola, a municipal court
bailiff, was the first victim. He was
shot from ambush a block from his
home just before noon. He fell with
nine bullets through his back.
Harry Raymond. cigar store own
er, was killed two hours later by two
men who had entered his store to buy
cigars. Two bullets pierced his head
and two others penetrated his lung.
Both shootings took place in a Sec
ton known as Death Valley in the
18th ward and were ascribed by the po-
lice to the feud between the Powers
faction and that Of Anthony D'Andrea,
who was defeated by Powers for al
derman last month.
The election campaign was marked
by great bitterness and violence, in

FUNDAMENTALS OF GOVT"
Subject Presented in a Most Inter
estins Manner by State Grange
Master w. J. Thompson at Meet
ing Of Augusta League of Women
voters

THE Fundamentals of Government
was the subject of a most instructive
and interesting address given(by Hon.
w. J. Thompson. master of the State
Grange, at a largely attended meeting
of the Augusta League of Women vot-
ers held Tuesday evening at the AS
sembly hall of the Y. NJ. c. A. building.
The session was presided over by Mrs.
Augustus o. Thomas.
Atthe close of a short business ses-
sion Mr.. Thompson was introduced In
opening his address he pointed out
that in the early history Of the country
the functions of governmentrthe
schools. the roads and the care of the
poor-were placed in the towns and the
towns, in turn made the schools and
roads district functions. From dis
trict functions they are becoming
more and more state and national
functions. And the speaker told OF the
danger of changing the school and
road matters into national functions,
these dangers including the getting
away from the local management of
these functions by self-government and
the giving into the hands of the ma jor-
ity the spending of the money which
might then be spent in other sections
from where it was most needed.
He spoke of the rapid increase in
taxes and of the federal budget esti-
mated at $4,000, 10000 for the next
two years. This would amount to a
tax of about $40 per inhabitant of the
United States. The State. county and
town tax would amount to about $35
per inhabitant making the total tax
SIS per inhabitant or $500 per family
in the State.
Mr.. Thompson's address held the
close attention Of his audience and
was given warm applause.

Daylight Saving
Schedules Planned
by N. E.. Railroads

Boston, March Slime tables on
New England railroads will largely
reflect daylight saving changes in
the late spring and summer if Mas
sachusetts puts the regulation into

Haven & Hartford railroad, has al
ready announced that it will make
it's schedules conform to daylight saw
ing and officials of the Boston ami
Maine and the Boston & Albany rail-
roads indicated today that they also
would readjust many trains.
In the case of the Boston & Maine
the situation was complicated by tho
action of New Hampshire in deciding
to stand by standard time, but with 8.
out defying the law there, General
Passenger Agent Grant said the road
would try and work out it's schedules
to effect the greatest convenience to
the greatest number. For Interstate
travellers this would mean in many
cases that trains would start on the
equivalent of daylight saving time
in places where standard time oh.
tains, ne said.
Schedules are still being drawn up
and will not be completed according
to Mr.. Grant until the conditions in
Massachusetts are decided upon aE.l
local option exercised at several New
York points.
The latter consideration affects the
Ecston & Albany schedules also bat

Madeleine Sokoloff, Violinist

This captivating young artist, like
most musical geniuses, manifested
her talent very early in life, begin
ming her musical education at the age
OF five. Her preference was for the
violin, and at the age Of ten she won
gold medal in Dublin against COM
petitors greatly her senior. She came
under the notice of Wilhelmy, the
eminent violin eirtuoso and peda-
gogue, and became his favorite pupil.
While under his tutelage she made~a
remarkably successful tour of tn
British Isles as child prodigy, play
ing before distinguished audiences in
large musical centres.
Later she continued her studies
with the great master, Hubay, in
Budapest, who recognized in her an
artist Of such promise that he said:
She will one day astonish and de-
Hight the world" She became his
favorite American pupil and through
his kindly interest and inspiration she
developed amazingly. He had ar
ranged to present her in London,
Berlin. and Paris, and other large
musical centres throughout Europe
for the following season, but with the
outbreak Of the war, she was COM
PEELED to return to America.
Since coming to America she has
won fiattering recognition from such
masters as Jacques Thibaud. Leo
pold Auer. zimbalist Victor Herbert,
Leopold Stokowski, and many others.
She has played with great success

ercised in matters affecting govern
ment expenditures.
The people generally must become
more interested In saving the gov
ernment's money than in spending It.
A thorough going national budget
system must be established and the
governments expenses brought into
relation to it's income"
'4The belief was expressed by the
new secretary. however, that the nrst
nine months of the fiscal year, or to
March 81, would show that the
Treasury had made ends meet with a
slight surplus to use against the great
war debt. Payments on the war debt
must necessarily be slow, he said, ex-
planning that the heavy payments to
the railroads would seriously hamper
previous plans to lower the debt.
The issues of certifications an
nounced will aggregate $400,00O,00
and will bear interest at S L. per
cent. half having a /haturity date OF
one year and the other half for six
months. Both issues will be accept
ed in payment of income and profits
taxes.
In notifying the bankers of the
issues, Mr.. Mellon said he felt 1t his
duty to inform them at the outset
Of his administration of the probable
requirements of the government in
the coming months and to say
something concerning its financial
program. He said that $500. 000, 900
in certificates must be paid off March
Is and an additional $11S.OO0,0 900 a
month later. Besides these needs
there is to be paid the semi-annual
interest on Liberty bonds on March
Is, payment of about $75. 900, 900.
The treasury also must make pay
ments to the railroads during March,
which Mr.. Mellon estimated at $500, :
O0O,O
Partially to offset the heavy out
go, the regular quarterly payment of
income and profits tax is due March
Is from which the treasury hopes to
realize approximately $500, 900, 900.
This tax payment, therefore. will be
used up in retiring the certificates
due on the same date. Funds OBJ
tanned from the new issue of certifi-
Gates then will become available
for caring for other debts Of which
the railroad payments and the small
previous issues of certificates con-
stitute the greatest amount.
Mr.. Mellon also. observed optimis-
tic signs in the general financial
quantities of government securities
were widely spread and that each
new issue of government paper was
being taken more largely by invest
ors. He cited market quotations on
treasury certificates showing that
they had been quoted at par or at a
premium as an indication of healthy
and sound finance. Those now held
by banks-treasury records showing
that many financial institutions
were heavy holders, are being grad
ually absorbed by real investors"
Mr.. Mellon said, adding that the sit
uation generally as regards the loans
required by the government was
much improved over conditions a
few months ago.
