on an annual basis. would have beer
largely in excess OF $4,000. 000--an in
crease, since the government took
charge Of railroad wages in the Adam
son act, of approximately S2,450,000,
900 annually.
In the light Of these figures, 1t is
manifest that the recent reduction oil
wages authorized by the labor board
estimated at from 10 to IL per cent
in no sense meets or solves the prob
lem OF labor costs and in no way
makes 1t possible for the railroads tc
afford reduction in their revenues
Thousands of Rates Already Reduced.
Indeed, during the past year there
have been between four and Ave thou,
sand individual reductions in freight
rates. On some railroads the reduc,
tions in rates have amounted to more
than the reductions in wages SO far
made, and on many other railroads
the reductions in wages allowed no
net return on operations, but merely
provided against the further accu.
mutation Of deficit.
The point is often made that agri
culture and other industries are also
suffering the same immediate Difficult
ties as the railroads, why, therefore,
do not the railroads take their medi
cine like anybody else?
The answer lies in several facts.
l. The railroads were not per.
mitted, as were other industries, to
make charges during the years OF
prosperity, making possible the accu,
mutation of surplus to tide them
over the present extreme adversely. |
According to the reports of the Inter.
state Commerce Commission, the rate
of return on property investment OF
the railroads Of the United States for
the past several years has been as

state has ever successfully practicet
nepotism, and none ever will, no mat
ter how high the office. There have
been many instances in times gone by
and almost WITHOUT exception the
consequences have been disastrous
Somehow, the people do not regard
the selection of relatives by eXecu-
tives with any favor, and it is of no
concern whether the appointees are
capable to fill the offices in question
Or not. 1t is a moral objection, rum
ming back in the public mind for many
generations, and no amount of white
wash or camoufage has ever served to
popularize the business Of filling Of
fees with relatives of the official hold
ing the appointing power. Mr.. Hyde
will experience the same condemnation
that has been visited upon other of
ficials.
Hyde's offenses are more fragrant
than any of those cases that have
aroused discussion heretofore. Look
ing back over twenty years of admin
istration in Missouri, the instances of
nepotism which have attracted public
notice, for the most part, have been in
the selection of relatives for clerk
ships and minor positions. Even this
was roundly denounced, and none was
more vigorous in denunciation than
the average Republican editor or or
ator. No Democratic official who
appointed his son, his daughter, his
brother, or any other relative to some
clerical post ever escaped pillorying at
the hands of the opposition. Hyde
has outdone them all. He has select
ed his brother for one of the most i'm
portant administrative offices in the
state, to head one of the bureaus of
the state that has to do with essen
tial business enterprises reaching in
to the life and affairs of every citi-
zen. 1t is absurd to say that none
other could fill the bill. 1t is ridicu-
lous to claim that his brother of the
Governor is the only man in the state
upon whom contending factions in the
insurance world could agree. 1t is an
open secret that the Governor had
promised his brother, in return for
favors, to appoint certain
Kansas City man insurance commits
sioner, by way of favoring a particu-
lar class of insurance companies.
When this was found to be altogether
too coarse the next best thing was
done, and the brother himself was
named. The appointment left bad
taste in the mouth of every citizen.
Favoritism extended to a banking
in which a relative is
financially interested is even worse,
and the appointment of brother-in-
law to virtual sinecure in a Depart
ment presumed to be partisan and
free from political control, is thor
oughly bad. Both performances Gre
ate the impression that the Governor
cares nothing about that measure of
,ircumspection supposed to attach to
he person of Governor. A public
office is not a private snap. and the
distribution of the states patronage
ought not to be family grabbing

EARLY DEVELOPMENTS SEEN
Definite Steps Between England

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August development in
the peace negotiations between Prime
Minister Lloyd George and leaders of
it was reported here today. but gov
ernment leaders refused to lift the
veil of secrecy. Certain deductions
were made from the arrival in Dub
lin yesterday morning of Art O'Brien.
president Of the Gaelic League. but
they could not be verified.
One rumor was to the effect that Mr..
O'Brien was the coureir who would take
the Sim Fein reply to Mr.. Lloyd George.
while another story declared that Eamon
de Valera would himself return to Lon
don during the coming week, and that
Sir James Craig. the premier Of Ulster,
was also coming to this city.
1t also was reported that members of
the Irish republican parliament, which
has been expected to meet during the
coming week, have made preparations to
receive a sudden call to Dublin, and the
ready to release imprisoned members OF
the republican parliament Immediately
after being apprised Of the date upon
which the parliament would meet.
1t was admitted in Sinn Fein quar-
ters that there is considerable 6if-
the republican parliament respecting
the concessions to be demanded from
England. Some members were de-
clared to be adhering resolutely to the
demand for full national independ-
ence. and for this reason predictions
were made that the meeting Of the
parliament, when held, would prob
ably develop some stin opposition to
the leaders, who were represented as
being resolved to adopt a compromise
measure.
It was maintained, however. that Mr..
de Valera and his immediate coll
leagues retained control Of the situa-
tion, and would carry the principle of
compromise against the demands OF
extremists.

IMPERIAL OPINION
| SWAYS IRISH ISSUE
British Dominion Ministers
Big Factor Toward Early
Settlement.
Settlement.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.


By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1921.
LONDON, England, August 1.-Im-
perial opinion and not any man set
the Irish question in the way Of set
tlement. That this sentence tells the
truth one can find no impartial stu
dent of politics in London to deny. Not
the king, not Prime Minister Lloyd
George. not Lord Northcliffe. but the
force Of imperial opinion. unmistak-
ably expressed, turned the trick.
to affect Anglo-Irish relations favor
ably. and his influence. every one ad-
mits, has been considerable. But in
nc instance has he overstepped the
limits Of his constitutional status. So
far was his Belfast speech from haV-
ing been a personal and Independent
deliverance that it was in the hands
of Lloyd George at least six days be-
fore it was uttered. In other words.
though it's inspiration and tone were
the kings. it reached the world as
cabinet speech.
Leaders in Movement.
Lloyd George, most observers hold,
has been a valuable force in the Irish
controversy. He bore the brunt OF
the separatist assault and yet never
ceased to encourage those who sought
a compromise Of a broad and gener-
GUS nature from the standpoint OF
the Sim Fein. Lord Northcliffe, too,
has aided the Anglo-Irish peace
movement His friends think that
his contribution through personal ef-
forts and through his newspapers ex-
GELS that Of any other other single person; SON.
Northcliffe. devoted though their
services have been, could not have
settled the Irish question. It was
settled, or put in the best position 1t
slow maturing Of Irish nationalist
or Sim Fein power on the one hand
and the growth Of political liberal
mindedness and enlightenment on the
other.
George is ready to concede that de
Valera is the stanchest and ablest
exponent of Irish nationalism in the
whole history of this cause. But his
real ability and his real statesman
ship, according to Lloyd George. Will
show themselves, II at all. not so
much in his powerful exposition Of
the abstract right of Ireland to In
dependence, but in his recognition as
a practical politician of the fact that
Ireland must live in some kind OF
federal relationship with the other
communities of the British empire.
Hurried Settlement.
As has been pointed out heretofore.
1t was of inestirhable worth to the
Irish peace movement that the Brit
ish dominion prime ministers were
assembled in London and that they
had a man like Gen. Smuts to go di-
rect to de Valera and tell him that
the dominions stood with the mother
country against imperial disruption.
But for this circumstance Irish peace
would have been delayed, doubtless
for a long time.
