More Liberal Credit Urged.

Percentage rate increases on the rail-
roads upset much OF the rate structure
and consequently the marketing bal
ance Of the country. This is illustrated
by the complaint of the California fruit
growers. The rate from California to
New York was higher than that from
Florida to New York. California grow
ers could stand the difference, but this
difference was widened BY the per-
centage increase for the reason that
the 80 per cent. OF one dollar is Just
twice as mach as 30 per cent or half
a dollar. A fiat increase Of either one
dollar or one half a dollar both from
Florida and California to New York
would have kept marketing conditions
as near even as difference in distance
would allow.
The Cabinet gave consideration TO the
appeal Of Southern and Western Sem
ators for more liberal treatment for the
agricultural producers of the country in
a credit way. A non-sectional, non

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., April 22. }
President Harding and his Cabine
devoted a two hour session to-day I
discussion of the railroad problem an
to ways and means of steadying tn
industrial, business and agriculture
situation. These conclusions wer
reached:
/. That percentage rate in
creases made on the railroads had
brought inequity in transporta-
ton charges, which in turn had
thrown some of the industrial and
productive machinery out of gear.
2. That a new coal crisis is
threatened next winter unless
stagnation Of the mining industry
can be overcome and movement of
fuel to the Northwest started early
IN the season.
3. That the transportation sit
uation must be Strengthened out
before much can be accomplished
toward getting the mines. mills
and factories running and agricul
ture on a paying basis.
4. That various commodity rates
must be brought down from the
present high levels to stimulate
production and trade all along the
line.
No definite programme or genera
remedy for the situation has yet bee
worked out. President Harding mad
known following the meeting that
number OF domestic business and agri
cultural problems were discussed an
that the discussions all came back [

about the tobacco habit. I have said
it a hundred times, and l say it again,
that my aunt is all wool and a yard
wide, and you would travel far before
finding a better female, but if you
think she has no bad habits you have
another guess coming. Two or three
years ago she read some English So
ciety novels. Those stories are full
of tea parties. A man reading them
would think the Britishers spent all
their time at tea fights.
Aunt Julia thinks that anything
British is entirely proper, and she got
the idea that you can't be fashionable
of tea. So she blew herself for the
herb, and began drinking it. AT first
she said it tasted like collie medicine,
but she ~persevered, and now she's the
champion middle weight tea drinker
of this burg. | won't say anything
about the money it costs. She insists
upon having imported tea, and won't
be satisfied with any home grown sub
stitutes, although sage tea is far bet
ter and costs next to nothing.
"She gets on a tea jag every time
she has company, and then for two or
three days she has a hangover, and her
nerves are a sight to be seen, and l
just wish you had to live in the same
house with her at such times. Then
you would be willing to admit that
there are worse things than smoking"

People are always asking me why

don't you quit wearing sidewhiskers,

name is the Estate of Rhode
Island and Providence Planta-
tions." 1t originated from two
distinct settlements. The first
was made by Roger Williams In
1886. He was the pastor of n
church in Salem. AS he adyo-
Gated radical reforms he was
ordered to return to England,
but fled to the NarraganSett
tribe of Indians. From them he
obtained a tract of land and
called the town which he estab-
lished Providence, in token of
Gods mercy which had so far
provided for him.
About the same time Mrs.
Anne Hutchinson and her fol
lowers were expelled from Mas
sachusetts on account of n theo-
logical dispute. She made her
way to the island of Aquidneck,
which she purchased from the
Indians for 40 fathoms of white
wampum, 20 hoes and 10 coats.
The name of this island was
changed to the Isle of Rhodes,
probably after the famous Greek
island in the Mediterranean.
BY common usage it became
known as Rhode Island. In 1862
Charles ii gave Rhode Island a
very liberal charter, and this re-
manned in force until 1841, when
a e. state constitution was
adopted by a conventions,
and two years later another new
constitution was legally voted.
The change in constitutions
caused what was known as
DORIS rebellion.
The entrance of Rhode Island
into the Union in 1890 completed
the list of the original thirteen
states. Though Rhode Island Is
the smallest of all the states,
with only 1,248 square miles, it
is very thickly populated and
has five presidential electors,
which is more than those of a
number of states of much larger
territory.
