A. According to an old legend
the phoenix was q bird which was
consumed by fire and'rose in youth
full freshness from its own ashes.
The name seemed appropriate for
Phoenix, Ariz.. as this city was
built on the remains OF a great pre-
Columbian city. In prehistoric

The Solution Of the Country's Ills.

President Harding adopted wise and gen.
timely commendable initiative in going in per-
son before the interstate commerce commits
sion this week and urging reduction in rail-
road freight rates, as a logical means OF has
tening the return of normally in the affairs Of
the country.
The action Of the labor board in slashing
the wages Of railway employees to the extent of
$500 900 900 in the aggregate. was taken by the
president as sound reason why the railroads
should make an appreciable reduction in the
carriage charges. The president might have
gone further and said that the railroads in
common With all corporations. having system
atically passed the advanced cost of production
and operation on to the people, it would be but
consistent to pass back to the people the saw
ings in expenses.
But the president went further. He argued,
and with good reason, that il the freight rates
were reduced, the increase in volume of trans
portation would more than compensate for the
tariff reduction As matter Of fact, the prac-
tice Of levying excessive rates even with the
tremendous advances in expense of opera
ton and maintenance may we'll be questioned
There is such thing as prohibitive freight
rates. The cost Of transportation to the ship
per has mounted SO high that freight shipping
has all but ceased. As an example of the in
judicious policy Of putting too high a price on
transportation The Argus feels that for its
own part, it may cite the experience OF the
local transportation lines. From the first it
has doubted the expediency Of constantly in
creasing cost of street car ride as imposed
here in the three cities and which in all candor
it regards as the root Of all the company s
ills. 1t alenated, not only great percentage
Of the street railway patrons, but practically
killed the short haul business, in which, after
All. is the biggest profit 1t would have been
better therefore, we venture to say, had the
company been content with a seven, or at
most an eight cent fare-and kept its bust
ness.
1t is in the volume of its business, rather
than in rising increase in the charges it
makes. that a transportation corporation pros
pers. So that not only freight charges, but
passenger rates as we'll, should come down.
and the sooner the better for the country al
large and the railroad az we'll
The railroads are the regulators of COM
merce and it is essential to business prosper
ity that they be operated, not only to their own
profit, but as genuine healthy artery to com
merce and industrial progress.
The minute railroad rates are reduced thai
moment the existing stagnation will be re-.
leved and all lines Of pursuit will respond and
| thrive.

SUGGESTIONS.
When tableclOth is so worn that
recruiting into napkins is a waste of
time, make roller towels Of 1t for
the kitchen. Even though worn,
they will last surprisingly long.
Equal parts of salt and ashes,
mixed with water to form a paste,
and applied to cracks in heating or
cooking stove, will cement it SO it
will last indefinitely.
To mend window screens cut out
large patches from an old screen
and "sew" it on the broken part
with fine wire pulled from the edge
of the WORKOUT screen. This will
last for another season and the
mend cannot be detected.
For very much sOiled parts of
heavy garments, small, stiff
brush cleans them much more
easily than rubbing them on the
board. 1t is much easier on the
hands, too.
When you press clothes always
use wet flannel between the hot
iron and the clothes, and it will
never leave shiny places on the
goods,

Let's Find Out.

Why-and how-are the prices of food
stuffs tripled between the farmer and the city
consumer?
Who gets the difference-and for what?
What share of this increase is due to neces-
sary costs Of distribution, to fair profits BY
middlemen. and what part represents useless
costs and excessive profits?
These questions, often raised but never set
tied to the satisfaction of either farmer, con-
sumer or dealer, may find an authoritative
answer II the special congressional commits
sion for agricultural inquiry, proposed by
concurrent resolution now pending in con-
gress, is approved
The resolution has been favorably report
ed by the senate committee on agriculture and
approved by the rules committee Of the house.
Its passage, declares c. s. Barrett, chair
man Of the National Board Of Farm Organize
tons. will be assured If producers and con-
summers will unite in demand on congress
for its passage.
| "The farmer ought to know WHY he onlv
collects about 80 cents for every dollar his
products bring when sold to the ultimate con-
sumner" says Barrett ION the other hand the
consumer ought to know why he has to nav
on the average nearly three times as much as
the farmer receives"
The creation Of this commission vould
give some reason to believe the answer would
be found. II the commission be in earnest and
its Investigation be thorough, It should he

situations that have been collecting untustly.
