PROPOSED NEW RATES
OPPOSED BY RAILROAD

Louis Seeking to Suspend
Some Tariffs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE. Tenn. September g.
Whiteford r. Cole. president Of the
Nashville. Chattanooga and ST. Louis
railway. testified late today at a hear
ing before the state railroad and
public utilities commission. which had
cited the railroad to show cause why
certain rates proposed by the commits
sion should not be put into effect. The
roads proposal to suspend certain
tariffs also is being heard.
President Cole testified as to the par
value of all outstanding stock of the
Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis.
placing the value at $4,000. 900, while
i$17.311. 900.
With reference to the reason why a
dividend was declared this year, al
though the railroad claimed to have
lost money. the witness explained that
the dividend was declared because a
great many of the stockholders de-
pended largely upon this dividend and
it was assumed by the company that
the characteristics marking this year
were but for a short duration and that
without additional losses they thought
the period could be passed over. He
added that in the event there were
other losses and tho conditions that
the railroad is now undergoing be-
came perI,e.nent. 1t would not be q
question of declaring dividends. but
rather one of keeping the road out of
the hands of the receiver.

of war. Perhaps no epoch has been
SO productive of such mementos as
the present. which has been actuated
and accentuated by the world war
and the part played in 1t by this
nation.
Il often wonder If in our haste
and enthusiasm for those things
which stand out predominant in any
great move we oftentimes forget or
at least fail to give proper con-
elements which are essential to the
whole. or which perhaps may, have
constituted the most important of all
its units. Now the fellow who
knows me will say. without reading
another word: He is going to talk
the mark, for that is the point I am
coming to-that little army of
patriotic citizens who for years
previous to the world war worked SO
faithfully and diligently. so unself-
ishly: to fit themselves and others
manded their services when called
by the federal government for the
Spanish-American war. the Mexican
border service and the world war.
Praiseworthy Record.
For years the National Guard
struggled on in the face Of many
disadvantages. its officers and men
unapplauded In their efforts. making
personal sacrifices without the hope
perchance the emergency would arise
whereby their military teaching and
learning through these years OF vol
untary service might 'Oe "rn.''oyed TO
the use and advantage of their ma
tion. Thrice in the ordinary lifetime
OF man has il been the privilege of
many national guardsmen to have
volunteered their services to the fed
eral government in common cause.
one for which every citizen should
feel as deeply obligated.
'In the year 1898. 223.235 national

unteered for the world war. All of
these were volunteers. known to the

National Guard training who served
in the world war. Thousands of men

strengthened generally by men who

the guard are worth commemo-ating,
how it can best be accomplished AS

was that II Germany were compelled
