All the taxicab operators of Topeka

RATE War LOOMS
Oklahoma Fires First Gun in
Southwestern Battle.
Appeal to 1. C. C. to Start In
vestigation in Six States.

There has been received by the To-
peka Traffic association, a COPY of a
petition which has been filed with
the interstate commerce commission
by the Corporation Commission of
Oklahoma, which probably means a
rate war in which shippers organiza-
tions, carriers, and public utilities
commissions of several southwestern
states will be involved, according to
E. H. Hogueland, commerce counsel
for the Topeka Traffic association.
The petition asks the interstate COM
merce commission for an investigation
and adjustment of all class and COM
modify rates in the southwestern ter
ritory.
The territory affected by the petit
mission, which corresponds to the
public utilities commission of Kansas,
includes Kansas. Oklahoma, Texas,
southern Missouri, Arkansas and west
ern Louisiana
The Oklahoma commission declares
that Oklahoma interstate shippers are
being Disseminated against on GER
tain of these rates, and asks the re-
moval of such discrimination by the
federal rate making body.
Such action on the part of Okla
homa means that there will probably
be an attempt by the Oklahoma COM
mission, the railroads and competitive
shippers, to increase rates for Kansas
interstate shippers, and these shippers
and the public utilities commission of
Kansas have already been in consul
tation-
1t is expected that if the petition
comes to a hearing, the commissions
of all the states affected, will be
parties to the argument, as well as
the shippers organizations in states
other than Oklahoma, and that they
will object to the increase of kansas
rates to meet The rates of Oklahoma.
1t has been maintained by the Kan
sas shippers and the Kansas public
utilities commission, that traffic con-
ditions in the state of Kansas justify
a. lower rate in this state than in other
states. This is denied by Oklahoma.
Kansas shippers would be we'll sat
isfied if the Oklahoma shippers pc
titioned to have their own rates re-
duced to the level of the Kansas rates.
1t is agreed that there have been con-
ditions in the adjustment of the rates
which have resulted in discrimination
against the Oklahoma interstate ship
pers, and the Kansas shippers would
have assisted them in their fight to
that end.
The petition filed by the Oklahoma
ton commission carries with
it the suggestion to the interstate COM
merce commission that it put into eff
feet in the territory which it's petition
covers, what is known as the Missouri
scale, which was es-
tablished by the federal body some
years ago to be effective between
cities on the Missouri river, and cities
in Nebraska

Critical in Santa F'e Territory.
The greatest loss promised to fall
on fruit growers in the San Joaquin
valley, thru which the Santa Fe runs.
Crops this year are of record-breaking
proportions, and are estimated in
value at $50,000,000. Failure to put
this fruit in the eastern market will
result in its being almost a complete
loss to growers.
For weeks leaders of the fruit in
dustry have expressed anxiety that a
crisis in rail transportation would
strike them at the height of their sea
son. At their behest two weeks ago.
Gov. W. d. Stephens appealed to
President Harding to take steps to
prevent such a situation as has arisen.
1t is a question today hew long the
Western Pacific. the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific lines can keep their
main lines open.

telegram to President Harding: Linn
tied trains tied up on account of strike
causing much distress to travellers,
woman and children. Civilized people
have established courts to adjust dis
putes among men and the time has
come when similar tribunals with
ample power to enforce their man

word implies, force and violence. and
the strikes must be prevented by law.

Governor Allen today was keeping
a close watch over the situation at
Horton. Efforts of the Rock Island
to open it's shops at that point have
failed. Strike breakers brought to
the town have been induced to leave.
according to state information.
Next week the Rock Island will try
to restore shop operation at Horton.
1t may be that national guard pro-
lection will be required at that time.
Officials Of Horton and Brown

Merchants Must Sell.
The attorney generals office has is
sued an opinion to the effect that
local merchants in shop towns can
not refuse to sell goods to strike
breakers. Copies of the opinion arc
being sent to all shop towns in Kan
sas. The ruling is based on an inter-
probation of sections OF the industrial
court law.
Information is now being gathered
concerning strikers who sought to
force blacklisting Of workers. Evil
dence is also being collected against
merchants who have refused to make
sales of merchandise to men who
worked in railroad shops.

CITY CUTS WEEDS
Total Bill Since Last August
Is $1,714.7S.
Cost VIII Be Assessed on 1922
Tax Roll.

Robert d. McGiffert, city park and
health commissioner. today totaled up
the cost to the owners of vacant lots
in Topeka, for cutting the weeds from
them since August 1 of 1921.
On August 1 of each year, the costs
are totaled and assessed on the tax
roll Since August l of last year.
owners of vacant lots owe the city
for S1.714.GS worth of weed cutting.
In that time the city employees have
cut the weeds on 1904 pieces of
ground in the city. OF this number.
256 have been cut second time. and
sixteen have been cut for the third
time.
Costs Less This Year
The average assessment against the
different pieces of ground is 91.4 cents
this year as against $1.09 last year.
The highest assessment against the
owner of any particular piece of
ground this year was $9.44. and the
lowest was IT cents Last year the
highest was $4S.O6, and the lowest was
IA cents.
Last year, weeds were cut on 1893
pieces of ground, ninety-seven of these
were cut a second time. and six third
time. The total assessment for all
owners of vacant lots in 1921 was
$1,245.77.
Employ Six Men.
The work of cutting the weeds will
be continued as long this summer as
it is considered necessary, McGiffert
said. There are six men employed
most OF the time on the job. All the
cutting which has been done since
August 1, and which VIII be done dur
ing the remainder of this year, will
be charged up on the 1928 tax roll.
Weather conditions largely deter
mine the amount of weed cutting
which is necessary-particula the
number of times one tract is cut over.
And this has been a pretty good crop
year." McGiffert stated.
The ordinance which McGiffert will
present to the city commission assess
ing the cost of the weed cutting covers
thirty-six typewriter pages, with the
names of the owners, and the locations
of the tracts which have been cut.

LOOKING UP AGAIN
Cattle Industry Is Getting Back
on Its Feet.
Again a Feeling of Confidence,
Says KinZer.
(By The Associated Press.l

Kansas City, NO, Aug. 12-Tne
beef cattle industry in America is
looking up. according to R. ]. Kinzer,
secretary of the American Hereford
association.
All along the line, he said. there is
a feeling of optimism and confidence,
with the breeder of purebreds, with
the managers of range herds from
which the major supply of feeder cat
tie is drawn. and with the farmers or
the corn belt who finish beeves for
the packing house market.
Mr.. Kinzer announced that trans
fers of purebred Hereford cattle re-
corded during July, 1922, exceeded by
81 per cent the number of transfers
made in July, 1921. Herefords are
beef cattle.
Breeders Arc Buying.
1.-THE number of transfers we re-
cord is the index to the volume of
purchases being made by breeders OF
Hereford CATTLE said Mr.. KinZer- II
transfers run light, it means that bust
ness is dull. But an increase OF o.
per cent during July is evidence that
the purebred cattle industry is get
ting back on its feet and that feel
ing of security and confidence in the
future is felt by all interests concerned
in the production of beef for the
American dinner table"
July transfers of Herefords this
year compared favorabiy with July of
the boom" years of 1918. 1919 and
1920, according to Mr.. KiDzer. and the
volume for the last month runs only
about 1000 less than the record year
of 1918. This is regarded by cattle
ment as most favorable.
Market Has Improved.
1.-The upswing cattle markets at the
stockyards are also cause for conf
dence among breeders and feeders"
added Mr.. Kinzer. During the last
three months the market for killing
cattle has shown a pronounced trend
upward, reaching the extreme top of
the year at $10.S5 per hundredweight
in Chicago during the last week of
July. This is most suspicious when
compared with the IS and SO prices
which prevailed during the early
months of the year.
Demand for purebreds has in
creased to the point where it is diff
cult to supply enough suitable bulls
and breeding COWS for current re-
quirements. Prices of purebreds are
just starting on their upward trend
after the recent deflation. which
means that now is the time for farm
ers and new breeders to enter the
purebred business"

BIG FOUR TO MEET IN TEXAS.
All Trains VIII Cease Operation
While Conference Is Held.

Waco. Tex. Aug. 12,-An trains and
engines on all roads in Waco will
cease operation tomorrow afternoon.
while a meeting of representatives of
the big four Brotherhoods employed
on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas lines
in Texas is in progress here. according
to statements made this morning by
Brotherhood members. The meeting
has been called, il is said. to determine
whether members of the Big Four in
Texas VIII pursue the tactics of the
Big -Four in other shop centers and
refuse to work unless armed guards
are removed
Rumors have been af1oat for some
time that the Big Four would take
such action and now that the move
mert has been started at other points,
it is thought there will be little to dis
suade similar action here and at other
Texas rail centers.
