DEBT REFUND|NG
SLOW AND LENGTHY

Democrtic senators criticise Pres
ident Harding's selection for men,
bership of the allied debt refunding
commission only because one of
their own political faith was not in
cluded. They are wise enough not
to question the qualifications Of
Messrs. Mellon, Hughes, Hoover,
Smoot and Burton. It would be in
tresting to receive from them list
of democrats, any one of whom
might be substituted for one of the
republicans to the improvement of
the commission. But they will make
no such suggestions simply because
there are none better equipped
than the presidents appointees to
conduct the delicate negotiations
which must be undertaken. There
is no place in the refunding opera
lions for mere politics. 1t is BUSH
ness Of serious kind and the char
acter of the five gentlemen selec-
ted gives assurance that partisan
politics will not enter into their
consideration of it. 1t cannot be
shirked. This is the sufficient
reason for the presidents selection
of five men in whom he and the
country can repose absolute conf
dence.
People that believe that the fund
ing commission will devise a process
for early discharge Of their obliga-
lions by our war creditors are go
ing to be disappointed. An indica-
ton of the difficulties they will en-
counter is given in the news that
Great Britain, the most capable fl
nancially Of the debtors, contem-
plates in the near future making on
ly a relatively small cash payment
on account Of overdue interest and
that she will tender bonds in an
amount not to exceed $1,0O0,000,-
900, whereas she owes us approx
mately $5,000,000,000. Others
will be able to do less. But the
commission is not in fact a col
lecting body. Its business will be
to make some arrangement for re-
payment which will enable our gov.
eminent to appraise these claims
That being done we can go ahead
more confidently with our own fl
nancing. How slow actual collec'
ton will be any American may cal

ToNOPAH RATE HEARING
HAS BEEN SET FOR MARCH

The hearing of the Tonopah
freight rate case has been set by
the states public service commits
sion for March 81 in an order
made last Saturday, says the Ga
zette.
In setting the date for the hear
ing the commission states that at
appears that such rates are or may
be unjust, unreasonable and ex-
cessive because the commodities
covered by such rates are moving
from Reno to Goldfield, Tonopah
and intermediate points in large
part by parcel post at a lower rate
than the rail rates in effect and
which are complained of and at a
much smaller revenue to the rail-
road and it appears that reas-
enable reduction in such railroad
rates may result in substantially
increasing the business and the
earnings of the defendants from
Reno to the southern Nevada
points,"
The hearing of the complaint
against rates on the Eureka and
Palisade railroad, filed some time
ago by the Eureka chamber of
commerce has been set for the 18th
Of this month at Eureka and the
10Th at Palisade.
