THE HIGH SEAS ROLL CALL

With view of reaching all Ameri-
cans everywhere, Capt. Charles H.
Forster, Assistant Manager Of the
Washington Division in particular
charge of Insular and Foreign AT
fairs, is undertaking to make it pos
sible this year that there be an oppor-
tunity to enroll, not only in every
corner of the world, but also on the
ships at sea.
Realizing that on Armistice Day,
November 18th, there are sure to be
many thousands of American travel
ers, American officers and crews on
the high seas, plan has been evolved
to make it possible that they be not
overlooked in membership enroll
ment. The plan is so novel as to
amount to almost an inspiration. Cap
tain Forster says:
'The United States Emergency
Fleet Corporation and its operating
agencies, all important American
owned and operated steamship lines,
and all the large foreign passenger
lines have been requested to give all
Americans on the high seas on Armis-
tice Day an opportunity to enroll in
the American Red Cross for 1928.
"The response from our appeal has
been far beyond our expectations.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
has instructed its agents throughout
the country to arrange for this High
Seas Roll Call. Nearly all the large
American-owned and operated steam
ship companies have responded in
manner that is most encouraging,
many of their letters expressing not
only willingness to cooperate in
this High Seas Roll Call, but their
interest and belief in the work of the
American Red Cross. The response
from the great foreign steamship
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1922-11-09

lines has been equally encouraging.
Packages of supplies are now be-
ing sent to the large steamship lines
one package for each ship that will
be on the high seas on Armistice Day.
These packages will be forwarded
from the shipping company with a
letter of instruction to the ships.
The captain will appoint person or
committee to take charge of the Roll
Call. The Capitol poster will be dis
played in conspicuous places on the
ship. A radio message will be broad
casted, to be published in the radio
newspapers published on the ships.
"The High Seas Roll Call gives ev-
cry promise of being one of the most
inspiring phases of the coming Roll
Call, and large enrolment is ex-
pected."

LAUGHTER

Here's to laughter, sunshine of the
soul, happiness of the heart, privilege
of purity and the echo of innocence.
1t destroys depression, dispells de-
lection, mangles melancholy and ban
ishes the blues. Laughter is the rip
pie on the waters of delight, the
sheen on the river of smiles and CLINT
of the gold of gladness. Without it
humor would be dumb, wit would
wither, smiles would shrivel and dim
pies would disappear Today, to-
morrow and forever may we drink to
the birth of mirth. the voice of a
pure soul, and the swan song of sad
ness-LAUGHTER.

Controversy Getting Definite.

The whole controversy. which has
been a thorn in the side of the Harding
administration from Inauguration day be-
cause the shipping interests have been
prOdding constantly for lower rates. has
reached a point of definitive action with
the administration. Mr.. Harding gave
the impression to the Washington cor
respondent d week ago that he was sum
moning the railroad executives because
the interstate commerce commission
could not formulate policies but could
act on facts as presented in the regular
form. While it is true that the present
decision is the Outgrowth of the inter
state commerce commissions own init
atiye, it is significant that the commits
sion doesn't share the view as to its lin
itations on matters of policy. The com
missions decision says, for instance:
THE carriers take the position that
we must be guided solely by those things
which are definite and certain in the
past. With this we cannot agree Our
| function under the law is not that of
mere computers and cannot thus be
atrophied. The duty to prescribe rates

FLANDERS POPPY
|. GROWS IN BLOOD
FIourishes on BattIefields of 900 Years
Ago-American Farmers Afraid
of Them

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 25-The
little white daisy of the American Lee
gion is not even 32d cousin of the Eng
fish daisy Of poetic tradition, writes
Walter Pritchard Eaton, author IN an
article for the legion, announced by the
national headquarters of the organiZa-
tion. ...
The American daisy was adopted by
the legion as its official flower after
three years Of discussion.
The poppy of Flanders, a household
word throughout America, was the first
choice. They say these peoples grow in
fields where blood is shed. They flourish
in the English wheatfelds about Hast
ings. where William the COnqueror beat
Harold of England 900 years ago in the
last conquest of England. They cover
the countryside in Flanders, where the
English suffered their seyerest losses
during the World war. There was no
more than the merest scattering of pop
pics in the Argonne and about st. Mi
hiel, where the American doughboys beat
back the Germans.
Moreover this poppy Is not a native oi
America. After its adoption by the le-
giaa it was brought into the country in
considerable quantity, and then some
experts put out the information that
il was likely tQ,spread so fast as to be
come a pest Tie haTrassed American
farmer came forward With a protest at
once, announcing to all the world that
he already had troubles plenty with
raising wheat for a falling market, let
alone peoples.
Therefore the legion in its third ma
tional convention last fall chose the
American daisy for its emblem The
choice has met wide approval. 1t is a
perennial and thrives under almost any
conditions Children and top sergeants
love it. In quantity it affords glOri-
Gus mass of lively beauty that cheers
the heart.
Meanwhile the poppy OF more sombre
memories has by no means been forgot
ten. It has been adopted by the Amcri-
can Legion auxiliary as the memorial
flower of the World war. The crimson
that stains its petals viii serve as a long
reminder of the struggle and the victory

Points to Precedent.

Q
AS if realizing that this is a develop
mentB of its functions. the commission
points to its decision in the grain rate
case as a precedent and justification, as
follows:
THE duty cast upon us is a continuing
duty and looks to the future. 1t does
not constitute a guaranty to the car
riers nor is the obligation cumulative
We are not restricted by past or present
statistics of operation and earnings.
/ These are Serviceable only as they IL
Illuminate the future. What is contem-
plated by the law is that in the exercise
of this rate making power the result
shall reflect our best judgment as to the
basis which may reasonably be expected
for the future to yield the prescribed
return"
The interstate commerce commission
now says that since the rate of pay for
/ employees has been reduced by S350,000-
| 000 a year the tendency is toward" in
| creased revenues, lowered costs and
| higher net income for the carriers. The
/ commission says. moreover, that it docs
/ not accept the adjustments made by car
! ricrS in their constructive years as cor
rect or complete" the same being an es-
| innate of 4.S9 per cent return upon the
| value of their property instead of the
| five and a half per cent guaranteed them
/ by the transportation act.
Really Raises Rate.
The present law provided that the FIVE
| and a half per cent should be in effect
| for two years from March /. 1920 The
| commission now says that after consid-
ering all the facts a fair return for the
/ period after March, 1922. will be SO
| per cent. The commission comments
| freely on business conditions rs fac
tor in its decision, saying:
THE period of dehatiOn has been in
progress more than IL months demand
/ Is rising prices are showing n tendency
/ to stabilize upon a level much below
that of 1920. but above that of pre-war
years and conditions of the agricultural
and manufacturing industries have
greatly improved in the past few months.
WE are of the opinion that general
reduction in the rate level as sub
i stantial as the condition of the carriers
viii permit. tends not only to lessen the
| transportation burden but also to equal
izc and stabilize the conditions under
| which commerce and industry are car
ried on with consequent fuller assurance

Especial Despatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-American
railroads have been given an ultfmatum
by the interstate commerce commission
they are asked to decide by Nav 81
whether they will accept without for
NAL order the findings of the commits
sion for reduced freight rates or whether
they will resist the decision in the
courts.
President Harding admits that his eff
forts to pursuade the railroad executives
at the dinner last Saturday night to ac-
cept the cut voluntarily has not borne
fruit. On top. of that statement comes
the announcement of the interstate COM
merce commissions decision reached on
May 16, four days before the White
House dinner, but not made public un-
til yesterday. The two moves are in Sc
quence and are made with the hope
that public opinion, win manifest itself
IN the next few days and convince the
railroads that their own best interests
as well as those of, the country lie in
going along with the interstate com
merce COMMISSIONS finding.
The railroads can. of course. take the
case all the way to the supreme court of
the United States because the trans
portation act provides that the rail
roads shall have a fair return ON their
! property and no testimony has been
taken 10 prove whether the proposed cut
would enable the railroads to earn such
! return.
