II was soon after the close OF the
war that The New York Herald be-
gan TO warn both railroad managers
and railroad workers that the abnor-
NAL rail transportation rates would
inevitably drive more and more busl-
ness away from the land carriers TO
the water carriers as the falling ship
rates made the maritime competi-
tion more and more of an appeal to
shippers. And The New York Herald
now reminds the rail carriers that
the only way they can get back that
great tonnage loss Is with traffic
rates that will win back the busi-
ness because It will pay the busi-
ness TO go back to the railroads.
But the railroads cannot make low
enough rates to win back the lost
business so long as their operating
expenses are kept as high as they
are. To get these inordinate operat-
ing expenses down to levels which
will permit the roads TO bid for busi-
ness they cannot now get 1t is neces-

Rail Losses From High Rates

All last year excessive railway
traffic rates we're driving transcon-
tinental business out OF the freight
trains and into ships using the Pa
mama Canal route. They were driv-
ing Europe bound shipments from
the transcontinental rail and Allan
tic water routes into the canal ships
The greater part of 1920 was fat
year for general traffic and 1921 was
lean year. Yet in the lean year
OF 1921 the American coastwise car
goes passing through the Panama
Canal went up to 1.O5O,722 tons from
669,O95 tons in 192O--to the loss Of
the railroads. Panama Canal car
goes from the western part of the
United States TO Europe in 1920 were
only 749,447 tons; in 1921 they went
up to 1,5O1,s59 tons-again to the
loss Of the railroads.
These figures mean that trainload

ought not to be assumed in the

The House Ways and Means Com

the bonus issue squarely have killed
all faith in the sincerity of the
bonus campaign, so far as its sup
porters In Congress are concerned.
II the bonus advocates we're con-
vinced that the country owed a real
debt to the soldiers which ought to
be discharged at once. they would
pass bonus bill and provide the
money TO meet payments under 1t.
Congressman want to pass a bill,
but do not want to levy taxes to-
meet payments They are thinking
of the measure in terms 6f politics

vantage to themselves in votes of
paying the bonus, OF not paying It

II they are going to postpone or

do IL because bonus legislation is
inadvisable and though slightly

FORMER MEXICAN REBEL CHIEF SHOT BY LOPEZ
 WHILE ON HIS RANCH

Fl Paso, Tex, October 31.-Fran- cisco Villa, Canutillo farmer and for mer rebel chief, was shot and slightly wounded while trying to put down an uprising on his ranch, headed by Jesus Lopez. aged father of the late Martin Lopez, for years Villas right hand man, according to reports in anti Obregon circles in Fl Paso to- day.
 The uprising, during which Villa was driven from the ranch, was started by Lopez when the latter be- came convinced that his son had not been killed in battle as reported, but was shot down by Villa after the de- feat at Juarez in June, 1919. At that time Martin Lopez was commanding the force that entered the city, but was driven out by Col. J. G. Escober, now a general
 Villa, in his anger, shot Lopez, who had accompanied him on many cam paigns, the father of the dead man believes.
 The successful rebels in the pres ent uprising at the Canutillo ranch did not remain after driving out Villa, fearing large force would be sent after them. Villa. according to the reports, still fears uprisings, however, and has moved his family to Parral.
 Whether the former rebel was at Canutillo or Parral could not be as- eertained here.
