COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 7.-"And
why shouldn't woman aspire to a
diplomatic post? She is in every
sense eligible. She is a citizen, a
voter and experience has proved to the
men what women themselves always
knew, that, given an opportunity, they
could adequately fill administrative
and executive positions"
1t is this creed which is supporting
Miss Lucille Atchison in her effort to
be the first woman enrolled in the
American diplomatic service. She is
modest in her aspirations, as she is
seeking only the post of fourth secre-
tary. Although only 26 she has gone
through long course of preparations,
both in study and experience, and has
no fear of failing to qualify in the ex-
animation. To take part in such an
examination she studied last summer
in the Georgetown university.
She is a Smith college graduate and
has done postgraduate work in the
University of Ohio and the University
of Chicago. She was general secre-
tary for the Society for Devastated
France, serving four years abroad in
this capacity, and she feels this has
taught her d thousand ways in which
a secretary in an American embassy
can serve her fellow citizens, espe-
cially women.

ayers in the eyes of their employees.
He called upon the employees of the
Illinois Central to repudiate their
unions and their leaders and place
their faith in managers, who would.
Markham said, be very happy to re-
cord this note of confidence in their
good purposes.
Reiterating in his reply to Mr..
Markham his charge that valuations
so far established by the engineers of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
show that the roads are worth less
than half of the sum claimed, Mr..
Plumb proceeded to give the market
value of stocks and bonds, which sub
stantiate the appraisement of the
commission and support Plumb's
statement in every particular.
Mr.. Plumb further declares that
charges that railroads are profiteer-
ing through contracts at excessive
prices whit supply companies in
which railway managers are finan-
cially interested, that they are VIC
lating the law by granting rebates
and giving favored shippers free
transportation, and that they are
looting the roads by approving false
claims for loss and damages, have
been abundantly proven by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, whose
findings OH these unlawful practices
have been laid before the senate by
representatives of organized rail
workers.
Railroads in more than 1876 cases,
involving 2,175 counts, declares Mr..
Plumb, have been convicted of rebat-
ing and have been assessed fines of
more than million dollars. He de-
clares that claims for loss and dam
ages have increased from little less
/ than $20,0O0,000 in 1910 to more than
$122,000,000 in 1920, sufficiently
demonstrating, Mr.. Plumb adds, the
truth of charges that railway man.
ayers are employing a new method
of favoring big shippers at the ex-
pense of the public.
AS to the charge that rail man.
ayers are grating on supply con-
tracts, there is mountain of evil
derce in the records of the commits
sion to the effect that number of
roads contracted for repairs of cars
and locomotives and paid concerns in
which railroad officials are interest
ed from four to six times what the
work rendered was worth.
In view of these facts, Mr.. Plumb

ers will continue to trust their lead
ers and distrust their bosses. The
latter by their records are con-
demned as disloyal to the public and
unjust and arbitrary in their treat
ment of employees.

By Charles M. Kelley


AT the present market value of all
stocks and bonds outstanding in the
hands of the public, the railroads of
the nation could be purchased for
SlO,640,OO0,000, Glenn E. Plumb,
counsel for organized railroad en-
ployes, points out in letter to C. H.
Markham, president of the Illinois
Central railroad.
This, Mr.. Plumb says, is Just about
half the property value claimed by
the carriers, and more than $S,OOO,-
100000 less than the value given the
roads by the Interstate Commerce
Commission for rate-making pur-
poses.
This heavy watering of railroads
imposes an unjust and unnecessary
burden of nearly half billion dollars
upon the American public. 1t also
explains why the farmers of the ma
ton are broke and why railroad
workers are being ground down as
respects both wages and decent work
ing conditions.
1t also provides a reason for the
unsatisfactory industrial conditions
in this country. The railroads have
established charges greater than the
traffic can bear. They have made it
cheaper to burn corn than to pur-
chase coal. They have forced farm
ers to sell the products of a years
labor for less than the cost of carry!
ing them to market.
In other words, railroad manage
ment and the latter's manipulation
have so loaded down trade with trans
portation charges that it cannot move
freely. This is the implication of
Mr.. Plumb's letter to Mr.. Markham.
Some time ago Mr.. Plumb testi-
fled before the house committee on
Interstate commerce on the subject
of railroad valuation. He quoted sta
tistics compiled by the Interstate
Commission as proof of his conten-
ton that the effort of the carriers
to collect toll on watered stock has
ruined all sections of the people. If
the roads were permitted to earn a
return only on the actual value of
their property, Mr.. Plumb said, there
would be an immediate improvement
in business conditions. 1t would not
then be necessary to ask workers to
accept starvation wages. Millions of
men who have been idle for months
would return to work, for when the
incubus of destructive rates is once
removed from commerce it will get
to its feet and start moving.
Wants Workers to Repudiate Leaders.
Mr.. Markham took exceptions to
these statements, claiming that rep
resentatives of the workers were at
tempting to discredit railroad man

Chautauqua and Lyceum Speakers to
Discuss Limitation of Armament
Conference in Every City, Town
and Hamlet.

At a recent meeting of Interna-
tional Lyceum and Chautauqua Asso-
citation held in Chicago, the members
of the association went on record as
favoring the principles for which the
Washington Conference was called
and pledged themselves to a program
to promote world peace by helping
America understand the problems
which confront the Conference. Ac-
cordingly the president Of the asso-
citation has sent out call to every
speaker to give part of their time
from each platform in telling their
audiences of the aims of the Confer
ence and to urge the people to take
a firm stand in asking the President
of the United States through their
senators and representatives to do
everything within their power to
bring about not only limitation of
armament, but complete disarma-
ment. No greater agency could be
employed in this cause, as thousands
of thinking men and women, not only
in the cities, but in isolated districts,
will have the opportunity of hearing
capable, sincere and learned speakers
discuss this greatest of all American
or world problems.
In the letter addressed to the pres
ident of the International Lyceum
and Chautauqua Association, Presi-
dent Harding writes: knowing as
l do the capacity of the members of
your association for the making of
intelligent public sentiment, / believe
you can best serve your government
by spreading accurate information
which will promote international good
will, based upon mutual understand
ing. 1t is a great thing to have the
medium of speaking to ten millions
of Americans annually, and you will
have an exceptional opportunity to
present such information as will en-
able your audiences to fully under
stand the economic and political con-
ditions of all the nations concerned.
Your association can do much for the
making of such good will in our own
land and doubtless develop a helpful
reflex in other lands"

SOUTH AFRICAN FARMERS
FOUND COOPERATIVE
MEAT INDUSTRY

The cattlemen of South Rhodesia
have terminated their exploitation by
the meat spectators and storage
men of johannesburg, their principal
seaport, by organizing the Farmers
Cooperative Meat Industry, which
already has in operation three coop
erative slaughtering and cold stor-
age plants, and is erecting three
more.
Since the South Rhodesia farmers
own over a million and a half head
scld locally hut frozen for shipment
of cattle, much of their meat is not
to Europe by the cooperative cold
storage plants. In order to utilize
the by-products of the meat industry
the farmers have also established a
cooperative tannery and fertilizer
fartory. They do not fear meat

Is HENRY FORD
A BMLI0NARE

Very rich men rarely talk about
their money. Henry Ford is an ex-
ception in this respect, as he is in
many others. Ford has told an in
terviewer that he has about $780,
100000 worth of buildings, 100000
900 worth of machinery and bank
balance of between $135 100000 and
$145, 900 ,0O0-$10, 100000 forwards or
backwards is a matter too small for
Henry to bother about. He also de-
clared that he could doubtless, if he
felt so inclined, capitalize and float
his business for a billion dollars.
This last statement has inspired
newspaper headlines to the effect
that Ford has passed Rockefeller in
the race towards billionairedom. Ford
assuredly is, tremendously rich. But
he is not Millionaire, and is farther
from that unattained figure than is
John d. Rockefeller. Rockefeller
never has been a Millionaire and to-
day is several hundred millions short
probably be nearer half -a-billion than
quarters of a billion.
But all that Ford claims to be
worth in property, machinery, etc,
and cash is third of billion. His
statement that he believes he could
get billion dollars for his business
does not make him Millionaire. The
Standard Oil companies in which
Rockefeller is interested could doubt
less he promoted and floated at fig
ures which would give Rockefeller far
more than billion dollars. But
neither Ford nor Rockefeller is given
to capitalizing goodwill at hundreds
of millions of dollars.
No; it will be some time before
Ford can claim the distinction of
being the richest man the world has
ever known. Anything is liable to
happen before then.-B. c. Forbes in
