RAIL ALLOWANCE
Another Important De-
cision Effective July l
Is Handed Down By the
Interstate Commerce
Commission At Wash
ington

Washington, May 24.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission today
decided that railroads are entitled to
earn 5 3-4 per cent on the value of
railway property, compared with six
Ter cent which was made the reason
able return standard under the trans
portation act and ordered railroad
rates in eastern territory cut approx
imately IA per cent effective July 1.
In the matter of reasonable re-
turn the commission pointed out that
until March 1, 1922, railroads had
been legally entitled to six per cent
annual earnings on the aggregate
value of property used in transporta-
ton. The sum was fixed by the
transportation act as the amount
equal to five and one half per cent
with one half one per cent addition
al to be granted in the discretion of
the commission for provisions for i'm
provements and betterments for the
railroad. The commission eXercis-
ed this discretion and the reasonable
return consequently has generally
been known as 1.-THE six per cent re-
turn.
The commission in modifying the
fair return standard reviewed testi-
mony taken by it in the general rate
case and concluded that substah-
tial reduction in the percentage re-
turn might be unsettling in it's eff
feet in view of the fact that the re-
turn allowed in 1920 was not realiz-
ed
I'VE may realize that return of
5.75 per cent" said the commissioner
after deducting the federal corpora
ton income tax on a return of six
per cent, would be approximately the
equivalent of return of six per cent
out of which the federal income tax
was payable.
In this connection the commission
concluded that its 1920 estimate o,
the aggregate value of railway prop
erty in the country, which was $751;
900 100000 for rate making purpose5
could still be used. Any advance since
would be immaterial as to earnings.
A dissenting opinion objected to
the rate allowed and expressed the
opinion that it should not exceed 5.5
per cent and that in any case the
commission should not set value
at the present time.
In my judgment the general reduc-
tions now decreed fall short Of fun
attainment of the desired end he
said. 'The present level of rates
on basic articles-should be mater
tally reduced"
Commissioner Eastman said that
the decision should have been witt
held to await action by the railroa,-
labor board on pending applications
for the reduction in wage scales. Com
missioner Lewis though dissenting, re-
marked that "the decision of the con,
mission that rates be reduced is unan
imous." Commissioner Potter said
that during the early stages Of our
deliberations it was his opinion that
80 called basic commodities,
should be given preferential reduc-
tions but that he had now developed
by further consideration objection to
such course.

SMALL VOTE CAST FAVORS
TAMPA HARBOR EXTENSION

Because it was generally conced-
ed that Tampa citizens would supper ,
a bond issue of 100000 for the con-
struction of municipal piers and har-
Dor facilities on the west side of the
Ybor chip channel, very little interest
was manifested in the vote taken on
Tuesday. Only 500 electors cast
their ballots. OF this number 260
voted for the bond issue and 60
against.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricuiture.)
In the three months period ending
December 81, 1920, more than $1,000
head Of live stock and poultry were
enrolled by 4S8 owners In the Better
Sires-Better Stock" campaign now In
progress to improve the quality of do
nestle animals In the United States.
This is large increase over the num-
Der enrolled during the previous quar-
ter. OF the stock listed, 6,870 were
males and, In accordance with the
provisions of the campaign, all these
were purebred. The female stock
numbered 87,7O3, and the owners have
pledged themselves to breed this stock
to purbred sires only.

since the beginning Of the campaign,
In which there appears to be strong
tendency for crossbree ding. During
the quarter just ended II "Better
Sires-Better Stock" emblems were
issued to live stock owners In Craig
county and all of them owned cross
breds. Crossbred animals were I'm.
partially distributed among all class
es of stock, including poultry.
The records OF the better-sire cam
paign continue to show that persons
using purebred sires for all classes o.
animals owned have a large numbel
of purebred females as well. In fact
of the S7,703 females recorded during
the last quarter 81 ,504 were purebred
The remainder, arranged according t
number, were grades, crossbreds, ant

Only one-third Of the worlds pOten-
tia food-produclng area Is under cul-
tivation. and the crops raised on that
third, thanks to agricultural science,
increase yearly.
The United States has only some 400
millions Of Its 935 million acres OF
arabic land under cultivation, yet 1t
raises, among other things, one-sixth
of the worlds corn supply. The farms
of America raise less that half as
much wheat to the acre as those of
England. yet even with her present
standard size could raise enough corn
to meet the needs OF Europe on the
land that is now lying unused.
Russia produces only ten bushels to
the acre of corn, but when science
has access TO her untold millions of
acres, and brings their capacity up to
the standard OF our own farms, then
she alone will be able to supply the
worlds cereal needs, with the excep-
tiOn OF maize and rice.
Less than third of the worlds pop

liabilities of the, from our viewpoint,
underfed continents of Asia and At

Europe or America. The average
meat consumption of the world Is 30
