LOWER FREIGHT
RATES NEED Of
NATION-- HOOVE R
This Action, Coupled With
Resumption Of Railroad
Expansion, will Aid in
Economic Betterment.
By The Associated Prcss.)

Washington. Feb. 3.-Reduction
Of freight rates and resumption of
( irallroad expansion are the two
sources from which the country
may get its strongest impulses to-
wards economic bettermcnt. Sec
irctary Hoover declared today. ap-
Ipearing as a witness in the inter-
state commerce commission inves
I tigatiOn of transportation charges.
The first, he said, depends on a
reduction of operating costs, and
THE second on restoration of rail-
way credit,
Transportation earnings. now
"periously close to bond interest"
Mr.. Hoover said, make it impOssi-
bic for the commission to give i'm
mediate important rate relief" but,
he declared that improving condi-
tionS would allow downward re-
vision during the present year.
When such revisiOns were made,
he said, the commission should ap-
Iply them first to the primary basic
commodities - agricultural prod
! ucts, coal. metals and timber-eVen
lif passenger rates, class rates and
! less-than-carload shipments had to
! be charged more to protect rail-
oad revenues. This course should
he adopted, he argued, because the
series of horizontal percentage in
creased by which the rates were ad-
ivanced had distorted the existing
"a brio of commerce in the United
States and was moving industry
as a whole toward its sources of
raw materials" Incidentally rail
wages should not be expect
ed to go back to pre- war
levels, he said, but should follow
downward, step by step, the cost
of living" and the rate decreases
should be so applied as to maintain
railroad revenues, and restore the
confidence of investors in ultimate
railroad earning power.
1--WE talk glibly of giving billions
of credits to foreign countries, to
| increase our farm exports" Mr..
! Hoover said. II wish to say with
all responsibility for the statement
THAT a billion dollars spent upon
i&merican railways will give more
/ employment to our people, more
advance to our industry, more as
| sistance to our farmers, than twice
that sum expended outside the
| IfrCntiers of the United States-and
there will be greater security for
investors"
There is danger that in the
present period of low earnings and
little traffic, the needs of the rail-
roads in new construction, equip
ment, betterments and maintenance
will be neglected, Mr., Hoover add =
ed, with resulting breakdown of
transportation when a full load is
put upon them by industrial re-
sumption. This should be averted,
even by the extension of govern
ment Endorsement of railroad Sc
curities whose sale would give
bonds for expenditure on equip
ment. The commissions efforts
should be devoted, he said, to a
policy of maintaining public con-
troll Of monopoly, and at the same
time maintaining private initiative" !"

The eastern part of Free Stone

The topography is said to be ideal

stranger to penetrate.
Martial law was declared in ef-

the middle of January, Governor
Ncff setting forth in the declara-

The declaration Of martial law

command of the state forces,
moved his headquarters from
Mexia to league shortly after 5
a. m. The move was the first pub

Within a short time after the SOL

taken today outnumbered the rang

1t was said they would be taken to
Camp Wintergarden, about half

Citizens of league offered their
cooperation to the military today.
A place for soldiers was provided
and offers of assistance in every

Stopping suddenly in the midst
of citation of instances Of lack

SOLDIER BONUS
To De SUBJECT
OF CONF FERENCE
Ways and Means of Fi1anC-
ing viii Be Discussed BY
Harding and Senate Lead
erS Early Next Week.
(By The Associated Press, ,

Washington, Feb. 3.--Ways and
means of financing the soldiers
bonus will be discussed at con-
ference between President Harding
and republican leaders of the house
and senate early next week, it was
stated today at the White House.
1t is understood that the various
suggestions advanced would be can
vassed with view to determining
upon a definite program.
A decision as to methods Of rails
ing the necessary revenue, reached
in agreement between the adminis-
tration and congressional leaders,
would solve the most difficult
problem before the house commit
tee charged with drafting the ad-
justed compensation legislation and
would be expected to remove what
otherwise might prove subjects of
serious 6ssGgres ment between the
house and senate.
Beginning Cash Payments.
Members of the ways and means
committee said today that the bill
to be reported to the house, prob
ably within two weeks, would pro-
vide for beginning the cash pay
ments to the former service men
on January I, 1928. They said
this would give time in which to
raise the revenue and to pass upon
the applications for the cash bonus.
Re-enaCtment of the excess prof
its tax as a method of financing
the bonus was urged before the
ways and means committee today
by Representatives Woodruff, of
Michigan, and Brown, of Wiscon-
sin, both republicans. They said
this was n just,tax which would be
more popular than some others.
Opposition to such proposal
was voiced by some of the republi-
can members of the committee.
Both Mr.. Woodruff and Mr.. Brown
opposed any form of sales tax, rs
did II. G. Mckenzie, of Walton, N.
Y, representing the American
Farm Bureau Federation, and Ed
ward F. McGrady. Legislative rep
resentative of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Increases In Taxes.
Mr.. Brown suggested that the
treasury might be able to obtain
considerab BILE sums from slight in
creases in income surtaXes; tax on
stock dividends and tax OF one
fifth of one per cent on the sales of
stocks and bonds.
Representative Nolan. republican
California, told the committee there
was no need to levy any additional
taxes to pay the bonus if congress
would cut down, the army and navy
appropriations Pointing to the
agreement at the arms conference
for naval holiday and the scrap-
ping Of many existing ships, Mr..
Nolan declared that great saving
could be made In the cost Of the
naval establishment. He also urged
that the army be cut to 100000
men.
Opposition to the kind Of cash
bonus proposed was voiced by Rep
resentative Griffin, democrat, New
York, n veteran of the Spanish
American war. He said the gov
ernment, as cash prouosition
should return the money the SOL
diers paid for insurance and as
family allotments The vocational
training and other plans should be
nut into force as a matter Of
Justice, he added.
