RATES ON SALT REDUCED
Kansas Industries TO Receive Material
Benefits Soon.

Kansas salt industries will receive
material benefits thru freight reduc-
tons to be made at an early date
Several of the plants which closed last
fall may reopen under the new rate
schedule, according to announcement
today by Clyde NJ. Reed, chairman of
the public utilities commission.
The Kansas commission received in
formation today from the Frisco rail-
road to the effect that within thirty
days a reduction would be granted on
rates from Lyons to st. Louis. The
rate is to be cut from 20 Y cents to
IS cents. The Rock Island has made
a similar reduction from Hutchinson
to st. Louis. Both roads offer to pub
lish similar tariffs with other railroads
from St. Louis to Chicago The rate
from Kansas to Chicago has been Is
cents and from Louisiana salt fields
to Chicago, rs cents. Kansas pro-
ducers sought a rate which would per-
nit competition.
The Missouri Pacific has not an
nounced its plans to change salt rates.
Chairman Reed asserted today that he
believed the new rate to st. Louis
might give a reduction over the Santa
Fe to Chica go.

Effective Defense Against the

ALLEN HAS NOTHING TO SAY
Governor Refuses to Comment
on Meetings in Topeka.
No Statement on Third Term
for Several Days.

Further than to take issue on the
industrial court resolution, Governor
Allen today refused to comment on
the action of the state convention of
the Taxpayers league The governor
did not attend sessions of the league
and was not included in the list of
speakers. Emmett d. George, private
secretary to the governor, and num-
Der of the governors appOintees, were
close followers of the proceedings. The
administration took stenographic
report Of the sessions.
Asked today for a statement as to
the league meeting, the governor re-
fused to discuss the convention fur
Their than to make a brief formal
statement. To press representatives
attending today's conference the gov
ernor dictated the following state
ment:

Watson's Fire Effective.
Administration friends and state Of
dcials expressed keen satisfaction to-
day over the manner in which NJ. w.
watson, state highway engineer, with
stood the erossfire of questions from
league leaders. Watson was doubtless
the most effective state house speaker
on the program.
Governor Allen declined to comment
on third term plans as they may be
affected by league action. He said he
did not expect to make a statement
regarding the third term for at least
several days.
The governor will discuss the league
action in an editorial in his paper, the
Wichita Beacon, he said. Such dis
cussion. he said, would be as a pub

Kansas Has Hopes in Meeting
of 1. C. C. in Washington.
First Opportunity for RestOra-
ton of State Control.
CLYDE REED TO CONFERENCE
Chairman of p. II. G.. Sees First
Plan of Cooperation.
Meeting Under Provision of
Federal Transportation Act.

Clyde NJ Reed, chairman Of the
public utilities commission, will leave
Saturday for Washington, where he
will attend a conference of represen-
tatives of state commissioners with
members of the interstate commerce
commission. The conference has been
called by the I. c. c. under a pro-
vision of the federal transportation
act. Reed believes the conference may
be the opening wedge for restoration
of at least a portion of state control
Of rail rates.
The federal act provides that the
I. c. c. may hold joint hearings and
conferences with state commissions
affecting transportation charges. The
conference to be held in Washington
March IT may develop a new policy
regarding rate making, according to
belief of Kansas commission mem
bers.
''The request of the interstate COM
merce commission for a conference
with a committee of the state COM
missions on March IT is a complete
reversal of it's previous policy and
is the most important development in
the railroad rate making situation,
Mr.. Reed said today.
Decline Cooperation.
"a committee, of which I was
members, representing the state COM
missions, had a conference with the
interstate commerce commission in
January, 1921, at which time we
sought to make effective the section
of the transportation act providing for
cooperation between the national and
state commissions. 1t was a pleasant
conference but entirely fruitless. The
interstate commerce commission de-
clined any cooperation.
I'm January and February, 1921,
the Kansas commission specifically
called the attention of the interstate
commerce commission to the provi-
sion of the transportation act author
izing joint hearings where state rates
were concerned and discrimination
had been charged and requested a
conference; The Kansas commission
''The change in the policy of the
interstate commerce commission is
most important and will have a far
reaching effect upon the adjustment
of rates. L believe that a plan can be
worked out whereby cooperation be-
tween the national and state commits
sions can be brought about and the
state rates left in control of the state
commissions, which was the intention
of congress when it passed the trans
portation act.'
