RAILROAD RATE REDUCTIONS
 Y OPPOSED BY PRESIDENTS

Washington, Jan. 32-Two railroad presidents completed statements today in opposition to railroad rate reductions, at the. interstate commerce commission s investigation into the reasonabiIity of transportation rates and also underwent prolonged questioning from commits sioners who heard their arguments. Dam iel Willard, of the Baltimore and Ohio drsng a long exchange with Conn1is- sioner Eech, insisted that lower costs of railroad operation could not be attained by abolition of passes for railroad em- ployes, private cars for executives or similar alterations of policy because their relative importance was little.
 s. M Felton, president of the Chi cago Great Western. however, n answer to questions from Commissioner Lewis, said that. railroads cannot be efficient iC- the employment of labor until the railroad labor board which controls them under the transportation act, al- lows them to establish rates of pay which correspond to the wages paid workers of- similar occupations in the communities which the railroads serve For seoticp hands, shop workers and the general run of ernr,loyes whose oc- | cupation is not specialized Mir. Feltor l,said. wages. are now appreciably higher than in enterprises outside.
 !. . There would be little hope indeed for the railroads of the United States he
 said, in his general argument against rate reductions If now at the first signs of an ending to a period of de. pression the interstate commerce com mission should require the reduction o1 rates or decrease the percentage of re. turn which railroads are to be allowed on their property investment

Washington. Jan. 12-The Michigan senatorial election contest between Hen " Ford and Truman H. Newberry which ended today in a victory for the latter was one of the most n-table and fought with as great heat as any engaging ei- ther branch of Congress in recent years.
 The roots of the contest run back into the early summer of 1918 when President Wilson personally requested MT. Ford to enter the race fir the Michigan Senator ship. The Detroit manufacturers en- trance into politics precipitated a s.tua- -ion without parallel in the State for he declined to state whether he would seek nomination and election as a Republican or as a Democrat, entering the race sub ssquently as a candidate for nomination on both tickets
 On the Republican ballot in the pri- mary which was held August 27, 1918, lIr Ford was opposed by MT. Newberry, former Governor Chase s. Osborn, and William Gerald Sin57son, of Datroit. As Democrat. he was opposed by James W Helme Of Adrian. MT Ford won the Democratic nomination handily and Mir.

Washington, Jan. 12 (By the 4. PO- Directing their efforts to settlement of minor phases of the Shantung dispute while awaiting word from Tokio and Picking regarding compromise proposals submitted by Arthur J. Balfour and Secretary Hughes for solution of the controversy over control of the Tsing- tao-Tsinanfu railway in the kiaochow leasehold, the Chinese and Japanese del- egates today agreed to the disposition of concessions for extension of the road. The two groups, however, failed to reach an agreement concerning the opening of the port of Tsingtao to the commerce of the world on equal terms. Another at tempt will be nadeatomorow, it was an- nounced.
 The Chinese proposed that Tsingtao be a "seH-opened" port, as distinguish ed from a treaty opened port To this the Japanese tentatively agreed, but de- sired more time to consider terms under which the port should be opened and ad- mnistered by China. No great difficulty is looked for in arriving at solution of th'~ question. however. but the many de- tails involved are said to consume a gooG ueal of time.

PRESIDENT ASKS BROAD
 POWERS IN NEW TARIFF LAW

Washington, Jan. 12-Broad powers asked for by President Harding in ad- minstering the proposed new tariff law with view to meeting unusual and changing world conditions which could not be anticipated by congress, would be ney. bill proposed today by Senator Shoot of Utah. rank1is republican on the senate finance committee
 The president would be authorized to increase or decrease tariff rates by not exceeding 50 per cent. of the rates fixed in the bill, to proclaim American valua- tion as the basis for assessing duties on any given list of imports to change rates within the limit of 50 per cent. so as to meet situations arising~.n American mar kets as a result of depreciated foreign exchanges, to prevent dumping in Ameri- can markets and to prevent discrimina- ton against American foreign commerce by foreign countries.
 Adjustment of rates to equalize differ ences in conditions of competition in trade of specified articles in the United States and competing foreign countries could be made only after investigation and hearing and would not be effective until within thirty days of their procla- nation Thirty days also would have to elapse before adjusted rates because of
 
 feet, and also before proclaimed A.neri- can valuation could be put into force. Besides these amendments, Senator Smoot also offered an amendment to the American valuation section of the Ford ney bill proposlng that where the duty Is based upon or regulated in any manner ! by the value of the imported merchandise the duty would be assessed upon actual market value or the wholesale price thereof at the time of the exportation in the principal market or markets of the 1 United States.
 Senator Smoot previously had proposed 1 an amendment to the bill providing for 1 assessing duties on the basis of the in- l voice value. of the imports and it is un- | derstood that he offered the alternative 1 proposal today largely in order to bring | before the senate plan favored by some members of the tariff commission.

WHERE LOST THINGS GO

Far, far away at the ranbow's lost end, Is the land where all lost things go beautiful land, all sunny and bright Where the downieSt clouds lie low Here you may see all the hopes Of men That died in their hearts long ago, And then have come to this beauteouS land, The land where lost things go. And then you may find the ambitions of men That were stifed before they were born, And they, too, have come to this beauteous land, The land where lost things have gone. But some happy day they'll return to the earth, These long lost ambitions and hopes; And the world will be happier freer and gay, And supreme will be joy on each hearth.
