IS. W. T.
Answer--1nternation Paper 5s and
United States Rubber IS belong in the
same general class. Standard Gas and
Electric 6s, although not high
grade, are backed by ample earnings.
They may be more acceptable than the
Sinclair rs. If you are not satisfied
with Royal Baking Powder common
stock, take the preferred as sub
stitute. New York Telephone pre-
ferred stock, paying 6h per cent and
selling around 1101a, would be good
substitute for the Swift stock We do
not believe your mother should buy
French 8 per cent bonds. These bonds
we consider sound as far as principal
and interest are concerned, but, as
We have stated on numerous occasions,
they are susceptible to political and
economic influences and might lead to
unnecessary worry.

Kansas Hearing
To Reopen Farm
Rail Rate Question
Application for Cuts Will
Strengthen H a N d $ of
Congressman Seeking Re-
peal of Guaranty Clause

FROM The Tributes Washington. Bureay
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The whole
question of agricultural freight rates
will be reopened before the Interstate
Commerce Commission December IL.
when hearings will be started on an
application by the Kansas Railroad
Commission for second reduction in
the rates on grain, grain products and
hay. Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and half a
dozen other states Joined with Kansas
after the application was made.
No specific reduction is sought by
the Western states. A year ago they
asked for decrease equal to the in
crease of August, 1920, The commits
sion granted approximately half that
amount. Clyde Reed, Of Kansas. head
of the Joint committee appointed to
present argument for reductions. ;ndi-
Gated the states now hope to get the
other half.
1he Western states are asking 4be
reduction in rates on farm products
without regard to the earnings of
railroads. 1t is their purpose to show
that present rates make profitable
farming impossible.
The action of the Western states
very probably will embarrass the Ad-
mlnisstration. By agitating the rate
question before the commission they
no doubt Will strengthen the hands of
.hose members of Congress who are
clamorlng to repeal the so-calied guar
nF ha
transportation act The President
does not want this section of the law
tampered with. He believes it is
sound despite Its apparent unpopu-
larity in the West.
ne west appears to think it will
be simple matter for the I. C. C. to
reduce freight rates once Section I5 of
the Esch-Cumniins act is repealed.
There are those, however, who take the
view that such action by Congress
Will affect In no way the commissions
dealing with the rate problem. II still
VIII be up to the commission TO give
the roads enough revenue to meet ex-
penses and provide at least so.,e profit
to those who have money invested in
the roads.
Agitation of the agricultural rate
question is certain to bring forward
again the question of wages. The
commission has nc authority over
wages, but it must take into consid-
eration the question of wages in rate
making, for far more than half the
cost Of operation is that of wages.
President Harding is known to favor
bringing the Railway Labor Board to
Washington or uniting the board and
commission in one body so that the
question Of rates and wages can be
dealt with simultaneously. He is ex-
pccted TO make recommendation to
Congress in his Decembcr message.
The Vests demands for further re-
daetions in rates on farm products not
unlikely will develop complications
that may help the President in get
ting through snch legislation
