RATE. REDUCTION IS DEFENDER
Railroad Man Tells Of Proposed Freight
Rate Cut to Coast

shington-Proposed reductions Of
freight rates on traffic from Mississlp-
ri river valley points to the Pacific
coast via Southern ports were defended
Tuesday, before hearing Of the inter-
state railroad commission by represen-
tatives of Mid Western railroads.
w. NJ Rhott. foreign freight man.
ager of the Illinois Central, said the
roads proposed to make the reduction
"because business is not moving from
the Middle West at the present
charges"
First class freight rates from Chi
cago to New Orleans are now 1925 per
hundred pounds, he explained, while
from Chicago to New York they are
$1.57h.
"Thus nobody will ship first class
freight destined for the Pacific coast
via New Orleans.' he said, "when he
can get into New York cheaper and
get better and more frequent boat
service via the canal"
The lower water rates from New
Orleans would not equalize this, the
witness insisted.
as there anything unlawful then in
thesereductions?" A. L. Humburgh,
counsel for the Illinois Central. asked.
Nothing at ALL" the witness re-
piled, "and something very desirable
from the standpoint of public policy In
increasing the use OF Panama canal
facilities and of competitive service to

CONGRESS ASKED
FOR SALES TAX
PRESIDENT HARDING URGES
SALES TAX AS METHOD FOR
PROVIDING BONUS
Executive Believes American People
viii Accept Levy for Veterans
And Thereby Not Burden
ReadJustment

Washlngton.-President Harding in
formed congress Thursday he consid-
cred a general sales tax the only feas-
ible method of raising funds for SOL
diers' bonus.
The text of the presidents letter fol-
lows: ~ : 3.
"In accordance with the :mf6mise
made to yourself and your associates
on the senate and house commlyees,
charged with the responsibility OF Tor
mulating proposed bonus legislation,
have carefully looked into the program
of taxation which has been suggested.
In addition thereto, j have made in
quiry into the feasibility of issuing
either short-tlme treasury notes or
longtime bonds to meet he financial
obligations which the proposed legis-
lation will impose. 1t is not, possible
to command to you either of the plans
suggested.
1T is fully realized how great is
the difficulty which confronts the
congress in solving this difficult prob
lem. i am aware the strong senti-
ment in congress Is in favor of this adj
justed compensation. l have spoken
approvingly myself, always with the
reservation that the bestowal shall be
made when 1t may be done without
such Injury to the country as will null
| lify the benefits to the ex-service men
themselves which this expression Of
gratitude is designed to bestow.
'Inasmuch as the treasury Is to be
called upon to meet more than S6,00O,-
WO,OOO of maturing obligations In the
sixteen months Immediately before us,
1t is not possible to recommend the
issue Of several hundred millions of adj
dltlOnal short time notes. Further ex-
cesslve borrowings would likely undo
all that has been accomplished In re-
adjusting interest rates and stabiliz-
Ing the financial world, both vitality
essential to the resumption of indus
trial and commercial activities.
Granting that 1t is not fair to op-
pose any proposed plan without Of
fering substitute, let me repeat that
believe the American people will ac-
cept the levy of general sales tax
to meet the proposed bonus payments
and we should contribute therby, no
added difficulties TO the problems OF
reimbursement.
II take II that the ex-service men
themselves are no less concerned than
others about the restoration of bust
ness and the return to abundant en-
plOyment. Those Of their wounded OF
sick comrades who were impaired by
their war service, are being cared for
with the most liberal generosity the
nation can bestow. There are here
and there exceptional cases of neglect
and attending complaint, but we are
seeking them out and correcting with
all possible speed. 1t has not been pos.
slble to meet all the demands for spec.
lal disqualification hut we are building
10 that end, without counting the cost
We are expanding four hundred mil.
lion dollars year in compensation
disqualification and rehabilitation
These things are recited to reassure
you that such delay as will enabl,
congress to act in prudence for the
common good, will have no suggestion
OF unmlndfulness or ingratitiude."

Revised Version Of Old Story Leaves
Welshman the Winner over Ad.
mittedly Canny Scotsman.

Admittedly, this may be an old
story, but 1t has the distinction Of
possessing new twist at the end:
A person died. He willed all his
earthly possessions to be divided
among an Englishman, an Irishman
and Scotsman. But the will was
conditional; each OF the legatees was
to place five pounds in the testator's
coffin. On the day appointed (by Fate)
the Englishman placed a five-pound
note as willed; the Irishman collected
IL number OF coins shillings,
slxpences and coppers-and made up
his contribution Of five pounds, which
he placed on the Englishman's fiver
The Scotsman then made out a check
for Is pounds and, pocketing the 10
pounds already deposited, threw in his
check, with the remark, That's easi-
err"
A month later, when the Scotsman
perused his pass book he was surprised
to find that his check had been cashed.
