CUT IN FREIGHT RATES
Dearborn independently

tD6arDOrn independently
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has ordered ten per cent cut
in railway freight schedules. 1t is
not very great concession to public
demand, but it is something. That
the result will be an increase in net
earnings by the roads would not be
strange, since any increase of busi-
ness can be accommodated without
increase of expense.
The cut, however, is not deep
enough. The claim to returns on in
vestment is extravagant, for invest
ment actually is smaller than capit-
alization. 1t is estimated that about
one-half of the capitalization of the
railroads of the coutry is water.
That can best be determined by
careful estimate of the cost of
physical reproduction. 1t is known
that the big transcontinental lines
were built more to enrich the pro-
jectors than for public service at
reasonable rates. Il is also known
that in other ways the manipulators
| of railroads have used them more
for stock-jobbing than for their le-
gitimate purpose, and that "Big
Business" is the profteer. The val
ues in shares held by small holders
vary, but rarely will case be found
where the investment has been at par.
A small holder of stock bought at
say half its face value is as clam
orous for full returns on his invest
ment-six per cent or its face value
| as if it had cost him the full amount.
The effect on the labor situation
remains to be seen. 1t should have
| none. The addition of one car of
| freight to each train, either in local
or through service, will take care of
| the ten per cent cut and the entire
wage cost of the train. This can be
demonstrated by taking the charges
for carrying one extra car for the dis
tance run, the cut in former rates
and wage cost of that car. Take
from the earnings the two latter items
and the net remainder will be larger
than many would imagine.
The action of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is praised, but if it
had been taken a year ago, whatever
benefit it may show wold have been
proved by this time. But year ago
| the commission was of the opinion
| that rates must be higher or the rail-
way would lose money. Even later
voluntary reductions in some classes
were denied permission.

That young aviator at Arcadia had
a thrilling experience while lost in
the Everglades, being chased up a
tree by>a panther and everything, but
here we have been laboring under the
impression tree-climbing is panther
head-liner ct.-Jacksonville Journal.
The Journals impression is correct.
A panther could climb clear to the
top of a tree, then come down and
meet a man not more than ten feet
from the ground. Perhaps the young
aviator saw a razor-backed hog. We
know a veteran Florida journalist,
who in his boyhood and dark night
mistook razorback for bear.

The first campaign to be waged by
the Jacksonville Journal, formerly the
Florida Metropolis, is a renewal of
the perennial agitation to lop the
"ville" off the city's name and make
it Jackson" 1t might preserve the
rhythm of the papers title, but we
fail to see where it would result in
anything but confusion for the city
Tampa Times.
The Times is correct. 1t would also
furnish much confusion to the state
and country at large. Jacksonville
has won for itself a place among the
great cities of the nation. There are
eighteen Jacksonvilles in the United
States. But if you say Jacksonville
to the average we'll informed man or
woman, he Or she thinks at once of
the metropolis of Florida. Not one
of the others has drawn anything but
local attention to itself. There are
nineteen Jacksons in the country, not
one of which has done anything to
distinguish itself. No reason to add
our Florida city to make the mediocre
score, and no more reason to abbre-
viate Jacksonville than to abbreviate
Louisville.

MISS LEAH BAIRD
LIKES WRITING AS

Miss Leah Baird. author and star
of when Husbands Deceive" the
photodramatic attraction of the
vaudeville and picture program
with which the Strand Theater in
augurates the season of 1929 to-
day. has never been able to decide
which OF her two leading talents
she most preferred-actingo or writ
ing.
So, when Leah Baird Productions
was organized. il was agreed that
more time should be allowed be-
tween pictures. so as to enable Miss
Baird to occupy the editorial chair
instead of the star dressing room.
Therefore, as soon as all the
scenes are photographed, Miss Baird
shuts herself up in the privacy Of
her home office" and writes her
next story. She is serene in the
knowledge that at the studio her
husband. the one who above all
others has her welfare most at
heart. is personally supervising the
cutting. editing and assembling
even as during production he per-
sonally supervised every detail.
1t is an iron-clad agreement be-
tween husband and wife that Miss
Baird shall not see any of the pic
ture until IT is fully completed and
is projected upon the screen for its
final showing before shipping to
New York.

Madisonville, July 15.-The Mad
isonvillo Agricultural Club, or they
style themselves, the Junior Pro-
gressive Workers Club, held a regu-
lar meeting at the residence of Mrs.
Smith in Madisonville, July 18th,
at 1880 p. m.
They at once proceeded to busi-
ness by calling the house to order
and announcing the object of the
meeting, it being for the purpose of
electing a president, as Marsolin
Rousseau had resigned, and to elect
five members to attend the Louisi-
ana State Boys and Girls Short
Course in Baton Rouge, July 80 to
August 5. The roll was called and
"a quorum was present. The treas
urer's report showed $4,000 in the
treasury with which to pay the ex-
penses of members to the Short
Course.
Upon motion duly seconded and
carried, the dues were ordered col
lected.
The election for president was
held and John Haas was selected.
The local executive committee or
program committee selected Edith
Koepp, Doris Goldate and Verma
Smit h.-s<ss 49, 81
Walker Smith and Doris Goldate
were chosen parish executive COM
mittee.
Then came the ba1loting for the
five t. have the privilege and honor
OF going to Baton Rouge for a week
to attend the Short Course and try
for all the prizes offered for excel
lency in club work. The following
were chosen: Edith Koepp, Doris
=Goldate, Verma Smith, Walker Smith
and John Haas.
The club was disappointed as a.
whole, for they had hoped to make
and lay aside enough money for all
the members and their faithful lead
er, Miss Henrietta Koepp, to spend
the week in Baton Rouge attending
the Short Course exercises and incl
lentally showing the State that Mad
isonyil1e and st. Tammany parish
are on the map when it comes to
active club work.
It does look as If there Is some
person or corporation OF financ1a
Institution with means that can come
forward and say to the young men'-
bers of the Madisonville Club "you
have done well, and to show you
that the same is appreciated, and
believing you will represent your
parish and town well, we will double
your funds, and all the club may
go and prove to the State that there
is no better club in Louisiana than
right here at Madisonville. !"
Several visitors were present at
this club meeting, among them be-
ing County Agent Price and his wife.
They assured the club members that,
they would be with. them in Baton
Rouge attending the Short Course
ana assured the children's parents
that they would do all they could to
look after the members.
