ATTACK RATE-MAKING
PLAN

Council Bluffs, Two.-The rate
making system for railroads under
the Esch-C -Cummins law was attacked
by former Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo in a speech in this city. He
said the plan is based on an arbitrary
aggregate valuation of all railroads
and rates are fixed high enough to
earn 51a per cent net on that gross
valuation
Necessarily there is included rail
roads which should never have been
built and never will earn anything on
the investment" he said. "Other
railroads improvidently or unwisely
built will never earn dividends. The
Esch-C -Cummins bill is forcing the pub
lie to pay 51a per cent net on these
poor investments"
The speaker declared the law should
be repealed or amended He said
the only reasonable basis for rate
making valuation was the value of the
transportation service performed and
what the traffic could bear.

REACTION SNARLS

Philadelphia. President Gompers'
address before the American Legion
at New Orleans has brought snarls
from reactions spokesmen, who let it
be known that any understanding be-
tween the vets and union labor is un-
acceptable to them.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger,
which advertises- it's "unexcelled" edi-
torial service" emits this yowl:
"Gompers wants something. Year
in and year out he seeks to elect men
and influence legislation in favor OF
his labor policies. He is backing a
movement to place labor above and
outside the laws that apply to the
average citizen and hope to hamstring
the courts and amend the constitution
in labor's interest. He has been and
still is in politics up to his ears"
The above statement weakens, the
Public Ledger's professed claims or
the value of education, belief that
it breaches but does not seem te
practice.

PRE-WAR PRICES
Will Not Prevail For Ten
Years, Says College
Head

Boston.-There will be no drop of
prices to the pre-war level during the
next ten years.
The action of prices in other pc
riods of defation is useless for COM
parative purposes because conditions
are not similar
The above declarations featured an
address in this city by Prof Charles
J. Bullock, chairman of the Harvard
committee on economic research.
"The Harvard committee" he said,
could not accept the conclusion that
prices must return to pre-war nor
NAL because prices had reverted to
their former level after previous pc
riods of currency imitation in the early
and middle nineteenth century. The
committee can not find that the con-
Nitions exist today which brought
about lower price levels in the past.
"The gold situation must first be
considered 1t would seem that an
annual increment of $150,000,0
should be ample to prevent decline
of gold prices during the present de-
cade."
If the general trend of commodity
prices should decline during this de-
cade, he said, this would be due to
the financial policies pursued by the
leading commercial countries and not
to shortage of yellow metal.

Those vandal TourIsts.

Indignation has been aroused In
certain circles In Switzerland, reports
the Geneva correspondent Of the
London Daily News, by the vandalism
Of tourists In destroying the flora OF
the Alps. Some Of tho flowers are
becoming more and more rare, and
lovers Of the mountains have been
panied to find on their excursions
whole roots dragged from the soil and
lying dead.
This is especially the case with the
edelweiss, and the mountaineer writes
from Gryon to the Tribune de Geneve,
pointing out that on the Arete d'Ar-
gentine, one OF the rare spots In that
,neighborhood where the plant still
blooms, many roots were found pulled
up. The edelweiss Is somewhat diff
cult to pluck, and those who gather
II should cut the stem Of the flower
with knife. SO that the root may be
left to flower again next year for the
pleasure OF other tourists.

HOUSE OF LORDS
CHECKED
Why Not American AutOc-
racy, Asks LaFOllette
BY Senator LaFollette
Before A. F.. of l.. Convention,
Cs-os..~,4.


Before A. F. of L. Convention,
Cincinnati
What | propose is that congress
shall be enabled to override this
usurped judicial veto and to declare
finally the public policy just as it has
the power to override the presidential
veto SO that we may realize in fact
the fundamental purpose of the con-
stitution as declared in article /, Sec
tion l, that "All legislative powers
herein granted shall be vested in a
congress of the United States, which
shall consist of senate and house
of representatives"
A very good illustration of what
propose is found in the recent his
| tory of the house of lords of Great
Britain. That body, as you know, con-
stitutionally has dual character. II
| is both a law-making body and q
court. Our supreme court, as usurp-
ing legislative powers, has become
somewhat like the British house OF
lords. You will recall that several
years ago the house of lords refused
to approve the budget adopted by the
house of commons, taxing landed es.
states for the promotion of a great
program of social legislation. This
veto so provoked the popular branch
of the British parliament that the next
| general election was fought. on the
issue that hereafter if the house OF
lords withheld approval of any meas
ure of the house of commons, the lat
ter could, by repassing the bill, nullify
the action of the lords. The British
people overwhelmingly supported the
house of commons.
Even after this election the lords
were still inclined to rebel agains'
giving up their veto power, but
through the influence of the prime
minister the king was induced tt
threaten to pack the house of lords
with enough new members to bring
about the passage of the law. The
result was that the lords yielded anc
the British government became te
that extent more representative.
| Can we not do as much in this
country as the British did? Can we
not reduce our federal judiciary te
its constitutional powers? If not
we can at least arrest its further
growth.

MINE OWNERS
FINANCES BEHIND
KEENEY TRIAL

Charleston, w. Va.-The trial of
c. F. Keeney, president of West Vir-
ginia district, United Mine Workers,
on indictments growing out of the
Logan county march of miners, open
ed here after vigorous protest by
Keeney's attorneys.
The defense charged that the state
is not represented at the trial, that
the prosecution is in charge of the
Logan Coal Operators Association,
and that the trial is part of the cam
paign of anti-union coal owners. The
attorneys also charged that witness
fees and other expenses of the prose-
cution are being paid by the coal
owners.
