RAIL RATE SAYING
 $50 MILLION YEAR
Combined Reduction in Freight Charges and War Tax on Fares Ex-
 eeeds, Naval Cut Planneds--1o0 l
 Million on Grain Alone.

Omoha, Jan. S.-A million dollars e day will be saved by the American people in 1922 in freight and pas senger rates, according to estimates just made at Union Pacific headquar- ters in Omaha. The immense saving is due to the reduction in rates, which go into effect this week, plus the sum saved by the abolition of the govern ment tax on freight bills and passen- ger tickets, which became effective January 1.
 The farmers are to be given the re- duction in the cost of transporting their farm products to market, which they have declared necessary before their corn and wheat and other pro- ducts can be moved, and the benefits derived from these reductions in transportation costs should be reflect ed in the cost of living everywhere.
 Bigger Than Naval Cut.
 The reduction in railroad rates is a bigger thing for the people than the cut effected by the arms conference in the American navy, according to the figures, which show the navy cut to be a saving of about 200 million dollars, while the railroad cut and the abolition of the war tax will save something like $40 million dollars annually.
 The big granger" railroads, which traverse the great grain producing section between the Great Lakes and the Rock Mountains, are hardest hit by the cut, but the railroads in every part of the country will come in for a reduction in revenue as result of the cut in rates.
 It is estimated by F. W. Robinson, freight traffic manager of Union Pa- cific lines, that the saving to the far mers on products of the farm shipt from points on that system alone will be $3,956,570 for 1922.
 In addition to the reductions that will accrue to farmers and shippers tributary of the Union Pacific, Mir. Robinson estimates that the reduced rates on products of the farm will in the aggregate be upwards of 100 mil lion dollars, the loss being divided among the big grain carrying rail- roads west of Chicago.
 Relief from War Taxes.
 But the saving in transportation costs, tremendous as 1t is, is only about one-half of the saving which will accrue as result of the removal of the war tax on freight bills and passenger tickets, according to the railroad men. Based on gross re- ceipts of the railroads of the country for the year 1920, the saving to the public by the elimination of the war tax on freight business would amount to $129, ,752,365, and on passenger tickets for the same period, saving of $103, ,104, ,652, or a total saving in government transportation tax of $232, 2,857,017.

MARKED BUSINESS GAIN IS EXPECTED
Comptroller of the Currency Cris' singer Makes Hopeful Forecast for 1s22-Looking Eagerly Toward
 Restored Prosperity.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Indications that the turn of the year is being marked by a striking improvement in the business and economic outlook" of the country and the world general ly were discussed tonight by comp troller of Currency Crissinger in a forecast for 1922.
 There can be no doubt, MT. Cris- singer said, that "both the political and economic index figures are reg istering improvement at this time "when political and economic condi- tions so intimately "inter-act."
 "Taking this wider view," he added q feel that we may be justified in re- garding the outlook as altogether re- assuring, and that the new year is coming to us with guarantees that justify the most optimistic forecasts.
 "In view of these accomplish ments,'s he continued, i've may an ticipate confidently that the year 1922 will take it's place in history as one of the landmarks in the record of hu- man progress. Men have turned their faces definitely in the right direction; they have set their feet in the paths to restore security and prosperity; they have fixed their minds on the higher and better things"
 "Every indication of favorable out come in these great underlying con alterations has been practically sim ultaneous with distinct turn for the better in the affairs of business and industry. The very promptness with which the commercial community has thus responded is the most emphatic testimony to the readiness and the eagerness of the business world to hape it's course toward restored pros perity and resumption of the great peaceful activities of civilization"

HE F[ORE COUNTY WILL BUILD ROADS
Voters of Oklahoma Approve Big Bond Issue for Permanent High ways-System Planned Will
 Help Polk County.

Poteau, Ok, Dec. 30.-With but six boxes to hear from at noon today the $800,000 good roads bond issue car ried in Le Fibre county at the cleo tion yesterday by a safe margin, the missing ballots not being enough to alter the result. The vote stood 4,OO7 for and 2,032 against with probably not more than 100 votes contained in the six boxes yet to report. These precincts are Milton, Wall, Big Cedar, Cushing, Ludlow and Conser. At Octavia no election was held.
 The election is regarded as tri- umph for the good roads movement and the fact that the proposition car ried by so wide a margin, leaves no doubt as to the sentiment in Le Fibre county. It is announced that con- struction work will be started just as soon as satisfactory contracts can be obtained, bid for the bonds, offer ing a premium having already been been tentatively accepted. Construc- tion work will be under government supervision and government aid to the amount of S40O,000 is anticipated.
 One road, under the plan, will ru.. from Talihina at the extreme south western part of the county diagonally across the county northwest at Fort Smith and another from a point sev- eral miles below Heavener, connecting with the Talihina- Fort Smith road at Poteau.
 Under the law TO per cent of the vote must be favorable. to the bond issue, thus total of 3624 votes was required to carry the proposition, the total of 4007, reported at noon guar anteeing the success of the issue.
 The actual construction of the roads will be under government su- pervision.
 The city of Poteau voted 1,210 ma jority, there being 1251 votes for and Al against. Banks closed and busi- ness men operated their cars turnout the day, nearly 50 in number, and it is believed that every vote that could possibly have been brought out was boiled.
 Heavener east a very light vote with a majority against, the vote standing 58 to Il.
 The Le Fibre county road program will be of great benefit to Polk coun- ty, if the present plans are carried out. The north and south road that is to be built south of Heavener will afford an outlet from Polk county
