railroads apparently are earning divi-
dends at the present time materially
in excess of the flair return" These
roads are required to divide their
excess earnings half and half with
the government. Whether the gov
ernment will continue this condi-
ton, holding back for the weaker
roads, and recapture for the public
treasury half of the excess earnings:
or whether the commission will de-
eide to give shippers the benefit Of
excess railroad profits by reducing
rates to the point where 5s4 per cent
will not be exceeded, will como in
for discussion.
See Regional Reductions.
Roads in the east and south are
showing a remarkable return to
prosperity while those Of the West,
hard hit by the farmers lingering
depression. are coming back some
what more slowly. Regional reduc-
tions may be the answer, IL reduc-
tions are decided on at all. The
commission has indicated that it has
given the farmer the benefit Of re-
ductions greater, perhaps. proper
tionately than reductions in other
lines and a general decrease in rates
on farm products is not anticipated
Most of the roads serving agricultural
communities are today among the
number earning less than the fair
return"
q All factors relating TO the transpor-
tation situation, including the interest
rate paid by railroads borrowing to re-
plenish their rolling stock and motive
power. are understood to be under con-
sideration in the preliminary survey. So
also IS the continued huge volume of
traffic which has been rising conttnu-
levels unapproached heretofore by sea-
sonal movements. The latest week for
which there is a record shows car load
ings totaling almost 100000 cars-a
figure unthought Of in any other May
recorded.
Increase of 20 Per Cent.
From January 1 to May IL, inclusive,
according to figw%s made public by the
American Railway Association, the num-
ber Of cars loaded with freight on Glass
] roads increased by about 20 per cent
over the number during the same period
Of the preceding year. The increase over
the corresponding period in 1921 was al

Tuskegee Watching For Next
 Moue In Hospital Situation

gro personnel scheduled to arrive this week has been detained. There Is much favorable comment on the rumor the government may change the hospital from negro to a white hospital. It Is generally felt that this would be a happy solution to the problem. There are 90 other like hospitals in the United States. and there are states where the per sonnel can be colored without fric- tion, or injury to eithe" race. and it Is the general opinion that the gov ernment should live up to the con- tract with the citizenship of Tus- kegee, and give to the negro race a hospital where they can have abso- lute control without racial trouble
 The impression has gone out that the people of Tuskegee and Macon county may harm the Normal in- stitute. The fight that is being made on the part of the white citi- zenship is that the Normal school may be protected. Peaceful rela- tionships have always existed be- tween the town of Tuskegee, and the institute, and if the government lives up to the contract made to the people of Tuskegee before it was decided that the hospital should be located here, the white people of this section will continue to defend the institute.
