EXPRESS RATE CUTS
ORDERED FOR SOUTH
BY FEDERAL BOARD

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Express
rates throughout the country were
ordered readjusted today by the in
terstate commerce commission.
which authorized general increases
in the eastern zone, approximating
eight per cent and slight reductions
in the west and the south.
The decision will be effective Jan.
uary /, 1925.
The decision was the result of a
general investigation by the com
mission in which representatives of
state railroad commissions partici.
pated. Wide differences in rates be-
tween the southern, middle western.
Rocky mountain and Pacific coast
zones were ordered brought more
nearly to a common level.
Fixing the basic rate in 1912, the
commission proceeded on the theory
that the cost of transporting ex-
press in western and southern terri
tory was more expensive than in the
east. The investigation resulted in a
change in that theory, it havine
been shown that the cost in the east
is higher than in the west because
of extensive free delivery systems
and extra terminal service at east
ern points which is not given SC
generally in the west.
The present rates have the 1912
rates as their basis and include sew
eral horizontal increases which have
been granted since 1918.
The basic rate for the first fifty
miles haulage in eastern trunk line
territory is now approximately Is
cents. Under the readiustment the
rate would be approximately 26
cents. The southern basic rate of 20
cents, which was horizontally in
creased to so cents, would be de-
creased to approximately % II
cents.
In the Prairie states the basic
rate of "a cents, which was horizon
tally increased to So cents, would
be readiusted to about 81 cents. The
mountain territory basic rate of 2S
cents, increased to SO cents since
1918, would be brought down to APP
proXimately 81 cents.
The west coast rate of "a cents,
horizontally increased since 1918 to
80 cents, would be reduced to about
81 cents.

failure instead of a success of mar
rage is no reason why you should.
Every marriage is as much an lndl-

There are no sure-fire successes
in any line of human endeavor.
There is always the chance and the
danger of failure. Nothing risk,
nothing have,' applies to matrimony
as we'll as fortune, and we are poor
sports il we are not willing to at
least sit in at the great game of
hearts and try our luck.
But, without doubt, the reason
that there is such a decline and
fall off" in matrimony, as Mr.. Veg
might say, is because of the awful
examples that we see so often about
US. For most of the wedding bells
now are rung by the immature and
reckless, too inexperienced to real
ize the danger they run. Older men

she were to blame for the cost of
supporting a family, he doesn't
make a husband seem a desirable
possession to his daughters And
when they do marry they do it with
their fingers crossed, hoping that
they will have better luck than their

of it because he hasn't functioned as
a majority leader and made the fight
for Coolidge policies in the affirma-
tive and aggressive fashion. SO Mr..
Lodge will not help make the plat
form, will not be in the limelight
at all, and the friends of the presl-
dent are eager to have the country
know what's going on so that the inn
preston of Coolidge strength and
leadership will be broadcast.
William NJ. Butler is almost as 81
lent as his hero, Calvin Coolidge. In
talking with Fred Upham, the ma
tional treasurer, Mr.. Butler, speak
ing on his own retiscence, said:
Compared to me, Cal Coolidge is a
chatter box"
This means that Mr.. Butler has
been slow to make pledges and prom,
Uses. There have been no appoint
ments promised, no cabinet port
fOlios distributed, no commitments of
any kind. The old line leaders look
askance and wonder how the money
for the campaign L. going to be
raised if the individual leaders aren't
given a little more leeway and they
hope that, politically speaking, the
Coolidge management will loosen up
before autumn comes.
But Mr.. Butler is no novice. He
learned his politics at the elbow OF
former Senator Murray Crane, of
Massachusetts, a skillful master of
political strategy. He has converted
the Republican convention into some
thing less cumbersome than it was
in 1920. 1t is more cohesive. 1t is
the kind of convention that aches
to be led and controlled. 1t wants
ha vice presidential candidate Sc.
leCteG in advance, but Mr.. Butler is
wiso.r refraining from an insistence
on any one candidate, OF the talk
of Major General Hartford, Repre-
sentative Burton. of Ohio, or Senator
CGy1er, of Kansas, he listens but
