WATER RATES ARE
HURTING BUSINESS
BANKERS AND MANUFACTURERS
OF WEST SEE DANGER IN
SITUATION
President of Chicago Association
Declares Existing Rail Rates
to Coast Dctriment to
Factories

New York,-Bankers and manufact
urers from the Middle West Monday
added their voices to those of trans
continental railroad officials in ask
ing the interstate commerce commits
sion to permit revision of rail rates
which would meet the lower freight
rates between Atlantic and Pacific
ports.
Tuesdays hearing was a resump-
ton of the series conducted in many
cities. the last at Chicago. 1t is ex-
pected the New York session will
conclude the commissions. accumula
ton of evidence for and against rail
rate reduction.
Witnesses were unanimous in de-
claring that the existing dffferential
in rail and water rates was hurting
the Middle West and that the carriers
should be permitted to reduce rates to
half the diversion of transcontinental
freight to steamship companies oper-
ating via the Panama canal.
President Dawes of the Chicago
Association of Commerce summarized
the testimony of other witnesses
when he said:
"There is a constantly diminishing
shipment of freight by rail from the
Middle West to the Pacific coast.
'If Panama canal transportation
hurts Midwestern railroads thereby
affecting manufacturers in the Middle
West. we should have an adjustment
that would equalize the rail and wat
er rates"
Mr.. Dawes said he came here to
help bring about direct rail trans
portation to the Pacific coast.
1--WE want the people of the Middle
West to stay there" he continued.
''We don't want them to bring their
manufacturing plants to the East be-
cause of cheaper freight rates to the
Pacific by water than by land. We
Should have a coast to coast rail trait
fic. The Panama canal should be
used to the benefit Of the entire coun-
try, but not to the detriment of the
Central states"
Robert Hula Of the Chicago Associa-
ton of Commerce asserted the freight
rate differential was keeping invest
ment capital away from the Middle
West and that every manufacturer
who could abandon his Midwestern
and move to the Atlantic
coast was doing so.

Queensland Government
Sells Homes to Workers

The labor government Of Queens
land, Australia, has expended approx
mately 100000 In the last eight
years 10 the erection Of between 5000
and 1900 houses which have been sold
to the people, said Premier Edward @.
Theodore In an interview at the Aus
tralian commissioner office, Al White
hall street according to the New York
Times.
Mr.. Theodore. who has been premier
of Queensland, the second largest state
In Australia, for nearly nine years, ar
rived in New York By way Of Canada
and was on his way to London TO ar
range for the refundlng of loans
amounting TO approximately Sl25,OO0,-
600.
Premier Theodore explained that the
housing shortage was quite as bad in
Australia as elsewhere and said that
under the scheme to build workers
homes the government bought the
land, erected the houses and then sold
them to individuals, who paid weekly
installments no higher than ordinary
rent. At the end Of fifteen or twenty
years the workman owned the home.
Queensland is spending $2,0O0000 this
year for 1000 dwellings to be sold In
the same way.
Premier Theodore said he expected
TO see Prime Minister Macdonald,
whom he knows, on his visit to Lon
don. He declared that Mr. Macdonald
now had the opportunity Of demon
strating that his policy was workable
and sane. If he succeeds said Mr..
Theodore, II Will have a great effect
throughout the British empire.
Among the accomplishments Of the
labor party in Queensland In nearly
nine years Premier Theodore recited
the institution OF the compulsory arbi-
tration act as among the most sub
stantlal, as It practically did away with
strikes.
Under government direction the cot
ton fields Of Queensland are being de
veloped Intensively. Farmers from the
United States will be asked In year
or two to migrate to Queensland to de
velop the cotton fields, with the in
ducements of land at low rates and
government assistance until their
farms yield substantial chops

How Times Change.

Who can remember the time when
fellow in need of a shave and hair
cut had only to take a squirt along
the curb for a red, white and blue
barber pole? Or, when a fellow
could satisfy his appetite in a lunch
room, buy his spectacles of an
optician, buy his daily rations at a
grocery and butcher shop, take it
home to cottage and have it cooked
by long-haired wife, buy his clothes
at the clothing store, have his watch
fixed by a repairman, have his
physical ailments cured by the family
doctor and be buried by an under
taker?
But "them days have gone for
ever" If he is not adept with a
safety razor, he must HE himself to a
tonsorial parlor or masseur to get
rid Of few days growth, and there
he finds a shop full of women folks
waiting their turn with the champion
bobber.
Once upon "a time a hand-me-down
and derby graced dummy on the
flag stones outside the clothiers.
and in those days fellow never had
to look up a satorial arcade for a
two-pants suit and four-in-hand.
When a man wanted a "ham-and'
in those happy, bygone days, he
never thought of looking up a
restaurant, a cafe, a cafeteria or a
roof garden.
Butcher shops and grocery stores
suited our respected ancestors and
they thrived on the fare, but modern
ity must call them delicatessen shops
and markets. A watch repairman
was watch repairman but now he is
lapidary. An optician was an
optician, but in these days he is an
optometrist.

ONLY A MONTH more of the
presidential campaign and then the
election At this writing none of
the campaign managers are sure Of
anything, but all have high hopes.
Personally, if we wanted to bet on
the result we wouldn't know where
to place our money. There is still
time for almost anything to happen
in the few short weeks into1 vening
before the election Hardly any
one expects LaFol'ette to win, but
he may get enough electoral votes to
throw the election into the House Of
Representatives If he does that
he will count it as victory.
THE MONTH OF October should
see all the presidential candidates
on the stump, although the active
campaigning of President Coolidge
will not be so extensive as that Of
LaFollette and Davis. The President
has not wanted to leave the White
House at all for stump speeches,
but his managers are insisting that
he 90 into the Middle West for at
least one and perhaps more speeches.
LaFoIlette is gaining ground in the
Middle West and the Republicans
want to check him if they can.
GENERAL PERSHING is still
one of the "big guns" at the War
Department despite his retirement
from active service. He is retain
ing his old offices in his capacity as
Chairman Of the World War Battle
Monuments Commission and does not
hesitate to ter his former associates
and subordinates what he thinks of
their military policies and the way
they are running the Army now that
he is out of it. After a man has
spent more than two score years
soldering, il is hard, Pershing finds,
to become private citizen again.

BLACKSMITH DOES
THRIVING BUSINESS
REPAIRING CARS
And Only Fiue Years Ago
A. L. Bass Was Shoe
ing Horses.

A. j.. Bass, owner of the black
smith shop which occupies the ground
floor of the building at the corner OF
Lamar and Austin streets. states that
during the eight years he has been in
business in San Antonio, he has seen
the blacksmithing trade change from
the old-fashioned trade. the chief
business Of which was the shoeing OF
horses, to the modern type of black
smithing. which specializes in the most
modern iron work and welding. Mr.
Bass states that where he used to
shoe six or seven horses a day, he
now does work on as many automo-
biles.
Mr.. Bass states that he has not
touched horse in five years. and he
declares that working on automobiles
is much more interesting than the
shoeing of horses used to be.
According TO Mr.. Bass the old days
when beneath the spreading chestnut
tree, the village smithy STOOD" are
gone forever. and today the prosper
Gus blacksmith shop will be found To-
Gated on bustling business thorough

Mr.. Bass states that his own shop
