ESCH-CUMM|NS
ACT THREATENED
BY PROGRESSIVES
Long and Short Haul Bill
Also Tackled on War De-
partnent Measure,

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 18.-Senate
leaders were thrown into confusion
today by threats Of progressives ITO
scalp the Esch-C ummins act.
Not content with promises of
action on farm relief measures, the
progressives, who have moved the
Senate to their bidding throughout
this session. have quietly made plans
to force immediate lowering of
freight rates. The first hint of this
purpose was given when Senator
Pittman of Nevada. acting from the
Democratic side, tackled the long
and short haul bill" upon the War
Department appropriation. measure
1t is realized that rail legislation
could not be acted upon if it was
taken up in order, so the expedient
of adding it to an appropriation bill
has been used.
May Vote Today
The band Of progressives and
Democrats are determined to force
a vote upon the amendment today
if possible and leaders are seeking
some means to stop them.
The long and short haul' bill, re
ported out of the Interstate Com
merce committee by its Democratic
chairman, Senator Smith, is vigor-
ously opposed by the railroads.
Briefly it would prevent them from
charging a lower rate for a long
than for a short haul 1t has pre-
viously been the custom of the
roads, according to charges made by
Pittman on the f1oar, to reduce their
rates along the waterways where
rates were cheap.
Pittman said that these low rates
were merely given to chase steam
boats out Of business.
Ruin for Canal
Now the charge is made that
transcontinental rates have been
lowered by the railroads to hurt
shipping from coast to coast through
the Panama Canal. Pittman says if
their plan was carried out as placed
before the interstate commerce com
mission, half the shipping of the
Panama Canal would be killed off
within a short time.
The Army appropriation measure
contained an appropriation of ST.
500 600 for the Panama Canal and
hence the railroad issue was ad-
vanced by Pittman. The railroads
now are protected by Section of
the Esch-Cummins act, which the
amendment would repeal.
Most of the leaders do not wish
to vote on the issue at this time
and thus another test of strength
between the ratic-progressive
coalition and the remainder Of the
Senate is in prospect. The success
of the coalition rests this time as on
previous occasions, upon how many
votes the Democrats can furnish

There's a Reason

The enormous rise in the cost
of practically everything surely
indicates there is no universal
over-production by American in
dustry and farm. Rather, it
seems to us, the figures quoted
below show a shortage, thus the
increase in retail prices.
A lack of available capital for
expansion explains restricted
production. Higher interest rates
and scarcity of money cause an
additional reason for added
cost, These, with taxes added,
are other reasons which may oc-
cur to you.
Look how prices of different
kinds of commodities and ma
terials compare with the prices
ruling in 1913. as analysed bv

A Story With a Moral

Once a-pon a time" there
,ived self-styled Live Wire
Merchant, in town about the
size of this.
He was said to pride him
self on his service, the quail
ty Of his goods and the reason
ableness of his prices.
Said he to the Newspaper
Man: Advertising doesn't pay.
1t costs too much. know val
ues when see them. Good
morning"
A few days there came to
the Newspaper Man from the
Live Wire Merchant a postal
card, bearing. a message from
the Live Wire-presumably
the card was sent to all his Gus
toners. This message was an
important one. from the view
point of the Live Wire.
The Newspaper Man remem-
bered the Live Wires assertion
that he KNEW costs and did
NOT BELIEVE in advertising.
An analysis was made which
showed
Postage on card mailed to
1000 families .-............. $1,000
Cost Of printing and adj
dressing --........................ So
Low estimate total ....-.. .S15.V0
The same amount of spar. in
the Newspaper Mans daily
would have cost the Live Wire
LESS THAN $3.50 and it
would have gone into the home
of more than $500 families in
stead Of only 1000.
The moral is there for him
who would see, for newspaper
advertising space is the most eff
tective and the cheapest known
form of advertising.
