"Dear Sir:-In a recent local

RAILROAD RATES
BEING DISCUSSED

Of immense Importance to those
interested in railroad rates in the
west, is the conference being held
in Washington which opened on
July 18th, and in which Corpora
tion Commissioner Amos A. Belts
of Arizona is playing an import
ant part. Although reluctant to
give up active campaigning for the
congressional nomination while his
opponents were so busy, Com
missioner Belts felt that the i'm
portance Of this work and its far
reaching effort demanded his per-
sonal attention and that the pos
sible results obtained therefrom
were so great for the people Of
Arizona that he rould not resist
the opportunity for additional serv-
ice.
In March, 1925, Congress
adopted the Hoch-Smith resolution
directing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to make a general IN
vestigation of the nation with the
purpose Of affording where and TO

rates on products Of agriculture

These hearings were conducted
in Chicago starting September

these hearings, the committee ap-

and remarkably high honor to fall
to the State of Arizona when the
commercial Importance, population
and wealth of the many states in
volved is considered. There are
81 state commissioners in these
states with a total property In

aggregating about nine billions
of dollars.

sage states:
From the heart of Zion l wish to
send to the farflung Zionist community
the world over, my deep felt and pray
erful wishes for the success of the
lyar, Zionist Organization Month, which
is intended to implant more deeply the
Zionist faith, courage and determination
in the hearts of our mobiiized ranks
and to stimulate the recruiting of our
non-ZiOniSt brethren for the work on
behalf Of our peoples future and our
peoples Land.
My present visit to Palestine has
confirmed my earliest conviction that
Palestine needs. above all, strong
Zionist Organization to give direction,
guidance and sustenance to our grow
ing Nishub and to provide moral super
vision over the Jewish construction eff
forts regardless of by whom they were
begun or by whom they are being car
ried out. \ stronger Zionist Organi-
zatiOn means n stronger Jewish Pal
estine, Il greater loyalty to the Zionist
Organization spells a greater loyalty to
the Jewish nation and the bearing of
the corporate responsibility for the en-
tire task. our organization does not
desire control and certainly does not
wish TO monOpolize the Jewish effort
in Palestine. However, efforts in Pal
cstine without the lighting of the way
by our Organization would head us to-
ward serious mischief.
Nov is the time when every Jewish
brain should think and every Jewish
nerve should reach out toward ameli-
Grating the greatest need in the his
tory of our martyred people for the
majority Of our people, for whom no
other hope remains except our ancient
homeland where comfort will come to
the now comfortless masses and where
energetic collaboration will be extended
to all our neighbors who do not reject
our peaceful endeavors for resuscitat-
ing the land. situated in great wilder
ness, crying out for the touch of new
