MELLON BUSY IN ROME.
Further Conferences Expected With
Mussolini and VOIpi.

ROME, August R.-The belief
persists in official circles that before
Secretary Melons departure from
Rome important financial matters will
be discussed with italian officials.
Mr.. Mellon now has had conferences
with Premier Mussolini, Count Volpi,
the Italian minister of finance, and
Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs
Grandi.
The visit of the American Secre.
tary to the Fascist premier and his
conversation with him are declared to
have been informal. but 1t is asserted
that another meeting between Mr..
Mellon and Signor Mussolini will &C.
cur within a few days, and at it the
conversation will be more detailed,
particularly as regards financial mat
tiers.
In addition, it is regarded as prob
able that there will be a further meet
ing between Secretary Mellon and
Count Volpi and other italian officials,
ostensibly of an unofficial character.
In his talk with Signor Mussolini Mr..
Mellon and the premier touched upon
general conditions in Italy and in the
United States. Neither Mussolini nor
Count Volpi made any remarks or ex-
PLANTATION concerning Italy's financial
condition or aspirations, and Mr.. Mel
Ion did not ask any questions concern
Ing these matters. The debt settle
ment agreement between Italy and
the United States was touched upon
In purely historical fashion" The
conversation otherwise ranged from
the weather to general remarks con-
corning political conditions and the
Fascist regime.
The italian government is to give
an official dinner to the American Sec
rotary while he is in Rome.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, August g.
Iowa Republicans gathered here to-
day for their second convention in
two weeks, with the line of division
in the party again discernible.
Today's convention has a single
purpose-to nominate a candidate for
the unexpired term Of Senator Albert
b. Cumnins, whose death came a
week after the party, I'M regular con-
vention, forgot past differences with
Col. Smith w. Brookhart, successful
opponent of Cummins in the June
primary, and accepted him as the
nominee.
The death Of Senator Cummins ap-
parently has remarked the former
factional lines, followers Of the vet
eran leader having declared them
selves as favoring only a man of his
views as his successor. while Brook
hart men assert the situation calls for
Brookhart TO take up the fight for
farm relief even sooner than other
wise would be possible.

RAIL CUT DOUBTED
DESPITE EARNINGS
Increase Has. Not Yet Reach
ed "Fair Return" Rate of
Transportation Act.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Copyright, 1926. by The Star.)

tC0pyr1gnt, 1870, ny AhO oso@''
News of the increase in railroad
earnings for the first six months or
this year will, after being thoroughly
digested, have certain political enects.
First. the railroad showing Is an
other indication of the prosperous
condition of the country. AS such 1t
will be ammunition on the stump for
the members of Congress who are
seeking reelection this Fall and who
will attribute the economic advances
to the policies of the party in power.
Second, it will revive the cry Of the
farm groups for lower freight rates
so as to give greater margin to the
producer.
Third, it may make more difficult
the passage of the legislation pro-
posed at the last session. whereby the
war debts of the railroads to the Gov
eminent can be funded at lower In
tereSt rates.
Farm Debate Affected.
The principal effect. however, will
be noted in the debate on agriculture.
The railroads have been petitioned TO
reduce freight rates, but have always
pleaded that they were not earning a
fair return on the value Of their prop
erty. The Government has fixed what
is a fair return, the same being out
lined in the transportation act. Even
in the favorable showing just made
public, the railroads have not come
up to the figure set as a 'tfair return"
When they do. there Is g. division Of
profits under what is known as the
''recapture clause" which has been
held constitutional.
Until the day when the earnings Of
the railroads exceed the amount OF
the fair return. the railroad execu.
tives will fight the idea Of any gen.
eral reduction in freight rates.
They have contended that railroads
cannot be judged on the earnings Of
any one year and that before adjust
ments can be made the railroads must
have an opportunity to recoup on the
years when earnings were unfavor-
able and to assure themselves that
the whole transportation problem has
been put on a stable basis. The queS-
ton of consultations is still unset
tied.
The Coolidge administration has
been hopeful that relief for the farm
er might come through the economies
In operating expenses that would fol-
low consolidation Of strong and weak
roads.
Loans Cost Less.
The railroads are borrowing money
for equipment and expansion at a
much lower rate than they did in the
years Immediately following the war,
but the cost Of borrowing is still q
high item of expense. The Watson
Parker act is expected to keep strikes
and labor troubles down to the mini
mum, but the demand for higher
wages will probably not be silenced.
The railroads have made an excellent
showing, but there is no disposition
here in official quarters to regard that
as the basis for any immediate change
in the freight rate situation
