ABOLISH THE .SURCHARGE?

Of particular interest to both railroad and the trav
cling public is important matter under consideration by
Congress during the short session the form Of petition
from the United Commercial Travellers of America that the
extra fare charged for travel in sleeping and paror be
abolished by legislative action. Hitherto all such matters
have been determined by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission which is charged under the law with the response
by Of fixing the rates the railroads may charge for their
services. la,f..ts. ,- .4,1sets-
Petitions the abolition of this extra charge already
have been heard by the commission and denied by it, An
attempt is being made by the Western Railways Com
mttee to induce Congress to overrue the commissions de-
cision
The Railway Committee claims that travel in sleeping
and parlor costs the railroads relatively than
ell in ordinary coaches and yields relatively less The
surcharge that established by decision Of the
sion dated July 29th 1920 and adds about 10
the rate charged by the railways for ordinary travel in day
coaches.
They also claim that the aggregate receipts from this
extra charge amounts at this time to approximately 40 mil
lion dollars annually Of which than 16 million dollars
is received by the lines 1t is further claimed that
the passenger service of the western lines whole Op
Grated at annual loss Of $3 000 and that if the
surcharge is abolished the annual deficit from western pas
operations will reach aggregate of $30000 O00
which the railroads will have to make up from rates for
other classes of service since they cannot afford to lose this
revenue. @# S &5F #Es#H% %&re% $50 t#~*t @<@%
On the other hand the United Commercial Travellers
claim that the surcharge lust and eves extra bur-
den against the travelling public and having the effect of
decreasing travel and have taken their to Congress to
seek relief.
1T will be interesting from every standpoint to just
what happens in Washington this matter.

AS TO THE EIGHTH SPECULA.
TION
(Arizona Republican,

(Arizona Republican,
Members-elect of the legislature
complain that much Of their time
is being consumed by persons who
want jobs or by the friends of the
job-hunters. The new members
elect are appalled, at the demand
for places. They believe that if but
g small part of the applicants
should be served, the state house
itself would not accommodate the
help alone, to say nothing of the
senate and the enlarged member
ship of the house.
There is already a good deal OF
speculation regarding the organi-
zation of the two houses. 1t is as
sumed, however, that A. M. Craw-
ford, of Yavapai, who served in the
Sixth and Seventh legislatures as
member, will be chosen speaker
AS to the presidency Of the SEN
ate, nothing is assumed. 1t was re-
ported that President WinsOr OF
the Sixth and Seventh would be a
candidate for reelection, but that
has since been denied, and it is
said that his support will be given
to t. W.. DOnnelly of Pima county,
a member of the senate in the Sew
enth. 1t is hoped by Mr.. Winsors
friends that, with his skill as q de-
batter and with his intimate knowI-
edge of the laws, he can be Of
greater service on the floor in
the consideration of the new code
(which will probably be the most
important business of the session.
Harlow Akers is another strong
contender for the presidency, and
he is understood to have made a
vigorous canvass. Senator Golfer
is also said to have presidential
longings.
The only reasonably certain
thing is that there will be -spe-
cial session to complete the work
on the code.
In the nature of things, it must
yield in the regular session to the
more or less routine business of
the session, in which the over
shadowing feature and perhaps
more troublesome one, win be
state highway legislation.

ually improving, the report sets
out.
The condition of the country at
this time teh best proof of the
effectiveness and soundness Of.
the constructive national policies
which have been in effect during
what is generally called our re-
construction period The policies
have included a protective tariff, a
program Of economy and sensible
tax reduction, and an international
policy which has kept the United
States free from foreign complica-
tions, enabling us to center our at
tention and activities on the de-
vclopment of American progress
and prosperity.
In spite of those international
Americans" and fortunately they
are few in number, who decry what
they call our nationalistic spirit
and seem to find something better
in European ideals and civilization,
the American nation has come in
to general realization that these
policies are right. 1t is good in
deed to be an American in this
second quarter Of the twentieth
century, at d time when American
civilization and material prosper
ity have reached level which sur
passes anything before known in
the history of the world.
And in spite Of the dire predic-
tions OF the pessimists who said
that our American policies would
send us to the dogs, there is no
reason to believe that the Amer
lean standard of living will not
continue to go higher and higher
as time rolls on. Our progress
will continue because of our con-
structive policies and our own eff
forts and not because We are eX-
plotting unfortunate Europe" I"
Europe is on the upgrade, too, and
it will continue to improve if the
nations of that great continent will
pay less attention to mutual re-
elimination and distrust and adopt
part of the American idea for their
own

wv 7-ASHINGTON- - If the Senate
wv unseats Senator Arthur r..
Gould of Maine it's action will
go down on the records as an i'm
portant precedent.
GoulC's fitness is questioned be-
cause Of charges that he paid bribe
iof 500, 600 into political campaign
fund in Names neighbor Canadian
province, New Brunswick.
1 1t never has been definitely estab-
hished whether the Senate can or
1cannot expel q member for turpi-
jtpGe in his private life, although the
Senate decided 20 to { that it could
land, would Investigate II Canadian
Judges charges that Gould paid the
Ibribe.
l,grallel cases in this country lend
no gu.Ge to the present Senate. Their
history seems only to obscure the
issue. Gould's case is altogether diff
ferent from those of William $. Ware
ard Frank l.. Smith, which involve
primaries and elections.
FEHHIRTY-THREE years ago a spe-
cial session of the Senate con
sidered the case OF Senator VIII
liam y. Roach Of North Dakota. A
resolution providing for a committee
investigation of charges against
Roach similar totthe present Gould
investigation was introduced by
Senator George F'risbie Hoar of
Massachusetts, who was backed by
Senator William f. Chandler of New
Hampshire.
There was an allegation that
Roach had, in his comparatively
Younger days, been involved in an
$4,000 bank embezzlement in Wash
ington. He moved to the Dakota ter
ritory in 1879 and started life all over
again. He became a mayor, a terri
toriaI legislator and ran twice un-
successfully for governor when
North Dakota became a state.
He was then elected TO the Senate,
whittier he came in 1888. lie had
never been prosecuted for the bank
incident and restitution was said to
have been made; nevertheless his
fitness was questioned ard consid-
cradle debate followed introduction
Of EI0ar's resolution March 2S, 1888.
But no vote ever was taken on the
resolution, for some reason or other;
the charges were not investigated
and Roach served from 1898 until
1896 He died in New York in 1902.
Arguments advanced by Hoar.
Chandler and others probably viii be
studied during the Gould inYestiga-
ton.

How to Select Your "A" Battery and
Charger.

One Of the most puzzling problems
that confronts the new radio fan IL
that of selecting his "A" current
source. From the standpoint of effi.
cheney of operation and economy. the
storage battery stands first as
source OF "A" current. Dry "A" bat
teries may be low In first cost, but the
upkeep Is heavy. Tubes that operate
direct frGm the current lines and "A"
battery eIiminatOrs are not yet very
popular.
The choice Of the size Of the storage
battery to use and the charging
means to be employed depend on
various conditions. The ideal ar
rangement consists of ha wing a small
storage battery and a trickle charger
This arrangement Is very efficient
economical and the first cost IL very
low. A complete outfit, consisting of
a small storage battery especially de
signed for use with a trickle charger

for about $50. Specially built units.
