LOOKS SUSPICIOUS

We have no information whatever as to the
merits of the case against Senator Couzens, from
whom the Treasury Department is trying to eolect
income tax on 100000 that Couzens gave away
But whatever the facts, it is regTettaple that II
should have been Couzens, for this is the second
time that this has criticized the Treasury, and
the second time that his criticisms have Been fol
lowed by q suit for back taxes
Back in the days of Andrew Mellon the Michigan
Senator was at outs with this department, and the
Government tried to collect $l0,000000 from him.
;Couzens won in the courts. That was Under d Re-

posed the appointm6ntment of Guy T: HefVering as
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, and now he Is

BARGAINING AMERICAN MAY
SAVE RAILROADS
By BRUCE CATION


Some time during the aext few weeks we
shall probably find out whether the great
eastern railroads are going to go TO court
TO keep the Interstate Commerce Commas
sion from increasing their passenger oasi-
ness for them. ,a.' '...r,' ...''",
The commission has ruled that railroad
passenger fares must come down from 90
cents a mile to cents. The railroad pres
idents are detecting in that order the MAS
mic vapor of the bankruptcy courts. BE-
fore very long they must make up their
minds whether they. are. going to call III
the LAWYERS or let nature take its course
If the railroad men don't like the ORDER
however, it would be foolish for them 10
blame the |. &C. The real villain OF the
niece is no one but the average American
citizen, with his mquenchable fondness tW
bargains. = ~- -" 2'"%.'.'"
This American citizen used to travel by
railroad whenever he went anywhere, fof
the very good reason that there was no
other way of getting there. In the tullness
of time, however, automobiles and, buses
were placed at his disposal, and then nc
made an interesting discovery. 49,. .....
He found that if he used one or the 9TH
er of these conveyances ne could get where
he was going for less money than ne would
have to pay the railroads to carry him.
And in that moment the troubles OF the
railroads began. ~. .. .-.-.s e.. ..."r" .,,'a
Passenger trains that used to run regular
" in two and three sections started run
ming in one. Local trains died pitifully
among the rolling hills and grass-groWh
plains of the rural districts. Pullman pof-
tiers grew wall-eyed from looking. at cars
in which they had only three or four CASH
customers. And the railroads income
from passenger trains dropped and drop
ped as if the bottom of all things had been
removed. .... H.. y..ai. ...s- -
A few years ago certain western and
southern roads began to mediate on the
Americans fondRess for bargains, and de
cided that if cheap travel was what the et''
izen wanted, cheap travel was. what ne
would have. So they cut fares and waited
to see what would happen. 49, ~. Il.
What happened was enhghtening. Ira
vel by train began to increase again. WIN

train incomes The supposedly. moribund
passenger business began to sit up m PEG
and ask for solid foods .,.y>.,,s ,3o;l ,.o
After that, extension of the newrrate
scale to, the entire country was more or less
inevitable The !. C. C.'s recent order was
to be expected; and twill be very hard to

not;a wise and just order la. 7l>4z. =.
