RAILROAD RATE DISCRIMINATION

What has been described as one OF
the most important decisions ever reached
~ The Interstate Commerce Commission is
is order reclassifying railroad freight rates
90 that all communities and sections of the
United States will receive equally fair
treatment.
Several weeks ago the Supreme Court
handed down a decision leveling rates for
s-sihern states. Now, the Interstate Com
marcs Commissions order extends the lev
cling process OF freight raids to all parts
a. tho country. Governor Ellis Arnal of
Ceorvia is entitled to most of the credit for
iusiivaing court action. and the victory he

LIBERTY OR LICENSE

Some OF the practices of labor unions
can no longer be excused as privileges of
liberty. They are sheer license. And the
results that are beginning to appear should
alarm every union member and every real
American.
A news report from Port Huron, Mich
igan, for example, tells how the STOCKHOLM
ers OF one of Michigan's oldest industrial
concerns voted to liquidate the company.
The management said that the disturb
anceS and demands of the union made prof
table operation impossible. The 1926 en-
ployes of the firm will have to look else
where for work
And then there are the recurring in
stances of members being thrown oltsof
unions and prevented from working at
their trade for refusing to pay political as
5essments to support candidates and meas
ures Objectionable to them. The following
is typical OF press comment on such abuses ::
If union memberships can be cancelled
Tor refusal to make contributions against
another's will then there isn't much free
dom of suffrage or freedom of speech left y
Such labor dictatorship is making a
mockery of the advertised freedom of
American wprkmen-they are falling into
the position Of TIE slave labor we have
freed in Europe

hands. She needed . drink. she
decided.
In the cocktail lounge Of the
smart hotel several people turned
to look at, the beautiful woman IN
green. A few of them looked long
enough to see that she was great
ly agitated and trembling.
Lucia did not see the admiTin9
glances; for once vanity didn't
matter with her. For the first time
in her life she was frightened and
insure of herself.
The liquor was warm and Slim
ulating. Lucia began to feel bet
ter, things were clearing before
her eyes. She held up her mirror
and powdered her nose, she had
regained her color. In fact, she
looked all right. And, she thought,
feel all right, too! -
And why not? she asked herself
as she drank another cocktail
and another. She was Lucia Lam
bert. Why had she let some silly
doctor upset her? All her life
she'd managed to get alon& she'd
had her own way. ..
She'd show Rex Warner he
couldn't brighten her. She hurried
to a telephone and called Jimmy.
"Come on, Jimmy" she cried.
"It's time to stop work. I'm in
the cocktail lounge at the Kings
land Hotel. Hurry"
Lucia, I can't" he protested.
"You know I've told you"
ooh, so you won't come? Be-
cause of Kay, I suppose?"
We'll, we are engaged, you
know"
"Yes, I know. You've given me
that excuse. often enough. But

lslammed the receiver on its hook
and went back for another cock

So Jimmy was really through
with her, was he? He'd told her
$50 ever since his engagement was
announced, but she'd usually had
her way with him. And, she de-
cided with rising hysteria, She
was going to have it this time.

YOUR OWN CONCLUSION

You will hear one Key Wester express
this view about the occupation of Germany
or the fight against japan, and you will
hear another Key Wester express an op-
posite view.
Nine times out of 10, each opinion
may be traced to something that was said
in the press or over the radio.
Commentators, Key Westers should
keep in mind while listening to them, are
individually expressing the opinion of only
one man, and wrapped in that opinion,
sometimes subtly, is quite a 'deal ofFpf0pa-
ganda. ia
And sometimes the opinion is, enter
tanned for purely personal reasons. For
instance, shortly after Edward Kennedy,
the Associated Press man, scored his
scoop" about German officers having
signed peace terms, based on unconditional
surrender, Fulton Lewis Jr., good com.
nentator, glowingly praised Kennedy for
lis beat" and criticized in belittling terms,
he 81 other correspondents who had pro-
ested against Kennedy's having violated
The outstanding rule of the ethics of the
presto respect confidence that had
1een reposed in him.
The next evening H. " Kaltenborn,
another good commentator, roundly de-
bounced Kennedy for grossly violating
trust" that had been placed in him, by the
Allied high conmand.Tiai NJ yfRt9atqa,S
Lewis based his opinions lOh sthe1 fact
hat the Germn radio hadS announce Hothe
fiGning Of the document calling for lfncon-
@itional surrender, and that he saw no rea-
son why the people of the United States
Ghould have to wait "a hours longer than
The Germans to hear that peace had been
declared in Europe.
Kaltenborn reasoned that the news
was take that had been handed out by
the Allied command with the understand
ing it was not to be given to the world un-
Ill General Eisenhower formally had an
nounced the surrender. Kaltenborn rea-
soHed further that if it was scoop, then
t was scoop" that any other correspond
mt could have scored by breaking his word
% the high command
Our view is if Kennedy had obtained
he particulars OF the surrender indapend-
~ntly. end the publication of the story
would not have endangered in any way
nc military security of the Allies then he
would have been justified ''to beat the
gun
The news was given to him and all
other correspondents in the same way that
q presidents message is given to news as
sociations for release at certain time Any
newspaper could score scoop" on such
release, but what would happen to the
One Of the things that would
happen to it. would be its expulsion from
The association.
Finally, don't let anybody provide
YOU with opinions; listen to both sides of
9 question and form your own conclusion.

AS the budget was tentatively
adopted, the City tax rate was set
at s1.35 per $10O valuation, ana
there will be no further action con
corning the tax rate.
City Clerk J. R. Benson said yes

budget since it was placed in his
hands for public inspection, it is
expected to finally be adopted as
tentatively approved. Monday the
budget will have been in bis hands
FOR the lawful period of 20 days,
Mayor W. Ronald Lane sd d last
night that he did not expect any
further business to be discussed at
Mondays meeting other than the
formal action on the budget.
Although a great deal of con-
troversy ragged at the time the
council agreed on the appropria-
tions, no complaints have beer
lodged and no one has made "a
special trip" to the clerks office
to see the budget. According to
Mr.. Benson, the persons who have
inquired about the ALLEGATIONS have
been for the most part, city depart
ment employees interested in their
salaries.
Separate formal motions, which
must meet Ger ain legal require
ments, will be required to pass
the General Fund and Water Fund
budgets.
Unless some special and unex.
pected discussion takes place al
the Monday session, the business
should be dispensed with within
ten minu' es, it was said.
