MONOPOLY OF TKANSl'OKTATIO"
Washington, Sept, ?2. ? Railroads
ol the country are making a supreme
effort to secure and hold a monopoly
of all transportation throughout the
United States by keeping boats from
operating upgn rivers improved at
enormous public expense and by forc
ing the Panama canal boats out of
business.
And they are forcing large numbers
of people In the South, the southeast
and in the west, who have been and
are being taxed by the federal govern
ment to Improve the rivers and build
the canal, to pay the railroad bill for
making the improved waterways worth
less commercially.
These startling facts have been re
vealed in a survey conducted by the
Intermediate Rate Association, re
presenting every farm and business
Interest of ten western mountain
:tates, in a campaign for national leg'.s
lation to wipe out railroad discrimi
nation in freight rates throughout th?
entire west and In all parts of the
southeast where the railroads are
fighting the boats.
Congress has appropriated $1,200,
000,000 for Improvement of rivers and
harbors and for building cf the canal,
but there are hardly any boats operat
ing upon the rivers of the south and
the southeast ? the Mississippi Ohio,
the Missouri ? because the interstate
commerce commlssQn has permitted
the railroads generally to vloalte the
long and Bhort haul law of the fourth
section of the transportation act. By
means of these violations of the. law,
the railroads have In the past, and
are today, levying: tribute against In
terior cities and towns by charging
them exorbitantly high rates in order
to recoup the losses they sustain In
making temporary cut-throat rates be
- tween cities on the Beaboard or on
navigable streams, to make It Im
possible for boats to meet the com
petition and carry freight on the rivers
improved at public expense, it Is
shown In the survey of the Intermedl
ate Rate Association.
Having secured what practically
amounts to a monopoly of transporta
tion throughout the south and south
east, railroads are now trying to se
cure a monopoly of trans-continen
tal freight traffic by attempting to
levy a similar tribute against interior
cities of the vrest so that they may
make cut-throat freight rates from
Chicago and the east to Pacific coc.st
cities ? Los Angeles, San Pranfclsco,
Portland and Seattle ? to drive the
Panama canal boats out of business.
The special cut-throat rates made
by railroads to force the boats out
of business are not given to interior
cities and towns, the rate association
survey shows. Instead, the railroads
make the rates to port cities so low
that boats cannot meet them, and re
coup their losses by charging high
rates at the intermediate points.
Many existing violations of the long
and short haul law by railroads In
the southeast designed to keep the
boats from the rivers, are revealed
in an examination of records, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. A
typical violation is shown In the rates
charged by the Illinois Central on
carload shipments of agricultural Im-"
plements from S$t. Louis. The Illinois
Central today charges $12.80 per ton
to haul a carload of agricultural Im
plements 835 miles frpm St. Louis to
New Orleans, located on the seaboard,
but charge# $16 a ton to haul the
same shipment the shorter distance
of 642 miles over the same tracks to
Alexandria, La. The farmer ot Alex
andria has to pay $3.20 more to get
the Implements he needs out On his
farm than the stevedore at New Or
leans has to pay to Btack them up
on the docks and levees, despite the
fact that he Is 193 miles nearer St,
Louis. And the railroads penalize the
farmer so that they may keep the
boats off of the river the farmer has
helped to Improve.
The United States Senate has pass
ed the Qoodtng Bill (Senat? Bill 2827)
to eliminate this unjust discrimina
tion which the railroads make In
freight rates to meet water competl
tln. It will become a law as soon as
It Is passed by the Hojise of Represen
tatives when Congress meets In De
cember.

In teaching the- addition combina

the child see three objects, and two

the teacher asks how many children

"there are five children In both rowa."

To impress the combinations upon
the childs mind I tell them number
stories like this for example. "If Mary
had three every day dresses and her
mother gave her two new ones, how
many dresses would Mary have?"
After taking up. a new combination
each day t drill on the old ones. !.
Among the devices I use nre domino
and flash cards. These cards are
flashed before the chlldrens eyes only
once and the one giving the correct
answer first is given the card. At
the end of the lesson those who have
not missed a combination are allow
ed to place a gold star by their names.
Another way I use these flash cards
la- to line the. bpys up in one line
and the girls in another. I stand at
the head and hold a card before the
first two In line. The one giving the
correct answer first takes the card
and goes to the end of the line, and
so on until all cards are given out.
At the end of the game the cards are
counted to see which side wins.
For exercises at the board I sketch
fish and put the addition combination
! on the fish. Each child goes fishing
jto see how many fish he can catch.
I Another exercise used on the board
lis to sketch a tree with apples on it
I and combinations in the apples. The
children see how many apples they
can eat by giving the correct answer
to the combination on the apples.

A MESSAGE TO MARS
| Now when you twinkle mighty star
1 1 no more wonder what yon are
I But I must admit surprise
When I heard about your size
Your radioing ? telephones
An&folks like us with flosh and bones
Who try so hard to let us know
They hear us when we radio.
My teacher had no telescope
Which would with your distance cope
So we could but wonder why
You twinkled so up In the sky
We know you not from other stars'
Or even dreamed your name was Hnrs
But thought you Just a shining spot
About" one hundredth kllowat.
We have wise men down here below
Who rade and rade with radio
Some have radloe.d to you
Every length of wave they knew
Of course to me this seems absurd
Yet I dare not doubt their word
When they claim you said (HELLO)
From your broadcasting radio.
This Is wonderful to me
But If you hear of course you see
Please get your telescope and look
Down on the fly leaf of this book
And If you read these lines I write
Wink your eye at me tonight
A few things I would like to kno^r
But I have no radio.
Have you any flappers there
With painted cheeks and shingled hair
Who flap and flap and flap
In knickerbockers boots and cap
Or hen pecked men with anguish souls
Watching them surround the polls
Knowing when their votes are cast
The last are first ? the first are last.
We have one state we call Lone Star
?Down where the big six-shooters are
Raw boned giants six feet three
Who lost their nerves and bent the
knee
To a woman although frail ,
Who made the Ka Klux ride a ran
So I warn you to beware
Of suffregetU with shingled hair.

Many soft, wooly fabrics are used
