T ORDER STATES TO INCREASE RATES Arkansas and Minnesota Di rected To Adopt Interstate Passenger Fares Washington, Dee, 22. State railway commissions of Arkansas and Minnesota wer ordered today by the Interstate Commerce Commission to increase State passenger rate and excess baggage charges to the level now prevailing ia interstate commerce. Trie commission held, that present eharges in ths two states amounted to a discrimination agaiast interstate traffic. Both Arkansas and Minnesota sre numbered nmong the seventeen states who refused to grant a SO per cent in crease in passenger fares last August to conform with the increase ia inter state traffic and the decisions . today mark the first action to be .taken by the commission . since hearings were given aevea states her recently. The commission previously ruled against the tnara eommiamoaa ox new Mors, ana Wlseaaiia ' and,,, those . case aow -are being fought out ia the courts. . The two decisions handed down today ere simitar. Th State commissions of the two Bute granted aa Increase in freight rates but due to existing Stats law claimed they were powerless to raise passenger fares and excess bag gage rates. Ia Minnesota the State rate for pas senger fares was set at two cents per mile by th legislature but the earners aeeured an injunction at the end of the Federal control period, which prevented the 8tate commission putting pre-war rates into effect la Arkansas the maxi mum rate also was two cents a mile. Ths Interstate Commerce Commission ia ordering the raise in fares quoted the transportation act as its authority to raise state rates in opposition to lawrmade by legislatures. Changes ia the Arkansas rates muat be made by February 15 and in Minne sota, by February 1, the Interstate Com merce Commission ruled. CONDITIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGE ARE. IMPROVED r New YoVk, Dec 82.

By R. E. POWELL. Washington, Dec. 22. Every Tar Heel member of the Congress present today voted against the Fordney-Green tariff proposal voted on in the Hous late tonight after the Republicans, with the votes of labor-farmer Democrats, had put throiarh a rule limiting debate aad shutting out amendments. Representative John Small, dean of the delegation, made a ringing apeech against the proposal declaring that "if members on this side of the House are to cvmaln true to one ancient prin- icple of the party to whose doctrines they subscribe, they cannot favor a pro tective tariff for agricultural products aimply because the farmers of their dis trirts are favored and oppose in the eomingM'ongrcss a protective tariff probably with more onerous ached ules thati wore contained in thevPnyne Aldrn-h bill.- Representstive Claude Kitchin, rank ing Democrat on the nays and means committee had not returned from the State today and his absence wus keenly felt suiong the Democrats, particularly the North Carolinians.

Four members of the Tar Heel dele ration were not present. Representative Hoey, who left foe his home lust night, but who was paired, Representatives Robinson, Kitrliin fend Brinton. In his speech, Mr. Small said: "Unquestionably, Mr. Speaker, the drastic decline in the prices of agricul rural products has aroused the intorcit of the entire country, and everyjior nial man would be willing to do 'all in hia power to give relief to the agri cultural interests. This bill proposes a high1 arotoetiv tariff upon certain agricultural produeta with tho avowed rurpose of -preventing importv and thereby enlarging th demand and in creating th price of farm products, I cannot vot for th measur. There are time when principle must rise above expediency. If I understand one principle of the Democratic party, it is opposition to protection for protec tion's sake. It ia in favor of a tariff "In which- the primary purpose shall be to rsite revenue, and not to keep out importations. ' The purpose of this bill primarily, ia not to raise revenue, but it ia named as an emergency measure for the purpose of increasing the price of farm products. Means Only a Beginning. . "Next spring or next summer a ma jority of the next Congress are coining here with a tariff bill, proposing a pro tective tariff not only upon farm prod nets, but upon various manufactured products of the country. It wilt be such a bill as ao Democrat can afford to support. Aad1 yet any Democrat who votes for this, present bill cannot con sistently of) pom that bill. I would not charge the distinguished chairman of th committee on ways and meant or the majority of that committee with playing politics, but.if it were possible for a great party to play politics with such a serious subject ss the welfare of the farmers of the country, they have done so in reporting this bill. They have, in the introduction and advoeay of this bill, embarrassed Democrats of the House who represent agrieultral districts. But it seems to me that if members on this side of the House arj to remain true to one ancient principle of the "party -to whoso doctrine-they subscribe, they cannot favor a protec tive tariff for agricultural products imply because the farmer of their districts are favored, and oppose in the coming Congress a protective tariff bill probably with more oneroua ached ulea than were contained in the Payne Aldrich bill. "The Payae Aldrich biH was repu diated by the people in 1V10 and was on of the potential factors in over turning a Republican majority in Con gress. It ws the chief issue in the Na tional eampaiga in 1912 when Wood row Wilson was elected President. No Democrat can afford to wnlk into the net which has beea spread for him. He will compromise his political integ rity and weaken hia party.-'.
