(AP* Rail road rates go up today on every class of freight except agricultural com modities. Thi . i- eomootr fir;t aid to the rnitroads which are huving hard timey making ends meet under the shrunken volume of commerce. All except roads already in bankruptcy will collect the increases in the form of emergency surcharges. The richer roads through a newly formed corporation will loan the pro -1 reeds to the weaker ones. They arc ; standing together to maintain general railroad credits to kep up the value of banJs by making possible pay ments of Interest on all. Buried In Crypt. Paris. Jan. 4.--General Paul Gerard i Pau. who died Saturday, will be i buried in a crypt of the Invalides’ chapel next Thursday. The body of the veteran of two wars will be borne | on a gun carriage to the Invalides, I where a crypt is his by right of his ! having commanded troops in the field during the World war. the Slate Highway Commission has over the roads in the State. They also wunt this provision written into the Constitution for the. reason that if it Is in the Constitution, it will be vir tually impossible to change the plan, even though it should not turn out as satisfactory to the general public, since it much more difficult to get the popl to chang th Constitution than it is to get a general assembly to change a law. With this provision once in the Constitution, and with the school forces once given a majority on the board of seven, the school people could give the public the horse laugh, boost school expenditures and taxes to the skies and the public generally would be powerless to do anything about it. And that is evidently what Is desired. Ever since it* creation, the State Board of Equalization has been a the flesh of the school forces, and for two reasons. In the first place, becatlae it was set up to act as a check upon the expenditures of the school super intendents and school forces generally, and second because It wounded the pride df the school people because it was composed almost entirely of busi ness men, instead of scholastic men with their academic degress.

The advisory committee' made this abundantly clear, and the old world press energetically rubbel the Idea In immediately afterward. In itself. *he advisory committee's report catHcd no surprise in congres sional circles. ! Some surprise is expressed, how j ever, at the extraordinary crust of i the hanker-members of tbc body in kstiadoadtsg their . findkigs within half a dozen hours after the United ■ States senate’s vote ratifying the Hoover moratorium. The withholding of the document ! until the lawmaker; wer irrevocably on record is spoken of as very readily undeivtamiable; it is agreed that its release while debate stilt was pro gressing might conceivably have pre vented the debt-suspension plan’s ap proval. despite all the pains taken to insure its indotsemeut. What critics of the committee do uninadvert upon in hurt tones is the advisory group’s contemptuous disre gard of American public opinion in is suing its statement as soon after sen ; atorial action which, it will be re -1 called.

Since further concessions are pre- ■ ciscly what the advisory committee itv i sists on, its reports Is quite lnterpre -1 ted, in fact, us as answer to con-; gress’ form of moratorium ratifica tion, virtually notifying Uncle Samuel where he “gets off.’ It is problematical just how genu i inely the Europeun wartime allies themselves believe In the proposition! which many diplamtic conversations i have indicated that they would like , to have Americans accept. - The theory which they have persis j tently advanced is that they furnished ! the men and America the money | (money only, until near the conflict’s ; end) to defeat Germany; therefore * that the United States should not ex pect to be repaid.

TARIFF REDUCTION NOW IS UNLIKELY Democrats Ca»t Force It, and, too Thepre Must Be a Reciprocity . . s*. ... . By CHAPLES Central Pre**. Staff Writer Washington. Dec. I. Tariff redyc (ion will not get ver> far at this sn.s- | sion of congress, for two or t-hree rya- | sons. In tlte fii.-t the DoMioeratc!. | who generally speaking, consider jwe j sent rates much too high, control only the house of representatives; not the senate. Secondly, although many talk believe President Hoover to be per sonally a low tariff man. he presum ably would feel bound, as a Repub lican. to veto downward revision, even I fa majority in it.* favor should be must trod by the combined Jefferson ians and G.

Thirdly, the Democrats litem selves, in ,!t • existing state of the world. i‘telin«' toward a reciprocity juo gram in preference to unqualified re duction. and this will be available be tween now' and next spring’s congres sional adjournment for the national conventions. However, the urgent necessity tpr a lowering of tariff walls, as the most important single step (so the Demo cratic contend* toward the restoration o fintcrnational trade and prosperity, is sure to be much discussed. Tariff experts’ of Jhe Democratic party thus will be much in the fore ground as the winter progresses in Washington. Four of them stand out conspicu ously. Senators Cordell Hull of Tennessee and Edward P. Costigan of Colorado! in the upper house of congress: Rep- { resentatjves Henry T. Rainley. of 1111-! nois and David J. Lewis of Maryland in the lower one. Senator Hull, in brief is a student of government, of econmics and of internattnal trade relationships such as any country is lucky to produco os often as once in a generation Republicans as well as Democrats defer both to this judgment and his honesty. He will be Tennessee’s favorite son at the Jeffersonian envention in 1932. With all due respect to the excellent abilities of Cngressman James W.
