Increase in freight rates In the eastern

By Henry Wood
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Constantinople, Dec. 23. (By mail to
New York Via Rome) An entirely
new element of supreme importance
has just been injected into Turkey's
war against the Allies by the sud
den conviction in the Turkish mind of
England's intention to wrest from
Constantinople the Caliphate of the
Mohammedan religion and transfer it
under British protection to Cairo.
Whether or not such intention ac
tually exists in England's program no
one but the Turks presume to say,
But that at least is the interpret
tion which has been placed here upon
England's protectorate over Egypt
and especially upon its elevation of
the title of the new sovereign from
that of Khedive to Sultan.
While the most is being made by
the Young Turks of this alleged in
tention on the part of England for the
purpose of stirring up war hatred
against the latter, the serious aspect
of the whole thing is the admission
by the more sober minded Turks that
whether England is really planning
such a move or not, there can be no
question but the loss of the present
war by Turkey will inevitably entail
with it the loss of the Caliphate. That
Cairo would then become the logical
seat is also regarded as equally cer
tain. With the loss of all its African pos
sessions and with the loss of all its
territory in Europe save the little
strip that still fringes the Bosporous
and the Dardanelles, Turkey is ad
mitted to have reached a point where
her claims to the Caliphate or where
she could uphold it with any degree
of force or splendor now hang by a
mere thread.
The loss of the present war will
mean, it is practically conceded, the
loss of Constantinople and with the
loss of that city of the Sultans and of
the Caliphate no secret is made of the
fact that the latter would be obliged
to seek elsewhere a new home. A
small Asiatic nation, such as alone
would remain to Turkey, even though
it conntained the sacred cities of Mec
ca and Medina could never house the
Caliphate. " ' ' ,
As a consequence, just as Germany,
after entering into war with its ong
inal intentions fixed against France
and Russia found later the necessity
ot venting the vials of its wrath
against England, so Turkey, begin
ning the present war against its cent
ury old enemy Russia and retaining
really the most friendly feelings to
wards England, now finds itself con
centrating all its hatred annd all its
war spirit and energy againsnt the
latter. . -
Although the Young Turks are now
making the most of this alleged in
tention on the Dart of England to
wrest from Constantinople the glo
ries of the Caliphate, nnfortunnately
for them, all of the elements of the
situation are admittedly not in their
hammedan world has not always tak
en too kindly to the claims of the
Caliphate of Constantinople as be
ing the rightful successor of the su
preme authority of that religion.
Especially has this been so of the
Arabian Mohammedans who cannot
forget that for centuries the succes
sion of the Caliphate , was not only in
their hands but that it was actually
located in Egypt,' where in the event
of any future change, it would almost
inevitably have to go. It is not con
sidered likely therefore that the Young
Turks while finding in England's al
leged intention fresh occasion for stir
ring up their own wrath Will be any
too successful in stirring up the un
animity of the entire Mohammedan
world for the carrying out of their
religious war against her.
In addition, it is not even certain
that even the entire Turkish element
of the Mohammedan religion would
be unfavorable to the change. As has
been stated in the foregoing the trans
fer of the Caliphate to Cairo would
be merely the resumption of a glo
rious tradition which for centuries ex
isted there. Egypt, too, it is admit
ted, is in reality the present center
of the Mohammedan faith, the center
of the propaganda and the one coun
try whose material basis and pros
perity is such as to insure for the
Caliphate the dignity and security
that is fast slipping from it at Constantinople.

The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re
sistance. ' The merchant, the manu
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
bad their trafflo bureaus thoroughly
organized and In many Instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
ized tonnage they have hammered the
life out, of the rates and with unre
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad com
missions, these Interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing In which their business is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never bad the finances to em
ploy counsel to develop his side of I
the caso and, as a result, the products
of the plow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product o. the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate of
any necessary commodity In com
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole la out of pro
portion with that of the products of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to I
give the railroad such an Increase In
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toil upon the products of
the plow. The Instance seems to pre
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
ot freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.
What Is a Fair Rate?
We do not know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard of anyone who did claim to
know much about It, but If the pros
perity of the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commis
sion concludes that an Increase In
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
nogs remain as at present and the
rate ' on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising bis own meat, and a farm
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an - Increase than
the rate on cotton and flour. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and . machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The Increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur
den, but let the farmer who boards
in other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands.
