Railroad Rate Stability.
From the Kansas City Star.
It is a reasonable assumption that
It the valuations placed upon their
property by the railroads of the coun
try were to be sustained, more than
$600,000,000 would be added to the
country’s transportation burden an
nually. That immense sum loaded
upon an expenditure account that al
ready is heavy would prove a serious
handicap to the transaction of busi
ness and would increase the cost of
living. It would have a result amount
ing to little less than disaster for this
section, one of the greatest needs of
which now is relief from transporta
tion costs that are both excessive and
out of line with those in other sec
tions.
The decsion of the court in the St.
Louis and O’Fallon railroad vallua
tion case is therefore a fortunate de
velopment, especially for the Middlle
West and Southwest. It is evident
that the court gave particular atten
tion to the public welfare aspects of
this case. Those, obviously, must pre
dominate.
Railroad transportation Is related
intimately to the progress of the
whole country and to every separate
section and community. The welfare
of one is the welfare of the other.
Neither can thrive at the expense of
the other. The two must be main
tained in a prosperous condition, or
decline, together. To have allowed
the substantially higher valuations
which the railroads claimed would
have been to create a condition with
seriously detrimental consenuences
not only for the American public, but.
as the court opinion indicated, for the
railroads themselves.
With the increase of $11,000,000,000
over the Intestate Commerce com
mission's tentative valuation figures,
for which the railroads have been
Hoover** Handicap*,
From the Nation.
Secretary Hoover may be the nom
inee. but there will be a hard fight
against him. The question of his
eligibility under ‘the constitutional
clause requiring 14 years of consec
utive residence will be brought up
against him. and so will the fact that
tn 1918 he called upon Americans to
vote for democratic candidates for
congress and to defeat the republican
party. In 1*30 he was for taking us
into the League of Nations lock, stock,
and barrel, and he upheld the World
Court most enthusiastically. A vet*
eran Men at or has Just said to me that
1/ Hoover can quality to run on a
contending, the carriers would be al
lowed under the transportation act
the stipulated fair return of 5 3-4 per
cent, on the added amount. With the
estimated 18 per cent, general in
crease in freight rates which this
would bring there would be a depress
ing effect upon shipping and business
as a whole which soon would react
in decreased revenue for the roads.
The railroads have been able, with
the present rate levels, materially to
improve their positions. Further
progress of the same kind is possible,
even with the rate adjustntents that
are necessary for this region. The es
tablishment and maintenance of fair
and equalized rates throughout the
country must be the salvation of the
railroads; because it is upon that
condition, and upon it alone, that
there can be the'general prosperity
from which arises an ample volume
of traffic and consequently revenue.
No Wane in Auto Trade
Alfred Reeves, in Commerce and
Finace.
Anyone who can lcok upon the au
tomotive horizon for 1928 cannot fail
to be impressed with the favorable
signs on all sides.
It is, of course, a commonplace ob
servation in the industry to speak of
the large amount of pent-up buying
which will be realized to a large ex
tent bwy the general public but it
Is worth a moment’s consideration
in detail.
The production of something more
than 3.500.000 motor vehicles in 1927.
was a drop from the preceding year,
marking the absence of the lowest
priced car from the market. The
total of oilier compantrs for 1927
as compared with 1926 was somewhat
larger, but the fact that close to a
million fewer cars were purchased in
republican platfo m he will have to
eat more of hU own words than any
man in generations who has been a
candidate. His friends tell me that
Hoover 1* quite a reformed character,
that he Is no longer for the League,
and that he has seen the light in the
matter of th- World Court. Cannot
a man in public life change hts opin
ions? they ask Of course he can and
dors, precisely as Theodore Roosevelt
and Woodrow Wilson changed their
respective views on woman suffrage,
the initiative, the referendum, the
recall of judges, William J. Bryan
and a cocked hat. and innumerable
questions. But the fact that a man
i can change so read’ , that in 1911 he j
1927 indicates the volume of waiting
buyers.
Accordingly in 1928 one may look
for a normal business year plus a
large share of this volume of delayed
purchases.
The return to the business of pro
duction of all companies is going to
have a stimulating effecta on export
totals. The shipments from this
country and the assemblies abroad
have hovered close around the one
half million mark. Leaders in the in
dustry have predicted that this total
will soon be doubled. The reason for
so believeing is not idle optimism, but
is based on a consideration of the his
tory of motor growth in the country.
Motor transportation begets motor
transportation. Once lntrduces a few
automobiles into any section, demon
strate the usefulness and convenience
which they bring, and the increase
shortly becomes accelerated. The in
itial purchasing power is not the lim
iting line, because the wealth created
by the timesaving device raises the
purchasing ability of the community.
I look to see nof fewer than 3.0000,
000 families in the country owning
two cars within a short period of time.
The number now we estimate to be
well in excess of 2.500.000 and the
tendency is rapidly growing. The pub
lic wants individual transportation
and with the low prices of cars the
families which could afford one auto
mobile 10 years ago can readily main
tain two cars today.

"Wanted” Men Trapped
by Their Home Paper
The news stands handling out-of
town papers, which are scattered
throughout tlie mldtown section of
Manhattan, are frequently watched by
detectives in search of men wanted
by the authorities In other cities.
Sooner or later the fugitive from the
hinterland, who thinks that he Is suc
cessfully hidden among the millions of
Manhattan, visits one of tlie stands
for papers from the town where lie is

spends^ lot of time In mingling with
the Broadway throngs, nre vain nnd
eager to read about themselves nnd
the crime which they may have com

homesick and seek to comfort them
selves by reading their home-town pa
pers. Recently a Western bnnk de

New York for almost a year, but who
finally yielded to a desire for home

Audience Warned Not
to Expect Too Much
Mary Louise, age eight, was to piny
In a music recital one afternoon, a
few days ago. As the eventful day
drew near, unusual effort was neces
sary to master the little piano selec
tion, which had suffered somewhat by
rather Irregular practicing the week
before. Mary's mother was much
concerned about the slow progress the
child was making, for she was to he
present nt the recital, and she had a
very natural desire to see her child
do credit to the family.
The afternoon of the recital, Im
agine her chagrin, when her daughter
walked on the stage, turned to the
rather large audience and said in a
most Indifferent manner: “Well, folk,
I Just want to tell you before I begin
that I do not kpow this piece very

Now Synthetic Wood
Building products, like certain pat
ented creal foods, are now “shot from
guns.” „
A wood fd>er synthetic lumber Is
manufactured from sawmill waste by
an explosive proces’s which shreds the
i chips into a fluffy mass preparatory to
molding, under great pressure, Into
large broad boards, which may be con
veniently applied ns sheathing or for
partitions. It nlso Is used ns tops for
card tables and desks and in radio
cabinets.
The "explosibn’’ Is the effect of
high-pressure steam. The material is
placed in the "gun,” the steam turned
on and hydraulic mechanism suddenly
shoots it forth.
