What is the proper basis on which to adjust freight rates? The old standard was “what the traffic would bear,” which is to say rates should not be high enough to discourage transportation. Fy that test the present level of rates on farm prod ucts is excessive. For -instance, ruinous transpor tation costs on hay have decreased shipments to the Kansas City market from 46,000 cars in 1920 to 22,000 in 1921 and only 19,000 last year. Figures have been presented at the Interstate Commerce commission hearing in Kansas City indi cating that wheat is now paying freight costs 150 per cent of the 1913 rate; corn is paying 155 per cent of the 1913 rates, while hay has been left in the fields by the farmers because of a freight charge of 161 per cent of the 1913 standard. While shipment costs have gone up, the average valuation of grain crops in the middle ivest stands at 93 per cent^of the 1913 values. Thip discrepancy between market prices and transportation costs has led to discussion of the need for a new standard in establishing freight rates. The American Farm Bureau federation takes the position that bulky, low priced products should not be expected to bear the same transporta tion costs as more compact and expensive goods. For instance, a 10 per cent increase in the haulage coat for shoes or soap does not make an apprecia ble increase on one pair of shoes or a single cake of soap. But such an increase lays heavily on hay, • which sells by the ton, and on grain. Railroad men admit a mistake in dealing with all classes of freight without distinction, in making horizontal increases and decreases of rates., It is at this point that the new idea of rate-making comes in. This is that rates should bear some relation to the selling price of the product. Jhe farmer refers to this when he says that he is getting 1913 prices and paying 1923 freight rates. Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the state utilities commission, has the same thought in mind when he tells the Interstate Commerce commission that present rates are not proportional to the new prices. He shows that coal prices increased 139 per cent to 211 per cent of pre war prices, while freight rates had gone up on coal only 64 per cent. The price of lumber, he said, had gained nearly 100 per cent, although the freight charge was only 37 per cent more than the 1913 rate. On the other hand, farm prices are »light!y lower, while farm freights are much higher. There is good ground for the position that no necessary commodity should be required to pay a higher transportation cost than will permit its leaching market without all chance of profit for its producer being destroyed. When rate reductions come, as they will have to come, the public may ex pect farm products to be favored. 'Whether or not a consequent increase in freight charges on some other classes of goods may be expected it is impos Bible to foretell. WHO COT THE CROWN JEWELS? Tutenkhamun’a tomb is turning out a lot of treas ure that has been buried thirty-three centuries. But the short term Egyptian monarch was laid to rest by loving subjects who apparently rejoiced at his pas sage to the land of shadows so sincerely they were willing he should take along with him enough of his royal possessions to give him a good start in the next world. It was different when the Romanoff family passed from the stage. Some folks are inclined to doubt the tales that have come forth from Siberia as to the proceedings at Ekaterinberg, hut Kolchak too thoroughly in quired into the details to leave any doubt as to the butchery of the czar and his immediate family. It was developed, also, by Kolchak’s investigation that, the executioners gave little or no attention to the < ostly jewels in possession of their victims, but that the bodies were hacked to pieces and heaped on the blazing pyres without regard to what was on them, r nd that pearls, diamonds, sapphires and rubies, with gold and platinum mountings went into the flames. These treasures, however, were but a little bit of those held in the imperial strong boxes, and on the disposal of the latter much speculation has turned. Under the care of the government of the United States, a grave has been opened in a Brooklyn ceme tery, only to explode a fanciful yarn that in the cof fin lining had been hidden Russian crown jewels of fabulous value. This .investigation throws no new light on the subject, but it is helpful, in that.it in dicates that the fate of the jewels is unfathomed. One thing is certain; if ever another Romanoff mounts the imperial throne of Russia, he w’ill begin business minus a marvelous collection of precious gems that once belonged with the job. BEFORE THE HORSE IS STOLEN Nebraska lumbermen, meeting in Omaha, dis cussed among other things the matter of freight rates. This is a great factor in their business. Supplies of lumber have receded from the users, until now the tost of transportation is frequently more than the value of the material at the mill or factory. Another element is present, too. Reporta from the railroads indicate a steady in crease in car loadings each week, a sign that the fa cilities for transporting goods arc being called upon nearer to the limit of ability to serve. A great year in building is anticipated by all, and manufacturers of building material are correspondingly interested. Whether their suggestion is wholly altruistic in its general aspect or whether it be guided by what is commonly termed “intelligent self interest,” it con tains aome elements of reason. It ia that retail deal ers and material men generally get their orders in early, that the bulky goods may be shipped before * a traffic congestion comes on to delay them. The con tractor who has his materials on hand, or within easy reach, will be in a much better position to do his work than the one who must wait on jammed up railroads to deliver his stuff after he has started operations. Freight congestion is caused by a flood of orders coming suddenly. Ona way to avoid it is to order in advance as far as possible, and so to spread the busi ness over more time. Thia will avoid the periods of slack and rush that now characterize the freight movement of the country’s commerce, and with a steadier flow of business the railroads might find the tsked for reduction in cost of service easier to grant. PAYING DEBTS AND KEEPING PEACE. Most of the opposition in the senate to the meas ure dealing with the British debt settlement ap pears to be of partisan birth. So far as the press reports go, no suggestion of a constructive or help ful nature has been made by any, and the only ma terial change in the house measure is the Robinson amendment which makes this settlement apply to Great Britain only, and requires that all future set tlements be made with consent of congress. Senator Borah’s attitude is apparently in favor of the cancellation of all debts, he professing to be lieve that the stabilization of Europe will be more quickly achieved by wiping out all such obligations. It may be well to note that here the senate sees a path leading to one of his favorite aims, the recog nition of the soviets. The great obstacle in the way of this is the reluctance of nations to deal with the soviets while the attitude of repudiation of the Russian external debt, as well as the denial of claims of alien owners of private property seized by the bolsheviki. If all the interallied debts arc forgiven, then the principle is easily extended to include Rus sia, which originally was one of the allies. Another step that could well be taken' under such a program would be a general scaling down of the reparation claims held against Germany, to the * end that her settlement with France would be easier made. That is all well enough as affects Europe. The main question is whether the people of the United States are ready to invest another $1,1,000, 000,000 in the world war, with no assurance that such an expenditure will not be making the path to the next war in Europe straighter. The Robinson amendment is intended to leave the debt adjustment in control of congress. As passed by the house, the bill provided that any fu ture settlement might be made by the president on terms granted to the British government. In this manner a uniform method for dealing with the na tion s debtors was set up. Under the Robinson plan, settlements made at different times may take on 'different aspects, and what is granted one will be denied another, the mood of congress at the mo ment governing. This may be wise, but it lends tome color to support the remarks made by Chan cellor Baldwin,’when he reported to the British cab inet that the debt was in the hands of the politi- ; cians. However much we are inclined to resent this 1 unfair comment, it is yet a matter of regret that the senate should give it even remote justification. So long as the United States does not assent to cancellation of war debts, and European nations are [ held to accountability, the chance of another gen eral war is indefinitely postponed. In that way the course of our country is serving humanity well. LANGUAGE STUDY IN NEBRASKA. Signs of interest are plentiful in the legislative bill that would restore the right of language study to the graded schools and thus free Nebraska from one of the evidences of war hysteria. There is no reason why this proposal should not be discussed openly and fully. Certainly the opportunity should be afforden for thorough consideration on the floor of the legislature. By no means should this meas ure be allowed to sleep in the committee room. The houFe committee on education, to which this bill has been referred, is composed of the following members: J. Reid Green, Troy L. Davis, J. F. Ken dall. E. B-. Smiley, E. I. Whitehead, Charles Miner, J. K. Ward, F. M. Broome, W. H. O’Gara, E. L. Kemper and C. L. Yochum. If they have as yet moved toward its consideration, no public announce ment has been made. Whether one’a Americanism be of the kind that calls for the suppression of all evidences that there is any other nation except the United States, or whether it be of the other sort which wishes this | country to extend the widest opportunity for free i dom and culture, still the opportunity to exchange ! opinions and thresh out the differences should be welcomed. Three members of the American Legion, Robert Strehlow’, A. W. Klsasser and I George B. Collins, have sponsored the modifications, i though the organization’s official position has been j quite the tontrary. Is it not possible that by open I ing decent-tempered debate on the points involved a better understanding all around might be achieved? The Reed-Norval/ language law prohibits the teaching of any foreign language in public or private schools until the eighth grade is passed. Not even after all the other subjects are given full attention can a foreign language be taught. The changes | proposed provide that while all regular and secular 1 studies must be taught in English when this is done, a foreign language lesson may be added. Under the present law- a teacher is forbidden to ttach children to speak a foreign language, even outside the regular school hours. When this restriction is ■ legarded calmly and without prejudice it appears too harsh. Everyone living in Nebraska should be taught to speak English, but no one ought to be prevented from learning an auxiliary language. Educators claim that languages are most easily learnt in childhood; anyone w-ho has tried to master French, Germap, Polish, Spanish, Swedish or any other foreign tongue after maturity will realize its difficulty then. There are practical, cultural and religious rea sons why some excellent citizens "of this state de sire their children to add a knowledge of a foreign ! tongue to their knowledge of English. The ailvo ] cates of a modified languuge law do not believe I that there is.gnything un-American in such a desire. In the course of time this opinion will become uni versally accepted. Nothing is gained by avoiding 1 discussion of the question, and the legislature should i not hesitate to consider the matter now. 1 , ■■ - ■— ■ ■ ■ -—' Homespun Verse H\ Robert Worthington Unt ie TOBACCO Tobacco, they say, isn't healthful- h mighty had Jiahit indeed!

From tha Gordon (Nob.) Journal. We notice that congress is now con sidering bills which will provide addl j tional credits for farmers Rnd stock lUlsers. We feel that this Is a per fectly laudable purpose and may do some good, but it Is not a cure-all for j tho problems of the farmer. When the senators who are pushing it try to tell the farmers what it is that is the matter, they are simply talking for their votes. The real problems of the fanner wifi have to he worked out by the farmers themselves and there is no law which can be passed that will do It for them. One of the fundamental faults of the American public today Is that as soon as any thing goes wrqng with their finances, habits of morals of their community, they immediately rush to the legisla ture fir congress and want a new law passed. Most of these things can only be worked out and Improved at home. But you may wonder how farmers are to work out their problems. As a matter of fad. it seems to us that Just at present they are being worked out for them and they are being worked out tlie same way that manufactur ers and laboring men work theirs out. They cqt down production. The old law of supply and demand Is still a pretty good one, and If the demand for goods falls off, the next thing to do in order to keep prices up is to cut down the supply. We look for a falling off in the acreage of potatoes next year and a decrease in all branch es of the farming industry. And if you will but stop to think you will And that a number of farm ers around here are quitting, and in several cases land will He idle on ac count of it. We know one young man from here who has gone to Omaha, another to Lincoln, and three others who have deAhltely quit as far as farming is concerned for next year. Multiply these cases by the number of towns in the United States and it will make a big difference. These fol lows who ar^, leaving the farms are really doing a good thing for them selves. Big wages are obtainable In all the Industries. But they are also doing a good thing for all the fellows who stay with tho game. They are actually cutting down the supply of farm products, and with that prices are bound to rise. It may be that the year 1923 will he another hard one. Conditions are changing so fast that it is useless to make predictions. But as long as the present shortage of labor continues in the factory districts, they will pay high wrtges. and as long as they pay these wages they will attract men from the farms and ultimately that means higher prices for farm prod ucts. Seven to Two Rather Than Five to Four. From ths New York VVerld. Senator Borah lias introduced a resolution providing that no law shall be declared unconstitutional by the supreme court unless at least seven Justices concur. The exception Is in cases where a state is a party or where foreign or diplomatic and con sular officials are affected. This proposal recognizes fully the function and the value of the supreme court in the American system of gov ernment. It recognizes the necessity in « federal system for the Judicial veto. It simply provides that the veto shall be exercised by seven Judges Instead of by five. The Borah plan means, therefore, that the supreme court shall not lie pblo to veto legislation by a five to four decision as at present. In order to exercise Its veto the court must vote at least seven to two. Instead of a bare majority of ono better than two-thirds would be required. The suggestion seems to be a good one. because in any popular govern ment the presumption ought to be in 1'avor of the powers of the legislature. Only a clear violation of the constitu tion ought to be tha ground for a Judicial veto, und In a de- ision five to four the violation la not clear. 8ueh vetoes, of which there have been a fair number, are never calculated to preserve the authority of the court.

Uncle Sam as league Moulder. | From the Detroit Free Press. So Isaac Aiarcosson thinks the United States ought to have gone into I the League of Nations and domina ted and shaped it. And how' would the United States have been able, to “dominate and shape" the league? By using a big stick on some of the mem bers and by taking others by the scruff of the neck and kicking them all over the place? This would have been the only way. The idea that the trick could have been turned by the UBe of moral suasion or by excit ing gratitude is utterly absurd. The political chicanery that lias been going oil in Europe these last few i years shows that the continental gov i < rnrnents as a whole haven't any inoral sense to appeal to; at least not any more than a rudimentary amount. While as to gratitude, it Is pretty well established that the moro we have done for countries from which we had a right to expect counter con sideration, the more they have snarl ed and yapped at us; the more they have demanded. Today no nation abuses America as the French na tion abuqps America, and America saved France from annihilation. If we had gone Into the League of Nations to dominate it, we should have been obliged to prepare for the Job of building up.the biggest fleet and the strongest Amy on earth, in order to keep the other members in order. And making the very large assumption that even with such an equipment we could maintain the whiphand, what would we probably face now’ At home, the most oppres sive tax on record, a people groaning under the exactions of the govern ment and ready to rise and demand the abandonment of the whole enter prise; and in the old world, a crowd of unfriendly, wrangling, nonco-opera tive "allies" and most probably a very large war with soviet Russia and what helpers she coud Inveigle into standing with her. In other worrfW the United States would be the world goat, and a very »ore and troubled one. doing an utterly thankless Job for a planet that would be better off if left to paddle its own canoe. lluslnfvi I/Otters. From tUo Spokane Spokesman-Review. H. H. Palmer, who trachea English to the students of business at the University of Syracuse, directs a cut ting blow against the typical letter of business. He calls it formal, hack neyed. stereotyped, stilted arid stupid. The professor categorically IndictB the sinners of diction. He has no use for "beg to state," "esteemed favor,w "thanking you for your kindness” or ' we regain, etc.” Why not be self consistent, he queries, and use "your most devoted, humble and obedient servant” as the signature in closing? I The style of expression used by i business letters stands at least a ] quarter of a century behind the prog- , lev* that other elements In nuslness have made. That is the rule as to business letter* in general. Yet there exists the invariable exception to the rule. In this casts it is the letter of salesmanship. The salesman's epistle has struck Into new roads. Whether the author be a correspondence school or a dealer merchandise he displays what business calls "punch." "pep" or "in- ' dtvlduallty." Such phrases as "get ting ahead In th* world" appear, and especial effort i* exerted to prake It sounds as if the letter had been com posed for a particular recipient. Part of the stereotypedness of busl- ; ness letters is owing to the secretary or the stenographer or to form books that hold fast to old fashions of cor respondence. Under such conditions •* Is natural that business letters lack originality. Eugenic Marriages. From the Host's American. "Fugenic marriages are no insur ance against feebleminded or Idiot children.

Omaha.'—To the Editor of The Om&ha Bee: It is an admitted fact that 80 per cent of the knowledge gained through the cju» remains hi the mind, while only 20 per cent of that gained by reading Is retained. Pictures carry more lasting knowl edge than many times their volume in writing. If we had a few ancient photographs from the times of Christ they would do more than satisfy mod ern curiosity, they would make his- | tory real. A few simple snapshots would link the centuries together and make a far more lasting impression upon the mind than words can do. The inspired pens of many of our famous writers have brought past history to life, and by their skill of j words" and vivid descriptions given it j color and reality, but how much eas ■ ier their task woul<1 have bec-n and how much more interesting if It could have been illustrated with a few prints taken by those of centuries J past. The greater majority of hu manity do not read and study to the i polgt of understanding what they j have read, but they will look at pic- [ tures and study them and understand their meaning. Hang upon the walls a dozen pho tographs taken from as many differ ent countries, and immediately as many different nations appear before the eye, presenting the costumes, ha bits or mode of living of each, in a language which Is understood by all.
