WHEN FREIGHT RATES ARE CUT.
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.

Unpleasant the odort, repulsive to them who forever

Tobacco abuses the body and strangles perception,

And gnaws at the heart of the nation, and lowers the

“From State and Nation”
—Editorials from Other Newspapers—
Farm Prosperity.
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

H. H. Palmer, who trachea English

that 80 per cent of the knowledge

that gained by reading Is retained.
Pictures carry more lasting knowl
edge than many times their volume

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.
