C., July 17.—Ap peals for deductions in westecn hail road rates on grain, grain products end hay, brought by 10 states of the Mississippi-Missouri valley cereal growing region under the leadership of ^Kansas and supported by most farm organizations concerned, were definitely refused today by the Inter State Commerce commission. At the same time, the commission decided that the results of an In dependent Investigation It had con ducted into the level of rates on these same products In all sections of the TTnltcd States and demonstrated no need for any changes, and proceed ings gefore It bearing upon both Is gues were dismissed. Railroad earnings In the western region from the Rocky mountains to the Great Lakes and south as far as Texas would have been reduced about $17,500,000 annually had the contenlon of the producing states been granted. The commission held the status of the carriers did not Justify the step, while In general it held that the financial condition of the western grain farmers was show ing a slow improvement, relieving them of the necessity for the reduc tion.

Later, in 1922, a general reduction of 10 per cent In all rates was grant ed by the commission, and early In 1923 the same western states prompt ly moved before the commission to obtain a secondary i eduction on their own products. After the firs: heur jng. the commission ordered a retriul ot the Isiks and instituted its own Investigation into grain rates in'al! sections of the country. c. M. Reed, chaircan of the Kan sas public utilities commission for the states and farm organizations, contended that the depressed price of grain products required a new lower leve lof freight rates for all the com modities concerned. He held also that the financial condition of western rail roads would justify the cuts demand ed. because the valuation of the prop erty used by them In rendering trans portation service was less than the commission had hitherto calculated, end further, because the exponditure of railroads of the west on mainte nance during 1923 were unduly swob ltn. __ Fair Colors Selected.

East ern Men. Considered for Vice Presidency. By CHARLES MILLER. Cnlverssl Service Staff Correspondent. New York, July 17.—Senator Rnr ert M. L Follette’s running mate will 1)6 picked tomorrow in Washington by the national committee of the confer ence for progressive political action. Up to the present moment, the selec tion of the progressive vice presiden tial candidate has given the execu tive committee a great deal of trou ble. With the elimination of numerous western and southern possibilities through declination or for other rea sons, the eyes of tUe executive com mittee in the last two days turned to New York. It was declared to day that if an easterner is selected and a suitable democrat cannot be found, the place in all likelihood may beo ffered to Congressman H. F. La Guardia. In fact. It is stated that the two outstanding men being considered from the east are Msyor John F. Hyland and Congressman LaGuardia. Mayor Hyland is not believed to be willing to leave the city hall. It is pointed out that Congressman LaGuardia, representing a typical New York congressional district for his third term, was raised in Arizona, giving him many western connec tions. * Congressman LaGuardia is the on ly republican who ever carried New York City. He carried the city in 1919, avercomlng a democratic majority of 400.000, when he was elected as presi dent of th* board of aldermen, suc ceeding Governor Smith, who had been elected governor. LaGuardia has the advantage of a splendid military record in the United States army during the war, enter ing the sercice ae a lieutenant and being discharged after the arniistic with the rank of major. He was twice decorated for bravery. He was in the American aviation service assigned to bombing auadrons. LaGuardia is known in labor cir cles. having taken part in the ere atlon and growth of the amalgamated clothing workers of American.

C. J. Osborne Says—Warns Against Stock. Must Start at Bottom A warning was Issued yesterday by C. J. Osborne, president of the Nebraska Farmers union, to farm ers. to stop, look and listen before they purchased stock to perfect the $26,000,000 elevator merger proposed as a co-operative marketing plan by five big elevator concerns in Chicago and Kansas City. Osborns stated that any attempt made to use his organization aa -a propaganda agency through which to sell stock to farmers would meet with strenuous opposition from him. He charged the plan was not true co-operation and questioned whether the eo-operative feature was not Just a method used by the five firms to escape presecutlon under the anti trust laws. Unloading Old Elevators. This Is the first voice that has been raised against the Chicago plan. Osborn* Intimated that it had the earmarks of a scheme to unload a lot of old elevators at a fancy pries onto ths farmers. He Intimated, too, that even if the plan went through, the stock held by the farmers would be that and nothing else—that it would not be co-operative marketing at all, but merely the formation of a giant grain dealing organization. “True co-operation," said Osborne, “starts at the bottom in the purchase of small elevators by the farmers. That Is the plan we have followed in our organization and we still have much to learn at the bottom. "Right now a number of our small er elevators have gone to the wall. This Is because we hadn't learned the game thoroughly at the bottom. The next step in co-operating Is to Join the grain exchange and learn to operate there successfully. Then It will be time to handle large elevators and delve Into export trade. Evade Anti-Trust Uvr«, "It Is suicidal for farmers to dream of entering Into such a gigantic plan at this time. They should remember that they tri purchasing the hold ings of these five big concerns at re production cost, minus depreciation. Under this plan farmers would ac quire elevators at the seller's own price and In a few years would learn that they eould not realize on the in vestment. t “Furthermore, there is a question in my mind whether these concerns are not really combining and taking advantage of cooperative marketing laws to evade obstructions set up In anti trust laws. To my mind, any farm organization that uses Its^ In fluence and publicity sources to 'sell stock to its members in this scheme is betraying Its trust and calamity is certain to follow." The proposed Chicago merger of grain flrma who plan to sell their holdings at their own price to farm er* of the United State* la reported to have started the floating of sim ilar schemes among other elevator owners, anxious to unload their prop erty on the same favorable terms. Grain concerns all over the country. It la understood, have begun to look upon the grain business of the future with pessimistic eyes due to the re strictive laws of recent years and other depressing Influences entering Into the business. Firms Gel Out From Under. A leading figure In one of the big farmers' organizations, who declined to be named, said: “The Chicago plan Is looked upon by grain dealers as a good way out of a difficult and probably losing sit uation. They point to ths fact that the five firms involvsd in ths dsal propose to sell at reproduction new minus depreciation, which means sell ing for much more than the actual worth. Grain men everywhere are reported to be watching the progress of the plan In the hopet that If it la a success It will mean that they, tnb. ran unload under Ilk* beneficial con ditions." Another farm leader aald: “As far as the cooperative feature I* concerned It Is causing a broad grin. Grain men realize, as doss Os borne, one of the fathers of ths co operative plan, that co-operation must start with ths acquisition of small elevators. Until such Urns as these elevators are controlled and success fully operated It Is foolish to arqulre larger elevators as any step towards co-operative marketing.” f"' .. 1 ' - v Cabbage Head Weighing Over 14 Pounds on Display __/ Wymore, Neb., July 17.—-William Stephenson. local butcher, has on display In his show window a cabbage head which measures $4 Inches In circumference, and weighs slightly over 14 pounds.

Lincoln,.July 17.—There are tears in Lincoln today. Charles W. Bryan, governor of the great state of Ne braska, Is In sore travail. Only last Monday It was that "Brother Charlie” came home. It was a very proud Bryan who had traveled from New York to Nebraska. The democratic convention, In its last and desperate chance, had named him as Its condl date for vice president of the United States. "He bore his blushing honors thick upon him” as he rode amid the plaudits of his friends and neighbors from the station to the mansion. All then seemed glorious and round about him were the rose tints of a new dawn. Now all is changed. The meat the governor fed upon had made him great beyond his understandings. In an unguarded moment, and yet "with thoughts only of the people," "Broth er Charlie” had made It known he would like- to see the toga of his of fice fall from his shoulders to those of his dear brother's dearer brother in-law, Tom Allen. Next, he named three others, each of whom he said were worthy of following in his foot steps. In fact, he had already found them worthy and each had been given at his hand a place at the public crib, wherefrom there Issues regularly to them a check from the treasurer of the state. There are none who make so bold as to deny that these men are patriots, but there age other patriots, too. That toga that Bryan wears makes patriots of many and they fain would wear that toga, each and all of them. Had the offense been confined to leaving off the elate the names of those who aspire to the state’s high office, all might have been well. There are worse crimes among demo crats than snubbing a patriot. • It was this crime “Brother Charlie” committed. “Nebraska 'is a republican state,” said the governor—and let It be known that It took more than a ‘ democrat” to carry It. He admitted proudly that he had not carried It as a "democrat"—that he was, In fact, a “demo-radlcal-pro gresslve." And a candidate for vice president, too. on the same ticket with John W. Davis, whom his brother, William, had denounced as "Morgan’s attorney.” Those who would keep pure the sacred altars of the "democratic" party have leaped and shouted de nunciation of our most worthy gov ernor. The sounding board of democracy In Omaha has resounded with criti cism. Arthur Mullen and Dan Butler have demanded a "democrat," not a hybrid. Deeply have they wounded the governor, who is wont, as did his brothe* to have his own undis puted way. As the governor sits disconsolate in Lincoln, thinking of the Ingrati tude of those with whom he once sat proudly In “harmony” throughout the state, there must come fo his memory Tern to Pas* Two.

He did not stop at this, but told them what they must do to have a hand In this world-soothing effort.
