RUSSIA LIKE

Country Described by Bishop
Stuntz as One That Will
, BeSlow in Fitting for
Self Government.
"All too tardy has been the ar
rival in Vladivostok of the expedi

asserted Bishop Homer C. Stuntz of
the Methodist church in his address
at the public affairs luncheon of the
Chamber of Commerce Friday noon.
"Russia was never a nation, even
under the palmiest days of the czar,"
said the bishop. "Russia has never
been more than a vast agglomeration
of heterogeneous and incomglomer-ato-
peoples. Russia is like an old
wooden barret which has finally fal
len to pieces." ,
.Bishop Munte has spent 20 years
in the orient as a missionary. "The
Impact of the War on the Far East
wheif the War is Won" was his sub

system is nothing but the worst fea

right of the individual to become
what he wants to be.
But democracy cant be created
out of paper programs over night;
And, it will take years for the far

the blight of autocracy far too long
to be ready for self-government now.
"Thesfirst influence of tHe war on

man race live in the far east, but the
most of the Occident is still in deep
ignorance of the east.
"I am not a betting man, .being a

more than one man out of five here

, "The second great influence of the

ICE MEi, GIVEN
TILL TUESDAY TO

" .' i
Advance in Prices to Consum
ers Is Held Up by County
Food Administrator
- Allen, .
i
Without anyone protesting, Omaha
manufacturers and jobbers in ice,
raised the price from $4 to $5 a ton.
The retailers and peddlers sought to
put over a similar stunt, but there was
a protest. As a result, 14 of the re
tailers and peddlers were before
County Food Administrator Allen yes
terday afternoon, called in to explain
why they should boost the price from
50 to 60 cents per 100 pounds. The
advance has ben held up by Mr.
Allen.
At the hearing, the ice men were.
given until next Tuesday to file af
fidavits and expense accounts showing
the achial cost in connection with the
handling and delivery of ice.
May 15 of this year the retail ice
dealers and the peddlers were before
Mr. Allen and then assured him
that during the present .season, to
homes, ice would be delivered at 50
cents per 100 pounds. The proposed
advance of 10 cents was' without notice
to the food administration and was
put in effect by several of the dealers.
However, they have all agreed to go
back to the old prices and continue
them in. effect until Mr. Allen can di
gest the figures to be submitted next
Tuesday.
Not Many Bookkeepers.
At the hearing yesterday, few of
the dealers could tell definitely what
it is costing them to do business,
though they all assured Mr. Allen
that they are barely making a living.
L. U. Gregory, however, keeps
books and from his records he showed
that with the sales from his one
wagon,' after paying all expenses, he
has $4.80 per day- net profit. He tm
ploys two men as helpers and his net
profit is $2 a day on the work of one
of them and $1.50 on the other.
Other dealers thought that during
the summer months their net profits
would be around $50 to $60 a week.
but contended that during six months
of the year they only made expenses,
or a trifle more. ? -

tate Boards Fail
To Agree on Express
Rates at Washington
From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Aug. 16. (Special.)
Representatives, of the Nebraska,.
Iowa and South Dakota railway com
missions were unable to reach ant
-Trdefinite, agreement on express jrates
at me conference in wasnington iasi
Monday, which was called by Di '
rector Prouty of the traffic depart
ment of the federal railroad admin
istration. ' - '
Mr. Prouty proposed that the state .
commissionecs abandon " their oppo
sition to the interstate scale of rates
now effective, adopting it for traffic
within the states as well as on hauls t
that cros state lines. 'The director "
wnts this proposition to include the ,
10 per cent increase recently allowed
by the Interstate Commerce commis
sion, but the conferees would not
agree on this point.
. Although Prouty insisted that he
was seeking uniformity, " the statj
commissioners at a later conference
with his chief assistant and express
company heads found the rates are fat
from uniform throughout the coun
try. It developed that Xt east ha!
an advantage over the west. Ther
are five different zones and Nebraska '
is partly in the third and partly in
the fourth.' Jllinois is in, the first,..
Missouri in the second and Iowa in
the third, so that rates vary, in all
these adjoining states. ' ' -
Director Prouty was told by Com-
missioner Taylor of Nebraska and
representatives from the Iowa and
South Dakota boards that they
would be willing to have their stater .
adopt th zone system of rates on
which" the interstate scale is based, v
but not the rates themselves.
. Joint action in the matter by the
commissions of the three states, in
terested may follow.
