We Will Help You to Save Safely jflctrljfr Stagings anb Crust Company SAYS RAIL RATE CUT IS WESTERN FARMERS’ HOPE Kansas Utilities Commission Head Appeals to Commerce Board.

CHICAGO. Sept. 15— Lower mil rates which will Bare from ruin farmers of twenty Western States who last year operated at a loss are expected soon by Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the public utilities commission of Kansas, who, representing fourteen of the States, has appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission for the reduction. Reed, who arrived here with Governor Henry Allen of Kansas City today, expects a decision from the commission in time to help in the movement of this season’s crops. The hay, grain and corn harvests of Wisconsin, Minnesota, lowa, Utah, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Arizona, will be affected by the decision, Reed said. “Five railroad vice presidents appeared before the commissioners at the hearing,” Reed declared. “They tried to prove that the roads were not making money. But, from their own figures, we were able to show that nineteen Western railroads, representing 09 per cent of the mileage of twenty Western States, had piled tip corporate surpluses of a billion and a quarter dollars and that of this sum, in 1920 alone, f112,000,000 was added.” Reed charges that new funds have been created by the railroads into which surplus moneys have been placed so as not to show a profit. He charge* that a single new fund, never heard of before in railroading, was started last year, and tha $35,000,000 was hidden away in this fund which he says is called the operating reserve fund. “Upon the record,” concluded Reed, “We have proved our need for the reduced rates and the ability of the railroads to grant them. I look forward to a decision soon which will bring new hope to the farmers of the West.”

TIME REQUIRED FORCHANGE IN GERMAN IDEAS House Says Another Generation Needed to Put Country in Harmony. OLD SPIRIT NOT DEAD Special to Indiana Dally Tim** and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By COL. EDWARD M. HOUSE. PHILADELPHIA, Sept 15.—The irreconcilable difference between the parties of progress and the parties of reaction in Germany must sooner or later be settled at the polls tnd the chancellor evidently is preparing ,o go before the people and let them decide the issues in controversy. It will not bo until after this generation of Germans has passed away that German thought will find itself In harmeny with the thought and purpose* of the Atlantic powers. When the imperial German government, under the tutelage of Bismarck and his predecessors, began to direct and to mold national opinion In a way which would cause it to approve and blindly follow the governmental policies, one of the most efficient methods used was the almost complete control of the schools and universities. A child had but little chance for mental development along independent lines. The result was a nation homogeneous In thought and purpose, and one in which the State was exalted above the fundamental principles of right and wrong. No action, however, dishonest or immoral, was wrong if done in behalf of the State.

MACHINE BUILT FOR ADVANCEMENT OF STATE. It was a false conception, as we view it, but a child brought up under such a system had but little opportunity to fathom the truth. It brought about a ! devotion to the fatherland which tranI scended every other emotion, with the re- | suit that a great human machine was constructed bent upon the material advancement of Germany. If this machine had been directed more carefully and more intelligently the course of Western civilization might have been changed. Germany would have dominated the world or the other nations would have been forced to adopt methods akin to those Germany practiced in order to live upon anything like terms of equality with her. The defeat of the central powers shattered this human machine, but its parts are to be found in every nook and corner of the former empire and Its spirit still lives. It has Its advocates now as before and in the next election its forces will be marshaled with all the skill and Ingenuity of other days. BATTLE BETWEEN' THE OLD AND NEW. The present government, headod by its able chancellor. Dr. Wirth, will lead the opposing forces. It will be a battle between the old order and the new. The monarchists, the militarists and the great captains of industry will link shields and make common cause. They assert that Germany never can regain her position of influence and power sa.e through such direction as they a’one may give her. They promise a militant and an aggressive Germany lather than a peaceful and a submissive omx A virulent attack will be made upon the tax system proposed and to be proposed by the Wlrlh government and it may be they wiil hint at an agreement with Russia which today lies back in the minds of many Germans. The Wirth government can promise nothing but a continuation of the preseni policy which seeks to reclaim Germany in the eyes of the world. It is a policy diametrically opposed to that of the prewar oligarchy. German defeat is admitted and the results are accepted and a serious effort is being made tc meet the terms of the agreement concerning the payment of reparations. Above all, the present government is staunch in its determination to make Germany a republic iu fact as well ds in name. Great Britain sees more clearly than France the importance of the success of the Wirth government, or one with like purposes, and is doing what can be done in a legitimate way to sustain it. France, on the other hand, seems indifferent in the matter. Not without reason, she lacks confidence In the Intentions of the Germans to live up to their obligations. And yet. France ban more to gain than any other country in having Germany become a democracy. It would make less probable another war between the two countries, for such a decision would then rest with the people and not with a single man moved by hate or ambition.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
