LA FOLLETTE AND HEARST FORCES MAY FORM THIRD PARTY

Progressive Conference at Chicago Develops into Political Boom, By United Press CHICAGO, May 25. —American railroads are prepared to demand a valuation increase that would add $1,500,000,000 annually so the cost of living, leaders in Senator Robert M. La Follette’s national “progressive bloc" conference for lower valuation declared today. Arrival of La Follette, Mayor John F. Hylan, New York, and others whose 1 names have been linked with a proposed insurgent political movement, was a signal for reports that “medJcine will bo mixed” at the two-day session, which began today, for a coalition of La Follette and William Randolph Hearst followers and some labor leaders into a third party for 1924. Politicians Among Relegates Several members of Congress, Governors. labor and “public interest” organization heads are among the delegates. Some of the congressional “conservative progressives,” however, failed to arrive after being announced as delegates. The outstanding figures in the meeting besides La Follette included: William Jennings Bryan; John Hylan, mayor of New York; William Dever, mayor of Chicago; Governors Ross, Montana; Sweet, Colorado; Hufit of Arizona and Blaine of Wisconsin. About twelve representatives in Congress were on hand. “There will be no third party until there is a major league ignored by both old parties," said Bryan. Donald R. Rlchberg, legal adviser to the conference, today sounded the keynote' of the sessions in Chicago City Hail council chambers with assertions that on the basis of interstate commerce commission’s policy of fixing valuation on reproduction costs the railroads will demand a $lO.000,000,000 increase ever the so-callea “1914 valuation” of $15,900,000,000. “This would add $550,006,000 yearly’ to national freight and passengei rates which would be tripled when passed onto the American people in form of increased cost of commodities.” Commission Accused Rlchberg accused the interstate commerce of failing to obey the valuation act which provides the commission shall determine the investment of the railroads and the reproduction costs and then sot a reasonable valuation on the basis of which the 5M> guaranteed return shall be determined. “In arriving at the ‘1914 valuation’ which is tentative, the commission took the reproduction costs at that time," Rlchberg declared. “The commission within the next year will complete its permanent valuation estimate ar.d this will be based on 1914 reproduction costs, wo understand. ' When this is done it will be a simple Wiatter for the railroads to come forward and demand a valuation on Aresent cost of reproduction which w*>ul I A Origin:)! Cost Is Bop is *T'nis conference holds that the true ♦valuation should .be a fair estimate based on the actual original cost of the roads and the reproduction costs, as stated In the valuation act. Such a compilation would decrease the 1914 tentative valuation and lower rates and the cost of living millions of dollars. It would give the railroads the return to whicn they are entitled, and an adequate one under efficient management. “This case is a suit of the railroads against the people for $10,000,000,000 mere than they have loaned the people. Evidence on behalf of the people—through failure of the I. C. C. to determine the actual Investment of the roads —is being practically ex eluded.” CLOUDBURST FLOODS CARTHAGE, MISSOURI Scores Rescued as Homes Are l"nudated—City Is Without Lights.
