WHAT IT SHOULD COST. After an exhaustive study of the situation the National Editorial Asportation has mad up the cost of a cwuntry newspaper, and at the- rates for which it should sell. They estimate that the cost has risen between 300 and 400 per cent of pre war prices During: that time the advertising Increase has beeu only about 33 1-3 per cent, and subscriptions only about 50 per cert.' They claim that the following scale must be adopted in advertising in order that the country newspaper must live; pupers under f00 circulation, 30c

per inch, from that to 1,000, 2oc; to 1,500, 30c, to

2.O00. 35c. to 3,500, 35c, to 1.000, 40c; to 5,000, 50; to 10.000 from 70 to 90c . They warn the country newspaper to adopt thi3 scale or repare to go under as thousands have already done.

has been appealed to in a simitar way. Meanwhile SanauT Harding refuses to depart from the plain spirit rt the constitution and invade the rights cf states by attempted coercion cf their executives. He believes the Intelligent women of the nation will cot desert a party that furnkiied the votes in both houses of congress that submitted the amendment to the states for ratification, ar.d directed the action of twenty-nine of the thirtyfive legislatures that have taken favorable ballots upon it.

A B2AIN ST0BM WAHNTNG. F.v.nts having produced a favorable stat of the public mind, seers and prophets, operating with or without the assistance of magic crystals, bring forth their phantasies assured in advance that, no matter how highly colored, they will receive serious attention from some In the distraught world, bne of the wildest imaginings, ye', one pregnant with evil possibilities because worked nut -with impressive circumstantiality, is fathered by Rene Pinon and published in a respectable Paris review. It describes a Bolshevik-Islamic-Turanic-Germanic alliance that is alleged to be forming with the avowed purpose of overwhelming Western civtliation and apportioning the world on the basis of Aula for the Asiatics arid the rest for Bolshevism. The conspirators have central headquarters in Moscow, sectional basis in Berlin and Anat.clia, while Switzerland is used as a clearing house for the intrigue. At the appointed time the fanatical hordes of Asia and the Bolshevik, millions of Russian will begin a conquering sweep westward'and the emancipation of the world from batjefu! domination will be accomplished swiftly. That the turbulent and conscienceless spirts of various types of fanaticism have the will to attempt such an enterprise i3 not beyond belief. There are signs in plenty not only that the native races of Asia and Moslems generally are tending to make a determined effort to free themselves from the rule of imperialistic westerners but that the Bolshevists have ha substantial success in winning converts among certaia-jelafcaeiits of more or less democratically governed countries and that these latter are prepared to go Xp anjf'&ecessary lengtha to put into effect the revolutionarjlpla-nfc originating with Lenine and Trotzky. But th3T?J'eeira civilization ia so near collapse aa to be Impot"nVio'"irt-event their consultation with relatively sllghSorla beyond imagination. jfc:m Fanatical Aetana, could they unltejfTn "an- commcn cause, might conceivably overcome therJomInatiag powers on the ground and obtain freedom lampwarlly.

CANALS COMING BACK.

The number of barges and or companies opera-

ing barges over the Erie canal Is increasing. Only the other day formation of another large company to eugage In canal transportation betwven New York City

1 and Buffalo wis announced. j This is an venf of importance not onlv to the ter- ; litcry immediately affected bin 'o the whole country

vill tend to relieve, the already greatly overrail lines

The new ptpel barges will each have the carry ins capacity of 11 freight fars. To will equal a freight trp,n of moderate length. Four will carry the heaviest freight trains. The Erie canal, when first opened in 1S25, would carry barges of not over 75 tons capacity; now the

limit is 1.000 tons The. canal has been deepened to 12 feet. The new barges will be towed by steam tugs from New York to Buffalo In seven days and will come back without the tugs in five days. Othe raectlons of the country, notably Detroit, are engaged in movements to extend deep waterway transportation, and it is a srep that promises to greatly relieve transportation congestion. More extended use of the canals means relief for the railroads, and that means relief for nearly everybody and nearly every business.

THE MOVIE STRIKE. There is talk of a moving picture strike ThEcton? and actresses are not demanding more money- ?. least they are not threatening to strike for it but the men who actually make the plotures are Involved. The threatened strike Is by the camera operators and laboratory workers. It may be surprising to most folks that anybody connected with the motion picture industry ran be

either underpaid or disconieured Most of he vis- 1 ible supplv of money was supposed to be devoted to 1

the movies, nnd producing the films that. 'amuse and entertain the country's toiling masses ought to be a highly congenial occupation. The picture of a movie employe suffering from the oppression of wage servitude is a novel one, even for the screen But, after all, the mechanical process of reproducing the heroine's smile on the film, no lss than the. constant contemplation of custard pie throwing episodes, mav become ns much of a bore to the worker as operating a loom or a nail making machine.

VILLA TO ESCAPE PUNISHMENT. , In granting full amnesty to the notorious bandit, I

Villa, De La Wuerta does not Increase confidence In the new Mexican government on this side of the Ri( Grande. Whatever the political and domestic expediency that prompted the head of the federal government to accept the "surrender" of th outlaw chief on his own terms, he showed Insulting disregard of the rights of the United States. The terms cn which Villa surrendered, or, rather, agreed to end his bandit career, make it impossible for this country to demand his extradition to stand trial for the slaying of 1 9 Americans at Columbus. N M., in ISIS. Villa is under indictment in New Mexico for murder as a sequel to the raid by his outlaw band. Under an extradition agreement between the United States and Mexlct either country may demand the extradition of persons charged with murder. But this is important the same agreement provides that granting of mich a request Is optional With either country. And since Huerta has granted the bandit leader the right to "live the life of a private citizen unmolested," it is hardly likely that his extradition, if requested by Washington, will be granted. This latest development in Mexican affairs is interesting, but It certainly will not Increase sentiment in this country for recognition of the new regime.

Probably few people realize the important part th- Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad play in the daily affairs of this district. Apart from its strategic location with refer-nce to Chicago and Middle West shipping, arid to transcontinental traffic m general, this railroad is the main transportation artery of Calumet Region industries. However dependent other communities are upon their railroads, the Calumet Region is especially so. Primarily a great steel center, this region by the very nature of its business carries on production on a vast scale and accordingly requires adequate and elastic transportation facilities, capable of meeting all demand;. These industries, have such a transportation service. Further, their being served by the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad gives to them the profitable advantages of contact with the trunk systerns from East and West, and North and South, whose lines converge as they approach Chicago. Literally speaking, the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad is an indispensable connecting link between the several systems, the tie that helps unify their freight traffic as if all were operated as one railway. Functioning for local industries, the Belt line receives from the railroads incoming loads of raw materials and delivers to them manufactured materials, and in moat cases furnishes the switching service to the plants. So interwoven into the manufacturing fabric of the region and so vital a part 13 it that were the continuity of operations of the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad to sustain an interruption of two weeks the result merely from the local standpoint would be the closing of every major industry in Hairimond, Whiting, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. In consequence, 'widespread unemployment would follow in these cities and local business would be seriously depressed.

There is a direct relation between operations of the district.
