that way can the roads reach a sound financial and physical batds. It may be assumed that intrastate passengers, ehould they consult their own Belflsh Interests alone, would choose to pay 'I cents a mile, rather than 3-6 cents, but If payment of 2 cents means still further inefficiency and reduced service, does not wisdom dictate the higher fare, if It will lead to the kind of service the country needs and must have. It In possible that the increases In both fares and freight rates are temporary, simply a means to enable the roads to regain position where they can adequately serve the public, a form cf bonus that Is not Intended to be perpetual, should the need for it pasa. To be effective if should not be nullified by conflicting state regulat ions. Such a policy would at least delay the day when reduced freight rates and passenger fares could be realized. We need enlarged transportation facilities, and if we must pay more in order to pain that end. the burden should fall evenly everywhere rpgnrdless ft state linen.

When people consider how they have been bilked by being forced to pay 32 cents n pound for what they used to pay five; when it is remembered how they cannot put up fruit for winter use because of the price, their sympathy for the sugar gougers will be readily understood.

WOMAN'S NEW RESPONSIBILITY. Now let us get the implications of woman's en

franchisement precisely fixed. Many have discovered I

in the "votes for women" movement a demand for privilege. But the women who have striven year in and year out to prevent equal franchise have had no misconception on this score. By thm let all women be instructed. The Nineteenth amendment means that the rights

nt citizenship are granted to women not only, but j

that the obligations of citizenship are impusod on them. Chief among the obligations is the taking of a citizen's part in the conduct of government, primarily by voting for representatives who, under our system, act for the people in public affairs. Much more is im-

rlel then the privilege of using the ballot. They ; should prepare to take their share, in the public busi- j nss of the country, take an active interest in public ' cuestions, in political organization. serve on election boards and on Juries which may not seem so emau- ; cinatlng. , This may seem to be expecting motJrora the ; women than a great many men cent ribute,.

paying the women the compliment, of placingrthem on an equality with the most public-spirited jner ,-yather than the indifferent and negative citizen JTrociivhat has been observed of the attitude of -woineaiiit polftieal campaigns they display a keenness.

THE WRONG ATTITUDE-

Something of a conflict ha3 arisen between Ftate end national authorities in regard to railroad rates on Intrastate traffic, perhaps it would ba hetter to say that In at least two instances the stata -authorities Incline now to follow the lead of the Interstate Commerce Commliion and permit intrastate rates to be pat on same basla as interstate rates?. J"ev York demands that Its chief line shall restrict 4tsi to its charter rate of fare, though the matter LMo be heard

further before being finally settled. "5a-Jllinola-the TubMc Service Commiaslon insists on Teturningr to the 2-cent rata. It would afford an anomalous situation should a long haul passenger in interstate riraffic be compelled to pay substantially twice the rate -of fare chirged the short haul Intrastate traveler Should the policy of making Intrastate rates lowerthen the interstate be upheld in these two instances other states would be prone to take like action and that would Vle-

Your Interests

In the series of advertisements printed in this newspaper the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad Company has emphasized the importance of regular operations of the railways to the public. The endeavor has been made to show what a railway strike means, what influences were behind the recent switchmen's outlaw strike, and what its continuance might have meant to you. i Having outlined-the indispensability of railways and the utter untenableness of unauthorized strikes on railways, this railroad company submits to your judgment and sense of fairness the question of what should be your attitude towards the men who had the moral courage to stand up and defy the mob in order to protect the pu blic's interests which after all are vour interests. These men bore the jeers and risked the violence of those who did not understand the facts; but they willingly took the risk that public disaster might be avoided. Fully aware of the dangers that threatened them and realizing that the security of their country was at stake, these men saw their dutv and acted accordingly.
