VOL. XV. NO. 313. Commission Rules That Rates Should bs Reduced Ten Per Cent INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE) WASHINiilOA, iiay Zi. Cam- , vinced there was no immediate possibility of the voluntary slashing of. railroad tales desired by Pxeslde ntHardlng, the Interstate Commerce Commission today decided unanimously that the rates should be reduced 10 per rant, and issued an order making such reductions effective on July 1. t The rate increases granted to the laliroads In 1S20 were ordered reduced as follows: Eastern group, 40 per cent to zx pr cent; Western group. S3 per tent to 21. 5 per cent. kowtbDrn, a&d mountain Pacific gftXi. 14 er ent to 12.5 per cent; inter-territorlal group, 33 1-3 per tent to 20 per cent. The comnssjan estimated that the new ra&s Would reader the railroads u return on the properties of approximately 5.75 per cent ''under honest, efficient and economical n(anagement and reasonable expenditures for, maintenance of way, structures and equipment." The new eductions were "effected by ordering decreases in the horizontal rate Increases authorized by tUe commission on August 26, 1920. Itates which . have been reduced since that date are not affected by today's . order, remaining at their present 'level.' Chairman. McChord of the commission agreod to the reduction of rates, but expressed the opinion that ths fixed return of the railroads should be 5.5 per cent Instead of 5.75 per cent. "I think that the times and condition plainly demand reduction in rates on all materials and prodfeots that af baaio La Industry and In our existence as a people to a level that business interests will recognize as the lowest available fet some time to" come,'! McChord 'srtd. "In my Judgment the general reductions now decreed fall short of full attainment of the desired end." Chairman McChord alscj said that reductions on the general basis outlined by him should be applied likewise to passenger fares which were not Included in the decision handed down today. Commissioner EMlmui, while concurring in the reduction of rates expressed the ppinion that the labor board shosld act In some degree of co-operation ' "The reu4Mt f wages is Independent of em action that we may Uke as. io rates'' said Eastman, ut thVMRwWh of rates is heeessarfly fnduencea by any action that the labor board rhay take as to wages. At th.et present time the labor board has the -vtages of all railroad employes' yjujet consideration, but .we are actlfig without 'awaltlnfc its decision and our action l, and roust necessarily be, based imwi fining wage. "Based upon existing wages we have not right to assume or to eonelude that wages will or ought to be reduasd. Nevertheless, these wages which constitute the chief factors in railroad operating expense, are now on trial and it is at least possible that they will be reduced. If they should be, we mu'st either reopen our proceedings and make a new determination, to the confusion of industry, or the country must forego for a time so large a rdijc; tlon in freight rates as would thave been possible if we had postponed our decision." 'v'i ! Eastman said hia padfemenVwa it would have been . better f it j the ' "commission had announced sevora? weeks ago that its decision would be deferred until after the lAbor Board had acted. "Not for the5ur' pose of prejudging. the question,, of wages or of influencing the action of that body but for the purpose o so timing our own action that '.we might be assured that the rate which we are prescribing wouid'rbe the lowest possible under the law and the rates most likely to remain table for some considerable period of time.'' Commissioner Totter said while the result of future rerrtlpns are I in doubt, due to uncertainty as to the duration of the existing coal strike and other factors, he wa3l convinced that the forecast which the commission was required to make was Justified- y present prospects. He favored a reduction in passenger tares; It was maintained by Commissioner Jjirwls tat a ten per.cenj. reduction will, in the cue of many commccfrtrea, iwerite pOceptlble Influence in lowering the living costs, stimulating lnd-ustry, ameliorating economic conditions or triijglng us Into "more favorable and cqu-itabla relationships at home and abroad. Commissioner Cox!, while agreeing to the reduction held thr.t "th? amount available for reduction at this time should he applied to agricultural products, rarr "material and basic commodities which are essential to the re-establlshment of Industry aid the employment of lafeor.

RQTAHflS DEAR DEBATE ISlIfflfID Question of Abolishing Pittsburgh " Plus Engrosses Rotary Club. The Hammond Rotary club heard a most .interesting debate yesterday between Roscoe Woods, affirmative, and Herman Popjenhusen, negative, on the question - of "Abofishlng , Pitts burgs Plus." .Woods debated the history of the steel industry1 which started at Philadelphia, later establisheditself at Pittsburgh and more recently has developed large productive capacity in the Calumet district. The reasons, for the location of industry in this district are due to being clos to raw materails. close to the center of population ajid industry, and good distribution facilities, and these result in the production of steel in Gary' and Chicago approximately 18 per cent, cheaper than at' Pittsburgh. ; The so-called method of selling known as "Pittsburgh Plus" originated about 1901 and means that in competitive markets practically all steel is sold as though it originated at Pittsburgh. He stated that the actual .effects of this plan of selling is to place a tariff barrier around Chicago and western fabricating plants, according to the testimony of several local firms such as Graver and Keith Railway Equipment Company regarding the difficulty of competing under these conditions. He used certain comparisons to show the cost of the .delivery of fabricated products at intermediate points such a South Bend. Indianapolis and Detroit. Herman Poppenhusen, In the rebuttal, acknowledged the statements presented by his opponent hut asserted that the situation was entirely logical besed upon the law of business applicable ' to every business: namely, the law of supply and demand. He stated that Chicago 'territory and Ks tributary district lying west and southwest was only producing 49 per cent of their requirements. The balance of the requirements were furnished from Pittsburgh and of course the Pittsburgh operators could only quote cost price plus freight to Chicago. This condition la analogous to other staple markets such as wheat, cotton and corn on which the price Is based on such distributing points as Chicago, New Orleans, Omaha and Kansas City. During times whn there is very little demand for steel, it 4s quoted in tlje local territory, to be delivered from local mills, at Pittsburgh miuus. He stated that should the Federal trade commission abolish the present method of billing. It would reappear in different form as the local manufacturer would always sell at the price established by his competitor. The only way to prevent this would be for the commission to attempt price fixing which, of course, is illogical and antagonistic to good business. It was Indicated by the subsequent discussion that if the local mills can produce for $6.00 per ton less than Pittsburgh mills and then sell this steel In the. local markets at a price equivalent to bringing teel in from Pittsburgh, they will receive approximately $13.00 per ton more than their competitors In1 Pittsburgh. The proper deduction! from this is that the district is destined to be further developed in steel production on account of this excellent profit and should the production exceed the requirements, e-ventually the competitive price wlll.be based upon local production entirely and not upon national production. . Several members asked questions relative to the discussion but there was no consensus of opinion, regarding the matter. There was a large delegation of Reparians from Gary present, ln eluding W. G. Gleason, Gary Mills! Captain ' Norton, Gary -Land Company: also Colonel Riley and C. A. Westburg of East Chicago. Cop Thought They Were Kidding Him CHICAGO, May 24 Nobody can kid Henry Brautlgan, who rides a motorcycle and rules the highway that runs through Wilmette, a north shore suburb. Therefore When Henry halted an automobile that was breezing along at 35 miles an hour and the chauffeur tried to tell him that hs passengers were the governor of Minnesota, the governor of New York, thf go-ernor of Kansas, etc., Henry cynically remarked: "Everyone tRet gets , arrested is always a Governor or a millionaire. Tell It to Judge Hickey, Saturday morning." . Thus It came about that Governor J. A. O. Preus, of Minnesota; Gov. Henry Allen, of Kansas; Gov. Nathan Miller, of New York: Attorney William G. Martin, of New Tork. and Alexander. H. Revel. Chicago millionaire, . were pinched for speeding. The chauffeur will represent them In court Saturday.

A GENTLE A Dick Maddux, collector of inter nal revenue at Hammond once more finds it necessary to prod up those in his territory who are becoming lax in observing sonr.e of the regu lations of the Internal Revenue Department. Proprietors of Ice cream parlors, soda fountains, sift drink places and similar refreshment stores know that the tax on ice cream was eliminated January 1.. This has causeci some Of the negligent regarding other features of the law which are still In force. ' "The removal of the ice cream tax did not relieve the situation as to the tax on syrups and other concoctions which are used In manufacturing," Mys Mr. Maddux. "The law also requires they must regieter and receive certificates of registration. These must he posted in their places of business bo that they may be seen by revenue Inspectors whenever they drop in. There is absolutely no chance for them to escape at least a $10 compromise penalty if they fail to do this even if their taxes are paid." ' These certificates, by -the way, are not transferable. Summer resort dances, entertainments, motorcycle races and all forms Of public entertainments, where admission Is charged are also coming in for some of the collector's warning. They also required to register and when tickets are used and admission charged, sample tickets must first be submitted to th collector for his approval. Even a printer is' liable to a. penalty for printing tickets befqfe. they have been approved. In cases where entertainments are given by recognized charitable institutions, organized and incorporated, those. In charge must visit the collector and file a certificate of exemption under affidavit. Mr. Maddux also calls attention to the fact that all special stamp taxes issued to places of entertainment, pool and billiard rooms, taxlcabs. etc., expire June 30 and unless they are renewed will carry the 25 per cent penalty for failure to do so.

Beveridi.-e, Republican nominee for United States senator from Indiana, declared in his address before the state Republican convention that there is no factionalism in the Republican party. ' Pledging himself to follow th leadership of President Harding, the former Bull . Moose chieftain praised in h'ghest terms the Junior senator from Indiana, James Eli Watson, keynote speaker of the convention and reoognlied leader of the "old guard" Republicans. Mr. Beveridgo did rot discuss the four-power jact or the conference on the limitatio nof armaments, but confined his speech to domestic affairs. He characterized. "Washington's farewell address as the "wisest and most prophetic state paper ever penned." however, although he did not quote that part of the farewell address referring to "entangling alliances." The senatorial nominee paid tribute to Governor McCray who p.eceded him on the platform, and praised Senator Watson as ".Indiana's own gifted son, statesman and matchless orator." He dedjared America is to be congiatultaed on an official record "so splendid." "Republicans of Indiana, our national motto is eternally true," he declared, "and once again we will prove Its triumphant verity 'united we stand.' Today we Indi ana Republicans, x.r.sha ttered by factionalism, unweBkened by con flicting ambitions, unriven by antagonistic policies and hostile prin ciples today we Republicans, with solid ranks and a single spirit be gin our harmonious advance toward a common victory in November. "During the coming battle and thereafter, we Indiana Republicans will strive In generous rivalry with our brothers and sister sin other states, to set highest of all . the standard of loyalty to and loce for that noble leader ot our party throughout the nation, the president of the United States, In whose ad mirable administration we take such pride, that wise, steady, patriotic. broad visioned statesman, that typ ical American and faithful Republican, Warren G. Harding; and to him. ou rcaptain. we pledge our fealty and support." "The supreme and only immedi ate duty at hand In domestic affairs is to rfstore American busi ness to full strength and vigor," declared Mr. Beverldge. saying the reduction of governmental expense. 'so well and efficlentl ybegun by President Harding, must go on." Revision of the tax laws "so that capital may fto wfrealy through tbs veins of industry" was urged by tke speaker, who pointed out that Just shipping rates an dadequate service are Indispensable to prosperity. The term business has lost all ominous meaning that it may have had and It now means merely th commercial and Industrial activity of all the people, he said. "When, therefore, we proclaim our purpose to restore American business, we make declaration of the return to rrosperity to all the American people." said Mr. Beverldge, "and that is the patriotism of peace not so splendid and glorycrowned as the resounding and militant patriotism of war. but patriotism none the less genutne and true, bearing on its golden winds to every household in the land."
