ocai E. W. WAQNER A CO.'S REVIEW CHICAGO, Feb. 11. Considerable realizing on the bulge in corn, but local sentiment appears to have changed for the moment. There ia a fairly greater belief in purchases. Western cash corn seems to be 1 to 4 cents higher. There Is a small improvement In the eastern , cash demand. Some early corn strength was based on reports that hedges against Argentine corn purchases were being taken off in the pit. More gossip that the 17 H cent hog will be a help to corn on the dips. - Several very good critics believe exports from Argentine and Austria will be slow affair. It is reported that coal supplies .are somewhat of a hindrance to the movement of corn. Eastern crop news today bullish. Illinois torn and oats reserves look quite liberal.

WEIDNER PRESENTS REASONS IVIIY BRIDGE SHOULD NOT BE BUILT

Edward- J. Weidner, treasurer of Wayne county, has written the following article giving the reasons why in his belief, the South Side bridge should not be built at this time : Every business man is buying goods only from hand to mouth because of his fear that prices will go lower. I do not believe that the county should plunge ahead and buy where any private Individual will not, and I believe that if held off -a year or two, the South Side bridge can be built for $25,000 less. . , '. - If the county unit bill becomes a law. and if the South Side bridge and the new boulevard are built, these improvements alone will raise the total tax rate between 2,0 arid 25 cents. City Is Broke. The city of Richmond, too, was broke, on the 10th of January, this year, and I have advanced the administration $18,000 so that the city will not have to borrow money. The final payment of the city's share of taxes is not due until June and they will have it all spent before that time. These facts mean that the city's tax rate ought to be . raised next year, in addition to the probable tax raise for the improvements. The Doran bridge ought to be repaired and we had better look after the people in West Richmond and Fairview instead of looking after the commons and cornfields of the southwest side. Not Paying Taxes. The Morton Lake and Park company was the dream of a few of the came men who are pushing the South side bridge,, and the Lake and Park company have not paid their taxes or improvements for a year, which results In the city treasurer not paying the bonds due on the Lake and Park improvement. It we spend $200,000 in the next year, let us sDend it for good roads In I Wayne county instead of on a south side bridge which will benefit only a few people. Roads will benefit the whole county, and besides this, labor will get more from the building of good roads than building the bridge. Tax Rate is $3.50. Our tax rate for Richmond for 1918 is $3.50. What will it be if we keep spending our money for something we do not need, our city "broke and our county funds the lowest in several COLORED LEAGUE OPENS TOMORROW The first game of the Colored Sunday school basketball league will be played tomorrow night between the Bethel Sunday school team and the team from the Fountain City Sunday school. The game will be played at the Garfield gymnasium on South Twelfth street, at 8 o'clock. Walter Dennis is coaching the Bethel team. PLAN INCREASE IN MISSION BUDGET Richmond Presbyterians are to be asked to raise for missions from 30 to 40 per cent more than they did last year. Part of the New Era Movement of the denomination involves the fixing of a budget for the great mission and educational boards of the church and a pledging of their requirements by a house to house visitation of each congregation during a week in March. Details of what is required of the local congregations will be explained Tuesday and Wednesday of next week February 11 and 12, at a conference of Presbyterian churches of the central west at Chicago. Dr. J. J. Rae of First Presbyterian church will attend the meeting from Richmond. The main conference will be held in Fourth Presbyterian church, Chicago, with smaller groups for discussion of the problems and men, and women and young people. Leaders of the church will be on the program for addresses. It is expected that 600 or more Presbyterian pastors and lay men and women from outside Chicago will attend the sessions. The Chica go conference is one of twenty being held in various parts of the country. The budget for the church totals $13,400,000 for missions and education. This has been apportioned among each church according to mem-, bership and financial ability. Four Hundred Tickets Sold for "Y" Banquet Four hundred tickets had been sold up to noon today for the Fathers' and Sons' banquet at the Y. M. C. A. tonight. Women from the various churches of the city were busy at the association building arranging long tables in the gymnasium, where the banquet is to be held. The services of about forty women to act as waitresses has been secured, and final arrangements promise a very successful affair tonight. Illllllilill!!!!;;:!:'!'!!!!!!!'!:!!!!!!'

years on account of high prices? Where would the city of Richmond and Wayne county have been if I had not made a drive on delinquent taxpayers in the last two years? The working class of Richmond who own their own homes, and the small farmers will have to stand the burden of the tax, as they generally give in their personal assessment at what it is worth. Come to the county treasurer's office and look over the assessments given in for personal property by some of the people here in Richmond, and then see who is going to pay for the South Side bridge. I am not saying these things for my own personal benefit, as I am only one taxpayer, hut I do say that the South Side bridge ought not to beulit, as I do know the condition of the city treasury and also that of the Wayne county general funds. -

REPORTS SAVING IN RAIL COST FOR NORTHWEST (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Feb. 11. R. H. Aishton, regional director of railroads for the northwest, in his annual report for the year ended December 31, 1918. made public today shows that a total saving of $34,233,282 was effected in the operating expenses of the lines under his control as a result of the unifications "and economies due to government operation. Director Aishton pointed out that in the unification of terminals 90 passenger and 136 freight stations were closed. "We found a great many industries were served by two or more railroads," I said the report. "In some cases as many as 19 different railroads serving one plant or district solely for competitive reasons and with a very great waste. Wherever it has been possible or practicable to do so this has been eliminated and the switching at a single industry confined to one line." "By the elimination of unnecessary passenger trains 3,280,400 miles were saved last year, a reduction in operating cost of about $1 per train mile. "A very careful analysis and study of the entire railroad situation and economy in operation under unified control has shown there are many wasteful practices in effect under separate operation. Considerable traffic moving over the extremely long routes must have been handled with a loss when figured in the total. All of these various plans have not been in effect a sufficient length of time to determine as to their ultimate encooomies and the determination of future progress in that direction." LIBERTY OF TRANSIT . . TO BE PROVIDED (By Associated Press) PARIS, Feb. 11. The commission on ports, waterways and railways of the peace conference met today, with Dr. Silvic Crespl, of Italy, in the chair. England, supported by America, proposed the proclamation of the principal of complete liberty of transit to every country on equal conditions to all. This principal was opposed by Albert Claveille, for France, and Lambros A. Coromilas, for Greece, who pointed out that England and America occupied special situations that made the question of commercial land transit insignificant for them. The commission appointed two subcommissions, one to study the question of the control of ports, waterways and railways and the other the question of liberty of transit. The first committee has approved of the principle that no country may charge duties on goods passing through its ports or over its railways or waterways, other than the freight rates pnid on goods destined for the country itself. Neither may they levy on such goods customs or local taxes. Belgian delegates protested against allowing freight destined for the German ports to pass through their terri tory exempt of duty, thus helping the prosperity of Germany. They claimed j e.lso that such measures snould be ! taken as would make navigation of the ' Scheldt river free for Belgium. The Czecho-Slovaks and Poles insisted on having ports of their own, the former on the Adriatic, and the , latter, on the Baltic. The commission agreed that navigation of the Rhine and Danube should be free to all countries bordering on them or through which these rivers pass. The Rhine passes or borders Switzerland, Germany, France and Holland, and the Danube holds the' same relation to Germany, Austria, Bohemia, Hungry, Serbia, Bulgaria and Rumania. In. the schools of the Philippine islands there are 11,000 native teachers and 500 American instructors.
