"Whatrvrr Gorernor Thinks" Hal
Become Byword In Chicago,
Where Members Are Gather
ing for Conference Today.
CHICAGO. July 14. (Special)
Waiting patiently for -orders. That,
briefly, is what the Democratic Na
tional committeemen were doing today.
Gorernor Wilson is to be "boas." His
word In his own handwriting is to
be the law. It Is contained In a letter
Robert S. Hudspeth will read to the
committeemen assembled here tomor
row.
The Democratic bosses, who flocked
Into Chicago today to attend the first
session of the National committee, did
not seem arerse to taking orders from
Gorernor Wilson. They all doffed their
hats to the Mosquito State Executive,
acknowledged his dictatorship and then
bubbled orer regarding his chances to
Norember.
The outlook forecasts perfect har
mony at the meeting. If there is a
fight of any kind it will be a surprise.
Wkat Wlleoa Thiaks" Goes.
"Whatever the Governor thinks." be
came almost a copyrighted phrase In
the Congress Hotel lobby, where the
Democratic chieftains loafed. Few of
them were absolutely certain what
the Gorernor would think, but. what
erer It was, they were willing to accept
his riews.
William F. McCombs, the New Tork
lawyer aad Princeton graduate, who
managed Gorernor Wilson's Presiden
tial conrentlon campaign,- was conced
ed to be Gorernor Wilson's choice for
the National chairmanship. The secre
taryship was believed to rest between
Urey Woodson, of Kentucky, present
secretary, and Joseph E. Davles. Na
tional committeeman from Wisconsin,
and one of Wilson's most ardent sup
porters. For treasurer there were four names
mentioned. They were William G. Mo
Adoo. the tunnel builder of New Tork;
Edward F. Goltra, National committee
man from Missouri; Herman Kidder,
newspaper publisher of New Tork and
former treasurer, and ex-Governor
Francis, of St. Louis. If McAdoo is
chosen, he will be put in charge of
New Tork state to control.
CisaltlN la Doubt as Daty. .
There are 24 new members on the
committee. They spent the day ram
bling around getting acquainted and
nosing for news as to what was to be
expected of them. The particularly
popular committeemen seemed to be
those who had last been at Seagirt and
talkel with Gorernor Wilson. All had
plenty to say regarding what the Gov
ernor had told them, but when they at
tempted to say what he would demand
of th- committee . they- found they
really ew little. ' .
There were several things upon
which all of the committeemen agreed.
Chief of these was thst the Gorernor
would demand that his campaign be
kept free from the "tainted touch of
the predatory Interests." Another was
that no campaign contributions would

Commerce Commissioner Believes
Step -Has. Been Made Toward
Reducing Cost of ' Living.
Business Is Intertwined.
WASHINGTON, July 14. Sweeping
reductions in express rates averaging
approximately 15 per cent, drastlo re'
forms In regulations and practices,
and comprehensive changes in the
methods of operation, are prescribed
in a report made publlo today by the
Interstate Commeroe Commission of
Its Investigation Into the business of
the 13 great express companies of the
United States.
Dealing with the identity of inter
est between the various companies, the
report finds that while these compa
nles are separate legal entitles. "It
is of interest to regard this fact that
by stock ownership and otherwise they
are so interlaced. Intertwined and In
terlocked that it is with difficulty
we can traoe any one of the greater
companies as either wholly indepen
dent in its management or the agency
of a single railroad system. So that
while these companies operate sepa
rately and compete with each other
for traffic, the express business may
be said to be almost a family affair.
Business la Three Groups.
"An Interesting - genealogical tree.
In fact, might be drawn showing
common ancestry In all of the larger
companies. And while many names
may be used to designate these com
panics, it is within the- fact to say
that aside from the operations of the
minor . and distinctively railroad ex
press companies, the express business
of the United States Is managed by
not more than three groups of inter
eats."
The inquiry was the most extensive,
and probably the most thorough, ever
prosecuted by the Commission. It was
conducted and the report was pre
pared by Commissioner Franklin K.
Lane. It has been in progress nearly
three years. The report itself makes
600 printed pages. It involved an ex
amination of millions of way-bills and
an Investigation, through the books of
the companies, of their financial op
erations and business methods.
Commissioner Lane is of the opinion
that the conclusions reached constitute
a long step towards the solution of
that gravest problem of the American
householder, the high cost of living.
The greatest reduction of rates pro-
proposed Is on small packages that
is, on parcels which weigh less than
12 pounds. Rates on packages of more
than 12 pounds were found to be more
reasonable than those on smaller par
eels.
New Rates Analysed.
Briefly stated, the new rates may)
be said to be based upon a minimum
charge of 21 cents for a one-pound
package. This charge Increases in
ratio to the increase of weight and
was that the Governor would be per
mitted to bare the "whip hand" In the
managing of his own campaign. While
the Gorernor will not be present In
body when the committee meets at
noon. he. will be there In spirit. His
.message . will corer . all debatable
points, It is said.

Of foremost Importance Is the re
qulrement that all of the express com
panies shall Join in the establishment
of through routes by the quickest lines
of communication between all express
offices and shall publish through rates
to apply between those points. The
same provision gives the shipper the
right to name the route by which his
property shall be carried. It is be
lieved by Commissioner Lane' that
these provisions will effect an im
provement in the service and a great
economy to the carriers, which now
haul shipments often - times by cir
cuitous routes to avoid turning them
orer to a connecting line.
The most radical departure from
existing methods lies in that adopted of
applying the new rates. In the United
States there are 35,000 express sta
tions. To name rates from each of
these to erery other one requires the
statement of more than 800,000.000 dif
ferent rates. The rates themselves are
Intricate and involved, and it requires
expert authority to determine the law
ful rate between any two points,
The problem of reducing this enor
mous volume of rate schedules to a
genuinely practicable compass Is one
to which Commissioner Lane devoted
most serious attention. He has evolved
a method whereby the rates from any
point in the United States to all other
points may be printed on a single sheet
or card about one-fourth of the size
of a single newspaper page.
Block System Proposed.
The first step in the consummation
of the plan was the division of the
United - States into blocks, each ap
proximately SO miles square. Rates
are proposed between each of these
blocks, treating all cities and towns
within each block as common points.
Each of these blocks Is one degree of
longitude in length and one degree of
latitude in width. To every express
station within each of these blocks the
rate is the same from any other given-
block. Thus the rate is stated as be
tween blocks rather than as between
cities. Supplementing this block
system of making rates which consti
tutes each block a zone of origin or of
destination the rates are stated for
each package weighing from 1 to 100
pounds. The express companies will
be required to publish a directory of
express stations which will show the
block number, within which each sta
tion is located, and at each station
there will be filed a single-sheet tariff
which will give the rare from that
station to all 'other blocks in the
United States.
To illustrate: New Tork City is in
block 952. Some 20 other towns and
villages are included 1n that same
block. Chicago Is In block 838. which
also contains a score or more of cities
and towns. A shipper in New Tork
wishing to send a package to Chicago
will learn from the directory the block
in which Chicago is situated. . Then,
