MS ARE URGED
eeping Changes Desired to
Restore Credit.
MEDY IS ' SUGGESTED
mniiesion Appointed by Prcsi-
I'ent Recommends Servlce-at-
Cost Plan of Operation.
M
AtaSHINGTON, Aug. IS. ( Special.)
.sweeping reforms in the electric
Irajlway Industry, designed to restore
fcublic confidence and vitally needed
rcuit. were recommended luesaay in
he unanimous report made by the
ederal Klectric Railway commission
President Wilson. The commis
ibn has been Investigating the condl
icn of the industry for more than a
year, during which time It has heard
witnesses and examined hundreds
t reports and answers to QUeStiOn-
llI CO.
Outstanding among the recora-
endations is that for the lnstalla-
n of the service-at-cost plan of
eration. This plan, now operative
Cleveland. Cincinnati, Dallas, Mon-
eal and other cities, will, it is be-
ved, remove the industry from the,
Id of speculative gain, furnish
les at the lowest possible cost and
store credit and public confidence,
imarily, the plan provides for
rnishing rides at actual cost, which
all govern the rate of fares, and
r protecting the investor by guaran
eing a fixed return on an agreed
luation of his holdings.
IndaMtry Facfii Chaos.
Chaos faces the industry unless
edit is restored and co-operation
tween public, managements and
nployes established, the report in
sts. and no words are minced in
lling the three parties to the situa-
un where their respective duties lie.
Managements are advised that their
primary duty is to serve the public
ith the highest efficiency at the
ipwest cost, and not to use the in
dustry as a means of obtaining prof
its beyond what may be necessary
tpr upkeep, to pay a fair return upon
tjie agreed value of the property and
j,j secure the investment of funds
farther required. The public duty is
declared to be the supervision and
control of railway properties, with
jhe view of safeguarding the public
interest, and the allowance of such
j.yturn upon tho fair valuation of the
property as may be agreed upon in
tiie uunirani Deiween iae city ana inv
c,ompany. Employes, it is said, should
viave a living wage and humane hours
r!i labor and working conditions and
mpioyers, through committee or
epresentatives of their own selec
tion, but it is added that "all labor
lisputes should be settled voluntarily
r by arbitration and the award of
vuch board should be final and blnd-
ng on both parties."
Strike Paralysis Condemned.
1t is intolerable," the report says,
"that the transportation service of a
ity should be subject to occasional
aralysis, whether by strikes or loek-
uts."
Other important declarations of the
-eport are:
That public ownership and opera
tion, generally speaking, are unde
sirable unless the results under pri
vate operation prove unsatisfactory,
but the right of the public to own
and operate all public utilities should
bfc recognized and legal obstacles in
the way of its exercise should be re
moved; that extensions into outlying
territory benetlting private property
Uliould be paid for by assessments on
such property in proportion to the
benefits received, and that the cost
of such extensions should . not be
added to the valuation of the railroad
property upon which a fair return Is
to be allowed: and that franchises
chould fix no limit as to the time they
snau run nor tne fares that may be
cnargeu.
LOGGING MEET PLANNED
Congress Opens Kleventh Annual
Session in October.
The Pacific logging congress twill
hold ita 11th annual session in Van
couver, B. C, four days. October 6
1. 8 and 9, according to information
which was sent to this city from
Vancouver by George M. Cornwall,
publisher of the Timberman, who now
is in the northern city conferring
with President Hendry of the con
gress . and arranging the programme
with him. t
The programme this year will con
eist of many and varied addresses by
prominent men in 'the lumbering and
logging industries, as well as show
ing of motion pictures of the use of
trucks, tractors and trailers which are
coming into general use in the big
forests and sawmills of the Pacific
coast.
HARDING FAVORS UNION
(Continued Krora Ftrst Pa.se.)
both willing and able to uphold." This
sort of organization, he said, was in
broad contrast to the council of the
league, whose whole authority would
be founded on force.
The senator also reiterated his be
lief that it -was for American right
primarily ana not to rorm a peace as
soctation that the nation went into
the war.
It is for that same guarantee of
nationality that I stand today." h
continued, "and shall continue to stand
as long as I live. American boys are
not born to be made the sacrifices of
war except when it is clearly and un
mistakably in defense of their coun
try."
Article lO Discussed.
The text of tlu speech follows in
part:
"Let us suppose the senate had rati
Tied the peace treaty containing th
league covenant as submitted to it by
the president m July of last year
Before this day we would have been
called upon to fulfill the obligation
which we had assumed Under articl
10 of the league covenant to preserve
the territorial integrity of Poland as
against "external aggression.'
"The council of the league of na
tions would have reasoned, and rea
soned correctly, that the United States
could furnish the munitions and, if
necessary, the men to withstand the
hordes advancing from Russia far
more easily than could the exhausted
nations jf Eurooe. What would of
necessity have to result? Nothing
necessarily, we are glibly informed,
since only the congress can declare
war, and the congress might reject
the appeal of the executive. But
would the congress do that? Could
the congress do that without staining
Indelibly the honor of the nation?
Repudiation Held Impossible.
"The people would never permit
the repudiation of a debt of honor.
No congress would ever dare make
this nation appear as a welcher, as it
would appear and would be in such an
event before the eyes of the world
"So many things have been done by
the present expiring administration
that no power on earth could induce
me to do, that I cannot even attempt
to recount them. I may remark casual
ly, however, that if I should be elected
president of this just and honorable
republic, I will not empower an as
sistant secretary of the navy to draft
a consution for helpless neighbors
in the West Indies and jam it down
their throats at the point of bay
onets, borne by United States marines.
Xn ill T mint., K rrxv m r r f th
! A-xernHvA to cover with &' veil of
secrecy repeated acts of unwarranted
interference in domestic affairs of
the little republics of the western
hemisphere.
"On the other hand, I will not, or
shall not. as you prefer, submit to any
waong to any American citizen with
respect to either his life or property
by any government. This statement
is made in all solemnity, with enmity
for none and friendship for all. If it
particularly applies to Mexico, the
application has been directed by the
robbery and murder of hundreds
of our own people in that unhappy
country.
Plain Notice Intended.
"It is intended for a plain notice to
every government on the face of the
earth that the entire resources of
this nation are pledged to maintain
the sacredness of American lives and
the just protection of American prop
erties. "There are distinctly two types of
international relationship. One la an
offensive and defensive alliance of
great powers, like that created at
Versailles, to Impose their will upon
the helpless peoples of the world. I
am opposed to such a scheme as that.
I am opposed to the very thought of
our republic becoming a party to such
a great outrage upon peoples who
have as good a right to seek their
political freedom as we had in 1776.
"The other type is a society of free
nations,' or a league of free nations,
animated by considerations of right
and justice, instead of might and self
interest, and not merely proclaimed
an agency in pursuit of peace, but so
organized and so participated In as to
make the actual attainment of peace
a reasonable possibility.
Association Is Favored.
"Such an association I favor with
all my heart.
"This is proposing no. new thing.
This country is already a member of
such a society The Hague tribunal,
which, unlike the league of Versailles,
is still functioning and within a few
weeks will resume its committee ses
sions under the chairmanship of an
American representative.
"It is not uncommon for the advo
cates of the league of Versailles to
contrast unfavorably The Hague tri
bunal upon the ground that the tri
bunal 'lacks teeth.' Very well, then,
let's put 'teeth' into it. If, in the
failed league of Versailles there can
be found machinery which the tri
bunal can use properly and. advan
tageously, by all means let it be appropriated.
I would go even further. I would
take and combine all that is good and
xcise all that is bad from both or
ganizations.
Creation Held Welcome.
T believe humanity would welcome
the creation of an international as
sociation for conference and a world
ourt whose verdicts upon justiciable
questions, this country in common
with all nations would be both wili
ng and able to uphold. The decision
of such a court or the recommenda
tions of such a conference could be
ccepted without sacrificing on our
part or asking any other power to
sacrifice one iota of its nationality.
The democratic nominee has spoken
about America abandoning her asso-
iates in war and deserting the allied
ations in establishing the league of
'ersailles. It has already been aban
doned by Europe," which had gone so
far as to accept It by formal agree
ment in treaty.
Listen to the wise and far-seeing.
ex-British ambassador, who was not
permitted to present his credentials
to our executive. As long, said vis
count Grey, hardly a month ago, as
long as the richest, most powerful, the
greatest , both for population ana
territory, of the civilized countries of
the world stands outside the league.
the league will be unable to fulfil its
destiny. To put it In quite plain
erms, the Americans must be tola
that if they will only join the league
hey can practically name their own
terms.'
Undoubtedly that is the fact.
Viscount tire? Quoted.
"Viscount Grey continues: "The
Americans should be entrusted with
the task of -drafting a reconstruction
scheme.' Then he suggests further
that 'a committee of the senate could
draw up suggestions for the recon
struction of the league.
Frankly, I value that suggestion
very highly. It comprehends substan
tially what I would propose to do If
elected president. I do not mean pre
cisely that. It would be clearly un
wise to undertake specific suggestions
or to attempt to pass upon sugges
tions now. What is In my mind is
the wisdom of calling into real con
ference the ablest and most expert
enced .minds of this country from
whatever walks of life they may be
derived and without regard to party
affiliation to formulate a definite.
practical plan along the lines already
indicated for the consideration of the
controlling foreign jjowers.
The objection that this course
would involve the reconvening of the
entire convention may be regarded as
very slight one. The acceptance of
our proposals by the few principal
nations would undoubtedly be fol
lowed promptly by th acceptance on
the part of the minor members of the
alliance."
Speech Made to Delegation.
The speech was delivered to a dele
gation of the Harding club of In
di&napolis and to a group from Mln
nesota.
Will Ji. Hays, republican national
chairman, and Senator Harry 8. New,
head of the party s speakers' bureau
headed the Indiana delegation and
tonight Mr. Hays issued a statemen
declaring that Senator Harding "cut
an unfaltering way straight through
the tangle of the league of nation
into which the bungling of the dem
ocratic administration has led the
country and into which the pro
gramme of the wtlson-cox alliance
would keep us endlessly."
"Senator Harding has pointed th
path," the statement said. "He is th
masterly leader. He has spoken with
out truculence to prejudice. Hi
voice now leads the statesmanship o
America."

1XGTOX CANDIDATE.
NEW LONDON, N. H, Aug. 28! A
conference 'between representatives of
the United States and Canada to settle
the controversy over pulp wood from
the crown lands of the eastern
Canadian provinces wfes strongly
urged at the convention of forestry
experts and paper manufacturers here
this week. -
Edward Beck of Montreal, secretary
of the Canadian Pulp and Paper asso
ciation, said that the question of re
moving restrictions upon the exporta
tion of pulp wood from the crown
lands of Canada to the United States
was one 'for judicial determination
rather than political agitation.
The conference was held under the
auspices of the Society for the Pro
tection of New Hampshire Forests
and was attended by forestry experts
and" paper makers from the United
States and Canada. Mr. Beck was in
vited to present Canada's side of the
pulp-wood controversy, brought to
notice by the passage in congress of
the UTiderwood .resolution calling for
n American commission to visit
Canada with a view to obtaining the
removal of restrictions on pulp-wood
exports.
Mr. Beck declared that Canada had
no reason to avoid inquiry into tne
quity of its timber laws by any im
partial tribunal. He said it was not
true that the present shortage of
printing paper in the United States
was chargeable to the Canadian tim
ber regulations, but that it was due
to world-wide conditions, aggravated
by the ''inordinate use of paper by
both American and Canadian pub
Ushers." He declared that free ao
cess to Canada's pulp wood would not
give American publishers cheaper or
ore abundant paper, as Had been
claimed.
Preservation Is Necessary.
Mr. Beck asserted that the Canadian
pulp-wood restrictions did not apply
to privately owned lands, from which
more than 1,000.000 cords of pulp
wood were annually exported to the
United States. In addition, he said,
Canada exports nearly 600,000 tons
of duId and about 650,000 tons of
paper to the United States every year,
comprising approximately one -ninth
of the American pulp consumption
and one-third of all the newsprint
paper consumed in or exported from
the United States.
Restrictions on the exports of pulp
wood from the crown lands, he de
clared. were brought about solely by
the desire to conserve the pulp-wood
resources and utilise their products
for the upbuilding of the pulp and
paper industries within tne Canadian
provinces and with no intent to in
urs American industries.
"The real auestion at issue. ne
said, "is not whether this material
shall be available - for the use of
American publishers, but whether the
material cut from these lands shall
go in the form of raw pulp wood to
the United States, or shall be put
through at least one stage of manu
facture in Canada." So far as
Canada's pulp wood is being cut, i
hich percentage of it already was go
ing to the united Estates la ou w
or another.
Little Relief tn Stunt.

the rate of cutting, invoivir.g tne
