Chance to Breathe ,
'MERIDEN, Conn.i Oct. 26.
8enator William P. Borah of Ida
ho, in a speech tonight, denounced
''arbitrary, and repressive laws
passed during the. war." .
Asserting that' repeal of theso
laws would be "one of the first
tasks -for the republicaji party
when given power," the senator
declared some of the measures
were. ''far more drastic and arbi
' trary than necessary even in time
of war, and are wholly intolerable
in time of peace." .
;"Xaws Must Be Repealed
"Some were plainly In violation
' of the constitution but passed un
der the vicious theory that the
constitution Is suspended in time
of war," he said. ,
"But necessary or unnecessary."
he added, "constitutional or un
constitutional, they, should 'no
longer be permitted to menace
, those rights and privileges which
free and forward-looking peo
ple should at all times enjoy.-Some
of . these laws are relics of 200
years ago and curtail rights as
old as the government itsejf.
"Let us live ' again under the
constitution and not be afraid of
other men's opinions. All the evils
of free speech, a free press and the
right of peaceable assemblage are
not to be compared to evils which
'Inevitably wait upon their denial.
' Laws Burdensome. rU ;
; :'But It is not alone that' these
laws axe unjust and oppressive,
they are expensive and burden
soot to the taxpayer. Literally,
millions of dollars are collected
from the people to "be' paid out in
the maintenance of bureaus and
" unnecessary employes to execute
laws which ought not to be upon
the statute books at all." ' .
"For years' , we have beeji,striv
ing to put business in a .straight
Jacket, to strangle individual init
iative and compel . all the genius
of men to conform to the deaden
ing rules of some bureau. ,. Of late
: we have proposed to go a step
farther and make men think and

"We should give business a

and brains a chance to think, out

and a free press and free speech

Protective policy.
"A prompt return" to a policy
of protecting American products
was promised by the Republican
nominee -in a telegram to Paul A.
Ewert of Joplin. Mo., made pub
lic as a part of his attack on the
Democratic tariff program. He
declared that "disaster'' had been
brought to mining and industrial
interest's through failure to prop
erly protect American products
and that now American agricul
ture was sharing a similar fate.
His comment on the league was
in the course of an informal dis
cussion of a recent interview with
Leon Bourgeois, president of the
league council. The .latter's
views, he said, furnished further
evidence" that the only safei wav
for the United States was " to re

Mr. Harding took it easy, see

His voice, which a ad been affect

provement. During the afternoon a glee

tbe ..nominee and Mrs. Harding
with political Fongs. The sena
tor made a short speech, thank
ing them for the visit and for
their support.
Article : X Nonessential.
The statement of M. Bourgeois
was contained in an Associated
Press dispatch from Brussels. In
it he declared that article1 10 was
"not, in fact, anything more than
the moral foundation of the cove
nant," and added:
"Article ten could be eliminated
without in any way modifying the
effectiveness of the league of na
tions and that it was not consid
ered so important by Europeans
as Americans." '
"This is most illuminating."
said Senator Harding. "We are
told by the great American auth
ority on fhe covenant. President
Wilson. I that article ten is its
heart. Now comes M. Bourgeois,
president of the league council,
and says it is not important.

"He informs us that 'all that is

only mean that,, even If article

EFFICIENCY OF
R. R. DISCUSSED
1 - t .
State Commissions Are Pre
venting Rehabilitation
of Railroads
NEW YORK .Oct. 26. State
railroad commissions which are
holding up? operation of recent
freight rate increases are doing
more than any other agency to
prevent rehabilitation of railroad
properties. George II. Ingalls,
vice president or the New York
Central lines, told an audience
or business men at the TraHic
club of New York, here tonight.
Speaking on the subject of in
creasing efficiency In rail trans
portation. Mr. Ingalls commend
ed the Interstate Commerce com
mission, which, he said, "met the
issue in a broad and constructive
manner and endeavored to grant
the carriers, sufficient increase in
their revenues to enable them to
re-habilitate themselves.
He declared tbat. notwith
standing the fact that state com
missions were represented on the
body which fixed the new rates.
"only 18 of tbem have approved
the new rates without any ex
ceptions; 12 have accepted the
new rates with a variety of ex
ceptions and amendments, all
tending to curtal the carriers'
revenues, and 17 have definitely
refused to grant the new sched
ules.
Rates ln the country, Mr. In
galls asserted, are much less than
abroad, the increases in the
I'nited States having amounted to
67 per cent since 1914. while in
creases in foreign countries have
ranged during the same period
from 114 per cent in the Lnited
Kingdom to 390 per cent In Aus
tria. !
Three marks have been set up
railroad traffic men as tbe effi
ciency goal to be attained, Mr
Ingalls said. They are:
"To Increase the average
freight car mileage to 30 miles
per day;
"To increase the average load
per freight car to not less ,than
30 tons; 1
"To reduce th? passage of 'bad
order cars to not more than 4
per cent of the total.
"Each one of these." he said,
"would constitute a great stride
toward giving the nation that
adequate transportation service j
without which our commerce and
industries cannot expand produc
tion and general prosperity made
to prevail."
Mrj. Ingalls said it was a good
omen that already in 1920, past
transportation records have beea
broken. Interstate commerce
commission figures, he said, show
that last July the railroads of
the country recovered 40,232 mil
lion ton miles, "far the largest
month's operation since April.
1916, and probably the greatest
in the history of railroads."
"The same statistics," he add
ed, "show that despite the 'out
law' railroad strikes which re
stricted operation in April and
May. more freight was handled
in the first seven months of this
year . than In tbe same period of
any preceding year and that 1920
as a whole will show a record of
freight service by the railroads
exceeding any earlier year, in his
tory." MTIIDKK J ('ROUS SETI.KI.

The candidate, reiterating that

bs taken to kep wars mm be

Attacks Harding
Governor Cox also continued
his attack upon Senator Harding
as a "conspirator" against tb3
league by virtue of his signature
to tbe "round robin."
"I think you will agree. he
said, "that a conspiracy was
formed ln the senate to strangle
the league of nations to death.
"Now we are asked to upset
the conspiracy and the senatorial
crowd purposes and the official

"Continuied American prosper

Reverting, to the Mexican ques

"I am convinced that the peo-.

STRIKE CALL
Wheat Growers Association
Urge Producers lo Hold
for $3 Grain
KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Oct. 26.
Whether fareiers or tbe southwest
are obeying a ''strike call." issued
recently by the. Wheat Growers
association. In the form of a pro
clamation canicr upon its mero
fcers In several states to withhold
their wheat from the market until
a basic price 'of S3 a buahel was
reached, could not be ascertained
here tonight.
Reports from some grain mar
ket centers today attributed de
creases In the wheat supply re
reived and an increase ia price
to the proclamation. No wide
spread curtailment of wheat of
ferings was reflected today In the,
grain markets of the southwest,
grain men said.
J. C. Mohler. secretary of the
Kansas board of agriculture, to
night declared there was no far
mers "strike" In that state and
said that probably only a minor
ity of the grain gyowers in Kan
sas would back the movement.
On the other band. W. II. Mc
Grecvy of Wichita. Kas.. secre
tary of tbe Wheat Growers asso
ciation, declared the "rtrlke was
in effect and that the farmers are
ln the ficht to stay.
Wheat will go to $2 a bushel
within 90 days, due to the rffusat
of the asftoclaton members to ell.
the secretary predicted, prior to
receipt of news tbat the market in
Chicago had stiffened today, due
to the reported falling off in de
liveries. Mr. McGreevy 'stated
that he exjected no increase for
30 day, by which tfme the farm
ers will have made their strike
felt. Sixty days more will see the
goal of 3 wheat attained, he raid.
The association proclamation re
questing tbat no more wheat be
sold until the price went to thre
dollars went into effect Iat night.
Confidence that practically th en
tire membership of the association
would remain firm in in the de
cision not to sell
by th? secretary.
