President Livingston Par rand, of Cornell University, citing the
8copes Tennessee evolution case, warned against the loss of American
liberty through "primitive and Ignorant Intolerance." John Hertz, of
Chicago, president of the National Association of Taxi Owners, said at
tho Atlantic City convention that single taxi drivers are more satisfac
tory than married men. Julius Kxuttschnltt, one of the best known
veteran rail chiefs In the country, died In New York of heart attack.
Governor Jackson, of Indiana, was the seventeenth State Executive to

Tobacco Crop May Be Large
For 1925 tobacco farmers have expressed an intention to plant
10 per cent more acreage than in 1924, according1 to the observers
for the Sears-Koebuck Agricultural Index for July. An average
yield on such an acreage would mean the third largest crop on record.
At present, however, growth is behind nnd the stands are irregular.
Prices for some types of tobacco are higher than a year ago, the
Foundation finds, while others are lower. Burley prices have de
clined as a result of good yields in previous years and large ac
cumulations. The last crop of export types was small and stocks
have been sold at better prices as a result of crop damage last
year, in spite of some decline in demand. Since the two-cent decline
in the general tobacco market a year ago, prices have held remark
ably steady.

ESPEF PLANS
FOR NEW LINES
ABOUT KLAMATH
Klamath Falls, Or., July 31
(AP) Plans for the development
of transportation facilities by the
Southern Pacific company in
Klamath Kalis, southern Oregon
and northern California were de
tailed by Paul Shoup executive
vice-president, in a statement ad
dressed to the chamber of com
merce, made public here,
Mr. Shoup's statement follows:
"First, the Southern Pacific has
acquired subject to approval of the
intorstato comijierco commission
an Interest in the Strahorn rail
road (the Oregon, California and
Eastern) and application has been
made to extend this road to a point
on the Williamson river, and also
to Silver Lake; and eastward to
Lakovlew, Ore. The Southern Pa
cific has made application to the
Interstate commerce commission
for authority to extend its line
southward through the Malin and
Merrill territory forty miles to Cor
nell, Cal. The Southern Pacific
which has acquired all the common
stock of the Nevada-California-Oregon
railway is subject to the ap
proval of the interstate commerce
commission has to broad-gauge the
entire line into Lakeview.
Acquire Stvnhorii Line
Second the Strahorn line (the
O. C. and E.)) if the taking over
of an interest in this system Is ap
proved by the commission, will
within six months after their ap
proval, be made part and parcel of
the Southern Pacific system so far
as rate making is concerned; Mr.
Strahorn having concurred this
plan.
"Third, through the applications
made and such othor applications
as are necessary the interstate
commerce commission will be ask
ed for authority to crente a line
through from Klamath Falls to
connect with the Central Pacific,
giving a route via Ogden that will
be reasonably direct and avoid
the present longer haul through
Weed; and upon approval of the
commission we will promptly un
dertake the construction of this
line and build It within the time
sot by the commission.
"Our study .of the territory to
be served, construction costs, and
operating conditions are not yet
complete, but we will complete
these Investigations within rea
sonable time and upon their com
pletion wilt announce the route to
tho east to be taken to connect
with the Central Pacific.
No Cut Off Planned
"Fourth, we have been asked
whether or not there is any pros
pect that a cut-off between the
Natron line and the Strahorn line
at Williamson river would be con
structed In the event we took over
the Strahorn line, thereby placing
Klamath Falls off the direct thru
route from Ogden to the enst via
the Central Pacific. It has not at
any time been given any consid
eration. "In fact, the suggestion did not
come from us nor do we know who
suggested such a route.
"Fifth, if our applications are
approved we will locate our ter
minal for thu district at Klamath
Falls. This Involves a very consid
erable payroll at Klamath Falls
which will be Increased aa our traf
fic grows. This terminal would be
located within six or eight miles
of the center of the city. V wish
to get as close in as mny be prac
ticable, but It is impossible at this
time to name a more specific loca
tion.
"Alt these plans and promises
are ns definite ns we can make
them Just at this time and are, of
course, predicted upon the assump
tion that our applications are ap
proved by the commission, without
destructive competition and the
support of Klamath Falls for our
program Is approved.
"Supplementing , the foregoing
statement of our work as planned
it will be noted that not only will
Klamath Falls become a consider
able railroad center but that
through our lines will be able to
reach substantially all of the mar
kets of the United States for its
products with direct service. Lo
cally, It will be connected with all
Its tributary regions where railway
service can be Justified. It will be
on a mnin trunk line between north
Pacific const points and California
