U U agon. \ 'x.K H K U .I« Pioneer life In revealed with all Its langers, hardships, suffering, pic turesque simplicity and romatic charm, those who have seen the pic ture declare. The drama Is staged in a huge scale, and It combines mas- ilveness with grandeur and dignity. The story of ‘‘The Covered Wagon” based on Emerson Hough's novel, Is typically American In both theme and treatment. The heroic adven tures of the sturdy pioneers, when assembled wagon trains set out foi Westport for the unchartered wilder ness 2,000 miles away are vlvldl) portrayed. It Is a drama of the mer and women who defied all hardships such as savages, prairie fires, wild animals, flods, heat, cold and hun (ter. In their efforts to settle and build up a mighty empire. With Indomitable spirit they kept their faces toward the setting sun until they reached the promised land. It is likewise a story of the love of the true hearted Mollie Wingate and Will Ranlon, portrayed by Lois Wll- on nnd J. Warren Kerrigan. More han 3.000 people were employed In the making of the picture. Herds of buffalo, cattle and horses were als< utilized, not to mention over a thous and blanket Indians. People ef Neighboring Republic are Becoming More Sportsmanllk. a . a Coneequenoe. I hnd been greatly Impressed with what American sports are doing for young Mexico. American sports un common all over the republic now- basketball, baseball, volley ball, hand ball, tennis aud all the typical Amerl can sports. Even the president has a handball court up at Chapultepec for his eight een-year-old boy to play on. f asked him If he did not feel that these Amerl- can sports were going to teach his peo pie how to “play the game.** In Mexico the minute a man Is de feated for office or the minute that a brother defeats him In debate or wins a girl from him. that Mexican wants to kill hla opponent or start a revolu tion. They have not learned to be whot we Americana call “good aporta,’’ American games are leaching them thia spirit, snya William I Stldger In the Outlook. After I hnd explained what T mean’ he admitted that my Implications nnd deductions were true and that he had manifested hla confidence In the Y. M C. A., which Introduced these sports Into Mexico, by giving thst American Institution a government gift of 2fi,(XK) pesos. "What ar. your person-il sportsT" I asked him. "Hilliard, and poker,” he said, with • smile. S u b s c r ib e N o w Should Freight R ates Be Reduced at the Expense o f Good Service? Editorial in Chicago Tribune August 25. 1923, entitled “Freight Rates and Commod ity Price»:” The head of the Carnegie Insltute nt Pittsburg told a gathering of farmers that If the manufacturers of machinery, clothing, house furnishings and other commodi ties would reduce prices 2 per cent this would reduce the farmer’s expense as much ns a 2 per cent reduction 1 nfreight rates. So would a reduction of 1 per cent in lnlereRt on loans. “The trouble with that proposition is that the freight rates may be reduced— possibly— by political pressure; commodities and Interest not so readily. “But that Is a consideration the farmers will ponder very carefully, If they look to the future. They may be able to force a reduction In freight rates by using their Influence upon the machinery of regulation, but If that reduces the efficiency of transportation the Immediate advantage will be swallowed up sooner or later, prob ably sooner. Regulation, unless It Is constructive, unless in the long run it builds up the railroads, (snot In the farmer’s Interest. As his political leaders do not discuss that much. It is up to the farmer to look It up for himself. Just freight rates should he worked for, but a rate that Is Inadequate to the carrier Is not just to (he farmer, though he may think it until he begins to pay the price of Inadequate service.’’ A railroad rate reduction sufficient to enable a shipper to make a substantial sav ing on a freight bill would. If made effective now, impnlr the earning power of every western railroad and threaten the solvency of some. All that a railroad buys— coal, labor, forest products, steel articles, etc., still range at peak prices, and rates cannot safely be lowered until there is a reduction In these costs, Etghty-elght cents of the railway dollar Is required for wages, fuel, supplies, taxes nnd rentals. A 10 per cent reduction would wipe out all profit and Injure the credit of lines which have nothing saved up for a rainy day. The Government turned the railroads back to their owners in 1920 with an average operating deficit of 145,00,000 a month, which had been paid from the Federal treas ury. Now the railroad? have no such recourse. The increase in railroad freight rate» is less than the increase in other prices. In January. 1923, the average freight rate of the western railroads was only 36 per cent higher than In 1913, while the average wholesale price of all farm products was 42 per cent higher and the average wholesale price of all commodities 56 peV cent higher. Fluctuations In prlees for farm products cannot be laid at the door of the railroad, since between June, 1922, and June 1923, under the same transportation conditions, wheat declined 10 rents a bushel in price and corn Improved 19 cents. The dt pressed condition of the farmer, and particularly the wheat gi wer. has been of great concern to the railroads, as well as to the public, but happily all signs point to a material Improvement. "The estimated Income of the farms of America for 1923 Is a billion dollars in excess of their Incomo In 1922” (Advertisement, The Capper Farm Press, Ch tober 8. 1923). And the last report of the Interstate Commerce Commission says: "Manlfastly, existing rates are no longer Interfering with the free flow of commerce as a whole.” Give Ihe railroads a chance. Don’t lessen thetr usefulness by impairing their earn. Ing power. They are spending more than a billion dollars this year not from earnings hut of new money to put their properties in condition to better serve the public and to prevent car shortages— thia because they believe In the inherent fairness of the American people and Ihelr willingness to pay what good service Is worth. Starved railroads, like starved horses, cannot do good work. It Is axiomatic that compensatory rates with good service are far preferable to cheaper ratee with poor service. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. C. GRAY. Omaha. Nebraska, President.
