THE STAGGERING BILL FOR
WASTE AND INEFFICIENCY
An increase of forty per cent in
freight rates comes very near being a
national calamity. The effect will be
to cause the high cost of living to
mount still higher, for the added cost
of freight will be tacked on to the
price of every necessity of life. It
will seriously interfere with many in
dustries. Many commodities cannot
profitably be shipped at the higher
rate which could be carried at the low
er. Fuel and raw materials will be
heavily increased in cost.
Yet it must be remembered that the
new freight rates will not be higher,
value of the dollar considered, than the
old rates of the hundred-cent dollar
days. It should be recalled, too, that
the railways are still staggering under
the burdens of increased Cost and de
creased deficiency imposed during the
period of governmental operation,
the government and roads deficits
could be met out of the public treasury
and were so met. Now the money has
to come from the public to pay operat
ing costs and fixed charges. The rates
fixed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission were based upon the
showing of necessity made by the rail
roads.
A billion and a half more revenue
for the -railways means more than a
dollar a week added to the cost of
living for every family in the United
States,—fifteen dollars a year for each
individual, to be exact. This is half
as much money as it took to run the
railways of the country before the
days* of the new freedom,—back in the
days of McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft.
In other words in those days three
billion dollars paid the total cost of
operation, maintenance, equipment,
taxes, interest on debt, dividends on
stock, besides all sums transferred to
surplus account.
Now the railway wage item alone
totals four billion dollars a year, or
one billion more than the total cost
of running the railways, maintenance
of way and equipment and all fixed
charges four years ago. The cost of
fuel has increased several hundred
mlilion dollars a year. Other items of
equipment have similarly risen in
price.
Six hundred million dollars of the
billion and a half granted the railways
will go into increased wages as alot
ted by the government board. The re
mainder will go into other increased
costs of construction and operation.
The railroads of the country are near
to a condition of physical and finan
cial wreck.
The bill the people of this country
have had to pay for inflation of the
currency, public extravagance and mis
management and the deliberate break
down of the disposition of the people
to render a dollar’s worth of service
or value, for the dollar, so industrious
ly fostered by the new freedom poli
ticians, is of staggering immensity.
The people know what a political party
has, by its management of govern
mental affairs, set the pace in waste
and demoralization and they are get
ting ready for a thorough house clean
ing in November.
HE LAUGHS BEST HERE WHO
LAUGHS AFTER WHILE
Administrations organs are crowing
loudly over the defeat of Senator
Gore for renomination in Oklahoma
by Representative Scott P. Ferris,
Wilsonian Democrat and champion of
the League of Nations covenant just
as it was brought home from Paris
without the dotting of an “i” or the
crossing of a “t.”
It might be well for these subser
vient publications to wait and see
what happens in Oklahoma as the re
sult of the defeat of Gore and the
nomination of Ferris. Some indica
tion of the sentiment existing in a
special congressional election in the
Oklahoma City congressional district
last fall, when a district hedvily Dem
ocratic was carried on the league is
sue by J. W. Harreld, the very Re
publican who was nominated for Uni
ted States senator in the Oklahoma
primaries against Representative Fer
ris.
If Senator Gore had been renomi
nated the hard boiled, rubber-stamp
Democrats of the Ferris following
would have fallen in line for the nom
inee. But the Gore Democrats of
Oklahoma, all of them opposed to the
unamended league of Nations cove
nant, and numbering, as shown by the
returns, nearly half of the member
ship of the party in the state, feel
that their leader has been unjustly
“turned down” merely for the display
of manly independence, merely for
standing up for the preserved inde
pendence of his own country.
What the defeat of Senator Gore
does is to add Oklahoma to the list
of states, hitherto Democratic, which
in all probability will elect a Repub
can senator this fall. This is an in
dicated gain of one seat in the senate
that gives Republicans as much sat
isfaction as the repudiation of Sena
ator Gore gives, for the moment, that
element of the Democratic party
which is ready to follow Mr. Wilson
anywhere he leads, even if (hat be
into the shambles of European poli
tics, diplomacy and war.
The opportunity now lies clearly be
fore Oklahoma Republicans to carry
the state, incidentally picking up two
or three more members of the house.
It is their duty, as it is the duty of
Republicans in every state where
there is hope of Republican victory,
to go into the fight to win, burying
factional differences for the sake of
the common cause. Oklahoma is too
thoroughly American a state to be
represented in the United States sen
ate by any politician who is willing
to trade the birthright of American
ism for a mess of European pottage;
who is willing to sacrifice the rights,
interests and ideals of America to the
demands either of bolshevik or finan
cial internationalism.

MABEL NORMAND LAST
APPEARANCE TONIGHT;
JACK PICKFORD SUNDAY
The story of “When Doctors Disa
gree” is one of the most original and
different ever screened. From the
first reel to the last it’s a continuous
round of laughs, with a lot of novel
and new situations that lift it out of
the ordinary farce comedy. Mabel
Normand’s art as commediene is too
well known to need comment. She is
at her best in this picture, which is
showing again tonight at the Empress.
“Bill Apperson’s Boy,” as played by
Jack Pickford at the Empress Sun
day night, is full of pep, punch and
pathos; it is the essence of action,
drama, romance, fights and feuds. He
couldn't tollerate another woman in
his dead mother’s place, and so he
went away. It is a tense epic of the
“second wife” problem. There is a
pretty mountain .romance running
through the plays. Circumstantial
evidence made the boy a burglar in
his sweetheart’s home. She defended
him, but the stigma remained, and
under the strict mountain code she
would not marry him. A year passed,
which developed the boy into a man
who returned, fought for his own, and
won.
A play in which the interest never
lags, and in which the star is sup
ported by a wonderful array of typi
cal mountaineer characters who com
bine pathos with humor in a manner
wholly irresistable.
JAGS ON INCREASE IN
ENGLAND AND WALES
LONDON, Sept. 4 (by Associated
Press).—Convictions for drunkenness
in England and Wales in 1919 was
nearly double the figure for 1918.
The total was 57,948 as compared
with 29,075, according to an official
report just issued. Greater London
and Northern England accounted for
93 per cent of the total.
Among some of the reasons given
for the increase are that there are
more men at home and fewer of them
in kahki, more policemen and those
less overworked available for street
duty, more hours for drinking and
stronger liquor.
