5 ear's rail operations have de-
velepeil the need of several ether
cliuiiges In lnui, the (ommlsslen snid.
It urged t'nngret te amend the Inter
state Commerce act te provide for the
punishment of any person "offering or
giving te nn empleye of u carrier sub
ject te the act any money or thing et cording te figures tent te Congress te
et railroad empleyes, the commission
said :
"As a result of the inadequacy of
the car supply and of railroad transpor
tation facilities gcueralty during the
last year, a practice has grown up
among shippers of bribing operating em em
peoyes of rullreud companies in order
te obtain tranportfttlen services. The
demoralizing effects of this practice are
far-reaching. Bribery of this character
In manj Instances cannot be directly
nnd effectively reached under existing
laws "
On the subject of equipment supply,
the commission declared that while the
shortage could be minimized by car con
servatien and increased efficiency, the
only permanent solution was substantial
additions te equipment.
Despite the shortage of equipment the
commission showed that the volume of
freight carried during the flrst seven
months of 11IZ0 exceeded by 17.1 per
cent trie freight traffic for the cerre
spendlng period in 11)10, Freight traffic
as a whole for the last seven months
also was said by the commission te be
In excess of that of the entire year of
lUllt
While the traffic has increased, the
commission's figures show, the net
operating Income has sufTcred a con
tinuous decline since 1017, The com
mission attributed this te heavier main
tenance costs In which war taxation
figured.
The commission's accident table dis
closes that (WILT persons were killed by
trains or in train-service accidents
during the year of 1010. Of these, 1784,
or mere than 27 per cent, met death In
grade-crossing accidents.

speahlng at the meeting of the As
sociation of Life Insurance Presidents.
"Our immediate problem." Air.
Longworth said after nn analysis of the
government's fiscal situation, "Is the
revision and modification and simplifi
cation of present law, and the substitu
tion of fair and proper taxes for the
present taxes which, te my mind, m in
many respects unfair and improper.
The speaker predicted Congress would
lice In the neighborhood of $1,000,000,
000 from estimates aggregating mere
than $4,000,000,000 presented by the
executive departments. That would net
permit, however, he added, an general
reduction in taxes, and Congress faced
the task of finding new sources of rev
enue as substitutes for existing taxes
which should be abandoned or modified.
Customs receipts, Mr. Longwertli
nld, were tee low, but despite a firm
conviction of the Roundness of a pro
tective tariff policy he added that lie
did net consider that n general tnrlft
revision te increase duties could be
undertaken In the present disturbed
state of the world. It would be Impos Impes
sible te get reliable figures as te relative
costs of production at home and abroad
en which te found such legislation, lie
The excess profits tax was described
by the speaker an "essentially a tax en
brains and ability and efficiency of man
agement," which ought te dc repvaivu
"Dut the aituatlen is, and we might
ns well frankly face it," he continued,
"that it cannot be repealed unless
some ether tax la substituted for it
that wilt raise approximately the (.ame
amount of money'
Twe such substitutes, and enlj two,
Mr. Longworth said, were under com
mittee dlscuwden a Rales tax or a tax
en the undistributed pronto of corpora
tions. .
"It Is proposed," Mr. Iwgwnrth
saiti. te imoese a tax or. aDeut va n
cent en the difference between what a
corporation actually earns nnd what It
distributes te Its stockholders,"
In opening the convention Chairman
Fred A. Hewland, of Montpelier, Yt.,
said that the volume of life Insurance
Ih force In American companies far
exceeda thnt in all ether companies of
all ether countries. "It may fairly
be claimed," he said, "that sociolog
ically life Insurance represents the
greatest contribution that the genius
and enterprise of America have thus
far made te1 the civilizing forces of the
world, and Its possibilities are limit limit
less." Haley Kiske, president of the Metro
