Silence of Industrial Leaders on

VALUE OF ORGANIZATION
POINTED OUT BY HOOVER
Ily CLINTON W. OILHERT
Ptaff Correspondent Ienln rulillc. Irtler
Corvrtoht, litt, bv rubllfl Ltdocr Compnnj
Washington, Sept. 1. Secretary
Hoover put his fingor upon one of the
sources of weakness when he told the
Detroit manufacturers that the busi
ness Interests of the country were not
sufficiently organized and did not exert
sufficient influence upon policies here.
It is nn old charge that this country,
specially under a Republican Admin
iteration, IS Governed by big business.
Hut where is big business today? A
group of farmer representatives In Con
gress has done more to shape the course
of legislation than have either the gen
eral business interests of the countty,
the organization of the Republican
Party or the Executive who Is the effec
tive head of the party.
A banker in Now York said to me
the other day. "The opposition of busi
ness men to the Fordney tariff Is enor
mous. If that bill becomes a law it,
will delay industrial recovery by four,
or five years." Ho Is a Republican !
banker. How mucli lias that sentiment
made itself felt In Washington? Hardb
at all.
No Auto Tariff De-Mred
A man who has just been m troit
tells me that tho automobile m ifae
turcrs thero do not want n tariff upon
their products nor Indeed any kind of
tariff which will check the cxehnngc of
foreign manufactures In this country
for American nutomobiles to be taken
abroad. Have the automobile manufac
turers said anything about their doubts
regarding the 30 per cent duty Mr.
Fordney has generously given them-' N .1
so loudly that It could be heard in
Washington.
A strange modesty porvndes Amer
ican business which Is not shared by
the American fanner. You ml; the
Detroit nutoinobilo manufacturer why
he does not object to the duty on his
product and In general to any duties
which will lessen the prospects of sales
abroad for his product and he replies:
"Well, high tariffs are the Republican
policy nnd perhaps the duty will do no
harm."
Wisdom must reside somewhere, ami
the opinion among tho IJetro't menu
facturcrs seems to be that :irhaiw after
nil it resides in Washing -n. rt may
not look as if it did, but perhaps It
may, after all. nusincss llf-olf , is at
a crossing of the roads. It has hith
erto lived upon the American market.
It is now looking toward the foreign
market. It hesitate. It Is ii"t sure.
Perhaps after nil wisdom resides in
Washington.
Leave It to (lio Part
Whatever may be thought of the
Fordney tariff, there ts a long lii of
things in 'Which tho business interests
of the country, if they were n n
sc'ious of their alms as nre tue fi mi
ers. might have made tlienuche-' f It,
There is taxation. When it ns
proposed to consider the tariff n fore
taxation, why were not (he lni-.inews
interests of the country lienrd from
effectively.' Tho same mmd-M that
prevents the Detroit autonomic man
ufacturer from saying unything . bout
Mr. Fordney 's .SO per cent ilut kept
business In general, big or Utile, from
mying anything effective about the
order in which the tariff and the tax
bills should go on the calendar It
was the Republican Party's business.
Perhaps tho Republican Partv know
best.
The Republican Party is nippo-ed to
speak generally for the business in
terests of the countrv. nut it dues so
very imperfectly. Half nf it obeys
rather implicitly the farming interests
of the country. Tho important Mr.
Fordney obeys nothing except tradition.
Tho House does uot obey its leader
nnd tho Senate does not obey Its leader.
And executive guidance of C01 cress in
this confused .situation is until 1 lly less
effective than it was in the lays of
AVIlson und Roosevelt.
Taxation Drifting
The situation here with respect to
taxation Is drifting largely because
there is not nny organized nnd effective
(.entiment among business men with re
gard to it. The Kmoot bill proposing
a simplification of taxes nnd the adop
tion of a sales tax Is largely personal.
The Utah Senator has convictions on
taxation thnt are above expediency. No
one else has.
Ituslncss generally contents itself
with' the purely negativo position thnt
there shnll be no excess prolltn tax.
The organized fanners have a strong
negative lisltioii thnt there shall be
no new tax that will add to their
burdens. The politicians have a negative
position that no tax shall fall on iniuiy
voters so that they shall notin It. Uut
of these three negatives the task is to
make a positive and Mr. II ht iultu
naturally calls on the busiin man to
say something loud enough ( ue Ik aid.

11 score of lawyers, togctner with at

delays occurred when the accused were
called to plead to charges of having vio

Failure of John Roberts, a Negro
bartender at the Killarne.v Hotel, to re

the bar of the court and explained thnt
he had made every effort to respond, but
could not get through tho crowll. The
Court accepted the explanation, and
Roberts then entered a plea of not
guilty.
Judge Ingersoll nnnounced that sen
tences would be Imposed next Tuesday
upon all defendants who pleaded guiltyi
or non vult. and thnt the trials of all
accused who ideaded not guilty would
also he held on that date.
When the cn'o of John Mnlla was

as to the lossibllities of hnwng sentence
defended until a decision had been
hnnded down hy the higher courta on
writs of certiorari. He said there might
be a question of not having tines re
funded In the event ot the nppullnut
winning tho case. The Court refused to
entertain 11 motion for ft jury trial,
which-the attorney claimed under the
old law that stamped liquor selling
without license as a misdemeanor.

Reserve Expansion and Exorbi
tant Depreciation Accounts
Attributed to Western Road3
INTERSTATE BOARD HEARING
By tho AvHH-lated Prc
Wnshlngfoii. Aug. 31. Western rail
roads, by expansion of reserve accounts
nnd the setting up of exorbitant de
preciation charges ngninst their prop
erties, have concealed profit amount
ing to nenrly .-it200.000.000. Clyde M.
Reed, chairman of the Knnsas Public
Ftllltles Commission nnd spokesman
for the Western grain men In ,'helr
nttempts to get reduced railroad rates,
testified today before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
On the basis of an nnnlysls of the
accounting returns of nineteen railroads
in the West, operating S0.O."." mile of
track, or OS per cent of the mileage
of the Western district. Mr. Reed ns
serted thnt their profits during 1020.
which, he said, generally had been con
sidered insufficient to meet the Govern
ment guarantee of their earning power.
In fact had been the greatest in their
history.
Declares Public la Misled
He charged that propaganda in favor
of maintenance of transportation rates
had misled not only public opinion, but
also the official bodies charged with the
duties of regulating rates.
Tho profits of thp nineteen railroads,
as shown hv their official reports, were
.?0S7,8:t4,-170 in 1020, Mr. Reed said,
while in 1015, the best year previously
recorded he added, they amounted to
9.128.717.753. In addition to thlH the
roads held on December 31, 1020, he
continued, $20,000.000 ns a reserve for
"accrued depreciation of equipment."
In 1 1'll, the total reserve so held was
?I4J.004,.';02. he said, adding that the
roads in 1020 had added to the fund
JMi'.OOO.OOO. which was carried as
"operating expenditure. "
A further example, be said, was an
"operating reserve account." which (
11 iiiiiuiiieu u 0i. i 1 1 ,'t-l.l ill 111. 11. wane
ill linn the fund was. $3.733.fiSl.
These amounts were set nside from
railroad earnings. Mr, Reed said, not
withstanding thnt the normal expendi
tures were made upon maintenance of
equipment nnd roadbed.
No Failure of Maintenance
Producing statistics as to the amount
of work done, he asserted that there
had been no failure to provide usual
maintenance.
Among the roads included in the sum
mary were the Atchison. Tonekn and
imn re, me i nicajo and icocK Isinnil.
the (Jreat Northern, the Minneapolis
and St. Louis, the Chicago, Burlington
Oil'1 Qnlnc-y and the Chicago and Great
Western,,
The compilation. Mr. Reed said. cmiM
U considered as indicative of the con
ditions prevailing on the 32 per cent of
Western mileage left out. It demon
strated, he added, that the roads were
nnipiy aoie to put into eitect the de.
creased rates on grain and bay. which
representatives of twenty Western
States are asking.

Harding Sees Mingo Fight
Due to Misunderstanding
WashinRton, Sept. 1. (By A.
P.) Referring to the situation in
the Weat Virginia coal fields,
President Harding in his speech
before the War College today
said:
"We ought not have a conflict
like Miat which is going on in
West Virginia. It is due to lack
of understanding."
Declaring thnt through 4000 years of (
i ngan iuior.v anu mni years or v,nns-
tlan civilization, the world only lately
had come to a civilized state of arni'ij
wnrfarc. the President reiterated Hint
he thought it "perfectly futile to think
there never ngaln may be armed con
flict." I "We of America, without uniieccs-
I sarv honstinir." he f.nntfnneil -'linve
nnv nation
The President declared "the trouble
with the world today is thai there are
too many theorists who know nothing
of actualities." Whoever, he added,
brings practical experience into piny
with theory will make a real contribu
tion to prepress.
The President was accompanied to
the War College by Secretary Weeks
and General Pershing, Chief nf Stan,
each of whom made a brief address.
