Increase Necessary Due

WASHINGTON.— (AP) — The
railroads of the United States to
day presented to the Inteistate
Commerce commission their peti
tion for a 15 percent increase in
freight rates.as a means of meet.
ing the emergency caused by the
drastic decline in operating reve.
nues.
Last week the executives of
eastern, western and southern
roads, meeting in New York city,
finally decided to request ' the
blanket increased designed to
vield annually $400,000,000 in ad
ditional gross income.
As evidence of their desire for
assistance without undue delay,
the carriers recommended that the
commission’s investigatica of
their applcation be of a “limited
character”’ for the purpose of de
termining whether the new sched
ules should be :allowed to become
effective without the 90 day sus
pension usually ordered.” when
rate revisions are made,
Even if this procedure is fol
lowed, it is unofficially pointed

ings can be compleied and a de
cision reached.
Serious Emergency
The brief, asserting that the
roads were “confronted with an
emergency threatening serious
impairment of their financial re
sources and their capacity to as
sure the public a continuance of
efficient and adeguate service,”
said the ~ increased revenues
‘wonld yield a yearly railway net
operating income equal to léss
‘than 4 percent of the value of
their %figerty. The- fair return
sreseribhed by ‘law is 445 peércent,
but during the first four months
of this year, the application said,
the return had fallen to an an
nual bhasis of 2.24 percent for the
class of carriers. In 1930 it was
3.564 percent. Earnings of .. the
Class 1 roads since 1921 were said
to have dropped about $2,575,000,-
000 below the rate of return on
capital authorized by law.
The brief emphasized the dan
ger of an impaired credit posi
tion and its effect on railroad se
curities, especially bonds. If the
roads were getting a fair return,
it said, “railway securities which
are now appropriate for insurance.
'savings banks and trust invest.
ments would continue to maintain
Ithat status.”
Legislator Would
Make Divorce Easy
To Get in Georgia
ELLIJAY, Ga.—|(#)— Watkins
Edwards, state representative cf
Gilmer county said today that he
would favor easier divorce laws in
this state, i
“] am in favor of legislation
that will permit a person to file
suit for divorce in Georgia after
having resided in Q@eorgia three
months instead of twelve months
as tnder the existing law,” he
said.
“And I think one verdict by a
jury should be all that is neces
sary to obtain a divorce, instead
of the two concurrent verdicts at
different terms of the court, as
now exists.”

It was a year ago, today, that
‘President Hoover signed the bill

18 months. Two days earlier he

the statement:
-~ “No tariff bill has ever been
lenacted or ever will be enacted
under the present system that
will be perfect. . . . It is bound to
rontain some inequalities And ine
‘quitable compromises. There are
itßms upon which duties will
pflove too high and others upon

' Bimultaneously, Jouett Shouse,
cHairman of the Democratic na

fc imed the new act “the issue"
intthe 1930 congressional race.
[ i Made Gains
~ In the congressional race, now
history. Democrats reduced a
large Republican house majority
to a margin that leavgs control
of the next congress in doubt.
Marking the anniversary of the
gigning of the bill, Shouse de
clareed today that the President
has “defatlted on his promise to
remedy the inequities of the
ghastly measure” through the
flexible tariff provisions,
. “The same cqmpelling influence

OVILIZATION OF
TOMCRROW TOPIG
OF BACCALAUREATE
Dr. Duggan Predicts Many
Changes in Life
Habits to Come
By JACK . FLATAU
The scientific and material con
tributions of the West to human
ity will be the basis for gocial
organizatigns everywhere in the
fyture, according to Dr. Stephen
P. Duggan, director of the Insti
tute -of International Education
and radio speaker, today in the
baccalaureate address at! the Uni
versity of Georgia. -
“I am econsidering the elements,
if there are any,” Dr. Duggan
pegan, “and I think there are,
which will appear tomerrow in
all civiiizations, of the East and
the West, of the white man and
the colored man, of the so-called
backward and of the progressive
nations. This presupposes an ele
ment of prophesy probably the
most uncertait pastime in which
man can engage. Nevertheless, I
do think that one can state,
though with considerable hesita
tion, a few trends that are com
paratively certain,”
Changes Life
Science of the West has already
changed life throughout the
world. Despite the spiritual ob
jections raised by certain sects
various sections of the world, the
leaders of these sects are not be
neath using machines them
selves.,
“If the chief contribution of
the West, science and its mate
rial produgcts, will occupy a great
er place in the civilization of
tomorrow, the chief contribution
of the Kast, religion, at least in
its institutional forms, i.e., eccles
fasticism, will have a lesser
place! All the great religions . . .
lave originated in the Hast. But
the abandoned temples in China,
the abolition of the Caliphate in
Turkey, the revolt against relig
ious sanctions to degrading prac
tices in India, are all evidences
of what is taking place in tho
homelands of ‘religious origins.
... Certainly the church has
nowhere the influence over men’s
lives it had a generation ago.
. . . Some interest in the prob.
lem of human origin and human
destiny is basic in personality.
The religious element in life will
si-vive in the future as it always
L on the past but it will take a
different form of expression than
the church of today.” .
Women in the future, Dr, Dug.
gan said, would find a freedom
that is even rare in America. Only
recently have women gained any
amount of emancipation and that
liberation is spreading with re.
mariable rapidity throughout the
entire world.
Continue Decline
“The civilization of tomorrow
will probably- continue to see a
decline in the prestige of the
white man. Up to the world war
