There is one “cut’' that’s popular
right now and that’s the rediscount

It’s catching. Why even the Bank
of England has reduced its discount

Charles of Hapsburg ought to have
one pleasant thought about it. If he
had to go glimmering, he went on the
Glowworm.
The War finance Board has also
caught the habit and has reduced Its
Interest rates to farmers. We seem to
be living In a “dropping” period.
“Warts on the body politic” Is what
Woodrow Wilson called those special

the worst of It is that we still have
the warts.
Lloyd George says he is coming to
that Armament conference "In spite
of all." We take it that the "aBT

old London Times.
Our old friend June Adums says
she believes that the time is coming
when women will uvert war. Well,
that nuty be, but who causes most of
the wordy wars these days.
If the newspapers would cut out
all of these Items about bank failures

The least that can be said of Sen
ator Watson’s fiasco in tho Senate is
hat he misrepresents the state of
Georgia. Georgia furnished its full
juota to the army when It was called
to France and Georgia has no fault to

France.

TUMULTY’S BQCK.
The Tumulty story is doing much
to correct many wrong ideas of Wood
row Wilson.
It’s a great story and Tumulty tells
it fn fine fashion, the truth is that
opinions of Woodrow Wilson and his
work given publicity since his retire
ment at the end of his second Pres
idential term are conflicting enough
to leave the impression that he< is rhe
most reverenced and
most admired and the most* contemp
tuously regarded, of men. Ordinarily
such conflict of opinion does- not tub
bornly persist after the lapse of time,
yielding to a pretty generally accept
ed view which furnishes the basis of
the historian’s estimate, but in this
case it is predicted that “storms of
controversy will rage about the his
torical figure of Woodrow Wilson for
years Cos come—it may be centuries.
However} that may be, there is a clash
of contrary views at the present time.
According to some Americans, Wilson
ranks with Washington and Lincoln,
it being evert contended that he was
the greatest of all our Presidents. Ac
cording to others, he accomplished
nothing of any importance, had no
qualities worthy of admiration, and
was distinguished for many abomina
ble characteristics.
It is frequently argued that Wilson
will have no place in history because
he “failed.” Certainly he failed in
health, and he failed in the ratifica
tion o fthe Versailles treaty by the
United States Senate, but if his pro
ject, the League of Nations to prevent
or check wars, fails it will be in spite
of him rather than because of him.
According to a pretty big man down
in South Africa, it was not Wilson but
humanity that failed. And is there
not room for the expectation that hu
manity will eventually triumph in this
connection? In that case the failure
would be but temporary. The real
testing of the practicability or suc
cessful working of so great .a scheme
Is not a matter of months but •of
years. The joining of the League
(“Wilson’s League") by forty-ood na
tions is at least a promising begin
ning.
Nor is Wilson's success or failure
to be measured by the present status
of (he League of Nations, although
it was largely his activities in this
connection that made him a world
llgure. Nc commonplace American
President was the man to whom we
ow§ chiefly the Federal Reserve bank
Ing system; who succeeded in taking
hh country virtually united into the
World war when the fateful plunge
was made; who was the supreme
commander-in-chief of the urmies that
were not once defeated and that never
retreated an inch when In contact
with the enemy; who wagered a great
war calling for unprecedented sums
of money without thus far the least
proof of administrative corrup’ion:
who broke the popular morale of the
enemy countries by his personal ut
terances and leveled nearly every
throne in jFurope by the method of ap
p soa eh to the question of a victorious
armistice.
COST OF TRANSPORTATION.
That the public actually paid about
1655.000.000 less for railroad transpor
tatioh during the tlrst year after the
present freight and passenger rater
were put in effect by the Interstate
Commerce Commission on August 26
irso. than it during the preceding
year while the rale* were lower, hut
the roads were under n government
guaranty, k. shown by the Railway
Age in an article in Us current Issue
analyiing the statistics of railroad op
oration for the twelve months* period
ended August thirty-one. Vi gures
complied by the Bureau of Railway
Be nornlci show that for the year
ended August 31. 1921. the total earn
Ings of the Class 1 roads were $6,045.
218.100. as compared with $5,724,912.
165 for the year before, an increase o!
$320,425,835. or 5.6 per cent. In th
year ended with August 31, 1921, how
ever, the railroads were guaranteed
by the government at the rate of ap
prrxlmately $906,000,000 per yaar. As
the roads actually earned during tha*
period a net operating Incrme of onl>
$25,548.077, the public had to make
up the difference of $878,000,006 fron
taxation. This made the total it paid
in both rates and taxes abktut $6,602

“Total eperating expenses for the
year were $5,161,760,829, a reduction
of $218,876,981 as compared with the
preceding year, or 4.1 per cent. Ex
, penditures for maintenance of way

and for the maintenance of equipment

Although the nfet'Railway operating
income represented Jess than half of
the 6 per cent return contemplated by
the law, the results show that the re
lation between expenses and earnings
was far better than it was in the pre
vicus year, during half of which time
the roads were being operated by the
government and the other half they
were under the six months’ guaranty
provided by the Transportation Act.
The net return earned by the roads
[ tor the year ending August 31, 1921,
wa-j 2.9 per cent on the investment.
Jh:s was $571,342,073 less than the
amount needed to produce a 6 per
cent return, and about $435,000,000
less than the owners would have re
ceived as rental for their properties
if government control! had been con
inued. For no month since the rates
iwere increased has the rate of return
reached a 6 per cent basis, although
;the volume of traffic for the corres
ponding period of any other year.
The net operating income for the
'/ear was, however, greater than it
|was during either 1918 or 1919 while
| ho roads were under federal cbntrol,
tllhough during those years the com
panies were guaranteed against loss.
|The reduction in operating expenses
>f $218,876,981 was made in spite.of
he fact that the increased wages
awarded by the Railroad Labor Board
n 1920 were in effect until July 1,
1921, where was ‘ a reduction of ap
proximately 12 per cent. The reduc
ion in maintenance expenses alone
vVi-.s $225,000,000, which shows how
the greatest savings were made.
