In addition, the wage payments of western railroads were given as 193 per cent of their payments in 1916. The tax accounts of western railroads in 1924 were placed at 394 per cent of their tax accounts in 1911, while in the United States as a whole the brief said, the Increase had made the 1924 payments 334 per cent of those of 1911. The receivership of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad was cited. "The situation of other carriers in this district is desperate," the brief proceeded. "In spite of the most rigid economies ' of i operation, they have been faced with a diminishing net railway operating income, while there has been no tendency on the part of governmental authority to reduce the tax burden or be less stringent In respect to required expenditures for safety of operation.

Calling on the American people to fulfil their obligations to the past and to posterity, General John J.

G. Vice President Charles Dawes naked for the people's rededication to the Ideals "which our forefathers died to establish." "Our influence in International affairs has surpassed the most fanciful vision," General Pershing said, "but with this has come an increase in our responsibilities. We must maintain and Improve our Institutions If we full we shall revert to government by force of power. But we shall not fail. The courage of the American people, handed down by our forefathers, is a guarantee. Human liberty is ours to mntlntain by force if need be, and to hand down inviolate to our children's children. Let us then live as Individuals among men and as a people among nations that through our examples nmy be hastened the day when freedom, Justice and peace shall come to dwell among us." Vice President Dawes received from the city of Boston, through Mayor James M. Curley, the presiding officer, a gavel made from the newel post preserved from the original Faneull hall, destroyed by fire in 1761. A roar of laughter, in which Mr. Dawes Joined, went up when Mayor Aurley said that the vice president might find it useful in his dealings with the United States senate. General Pershing received a Blmilar gavel. "I am here, not as an indlvudual but as a' representative of the government of the United States, Mr. Dawes said after the presentation. "I am glad that the greatest living American soldier Is to make an address here, because the atmosphere of Faneull hnll Is militant and full of fight. This has been a great battleground, this country. I wonder if we cannot all rededicate ourselves and resolve to maintain the constitution of. this great republic, to maintain what our forefathers died to establish. - ' $1,500,000; General Urges People to Fulfill Obligations to Nation While Vice President 8peaks on High Ideals able to withstand even for a limited time a further curtailment in their revenues: the facts Instead warrant Increases substantial in their nature."
