There Is a theory given widespread credence that i community may well be Judged lta newspaper. We subscribe tc that theory and gladly admit tha! a can be no better generally than the community in which it operates.

Any standards of excellence which the Times Herald might attain are only made possible as a result of the cooperation extended this newspaper by its advertiser and readers and residents of this territory. That cooperation is genuinely appreciated Too, there will be no inclination to rest on our laurels. We take what we believe to be justified pride in recent honors won. But that is on past performance. Extensive credit is due no one individual, but to every member of the force as a group.

And It will be the sole aim of this group to go right on producing the best papers possible for this community, regardless of journalistic contests. EDITORIAL WE TAKE A BOW The Times Herald quite naturally is proud of having been selected for an honor at the winter of the Inland Daily Press association, held the first part of this week in Chicago. This newspaper was cited for honorable mention among papers with circulations up to 5,000 in the seventh annual typography contest sponsored by the Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism. for typographical excellence are made each year to association newspapers by Sigma Delta Chi, national professional jour- tftlis 'm fraternity.

As I See It By Westbrook Pegler (Copyright, HMO, King Fratnrr-i Sjnillrnltl Throughout his career in the cabinet, there were many Americans who thought that the title of Honest Harold, bestowed on Mr. Ickes with sarcastic intent, was a gross exaggeration. Originally it referred to his suspicious nature which in- stinctively examined the mo- tives of others. "Honest Ha ll, 1940, Ickes had either changed Ids opinion of Ed Kelly or was stooping to quor. At the height of that stupendously sordid brawl which nominated Mr.

Roosevelt for his third tortn and Henry boos, fdr his first In any elective office, Ickes'was caught in flagrant association with the man he had so recently and ardently despised.

Credit for making the report belongs fully to Senator Burton K.

Wheeler of Montana, who asked the Jtareau of tho Budget to investigate irregularities reported to him on freight rates being charged the War Department for hauling war supplies. In brief, the report points up four principal methods through which the railroads were able to set excessive rates on government freight. 1. As a large part of the traffic was between new shipping points, war plants and bases, there were nd established rate schedules. In calculating new rates, the railroad rate makers arbitrarily fixed $hem higher than they should have been for hauling commercial Jgrelght comparable distances.

Aa much of the war material was classified as new landing craft, landing mats, rockets, radar and combat vehicles, tariffs were established. In many cases it is reported that these new rates were higher than comparable commercial 'freight rates on barges, explosives, radios or automobiles and trucks. in many of these new rates, the rialroads were able to put what amounted to 6 per cent Increases over established rates. ChU was done through what are known as "Ex Parte 148 The government was frequently deprived of reductions in freight due it by law from the so-called "land-grant" principally roads Of the west which were given big grants of public td as a reward for building their lines.

Store More Poultry Meat DES MOINES, I and city residents can help Iowa farmers cull their poultry flocks by eating and storing chicken, W. D. Termohlen, former Iowan said yesterday. Termohlen, acting director of the poultry branch of the Production and Marketing Administration, addressed a meeting of thc Iowa Poultry and Allied Industries council concerning a government order to reduce farm poultry flocks. He told the group that if farmers could find a ready market for their "loafer" hens and pullets, they would be willing lo reduce their flocks in compliance with the 16 per cent reduction ordered by the government for 1946 over 1945.

The government thus automatically gives you a 10 per cent deduction. But if your deductions actually were more than 10 per cent of income, use the 1040 long-form. Form 1040 is called the short- fice, but not the public eye and ear, self-styled a grasping fellow and with no dissenting opinion from those who know him best. But his most enthusiastic enemy will not allege that he got a dollar of hia fortune illegally.

To that extent, then, he IK Indeed "Ilbnest Harold" but that is faint praise. Honesty means more than that, and by other tests Ickes flunked. In the second new deal, Mr. Ickes toyed with a temptation to return to CHicago and run for mayor against Ed Kelly whom he piously regarded as a rascal in heed of turning out. He was not a resident of Chicago in any publicly known sense of the term.

He actually resided in the suburbs of Washington and his only other registered home was on a street called, in "his biography in Who's Who.
