HOLLYWOOD FLYER ON WAY TO HONOLULU! URRENT OMMENT By Chester H. Rowell here are conflicting Interpretations of President announcement, "1 do not choose to run for President In In strict exactness, these words can only mean that Mr. Coolldge conclusively eliminates himself. for includes accepting as well as seeking the nom- Inatio n. Those who nderstand otherwise Ignore both the precise language and the personality of the speaker.

The President has the gift of silence. When he has nothing to say, he says nothing. He would not use speech merely to reiterate silence. There will be many to regret and some to protest this decision, but none to question the sole right to make it. Being made, the field is open, equally to those who would have supported and those who might have opposed Coolidge if he were a candidate.

The meaning of the cryptic statement will be made clear, not by further explanatory words, but by these facts, as they develop. NLY five names stand Dawes. Borah, Longworth and Hoover. Of these Lowden and Dawes are riding the antl-Coolidge dissatisfaction among the corn and wheat farmers Both will scarcely run. Borah could only run as an insurgent, in an uninsurgent year.

only hope would be as a compromise in a deadlock, and in that improbable emergency the more natural stampede would be back to Coolidge. Of these four only Lowden or Dawes need be considered. This leaves Herbert Hoover as the one man W'ho could unite the present Coolidge following with his own great personal strength. As the recognized ablest member of the Coolidge administration, to which he has been unswervingly loyal, Hoover is the natural successor. And.

in addition, he is incontestably the best-equipped man in the world for precisely the present emergency. hat emergency is to organize the business of government and the government of business to fit the twentieth century. The immediate readjustments of war are over. Harding deflated us of the false values, the extravagance and the hysteria of war, but also of its spiritual exaltation, its joy in service and its sense of the solidarity of mankind. Then Coolidge got us on the track and under way, restored economy to government and stability to business.

He has repaired the machinery and set it to running well. Now comes the more constructive task of making it adequate to the new loads which time and progress will Inescapably pile on it. Unless that is done helpfully, constructively and practically now it will be precipitated radically and destructively later. he best brain in the world for this particular task is none too good for the times. And that brain, by the consensus of opinion and the test of deeds, is Herbert For once the unique man and the unique opportunity coincide.

The flabby post-war slump is ending. We are nearly ready to restore imagination and Ideals to our deflated souls. The risk is not that we shall fail to do it, but that we shall find ourselves unprepared. We need an idealist to guide and respond to our quickened life, and an engineer to find what is possible and devise ways to do it. Herbert Hoover unites as no other man in the public eye these qualities.

He is a man of vision who is not a visionary. The task i.s first one of government engineering; to reorganize administrative departments so that they can function without blocking each other: to readjust executive initiative and legislative scrutiny, BO that we can get the best out of both President and Congi-ess; to make expert knowledge available for democratic judgment and use, so that progressive policies shall not be endangered by political recklessness nor defeated by governmental short, to make government workable. It is a program conservative because it is practical, and progressive because through it alone Is further advance safely possible. The time for it is now, and the man for it, tested and known, is at hand. A idealist with his feet on the ground; an organizer who has made the business of government efficient and the government of business helpful: a reformer who is a builder; a leader bold to advance unto Ana VOL.

The rates to the eastern half of the United States W'ere ordered cut 13 cents a hundred pounds from $1.73 to $1.60 and to Denver. and southwestern territory from $1.62 to $1.50.

The railroads were ordered to put the new rates into effect by October 10. The reduction was made upon complaint of the California Growers and Protective league and shippers of deciduous fruits. most Important -)f w'hlch are grapes, pears, peaches, apricots, plums and cherries. The 18,000 members produce about 65 per cent of the tree fruit and 65 per cent of the grapes grown In California. Complaints Are Upheld The commission, In Its decision today, upheld most of the contentions of the complainants.

The deciduous fruit Induttry, the commission said, "is in serious financial while the citrus fruit industry "is in a condition of relative prosperity. "Considering the relative rates on and earnings of the deciduous fruit traffic In the light of the conditions of the Industry and of the service performed by the carriers and giving due w'eight to the cost study presented by the defendants, we are of the view that the present are in excess of the lowest possible lawful rates as herein the com- mis.sion said. "The heavy increase In the volume of movement, the heavier loading of grapes, couple with the increase in minimum to 30,000 pounds per carload and other considerations point to the conclusion that, In the light of principles that must govern, the present rates are tOO high. Change in Condition "Traffic and transportation conditions, w'ith respect to deciduo is fruit but more especially to grapes, have undergone a material change in the last 10 years and many of these changes have been to the 'Ihe commission pointed out that the railroads have granted a voluntary reduction on citrus freight rates based upon the Increase in the carload minimum and on a movement which is not nearly so large as the transcontinental movement of deciduous fruit. "This record would support a somewhat greater reduction in the rates on deciduous tree the commission explained, "but the growing of grapes is but a part of the basic deciduous fruit industry in California.

Grapes and the other deciduous fruits are close enough in their transportation characteristics to bear a comparable relation as a classification The commission also authorized an increase in the carload on grapes from 26,000 to 30,000 pounds.

The crop is 20 per cent above the five year average. California production is increasing each season, but this year the eastern crop will be shorter than the 1926 harvest.
