K. J. SHIPPING ON VERGE OF BOOM Organization of river transportation to include a service working the jnaller. waterways of western New Jersey is progressing rapidly and within the next few weeks, it is said, operation of two and possibly three services of this kind will be announced. Rivet freight rates have been cut Practically all of the old-established lines are out with announcements of reductions whid place the cost of freighting by. river below the pre-war eehedule. -Why this unexpected and unusual reduction should have been (Bade is little difficult to understand At 'least, that is the statement made in shipping circles by men who have been identified with river traffic for yearn. Without being able^to explain the action these men assume that the cut indicates that steamship companies propose going out after the business an<l are making this evident to the railroads. Cuts in freight rates have been made by the latter at times, but nothing to equal that announced by the river companies. This action by the latter hap given a stimulus to the plans to organize boat services which will tap the inner country districts of West Jersey. While there is nothing in the activities to indicate that the- smaller companies are being promoted by the larger ones, it is generally understood that they will, become feeder^ for the tatter. There is no reason, it is insisted, why a larger percentage of the freight moving' from West Jersey ta the south should not go by water, fin the past the hold-up has been in the difficulty in delivering freight at boat landings. It cost more in manyy instances to haul to the wharf-boat as to ship by rail from the nearby station, and naturally, the shippers took advantage of the lower coBt. Canal Improvements Aid Another factor , which hlv§ aided in developing the plans for the organization of the smaller boat service is seen in the improvements being made in the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, and also in the assurance that within a comparatively short time thfe North Jersey canal will be constructed. It looks like a case of getting Into tht business on the ground jfloor, for it is generally recognized; that with the improved water shipping facilities along the river and through the canals between the larger terminals and intermediate points there will grow up a demand for , similar- facilities for shipping frojn the nearbly Inland sections, and that the small boat companies will meet the demand. " * Operation of the Cape May- Lewes ferry has also given a new interest to local water shipping. The facj that the plan to put the ferry in operation I has at last been successfully carried through is taken to indicate that the time has come when the^interests ■ which have consistently fought the | development of water transportation have had to admit they could no long- 1 er prevent it and that as a result it' should be developed in all directions. ! All through Western Jersey there •has been a ceaseless complaint for} years over, what was termed "inade- | quate shipping facilities." While the ^ railroads have unquestionably hrijvi^ed the best service possible with- the facilities ttfey commanded, 'it has nevertheless been largely Unsatisfactory, especially to the shorF" distance shipper, the producer having markets In Philadelphia, Trenton and Wilmington. Now they see aq opportunity to offset the disadvantages under which they have labored, and -they are naturally backing into the small boat project. Many of the farmers have expressed a desire to become stockholders in the little companies. But 1 .the stock Is not fdr sale, it is said, as those promoting the systems are doing so in the capacity of private individuals who plan to own. -the the companies they build up. It was estimated here today that approximately 1000 tons of freight can be handled by the small boat service in this section duriqg the opening month of traffic, and that before the Summeij shipping ends it w^thun dose to 50,000 tons gross. This will mean a considerable revenue to the owneril of the small companies, which can operate at a comparatively small overhead expense. Oh? thing is already foreseen. Eventually the smaller companies will be consolidated or they will adopt a. «y»tem of co-operation which will make it possible to handle the bulk of the traffic of the section by water. Through joint freight rates can be made between points where the .traf- " fic' is handled by two or more of the . companies just as easily as in the case of larger traffic organizations using 1 two or more systems in the movement of freight. , Many developments have taken place .in the work of expanding river . ,e

| traffic, bat none are considered of H greater importance right now than the small boat companies which will go after the business inland along the »n navigable streams of Western New ie Jersey. . It is insisted that they will v become profitable feeders for the 'd larger companies running; the river, tli and that within -another decade the se business will have assumed an imc- porta nee little inticipated at the present time. Among other things they t will result in increasing farmland id -values in the districts where their >f traffic extends. Farmers throughout >f this section understand this and many ir of them are looking around to get id "water-fjt>nt locations" along the n .smaller streams which will be worked by the companies being organized. — le The Inquirer. ,r GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE RESTORED ie ' J4 "The key-note of the Harding inaugural address was sounded in those e words which declare^, "the success of our popular government rests wholly [t upon the correct interpretation of the deliberate, inetlligent, dependable popular will of America," asserts the Republican Publicity Association in a statement issued today through the r President of that organization, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "That sentence recognizes the important fact that, in order to be intelligent, the will of the e people must be based upon full infor- ^ mation, analyzed, and discussed^in -a e deliberate manner, and, when "thus ^ formed, is dependable. In the opene iag paragraphs of bis address Mr. Harding demonstrated his own corj* reel interpretatim of such a judg e ment of the people, for he stood t stedafastly behind the decisions reg- _ istered at the poffir iast November. s "Particularly was this true in his comments upon our attitude toward ^ the league of nations. In the course of the campaign (Mr. Harding had said: 'In simple words the issue is, a that he (the Democratic candidate) favors going into the Paris League s and I favor staying out^ . On that e plainly stated issue the American K .people gave Mr. Harding a pjurality t 'of more than seven millions — a decisg ion expressed after a keenly contest- . ed campaign had given the entire f country full information on wh'ch to ? form a deliberate, .intelligent, de- ^ pendable popular will. "Other issues decided by the elecl tion are also very appropriately sum- - med up by the President, thus assurs ing the nation that in these respects, - also, there is correct interpretation of ! the will fff "the people, for he says: 1 -""I speak for administrative effici- : ency^for lightened tax burdens, for , sound eom-xfT-cial practices, for ade- , quate credit facilities, for sympathet- [ ic concern for all agricultural prob- ' , lenis, for the omission of unnecessary 1 I interference of govei-hment with busi- , ness, for an end to government's 'ex- ' ; periment in business, and for more , J efficient business in government ad- ' i ministration. "Public confidence has been greatly ( ; ' strengthened by the inauguration of ! a Chief Executive who recognizes his . i position as one.of service, not of mas- J - 1 tery, and who proppses that the gov- . ernment shall encourage, not usurp. i the activities of private enterprise.
