NEVER SAY FAIL.

Keep pushing-'tis wiser
Than sitting aside.
And dreaming and signing
AID waiting the tide.
in liie's earnest battle
They only prevail
Who daily march onward
And nvrcr say fail.
With an eve ever open,
A tongue that's not dumb
Ana a h-art that viii never
To sorrow succumb.
You'll battle and conquer.
Though thousands asSail
How strong and how mighty
Who never say faill
The spirit Of angels
Is active, | know.
A. higher and higher
In glory they 20;
Mrthinks on brigh, pinions
FROM heaven tlcN sat-
To cheer and encourage
Who never say fall
Ahead. then. keep pushing,
Aud elbow your way,
Unhecding the envious
All asses that bray;
All obstacles vanish,
AT enemies quail
In the might Of their wisdom
Who never say fail.
In life's ROSY morning,
In msnhood's fair pride,
Let this be your motto
Your footsteps to guide.
In storm and in sunshine,
Whatever assail.
Wen onward and conquer,
And never say fail .

Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1870-03-11

Every student of railroad problems now
recognizes the fact that the laws OF CON-
petition do not apply 20 them. In the first
place combination always will, as it always
has, render effective competition impossible.
If railroad competitor could ever exist be-
tween two points, it would now exist be-
tween this city and Chicago. What, how
ever, are the facts Within the last year
the tariff of rates between the two cities has
ranged from 81 to nearly $40 per ton.-
Such fluctuations are fairly rulnous, and
vet they seem to be inevitable, as laws Of
competition and combination alternate.
This is the case betwe, en- terminal points.
Meanwhile, competition applies, and only
can apply to one point out OF twenty. Very
few towns have, or can have, more than u
single line of railway. All local business
is thus taxed heavily to meet the loss lii
Cured through runous competition on
through bu5,ress. Again, paradoxical as
it may sound, competition Is absolutely IN
compatible with ths cheapest form of
freight transportation. Every railroad man
knows perfectly well that the cost, per ton,
OF transportation, decreases exactly as the
number OF IONS rtCciNch liiCtcdoCo' A io''''
which moves five million tons year can
do so at less than half the cost per ton OF
similar road which moves but one million.
There is no such thing as exceeding the
possible capacity of road for moving
freight, as long as additional tracks can be
laid down. 1t accordingly follows as log
ical consequence, that, under proper pub
lie regulation, that community will ENJOY
the cheapest transportation which permits
between given points Of least competition

And by means of wise legislation pro-
tects itself against robbery and extortion,

Senator uo,veli,s speech.

We are indebted 10 our new Senator Mr..
Howell, for a copy of the Daily Globe, con.
tanning his maiden speech in the Senate in
support of the resolution offered by him in
STRUGGLING the committee on Public Lands
to insert in all bills hereafter reported
granting lands TO railroads, a provision Sc
curing the homestead rights of settlers
thereon. aud also requiring the sales OF
said lands to be made at the price Of the al.
terna,e sections belonging to the govern
ment. The speech bears ample evidence
cfthe Strong practical good sense and alb
Of Mr.. Howelrs utterances Of tongue or pen.
Our Senator defends with forcible and CO.
gent argument the wisdom of granting pub
lie lands to aid in the construction of rail-
roads which would otherwise have no pros
pect of immediate returns. AT the same
time he deprecates in the most emphatic
manner, the policy as pursued in the case
Of the Illinois Central and Pacific roads, of
making grants of the public domain to rail
road corporations, largely in excess of the
necessities of the enterprises projected, and
permitting them to lock it up from settle
ment until it has increased fourfold in value
by reason Of the labors and expendtur |..of
the settlers upon the adjacent government
ands: in the meantime bearing an entirely
inadequate and unequal share of the public
burdens; ard this too when theiraoads have
been built almost entirely at the expense Of
the government. 1t is to guard the public
against this oppressive land monopoly and
to prevent the aggrandizement of the pro-
iect0rs of railroads at the expense of the
government, that practical application OF
the principle of Mr.. Howelrs resolution is
called for, and we are pleased to note that
it has passed tie Senate. Mr.. Howell sig
nalizes his advent upon the floor of the
Senate by an effort to reform public
abuse, which does him much honor, and
which will be appreciated by the people OF
Iowa.

in an excited discussion of the Capitol bill.
A motion was made to fill blank with
the names of six commissioners, who should
have the general supervision of the struc-
ture The motion was lost. At $50 Mr..
Kasson moved that the bill be engrcssed
and read the third time, and also moved the
previous question, cutting off further de
bate. The vote stood yeas 40, nays 4S.
1t will require 81 votes to pass the bill,
and it is somewhat doubtful whether they
can be had, as it IS said that one and per.
haps two or three who voted for the en-
grossment will not vote for the bill on its
final passage. 1t will now pass on file and
come up in its regular order, unless calico
up sooner by its friends.
