MershOn Reform.

superintendent MershOn has re-
ceived $G20. .95 for services during the
eight months of this year ending
Aug. 3Oth. At the same rate for the
remaining four months of this year
he will receive s3l0.47, making his
pay for the year $93l.42. Besides
this the law provides that IL he asks
it the county shall provide him an
Office, furniture, books, etc. He de-
manded these things, they have been
provided for him, and the county
must pay for them. He must have
also fuel and lights. Stove, tables,
desks, book eases for the books he is
peddling, and all these things must
be paid for by the county. And
while he is out peddling books
among the grangers the deputy, his
daughter, must be In the Office, and
must be paid Of course. Her bill for
service was presented last June,
but was Withdrawn, 10 wait until
the election was over. At the end
OF this year the people Of this county
will have paid t0 the Reform Super
intendent Of Schools, including all
these extras, not less than $l2O0.0OI /
And this is ntl-Monopoly reform !!
The average pay received from the
county by Messrs. Yetter and Ride
nour for services In the same Office,
including alI extras for the three
years preceding Mr.. Msrshon's term
was $56S.4l.
Reform Supt, per year.........$l200.0 90
Republican Supt. 4" ......... 56S.41
Back ward reform I" .......... 63I SO
The Democrat, just before election
said in an EDITORIAL:
Mershon Is paid far less for his SER
vices ~ Superintendent OF Schools
than was paid RidenOur last year,
and "no Reform spurts every radi-
CdI ofatoI, ANU ileS Vic IdulCdi pTcco
of the county !"
Mr.. Yetter, Republican, Co.
Sup't received in 1871 $277 20
Mr. Ridenour in 1872 $50 3
Mr.. Ridenour i'm 1873 S4l so
Mr. Mershon, i'm eight months,
1874 $40 95
At same rate for entire year Mr..
Mershon's pay from the county
will be 93l AZ
Add to this latter sum, the proba-
BILE cost Of office room, furniture,
books, stationery, fuel, lights, depu-
ty hire, ETC., and see whether or not
1t is true that Mershon is paid far
less, rs the Democrat states.
OF course Nc. always tells the
truth!
The election is past, and we pre-
sent the above figures 10 show how
utterly reckless and vicious even a
Democratic Senator may be in his
He says "far less" but
truth says far more.

In the Southern States it is perfect

rous Democrats for putting bullet

that personal freedom is allowed to
all in the South deliberately and
knowingly tells base falsehood-to
put it i'm the mildest form.

uAge Coles New Plan Of
D1anaging Railroads.

Jadge G. c. Cole has an able article
In the Western Jurist for September,
on TIE management Of railroads. He
argues that the "just price" for car
ryipg freight by rail is not absolute
but relative. The price Of labor,
the cost OF material used In con-
stsnct5ng the road. the difficulty Of
building 1t, the>quantity OF freight
10 be carried, the varying price al
market, enter into the problem |;
hence, tan inflexibLe statute must
work injustice. 1t may DO conf
IDENTIFY asserted, therefore, that no
permanent, satisfactory, or just re-
lief from railroad mOnppolies can be
secured by statutory regulation OF
prices for carrying freights." But
the Judge proposes a remedy, origi-
nal with him so Ear as We know,
which he puts forth in modest terms,
confessing that experience may
demonstrate it too pregnant with
difficulty and possible failure" His
plan is, the exercise upon railroads
Of that same power Of "eminent
domain" which, In the construction
of railroads, is exercised by the rail
road companies. Railroad cOmpa-
nies,u he says, "ara allowed to call
into exercise the power Of eminent
domain to take from the owners of
real estate the right of way for their
railroads. This right If way is the
right to the use of real estate for the
purpose of laying their track and
running their trains over it for
number OF years, or perpetually.
After the track is laid, the whole,
that is the land or right Of way, the
ties, rails, spikes, ETC., become real
estate, and itself subject to the power
of eminent domain. Now let any
person who desires TO run an engine
or q car, or a train Of cars, call into
exercise this power Of eminent do
main against or upon the railroad
company, and by the assessment OF a
jury, subject to revision by the
courts, condemn the right Of way
over the road for his engine, car, or
train. The assessment would fix the
rate per mile, for an engine, pas
ssenger car, a loaded car, an empty
car, and perhaps grade the price for
an engine according to it's weight.
The condemnation or assessment
might be in the nature OF general
or public proceeding, so that when
once fixed at the instance Of any one,
it should be equally open and availa-
BILE to all who should choose to run
an engine, car or train upon the rail-
road track, on payment in advance
for such right of way. Under this
regulation an individual or company
owning an engine could haul the
cars Of any merchant or any freight
er at such a price as they might
agree, and the multiplication OF such
individuals and companies would af-
ford competition and thereby de-
stroy the monopoly. Thee indlYsd.
