TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
Colorndo Anninst PooLs.

1t is understood that the Colorado legisia-
ture is about to consider law, in regard to
pools similar to the Illinois law, and ii is be-
lieved that 1t will, DO adopted. If this be done
1t will prevent theipooling business in Colo
RADIO. The bill provides Substantially that
any person detected In the performance OF a
pool commissioners duties in the state, or
that any person or persons proved to have
been connected with the appointment or
election of pool commissioner, shall be
lined sum not to exceed $4,000, In case
the fine is not paid the DEFENDANTS impris-
oned. 1t is believed that the passage Of this
law will effectually break mp the Colorado
pool. There is some talk of trying to get
around the law by making the headquarters
of the mmissioner at Chicago or some
point on the Missouri river. This would not
work as the commissioner would be power
less to regulate the business at Colorado
points IT is evident that,the Colorado fegis-
lature is very determined on this matter of
destroying the pool-system. 1tisclaimed by
Colorado people that under the iron clad pro-
visions of the pool the rates are now the same
as when the Kansas Pacific road was opened
sixteen years ago, and enjoyed monopoly
of the Colorado business. The pool must go.

CHARITY ORGANIZATION SOCIETIES.

CHARITY ORGANIZATION SOCIETIES.
In large cities, experience proves that Off
cial investigation, however thorough, is in-
sufficient. Private benevolent organizations
spring up; hospitals, relief societies., day
nurseries, city missions, etc. while churches
and benevolent individuals labor for the re-
| lief of the unfortunate. So many indepen-
dent agencies, in addition to official aid,
open wide door for abuses. Lazy yaga,
bonds avail themselves of this opportunity,
and there springs up class of people known
Jas 'rounders,", who. make a business of
proftng by as many organizations as posi-
Bile. Benevolent citizens, too busy to make
| personal Investigation, have not the means
of obtaining accurate information respecting
applicants. To meet these difficulties, there
have sprung up in many Of our large cities,
societies for organizing charity, whose Office
is not to dispense aims, but to
facilitate the cooperation of existing
| agencies, and, at the same time, to efficiently
aid the poor by helping them to help them
| selves. These societies become clearing
houses of information respecting the pauper
class. They investigate cases on request by
! paid or volunteer visitors; collect and reg
| lister information secured by inyesd alton of
relief societies or public officials, and furnish
| this information, on request, to any proper
| person. In connection with these societies
! have grown up various auxiliary establish
ments to aid the poor, such as friendly inns,
where meals and lodgings can be earned by
saving wood; charitable wood and coal
yards, where fuel is sold in small quantities
at wholesale rates; day nurseries. where chill
dren of working women are efficiently cared
for at a nominal price Of, perhaps, five cents
per day. In all these establishments, and
others which might be named the aim is to
| furnish needed aid without pauperiZing the
| individual; to discourage street begging aud
vagrancy, aud to secure prompt and efficient
relief in every case of actual need; applicants
for aid, if found to be suitable subjects, being
referred Immediately to suitable agency.
| THE RELIEF OF PAUPERIsM
| Having done what we may to prevent pau
perism and to prevent by investigation the
misapplication of public charity, there re-
mains large amount of pauperism which
must be relieved by public or private charity.
The people are ready and willing TO deal
generously with their unfortunate follow
citizens; but the wise administration of public
charity is very difficult thing, In many of
our new counties the county commissioners
have had little experience in dealing with
pauperism, and have no means of comparing
their work with that of other counties. 1t is
the aim OF this report to give such infor:na-
| ton as will enable com mssieners 10 compare
| their work with other counties.
Tables connected with this report have
! been previously published in the GLOBE.
