REGULATING RAILROADS.
Pertinent Observations by an interior
Paper.

Pertinent Observations by an Interior
Paper.
The Colusa Sun has long editorial on
the arguments used by radical anti-rail-
road paper of San Francisco, from which
we quote feS pertinent paragraphs:
"Now we PT-e perfectly willing to legis-
late the Ranroad Commission out of
office, or to amend it so as to make if
more effective. We think that there
should be control-supervision of rail-
roads by the State, but no honest man
who knows anything about the workings
OF Legislature wants to put the control
there.
The Legislature is limited to sixtv
days. A few dishonest men take charge
Of such bills, and can kill them, and do
do 1t for coin. That is experience. 1t is
said that experience is a dear school. but
tnat fools will learn at none other. A
man Is worse than fool who will not
learn even at that school. The editor
cannot make US believe he is a fool, and
hence we must believe he is in the 'cinch'
business. He lives in the city of San
Francisco, and he knows that not more
than one man in ten goes from that city
to the Legislature who is not 'on the
make'-and that the more violently he
howls the more he adverlises that he is in
the market.
1--WE have tried legislative control; it
was not a success. 1t interfered with all
other matters. 1t was for that reason that
it was taken out of the hands Of the Leg
islature. We have tried the Commission
it is a failure, but it is a harmless fail
ure. 1t does not interfere with Iegisla-
ton of all kinds, and is that much better
than the Legislature.
'Now II we are going to change, let us
change to something better, or at least to
h ftuft
going to be better; not to something we
know is worse.
There is no possible chance for an
argument on legislative control. 1t has
been tried, and thoroughly tried. No
one knows this better than the howlers of
to-day. and hence we can know-posi-
lively know-that they are bowling for
coin. They are adopts i'll the stop thief
cry:
Now suppose we should elect Rail-
road Commission with l20 mem bers, Sc
locted as our Senators and Assemblymen,
would we decree that it should hold a
session only once in two years and limit
it to sixty days?
"Are there the half of 12O men in the
State who could write bill in sixty days
to suit themselves fixing all the ma
chinery for railroad control?
Are there the half of l20 men likely TO
be elected to the Legislature who could
comprehend thorough railroad schedule
in sixty days?
This is robbing the matter of all the
cinch properties that did control for a
quarter of century.
with railroad control out of the Legis-
Iature does it get through with its other
work any too soon or in any manner en-
tirely satisfactory?
mo one has brought any argument in
favor of legislative control, and we sup
pose from that fact that no one can. 10
say 1 want it that way and every fellow
that opposes me is a thief is not argu-
ment. If we assert that man who pro
poses Legislative control is a fool or thief
we will stand ready to prove it, and prove
it by the clearest facts.'

When asked what he was doing, he an
swered that it was his grandmother,
who was always appearing to him, and
that the only way to drive her away
was to beat her. He was finally taken
in hand by an o~culist, and was ordered
to wear the spectacles which he has
used e since, and which have more
effectually banished his apparitions than
all the beating he gave to that bush.
