OUT oF POLITICS OF NoT2

How the people Of California can succeed
IN emanciDaring themselves from the thrall-
dom of the railroad monopoly is the ques-
ton Of the hour. Mr.. Leeds and the Traffic
Association hold that the question of
cheaper rates Of freight should be made a
political issue at the polls. so that citizens
should be called upon TO vote squarely
whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied
with existing freight rates. This is not
what the railroad wants. 1t says in FRI
days Chronicle:
II the Traffic Association hopes or expects to
accomplish anything II must let politics alone.
Ii has the weapons of ofense and defense in its
own hands, and il VIII be very unRlss II II drop
them aud pick up the ordinary weapons OF pOlit-
ical warfare which it clearly cannot use 10 good
advantage. The permanenoe and success OF the
association depend upon It's keeping Itself en-
tiTely aloOf from partisan politics
1t would be interesting to be informed Of
the line Of reasoning on which this conten-
ton rests. Politics are that branch of ethics
which consists in the regulation and govern
ment of a nation or state for the preserva-
ton Of its safety and prosperity. and for
the development of its resources. An agi-
tation gets into politics when it involves
such large Interests and so many persons
that combined action is felt to be necessary.
Whenever q reform becomes so vital that
il cannot be attained by individual effort an
appeal is taken to the mass of the people,
and they are called upon to say whether or
no they want it. When that stage is reached
the reform takes the shape Of political issue.
Parties divide on it at elections. If the
majority vote against the proposed re-
form it is laid to rest; If they vote in its
favor. tie party in power is expected to de-
wise machinery to carry i into effect.
