There is considerable cheap talk going
on in some of the newspapers printed
near state institutions, about the people
smoking and chewing less tobacco,
drink less beer and denying themselves
other things, to the end that appropria
tions for state schools may be kept up to
maximum of former years, so as to not
"deprive the rising generation OF the
education necessary to fit them for their
duties" Ii the state did not have 30 to
lS5 schools in every town; and il there
were no high grade UNCONVENTIONAL col
leges and universities convenient In
query part of the state, there might be
sou.e reason to the cry of high appropri-
alton advocates. But money may be
wasted in schools as anywhere else. The
main question before the people OF this

penses within the states income

presaged business disasters such as had
never before been experienced by the
United States. The stout man tried to

Pioneer Press, u: The prospects are
that ID great many people who have
heretofore enjoyed the privilege Of free
transportation over the railroads of the
country will be disappointed when the
time for the distribution of annual passes
arrives. The general managers OF a
large number OF roads are adopting
what is known as the Mldgley pass
agreement. This agreement cuts off
every thing but railroad men, eve ex-
GLIDING fast freight line men without an
order from the general manager OF the
road over which the transportation Is
required. 1t also cuts off tank line men,
Armour ear man and all that class not
directly connected with the railroad SER
vice. For years efforts have been made
TO cut down, or at least limit, the free
transportation business, but the tronble
has always been to get the different
roads TO act in harmony in the matter
The Mldgley agreement is a sort OF iron
clad, however, and promises to bring
about the desired result, for by ic tbs
foads bind themselves not to furnish
transportation ever to the general ON
eers of a road that refuses TO sign al
agreement. Il Ii estimated that Oh

who were beguiling the miles with
