RAILROAD RATES.

The regulation OF freight rates will be
one Of the important questions to be con-
sidered by the state Legislature. Severe
competition has given low through rates,
over which the legislature has no control
but the almost entire absence Of compe-
tition in local rates has given to the pro-
ducers Of this state, for local transpoyta.
ton, exorbitant rates.
The suggestion Of the Press-Times Of
q rate OF a cent q ton mile on wheat to
the sound is good one, and would give
to the farmers OF Eastern Washington a
better price for their grain, and enable
them to buy more largely OF other neces-
saries Of life. The rates on coal, too,
produce the same effect upon both con-
sumers and producers Of coal. In this
city slack, with an occasional lump in it,
costs delivered $3.50. The miner probably
receives nothing for these screenings, the
retailer gets fair margin, and the Seat
tie mine owner and the railroad get the
balance. We have bought better coal,
hauled as great distance, in Iowa, laid
down in the fire, for 1926.
Then there is the question Of passenger
rates. Why should the people OF this
state pay five cents a mile for every little
trip they make, in order that the loss on
two or three cent through rate may be
made up? The legislature can do no
better work than regulate these matters
in a reasonable way. Nothing offers
greater inducement to settlement OF a
country than ease OF interchange OF COM
modities, SO that it does not require all
one makes to get his produce to market
In the end the railroads themselves would
profit by the increased travel and traffic.
We commend this subject to the careful
consideration Of our legislators

CHURCH REVEALS.

The winter being the time OF most
leisure is chosen by the churches in
which to make revival efforts, and to
turn the thoughts OF mankind toward
the future lie. The world SCOTS at these
efforts, but every year many who 60 to
be entertained remain to seek the way
which the Christ pointed out. 1t is by
these efforts that the church keeps up
her steady growth, and yearly sends out
more men and women to exert an in
flEence for good, and to this increase the
world owes its advancement in civiliza-
ton. The lessons Of the golden rule
have permeated all laws OF trade and
commerce between man and woman, and
nation and nation and when they shall
not only have permeated but shall govern
every transaction then will come the
millennium spoken Of by the inspired
writer.
There is now in progress in the Metho.
dist church such an effort, Rev. DR..
Bright being assisted by Rev. W. H..
Jennings. OF Montesano. Last Sunday
evening DR.. Bright preached a powerful
sermon upon the subject OF Prodigals. As
he truly stated there are more prodigals
on the Western coast than any other
section Of the country, in proportion to
population. Coming so far from the re-.
Etraints OF home and friends, enticed by
speculation and desire 10 taste the cup
OF dissipation, men have strayed away
from the church life, and have lost inter-
est in its work for the advancement Of
mankind.
In our efforts to build up city by the
addition Of new business enterprise, let
us not forget what is just as important a
business enterprise, that OF building up
a correct moral tone in the community,
which OF itself is an inducement to the
best kind Of people to locate, and they
are the kind OF people, too, who produce
something, rather than live off OF others.
1t is only through the church that such
influence can be promulgated, and he
who accepts OF her offers, and tries to
follow her teachings, benefits not only
himself but the whole community. The
church which meant SO much to our
fathers and mothers has not been out
grown by the dawning twentieth century
which it created.
