investments in the railroads so indis-
pensable to the development of our State
are at the mercy of demagogues. The
Railroad Commission has assumed that
to be true which it did not know to be
true. 1t has assumed that rates of trans
portation in this State are excessive and
cess by declaring that reduction of %
per cent. will still leave an ample rate,
when applied to the volume of traffic. to
produce revenues and reward capital; 10
pay the cost of operation and still leave
a surplus.
It is more than apparent that the ma
jority OF the Railroad Com mission have
taken for granted the scandal promul-
gated by newspapers and have not
reached their conclusion by patient in
vestigation. If the railroad rates of trans
portation can bear 25 per cent. reduc-
ton, it must be because they are Excess
sive and if they are excessive, it must be
because the roads are overbondeG, or
that they do not cost as much to operate
them as is alleged by their operators. The
sense of justice of the majority OF the
commission is therefore on trial. If jul
dieial inquiry shall disclose the fac. that
the present rates of transportation are not
too high, it will at the same time disclose
a disposition on the part of majority of
the Railroad Commission to commit an

THE Turks are at it again. More Ar
menians have been butchered. AS of old,
it is said that the Armenians are to blame
for not having opened their shops in
Constantinople, and putting on a de-
meanor of content and fearlessness. Of
course, the lamb was to blame for excit-
ing the appetite of the wolf. He should
have looked brave and the beast would
not have eaten him.
