There is as usual this year the same
amount of criticism and ridicule of
the legislature that is always indulg-
ed in by the papers. But not much
that is said is really serious. 1t has
come to be a habit in this as in other
states to poke all Sorts Of fun at and
make all sorts OF absurd charges
against the legislature. As matter
of fact the present legislature as a
whole, is a conservative body Of men,
containing an unusual number of
more than ordinary bright and level
headed members, who are not easily
stampeded for or againstany measure,
and their work will result in some
wholesome laws, and wedding out OF
a number Of impractical laws on the
statute books.-State Journal.

Cove ament Control Of Teleeraphs.


The statement Of Mr.. Robert p.
Porter, the Inter Oceans special cor
respondent in London, relative to the
efficacy of government control of tele-
graphs. is very interesting. Mr.. Por-
ter is gentleman singularly free
from faddism, socialistic or otherwise;
he is practical newspaper man,
pratical statistician, and very prac-
tical, though very broad-gauge, poll
tician; hence the conclusion that he
makes public in The Sunday Inter
Ocean of yesterday, II see no diff
Guilty in the governments taking
charge OF all this business, will have
weight.
Mr.. Porter bases his conclusion up
on certain facts, which may be thus
condensed. It is about twenty-five
years since the British government as
sumed practical control of the tele-
graph lines of the United Kingdom
Prior TO the era of government con-
troll the wires were in possession of
three private companies, During the
last year OF private management
$500. 600 messages were sent over
all the wires; under government con-
troll the number has increased to 10,
100000 year, the number of tele-
graph Offices has been multiplied
three-fold, the miles of wire have been
increased from $4,000 to 200, 000.
The tariff of rates has been reduced
from time to time until now, when
12I cents is the rate for twelve words
to any part of the United Kingdom.
The lines pay expenses. "As man
aged by the British government, )"
SAYS Mr. Porter, there can be no
doubt Of the wisdom of state control
of the telegraph business. indeed,
when you compare the business be-
fore the government took 1t in charge
with its present condition, the old
idea OF private ownership seems to
be crude and expensive"
MIR. Porter believes that were the
telegraph lines of the United States
under government control a uniform
rate Of p cents message OF twelve
words might be established at once,
and that reductions soon would be
in order. There is an ever increas-
ing demand in this country for gov
eminent control of telegraphs. and
Mr. Polter's statistics are likely tc
be used with effect by those who ar,
ardent in the demand Inter Ocean

There never was as much money re-
