A POSSIBLE INQUIRY.

In connection with the slight agitation
now being worked in some quarters with a
view of getting the Pullman Car Company
TO reduce the price OF It's upper berths. it
will be remembered that Senator Sherman
In the last congress submitted a resolution
instructing the senate committee on inter-
state TO make inquiry as to the
alleged extortionate charges OF the Pull
man company and report what would be
a reasonable rate for seats. berths and Sec
tions furnished to the travelling public. The
resolution was not heard OF again. 1t slept
IN the committee. but whether its suppress
sion was due 10 the adoption OF means
commonly used In such cases is not known.
\ Pullman lobby has always been an active
force at Washington City. and Il is not
improbable that the death OF the resolution
was in some measure due to its influence.
Senator sherman. when he introduced the
resolution last year. expressed the op!n-
ion that the Pullman car charges are ex-
tortienate. II he stu holds TO that be-
Lief. it is not improbable that he will again
call for an inquiry. Evidently the COM
pany expects It. for its lobby is reported
to have appeared on the scene. and that
something viii be done is Indicated by the
report that memorials from various sec
tons OF the country requesting relief and
numerously signed viii DC introduced early
"a the session.
The people would. no doubt, welcome a
reduction OF Pullman fares. but whether
the company is justified IN making them is
something which ought not to be decided
without allowing the company an oppor-
t1nity OF showing how Il would be affected
thereby. While there are sections OF the
country where the Pullman service Is not
highly profitable. Sc is generally believed
that the net revenues ara sufficiently high
TO suffer a cutting down without the COM
pany being a. all seriously Injured. IN
fact. It is not improbable that in this IN
stance. as in many others. a substantial
reduction OF fares would IN The long run
prove advantageous 20 she Pullman COM
pany in a financial way. The company
has had things pretty much lis own way
Tor the last twenty years. and an inquiry
such as senator Sherman proposed. would
meet with popular favor.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL LIMIT.

The constitutional provision on the CUB
tect az municipal Indebtedness Is as fol-
lows:
Section 8. No county, city, town, scnool
district or other municipal corporation.
shall for any purpose become Indebted IN
any manner 20 an amount exceeding one
and one-half per centun Of the taxable
property In such county. city, town, school
district or other municipal corporation.
without the assen; OF three-hf,hs OF the
voters therein, voting at an election TO be
held for that purpose. nor in cases re-
curing sucn assent shall the total indebt-
edness az any time exceed 5 per centum on
the value OF the taxable property therein,
10 be ascereained by the last assessment
for state and county purposes previous
to the mourning OF such Indebtedness, ex-
cept that I'm Incorporated cities the assess
ment shall be taken from the last assess
ment for city purposes; provided, that no
part OF the Indebtedness allowed IN this
section shall be incurred for any purpose
other than strictly county city, town,
school district. or other municipal pur-
poses: provided, further. that any city or
town. with such assent. may be allowed
to become indebted TO a larger amount,
but not exceeding 5 per centum additional
for supplying such city or town with water,
artificial light and sewers. when the works
for supplying such water. lights and sewers
shall be owned and controlled By the mu-
nlcipality."
The assessed valuation Of Seattle is $751;

to $780, 600. or s440.O go more than the limit.
owing 10 shrinkage in values.
The amount available under the consti-
tuition for water. sewers and electric lights,
at 5 per cent. on s3l. OOO.OO assessed valua-
ton. is 1850 900. We already owe. on this
score, as follows:

SO that we have already exceeded the ut
most limit permitted by the constitution
by $4,000.
Is IL not time to call a halt? II is pro-
posed only TO issue warrants now. Near
ly all OF our Indebtedness began with the
Issue OF warrants which were discounted
at from 5 to Is per cent. Then came the
funding into twenty-year. Understanding

been forgotten so soon?
