Hardly. Say, my granger friends, IL
farm land in Kansas were to
double In value in about three
months, would this not be an
indication of the farming business
being a profitable opeP Under these
circumstances could the public be con-
vinced that farming did not pay, when
people were simply falling over one
another to buy farms?
We are confident our Legislature in
It's wisdom will adjust matters to the
satisfaction of all concerned; and while
the freight RATES need great deal of
looking after, a glance at the psssen-
ger situation might disclose matters of
interest. The writer remembers TAX
ing trip on a west-bound train
not long ago, when of ths occu-
pants of the coach In which he
was riding eight of the passengers
presented tickets paid for at the rate
of 3 cents per mile, while eight other
passengers presented passes. In other
words, the eight gentlemen who paid
their fares were charged enough to
enable the railroad company to carry
the other eight passengers free. Who
says that a system like this does not
need readjustmentP

Ballot Reform.
question,

EDITOR ADVOCATE: - AS we will
have full control of the State govern
meDt Of Kansas during the next two
years, for the first time, it is we'll for
as to begin to consider how our party
can best advance the peop .e's interests
during that time.
One of our aims should be to enable
the voters to register their will simply,
quickly aud as fully as possible. None
Of these results were attained in Kan.
sss this year.
The inclination of all Popullsts Is
toward the election of more officers in.
stead Of their appointment by some
superior. We desire also to proceed
toward the referendum, whereby all
important measures, at least, will be
submitted to popular vote. But under
the present ballot system few would
venture to add more offices or measures
to the list already on the ballots, espe.
Cially in quadrennisl years.
The first step should be to reduce the
size of the ballots nearly one-half by
leaving no blank space under each
name as Is now done. Instead of this,
a blank column should be provided on
the extreme right Of the ballot in which
ths voter may write the name of any
candidate for whom he wishes to vote
If the man on the ticket Of his party Is
not acceptable to him. This is the plan
in use in Pennsylvania.
Second - In Presidential years
square should he placed to the left of
the joint names of President and Vice
President on each ticket, and an X In
such square should be equivalent to a
vote for each Elector separately. But
the squares should remain by the EIec-
tors names, so that If a very undesirs-
BILE man should be named his party
may be rebuked by the rejection of
such an Elector.
Third-It Is sometimes suggested
that circle or square should be placed
at the head Of each column, and the
voter who Wished to "vote 'er straight"
would need only to put his x in such
circlO OE square. This, Il sssms TO me,

the lowest rates that have been made
by them either secretly or otherwise
By following precedents and rates es-
tablished by themselves voluntarily,
the railroads could not well claim want
Of remuneration.
Before the Interstate Commerce
Commission In session In Kansas City
last June, Mr.. F. M. Baker, Mr.. Den
ton and other fsvorlte shippers testl.
tied that they had enjoyed a special
rate Of from 8 to cents per hundred
pounds less than other shippers, from
Kansas railroads. Suppose we reduce
the rates In Kansas to this extent and
let all the people enjoy 1t. This would
neither be unfair nor unjust to the
railroads, because testimony has shown
that they made these rates, and 1t is to
be presumed that these rates were re
muDerstive or the railroads would not
have made them voluntarily. A maxi.
mum freight rate law on the basis of
these private rates would lower the
present local freight schedules In the
State over 80 per cent. on an average.
We have other precedents. Since
midsummer the roads temporarily re.
duced their freight rates (t Is said, as
u campaign necessity and made them
lower than they were ever known be-
fore In Kansas; but the necessity (P)
for such rates cessing to exist, they
were promptly cancelled November 2.
Let us consider these low rates
briefly, and take Abilene, in central
Kansas, as an instance. The rate on
corn from Abilene to st. Louis has
been II cents per hundred pounds all
the latter part of the summer and su.
tumn. Of this amount, the Western
road carrying the corn received 6 cents
per hundred pounds for hauling the
same from Abilene to Kansas l'lty.
This is about the rates charged by ILL.
nois railroads for similar services, as I
have shown In former communication
to the ADVOCATE; and the application
Of these rates for a maximum freight
law will reduce rates In Kansas about
80 per cent. Precedents for these rates
were established by the railroads, and
they ought to be satisfied.
But some Of the Kansas lines claimed
that these rates were too low and were
forced upon them by their competitors.
If 1t was competition that lowered rates
this last summer, will some railroad
manager please explain to the people
OF the State what it was that nearly
doubled rates on November 2P That
must have been combination, and
combinations are prohibited by the
interstate commerce law. What right
had the railroad companies, anyhow,
by simply adjusting their tariff sheets
early this month, to practically confs-
cate one half of the farmers crop
raised this year?
The rates were voluntarily put down
last summer for a purpose, and never

party ties, yet such a system would
offer o premium to vote for party, no
matter what iS on the ticket. IP an
unworthy candidate is presented by
any party, he should be beaten, and we
should not tempt the voter, through
his Incidence, to vote for someone
whom he really does not want. Let us
lay no straw, however light, In the
voters pathway to obstruct him In the
judictous discrimination between can.
didates. An example in point may be
cited in Russell county this year. Here
1t has been the proud boast of Repub-
licsns that no Populist has ever been
elected to a county office and only three
Democrats in the county's history.
But in the year 1896 we have cut the
300 to SEQ majority of former years
down to about 100 on an average,
thanks to the harmonious workings of
the "triple alliance" and the energetic
local campaign by the county ticket led
by Charles H. Kellogg. A County
Commissioner and County Attorney
have been elected from the Populist
ranks. This gives our party a foothold
In future fights, yet if the slightest in
dncement to vote straight ticket had
been thrown out, as by the ballots hay
Ing circle at the head of each column,
we would have lost County Attorney,
because many Republicans who re-
Trained from voting at all would prob.
ably have placed the X in the circle
and ''swalloWed" the whole ticket,
We don't want the other fellows to
elect bad officers, and we can't afford
to choose such from our ranks. So we
would better oblige every voter to vote
for men and not ticket or party, espe.
Gially in positions other than Legisla-
tive and the higher executive Off ,es.
Fourth-Tne silver forces were 90
grossly Disseminated against In the
arrangement of tickets upon the ballot
that it would be we'll to have some
statutory provision on the subject. Let
the law provide that 10 State elections
the party which cast the highest aver
age vote in the preceding State election
shall have its ticket in the first column
on the extreme left of the kallot, the
party which cast the second highest
vote to have the second column, and so
on. Petitioners tickets and other new
ones to be yet farther to the right. On
the extreme right would be the blank

bers at the last State election before
their union of forces. In odd years
county tickets might be arranged on
the same principle, using the parties
votes in the county as a test. This
would stop juggling by County Clerks
and Secretary of State.
Flfth-It would no doubt be much
handler in voting if the squares were
on the right side of the names instead
of on the left, as is now the law. But
change of this kind would tend to
confuse the many voters who are just
