REGARDING PASSENGER RATES
Decision of the Illinois railroad and
warehouse Com m IL aiOuers.

Decision of the Illinois railroad and
Warehouse Com missioners.
In the matter of the Communication
of the secretary of the state grange OF
Illinois dated Jan. / 1897, embodying a
resolution of thai body adopted at it's
December meeting, 1896, asking the
board of railroad and warehouse COM
missioners to reduce the passenger
rate from three (3) cents to two GU
cents per mile, the commission is OF
the opinion that to do so at this time
would be unwise and unwarranted and
would be unjust to the railroad inter-
est OF the state. While some of the
great trunk lines in Illinois might be
able to stand such a reduction, yet the
smaller roads, and those which do
almost wholly local business. and
which are now and have been for the
last two years struggling for exist
ence, would be most seriously anected
by it,
Such action on our part would sim
ply increase the heavy burdens under
which they are staggering now. 1t is
q well-known fact to those who have
taken the trouble to investigate the
amount Of passenger business done by
two years that there has been a large
decrease in the number of passengers
carried. This is due in our judgment
not to the amount charged for such
service but to the general depression
in all lines of business, the low prices
of farm products and the unsettled
financial conditions which have had
their effec: on the passenger as well
as the freight business.
And it is also fact as shown by the
sworn reports OF the railroads of Illi-
nois that the capital invested in such
property has not paid even a fair in
terest to the stakeholder. This ques-
ton was before US when We revised
the freight schedule in 1895. and the
whole question was thoroughly con-
sidered. We did not think then and
neither do we feel now that in justice
to both the public and the railroads,
because each should stand on the same
equality before the law, this reduction
should be made at this time. IL the
country was prosperous our conclu-
sions might be different.
The statistics in our Office show that
for the past three years, 1894, 1885 and
1896, the average amount charged by
the railroads. per passenger mile Is
fraction above two cents, although the
maximum allowed them 1as three
cents.
For the reasons above stated we do
not feel that this reduction should be
made at this time. We are also asked
to recommend this reduction to the
legislature. In view Of our conclusion
we do not feel that it would be con-
sistent for us to do so: however, the
legislature has the power to regulate
the maximum rate which can be
charged for passenger service and We
leave the matter TO their wisdom.

WHAT A LIEs
4 Editor Says That II Takes Money

a Editor Says That IL Takes Money
to Run Newspaper.
From the Covington Ohio Gazette:
1T takes money 10 run newspaper"

What an aggregation; what whop-
per. 1t has been disproved thou
sand times; it is clean case OF airy
fancy. II doesn't take money to run
a newspaper; il can run without mon
ey. 1t is charitable institution,

2an 20 on and on and on, when any
other concern would be in the hands

webs in the window. 1t takes wind to

newspaper. 1t takes a scintillating,
acrobatic imagination, and a half doz-
en- white shirts, and a railroad pass to
run newspaper. But money-Heav-
ems TO Betsy and six hands round, who
ever needed money in conducting a
newspaper. Kind words are the med
lum OF exchange that do the business
for the editor-kind words and church
social tickets. When yC1 see AN ed
itor with money, watch him. He'll
be paying bills and disgracing his pro-
fession. Never give money to an edi-
tor. Make him trade it out. He likes
to swap. Then when you die, after
having stood around for years and
sneered at the editor and his little Jim
crow paper, be sure and have your wife
send III for three extra copies by one
OF your weeping children, and when
she reads the generous and touching
notice about you, forewarn her TO ne
elect to send fifteen cents to the editor.
1t would overwhelm him. Money Is a
corrupting thinG. The editor knows ii
and what he wants is your heartfelt
thanks. Then he can thank the print
ers and they can thank their grocers.

Tor church notices. Get your lodge
letter heads and stationery printed
out OF town, and then food the editor
with beautiful thoughts in resolutions
OF respect and cards OF thanks. They
make such spicy reading, and when
you pick it up filled with those glow
ing and vivid mortuary articles, you
are so proud of your little paper. But
money-scorn the filthy thing. Don't
let the pure. innocent editor know
anything about it. Keep that for
sordid tradespeople who charge for
their wares. The editor gives his bounty
away. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
He'll take care Of all the editors. Don't
worry about the editor. He has
charter from the state to act as door
mat for the community. He'll get
the paper out somehow; and stand up
for you when you run for office, and lie
about your pigeon-toed daughters
tackey wedding. and blow about your
big-footed sons when they get "a per

soul when 1t is released from your
grasping body, and smile at your giddy
wiie's second marriage. He'll get along.
