Morgan and Marion joint senatorship

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Marion county has now three senators,
and joint senator with Morgan is TO
be elected at the November election. Nor
gan county has senatorial repre-
sentation. except one Jointly with
Marion county. to be elected this fall.
Fairly. 1t is self-evident that this joint SEN
ator should be conceded TO Morgan county.
Senator William +. McCord, of Martins
vile. is candidate for joint senator of
Morgan and Marion counties. He is a law
yer of ability and character, and has served
one term as senator for Morgan and John
son counties. II occurs to me to suggest
that Marion county, under the circum-
stances. should be perfectly willing to give
to Morgan county this joint senatorship.
Morgan county is for Mr.. McCord. In 1892
Marion county got the joint senator with
Hendricks county, and in 1896 Marion got
the joint senator with Hancock and Shelby
counties, and Ii seems that as Marion has
three senators of it's own. it should grace
fully yield the joint senatorship to Morgan.

The board of arbitrators of the Joint
Traffic Association has rendered a favor
able decision on the appeal of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad of differential fares in
both directions between Chicago and Pitts
burg. Under thiszdecision. effective Aug. l,
rates between Chicago and Pittsburg via
the b. & o. and connections will be $1O5O
first class and 50 second class. which will
give to that line as low rates between the
two points as any of its competitors This
question has been a contention between the
different lines for several years. and the
decision of the board of arbitrato tors grant
ing relief to the Baltimore e. Ohio Railroad
Is source of no little satisfaction to the
officials of that line.
