The Act Is Quoted.


passage of this act it shall be unlawful
for any person or any telephone company
doing business in the District of Columbia
TO charge or receive more than $50 per
annum for the use of a telephone on

there being not more than two on a wire:
$50 for each telephone, there being not
more than three on wire, and s25 for
each telephone, there being four or more
on the same wire.
And it is insisted that the clause must.
therefore, be construed as only proviso

WELLS-FARGO REFORMING.

I ELLS-FARGO, an organization given some
w unenviable notoriety through its evasion of
the war tax, is carrying the daily papers
published in this city and paying for the necessary
stamps. This is an improvement. There was
time when the corporation declared that rather than
sustain its share OF the expenses it would decline
to carry the papers. The point of particular interest
is that the private individual has rights ndisputable
as those OF a daily paper, and that anybody with
package to send by express has only proer and
demand that the company affix the stamp There
will be no ground upon which there be refusal.
The Wells-Fargo concern has injured itself by its
shortsightedness Many packages which once would
have been assigned to it for transmission are now
given to the postoffice The mail is sure and cheap
and in patronzing it there is danger of meeting
an arrogant demand for revenue stamp While citi-
zens who do not care to enter upon a controversy
may easily avoid the necessity by patronzing the
mails, there indications that the ultimate reform
OF the WesFargo Express must be left to the State
Legislature. Happily this body has the power to i'm
pose license based on the profits. When the Legis
lature shall have convened and the proper committees
have been appointed, the books be overhauled
and the license determined. 1t is plain that Wells
Fargo people do not appreciate the lenency and
tua generosity with which they have been treated
They have been protected nurtured and the first op-
portuny for them to display gratitude is turned into
an occasion for robbing the public. The public re-
sents this The corporation will understand so later
when called upon to show its books and pay acord-
ing to the size of the dividend.
The war tax, compared with the amount the cor
poraon has lost and is destined still lose through
this meanness would have been tri1e not worth
considering.

ROUSING THE OLD MONOPOLY.

the progressive capitalists OF this city who
| J have carried the Valley Road to success and
- ready to provide it with connections
with the ranscontinenta lines may be said they are
not only energetic themselves, but are the cause of
energy in others. Even the Southern Pacific Com
pany, which for so long time has been averse to
railway improvements in California, has been reused
from the apathy produced by confidence in
the permanence OF IT'S monopoly, and is now prepar-
ing to undertake the work of improving its own lines
1t is now announced that improvements will soon
be made by the Southern Pacific in the passenger
service between this city and the San Joaquin by the
Niles route. The travelling public has long asked for
better service that line, but the asking has
been hitherto in vain The company, was said could
not afford it, and the officials were certain the de-
sired Improvements would not pay. A change has
now come over the counsels of the old monopoly
The company perceives that when the Valley Road
completes its rapidly progressing line from Stockton
to Point Richmond the old service by Niles will not
pay and that better one must be provided or the
line will have hardly any patronage at all
This result of the enterprise of the projectors of
the Valley Road is not surprising. 1t was foreseen
from the start that the road would rouse the
Southern Pacific and cause it also to enter vigorously
upon the task of improving and extending the trans
portation system of the State The first gain was the
reduction in freight rates through the San Joaquin
caused by the competition, and now comes the i'm
provement affecting the section through which the
Niles route runs.
The benefits to be derived from the renewed ac-
tives of the old monopoly will not end with these
The opening OF line connecting the Valley Road
with the lines in the southern part of the State will
compel the Southern Pacific to fulfill its promises
and obligations to the people of the coast counties
and close the gap in the line running through that
section of the State That improvement in our trans
portaton system should have been made years ago
but while the monopoly continued nothing was done
Now that transcontinenta competition is assured the
people along the coast will get their through line at
last
During the last fiscal year California led all the
States OF the Union in railroad building That was
accomplished almost wholly by the construction OF
the Valley Road In the coming fiscal year we shall
probably lead again, since it now seems clear that
the Southern Pacific ITSELF after long asserting that
California needed more railways, is about 70
construct some itself
