TT is some times asserted by oppO-
nents of the government ownership of
railroads that we have lower transpor-
tation rates in this country than In
those countries where the government
owns the railroads, Possible some
light may be thrown on this statement,
II 1t 10 true, when 1t is known that
about one half Of Prussia's total reve-
nue. income ia derived from the earn
ings Of the state railroads. The
United States consular report Of 1897
for October says; state ownership Of
railroads plays a verV important part
Prussia's finances, Earning enormous
sums, serving commerce and manu-
facturers In times Of peace and all
strategic purposes in times of war,
they have more than justified the ar
guments that urged the government to
own them and the liberal policies that
constructed and developed them in all
parts of the Empire. The receipts for
lS0O-Ol were $50 ,4sS,470 marks, ($2ll,-
sos, ,2S20 for lS94-96, | ,030 ,430 ,OiG marks
(S247 ,3lS97O.) In 1895 81, they have
gone far beyond the budget estimates
of 1920, ,5O2, 400 marks ($242 900, ,99l
The budget estimates for lS97-9S are
,2lO,2l0 $50 marks 1924, ,230 ,063.) How
large and important these figures are
will be seen when one compares them
with the Kingdom's total income Of a
trihe over 2OOO,OOO,O 900 marks (S47e,.
900, ,OOO.) Thus, more than half Prus.
sta's income is derived from railroads.
Direct and indirect taxes bring 234, $780,.
900 marks 1856, oil, ,OOOJ mining and
smelling works owned by the state
27,OOO,O 900 marks (s2O, ,226 ,OOOD forests
and lands, 9l,OOo,OOO marks 1921 $751;

A CORRECTION.

We Hnd that In our article last week
on Sheriff Longs charges on the trans
portatiOn OF patients TO tho insane
asylum, we were somewhat In error,
and are willing to make apologies and
rOparatlOn. 1t was stated that the
clause StipulatinR that the payment
for these services should bo the same
as those for transporting prisoners to
the penitentiary had been repealed and
10 the new law there WAS no provision
concerning 1t. This was our opinion
at that time, but on further exAmina-
tion OF the statute we find that section
eleven OF the law OF ~ WAS not re-
pealed by the new law and We there
fore now take back what We sald and
say that instead Of there being shadow
of IN excuse for the sheri1f's bill charg-
ing ten cents per mile for transporting
patients to the asylum, there was alb
solutely none, and that such q charge
WAS totally In violation and without
authority OF law, Notwithstanding that
the county attorney approved the bill.
Upon inquiry we find that on such a
trip one would leave here Ia the even
ing arriving at 0ssawatomie about
daylight next morning; returning
would take the train at 0ssawatomie
in the evening, and get here next
morning, being absent about thirty-six
hours, But for this trip Sheriff Long
charged for three days for himself and
guard. Last week we printed the bill
as allowed amounting to SS4,O6. A
legal and reasonable bill would be
about as follows:

mated for the speakership probably with
out opposition. Mr.. A. o. Sullivan, the
