Railroad freight rates are to be raised
all over the country. This action is
necessary, say the railroad managers,
on account Of increased wages, greater
cost of material, etc. Paul Morton, vice
president of the Santa Fe, cites the fact
that steel rails now cost just double the
price they did in lS97-fve years ago
in his discussion Of reasons for the
necessity of higher rates. This being so
it seems that blind man ought to be
able to see that the Steel Trus. at least
needs a little application of the Iowa
Idea,' and, in fact, general overhaul
ing. No one of common sense and
knowledge will attempt TO say that it
costs double now over '97 to mine iron
ore or that wages of iron miners or mill
workers have been doubled All there
is of.it is, the Steel Trust needs the big
profits to pay interest on watered stock.
And IS long as the people remain "Iam-
phools" and continue the party of the
tariff and trust barons in power, just so
Iong7will this state of affairs remain and
continue.

The following table shows the per-
oentage of tenant farms and,the increase
af same since 1880 is Interesting.

OF all the arguments that ara made
against undertaking a reform of the
tariff with view to reduction Of It's
burdens none is more shallow and inn
pertinent than that congress is incap.
able OF doing the work. says the Boston
Herald. LII is shallow and impertinent
for the reason that everybody knows
that, no matter how many commissions
are created nor how excellent work
they may DO, congress will not accept
the results of their labor as having any
worth compared with what the com
mittee of ways and means OF the house
and the finance committee of the senate
think they know. Congress viii do the
work if it is done at all aud will doit IN
| its own way. 1t isn't in the power OF
Mr.. Roosevelt or of congress to appoint
g commission so able that congress will
pay any respect to its recommendations
on account Of the authority of the com
MISSIONS knowledge and patriotism.

THE NEW sTATEs-ExpECTANT

Debate was Monday begun in the
senate upon the "omnibus bill'' admit
ting Arizona. New Mexico and Okla.
/. homa as states to. the union. The
measure has been passed by the house;
the senate committee on territories has
reported substitute providing for the
admission of one state formed by join.
ing Oklahoma and Indian Territory
but number of senators favor the
original bill.
The three territories have more than
four times the area Of New England.
New Mexico had in 1900 1875 900 people,
fewer than Jersey City, but more than
the state of Delaware, The majority
speak only Spanish; SO per cent. can
not read any language.
Arizona had by the last census l22,-
900 people; 10000 are Mexicans; 20 per
cent are illiterate Itis little more pop
ulous than New York City's largest
ward, but has three times as many resi-.
dents as Nevada and 10000 more than
Wyoming. Both Arizona and Kew
Mexico are arid, but hope much from
irrigation.
Indian territory had in 1900 392 eco
people, of whom l9 per cent were
illitera,e, Oklahoma, 39s, 900, of whom
5.5 per cent were iiliterate; The senate
committee states that their combined
population is now about million.
Either territory has more people than
Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming, California,
Oregon, Nebraska or Idaho had when
admitted, and of course more than the
earlier states. Opponents Of the omni-
bus bill justly claim that the 10000
limit set in 1887 for admission, but not
always observed, should be greatly
raised now that the older states are SO
much bigger.
The admission of the three territories
would add four members to the house
and six to the senate. Twenty.tM c
western senators would then represenl
eleven states whose combined popula.
ton is but little more than one.third
that Of New York.-New York World.

Director Sage, of the Iowa Crop Ser

raised in the state this year is not mar
ketable. The total value of the crop
this year is $4,000, 900, as compared
with Sll3, 100000 last year. The crop
this year is estimated at 297, 900, 600

The Leon reporter., 1902-12-25

Money rates are stiff and q continu-
ing frmness is anticipated, the reasons
for it being that large crops, trade
activity and high prices make lmpera-
tive demands upon limited currency
supply; very large sums are still locked
up in underwriting esyndicates; the
treasury is again$g absorbing funds
through customsspa yments; heavy jan
nary disbursenents will soon have to be
provided for, and gold exports in set
tlemeateof foreign loans are inevitable
later5n, unless our foreign trade bal
xfice becomes more favorable. As a
partial Offset, bank reserves are stronger
than two or three months ago, and
there has already been considerable
contraction in loans through forced
liquidation. There are those, however,
strong in market control who do not
think that the financial house-cleaning
has yet been sufficiently thorough; and
it need cause no surprise if some strin-
gent periods in the money market are
witnessed during the next few months.
1t must not be overlooked also that the
treasury has practically exhausted its
resources for relief, and that haying
rushed in to save Wall street gamblers
and ayerted one crisis it is not in posi-
tion to afford any further material
help. A lower rate than per cent for
time money need not be hoped for by
borrowers for some time to come.

Shortly after the curtain rose at the Eagles minstrel show in A. E. hat, Monday evening, w. Ii.

Upon making an in, estigation he found that the floor in an unused dressing room in the third story was on fire. With rare prc@ence of mind he communicated the fact to w. NJ. Eddy, F. V. Lawten and D. N. B. Glenn and Sam Cunningham. the two latter having been drcss.n fer their turn" Lawten and Eddy seized some hand grenades and dashed the con tents on the fire, aided by Glenn, who crawled into the smoke filled room at considerable personal risk. The flames were soon eXtinguiehcd. while the spectators below sat blisSfully unc0u scious Of the fire above. An excited man made dash down stairs to an- nounce the gruesOmc fact that the building was on fire, when sam Gun ningham seized him by the throat tell ing him he would "knOck his block of'' if he opened his mouth. So mad stampede was averted, which might have resulted in injury to many and perhaps death to some.
 The fire was caused by lot of seen cry and decorations coming in contact with the stove pipe which ran through the ioos. The flames had crawled up the side of the room and had not the fire been discovered just when it was in brief time the whole building would have been in flames and the con- sequences would have probably been most disastrous to human life and prop erty.
 Chief Baldwin and the fire depart ment and Chief of Police Jolley were quietly notified and they, too, rendered timely assistance.
