AN uNwIsE ACCUSATION.

The Times Republican was surprised
to find this flippant comment the other
day in the Marion Register in regard to
worthy class of newspaper workers:
"The correspondents have to write and
lie about something. That's their bus
mess. The truth would be too tame =
Editor Rathbun, of the Register, as an
experienced and worthy writer, knows
how much he has been compelled to
stem the tide against the false senti-
ment about lying newspapers" He
workers. whether editors or correspond
ents, aim TO be fair. and every news
paper man knows how much a false
statement reacts against a newspaper.
1t is part cf the life of successful
journal. part of the newspaper man
ayers business economy, to prevent
false statements from appearing in his
columns. Generally the readers of
newspapers are wise enough to discrim-
hiatt DelWtSIi Wnat Is true anu WHAT
is obviously false. A newspaper pub
Usher who finds that correspondent is
using his position to misrepresent facts
or 20 publish false stories, is moved to
discharge him from hsi service as soon
as possible. There are times when such
correspondents get into the harness, but
they can not remain long if the manag-
ing editor is true to his mission. News
papers are occasionally fooled by ire
sponsible correspondents. but not often.
When the latter come to know their
duties fully. and learn the true aim of
the publisher, they become worthy and
responsible purveyors of news, and
they deserve better treatment than to-
be classed as liars, even tho the shot
was in part aimed at Washington writ

to make the product unsaleable and kill
the industry because OF its supposed
competition with dairy products, altho
lit has been claked with the holy pur-
pose to prevent fraudulent imitation.
Had the promoters of the cleo bill
been sincere they would have provided
Regulations and penalties to require the
oleo product to be plainly labeled and
tagged everywhere, so as to sell on its
own merits, and not as butter, but this
was not the real purpose. Dairymen
had sought congressional aid in throt-
Ting business competitor and because
congressman thought the farmer de-
manded the law they voted for it. 1t is
now wholly in order and in line with
precedent for the breeders of horses to
demand law placing prohibitive tax
on all mules hitched in harness on the
ground that by doing the horses right
full work in harness the mule was there
by initiating the horse. and fraud. The
that the tax would not prevent the use
of mules without harness, and the
proposition would not be one whit more
absurd than to tax cleo when colored to
make 1t saleable in the same way and
for the same purpose as butter is col
ored to make it saleable.
As matter of fact, the farmers are
not particularly interested in the bill
one way or another. They raise the
material for both butter and oleo
is sold the product is theirs.
In Iowa about nineteen farmers are
raising beef for market to every one
who is making butter to sell, and his
beef industry is usually of far greater
sonal interest of the farmer, the prin-
ciple OF the bill is vicious in that 1t is
class legislation pure and simple;
scheme of one class of producers to de-
stroy another class producing COM
peting article. Very few people in this
country would choose oleo in prefer
ance to dairy butter even at a lower
price, and If the law provided for the
sale of each under its own name no in
Justice would be perpetrated. but to
prohibit the manufacture of one to suit (
a discriminating market while allowing
he same artificial color deception

'air and vicious class legislation no
ess to be censured than the suppress
sion of the mule industry in favor of
he horse breeders by preventing the
mule wearing harness.

REGULATING TELEPHONES.

Des MONIES advices indicate that the
Sweeley telephone bill will come up for
consideration in day or two in i'm
proved form and that it will meet With
greater favor in the house. In a general
way the measure follows the lines of
and gives the railroad commissioners
power to fix rates, with maximum
charges, to direct when and where con-
nections between different companies
shall be made. etc. The aim is to make
it a more useful public utility and to
prevent 1t from exercising features of
monopoly and eNtortion.
The telephone has been long enough
established TO show that it should be
placed upon the same plane as other
business corpora tons for which fran
chises are granted and obviously to the
same public control of rates. The pub
lie will approve of such measure, even
II the companies object.
In establishing the telephone at var
ious points some of the great corpora
tions have exploited all the avenues
OF competition in order to kill off weak
err home companies, and some of them
are still engaged in the freeze-out pro-
cess without frosting any other COM
pany more severely than themselves.
They will probably hasten to show that
the rates they have given their patrons
are not profitable or reasonable and will |
al INTO have them placed at a higher |
notch. The authorities called upon by
this measure to fix the rates will have |
the experience of large number of in
dependent local companies to demons
trate what are reasonable rates. The
companies ought to be permitted to fix
charges that will enable them to pay |
fair dividends on stocks after all ex-
penses are met. In regulating these
rates the Legislature will be doing it in
the interest OF the people and Of the
telephone companies themselves. It will
not only do away with excessive
charges. but enable the companies to
fix fair charges.
