Some time ago when Reggie" Vanderbilt
was returning TO his farm near Newport
after a trip into town he was stopped by an
oficious policeman who declared that he
was speeding his automobile faster than
the local ordinance allowed
you'll have TO come with me, SIR" he
said. and then spying an approaching cy-
cllst. Here, you come along. too"
What do you want of me?" asked the
cyc!ist. dismounting, but ready 10 protest,
nevertheless.
II want you as a witness 10 prove this
automobile was going more than twelve
miles an hour when Il passed you"
You can't prove that by me-" replied
the wheelman. who was in a hurry ''It
was doing nothing OF the kind"
"All right" grumbled the policeman "Go
aheadg'
Not much" shouted Mr.. Vanderbilt
Hes my witness now" And after a mo-
ments hesitation the nonplused officer who
saw that his case was lost. allowed both
young Vanderbilt and the unknown eyclist
20 proceed on their way.

Finds Fault with the Laws.

a. c. Bird, traffic director of the Gould
lines, when asked to explain what he meant
by statement at the banquet of the Illi-
nois Manufacturers Association to the ef-
feet that the existing system of railroad
regulation was inefficient and unjust, said
tha he would admit that railroad cor
poration is a quasi-public servant, and as
such should be regulated by law, but, like
any other corporation, its property rights
should be fully protected by the govern
ment. Under the present form of railroad
regulation everything is subordinated to Sc
curing and maintaining equitable and sta
BILE rates. which Is what the business world
demands and which is specifically pro-
hibited by LAW. Railroads must pay Tor
what they uso, and for this privilege must
submit to stringent and contradictory leg
islation, and unfortunately, when the time
for action comes political exigencieS doml-
nate and politics rather than commercial
necessities give direction to legislation" :"
Mr.. Bird then pointed out the inconsistent
cies. as he saw them, of the existing stat
ute regulating transportation. Look at
the railroad map OF the United states,
said he. see how roads cross each other
al every conceivable angle, how they paral-
lei each other, see how many running In
opposite directions reach finally the same
points, and then say IL it's possible. with
conference and agreement between compet-
ing companies TO adjust rates equitable for
ali of the thousands of cities and towns and
prevent unbearable conditions; yet such
agreements are punishable by fine. i'm
prisonment, or both. The original inter-
state-commerce act prohibited secret or
any other form of unjust discrimination,
and required all rates to be relatively rea-
sonable, and pooling or other means OF
agreement between rail- carriers calculated
to insure stability of rates and prevent
wholesale territorial discrimination was
prohibited. The long and short haul pro-
vision was the very opposite of the anti
pooling clause and levied an immense tax
against any road engaging in business at
competitive points. 1t certainly seems to
me that IL must occur to any one who gives
the question careful study that the laws
bearing upon transportation would be a
tremendous farce were they not national
tragedy"

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-01-27

We have just received a copy of an
extensive book on bees-The A B @
of Bee Culture-published by The
A. I. Root Co., of Medina, Ohio. On
looking it through we find hal it is
a 1908 edition, and that the writer's,
A. L. and E. R. Root, aim to put out
a new edition every year or so, which
therefore contains every new appli-
ance and method up to date. We
r much pleased with the plan of
this textbook. Instead of having
the work divided off into chapters or
parts, it is in the form of an ency-
clopedia, or, in other words, each
subject is taken up in alphabetical
order. For instance, if one desires
to know how to winter bees he sim
ply turns to "Wintering," and finds
there all the different methods fully
described and illustrated. The illus
trations r nearly all half-tone
cravings, made from the fine photo
graphs taken in all parts of the
United States.
We are very glad to recommend
this book to any of our readers who
are interested in this big subject of
bees and Bookkeeping.
