A Bit Inconsistent.

Senator Hoar recently delivered an ad.
dress on Washington in which he urged
his hearers to fight against taxation
without representation and to oppose
the subjugation of a weaker race. He
also denounced lust of empire and con-
quest by Americans. Aud yet il one
of Mr.. doar's auditors had asked him if
men should refuse to vote the republi-
can ticket, it IS not at all unlikely tina:

NationaIized Railroads.

The United States Investor. a Journ-
al published at Philadelphia. of nation
| al reputation. in a recent number
contained the following. These are
excerpts taken from articles discussing
the problem at length:
There ID unquestionabIy a growing
sentiment in favor of government con-
troll. springing from widespread be-
lief that railroad determinations are In
very large measure responsible for the
enormous growth Of industrial monop-
oily in this country. This belief was
freely vented at the hearings given by
the Industrial Commission several
years ago. In fact. the Industrial
Commission itself seemed to entertain
this view, for we find it. summing up
its conclusions in the following Ian
guage: ut is Incontestable, that many
of the great industrial combinations
bad their origin in railroad discrimi-
nation. This has been emphasized many
times In the history of the Standard
Oil Company and OF the great mo
nopolies dealing in livestock. dressed
beef and other products. These facts
are matters of past history"
+
1t is from this point of view Of The
community's interest that we are now
looking at the question of railroad
transportation; and this is as good an
opportunity as any ether to emphasize
the fact, that when the private inter
ests that are bound up in the railroads
clash with public interest the former
not the latter-must give way.
We have so far shown that the rail.
roads are the public highways of the
nations; that the control of them is
function of the State, private owner
ship merely representing the delegation
of its function by the State from mo-
tlves of expediency, the State having
moral and legal right to assume full
control when ever it deems such
course advisable; and that the tendency
has been for the pri vate owners to ex-
ercise the function delegated to them
by the State in manner detrimental
to public interests. These are the facts
in the situation, and we suspect that
no one will have the temerity to CUES.
ton them.
Another problem is that raised in
connection with the influence of poll.
tics on the management OF the rail-
roads, IN the event of government
ownership. This subject we must
dismiss, for the time being, with the
single statement that very much that
is said on this point by the opponents
of gov ernment ownership strikes us as
puerile. and as having no warrant in
the fact of experience.
The principle back OF the old cry,
"Liberty, equality, fraternity" is rap.
idly ceasing to be an operative princl-
pie in the American republic; and
among the Causes which haye contrlbut-
ed powerfully to this result, may un-
questionably be cited the railroad pol

ton of mOnopolies and class distinc-

individual initiative on the part of the
mass of the people. The situation is a
serious One,-sO serious, in fact, as to
make the question of Matchmaking the
railroads one of the most pressing which
now confronts the great American ma.

The city paid for its water system
a little less than four years ago two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
1t is now proposed by Engineer Weile
that the city pay nearly as much
more for a gravity system having its
source in upper Mill creek. That
would mean an additional cost of
nearly twenty dollars for eyerv
man, woman and child in this city of
twelve thousand people and a total
cost for each inhabitant Of about
forty dollars. For a family of five
this would mean total cost of about
two hundred dollars for the right to
buy water at so much a month. At
that rate water will come higher than
beer.

LEGISLATIVE ETHICS

John H. Clarke, nominated for sena
tor by the democrats of Ohio, conclud
ed a recent speech with his striking
promise:
Il promise you that, if am elected
to the senate Of the United States
before l take my seat l shall dispose
of every share of stock and of every
business interest the value of which
can be affected by my vote in the
senate This is no mere ante-election
promise, but is simply saying that
will adopt the standard Of conduct
that was familiar with members of the
United States senate prior to fifty
years ago, before that body had be
come commercialized and sordid, as
we see it so largely is today"
These ntterances present in the
concrete proposition Of vital concern
in the politics of today. The ideal
legislator would be a philosopher, in
the sense in which the term is fire.
quently used in metaphysics; a man
of absolutely calm and dispassionate
preference for truth, to whom truth
was guidance, always, finally; man
of perfect judicial mind.
The man who is not Influenced by
interest is rare. There are few rare
individuals capable of divorcing their
own interests and following and acc-
ing upon abstract conceptions Of
official is separated from the man. But
self-interest more often Obtrudes as
a temptation, and when it does it
either controls the action or invali-
dates the judgment Of the individual.
In resisting the temptation the over
weeningly honest individual may err
against his judgment. II is possible
to conceive a man, sensitively organ
lied and imperfectly balanced, who
might vote against his interests be-
cause he lacked the courage TO ell
dOrse convictions which conceded
with his interests. incidentally, it
may be remarked that our national
and state and municipal legislatures
do not appear to suffer from a preva-
lence of this weak sort of character
Unhappily they do contain many men
who err in the opposite direction.
Just how far the principle which
Mr.. Clarke's utterances illustrate
cbo11ld ha carried Is hard To COW All
property interests are affected in one
way or another by legislation, and
the manner in which they may be af-
fected is known. This far the princi-
pie should be absolute: when an III
terest is Indirectly affected" the in
terested legislator should not vote
this N accordance with the standard
of conduct which, Mr.. Clarke says.
was familiar half a century ago-and
if the interest, of the legislator in
a given piece Of legislation can be
shown his vote should be nullifed
ipso facto
To say, however, that lawmakers
shall possess no stock in corporate
concerns and no business interests
which may be affected by Legislation
is to impose an impossible require.
ment-unless We should materially
increase salaries and give life careers
so that legislators might be justified
in foregoing all other pursuits and in.
terests whatsoever.

springs and there is no good reason
why this source of supply might not
now be used in connection with the
Thomas springs. During the Roberts
administration and the Betz admins
rration the option on Rifle springs
was renewed from year to
year. and although it has been allow
ed to expire, it could probably be re
newed on reasonable terms.
1t is now proposed to use wooden
stave pipe for the gravity main and
this is much cheaper than the iron
pipe figured on by Engineer Kier
sted. The entire cost of laying a
gravity main from the Thomas springs
and the Rifle springs, including the
cost of a capacious reservoir and OF
new distributing mains within the
CITY should not exceed one hundred
thousand dollars. This additional
amount of bonded Indebtedness the
increased water revenues OF the city
resulting from the supply of additions
to the city now dependent upon well
water would carry with ease without
adding a dollar to the direct taxation
of property.
The city would also save the cost
of a new fire engine and other appar
atus that will not be needed under a
gravity system.
The Statesman would respectfully
refer these suggestions to the mayor
and city council for consideration at
their next meeting.

THE WATER PROBLEM.

well. what are you going to DO
about it? We must have more water
and if We don't adopt Weile's plan of
taking it from Mill creek, where can
We get ito"
Such queries as these are heard
quite frequently in street discussions
regarding the solution of the water
problem with which the city is now
confronted Among conservative bust
ness men the Statesman learns that
the plan most in favor is for the city
to make use of what water it can Sc
cure at Thomas and neighborins
springs in addition to the present sup
ply, and if the necessity should ever
arise in the future TO extend the gray
ity main up Mill creek when the city 5
growth in wealth and population will
justify the heavy expense that would
be involved. Engineers Weile and
Miller have expressed the opinion
that the flow of water in the city S
pipes on the Thomas ranch could be
greatly increased by sinking the pipes
deeper and laying them in a direction
corresponding with the slope of Mill
creek 1t is possible that by proper
development of this source of supply
water enough could be found TO meet
all the demands Of the city for some

not be adequate for all purposes there
should be some plan by which the
pressure that this flow would give
might be used to furnish water to the
supplied and to furnish fire protection
in The business part Of the city. Otn-
er parts of the city could get along
very we'll under the old system.
Engineer Weile's investigation was
too hastily made to convince the peo-
pie of this city that an adequate sup
ply of water from a Subterranean
source cannot be found few miles
above the city. Other hydraulic engi-
neers fully as competent as Mr.. Weile
have in the past given assurance that
an abundant supply for a gravity sys-
TEN could be developed from the
springs a few miles up the creek But
even If Mr.. Weile is right in his CON
illusions the city is not now in cOndi-
ton to undertake the enormous eX-
pense of building according to any of
the plans that he has laid before the
council. His cheapest plan would
cost the city nearly two hundred thou
