EDITORIAL OPINION
simplifyinu Railway Travel,

Simplifying Railway Travel.
From the New York Press.
English railroad men are carefully
studying American methods OF passenger
travel and Il Is predicted that In a short
time class distinctions viii disappear from
lnsular systems. Some English roads have
already abolished sccond-class coaches re-
tanning the first and third classes; and
now Il Is rumored that the Midland Rail-
way contempiates dropping it's irst-class
accommodation, leaving passenger SER
vice of only one class This could hardly
fail to provoke great outcry, ana cause
"a vast amount Of Indignation and dlscom-
fort IN a wealthy country like England
where so many people are willing to
pay for elbow room and exclusiveness.
The substitution OF one class for the three
80 long In vogue would reduce operating
expenses tremendously. First-class pas
songers constitute only about two per
cent of the travel at present while first
class coaches represent twenty-five per
cent OF the weight Of the average train
and thirty per cent. Of the cost OF work
Ing The money received for first-class
fares Is less than four per cent Of the
total passenger receipts.

Ialso a reduction in the salaries or fees
paid to certain county officers. We do
not doubt that It is possible to reduce
the county tax rate much below what
it is at present II the same methods
are employed as cne would use in his
private business.
In municipal affairs a revolution is
needed. The machinery OF government
rs too cumbersome. There are too
many duplicates, too many salaries. too
many leaks. A mayor and his cabinet
.and a small Council should be entrust-
ed with the government Commissions
may be good or bad, but they are ex-
pensive Instead Of three commissions
,of three members each. with separate
clerks and engineers, there should be
three directors with one engineer and
his assistants and fewer clerks. Under
proper conduct thousands OF dollars
could be saved to the taxpayers every
year, and the Mayor would then be
The Responsible head OF affairs.
State reforms along the same lines
are needed. Salaries should be paid
instead Of fees and extravagant pay
ments cut or. The wisdom Of these re-
forms is perfectly obvious. There is as
great danger from paying. too large
salaries as from paying too small A
salary all out Of proportion to the SER
Vices required IS apt to be paid to one
who has secured his onice by methods
that viii not bear scrutiny. This is a
matter that means dollars and cents
to every citizen.

that true economy I'm buying roof paint
is to get the best. The best roof paint
is the Pure Iron Oxide Roof Paint. made
by James NJ. Bryan, and a good guide for

any roof paint sold under a private label
or that has no name upon the label. for
no straight, good paint is sold that way.
