People express surprise that Hearst
could hope to buy presidential nomina-
tion, but Why should they: Has he not
been able to purchase everything he
wanted! Has be not had reason to b.
lieve that, il he made his checks big
enough, no ono would refuse TO prostitute
talents to his service: He has unblush-
ingly bought unblus6hg college profes-
sors. Clereymen have been taken by tho
jingling OF his guinea; % Why should it
q t occur 10 him to extend bis mercenary
operations and buy mp the necessary
delegates? We are glad. however, to
record one instance in which his impu-
dence got . merited rebuke. Mr.. Walter
Wellman tells the story in his Washing
ton correspondence. 1t seems that
Hearst offered COL Watterson $25.OOO to
spend the winter at the capital and write
occasional letters to Hearst's paper.
The Louisville editor declined a. politely
as possible. But it seemed incredible to
Hearst that he had actually found man
who could not be bought, and soho re-
neved and pressed the offer again and
again. Finally, Mr.. Watterson reached
for bis pen and wrote:
Dear r:-You haven enough money
in your family, and never will have, to
induce me to write ono line for you."

PRODUCERS TAXED.

According to tho report OF the In
terstate Commsrce Oommission for tho
year ending June sOth 1908, nail
way companies operating ss per cont
OF the entire mileage in the United
States had gross earnings OF 81. $780,
10. .679. o. on IN average Of q. .S8s. 90
per mile Of line. Their operating OK
pensss aggregated 81. .348. SO. 49,. 90 on
IN average of %, l97. 90 per mile. lesv-
ing not earnings of >s4l, CSC. 1876. 90 or
g. lS5. 90 per mile. Tho taxes OF these
companies amounted to nearly $5S,-
OOO, ,OO0. 20. Compared with the pre-
vious year tho net earnings sro greater
BY some ~. .OOO. .0O0. 90 and tho amount
paid i'm dividends on stock greater BY
nearly 9. .6O0. 900. 90. Notwithstand.
ing the many cancellations of rsil-
road property within the last few
years which tho managers OF railroads
have aid would decrease the cost Of
transportation. there has beon q
steady advance in freight rates. The
Elkins law which became effective In
February. 1908. while it accomplished
much In the way Of stopping unjust
discrimination, and causing . strict
adherence to published rates did not
give additional authority to tho com.
mission for reducing rates or prevent.
ing the railroads from missing them.
To show Whist slight adavnce.maans
when applied to the immense volume
OF business done, We quote the follow
ing from tho Oommission's report
''An Increase of but 10 cents per ton
in the coal rates OF the entire
country. would mean moro than
s25, ,O0O. 900 annually, and the actual
ad:ance has been much moro than
this. Daring the year ending Juno 80.
1902. rsilroads transported in
round numbers 1900, 600 tons Of
freight. The increase of . single cent
par ton in the transportation charge
from the point of origin to the point
Of delivery would amount to $l2. 600. .
600 co." The commission further
points ont that the advance in rates
WAS put In force by all the railroads
et practically tho same time. showing
concerted action BY them and that this
advance Wa6 not mads at the request
Of traffic manaRers, but BY the financial
managers. who arbitrarily imposed
this additional tax on the producers
aud shippers OF the country in order
70 pay stockholders fatter dividends.
While railroad manaRers claim that
the cost OF operation has increased.
It 10 true on the other hand that
greater economies in operation. to-
gother with IN enormous increase Of
the traffic, have diminished the cost
OF operasioa. The prolucars of the
