it is Instantly answered by asking,
Why should the country districts con-
tribute to the payment of the cost of
the canal system, when it only benefits
cities? In neither case has the person
asking the question comprehended the
fact that the development of the ca
nails and the development of roads are
both questions Of developing transport
tation, and that the State that is able
to have the cheapest transportation is
the State that controls the commercial
supremacy of the Union, and that both
canal and road development go hand
in hand in enabling New York State
TO maintain its commercial supremacy.
Roughly speaking, of the S10000O,-
900 to be expended upon the Erie Ca
nal. SS5,000,000 is paid by the cities
and s15,000.0o0 by the rural districts.
Roughly speaking, of the $4,000, 900
to be expended for the development of
the highways, fifty per cent, or $685.
000, eco, is to be paid by the State at
large. 100000 is to be paid by the
counties according to the mileage inn
proved in each county, and S7,500000
is TO be paid by the towns according
10 the mileage improved in each town.
Now. of the $25,000O00 to be paid by
the State at large, eighty-fiye per cent,
or So, 250,G0O, will be paid by the
cities and the remainder will be paid
by the rural districts, so that one sees
readily that the rural districts contrib
ute $15,OO0000 for the canals for the
cities, while the cities contribute S22,-
100000 for the roads for the country;
that is, the cities are contributing
S7,250,000 more for the roads than the
country districts are contributing to
the cities for the canals. This is not
an unfair proportion, considering the
greatness of the two propositions.
There has never been any intention OH
the part of the highway conventions,
composed of the Supervisors and the
Highway Commissioners of the State,
to formulate plan for road develop
ment which would be in any way bur-
densome to the cities by increasing
their taxation. The cities inadvert-
emily will benefit largely from road
improvement, because the price of
farm produce will be reduced to the
consumer, because the farmer can
bring double the load in half the time

REBATE EVIL IS "scoTcHED."
Filming Of Beef Packers Has Modify.
ing Effect on Agitation for Rate
REGULATION


Washington, October 24.-The con-
viction and fining of four members
of the firm of Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger last week, for accepting re-
bates, forms the chief topic of dis
cCssion here among the returning
politicians. Praise for the president
and the department. of justice is COM
ing in from all over the country. 1t
appears to be the general opinion that
the rebate evil is effectively scotched.
A successful precedent has been es-
taDl.shed in rebate cases, and here
after, it is alleged, the government s
path will be comparatively easy in OBJ
tain'ns similar convictions if future
cases of this kind arise.
The general belief as to the re.
suit of the firing OF the packers is
optimistic. The current opinion holds
that it viii have an immediate and
lasting effect in curbing those large
shippers who demand determinations
in their favor from the railroads. II
the government is on the alert to
enforce the law and the large shippers
will be fined $4,000 whenever they
are discovered accepting rebates, the
rebate will soon become as defunct as
the great aux. And rapacious shippers
will be further impressed by the fact
that there is every reason to believe
that tho oorvopDy, ont win .soI L. 80
isfed by the payment of "a fine for a
second offense.
The belief grows that the decision
of the United States district court in
Chicago will have a great effect III
modifying the demands of those who
are agitating for rate regulation. Con-
servative opinion in Washington re-.
CARDS the conviction of the packers as
an effective demonstration of the con-
tention that existing legislation is
competent to deal with unjust rate
determinations and as supporting the
view that there is plenty of law on
the statute books. if the government
will only see to its enforcement. Those
who opposed additional railroad legis-
lation before the senate committee on
Interstate commerce at its special
session last spring are pointing to the
fact that they reiterated over and
over again tLat existing laws, active.

A Fozecasf of Skirts.

The skirt of the moment shows many
phases, and just what we are to expect
IN the fall nobody can definitely say.
The resurrection of the old-tinne bell and
umbrella skirts, with slight modifica-
tons is a striking phenomenon in the
sphere of the walking skirt. and is hailed
with pleasure, for the skirt, close over
the hips and ripping at bottom into
graceful though extreme fulness, is the
most attractive walking skirt model that
has ever been devised.
Tunic skirt effects are having a pro-
nounced vogue. although, SO far. only
the famous French makers have ex-
not become common. The bell-shaped
tunic, shortest at the sides and falling
over an underskirt or a deep f1ounce set
on skirt foundation. is the model most
often seen in broad edcloth and other
woods, and variations upon this Idea,
with trimmings of lace, are used for the
sheer materials.
Some OF the models have square cor
ner tunics suit all the way UP the side In
what might be called apron effect and
trimmed with inset lace and lace frills.

HOW TO LHUNDER THIN BI OtlSfS
TO KEEP THEM LIKE NEW

Lingerie bIouses are something like
automobiles-the first expense is large,
but II is only the beginning and both
are 1uxur.es of the rich Automobiles
are always requiring repairs. lingerie
blouses INST constantly be done up. and
ii costs more than fifteen cents to hare
them cleaned. too. The daintier they
are the more perishable, and the aver
ge laundress will ruin them at the first
washing while a laundry Is not to be
considered. Unless one can afford TO
have the most expert French blanchf-
seuse take them they TIust be sent
either to the cleaners or done UP one
self. Having them cleansed as silk
waists are done has to recommend il
the fact that the process keeps them
looking ever new. II is. however. too
expensive for the average girl, as the
work must be done often and costs as
cents or 81 each time.
Labor Saving.
Therefore one might as we'll get her
self into training to be her own laun-
dress as far as her thinnest blouses are
concerned. And right here Is labor
saving idea: Many of the new blouses
are made with deep cuffs If these are
sewed on so they can easily be ripped,
and the cuffs washed witi!out doing the
whole waist much labor will be saved.
It is always the collar and cuffs that
soil first, making the blouse look dingy-
A piece OF ruchlng sewed into the collar
VIII protect the collar edge, and II the
cuffs can be removed and washed alone,
putting them back when fresh. the
whole waist will look nice for little
pains.
When the time comes that the entire
blouse must be washed there are two
"don'ts" always to be borne in mind
The most positive of these Is don't
scrub" for If you do delicate lace and
batiste will go to shreds in a short time.
The other don't IS not to use too much
starch The whole effect of delicacy
will be ruined If the waist is made too
stiff. though equally important IS it that
little shall be used to give dressing.
To wash without injury have ready
some soft soap jelly. This in the end is
