WATER ASSURED
Amarillo Water, Light s. Power
Company Decide to Develop
Water Source.

AT a recent meeting of the direc-
tors of the Amarillo Water, Light
and Power Company it was decided
to develop the present water sourc-
es and bring the system up to a
point to meet the rapidly increas-
ing needs for more water.
Manager Chase in speaking of
the meeting yesterday said that it
was the purpose and desire of the
company to extend and enlarge the
present capacity 50 that there
would be no scarcity of water what
ever and to bring about this end
the company would shortly COM
mence the work of developing the
present water source to meet this
requirement.
He was asked if any other i'm
provements in the system generally
were contemplated and replied that
nothing further than what was re-
CURED to give the city a first class
service in every particular.
Jno. II. Dryden of Pittsburg,
Pa, treasurer of the company, was
here the latter part of last week
and expressed himself as being well
pleased with the promising out
look for Amarillo. He thinks that
Amarillo has a great future as a
Texas metropolis and predicts even
a more rapid growth of the town
for the coming year than for the
past twelve months. He returned
to his home in Pittsburg Saturday
evening.

There seems to be in the minds
of a considerable number of people,
a question regarding the location
of the boundary line separating
Texas from New Mexico. This
line, which was established by the
Clark survey and plainly marked
with monuments, was confirmed by
an act of Congress in 1891, and
also by an act of the Texas state
legislature, so there can be no
doubt as to its location. The mon
uments which mark this boundary
line, are easily found, having been
repeatedly visited by Capt. A. D.

to our naturalization laws are deserving Of

naturalization mills in our large cities just

GoVERNuR MICKEY AND THE POLICE
RnIRn

GOHEHNOR MIChE1 AND THE -POLICE
BOARD,
The only excuse for clothing the gov
ernor with the power to appoint boards
of fire and police commissioners for
cities Of the metropolitan class was to
exercise the police powers of the state
more efficiently for the enforcement OF
law and order than would be possible
where the police force is subject to local
political influence in the discharge of it's
duties. The object of the law that con-
fers upon the governor-appointed police
commission the powers to license, super
wise and control the liquor traffic within
the city was chiefly designed to divorce
the city council from saloon politics and
place the responsibility for the surveil-
lance of saloons with the same authority
that supervises the police.
In exercising the power of appointing
police commissions the governor natur-
ally becomes responsible for the conduct
of his appointees and the discharge of
their official functions and the policy
they pursue as an excise board, Just as
he is held responsible for the manage
ment of state institutions. The gov
ernor, for example. appoints the warden
and deputy wardens of the peniten-
tiaries and the superintendent of state
reformatories for incorrigible boys and
girls He is justly held responsible by
the people for the good or bad conduct
OF his appointees and the treatment OF
convicts or refractory minors in those
institutions.
Governor Mickey's attitude in connec-
ton with the Omaha police commission,
namely, that any policy 1t may see At
to pursue in the supervision OF the liquor
traffic has his. approval, is contrary to
the intent of the law and in subversion
of good government.
Governor Mickey labors under the de-
fusion that his relation to the police COM
mission differs in no respect with his
relation TO the sheriff OF Douglas county
and the mayor OF Omaha who are
charged with the maintenance OF law
and order under the statutes and city
charter. Both of these officers are
elected by the people and their removal
can be only by impeachment or indict
ment The governor cannot even sus
pend them for misdemeanors or failur,
to perform their official duties. whereas
the police commission are his creatures
subject TO bis direction and removable
by him for neglect OF duty or willfu
disregard OF the laws.
1t is the plain duty of the governor e
instruct the police commission as to tn,
policy they are to pursue with regard Il
the licensing of saloons in conjunction
with or in proximity to disordeFly re
sorts. II is his duty to instruct the pc
lice board TO divorce the liquor train
} from indecency by refusing licenses 4
all saloons dependent for their patronag
) upon habitual outlaws That duty b
cannot shirk by expressing confidence
, in the integrity and judgment Of hi
commission.

PROFITS AND THE SQUARE DEAL.
why Railroad Managers should Sup.
port Rate Regulation.
Kansas City Star.


Railroad men are not essentially differ
ent from other classes of business men.
At least, most of them would prefer to
conduct their affairs honestly and above
board IL that policy were as profitable, or
believed to be as profitable as evading
the law in order to get business" Yet
it is surprising how few of the men en-
gagged in the railroad business have come
out openly in favor of such laws as would
enforce fair play among transportation
companies and between these corporations
and all the shippers. 1t is particularly
gratifying, therefore, to note the position
of MIR. Walter Chadwick Moves, president
OF the New London Northern Railroad
company, in his book issued under the
title of American Railroad Rates" The
keynote 10 Mr.. Noyes book is found in
this excerpt
THE obligation of the railroads under
existing conditions TO unite in the move
ment for conservative legislation is as clear
as the necessity for such legislation. The
railroads should perceive that they are not
merely private corporations--that their in
terests are bound up with those OF the
public. Instead of assailing all propositions
of rate regulation, they should join In an
effort to ascertain that which is most Judi
cious. That railroad official serves the in
terests of his stockholders best in the long
run who never fails to appreciate the
rights of the people A contented public
along its lines Is the best asset of a railroad
company.
The real secret Of railway discrimination
is the distrust that railroad men have for
one another. In only one instance has there
been a public showing OF the cost to the
railroads in the rebating system. Wiscon-
sin. in the course of a general tax investi-
cation, found that the railroads, in that
state alone, and in a period OF a little more
than Ave years, paid to favored Shippers
a naggregate OF 100000 In concessions
If the average per state was 81 ,0OO, 600 per
year. that would be a total of $450o).OOO per
year. paid to big shippers alone, and the
probabilities are that the total is consider.
ably in excess OF this amount, and this il
only a part OF the losses through dis
elimination. Railroads favor the bigger
shipping centers, just as they 10 the big
shippers.
| Now all OF these concessions are either 9
dead loss or the losses are offset by ex.
cessve charges to small shippers and small
communities. 1t either case the railroad.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The management of the Pennsylvania
railroad has decided to issue no more
passes after the first of next year. The
whole system is to be abolished and the
general wipe-out is to include every one
except employees Of the road. An official
OF the road is quoted as saying that the
issuing Of passes has been so much
abused that the ACCESSIBILITY of abolish
ing the whole business has been under
consideration for several years and he
expressed the opinion that the position
taken by the company will have its eff
feet on other railroads and that il will
not be long until others take the same
action. He stated that political and So
cial considerations are not to count, the
decision applying to all legislative, con-
gressional and judicial passes-in fact,
every sort of free transportation, no
matter for what purpose, and no matter
who is involved. The action is final and
all-embracing and there will be no ex-
ceptions.
1t is a good example and it is not to
be doubted that the Pennsylvania COM
pany will faithfully adhere to it's ac-
ton. Unquestionably it will, find it
profitable to do So besides being relieved
of a great deal of annoyance from pass
seekers. That other roads viii follow
can be safely assumed.
