As TO BINDING TWINE.

'9This paper" says the Hiawatha
World, would like some well in
formed person to show when and how
the state Irvine plant reduced the
price of binding Irvine elsewhere than
on Irvine made by the state. The tax
payers pay the difference between the
price state Irvine is sold for and the
price trust Irvine is sold for. The
price of trust Irvine is not affected by
the price of the state product
Let's see about that The summer
before the state plant was established
the price charged by the trust for
Irvine was fourteen cents a pound, and
the price was advancing each year.
The first year the state plant was in
operation the penitentiary directors
experimental by placing the Irvine on
the market at eleven cents a pound.
The trust abused the state Irvine and
decried it all they could, but they had
to cut their price to within a cent of
the state price. In the establishment
of the state plant there was neces-
sarily more or less friction and expert
mentation. but it was so successful
that the price has been lowered until
it has run from s Il to 9 " cents dur
ing the last two or three years, aver
aging probably nine cents. The trust
price has averaged perhaps a cent
more than this.
Counting the average at ten cents a
pound, saving of four cents a pound
has been effected for the farmer.
Kansas uses approximately fourteen
million pounds of Irvine year, ac-
cording to the best estimates. Count
ing saving of four cents a pound,
this makes a total of $56O,O00 saved
every year to the Kansas farmer in
the price of Irvine. The state Irvine
plant cost $4,000 originally, and it
has made the state several thousand
dollars profit each year. in addition to
bringing down the price of Irvine.
That is the way it has cost the tax
payers money

NE MOODY oPTNToN.

A document Of uncommon interest
is the opinion of Attorney General
Moody concerning the right of con-
gress to confer upon the interstate
commerce commission the power to
FIX rates, which is published today.
This opinion was given in response to
a request from Senator Elkins. chair
man of the senate committee on inter-
state commerce. which is now taking
evidence along the line of railroad
regulation.
The problem of railway regulation
will be the big one before the special
session of congress which President
Roosevelt has called for next October,
and the whole fight will hinge on the
advisability OF comforting on the inter
state commerce commission the power
to fix maximum freight rates. It is
one of the greatest. if not the very
greatest, problems that has come be-
fore congress in recent years.
The opinion of Attorney General
Moody, which will, Of course, guide
President Roosevelt in making his
fight for railroad regulation, is of great
importance and will have a very ma
terial bearing on the subject. It is not
likely that it is the opinoin of Mr..
Moody alone, but it is probable that
he has consulted with other eminent
lawyers and this opinion is the result.
Mr.. Moody is very positive and
clear in his opinion that legislatures
have the power to fix transportation
rates for common carriers in their re-
spective states, provided such rates
are just and reasonable, and that con-
gress has the same power regarding
interstate rates. Mr.. Moody further
points out that legislative bodies do not
have the time to attend to the details
of fixing these rates, and these duties
can therefore be put upon an admins
trative commission created for that
purpose.
The power to make rates cannot,
however, be conferred upon a court, in
Mr. Moody's opinion, and in this con-
nection he cites the case Of the Kan
sas court of visitation, which was de-
clared invalid by the federal court.
The courts, have, however, the power
to review the rates by legislative bodies
and determine whether they are con-
fscatory, and if so. to enjoin their en-
forcement.
The one important point which the
opinion does not touch on clearly is
whether the rates can be put into i'm
mediate operation, Notwithstanding an
appeal to the courts, or whether they
may be temporarily enjoined pending
the decision as to their fairness. This
is an extremely important matter, and
it is a point on which there will be
clash. The Esch-Townsend bill pro-
vides that rates may be held in abey-
ance pending their adjudication by the
courts, while the more radical members
Of congress insist that they shall re-
main in operation until the transporta-
ton companies prove that they are
conhscatory. The Esch-Townsend pro-
vision, it is argued, would allow the
railroads to question every rate and
hold it aloof for months, and perhaps
for years, while litigation is in pro-
gress. This would give the transpor-
tation companies a distinct advantage,
while an immediate enforcement pro-
vision would give the people the ad
vantage and would discourage appeals
to the courts for the sole purpose Of

at the last it biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder. Proverbs 1882.
A little over a decade ago there was
a lawyer in a northern Kansas town
who was one the brightest men in that
part of the state. He came to Kan
sas as a coal miner about the time he
attained his majority, but while work
ing in the little mines at Minersville,
Cloud county, he began to study law
and was finally admitted to the bar.
In very few years he was conceded
to be one of the best lawyers in north
ern Kansas. He entered politics and
became the political leader of his
county. He held a federal job for
several years and was a power in the
Fifth congressional district
He was a man of uncommon ability
and shrewdness, and if he had kept
straight Tom Wrong would have IN
doubtedly been one of the big men of
Kansas. He had it in him to make his
mark and to take high place among
men. But he wouldn't let liquor alone
He made all the business he could for
the distilleries, and he burned up his
brain with alcohol. He went the way
of all drunkards.
While he was a struggling young
lawyer he won a handsome and &C
| complished girl for his wife and two
bright little girls were born to them.
He got to drinking so much that his
wife could no longer live with him and
she was compelled to leave him. He
had made considerable money, but he
/ lost 1t. He lost his health, his reputa-
ton and his friends, in addition to his
wealth and the love and respect of his
wife.
-Four or five years ago he left Kan
sas and went south to begin anew. The

cordia received the following tele-
