HEARST RAILROAD RATE BILL
Van Duzer Says Public Demands Its
Salient Points Must Be Adopted.

"The two pressing political questions
before the country to-day relate
to the regulation of railroad rates
and municipal ownership of public
utilities. The widespread agitation all
over the Union for reasonable and just
railroad rates for every man, be he
poor or rich. also certainly means the
end. sooner or later, of railroad discrimi-
nation in favor of the few" So spoke
Congressman Van Duzer to an Examiner
reporter in San Francisco last week.
Demand of the People.
"The House of representatives.. con-
tinued Mr.. Van Duzer. certainly is in
favor of fair bill to regulate railroad
rates. The Senate's position is not so
favorable to the people, but it seems to
me that it must also fall into line in
view of the imperative demand of the
people for relief from the many existing
railroad traffic abuses. In many local..
ties, like the Middle and Middle West
States, this agitation is very acute. and
the people are in no frame Of mind to
submit to halfway Legislation or to ac-
cept a measure that simply has the ap-
pearance of relief without the sub
stance.
II have pretty thoroughly sounded
the temper of number of communities
ON this subject, and have talked with
quite number Of the members of Con.
gress about the matter. In that way.
l have come to the conclusion that the
Hearst bill for the regulation of railroad
rates is what is demanded, and if that
bill is not finally approved it is certain
that the public will not be satisfied uu-
less whatever bill is adopted by Con.
gress contains the salient features of
the Hearst bill.
"And why? Because the Hearst bill
goes to the very root of the trouble.
The public wants two things settled.
Frs. there must be reasonable rates
without any discrimination of any de-
gree or kind to anybody; second, once
rate is decided to be fair, the people
want it enforced against any particular
road or system of roads without delay.
The Hearst bill embraces these two
vital features, the heart and core of
proper solution of the entire trouble.
That is why the Hearst bill is in the
interests of the people and why a law
without its main points will not satisfy
the people of the United States.
Rate to South Africa.
"In Nevada there are a great many
abuses in the way of railroad rates that
a measure like the Hearst bill would
correct. In Reno there is an establish
ment which manufactures Huntington
crushers for mines. Numbers of these
machines are shipped to mines in
Rhodesia, South Africa. Well, would
you believe it, those Huntington crush
ers are shipped from Reno to South
Africa for less rate than is charged to
ship them from Reno to Goldfield, an
other Nevada town."

merit and interest The part for which

sculpture from Roman times through the
Middle Ages to the Renaissance. On reach

place of description and, where picture

exaggerated
Even in the parts which he treats most
deliberately Mr.. Maskel seems to follow
favorite lines in certain countries rather
than to cover the whole field. This may be
due to deficiencies in the collections he has
studied. For Oriental, Chinese and Japa-
nese carvings he has little to say.
Few objects could bear reproduction in
illustrations better than these worries, and

The reason is that he has little sympathy

work is respectable, but oveNstimated.

Sir Charles Dukes story or His VIE

The chief interest in The Book Of tho
Spiritual Life by the late Lady Dixie &c. P
Button 4 Coz will he found in the memoir
OF the author by her husband the Right
Hon. Sir Charles W. Dixie, Bart. Though
she wrote some creditable books on French
art about which she knew a good deal, it
was not as a writer that Lady Dixie was
chiefly known, but az power in English
society. rs Mrs, Mark Pnttison no less than
as the wife of her second husband.
Sir Charles writes Of her in the most
reverent tone. as ia only the due of the
woman who stood up for him in the moment
OF his most shameful disgrace. He tries
TO he as impersonal as possible by simply
enumerating her successive efforts and
accomplishments. The result ia peculiar.
We form the impression of pushing.
energetic masterful woman Of type
very common in America. which often
breaks out on the woman's rights platform.
She cannot lave been precisely pleasant
in her strenuous art student days, but she
gave up art at twenty-one to marry Mark
Pattison.
As his wife she made Lincoln College
social center at Oxford and at the same
time managed to do an astonishing amount
OF writing. After she married Dixie she
went into the woman's rights movement and
trade unioaism, She was intensely am BIZ
tious for social and political position.
The essays selected for publication by
her husband are well written. as might be
expected from one who had contributed
t. periodicals for many years. but are re-
narkable neither for originality nor for
thought Possibly more revelation Of the
woman might have explained them; the
memoir, as it is written, certainly does not
lead up TO them. 1t is still on her writings
on French art that Lady Dilkes literary
reputation must rast.
