Interest Rate For Poor

Said a speaker at the Credit Mems banquet in Chi
cago: ut is a tragedy that the rich man can borrow
hundreds of thousands for 3 per cent and the poor man Is
forced to pay 800 per cent" Nevertheless il is a tragedy
in real life constantly enacted. 1t is one of the features
of our society. To equalize conditions it ought to be so
that the poor man could borrow as cheaply as the rich
man. But under our system interest rates are based
on credit. The poor man has but little credit and he
must pay for the lack.
And if he lacks credit he must have collaterals,
some tangible property to back up his loan. The poor
man lacks collaterals. Perhaps all he has is comprised
in a few sticks of cheap furniture. And when he goes
to borrow on this meager showing the loan agent de-
mands a big interest in order to cover the risk. If the
loan agent is a shark he demands a rate which amounts
to csnhscation of the poor mans goods. The tender
mercies of the loan shark are cruel.
Some day philanthropists will turn their attention
to the poor mans need and found loan Offices, especially
in the cities where the need is pressing, at which the
worthy poor may borrow modest sums at a reasonable
rate of interest, There could be no better field for bust
ness philanthropy. But some of the European countries
have found a wiser way. The pawn shops are run by
the government, to the mutual advantage of the govern
ment and the poor.

COMPLAIN SALOONS

Police Hear ''RumOrS'' but

ing force as it progresses from other
malcontents. until the air seems to be
filed with cries Of stop them, or else

The origin Of the complaint can be
traced to q certain saloon keeper.
Whether what he says is authentic is
not known. for the reason that neither
he nor those who have echoed his
belief, nave seen fit to appear before
the authorities and lodge q com
plant.
Chief McMillin said this morning
that he had heard of these "rumors.''
Il know of no places that are selling
liquor on Sunday. If these parties are

violating the law, why don't they file
a complaint. We are here to enforce
the law, but we can do no'hing On.

Why Railroads Oppose
Presidents Rate PLAN
From %Phnadelphla North American.

The president asks congress to give the Interstate
Commerce Commission power 10 direct the manner and
form in which railroad accounts shall be kept, and to
inspect the accounts at it's pleasure.
No wonder the companies are %yehemently against
the PRESIDENT If the secrets of some railroad book
keeping could be revealed, we should probably have dis
closures by the side Of which the life insurance reyela-
tions in New York would seem like the innocent games
of a kindergarten The railroad history in the United
states is largely a history of crime; and man. a fine rep
utation would be furnished if it could be read in large
letters by public examination Of accounts.
One of the crimes most frequently perpetrated is to
use the power of the common carrier to help one shipper
to destroy the business of other shippers. This Rookie
Teller method of piracy has nourished for many years;
and it is in operation at the present time. If congress
shall do its duty, the bold and able man in the White
House will stop it, and for good and all.
VIII congress do its duty? The house almost as
suredly will. Despite the fact that the representatives
have their pockets stuffed with unlawfully issued passes,
and that every man of them in accepting passes has ac-
cepted a retainer from the companies, we believe the
house will adopt such a bill as the president and the
people want. The next congressional election is but a
year away, and there are few representatives who like
to think of facing an angry constituency in September
and October of next year.
The obstruction will be in the senate. There st
dozens of the Representatives of the railroad companies.
There is Chauncey Depew, with the money of the Equita-
BILE policy holders in his pocket and the ensign of the
New York Central railroad on his front. There sits
Thomas c. Plat, of the United States Express company
and Foraker, of Ohio, a railroad ridden and boss-enthrall-
ed state. There sit many other men who owe their pres
ence in the loftiest legislative body in the world to cor
poration influence. and who will serve the corporations
first and the people last.
The senate will be reluctant and recalcltrant and
ugly; but, sooner or later, it must surrender. The whole
nation is behind the president; a nation that has borne
with the insolence and brigandage of the transportation
companies until the wrong has become actually intoler-
able. The American people intend TO bring the railroads
into ephiactfOp. II lau n m haya fair MAY III 1hEn-
lutte rue; and as they are stronger than the companies,
they will surely win in the long run.

P~raisworthy Proposal

DIR. Nathan f. Boyd, of Las Cruces, has written two
communications aDent his generous proposal, made 10 the
national irrigation congress, which convened in FL PasO
in November, 1904. One is addressed to u. b. Holt, pres
ident Of the Elephant Butte Water Users association OF
New Mexico, and the other is addressed to. Felix Mar
of Texas.
In both Of these DIR, Boyd repeats and emphasizes
the statements made by him, both at FL Paso and Las
Cruces, of his Willingness, on behalf Of the defendants,
TO have dismissed the suit involving the United States
and his company as to the prior rights Of mis- company
20 construct the Elephant Butte irrigation system. The
suit referred 10 has been in existence for many years
y The proposal OF Or, Boyd " a remarkably generous
one and evidently dictated alone by a public spirit which
finds its only reward in the good of his community. This
altogether unusual manifestation of public spirit was
fully dwelt upon by the press Of FL Paso and this city,
when It was first made public, a little more than a year
ago.

lining of the clouds about your life.
Cheer up. Your ills are mostly imaginary AS the
old woman said, she had worried all her HE mostly
about things that never happened YOU are borrowing
trouble and paying a high rate of interest. Cheep up
In a five minutes walk YOU can find scores of people
worse off than you, And here you are going through the
world feeling sorry ior Soursef-the meanest sort OF
pity In the world. Eod are nursing an ingrown illusion
Rid yourself Of the bogie man, and cheer up.
If you must whine and kick and suk and scowl, GO
off 10y yonTselF. Don't muss up other peoples feelings
If you will dig the grave of your happiness, and play the
pail bearer into the bargain, go to the cemetery. It's
your funeral.
Cheer up. Garry about with you a glorious morning
face. Smile. even through your tears. The tears vii
dry quickly.

Policeman Jordan and himself hid the
booty while in Albuquerque. Several
days ago Chief McMillin ordered a
policeman to go to Jordan's house and
spade up the ground which served as
the flooring for a small shed on the
property. The morning paper mis-
represented matters when it said that
spading occurred Saturday and IA
gravity exaggerated matters when it
claimed that the whole yard of the
policeman was spaded up.
