The facts brought to light since the
stirring up of the Equitable Insurance
muddle have caused people to become
distrusfful ofthe big insurance companies,
since it has been discovered that their
funds, which had always been considered
perfectly secure, were being used in all
sorts of schemes known to "frenzied
finance" Trust companies have been
organized whose officers and principal
stock holders were officers of the insur-
ance companies, and these trust COM
panies would borrow millions from the
insurance companies for speculations and
stock gambling of every description,
frequent heavy losses being consequent.
Stringent laws are required to prevent
this sort of high finance by insurance
companies which places in jeopardy
money held in trust for widows and or.
phans, the benefciaries of parties insured.

The railroads are playing the govern.
ment by injunction" card for all it is
worth in States whose Legislatures they
have been unable to bride aud coerce,
and where laws regulating freight rates
have been passed. Judge Phillips of the
United States district court at Kansas
City has granted an injunction, at the
instance of the railroads. restraining the
attorney General and the State warehouse
commissioners of Missouri. from enforc.
ing the maximum freight law enacted by
the last Legislature of that State.

FRIDAY, JULY 90, 1905.

President Roosevelt, it is announced,
has decided to call Congress together in
extraordinary session on November II.
The regular session will begin December
q. Railroad rate legislation, the Panama
canal question, tariff adjustment, and
the Treasury deficit are all important
matters which the President is anxions to
have Congress act upon speedily, but il
is not likely much can be accomplished
in the three weeks of the extraordinary
session, especially upon the railroad rate
business, which is bitterly opposed by the
millionaire Senate.
The railroads have been conducting a
Campaign of education" since the agi.
tation of the rate regulation subject,
maintaining bureau and sending broad
cast literature in opposition to the pro-
posed legislation, in the hope of creating
public sentiment in their favor, but their
only hope of defeating the measure is
through the Senate, which is packed
with their paid attorneys, elected by them
through the manipulation of State legis
latures. Our peculiar system of politics
enables them to defeat. the will of the
people in this roundabout way. A
change in the mode of electing the men,
beers to this American House OF Lords,
by taking it out of the hands of State
legislators and making their selection by
direct vote of the people, would do
much toward getting representatives in
this body who would not work, as at pres
emit, for the defeat of legislation intended
to benefit the public at large. The U.
S. Senate as at present constituted is
completely dominated by corporate
influences.

The way the railroads rob the govern
ment by exorbitant charges for carrying
the mail is shown when the pay of the
"star route" carriers for the same service,
is compared with that of the railroad
On the star route the rate for carrying
the mails is not per hundred nor per ton;
the applicants bid for the privilege OF
carrying all the mail (be it large or small)
from one point to another for so much
money, the contract being awarded to the
lowest bidder for a period of four years
Thus it is that the pay on star routes
are being continually reduced every four
years. The amount of mail carried on
Star routes varies from so to 500 pounds,
but no attention is paid to the amount OF
the mail; it is the trip which is supposed
to be paid for.
The pay to railroads for carrying the
mails is different, they are paid twice for
carrying the same mails, once per hun
dred pounds per mile and once per car
mile. The railroads are allowed from
$42. rs per mile per annum for carrying
200 pounds of mail to $Ie2.37 per mile
per annum for carrying 1000 pounds OF
mail. In addition they receive from $25
per mile per annum for furnishing a
forty foot car in which to carry the
mails, to $50 per car per mile per annum
for furnishing sixty foot car in which to
carry the mails. Thus the railroads are
paid twice for the same service.
Notwithstanding the fact that it costs
the railroad company not one cent more
to carry 1000 pounds of mail than it
does to carry 200 pounds, they receive
from our trust fostering government
almost $Ioo per mile more for said SER
vice. Just why this government should
be compelled to pay for carrying the
mail and in addition pay rental on cars
is not plain. Express companies are not
charged the exorbitant rates for carrying
express that the government pays for the
transportation of mail, and the amount
of express carried over every railroad
line is much greater than the amount OF
mail. It's big game OF graft which
will only be corrected when the govern
ment takes the railroads out of the hands
of private corporations, which for years
have been robbing it. and operates them
for the benefit of the whole people.

One thing sure, the Sixth district is
going to have sheriff.

Possibly the most important bill, to the
citizens of this section, which will be
brought before the legislature next win
ter will be the Haman Oyster and Good
Roads bill. Briefly stated this bill pro-
vides for the leasing of the oyster beds of
the Chesapeake, with proper restrictions,
and the thousands of dollars accruing
from these leases to be devoted to the
good roads fund. This addition to the
fund already provided by the state will
enable the citizens of Cecil county, of
the present generation. to realize their
long wished for dream of good roads.
The Hannah bill was before the last
session of the legislature and was opposed
by the lower county representatives on
the ground that its passage would cause a
stoppage of the free land devastating
dredging which has been going on for
years until the beds are showing signs of
depletion.
The citizens of Cecil county realized the
two-fold benefits to be derived from the
passage of the bill. that of preserving the
oyster supply and greatly increasing the
good roads fund, and were strongly in
favor of its passage. Their representa-
tive. the Hon. Henry M. Mccullough, for
reasons unknown TO his constituents.
lined up with the opponents of the bill
and helped to defeat it.

then be holding the sack and the people
will have the money. In other words,

Two years ago we heard considerable
talk about republican board of County
Commissioners who were going to elbow
the lid off, and let the people of Cecil
county see what rotten condition of
affairs had been existing in that Office for
several years past. We did not hear any
loud explosion when the lid blew off nor
notice any offensive odor being waited on
the breeze. We presume, though, the lid
came off, for now this selfsame Board is
wondering how in thunder they can put
the lid on, but that one-twenty tax rate
bulges up so the cover won't fit.
They raised the tax rate from go cents
to $500 last year and gave as reason
that it was for the purpose of wiping out
debt caused by the bad management or
pure cussedness of the democrats and
that one year under their bene6cent
reign would place county affairs SO they
could be run on much lower tax rate.
Now that their years probation has ex-
pired we find the original debt doubled
aud the new tax rate increased twenty
per cent, with absolutely nothing but bad
management to show for it.
If the administration was changed for
the purpose of running the business of
the county in more economical manner
the change has proven bad one. If it
was to demonstrate that affairs had been
conducted more economically than their
friends, the enemy" could do, it was a
good one.
