In those days election expenses

almost anything might be spent The
probability is that in one way and an
other Mr.. Disraeli could not have
spent much less than 100000 in cleo

assume that during the forty years
that he sat in the house of commons
many calls were made upon his slen-
der purse by constituents and others
and only members of parliament
know how much can be absorbed in
donations, contributions and subscrip-
tions.
If Mr.. Disraei gave only $1,000 a
year, he must, during his career, have
spent $4,000 in this way, making,
with election expenses, $4,000, and
leaving out Of his aggregate emolu-
ment of $250.00O only 100000 for

IS LIKE LYNCH LAW

TAKES A FIRM STAND AGAINST IT
Declares Government Regulation is
Unfair, Unjust, and Opposed to the
Fundamental Principles Of Anglo
Saxon Jurisprudence.

Newark, N. j., Special.-That gov
eminent control of railroad properties
as proposed in the Townsend
bill, which was considered at the last
session Of congress, is unfair, unjust
to the railroads, opposed 10 the fun.
damental principles of Anglo-Saxon
Jurisprudence, and is equivalent to
providing by statute for the enforce
ment of commercial lynch law, is in
substance the replay Of the railroads
to the agitation for railroad rate leg
islation, as outlined by President Sam
uel Spencer, Of the Southern railway
in an address before the Newark
board of trade. Mr.. Spencer said in
part:
cup to the present time shipper
and carrier have been free to work to-
gether, without political interference
to facilitate the establishment of new
industries; to reach out for new mar
kets for our farmers and manufac.
turers to create new communities and
to maintain the prosperity of those
already established, and to cooperate
to the fullest possible extent to en-
large the volume Of both our domestic
and foreign trade.
Propose to Change System.
1T is now proposed to change this
system and substitute for it one in
which artificial bureaucratic methods
will take the place of the natural laws
OF trade and commence, which have
been the controlling force and evolu-
ton of the present system.
"And it must be borne in mind that
it is proposed to give those enormous
powers to body on whom no respon-
sibilities rest or can rest, for the pre-
servation of maintenance of the rail-
road property, OF for the discharge of
financial obligations, or the fulfllment
Of its duties to the public as an eff
cient common carrier.
"The president, in his last annual
message, laid special emphasis upon
the necessity for doing away with re-
bates and for the keeping Of the high
ways Of transportation open to all
upon equal terms. There is no issue
or controversy before the people or
congress as to whether or not rebates
or secret determinations should be
stopped. No one desires more than
the railway managers themselves that
there should be an end to all such
practices.
No Rational Suggestions.
"No rational suggestions have been
made, however, as to how the grant
ing of rate making power to the III
terstate commerce commission sould
be effective to this end. A rebate OF
any secret discrimination device can.
of course, be applied to a government
rate as well as to one made by the
carrier.
Gone Of the most serious objections
to the legislation proposed is that, I'M
der it a rate once fixed by the com
mission would continue in force indie
finitely, unless changed by the com
mission or by the court. The carrie:
would, therefore, have no power fe
make either reductions or increases
to meet new conditions.
"To place in the hands OF one trl'
bunal which is or may be prosecutor,
jury and Judge and at the same time
executioner is equivalent to being one
statute for the enforcement OF cola
mercial lynch law"
