THE DEMURRAG4E BILL.
Jefferson Beel

A measure which failed in the last
assembly, but which is beginning to
loom up as lively issue for the COM
ing winter, is the reciprocal demurrage
bill. The Bee has never wavered in
it's cordial support of this measure.
1t simply seeks to do the railroads
what they have done to the shippers
They have said in an arbitrary way
that if for any reason a stockman or
other shipper holds a car beyond a
certain time, he must pay so much
day as "demurrage" They take no
excuses. Weather, roads, death or
pestilence cut no figure. if the hours
have rolled around. Now the shipper
proposes to say to the railways that
when they fail to supply him car
within reasonable time, or fail to
forward the car at reasonable speed,
then they shall pay him demurrage
This is tit for tat, but it is fair. The
railways started this game, thinking
to enjoy it's fruits as a jug-handled
proposition. Now let them carry
their end of the burden. In demand
ing their pound Of flesh they have,
like all Shyloeks, placed themselves
within the laws penalties as we'll as
its benefits. We sincerely hope to
see this bill become law in the COM
ing assembly.

All this is recited leading up to the
thought that, what wonderful country
this would be if every property owner
would plant fruit, or nut bearing trees

average of two hours work per season.

Lately our old friend WAC first sug
gested their planting has visited us
and sitting on the stoop observing
the fruit ladened trees he revived the
question Of urging Others to plant
trees thus. And really it is II theme
worth the effort of any man. If the
highways and by-ways and street
parks of the state were set to fruit
trees it would add millions to her
wealth and delight to all her inhabi-
tants. There would then be no occa-
sion for poaching or stealing fruit or
nuts and there would be train loads
left for annual shipment and home
manufacture.
Let the legislature enact a law that
will give u measure of exemption from
certain taxes to the owner who plants
fruit or nut bearing trees on the high
way line of his property and keeps the
trees in order, Let every person who
eats a luscious peach plant the stone,

object and aim of which would be the
encouragement of the planting Of fruit

wise waste places of the state and the
enactment of such legislation AS might

LET US ALL RAISE FRUIT.
[Tama News.1


Some twelve or fourteen years ago,
when the writer was laying out a
small plat of ground whereupon to
build a home, Mr. Henry Clarke Moore
suggested the idea of planting apple
trees on the street line outside the
sidewalk The plat had a frontage OF
about 40 feet on each of two streets.
The street line on the south front had
a row of magnificent American elms.
On the west line, following the sugges
ton of our old friend we planted II
half dozen Wealthy apple trees. Six or
seven year old trees were secured from
an abandoned nursery stock for the
digging. They were well cut back and
trimmed high. leaving a row of tall,
sturdy, straight trunks with very little
top. They all lived.

A REMOTE CHANCE.
IDubuuue telegraph

These figures take no cognizance Of
the stay-at-home republican vote, APP
proximating 100000, about three
fourths of which was out when McKin-
lev opposed Bryan in 1896. and Roose-
welt opposed Parker in 1894. If this
vote should be brought out this fall,
and should be cast for Cummins, and
the full democratic vote should be cast
for the democrati nominee, Cummins
would be elected. On the other hand,
If this vote is not brought out, which
is likely, and the democratic strength
is polled, considering the number Of
active republicans who will either vote
against Cumnins or not vote at all,
the democratic nominee will stand a
good show of election, provided taht he
is a man whom the 10000 democrats
will vote for, and it has been demon
strated that they will not vote for the
nominee of the safe and saners." The
lesson the figures carry is that the
democratic convention at Water'o 90 on
August must nominate a democrat
always enthusiastically and sincerely
allied with the Bryan wing of the
party.
