Washington Timers, April 24th
Senator La FOllette's view that the
Hepburn bill is Onl V beginning for
proper Governmental supervision of
the railroads is strongly endorsed by
Representative POu of North Caro-
lima.
'The railroad rate bill, which has
passed the House and is now being
considered by the Senate merely tenn
porizes with a great question: is a
lair brief of the Opiniqn Mr.. Pou eX-
pressed yesterday. at may serve to
postpone the day when Congress will
be forced to settle the question out
right, but it will not postponeit long
even ii the Senate shall pass the
Hepburn bill as it went from the
House, such action will not prevent
| the rate question from being the par
amount issue i'll the next campaign.
If the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion or any other agency established
10y Congress can be given the power
to fix one rate, then such Il commits
sion can be given the power to fix all
rates. And the people OF this coun-
try will certainly demand that this
power be conferred upon the Inter
state Commerce Commission or some
other similar agency.

Injustice to Small Farmers.

''COnsiderthe situation OF a farmer,
| will say, livingin my district. There
are very few large farmers in the
South. 1t is by no means an un-
healthy condition. There has been a
radical change. Immense estates sur
vived the war in but few Instances.
Thousands Of men who were renters
and troopers forty, thirty, twenty,
and even ten years ago today are he
owners of small farms.
"NOW, take the case OF the small
farmer. Can he afford to go before
hecOmmiSSiOn and attack the freight
rate he is forced to pay on what he
buys or what he sells? OF course not
Can he afford TO wage a contest
against great corporation before
the commission and before the courts
to secure arcduction OF O to 20 cents
Il ton on the fertilizers he uses? Ger
tainly not.
But the man who raises one bale
of cotton is Just as much entitled to
protection against unjust freight
rates us the wholesale merchant, who
pays freight in whole train loads of
goods bought or sold Yet the Hep
burn bill affords, practically speak
mo, no protection at all to this man
who raises but few bales Of cotton
or Il few bushels Of wheat or corn.
The railroads OF the United States
have practically formed themselves
into one great trust, but so faras the
average shipper is concerned every
railroad is Il mOnOpOl Y anyway.
Where lie must ship over one road or
not ship at all, OF course, he is at the
mercy of that road. Where he has
the privilege of shipping over more
than one road he is always confront
ed by Il traffic arrangement and can
get no better rate from one road than
from the other.

Returning Fayorites,

1t rarely occurs that theatrical
company on their first appearance here
creates so favorable an impression that
there is popular demand for return
engagement Such, however, is true
in the case OF the Burke-McCann
Company which appeared at the Reyn-
olds opera house a few weeks ago. The
company throughout gave good salts
faction and the demand for return
engagement is by no means an adYertis-
ing stunt on the part of the local
managers. The repertoire will be en-
tirely different from that produced
during their recent engagement unless
there is general demand for repro
duction of either one of the three
popular bills which pleased so well
before.
The Burke-McCann Co. will be at the
Reynolds opera house three nights be-
ginning Monday, March 9th, and they
play at popular prices, 10, 20 and 30
cents. Seats on sale at the Stoke drug
store Saturday, March 3.

White House, Washington, Feb. "a.
Sir:-I note with very great concern
the failure of your late convention on
the joint interstate agreement to come
to basis of settlement of the bitumin-
Gus mining scale of wages. You, In this
business, have enjoyed great indus
trial peace for many years, thanks to
the Joint trade agreement that has re-
suited in the action of your successive
conventions.
A strike such as is threatened on
April is a menace to the peace and
general welfare of the country, | urge
you to make further effort to avoid
such calamity.
You and Mr.. Robbins are joint Chair
men OF the Trade Agreement Commit
tee of the National Civic Federation,

additional reason why each of you
