COMPETITIVE SALT WATER PORTS.
II may be conceded that manipula-
ton of elevator, storage and terminal
charges has been one means of great
diversion of grain from New York to
other Atlantic ports and to gulf ports.
No real ground exists. however, for
the hope on which New York is fe-
licitating itself that the new federal
law requiring in schedules OF rates
separate exhibit of those charges will
either recover this trade or tend ma
terially to arrest further diversion in
the future. The purpose of the
amended law is such publicity by Of
fetal record that the shipper shall
know not only the total charge which
he pays. but also in precise detail the
elements of service for which it is
made, no change in the schedule being
permitted save on thirty days notice,
which requirement bears equally on all
carrier companies whether from New
York or other ports.
Such a regulation in nowise impairs
the advantages OF the new routes that
have been developed from the interior
to ports on the gulf or on the Atlantic
other than New York. The gulf route
especially possesses manifold and great
advantages, outside of terminal consid-
erations, in shorter distance, better
grades and lower cost of service, which
cannot be wholly overcome by the
eastern routes. and the full measure
of which has not even yet been
utilized On the other hand, New York
Is under a terminal handicap from
which it can never escape because its
system was developed when as prac-
tically the sole entrepot monopOlistic
terminal charges could be eXtorted,
and that very system which could not
easily be changed became in time a
stimulus to new competing routes
which every year are diverting more
trade.
In short, under the new law the in
herent advantages of the gulf route
can be as well expressed in the pub
lished rate schedules as heretofore, the
sole difference being that the truth in
detail as to charges at every port and
by all routes will be known. Thus all
shippers will be in position to choose
intelligently between competitive
routes and markets. There will he
just one way for New York to recover
lost trade and prevent further diver
| sion-namely, to make equal or lower
charge for the same or better transpor-
tation, storage, elevator and other ter
minal services as are available to the
interior Of the continent over the gull
route, or to suffer the consequences OF
failure in future as it has suffered in
the past.

ONE CONTROLLING REASON.

People who have remarked upon the
apparent apathy Of the present polit-
ical campaign. especially in Omaha and
South Omaha, will not have to look
far for one controlling reason aside
from the fact that prosperity prevails
and everyone is busy attending to his
own affairs.
People here have certainly had
surfeit of political diversion since last
spring. In the first place the voters
we're called on to participate in the
municipal primaries in which the city
tickets were made up, and then to at
tend the city election to choose be-
tween opposing nominees. This was
followed in July with a primary cleo
ton to select delegates TO the various
state conventions and again in Sep
tember with another primary election
to nominate legislative and county can
didates. The voters have, in addition
to this. now to appear before the reg
istration boards for enrolment on the
registration books and then to go TO
the polls in November to express their
preference on the voting machine.
AS a consequence the people of
Omaha and South Omaha within a per-
iod of about seven months will have
had to go to the voting place six times.
which, to put 1t mildly, is speeding up
faster than comfort and convenience

Notable REBATE CONVICTION.
The conviction of the New York
Central Railway company and its chief
trafic officer on six indictments for
granting rebates on sugsr shipments
is signal triumph OF the law over
powerful offenders. The evidence,
under the instructions Of the court,
fact OF violations, but they are of
character and involve interests which
formerly IL was regarded as impossible
TO bring TO book II convictions can
be secured against the New York Cen
trail and it's officials for unlawful dis
ordinations. through which one OF
the greatest and most arbitrary trusts
has been built up, then no transporta-
tion corporation or trust can safely
defy the majesty of the law. More
over. every such conviction necessarily
multiplies the means in the hands OF
the authorities for successfully prose-
cutting other similar offenders and at
the same time encourages the govern
ment and correspondingly discourages
law violatoTs
No doubt the verdict rendered in the
New York district court will be APP
pealed and resisted by every technical
device known TO great corporation
lawyers. II is. however, not likely to
he reversed or evaded by the imme-
diate parties to it. Even II by hook
or by crook some flaw should thus be
found that would open the way Of
temporary escape to them, there is no
escape from the moral and monitory
force of the conviction, or from the
fact which it signalizes that such Of
lenses can no longer be INDUCED as a
regular practice.

PAY OT POSTAL EMPLOYEES

The announcement that Postmaster
General Cortelyou has included in the
estimates for the next fiscal year to
be submitted TO congress provision for
material increase of pay for postal en-
ployes will be welcomed by the general
public as well as by The employees
themselves. There is reason TO believe
that the proposal will also be backed
by strong recommendations in the
presidents annual message. The esti-
mated increase, it is understood, is ap-
portioned principally TO the mass OF
postofice clerks and other low salaried
employees, who really need It most and
whose remuneration is rated dispro-
pOrtionately to their work In fact.
inadequate pay 10 this class, who per-
form the bulk OF the postal work, has
brought the department face to face
with an emergency, outside of equi-
| table considerations. An exodus of
experienced clerks and other employees
has been because they could do better
! for themselves outside than inside the
government service, and IT is becoming
increasingly dificult TO secure COM
petent men to fill vacancies.
The present scale of salaries, fixed.
for the most part. twenty-five years
ago, notoriously ignores the changed
conditions which are stern realities to
thousands in the postal seEvice. A 10
per cent increase, though il would be
less than the advance of wages in pri-
vate employment, would add $4,000
900 to the expenditures OF the depart
ment for labor alone, making on the
basis OF the last fiscal year a total ex-
cess of more than $17,00O,OOO over
the departments revenues. Investigs-
ton by the department has demon
strated that magazines and certain
Omaha daily bee., 1906-10-19

other items of second-class mail which
cause most of this deficiency cost the
government four times as much as
they pay postage. and IT is we'll known
that the allowance to railroads for
transporting the mails is grossly ex-
cessive Far more than the amount
necessary for q reasonable increase OF
salaries to postal employees can be
provided by congress by equalization
of postage rates and revision OF postal
contracts with railroads so that not a
dollar need be added to the burden
upon the general public.
The matter presses for public atten-
tion the more because postal employees
are strictly forbidden from agitating
their interest, save through regular
departmental channels. and there is
danger that it will be neglected unless
It be thus forced home upon congress.
The powerful interests that long have
enjoyed unreasonable favor in trans
portation contracts will assuredly
exert their influence to the utmost to
prevent relief to underpaid postal EN-
ployes, for the very reason that the
result would necessarily be to focalize
attention upon those abuses.
