The Demand For a Two, Cent
Rate

There is a growing demand in various
parts of the country for a two-cent rail-
road fare. AS is well known, Ohio re-
Gently enacted a law limiting the passen-
ger charges within the State to a maxi
mum rate of two cents n mile. The act
goes into effect on March 10th. and it
has been stated that tho principal lines
In the State will give tho new rate a
trial and refrain from attacking It in
the courts.
New York already enjoys a two-cent
rate. The question Is under considera-
tion in Pennsylvania. Massachusetts,
Michigan and several other States. and
the important newspapers of such States
are vigorously advocating either lcgis-
lation reducing the fare to the basis
specified or voluntary action by the
roads in advance of what they deem to
be inevitable governmental action.
The Philadelphia Press says that there
is a widespread feeling in Pennsylvania
that a two-cent rate should be estab-
lished here, as 1t already exists In New
York" The Springfield .(Mass.) Nepub-
lican says that these passenger rate
bills are significant of a deep and grow
Ing sentiment and advises the main lines
of It's State to make the proper conces-
sion of their own motion.
But the most significant thing OF all
is that the New Haven Road, the prin-
cipal system of Connecticut, has an
nounced a voluntary reduction to, a two
cent rate on the Berkshire division, with
! the probability of extending the reduc-
ton to other divisions, II not throughout
the entire system.
1t must be remembered, however. that
conditions in New York and Connecticut
are quite different from those exist
ing in Virginia. Railroads running
through territory that is densely popu-
lated. with thriving towns every fifteen
or twenty miles. can afford to haul pas
sengers at a much lower rate than roads
which run through territory that Is
s~parsely settled. TIL New Haven Road
has reduced the rate because the mana
gers believe 1t will pay to do SO.

Rhymes OF the Season.

When the summer time has ended and
the saucy autumn breeze
Gets to toying with the leaves on all
the brilliant colored trees,
All, it's then the hearts grow lighter
and the spirits start to rise,
When the frost is ON the pumpkin and
the pumpkins in the pies.
When the days are growing shorter and
the birds have gone away,
And the corn is growing ripper in the
fields from day to day,
There's a rosy glow pervading all the
hazy autumn skies,
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
I the pumpkins il the pies.
When the hammocks have been put
away and open cars are gone,
And you never see tennis player chas-
ing on the lawn,
When the college people gather and you
( hear the football cries,
Then the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins in the pies.
You recall with lots of pleasure all the
\ summer days could give,
But since the autumn days have started,
then you know it's joy to live,
As your mouth begins to water, and
there's gladness in your eyes,
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins in the pies.
