Over In 8, Iseavenworth county court

are willing to admit that Curtis needs

necessary for the governor to get into

But it is believed in some circles that
this is part of the game. There are
people in Kansas who are Of the opin-

tried to use e. ". Hoch's popularity

The present board of railroad commits
sioners has made no effort TO enforce
these laws They have just sat around
and done nothing and they should pc I'M
reached for it-Carr W. Taylor, state
railroad attorney.
Tt is a source Of great satisfaction to
this paper to note that each passing
day adds to the vindication Of its posi-
ton towards the present railroad com
nissioners two years ago.
Before the Republican state conven-
ton of 1904 the State Journal opposed
the nomination Of two of the present
board. especially that Of Mr.. Walker
The latter was beaten in the primaries
in Jackson county, but boiling dele
cation was trumped up for the purpose
of backing him IN the state convention
and also giving strength to Congress
man Curtis for denomination. This bolt
was backed by the railroads and the
Topeka Capital. In the state conven-
ton carr Taylor and the Capital were
two of the strong forces in control of
the convention that nominated the pres
ent railroad board over the protest of
the shippers.
After the convention the State Jour
nal opposed the election of these rail-
road candidates on the belief that they
would do whatever they could for the
railroads in the matter Of oppressive
rates.
Now Mr. Taylor says these commits
sioners ought to be impeaehed for do
ing the very thing they were nominated
to do, and the Capital heartily endorses
Mr.. Taylor's statement.
In beginning these remarks the writer
stated that it is a source of satisfac-
ton to the State Journal to be thus
INDICATED. This is in one sense an
error It is really a source of great
regret to the State Journal that the
railroad commissioners indicated this
paper in the predictions 1t made con
corning them before election. This pa
per would have been much better pleas
ed had these gentlemen enforced the
railroad law by giving the people fair
freight rates. The legislature backed
them with an excellent railroad law and
Governor Hoch gave them an attorney
who has done his utmost for the people.
And it is this attorney-AFr. Carr Taylor
who now condemns the commission SO
heartily.
1t is therefore a source Of regret that
the commission did not prove the state
Journal mistaken in its antielection es-
innate, but since IT did not. It Is a
source Of satisfaction that many OF
those responsible Tor the nomination

HOW TWO CENT FARE WORKS.

Several months ago the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad re-
dueed its passenger rate voluntarily to
two cents a mile-and still issued
passes. It was announced that the
road would probably lose money by so
doing.
But
The dispatches announce that travel
has been so largely increased by the
reduction that there has been an actual
Increase in the gross receipts Of the
road from its passenger traffic.
Of course the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad runs through
thichly settled portion of the country,
and it does not follow necessarily that
a two-cent fare would be a paying
proposition in Kansas. It does prove,
however, that travel would be in
creased about so per cent by the re-
duction.
This and the cutting off Of free
passes will doubtless warrant con-
siderable reduction on Kansas roads, at
least where the traffic is heaviest. The
way to find out what reduction to
make is for the railroads to produce
the figures showing how much business
thev carry free=how many free passes
they issue and what they amount to.
This and the probable percentage of
Increased business will furnish basis
on which to work.
