THE REAL ISSUE

There has been more or less said in
these columns during the past six
months, about the desirabfity Of doing
away with the free pass. and Of giving
the public the beneht of the saving
thus effected by the railroads. The
State Journal does not wish to detract
from those remarks. but it would en-
phasize what it has already called at
tention to briefly. that passes and pas
senger fares are really a minor matter
compared with freight rates.
The difference Is that the average
man does not pay freight direct. Only
the merchant, the manufacturer. and
the few farmers who ship their own
stock or grain, come directly into con-
tact with the freight rate question.
But the professional man, the me-
chanic and laborer. and the great ma
1ority of farmers pay the freight just
the same, although they may not know
what It IS.
For instance, every one OF them buys
coal and he pay the freight in the price
he pays his coal dealer. The farmer
sells his wheat to a local grain shipper
and the grain man deducts the freight
ana his OWL COIu44lSSlOn ana DEOI
from the Kansas City price to ascer-
tain what he will pay the farmer
Nearly everything that enters into daily
life has a transportation charge attach
ed to 1t somewhere. Everybody has to
pay the freight.
On the other hand. passenger rates
don't mean any great sum except to a
few individuals. Most people do not
travel enough to make a difference OF
three dollars a year to the average in
dividual If the passenger rate were re-
duced to two cents a mile, although
there would doubtless be much more
travel were the rate reduced.
Therefore it Is the freight rate that
really counts and that most needs regu-
lating. There is danger of over-agitat-
ing the pass and passenger rate propo-
sitions and losing sight of the main
issue They should be treated fairly
and justly by the next legislature. but
the people should not lose sight Of the
freight rate problem. which is much
more important.

than from the press dispatches.

den they discovered and raided con-
tained two she wolves and two litters
of pups six pups In one litter and five
IN the other. These were all. captured
and killed. The next den raided con-
tained six young wolves which. we're

escaped with her scalp. Erasmus
Aagard, another noted wolf hunter OF

of at least 25 wolves killed IN this coun-
ty in less than a week.

taken and now the Republicans of one
of the counties in his district have en-
dorsed him for senator. His popu-
larity comes as result of his fearless
stand on all occasions for the rights
of the people. He was one of the
very first to come out in support of
