DOES ELK1Ns KNOW

United States Senator Elkins is
quoted as saying that the Hepburn
rate bill as it came from the House
would afford little relief to West
Virginia shippers and adds that that
is the general opinion of his cons
stituents. How lie comes to the
latter conclusion is not explained,
nor does the Telegram believe he is
informed on this subject. 1t is a
fact that nearly all the Republican
newspapers and. many of, the Demo-
cratic papers in the state have given
warmest support to, the Hepburn
bill, which represents the views lof
the President, and many of Elkins'
party papers have urged upon him
the necessity of supporting this bill.
So great has the newspaper pressure
been that Senator Elkins says he
will vote for the bill. For a time
but few, if any knew, he had any
such intention, and it was generally
accepted in state and nation that
he was opposed to the Roosevelt idea
of rate regulation. He must as
suredly be mistaken about his con-
stituency not believing the Hepburn
bill will bring relief to West Vir-
ginia shippers.
There is no question about his ac-
icurately sizing UP part of the sit
uation in this state, when he voices
the following sentiment as being
that of the people of the state:
Il. That the railroads shall not
he permitted 10 engage in any bust
ness other than transportation of
freight and passengers, nd'that they
shall not be permitted to sell coal
in competition with coal miners and
coal shippers.
50. That railroads, as provided
lin his amendment, shall put in
switches and make proper comec-
tions with lateral and branch lines.
In this connection Mr.. Elkins is
given the credit of claiming that
! 1.-THE Elkins law covers this part OF
! the subject, and abuses in this re-
! spect would have been overcome had
that law been enforced. He should
now remember that the Elkins law
in this respect will still remain on
1.-THE statute books, and surely need
not be re-enacted into the Hepburn
bill to make it effective.
Concerning distribution of cars
the noted lecision of Judge Nathan
Gof in the Kingwood coal case COW
cred the practice Of discrimination,
and thus is there shown to be plenty
of federal law on that subject, if the
Interstate Commerce Commission
would but see that it is enforced.
The additional powers to be given
the commission by the Hepburn bill
will doubtless bring about the de-
sired end as voiced in the two rea-

and, therefore, valuable authority

"The prevention of explosions in

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

The good roads conference Fri
day night addressed by Wellingtan
z. Loucks was enthusiastic aud Ms
interest shown indicates thai the
eubject is regarded, as it ought TO
Be of great importance. That Mr..
Ioucks knows what he is talking
-about is also evident, though CEN
1itions in this state differ greatly
from some other states, in which he
has been organizing good roads So
s9eties, and it will be found much
more difficult to build good roads
here than elsewhere, on account of
the topography of the country as
well as the Industrial situation.
That there ought to b. a move
ment in this direction no one. will
deny who knows anything at all
about road conditions in the county,
Hut what to do and how to do it are
pulling our people. Mr.. Loueks
and his associates in the proposed
convention called for March z may
Tell US what is needed and how TO
DO it. The Telegram has contenied
for several years that measures and
methods could be taken that would
be a successful improvement over
The present way of road building aud
repairing, but for some reassn but
little, if any. advancement, has been
made.
The proposition to bond the
county for 100000 for the building
of 100 miles OF road will hardly
meet with popular favor. Harrison
county has no bonded debt. and in
truth, is practically free from all
debt. 1t is not very probable the
people will vote TO bond he county
at this late day. when its Develop
nent is approaching tie zenith, and
they are moi 10 be blam IL If t';ey
fail to support such a propo@ition.
Besides, there is another difficulty
IN this respect and that is tn t 100
miles does not begin TO take in an
the roads in the county. Becausa Of
this it will likely he found that the
people as a whole will not support a
proposition that does not res iii in
as good roads in one section Of the
county as web as another. Under
such circumstances it appears that
1t would be better to look at the mat,
ter from the standpoint of building
the roads by direct taxation. The
property in the county is much moro
valuable than it was in former years
and there is a great deal more o. it
This forms larger and better basis
for taxation for road purposes. >
There is no doubt that a change Of
system is urgent and the laws on The
( subject ought to be revised and
brought up to date, That the Ma.
tional Good Roads Association has
/ the most modern and pest system
none will deny, and it is hoped the
oming convention will result in
reat good in these respects.
The many difficulties may be over.
