Danville, Pa, Feb. 28, 1907.

The air is full of arguments
against the proposed enactmsnt of a
law reducing the maximum railroad
passenger fare to two cents per mile.
We are solemnly warned that "the
reduction of passenger rates by statute
will certainly be followed by less lux
uriant and complete service than the
American people have been accustom-
cd to- that with the additional
handicap Of lower fares, radical action
in reducing the number of trains will
be imperative, and the country in a
year or two will enter upon what will
be a new passenger policy" etc,
MANY trains have been rum" it is
alleged, (Which did not pay, and 1t
will be necessary to eliminate these
entirely"
Dwellers in the larger cities especl'
ally are warned that so far as sub
urhan service ls concerned roads like
the Pennsylvania and Reading will
he compelled to make schedules which
will astonish psrtons who have been
accustomed TO have trains ready foI
them at almost any time when they
wanted to board them.
All this, and much more OF like char
acter, sounds very ominous, OF course
but really it is not pertinent to the
matter in hand. So far as the situa'
tion in Pennsylvania ls concerned, the
people have voted for two-cent fare
and the Legislature is bound to re-
spond to the demand. 1t is too late tc
argue ms to whether or not two-cent
fare will be a good or bad thing fol
the railroads or their patrons. The
people, who created both the railroads
and the Legislature, demand this re-
form, and there is no gainsaying theii
will.
II the railroads cannot give as good
passenger service at two cents as al
two and one. half cents, who will sui
fer most the railroads or the travel
ing public?
Why should the railroads complain
It is their business to give the people
the best they can or the price the peo
pie are willing to pay. If the people
don't like what they're getting, they
can raise the maximum and give the
railroads a chance to furnish better
quality of accommodations.
But this talk of reprisals is non
sense. One of the very arguments ure
ed against the two-cent fare PROPOSE
tion Is that "the railroads for many
years have competed with each othel
at great expense in giving the public
not only a sufficient passenger service
but more than that. Competition vii
continue. The people are seeing {,
that also, through various measure
designed to break up and prevent com
binations between rival lines. The Law
Of competition will provide ample pro
lection to the people from excessive
reduction of accommodations.

To Take Faces Off Doors.

The much -talked-of proposition to
lie the bronze heads or types" off
he doors of the nav capitol at Harris
1urg has at last been put into the form
of resolution and introduced by Sen
atOr Herbst, of Berks county, who
claims he is in earnest, although the
bill is of facetious composition 1t
follows:
Whereas, The recent unprecedented
rise in the price of copper. restoring
it almost to its once proud p p)sition of
precious metal, has made the impish
heads on the front door of this capitol
a valuable asset for thieves, and their
continued wierd stare serves as temp
5ation for the light-fngered gentry
abroad in seemingly goodly numbers
in this cline; and
Whereas, the distinguished exgov
ernor and head of the capitol building
commission seems to have lost his file
with which he had proposed to re-
move them and
Whereas. The revenues Of the State
IAN be more profitably used than in
che employment of officers to specially
guard such inartistic type heads; there
fore be it
Resolved, II the house concurs, that
che superintendent of public buildings
and grounds be and is here by instruct
ed to have those heads removed forth
with, and on account of their metal
value sold to the highest bidder, the
proceeds nf such sale to be paid into
the State treasury, and applied to les
sen the expense of the capitol investi-
cation.
1t will be interesting to watch what
becomes of this bill. 1t was long hint
I'd that such bill would be introduc
id, but it was always side tracked un
til now.
