|SENA TOR ASHBURN
MAKES A RECORD
Fights ManfuIly for the Rights o
the People and for Justice

CHARLESTON. March 4. tspec-
iall-senator o. A. Ashburn, of
poddrldge. one of the representatives
OF the Twelfth district. Will be re-
membered. says the Charleston Mail.
by those who attended this session
OF the legislature for his effective
work for two-cent rate hill The
greatest danger that threatened the
enactment OF such law was in the
fact that nearly every senator and
delegate entertained his own indi-
vidual views and was reluctant in
giving away. There we're many who
wanted the bill to bear their names.
Although Senator Ashburu pre-
pared a rate bill and worked earnest
ly for Its adoption by the railroad
committee, OF which ne was chair
man, he was too good friend OF the
movement to retard 1t by holding out
10 gain credit or political capital and
he accepted the will of the majority.
Had he been unduly obstinate. ms
We're other alleged friends of the
movement, the result would have
been quite different.
The bill as prepared by Senator
Ashhurn provided for classified
tion of all railroads according to
their gross earnings. The minimum
fare 10 he charged was fixed at two
cents per mile and the maximum at
81 cents. A great majority of the
senators. however. favored classitica-
tlon according to length and Senator
Ashburn finally yielded.
Nearly all OF Senator Ashburn's
time was devoted to the rate bill and
the one that was finally adopted
would have borne his name had he
not refused TO permit, not wishing to
endanger It's success by arousing
jealousies. The bill is really the
product of six members OF the SEN
ate railroad committee. and natural
ly Senator Ashburn refused to take
all the credit.
Senator Ashburn has shown mark
ed independence and he has stood
every time for what he has believed
to be right. Early In the session n
bill that should have gone to his
committee was given to the commit
tee on mines and mining and he
made vigorous fight against srch
a proceeding. This bill was the one
to create railroad commission and
the railroad committee had no
chance to consider It.
Several times during the session
Senator Ashburn insisted upon reg
ularity in referring bills to commit
tees and he voted every time to sus-
tain his position in this regard. AS
chairman of the railroad committee
he gave every interest chance to be
heard. He sought to protect the
rights of the common people at the
same time admitting that the corpo-
ration also has rights that should
be respected. He favored neither
the one nor the other but dealt Just
ly with both.
Senator Ashburn took part in
many debates on the floor and led
the fight for the two-cent rate bill,
winning a parliamentary victory in
spite OF skilled opposition. He will
be back again at the next session. II
he lives and will be a strong mem-

 The fact is well known that AppTo- priators are anxious enough to sell the canal to the government. The company is over s3O,OOO in debt, and the indebtedness is not decreasing as time goes on. Besides, the canal 5s rapidly reaching a point where heavy expenditures are necessary for clean ing it. The fall of the land is not sufficient to cause the water flowing in the canal to wash all of the sand and debris along with it. Conse- quentIy in some places the canal is almost filled with sand, and in others it is washed out.
 There are three factions among the stockholders of the Approprtators The first wants to sell the canal to the government at the cost of con struction. The second is willing to unload if the government will agree to assume the debts of the company. The third is willing, in fact anxious. to unload on almost any terms. The existence of these factions is admit ted by the leaders. and they promise an interesting fight for supremacy in the coming election of officers for the ensuing year.
