WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, y. c Jan. !, l

Washington, D. c. Jan. !, 1906.
Commissioner Of Corporations
Garfield is now engaged in study
OF water and rail transportation
rates with view to seei&g whether
the water freight rate cannot be
used in many localities to keep
down the rail rate. The theory
generally accepted by The public as
a fact, is that water transportation
being 50 much cheaper than rail-
-nad, there is great tendency to
mt freight rates wherever rail and
lter lines come into active compe-
on. This is true enough but,
lie point in Mr.. Garheld's invest-
l,ion so far is that these systems
-. transportation never really come
into competition. 1t seems that
the railroads own or control practi-
cally all the water lines and they
are thus able to keep up the price
of v ater-borne freight to approxi-
mateiy the same poin, as rail
freight.
This has been brought out by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
in number of its investigations re-
Gently. 1t has been shown that a
number of the traus-continental
railway lines either actually own
transatlantic and trans-Pac:hc
steamship lines or else own the con.
trolling interest in their stock
while they are run ostensib'y as
separate companies. This is parti-
cularly true of the Canadian Pacific,
the Northern Pacific. and the Great
Northern. Turning TO the coast
wise lines, practically all of them
are either owned or controlled ab-
solutely by the railroad companies.
Railroad companies operating to
adjacent foreign countries such as
Canada and Mexico, own the steam
ship lines which would compete
with them to these countries. The
same is true of freight lines on
rivers, canals and lakes. In fact,
1t has been found that the railroads
have combined to practically kill
fre,gh transportation on the lower
Mississippi.
One instance in point was bought
out recently when the Interstate
Commerce Commission was investi-
eating the transportation of coal in
to Washington from the West Vir-
giuia coal mines. One witness
testified that lie was offered coal at
the mines by some of the independ
ent companies at such low rate
that he believed he could sell it at
an immense profit in Washington.
he found, however, when he came
to make terms with one of the rail
road companies that the freight on
the coal would just exactly eat up
all his profit He then tried var
ious combinations with the different
railroads running into Washington,
but found to his surprise that all
their rates, even though he routed
the coal from West Virginia into
Washington by way of Richmond
came to exactly the same figure.
Then he tried the scheme of water
transportation, There was a very
low railroad rate from these mines
to the seaboard at Newport News,
but he found after taking his coal
to Newport News, that the rail
roads so thoroughly controlled the
Potomac River transportation that
it would cost him exactly the same
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1907-01-10

to bring the coal to Washington by
rail and water as though he had
shipped it by an all rail route.
1t is expected that Mr.. Garfield 5
iuve tigation will result in recon-
mendations to Congress tending to
entirely divorce railways from con.
troll and ownership Of water freight
;outes.

Quite an interesting report has
been received by the Philippine
Commission as to the conditions i'll
the islands and the outlook for the
coming year. 1t is stated that the
situation is better than it has been
at any time since the American &C.
cupation. The improvement is
most noticeable in the decline of
ladronism, that is 10 say the bandit
reign of terror that has so long
been the curse of all the Philippines
and particularly Of Lrzon. From
all accounts it appears tnat most of
the bandits have been reformed
through being buried The pro.
vinces of Cavite and Batangas,
which have always been strong
centers Of ladronism, have been en-
sirely cleared Of bandits and Agui-
naldo, the one time mead of the in
surrection, has actually leased 1900
acres Of land from the government
in these troubled provinces and has
now settled down as peaceful cul.
tivator of the soil
There has been a good deal Of
trouble in the island from drouths,
locusts, hurricanes, and the rhind-
erpest. But though the hemp crop
was damaged to the extent of S4.-
600, 900, the new species of hemp
introduced by the Agricultural
Department has proved excellcntly
adapted to the needs of the islands
and the crop as who.e has been
good. There is a com !ortable treas
ury balance to the credit or the in-
sular government, and the only
thing now wanting to complete the
happiness Of the natives is little
better tariff relation with the Unit.
ed States, The tobacco crop has
fallen off, the report says, through
lack of an adequate market, none
ofit being shipped to the United
States owing to the prohibitive
rates of the !. ingley tariff. 1t is
stated that could the rates on to.
bacco, sugar and hem be reduced
so as to admit them to the Ameri,
can market, the commerce and agri-
culture Of the island wouIdIpick IL
immed .ately and there would be
even more general prosperity. I,
lay be prophesied from the Wash,
ington eni OF the line, however,
that thore is small prospect of the
Dingley rate being reduced or any
thing done at the present session
with the moribund Philippine tariff
bill.

and a number of Preston county Re-
publicans were in town Wednesday.
All at once it got into their heads to
have a big political meeting. They
quickly got the word around and met
at the Courthouse and invited the
governor and ex-governor out to the
meeting. 1t then seemed proper to the
Republicans of the Buckwheat coun.
ty to give Ex-Governor White a boost
for governor in 1908. Accordingly this
was done and committee was ap-
pointed to issue letter to the Repub'
llcans Of other counties advocating the
nomination Of Mr.. White. 1t seems
to have been a great meeting and it
was certainly very gratifying to the
governor and ex-governor to have such
a surprise party pulled off in their
honor.

WAR WHILE YOU WAL.

. War; war wholesale or retail, war
in twenty-four hours, war in week
or war in six months. Anyone who
wants war can get just the sort he
arequires by picking his newspaper to
that end. There are even some old
fogy sheets declaring there will not
be any war at all. And probably they
are Just as far right as any Of the
rest. This is, Of course, war between
Japan and the United Statesman
talk is so rife that 1t is almost unnec-
essary to mention the combatants.
There probably will be war, but 1t is
not in sight, and when it comes the
voyage Of the battle.ship squadron
around Cape Horn will have passed in.
to history and been half forgotten. A
decade Is not a week in the life OF a
nation, and probably 1t will be a de.
cade before Japan thinks she is In a
position to fight the United States.
When she thinks she IS in that posi-.
ton, physically and financially. the
fight will come. The provocation may
be restaurant row in San Francisco
or our oppression of the natives in
the sulu Archipelago. The p
ton does not matter much. It will
be found when it is wanted. But for
the present Japan knows she is not in
condition to fight as, and We do not
want to fight Japan. There It can rest.
But those who want a paper war Of
any sort can get 1t by subscribing to-
the right sort of a paper.

We reserve the right, however, to call

seryed by doing so.we called attention
to the fact on Wednesday that a good
clean up sale had been made at the
Coal City House Furnishing Co.'S
store, but dlscredited the influence OF
no other paper. At the time this spe.
cial advertisement appeared In our col.
spmns, the same firm was running an
other advertisement in the morning
paper, as 1t is their custom to use an
equal amount of space In each paper.
Many Of the merchants Of Fairmont
viii testify that 1t has been the policy
5of the West virginian, believing in
the force Of advertising as It does, to
recommend that both papers be used.

dun occasionally without offending
the Times, Of course. the best thing

before we say anything about our ad.
