though they were right at home.

A BAD PRA,cr,[llIc,:Ez.

A general criticism on legislative
bodies is the tendency among the
members TO trade votes on certain
measures regardless Of: the merits OF
the matters under consideyation.
Many q good bill is defeated and many
a bad one passed simply on the
ground OF swapping votes among the
Legislators. Men who are sent to rep
resent the people; ought to be broader
minded and more careful of their con.
stituents' interests than to vote for or
against measure on any other ground
than merit or demerit. We are told
that about five hundred bills that had
found their way to the calendars Of
the Senate and House died with the
expiration OF the constitutional as.
day session. When SO many bills as
that are before the legislature and
each representative wire pulling for
his pet measure. it is evident that
merftorfous bills have little show un.
less the members sisc apove the trad
ing and dickeripg SO often INDUCED
in by legislators. It is discouraging
to see how small men in prominent
places can sometimes be.

PfTTSBuRG, Feb. Is. IAN work not

Erie railroad and the westside Belt
railroad has been abandoned owing
TO the money supply running short and
inability to market 100000 worth
of first mortgages bonds by which
means Il had been hoped to get the
necessary funds.
Work involving 100000 had been
planned for the year. Including con.
tracts al, Cleveland, the docks at HUI
ron and improvements at other points
along The lie. All work was stopped
yesterday on the Bolivar cutoff and
the new yards and shops at Brewster,

and where the company had expected
TO make further improvements
amounting to s1.oOo,ooo. Consider.

planned.
1t was stated last evening that the
improvements OF the Wabash-P Pitts.
burg Terminal, including the lining of
the tunnels at a cost of about s408, 600
could not be undertaken nor would
the road build a couple of short
branches it had projected. An OFF.
cial of the company stated last even.
ing that there had been a poor market
for bonds for six or eight weeks and
that the railroad companies wishing
to get money for improvements or
carrying on any kind of work had to
furnish collateral amounting to almost
double the amount of money wanted.
He said It looked as II people with
money were beginning to look on.
railroad securities with doubt.
Another railroad man said that yari.
ons roads in this section were likely
to suspend improvements or. at any
rats, to not let any more contracts
for new work. He stated that the leg
islatures of many States were follow.
ing the lead Of the interstate Com.
merce Commission in drafting and
passing laws which were binding in
many ways on tae railroad compa,.
MES; that ail brokers and financial
men knew that the railroad companies
did not make any money on, hauling
passengers-at cents mile, and that
for that reason they were reluctant
to purchase securities of the compa.
MES. It was also said that the Ohio
law was much more binding than the
action Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

a mEalroRlous MEASURE.

When the general educational bill
prepared by the special commission
failed to be enacted into law, most
OF the school people thought very LIT.
tie else would be done relative to the
school laws. However. one special
bill was prepared and passed which
will be far reaching in its effects. It
is a bill relating to raising the sala.
ries and incidentally raising the quail.
ficatlons Of the county superintend,
ents of free schools in the State. The
most notable thing In connection with
West Virginia schools during the past
dozen years has been the failure OF
the country schools to keep pace with
the city schools In growth and devei
oDment. Ono reason has undoubted
ly been inadequate supervision in
many of the counties because the
State did not pay sufficient money for
the work to get good results. The Bill
Just passed raises the salaries OF coun
ty superintendent, making the min
imum $500 per year and the maximum
$1,000, the amount paid being based
on the number of schools in the coun
ty. 1t is to be hoped that the new
law will put new life and vigor int
the country schools. The county su
perintendents can now devote thell
time to the work and be classet
among educators in higher sense q
appreciation than ever before.
