Must Pay Full Fare.

In some OF. the middle western states
where the railroads are giving the
new passenger rate a test there Is
more or less wailing and gnashing of
teeth because the railroad managers
every class of passenger. Two cents
is minimum as well as maximum in
these states now. Clergymen who
have been riding on half fare tickets
must pay full fare. Actors and others
who have had reduced rates are up
against the real thing now-pay 2
cents a mile or walk. AS to free
passes, ask of the winds! Missouri
began the antipass agitation several
years ago and now has law against
the issuance of a pass to nybody.
The interstate commerce commission
took hand in the game some time
ago and caused widespread sorrow
among many privileged classes and
individuals who had been riding on
passes, and also made 1t extremely
difficult for newspapers to exchange
good advertising space for transporta-
ton. Hogs may still be exchanged for
hominy, the dairyman may swap but
ter with the baker for bread, but the
commission would have it that adver-
Using and transportation are not ex-
changeable commodities.
Quite a tumble.
What the end will be no man can
various state legislatures have taken
turns at railroad regulation during the
past two or three years, and the con-
glomerate result marks distinctly a
new epoch in the history Of common
carriers. Freight rates, passenger
rates, reciprocal demurrages and what
not have agitated the legislative and
the lay mind until the tumble is such
that our familiar old friend, a Phila-
delphia lawyer, cannot untangle it.
The passenger rate laws form only
one group in the maze of railroad leg
islation. There are other sorts Of
statutes with regard to railroads
which are calculated to cause both
railroaders and rank outsiders to
pause and inquire Whittier are we
drifting? or, in the language of Mr.
Hartman, Where do I stand?
Kansas, for instance, has passed a
law providing that a freight conductor
or other official may be sent to jail for
thirty days for refusing to carry pas
sengers in freight train caboose It
is well known to the travelling public
that most railroads have rigid rules
against this practice. Freight trains
are intended for hogs, dried apples and
California prunes. Passenger trains
are intended for passengers. Kansas
still lacks a Law requiring the pas
senger conductor to carry hogs. except
ing the seat hog, which finds place in
every coach.

her disappearance came from St.

Of the City on January /, 1907
Your attention is called to this state
ment. By careful Perusal Of this
statement you will see that the City
at present only owes so. 900. with
S5S5S.4S in the treasury. The
water and light $50, 900 3O-year
bonds is the only Indebtedness.
Last month a sinking fund was
created and $4,000 pa, TO its credit 4.
which virtually reduces the indebted
ness to $4,000; then the city owes
II. Buchanan 81 1000, making the
total S29, 0c0. With the (. Case
Memorial fund, this month, the FIVE
remaining City Hall bonds we're re-
deemed.
Nov, this show the city TO be in a
fine financial condition. All ac-
crued interest has been paid. There
is one thing needed. Il is a fact.
whether We hesitate to say so or not.
that Hickman is the poorest paved
city Of her size in West Kentucky
or Tennessee. This should not be !;
il creates a bad impression upon
Prospectors, II is commented upon
by visitors. Hickman is to the front,
far ahead Of the average town so
tar as financial matters are concern
ed. Her taxable value is more
than the average city she possesses
more enterprising merchants and
citizens than the average city, and
this being true the fact that our
streets are so poorly paved. is a
condition to be deeply deplored. II
is a condition that should be rem
edied. and at once. We are not
aware II there is such an ordinance,
but II there is not, there should be
at once, to compel every property
owner in the city 10 lay a good
walk in front OF his premises, under
penalty on failure TO do so. IN a lin
tied time. And there should be a
clause in the ordinance providing a
penalty for an officer failing to en-
force it. Every citizen should have
enough OF the towns interest at heart
to do this without being made, but
when they will not they surely
ought to be made take some pride
In their surroundings.

A town that never has anything
TO do in a public way is on the way
to the cemetery. Any citizen who
will do nothing for his town is help
ing TO dig the grave. A man that
curses the town furnishes the coffin.
The man who Is so selfish as to have
no time from business TO give to city
affairs is making the shroud. The
man who will not advertise is driving
the hearse. The man Who is always
pulling back from any public enter
prise is throwing boquets on the
grave. The man who is so stingy
as TO be bowling hard times preach
es the funeral, sings the doxology.
and thus the town lies buried from
all sorrow and care.
