these complaints come to one point
1t is that the material rewards OF the

Governor Who Governs.

Gov. Hughes supervision over legis-
lation has surprised Republicans as well
as Democrats. He has vetoed 81 bills,
his threat of veto induced the legls-
ature to recall 1877 measures, and he
has allowed $50 bills to die Enacted on.
This shows that New York's executive
is not an eight hour-a-day man. He
works ten or twelve hours every day,
and he is doing something throughout
all Of that time. His readiness with the
veto recalls President Cleveland's ac-
tivity in that direction, but Cleveland S
veto was directed chiefly against pri-
vate pension bills, while Hughes hits
measures of larger importance.
This activity has created something
like CONSERVATION among the politicians.
He examines every measure which
reaches him. There is nothing perfume
tory about his performance. He acts on
the assumption that the people of his
state put him in Office to use all the
powers of his post to give them good
government. Nothing within the scope
of his official duties escapes his atten-
ton. Many Of the Republican politicians
have turned against him. He is accused
of pernicious meddesomeness, and the
party leaders on both sides are getting
somewhat uncertain as to whether he
ought to be called Republican, Dem
ocrat or Mugwump. No other New
York governor within the memory of
anybody now alive has given so much
time to the duties of his Office.

interested person is urged to be pres

ance to every citizen of the state.
We wish to urge upon every farmer

information he can on the situation.
Some of the best road experts in the
United States will be there and num-

the small group of men who over long
series of years have thus dominated
the business.
at is clear that the domestic con-
sumner has been compelled. to pay an
exorbitant tribute TO the oil monopoly.
1.-THE Standard has not been bene-
fit to the consumer, as it has repeated
ly claimed.
'Tn 1893 the profits were at a rate OF
256 per cent on the capital stock. In
1904 the profits were over $40 per cent
on the capital stock.
1.-THE unfair practices of the Standard
include illegal advantage in pipe lines,
railroad discrimination, formation OF
bogus companies, bribery of railroad
employees, giving short measure and de-
ception regarding the quality of oil
sold.

lieving that a fine, no matter how
large, is not adequate.

The New Public UUiifIeS Law
In Wisconsin.

In the regulation of rates, fares and
charges the Wisconsin Legislation marks
an important advance on that Of New
York and other states in the fact that
the commission fixes the rates absolute
ly and not merely the maximum rates.
1t is as much an offense for a corpora
alton to charge less as it is to charge
more than the rate set by the commits
sion. This is designed to prevent dis
elimination, but the commission is re-
CURED to make comprehensive CLASH
fication of services for each utility. in
which it may take account Of the guam
tity purchased, the time when used,
and any other condition that reasonably
| justifes a difference in the rate per
unit of service. Thus determinations
are authorized, but they must be open
and reasonable and must be established
only after public investigation.
By the enactment of this law the
railroad commission becomes to the
fullest extent public-service commits
sion. Every public utility in the state,
except streets, highways and bridges,
is brought within its jurisdiction. 1t be-
comes also a local government board,
for it regulates towns, villages and cit
les in their undertakings. It's authority
is great and far-reaching. 1t employs
experts and agents and fixes their COM
pensation, and can draw on all of the
unappropriated money in the state
treasury. 1t enters into the daily life
of the people more than all the other
agencies of government combined. This
will become more evident as time goes
on, for under its control is placed the
development of the enormous water
power of Wisconsin, which eventually,
through electricity, will light the streets
and houses and furnish motive power to
operate railways, factories and possibly
even farms. - From "The Wisconsin
Public Utilities Law" by John r.
| Commons, in the American Review of
Reviews for August.

An HaH, Judge Landis.

The Standard Oil company received
last Saturday the most terrific blow in
its history, and simultaneously was
served with notice thai more serious
trouble was in store for it.
Judge Kenesaw M. Lands, in the
United States District court, fined the
company 500, 240, 900, the extreme limit
of the penalty fixed for the acceptance
of illegal rebates under the conviction
of last April. This fine is by far the
largest ever assessed in any case in the
history Of Jurisprudence. 1t was enor-
nous, but SC was the ofrense of which
the company vas guilty. Following the
fine was a scathing criticism. Following
are the features of the decision Of
Judge Lands in imposing his record
breaking fine:
The man who thus deliberately vio-
lates this law wounds society more deep
ly than does he who counterfeits the
coin or steals letters from the mail.
The only way for them rivals of the
Standard Oil company to stay in the
oil business would be for theri 10 adopt
the practice of this defendant and pro-
cure the great public power of the rail
way companies to be secretly perverted
in their interest. Under no other posi-
bic theory could they hope to survive.
The court is not impressed by the
doleful predictions of counsel for the
defense as to the hardships upon the
honest shipping public to be anticipated
from the enforcement of this rule. The
honest man who tenders commodity
for transportation by railway company
will not be fraudulently misled by that
company into allowing it to haul his
property for less than the law author
ICES it to collect.
Where the only possible motive of the
crime is the enhancement of dividends,
and the only punishment authorized is a
fine. great caution must be exercised by
the court lest fixing OF a small amount
encourage the defendant to future vio-
lations by esteeming the penalty to be
in the nature of license.
For the law to take from one of its
corporate creatures as penalty for
the commission of the dividend produc-
ing crime less than one-third of its net
revenue accrued during the period of
violation falls short Of the imposition of
an excessive fine, and surely to do this
would not be the exercise of as much
real power as employed when a SEN
tence is imposed taking from human
being one day of his liberty.
This court is obliged to confess that
it is unable to indulge the presumption
that in this case the defendant was con
victed of its virgin otfense.

EVERY community has it's list of UNI

the newspapers often to record the

suffer at the hands of justice them
selves, but it is the family of the men
hailed into court for different offenses.

Work of Electro-Magnet.

In engineering works the electro
magnet is taking a very prominent
place. This device dispenses with
hooks, sings and other lifting appa-
ratus. BY throwing switch control
ling the current the magnet is ener-
gized and thereby attaches itself TO
the bars, castings. scrap or pig iron
which it is desired to lift. The magnet
poles are shaped according to the ma
ture of the material to be raised. For
heavy rails they are oblong and are
slung from the crane hook by short
chain. Castings weighing over two
tone are successfully handled by cleo
tromagnets. Another use to which the
electromagnetic is put is in breaking
old castings so that they may be melt
ed and utilized. To accomplish this
the magnet is made to lift and drop
a steel ball weighing from one to six
tons.
