THE TRIBUNE, MINERAL POINT, WISCONSIN,

tice followed not so many years ago.
OF course this is plain discrimination,
although the discrimination is more pro-
nouced in the Tomah case than with the
local case cited. Yet even if it is dis
elimination there is righteous principle
involved. -one that naturally appeals to
the human sense OF fairness. 1t is un-
questionably true the high cost of living
is putting the pinch of poverty on some
people whose incomes have not increased
to correspond, while on the other hand
prosperity has given to some more than
they really need. If it were possible,
therefore, to apply this same rule of
discrimination, everywhere, according
to some definite and accurate guage of
individual need and individual ability, it
would obviously operate in promotion
of general good and welfare, by dis
tributing the burden of high prices so
that all could easily bear ii and none
suffer.
Unfortunately the practical applica-
ton of the principle is sheer impossi-
blity, both for the reason that few
would be willing to stand a discrim-
nation that operated against their
pocketbooks, and also because no plan
could be devised providing, for fair
and even distribution of the necessities
of life, proportional according to indi-
vidual need and individual ability to
pay. Socialism pretends to solve the
problem, but even socialism would prob
ably fall short of the expectations of
its advocates, while the people in gen
eral have no desire to try 50 risky and
hazardous an experiment. Yet one thing
the rich could and should do they
should stand their just share of the bur-
den of government without cheating or

has ceased. Of all the western rivers
the Ohio alone today holds considera-
BILE place as an avenue of commerce.
About Is, 900, 900 tons of freight coal,
grain, lumber, iron and steel products
annually pass through that stream.
All told the navigable length of the
Mississippi and its tributaries is $4,000
miles, about five times the distance by
railroad from New York to San Fran
cisco. The Mississippi from the falls
of st. Anthony to its mouth measures
2,16l miles. The Missouri can be ira
versed by fat-bottomed boats for 2, 300
miles. The Ohio is navigable for near.
ly 1000 miles. Each of these large
rivers has its affluents- Mississippi
alone over forty = capable of water
transportation in their lower portions
Many large cities, manufacturing com
munities and centers of agricultural
production, have sprung up along theil
banks, but water traffic has been prac
ticaly abandoned during the year Of
their rapid upbuilding.
Europe makes far better use of its
natural waterways. The Volga, its
largest river, which is navigable fol-
steamboats, for 1000 miles, has year
ly traffic of Ia, 900, 900 tons. The Dniep
err is open to steam navigation nearly
its entire length Of | 400 miles anC
feeds the seaports of the Baltic. The
Rhine, the most important river com
mercially in Europe, is lined thick with
vessels for 700 miles, from Basel to the
North sea. The Elbe is charged with
traffic from far above Dresden, aud fol
/ 500 miles the Danube serves as the
chief waterway of central Europe. Ar
interlocking system of canals also con.
meets the Rhine and the Danube anc

mr. MISSfSS IPFY WATERWAYS.

In his address before the Memphis
convention President Roosevelt heartily
indorsed the general scheme of develop
ing the natural waterways of the Miss
issippi valley The only qualification
he gave to his approval of such a
national undertaking was that the work
should be treated Systematically and
that main streams should be thoroughly
improved before the branches were de-
veloped.
Within forty years, during the great
period Of railroad building and growth
of the west, the tonnage of the Miss
issippi has dwindled to almost nothing.
As late as 1871 it was 1905 tons. last
year it had shrunk to 6, 59l tons. Half
a century ago over 1900 steamboats,
annually touched at st. Louis, and even
st. Paul boosted over 500.

MINING THE RICH STAND me
BURDEN.

Oshkosh Northwestern,
The Tomah Monitor Herald tells of a
milkman in that city who charges poor
customers five cents quart and rich
ones eight cents, under the theory that
the people who can really afford to
stand the increased cost of living should
be willing to take the burden Off those
who cannot afford to pay high prices
without suffering. Oshkosh has milk
man who operates under a somewhat
similar plan, charging customers who
go out to the wagon five cents a quart
and those who insist on having their
milk delivered at their back doors six
cents. Obviously this is founded on the
same idea which aetuates the Tomah
dealer, for as usual thing it is the rich
and well-to-do who have their milk de-
livered at their doors, while the humble
cottager is glad enough for the oppor-
tunity to save the extra cent by answer
the milkman's call in the good old-fash-
ioned manner, which was the only prac-

evasion. II all persons of wealth paid
their honest and fair share of taxes it
would serve to considerably tighten the
burden Of the poorer classes, and the
latter would then have more to provide
for their really pressing necessities. The
discrimination in apportioning taxes, in
fact. is just opposite from the discrimi-
nation practiced by the milk dealer
cited. 1t is discrimination in favor of
the rich and against the poor.
