Funston's Reference to Frisco People
Causes Much Discussion.

Causes Much Discussion.
San Francisco, June 24-In reply to
an invitation requesting the participa-
ton of the United States troops in
the Fourth of July parade General
Frederick Funston sent communica-
ton that has caused much discussion
among the members Of the committee
having in charge the coming celebra-
ton.
While the members refuse to give
out the letter for publication at this
time it is stated that one sentence
used is responsible for the discussion.
It appears that after thanking the
committee for the kind invitation ex-
tended to the troops General Funston
said he was loath to parade his men
in the streets of San Francisco ito
be-" as he is quoted, "sneered at and
jeered at by an unwhipped mob"
After considerable discussion it was
decided to appoint a special committee
to consider the matter and decide
whether any reply should be made.
Supervisor O'Neil was appointed
chairman and Rev. Philip Organ and

FLAT TWO-CENT RATE
Passenger Fares on All Railroads
Are to Be Reduced.
SECRET MEETING IN CHICAGO

Two Big Transcontinental Lines Said
to Have Served Notice on the 9th
ers That They Will Put the Lower
Rate Into Effect July l..
Chicago, June 24.-The Inter-Ocean
says:
Passenger rates on all railroads of
! the United States will be reduced to
| cents a mile. The lowering of the
! price and complete abolition of the old
3-cent rate will begin on July l.
This was the decision reached at a
| secret meeting here after long and
| heated discussion by the leading rail-
road presidents Of all the Western
| and transcontinental roads It was
not formal agreement, but is equally
binding, for two large roads doing a
transcontinental business are said to
| have served an ultimatum to others
that they would put the rate into eff
feet Immediately.
Following the meeting officials of
several roads admitted that they had
been forced to bow to public opinion
and anti-railroad legislation. They
said that no further fight would be
! made on the 2-cent laws already
| passed and that the roads would &C.
cept the inevitable.
Among those who are said to have
| attended the secret meeting we're
| President B. L. Winchell of the Chi
| cago, Rock Island and Pacific and
| President A. J. Earring of the Chicago,
| Milwaukee and st. Paul. Neither
would discuss the report
Another consideration said to have
forced the informal decision to cut
| the rate was the impossibility of
| charging cents in one state to con-
form to the law and attempting to
charge 3 cents when the passenger
| crossed the line into another state.

UP INC SNOW II where Tie DSiS-
fl ted Of it is. The Herald says:
On what Way has u reform
legislature and reform state
government benefited the
people? Has the state govern
ment been any better or more
economically administered under
the reformers than it was under
the machine whelps?" Has
increasing The assessments
on farm lands and decreasing
the assessments on bank stock
been a benefit to the people?
Are the farmers willing to pay
q higher assessment and
higher rate, while the bankers
ray a tax on a lower assessment
just to please this reform ring,
that has proved a failure? These
ase questions the voters and tax
payers of this state will have a
chance to answer at the next
election. Calling names such as

curs," and yellow corporations
Dogs are poor arguments for a
reform party to go before the
people with, and we doubt if
blackguardism will make many
votes for the would-be reformers
when the facts and figures show
that they have been the most
extravagant and expensive sci
of officials this state has ever
had.

editorially that the last admins

former congressman from this
state, has yielded to the pressure

county have not forgotten how
much they owe to Chas H..
Burke, for his work in securing
the passage If the free homes
bill, and if we mistake not, they
will give him a rousing vote.
When Burke and Martin were
in congress, South Dakota was
heard from, and people knew
