What Others Say.
OHIO DEMANDS FAIR PLAY

Ot1IO DCM AhNDO hlie l<h
Ohio is not fighting the rail-
roads. 1t is mot seeking to
bring retribution upon them. But
it insists that they shall treat its
people fairly.
Much was expected of the State
Railroad Commission when it was
created. Though it has been work.
ing quietly and slowly it has been
accomplishing results. The two
most important cases it has taken
under consideration are now in
hand. One concerns the Ashland
4 Western Railroad. This line OK
tends from Ashland TO Castalia,
distance of twenty-eight miles.
Its rolling stock consists OF two
engines, two passenger ears and a
flat car. 1t has never carried
freight and has never paid a divi-
iend.
This state of affairs seemed to
be the result of a common form
f railroad procedure. The road
has an organization of its own,
but it is generally understood that
the Pennsylvania Company holds a
controlling interest in it's stock.
The commission has proceeded on
the assumption that the Pennsyl-
vania Company obtained the con-
troll because the little Ohio line is
in what is considers "its own terri
tory" That would explain why
it has been allowed to remain prac-
tically unused.
The railroad commission has be-
gui custer proceedings against the
Ashland & Western company. If
they are successful, the road will
be held for time by the court
and then sold to the highest bid
der. The purchaser must operate
it in good faith or he will in
turn be oustcd.
The other case involves the De.
troit. Toledo & Iron Railroad. This
line traverses Fulton, Henry, Put.
nam, Allen, Auglaize, Logan, Cham
paign, Clark, Fayette, Ross, Pike
Jackson and Lawrence counties
all but two of them devoted almost
exclusively to agricultural pur-
suits. For years this railroad has
been their principal medium OF
traffic north and south. But il
is being operated almost wholly fol
coal and iron. 1t hauls coal from
the Kentucky and West Virginia
fields outside the State, to supply
Michigan and for shipment from
lake ports. The ears return with
iron ore for the furnaces in Jack.
son and Lawrence counties. The
finarcial interests eff the railroad
are closely affiliated with the fin
ancial interests controlling the fur
naces and coal mines. The resul,
is that the farmers in long bell

Ohio are unable to get the service
which they sorely need.
In this case, also, the commission
will institute custer proceedings

THE SAME OLD GAME.

Ohio delegation in the next Nat
ional convention. This is to CON-
bine the selection of delegates to
the convention which shall chose
between him and Taft, with the
municipal elections next fall. The
state central committee is asked
to so arrange matters that this
will be done.
In SO far as this applies to the
choice Of Ohio republicans is
concerned, it makes little difference
to the people in general. The fight
between Foraker and Taft is on
in earnest and must be decided and
outside of the circle Of the politi-
clans and would-be politicians il
matters little how or when the
choice is made. But the effect
which such move would have
upon the municipal elections is OF
great Importance to everyone. Dur
ing recent years, the republicans
who have had full control of the
state government, with the excep'
ticn of the short period of Cover
nor PattisJn's administration, have
been coupling municipal elections
with state and national elections
in an effort to draw more closely
the party lines and prevent free
expression of the citizens in mum.

policy of the republican machine
in Ohio, which began with abolish

move was made for the express
purpose of defeating Tom L.
Johnson for mayor of Cleveland
Since that first move was mad'
to make all municipalities make th'
same political returns as the state
no chance has been lost to oblit
crate state issues with nationa
questions, and municipal issue
with state affairs.
This coming fall, promises t,
bring an election in which tn
people of the cities can expires

Iion the selection of delegates +
the convention which shall chos

for the support Of the Ohio del
egation in the next national con

The senator's reasons for such
move arc apparent.
First, he is now in control o
the machine, but he is rapidly los
ing control. Congressman Burtol
has championed the cause Of Taf
and Burton is man who i

recognized as a power, not onl,
in Ohio but in the nation. Ever,
inch gained by Burton is tha
much lost by Foraker. Forake
believes that if he postpones tn
choice of delegates to the state con
vention which shall name the dele
gates to the national convention
and outline their attitude, Burto
will have secured stronger hol
upon the voters. The sooner tn
choice is made the better will b
