outline Of the railroad side of the
two-ccnt fare Legislature. He says:
Takes have increased twenty ia
twenty-five per cent, material thirty
per cent and labor twelve per cent.
AT the same time freight rates have
been cut an average of fifteen per
cent. ana passenger rates th.rly-thrcc
per cent, 1t is condition of affairs
that spells ruin.
In Nebraska our rates have been
cut to such an extent that strictly

the people say. Yes, we are, but 1t
Is our interstate business which
earns them. Elgh.y-liyc per cent. of
our business is Interstate ANA only
fifteen per cent. is business within
this state
But this argument that We are pay
ing dividends is invalid, for the su.
premc court has said that the state
cannot point to Interstate business
producing profits ms an argument for
lower rates any more than the carrier
can point to It's losses on It's lntrastatc

begun with all possible Dispatch
Mr.. Baldwins last statement does
not conform with the dispatches
which have been coming from Chi
cage, saying that the carriers intend
cd soon to abandon all litigation and
accept the lower rates. If the two
cent rate Is unrcmuncratiyn they
cannot accept it and perform their
duty to the stockholders of their
roads. Possibly the dispatches have
really meant only that the companies
were preparing to make test of tho
new rates. That. of course, would
be the sensible thing to do. just as
was agreed between the Missouri
roads and the federal court when the
rate question was brought up by At.

A Roman Mirror

They found it in her hollow marble bed,
There where the numberless dead cities sleep,
They found it lying where the spade struck deep,
A broken mirror by a maiden dead.
These tbines-the beads she about her throat
Alternal blue and amber all untled
A lamp to light her way and on one SIDE
The toll pay to that strange ferryooat.
No trace today of what in her was far!
Only the record of long years grown green
JTpon the mirrors 1usteress dead sheen,
Crown dim at last, when all else withered there
Dead broken luserless 1t keeps for me
