AGAINST CONFlSCATI0N.
Sound Arguments Put Forward In the
Famous Hughes Veto.


Referring To the two cent fare bill
which he recently vetoed Governor
Hughes OF New York gave utterance
To- his views on the subject Of coniisca
tory legislation as follows:
1T is OF the greatest importance not
only that railroad corporations should
be compelled To respect their public
obligations, but also that they should
be permitted 10 operate under condi-
tlons which will give n fair return
for their service. Upon this depends
not simply the security OF investors
but the security OF their employees and
the protection OF every form Of indus
try and commerce through the main
tcnance and extension OF necessary
transportation facilities. Nothing could
he more opposed 10 the interests OF the
community as whole than to cripple
transportation corporations by arbI'
trary reductions Of earnings
IL fully appreciate the fact that those
who have promoted this bill believe
that such rate would be fair. But !
deem II most important that the policy
of dealing with matters Of this sort
arbitrarily, 10y legislative rule of gen
eral application without reference to
the demands of justice In particular
cases. should he condemned.
Every workingman, every trades
man and every citizen believing him
self To have aught at stake in the pros
pcrity of the country should deter
minedly oppose IT, for II not only
threatens the stability Of business en-
terprise which makes our prosperity
nossiblc but Il substitutes unreason
for sound judgment, the III considered
demands of resentment for the spirit
Of fair play and makes impossible pa

abuses"

Peonnpe Punishment.

Some papers closely associated
with the Ritter Lumber Company
and enlisted in the service Of cor
poratIons try 10 make !, appear that
the lumber company was really not
guilty and merely pleaded guilty to
spare some Of It's employees sentences
TO prison. The reason for pleading
guilty does not appear sufficient.
For. the company itself must have
sanctioned the acts of IT'S employees
lrfs the peonage cases and ordinarily
some Of the highest officials Of cor.
poratlons are those engaged in the
commissions OF crimes against the
government and the laws.
As yet 1t has not been shown that
the lumber company in the instance
in question did not know OF the VIC
lations nor in any way directed las
employees not TO commit such viola
tions, therefore It must have known
and sanctioned these violations, and
consequently was guilty.
Some papers commend Judge Day
toms fines as being severe. when in
fact they were the minimum and
therefore not severe. However, in
sum total they we're undoubtedly
enough to be effective and Will
doubtless deter others from indulg-
ing in such violations.
