Moldavia, Roumania, advices have been
received there from the Austrian frontier

that the anti-Jewish outbreak in Rou-

Peasants have attacked and plundered
Jews at Burduzheni who are fleeing over
the frontier TO Itzkani. About 20o0 fugi-
tives. mostly women and children, al
ready have crossed the frontier. Other
reports declare that further serious dis
turbances have occurred at Botosahni,
where the peasants have set fire 10 the
houses of Jews, and as a result almost
the entire town is in flames.

Peasants In Revolt.
Bucharest, Roumana, March l9.-The
asrarian movement in North Moldavia,
where the peasants are in revolt against
the exactions and tyranny of the farmers
and the new taxes recently voted by The
Roumaniaae parliament, is rapidly spread
ing and is causing much anxiety to the
government. The town of Botosahani was
raided yesterday by 1000 peasants, who
plunde, ed the large Jewish quarter and
maltreated the Jewish storekepers. Troops
have been sent there and to other points
where disturbances have occurred. The
government is preparing to take energetic
measures to suppress the agitation. Fur

Cordial Relations Revived.


You expect me TO talk to you tonight
on the relations between the railways
and the public. You doubtless already
know that this Is a subject to which l
have devoted much time and attention.
Cordial relations with the people along
- - ~ have always been desired by
the railways s.l-ces'- ---..,. s,,a ..,.----4i-
OF whether railway managers in the past
have always adopted the best course to
secure such relations, it may be accepted
now as admitted that the railways OF the
present and of the future must cultivate
the good will and cooperation of the pub
c ,hey must do this by the adoption
and PRONUNCIATION of economically ana
commercially sound principles as to the
conduct of their business. Their policy
must be one of frank publicity, In which
the people dependent on railway sys-
tenn for transportation must be taken
into its confidence. They must be made
acquainted with what the road is doing
and with what it proposes to do They
must know the limitations upon its abili-
ty to meet the demands made upon it and
the difficulties that stand In the way
of expansion of its facilities and they
must be frankly informed of the reasons
which compel the adoption of policies,
that unexplained, might seem to be dlc-
tated by caprice Indifference
Mr. Finley reviewed the progress OF
the south since the civil war and the
part played by the railways of that sec
ton in making its industrial and COM
mercial development possible. He de-
clared that the pressing need Of the south
today is for better and more extensive
transportation facilities, and said:
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-03-20
Reasonable Return.


IF the railways are to secure the large
amounts of new capital required TO enh
Bile them to meet the rapidly increasing
demands for their services. their credit
must be such as to assure investors of a
reasonable return upon their money.
Credit. in turn, depends upon incomes,
and income depends upon the charges
made for transporta tion-the only COM
modify a railway has for sale The south
now has rates that enable southern pro-
ducers to market their products. in widely
separated home and foreign markets on
cessfullv with similar products from 9TH
or localit'o hut it has not the means OF
moylnp those products to market as
promptly as is desirable. Every shipper
wants low rates, but when rates are so
low as to enable him to reach compet-
tive markets on terms at least as favor
able as those of his competitors, prompt
and efficient service becomes of more
importance than rate reduction. Freight
rates in the United States are the lowest
In the world and in many cases, when
conpa red with the -,o'"o Of the commodi-
" transported. are inapprecable. The
imperative need Of the south today is
imprOved transportation serr-f"~ and the
margin of profit is now low that any
material reduction of raj tes would impair
earnings and credit In the nature of
things the south cannot have both low
rates and better service The choice must
be made between the two, and 7 am sure
| that the i-teufpe-t hus1ess men of this
section Will apree with me that improved
facilities are more urgently needed than
any reduction in charges.

When an individual undertakes to
influence public opinion and thereby
votes, he should have sufficient cou-
rage to sign his name to a commune
cation. The other sheet contained a
communication last night from some
one signing himself as Taxpayer"
urging the election of Mr.. Ella. The
individual says that he is not resi-
dent here, but is a taxpayer. Now
we never had high regard for anyone
