THE FREQUENT TERMINAL
POINT

We are to a certain extent sympa-
thetic with Santa Barbara and Ven
tu-a and the other California towns
IN their desire 10 secure terminal rates,
Yet We can easily see why a railroad
can not establish terminal points every
Few miles along the line.
The case of santa Barbara is quite
different from that Of Phoenix. The
rate back" To those towns is not q
heavy one like It is between Phoenix
ana the coast terminal points and does
not therefore place n great burden
upon consumers. Il is true that it
restricts the operations Of the, jo5bers
Of those smaller California towns to
their city limits and particularly puts
them out Of business but the people at
large are not greatly Inconvenience.
not nearly as much so rs still other
points would be if there should be such
n readjustment Of terminal rates as
Santa Barbara IS trying TO effect.
In Phoenix the case is different as
20 consumers and retail merchants
though not as to jobbers who also find
themselves up against the Los Angeles
jobber within a few miles from town.
But the consumer in whom there is
the greatest concern becomes the bur
den bearer. for the local rate from the
coast to Phoenix is paid by him. He
and not the jobber is the man whose
relief commands the first attention.
But the coast towns jealous Of Los
.'rgeIes. san Diego and other terminal
points. We think viii not be able to
make out much Of a case against the
railroads.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in spite OF its tendency to con-
slant and diversified activity will not
likely be disposed TO begin fooling with
the carefully adjusted rates within a
small area II southern California lest
the whole system come topping down
like 4 house Of cards.

THE MILITARY RAILROAD PASS

THE MILITARY RAILROAD PASS.
Il is proposed in the senate to
amend the railroad rate law so that
soldiers and officers Of the army may
be given reduced rates or even free
transportation. The average citizen
will not be able 10 understand where
fore. The senate was the body which
abolished the pass system in its en-
tirety and which made the issuing OF
reduced rates a criminal discrim!na-
tion as between citizens. There were
some few exception in favor Of minis
tiers Of the gospel. indigents. etc, with
all of which We find no fault.
The senate provision with reference
20 free" transportation is evidently
framed in the interest of the officers
Of the army since the common soldier
while he might be granted a reduced
rate. would hardly become the r=cipi-
ent OF a pass.
We can see no especial claim that
either the soldier or his officer has up
on the railroads that any other person
may not have. In being transported
about the country in the course OF
their duties, it is the business OF the
government to provide them with
transportation. In the case Of the pri-
vate soldier or the commissioned
officer moving about the country not
on duty. though still in the service.
there is no provision by the army order
for has travel pay, though in the case
Of the commissioned officer whatever
may be his business. he is always al
lowed travel pay.
Now that the government has asSum-
ID that the pass system is bad
thing. deInoralizing alike To the rail-
roads and the public, its own en-
ployes in whatever capacity should b.
the last to be exoosed TO such democrat
ization or made the favored subjects Of
discrimination.

necessary that the superintendent
should have had experience as a teach
er but that it is possible that such ex-
perience might be & possible drawback
For instance If he had been an unfit
teacher. his experience will be a hand
leap in his work as superintendent.
What the Citizen really means it il
Eliminates by this remarkable simile.
To be a good judge of a horse does
not require that the man shall have
had experience as a horse. nor to be a
good Judge of a teacher Is it needful
that one should have taught"
This line Of reasoning leads us to add
that to judge Of the proper quallfica-
tions Of a superintendent it is not nee
essary that the judge should be an
ass. Iftsys
This question OF school superintend-
ents reminds us Of the incumbency Of
Professor Eslavio Vigil some time
school superintendent Of Bernalillo
county with the full approval and
warm support OF the Citizen. The most
prominent qualifications Of Professor
Vigil were that he was a saloonkeeper
and politician and that he was so
slightly Handicapped by erroneous
scholastic notions that he could neither
read nor write the English language.
and it was said by some that he could
not write any other.

How Suckers Are Hooked.

In all the phraseology of tricky
finance there is no word so over
worked as guarantee" And this
means that experience has proved It
to be. highly effective In the hooking
Of suckers" Depend upon it that
no word or phrase achieves marked
popularity in the literature OF the
small investment appeal which has
not demonstrated its rare effectiveness
as an agency of deception; the phrase
that does not draw tie checks is
promptly thrown out by these shrewd
fishers of men who check UP their
returns as accurately and systematic
ally as the most legitimate mail order

~ I'D you ever observe the
fine craft with which
the experienced angler
picks the fly for his
trout hook? The nice discrimina-
ton with which he chooses between
several daintily feathered bats
which, to the ordinary angler,
would appear to offer to the shy
and tickle trout about equal posi-
biblities of temptation! And the
more timid and backward the trout
happen to be at that particular
place and season the greater the
care with which the follower of
Walton viii weigh the merits of
one fly against those of another,
placing theory and hearsay evil
dence on one side and his own per-
sonal experience on the other.
All the cunning and diScrimina-
ton which the expert angler throws
into the choice of the feathers
which are to disguise the hook and
tempt the trout, the clever invest
ment schemer puts into the picking
of phrases with which to feather
his appeals to the credulity of the
small investors of the country.
Angling for trout and fishing for
investment suckers" have many
points of similarity, and the most
obvious of these is the art with
which the bait is chosen and ar
ranged. In the one case the ma
terials employed are feathers of
varied colors; in the other the skill
of the workmen is demonstrated by
the cunning with which he handles
words and phrases which expert
ence proves to be sure IT. their ap-
peal to the curiosity, the interest,
and the credulity Of men and wom-
en- who have saved a few dollars
and wish to make them productive.
