HUGHES VS.. ROOSEVELT.

Governor Hughes takes exception
to President Roosevelt's doctrine for
national supervision and regulation Of
corporations doing an interstate bus
mess. Governor Hughes is just now
making a tour of New York county
fairs and is dealing out opposition to
the presidents federal supervision
theory. 1t is said that politicians in
the east believe that this active OPP
position from a republican so promin-
ent as Governor Hughes will tend, II
nothing more, to bring the matter to
an issue in the next session Of con-
gress. Governor Hughes may make
this plank upon which to seek the
presidential nomination, but it is point
ed out that his opposition comedies
with that of Bryan.
1t is believed by supporters of the
presidents theory that agitation will
only tend to strengthen the view OF
the administration that federal super
vision must eventually come. One
Strong argument just now being used

in this view is that the forty-five SOW

AS more and more defects in the

out last Tuesday in Nebraska, are
coming to light, there comes strong
err and stronger sentiment among the
people Of the state who pay the taxes,
that the law must be repealed by the
next legislature. There Is In northern
Nebraska, at least, a growing senti-
ment that the taxpayers are already
too heavily burdened to add a couple
of hundred thousand dollars year to
the states expenses when no improve.

We are told In dispatch from Aims

2-CENT FARE IN PENNSYLVANIA

2-CENT FARE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Pennsylvania, together with large
number of other states in the union,
enacted a two-cent passenger fare law
at the last session of the legislature.
In Pennsylvania, as in other states,
the enactment of this two-cent fare
law was more the result of agitation
than Of investigation. AS might have
been clearly foreseen by the Pennsyl-
vania legislators, the two-cent fare law
had no chance to stand permanently if
the railroads of the state could demon
strate to the courts that the thirty
three and third percent reduction in
confiscatory and unjust. The case has
already come to test in the Pennsyl-
vania courts and, the Pennsylvania
railroad having demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the court that a two
cent fare was not compensatory, the
new two-cent fare law has been de-
clared invalid. The case will now go
to the United States supreme court
and If that tribunal affirms the judg-
ment of the lower court, the people of
Pennsylvania will be compelled to re-
turn to the old three-cent passenger
fare. In other words, If the two-cent
law is held invalid in the higher court
as it has been in the lower court, the
people Of Pennsylvania will have a
perfect right to hold their last years
Legislature absolutely responsible for
depriving the public of a reasonable
reduction in passenger rates.
AS the result Of a campaign begun
against the railroads for the purpose
of abolishing rebates and discrimina
tions, and obtaining equal rates for all
there swept over the country a wave
of agitation demanding not equal rates
but lower rates all along the line moi
through any claim that lower rates
would be reasonable rates but through
a desire more than anything else t
punish the railroads for past sins
This plan of action was deplored by
many who saw that such a campaign
of adverse legislation, based upon NJ
investigation or logical evidence, wal
the wrong kind of procedure for bring
ing any lasting benefits to the public
at large.

EXTKND- CITY LTMlTS.

Announcement that the city nd.

gcstion that Norfolk's legal city limits
should be speedily expanded so as to
include the entire town, will be receiv.
cd with approval by every resident OF
Norfolk and by majority of those liv'

boundry. This Is one of the most Inn
portunt steps that It would be possible
for Norfolk to take at this time.
As has been pointed out In The News
frequently OF late, there are very
large number OF people living just out
side the limits OF Norfolk but who
are to all practical purposes citizens
of tho town. 1t will work to their ad-
vantage as we'll as to the benefit of
Norfolk when these outsiders join
hands with the city proper for the good
of all. Many privileges that do not
extend to these residents living just
outside the city, will be gained for
them by this expansion. Sidewalks,
water, sewer, lights, cheaper insur-
ance, city mail delivery and many
other advantages will go hand in hand
TO them with the extension OF the
towns limits. And Norfolk will gain

census is concerned. There is not

as It really ought to be. Everybody

The news that this matter has been
definitely taken up for immediate
action is good news to all Norfolk
