INVITING REACTION.

Under this head the Milwaukee
Sentinel presents sane and sensible
editorial on. the subject of railroad
rate legislation, as follows:
1t is Interesting to observe that
many of the state legislatures which
have enacted flat two-cent fare laws
have merely been interested in the
question as to whether they had the
power to pass two-cent fare law.
It has not been question in too
many instances whether the railroad
companies affected would make or
lose money on a two-cent basis. It
has not been question whether the
railroad companies could provide
decent service at such a rate. Many
states have not seemed to care wheth-.
er OF not such rate would put the
companies into the hands of receivers,
but they have merely taken into con-
sIderation the fact that everybody
wanted to travel for two cents mile,
and therefore they should have it.
The legislature may pass an act
providing for one-half cent fare, so
far as the right to pass the act is
concerned; but the law would not
stand the test of the courts if such
rate were not a just and reasonable,
one There lies the distinction and
many of the states seem to have found
It impossible to comprehend it.
Judging from reports, it seems
pretty clear also that some Of the
state legislatures have enacted two
cent fares merely as a political sop
TO the people, well knowing the rate
liked to be unreasonable and therefore
Illegal and that the final decision on
the matter would come from the
courts 9Sss. IL
It does not seem to do much good
20 call to the attention Of the people
who are pursuing the railroads with
such VIrnlence the dangerous result
of unjust legislation, not alone ais a.
business proposition, but because it
win result in due season in reaction
which viii swing too far the other
way. 1..
The people will learn all these
Things for themselves after awhile,
no doubt, and 1t will be a sorry day.
Tor the corporation baiters, both as to
Individuals and sections Of the press.
when the people do comprehend the
fun significance of unreasonable and
indispensable anti railroad legisla-
lion. even as the socialist rampage
brought about the practical downfall
OF the leaders of that party.

Treat All Alike,

The United States Senate has &C.
cepted the proposition Of the House Of
representatives to increase the salar.
les of senators, members Of the house
and territorial delegates to $500 an.
nually and the vice-president, the
speakers Of the house and the mem.
bers of the presidents cabinet to S12,-
600. Now" says the Greenville
Mountaineer, III such an increase was
needed high up the line, the time has
come when those lower down should
be treated likewise. The railroad mail
agents and the rural mail carriers are
asking for additional pay, and they
deserve it. The men who risk their
lives at the various life saving sta
tions on our coast and on the great
lakes are not paid sufficient salaries.
The clerks in the several departments
of the government in Washington are
clamoring for increased pay. The boys
who man u ships in the navy are
asking for more pay and it is stated
that the main reason why the young
men Of our country are so reluctant in
enlisting is the small pay allowed
them. The case of this is that the
cost of living has increased and wages
have stood still and have not advan.
ced with the prices of living. Rents
have advanced along with everything
else and the condition of a poor clerk
on a small salary is deplorable." The
pay OF the rural mail carriers should
be increased.

They don't trust a penny's worth, but
make you pay cash before you got the
goods and the freight besides. If any
thing is wrong with the goods or they
do not suit, they will not exchange
them for you. They pay no taxes into

Kick, Farmers. Kick.

AASA AAoA AAsSA
AS Z class tho farmers got very Lit.
tie for tho taxes they pay, and the
cause Of it is they do not stsnl up for
THAR rights and pull together. They
are the only people we know of that
let other people f1 the prices Of what
they have to sell. About election
times the candidates are as sweet Is
peaches, but they soon forget all about
the farmer. Take az IN example the
free delivery Of mail in rural mail
houses by means Of the rural mail car
riers, They have proven 8 greater
benefit and blessing to the farmers
than was anticipated by the most
sanguine. A farmer who has once en-.
joyed tho advantages of the rural mail
service would hardly know how to
live without ii. 1t did not come to the
farmer, however, until he had many
times earned it. The farmers are our
heaviest tax payers. What property
they have is in plain sight and is tax.
ed, and yet the city man had bis mail
delivered for thirty years before tho
great convenience was given the man
who feeds The world. Even now the
man who delivers the city mail Is paid
more than the man who delivers the
country mail. Why Is thlsP Simply
because the man we send to represent
us in Congress is under the impression
that the city man Is entitled to some
thing better than the man who lives
In the country. This Is nonsense,
and If tho farmers would kick q little
IL would be remedied.
