FOR COAL
TO Be FAIR
In Their DISSEMINATION TO Goal Com.
Paaies, If Senate Bin Passes
Both Houses.

One of the few really important
bills Of the session is senate bill isz.
which has passed its seeoond reading.
This measure provides relief for
shippers, as It makes It mandatory
for all railroads OF the state 70 alIot
equitably, cars for the coal operat-
ors. Under its provisions the rail-
road companies must not only make
an equitable allotment Of cars but
must keep and post daily the num-
Der OF cars designated and aIlstted
to1eyeFyeshipper en- their lines: sdch'
list TO be used as evidence In case OF
the complaint OF any shipper. and any
suit that may arise therefrsu.
1t also makes II maldatsry on
every road to make the proper con-
nections with independent short
lines that may hereafter be con
structed. and while 1T Is patterned
after the interstate commerce law.
especially the Law regulating rail-
road freight rates, recently enacted
by congress. IT is confined to the
state and its enforcement is guar
anteed in the circuit courts Of the
state by mandatory injunction.
The bill is intended to correct one
Of the greatest evils of today in the
coal business. without a shipper
having to go before the interstate
commerce commission, and to rem
edy another evil of the present car
allotment, which is too oftea caused
by local car distributor, and not by
the Arrangements of the railroads.

Ine1cuSable Prudery.

Some may protest against the al
legged publication of indecent testi-
mony in the Thaw trial, but 1t is a
fact nevertheless that the newspa-
pers have carefully eliminated all of
the obscenity in their reports OF the
case.
When Mrs. Thaw was on the stand
telling of her alleged seduction by
White the newspapers reported in
the proper places such terms as the
following: Here witness describ-
ed conditions unfit for publication in
newspaper" One object of our
law besides the melting out of pun
ishment for an offense. is the proven
ton of similar offenses by the ex-
ample Of the punishment and the
knowledge that there is a punish
ment for the orense. To withhold
them would be to- obscure and re-
tard the objects OF the law. Proper
publication and report of an i'm
portant trial such as the one in
progress in New York without In
dulging in testimony of indecency
can be done as It should be.
Some people are never satisfied,
however. 1t is an interesting fact
though that the people who howl
most about the printing Of this al
legged obscenity in the newspapers
are the ones who appear to be the
best informed about the Thaw trial.

It seems to US that II the legisla.
ture would compel railroads having
more than fifty miles to sell thou
sand mile tickets at two cents a mile,
and even two thousand mile tickets
at the same rate, goods in the hands
Of any person and good till used. II
would be going far enough in re
Spouse to any sentiment for legisla-
ton on these Charleston
Gazette.
If the railroads can AFFORD to car
~ as a passenger the man who has
twenty dollars to tie up for awhile
in railroad tickets for ten miles at
the rate of two cents a mile, GER
.tatinly they can AFFORD to carry the
poorer man at the same rate. The
Gazette advocates the continuance
of a most unjust and unfair dis
elimination which the people have
long been protesting against. Rail-
road tickets ought to be the same
price to all. rich and poor alike.
Evidently the Gazette is in the
grasp Of the railroad lobby.

Pass the HolIe RnI.

At this distance from the seat OF
state government where the legis-
lsture is In session, 1t would appear
to all fair-minded men firm in the
belief OF equal rights to all that the
two-cent rate bill as recently passed
by the state senate is unfair and un-
just to the people Of the state as
whole. The Hole bill, which pass
ed the house, seems to be much more
in the interests of the people as IT
provides a fiat rate of two cents a
mile on all railroads. The provis-
ion in the senate bill exempting
railroad lines under fifty miles in
length seems to be not only class
legislation but also in the interests
of railroad corporations which by
artifice and design would slice up
their roads in order to comply With
the provision and thus eyade the
real purpose OF the Jaw.
With very few exceptions. the
railroads in West Virginia are own
ed, controlled and operated by the
companies owning large trunk lines
and most OF the branch lines are in
fact parts OF the big systems. In
the past, most OF these branch lines
have been given in name a distinct
incorporation the purpose of which
was to eyade the Limitation or
three-cent fare, resultant from which
four and five cents a mile have been
charged. II this situation were not
to be taken advantage Of. 1t would
not seem to be unjust or unreason-
able for various small lines such as
that from Pennsboro to HarrlsvIlle
TO charge more than two cents
mile for the reason a higher charge
Is necessary to Justify the operation
of such a short road. But when IT
comes to limit OF nifty miles It is
easy 70 see that the bill is in the in
terests Of the trunk lines as these
have branches not longer than fifty
miles, sample OF which is the line
from clarksburg to Fairmont over
which passenger trafic has been very
heavy and for which more than three
cents a mile has been charged in the,
past. The same holds good as to
the line from Fairmont to Morgan
town. and there are numerous other
Instances. ga TO-
Besides. from the standpoint Of
class Legislation the claim is adj
vanced that the senate bill in its
present form is unconstitutional and
arising from this contention would
doubtless be numerous liugations
which would bring about confusion
paralyzing the enforcement Of rate
regulations and charges. With such
situations probable It appears TO the
Telegram that there is but one safe
way OF achieving justice to all in the
matter OF passenger rates and that
is to enact the Hole bill as passed
by the house or with few amend
ments II necessary which will not
destroy the main force of the bill.
namely. that railroads shall not
charge more than two cents a mile to
any passenger whether he be rich or
poor or riding on mileage book or
otherwise.
