Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 29.--Unprecedented
increase in the prosperity in all PROP
ability means a very substantial in
crease in the railroad assessment this
year. The official figures given out by
the secretary of the executive council
today show that the railroads have IN
creased their gross earnings S7,O07, ,s4S
over that of the year ending Dec. 81,
1905 The total gross earnings for all
the steam railroads of the state for the
year 1906 was s69,7s1,34s. The year
before it was s62,7S3,5OO and for 1904
the gross earnings were S57,396,S4S.
While the law prescribes that the
executive council in fixing the assess
ment of the railroads shall ta ke every
thing into consideration it is notice
able that the assessment Of the rail-
roads has. been following very closely
the gross earnings. According to all
appearances there should then be a
very substantial increase in the assess
ment this year. Some years ago the
assessment did not follow so closely the
gross earnings but as illustrating the
trend in more recent years these f1s-
ures from the report Of the executive
council NAV be given:

Government ownership is not an i'm

people still hope for effective regula-
ton. While they so hope they will not
consider ownership. While many Dem
ocrats believe in, and Mr.. Bryan is
one of them. that public ownership OF
railroads is the ultimate solution OF
the problem, still those who believe
that the public will finally. in self-de
Tense. be driven to ownership, realize
that the regulation must be tried un
der the most favorable circumstances
before the masses will be ready to try
more radical remedy.
"Regulation cannot be sufficiently
tried within the next year There is
no desire anywhere to make govern
ment ownership an issue in 1908. Mr.
Bryan fully agrees with those who be
lieve that it be unwise to turn atten
ton from regulation on which the peo
pie are ready to act. to government
ownership. upon which the people are
not ready to act. To inject the govern

campaign would simply give represen

dodge the issue and deceive the pub

We are all creatures Of habit.
men and women alike. and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character of
both. The root of all bad manners is
selfishness; when self ever is first. FORE
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear. and drops so
FAR behind in time that 1t disappears
altogether. "One cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette of society
when at home" True. for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
ciety together. but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be SO much the habit with each OF lis
that 1t will become our second nature.
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or leg.
