Most Important Matter Pend;nq
Daily News Special.

Jackson, Miss, October 21.-The
Mississippi Railroad Commission will
meet in regular session Tuesday. and
the most important matter pending
on the docket for consideration is the
request of the Jackson Board of
Trade for a revision of the freight
rates from this point.
The Board of Trade is especially
anxious to secure a revision of the To-
cal tariffs on the Columbia Menden-
hall branch of the Gulf and Ship Is
land road. in order that the whole
salers and jobbers of this place may
be put on an equal competitive basis
with the wholesale interests at Gulf
port. 1t is believed that the railroad
officials will recognize the justice Of
this claim and grant the rates desired.
Several other matters are pending
on the docket, and. among other mat
ters, the commission will discuss the
outline of the narrative report of the
body to be submitted to the coming
session of the legislature.

May Franchises Be Capitalized
Interesting Problem is Now Being
Considered in Courts of NeW York

1t is the belief of the members of
the public service commission that
the question of the capitalization of
franchises will figure largely in the
faction and electric light investiga-
lions, and that, therefore, the final
determination Is of the utmost i'm
portance. Should Judge Lacombe up
hold the master the board will appeal
the case, no matter what the other

The PENIS Grove Record
FRIDAY, SEPT, Is, 1907.

The Supreme Court of the State of
the Pennsylvania Railroad has declared
the new law limiting the passenger rate
to 2 cents a mile to be unconstitutional.
Out in the more sparely State Of Mime.
sofa where a 2 cent law was enacted it
has been proved by a few months eX-
perience that it is not only constitu-
uional but more profitable to the rail
road companies. The constitutionality
of many laws depend mostly upon the
political education environments and in
fuences which are back of the pOliticaI
powers which put and keep judges in
office. They are mostly all like Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson who was taken
to task for destroying the U. S. Bank,
on the grounds that he was acting con-
trary to his oath of office in swearing to
support the constitution. He said: 81
swore to support the Constitution as L
understood it, not as somebody else I'M
derStandS it."

Soaring Prices.

That high prices are not at present
confined to this country is argued in a
government bulletin recently issued by
the department of commerce and labor.
The basis of value on importationS Is
the "actual market value or wholesale
price of such merchandise as bought
and sold in usual wholesale quantities
at the time of expectation 20 the Unit
ed States in the principal markets of
the country whence imported" Com
parsons are made between prices in
April, 1897, 1906 and 1907. For in
stance, raw cotton, which averaged
11.3 cents per pound in April, 1897,
was 1914 cents in 1906 and PIP cents
in 1907.
Among the articles showing a mark
ed increase, in some cases 100 per cent
since 1897 and about 30 per cent in the
year 190G-O7, are india rubber, raw
silk, lumber, raw wool, tea and tin in
pigs, bars and blocks.
Wool of all classes increased in the
decade from 1897 to 1906 and also adj
vanced in 1907: Tea increased 2 cents
a pound in ten years and 4 cents a
pound in 1907. Sugar and coffee show
ed a slight reduction in 1906 and 1907
from the average in 1897. There have
been lower years than 1897 since that
date for some articles; hence the prices
in 1907 are at times double those of a
few years ago. For instance, clothing
wool averaged u cents in 1902 as
against 17.3 cents in 1897, "a cents in
1906 and % cents in April, 1907. The
relation of this advance in certain arti-
cles to the total value of our imports
is thus treated in the government re-
port:
How much this advance in prices of the
articles imported is responsible for the
great increase in the total value of ouI
imports-an increase of more than 100 pei
cent in 1907, as compared witt 1S99-cannot
be accurately determined, but the fact
that prices per unit of quantity have in
nearly all cases advanced and in some
cases increased from so to 100 per cent
suggests that at least an appreciable part
/ of the growth in the figures of our i'm
ports Is due to advance in prices, a con-
dition which doubtless applies also in g
greater or less degree to the increase 1r
total value of our exports.

Who Shall Be Cove rnOr?

The Democratic State convention to
nominate a candidate for Governor will
meet in Trenton next Tuesday. The
party is more united than for years and
there are more candidates to choose
from.
Frank S. Katenzenback, former
Mayor of Trenton, and Judge Franklin
Childs, of Essex County, are considered
the leading candidates with most influ-
entail backing. There are likely to be
several favorite sol in the counties.
The chances are that Hudson, at the
outset of the convention. will stand fol
former State Comptroller William c.
Heppenheimer; that Essex will be fol
Child: that Somerset will urge former
Senator ChildS; that Union will be TO
James +. MARITIME; that HunterdOn may
vote for Senator VIM. C~.Gebhardt; that
Mercer and several other counties will
be for Katzenbach, and that some
of South jersey will urge Judge
Howard Carrow. If it shall become
apparent that neither Child nor Kat
zenback is the man Joseph Z. Nowrey
Ex-Mayor of Camden, may be centereI
on, but it looks like KatZenback.
The Republicans will meet in TrentOl
on Thursday and nominate their candi
date for Governor. Judge Frank Fort
is most prominently spoken Of as the
coming candidate, but Ex. Judge Col
Inns, of Hudson aed Senator Colby's
candidate Sheriff Sommers, of ESSEX
are uncertain quantities. Senator Col
by and his independent followers will
make the contest the most uncertain in
campaign for twelve years.

Summer is ended and with it have
gone the visitors and most of the cot
tagers. In years past Penn's Grove
bore a bad reputation among those who
came from Wilmington and Philadel-
phia The revolving immortality which
led to the great mass meeting and the
organization of an active Law and
Order League had n great and good
effect in preserving good order and bet
ter morals than our town has had for
years. The good moral effect spread to
the cities and had its influence i'll stop
ping some bad characters from coming.
1t stopped Sunday work and drunken
revelry along the shore. May the good
influence be kept up next year.
