Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-03-14

With Harvey of Douglas and Hamer
of Buffalo only voting in the negative
and ninety-one members voting in the
affirmative, the house passed the anti
pass bill prepared by the railroad COM
mittee, with the emergency clause.
The bill was discussed at length in
the committee of the whole and nu-
merous amendments were defeated
and later it was called up and voted
upon, though Hamer tried to get it
recommitted, and then rushed to the
senate. 1t carries the emergency
clause Both Harvey and Hamer ex-
planned their votes by saying they
were in favor OF an anti-pass bill
such as the platform contemplated, but
this measure, each said, was too dras-
tic and not In line with the sentiment
of the republican state convention
The bill allows bona fide employees of
railroads to receive passes aud the
care takers of live stock, vegetables
and poultry and fruit. 1t knocks out
the political railroad lawyer and sur
geon, and allows to ride free only
those lawyers and surgeons who re-
ceive salary of at least $1,000 from
the railroad which employs them.

The house committee on railroads
granted railroad representatives a
final hearing on reciprocal demurrage
bills. Several hearings have been
granted, at which alleged defects in
pending bills were pointed out by
railroad men, who have, however,
contested against any legislation of
the kind proposed. An entirely new
measure will be drafted.

insurance bills introduced at the re-

ance companies were placed on the
general file. The friends Of the an
nual accounting plan saved one bill
from destruction which came up to
day. 1t provides for an annual appor
tionment only ON policies issued in
the future.

, School Athletics on the Level.

Practically every school in Vermont
which dabbles in athletics will work
under uniform rules this spring. Regu-
lations adopted by the Vermont School
masters club were suggested to the
various principals last fall, and several
adopted them at once. During the winter
a second letter was sent to the schools
not heard from, and nearly all replied
favoring the new rules.
1t is recommended that no student
shall be member Of team in basket
ball, baseball or track events unless he
mas been member of the school during
the term preceding that in which the
team is active. 1t is also recommended
that the secretary of the Schoolmasters
club ask the athletic committee OF the
University OF Vermont, Burlington, To
make the eligibility regulations of the
invitation track meet the same as those
adopted by the lower schools.
The schools which have adopted the
regulations are Brigham academy, Bakers
Held; Lyndon institute, Lyndonville;
Montpelier seminary, Montpelier; Gale
donna county grammar school, st. Johns
bury; st. Johnsbury academy, st. Johns
bury; Vermont academy, Saxtons River;

The Canadians have 'come it, over
us once more in the matter of seining.
Profusely promising last year that no
more drawing of nets would be allowed
in Missisquoi bay, they are at it again
the same as ever. The officials who
made these promises say that fewer
licenses are to be issued this year, and
none at all next. They regret, etc.
All of which sounds familiar. 1t has
special interest because of the action
taken by the legislature last fall ON a
bill to allow seining on the Vermont
side, when it was done over the Cana
dian line. This bill passed the House,
but was killed in the Senate. There
was and is very strong desire TO pre-
serve the fish in Lake Champlain from
ultimate determination by seining.
SEEMING could be prevented. and the
end achieved if Canada would do her
part. Trusting time and again that
she would keep her promises, Vermont
has held the hands OF the Alburgers-
| only to be disappointed by seeing the
Canadians run out their seines and
draw in the fish in the same old way
when the time came around. OF course
this cannot continue indefinitely. If
the waters Of Missisquoi bay are to be
seined, Vermonters will have their
share in the profitable slaughter. 1t is
| too bad, of course, but what other out
come is possible, under present condi-
tions? Mr.. Soule's bill would have
passed last fall had not the Senate
pinned what seems to have been an
undue measure OF faith on the straight
promises of Canadian statesmen, who
'are certainly a shiity lot.

Figures on the License Vote.

The st. Adams Messenger has complied
the full returns of the state on the license
vote March 8. These returns show 80 Ii
cense towns instead OF 70 as published by
many state papers. The vote OF Middle
sex, which gave a small majority for Ii
cense, is be ng cont sted, but until a
court decision is rendered invalidating the
votes it must remain in the license column.
Last year 20 towns and cities voted license.
For the second time every county in the
state shows no license majority.

cense vote was 80, 1868, and the total no Ii

Unless we misread the signs of the
times, the current is sweeping along
very fast toward absolute government
ownership OF railroads in this country.
Government eontrol-the present pol
icy-is not working well. 1t is de-
moralizing to railroad interests and
alarming to investors in railroad secur-
tiles When the government can reach
out its strong arm and tell the rail
roads what to do and not do in the
conduct of their business, whether it
makes great or little difference in the
paying capacity of the road, there
must of necessity be an uncertainty
and nervousness that makes money
timorous-and railroads must borrow
money constantly. The country be-
lieves that railroads require more than
their own volition would prompt them
to do in serving the public fairly, hon
estly and well, To keep hands off and
4 let them alone would De altogether
disastrous. The third and remaining
alternative is to take over the rail-
roads, or such of them as could be
conducted as valuable common car
riers, and make them absolute govern
ment properties. 1t is a radical, tar
reaching step, but it is coming. Tons
of argument could be advanced for and
against, but conditions are rapidly
making the question more than AGA
demical. The political party that first
declares for straight government own
ership of railroads win have its adver-
sary in tight corner, because public
opinion is nearly or quite ripe tor the
change.
