That Money Question.

The country al large has for the
last week felt the after effect Of the
financial disturbances at New York,
which is only a natural result.
And Hickman
Yes. Hickman and all surrounding
towns have felt the effect Of it-some
Of them much worse than We have.
Last Friday morning The board Of
directors Of our twl local banks
held a consultation and deemed il
advisable to pay pot TO exceed $50
a week on any one checking account
since banks at other points had al
ready inaugurated this measure.
This would not have been necessary
had il not been for the fact that
people living IN other towns would
gsi on the train and bring q check
to our bankers and get the cash,
thereby causing Iun on our home
institutions. Further than this, peo-
pie who did not understand the
situation we're ready to make q
mountain out Of a mole hill by draw
ing out their deposits, thus making
a shortage OF ready cash just at a
time when il is most neeced 10 han
die the seasons heaviest business.
In fact, We are merely locking
the barn after the horse is gone
The large money markets have re-
sumed their normal conditions, anc
money Is now pouring into the south
and vest 10 meet the demand.
Don't let the proposition worry
you. Everything viii be lovely il
ten days or less.

Looks Good to Us.

Il should interest our people 10
know that a movement, is on foot
to establish a barge line from St.
Louis 10 New Orleans.
The Committee having this mat
ter in charge says the proposition is
the establishment OF barge line for
the big stream. This line, is not to
be organized as a private concern,
but a common carrier, to handle the
freight along the river in large guam
titles.
The object Of the move is TO inter-
est the people living in the valley Of
the Mississippi in Interpret naviga-
ton, and prove 10 congress that the
river is being utilized al its present
stage.
The people behind the move be-
lieve IN Interpret navigation for the
present as the best means Of secur-
ing from congress sufficient appro-
priations 10 deepen the channel Of
the Mississippi and It's navigable
tributaries. 1--WE want 10 show 10
congress that We are utilizing our
waterways at the presen, stage. and
hope by this means 10 secure large
appropriations for deepening the
channel and making the river naviga-
bic for larger craft, said chairman
Irvine.
Mr.. Irvine's idea Of the establish
ment Of the barge company is to make
il a common carrier. Il will be
corporation, with stockholders at the
various ports between ST. Louis and
New Orleans. He desires 10 arouse
sufficient interest in the proposition
10 get each port 10 appoint a com
mittee TO confer with committees
from other ports and agree as to
what system would be best, and TO
arrange some satisfactory method in
regard to bearing the expense OF
getting the project under way in the
near future.
There are two good reasons why
river traffic should be increased az
the present time-one, TO shcw con-
grsss that there is a revival In the
trade and, second, 70 reduce the
cost Of transportation about 90 per
cent, which is possible even without
a fourteen-foot channel.
The movement is being pushed by
the Interpret navigation committee
and has been aeitated extensively IN
St. Louis. Manufacturing interests
there, the real estate exchange and
other business organizations have
indorsed the proposition. This dele
cation will come do~n the river
from St. Louis and visit all the i'm
portant ports between that city and
New Orleans. They left Wednesday
and should get here today or tomor-
row. These gentlemen will present
the matter 10 the puolic In detail.
Mr.. Irvine explained that other
waterways, both IN America and in
/ foreign countries, of a less depth
and size than the Mississippi, are
used TO a much better advantage.
Figures show that the Ohio river
sends 20. 900 900 tons Of freight an
nually into the Mississippi. Less
than l.OOO.O 900 tons are earned
down the river from above Cairo.
On boats averaging little more than
400 tons capacity the Rhine river in
| Germany annually floats more than
| 4O,OO0, 900 tons. These barges
navigate the English channel. 1t is
/ contended that q through barge ser
vice from ST. Louis 10 the gull would
be OF great benefit to every port at
iected. Car shortage, delayed ship
ment and other obstacles to Hick-
nan would be materially reduced by
a regular up-to-date service OF this
character.

2-cent fare bill has not yet become n |
law, and tho railroads will probably
do nothing at all until the question
whether 1t will or will not go upon
the statute book shall have been set
tied.
In New York tho legislative sltua
tlon is II little peculiar. Both houses
of tho legislature have passed the q
cent fare law which was before them
for some time, and that measure is
now In the hands of the governor.
What his attitude in relation to The
measure Ia has not been disclosed.
For all that appears, he might decide
to veto II upon grounds arising from
the consideration of the provisions OF
the bill itself. But it seems almost
inevitable that his Judgment lp2n a
measure fixing maximum rate OF
faro will L2, 10 some extent at least,
determined by reference to another
measure, providing, among other
things, for the regulation of rates by
an administrative body, which has
also been passed by both houses of
the legislature. We refer to the So
claled Public Utilities bill, whose en-
actment is known to be earnestly de-
! sired by the governor, and which is
now before the Legislature again after
being declared unacceptable by Mayor
Mcclellan, representing the city OF
New York 1t would occasion nu
surprise II Governor Hughes should
/ decide that the enactment OF this
measure would render such law as
that proposed in the 2.cent fare bill
unnecessary, If not improper.

SLEEPING CAR RATES.

A complaint has been filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in tho matter of Pullman car rates
that vitality affects the interests of
the travelling public and the country
will observe with concern the course
of tho commission in disposng Of It,.
The complaining citizen sets forth
that it is the uniform practice Of this
corporation, which holds practical
monopoly of the sleeping car faclli-
ties, to charge the same rate for both
upper and lower bcrths, whereas In
point of fact the service rendered by
the upper berth Is inferior to that of
the lower and should command IL
smaller fee.
Should the commission require OK
pert testimony on this point there
will be no lack of volunteers. fully
qualified to give convincing evidence
of the inferiority of the upper berth
rs compared with the lower. Every
stout person who fares forth by rail
ut night will be willing to swear that
the upper berth Is torture. The
great majority In women will take
Daily press. [volume] (Newport News, Va.) 1896-current, 1907-06-11

n sleeping car is for them an impos-
sibility. The traveller, indeed, who
prefers the upper to the lower part
OF n sleeping car section Is so rare
as to stand forth glaringly from the
crowd as remarkable exception.
But whether upper berth or lower
berth, there is no doubt that the rates
charged by the sleeping car company
nre excessive. Considering that the
general tendency OF railroad fares Mt
this time is downward, thanks ito
state legislation and to the restrictive
movers of the Commission under the
new statute, 1t would seem to be time
that tho sleeping car trust were
brought under regulation for the
benefit of the tens of thousands who
are nightly subjected to the mercies
OF this monopoly ut prices which un
questionably stand for an enormous
profit
