HAS TROUBLES OF HIS OWN.
A Spree That VIII be Costly to One
Neb Milton Of Webb.

II Neb Milton OF Webb City has no.
concluded by this time that life is hard
ly worth tho trouble OF living, he is in
deed Of a cheerful, joyous disposition
and would nit smiling 10 the crater of
an active volcano. For of late trouble,
10 large juicy globules has camped on
the trail Of this same Mob.
To begin with, Neb got drunk, and
with him was Jess Swihart, who also
partook freely OF the cup that cheers,
but too oft, alas, inebriates. With drunk
enness came the natural desire to cele-
brate, and as Webb City officers are oft
troubles ONE aud ofiicious it occurred to
them that some outlying town might
lend itself to pillago more easily. Jas
per suggested itself, and to to Jasper
they came, advising the natives along
The route That upon their arrival here
they would instanter apply q thick red
polish to both sides OF Grand Avenue.
To effrctually punctuiate these speeches
Milton took occasional shots with his
revolver at such useless objects along
the way rs chickens. dogs, u. 8. mail
boxes or what ever OF kindred nature
happened to obstruct his vision.
Arriving at Jasper Milton and Swihart
Immediately began the decoration Of the
town, hu, landed plump in the waiting
arms Of Yves Spaid and Harry Burch,
who disnrmed Milton and took both
lads to John Ward, who gave them safe
il not elegant quarters in the city bas.
tile.
This was the beginning OF trouble.
Next day both were arraigned before
Judge Lowe. SEihart plead guilty to
drunkenness and was fined 85 co and
cost. but Millions target practice was
assessed at the higher figure OF s25 and
c)at. Both were committed to Jail 10

 In 1904 less than 7.ooo.noo tons cf pik iron were produced. in 1905 almost ss. .t,eo 0o0 tons were turned out
 In coal the countrys production grew from fse,eee,eoo tons In lss4 10 si4,0O0 900 in is04. .s

 Corn turned out an average y,e.a the first i've years of this decaoe 9uss about fifty per cent. larger than the same years of the last decaoe.
 Wheat grew from 467.o00,00o bushels in 1895 to s92. 900. 100000 bushels Tn 1905.
 ii is true that to meet the constant ly growing demand for transporta- ton facilities the railroads have been largely expanded but in nothing ike the proportion required.
 In 1894 there were i7s.o0o miles or railroad in operation; in l9o4 there were 212,00O miles.
 while iron production increased 300 per cent, railroad mileage increased thirty per cent.
 The number of locomotives increas- ed from 38 900 to 48,000 between lSsS and 1904. or about thfrty-three per cent.
 Freight cars increased about thirty three per cent. Or from 1,2S4ooo to 1.72S.0eo.

 If this simple statement does not emphasize the need for modern and uptodate appliances for the protection of passengers and employees 1t would seem to be beyond the power of arEu- ment to do so. Would not legisla- ton compelling railroads to double track such portions of their line as attained certain volume of travel to be of more real use to the public at large than the reduction in revenue proposed, which might make such improvement ?rohibitive?

If the conditions outlined above, to. ! gether with the freight congestions and inadequate terminals with which our city Is cursed, do not point toleg' islation along lines requiring increas- ed facilities and consequent extraordi- nary expenditure, they at least do not indicate that the situation will be im- proved along lines indicated by pend ing legislation.

BETTER SAFEGUARDS.
ron TRAVEL RATHER THAN LEG lsLATTON MAKING THEM IM-
 POSSIBLE.
Improvements and Modern Equipment Cannot be Furnished If Pauperis- ing Railroads is to be the
 Policy.

The following communication sent to the Railroad Committee of the MS solri State Senate by VI. O. Saunders. manager of the Interstate Merchants Association, Is well worthy of consid- eration by Alabama Legislators:
 The Interstate Merchants Associa- ton recognizes the necessity for me rate legislation which has just cuimi- : mated in the enactment by Congress or the Hepburn bill, legislative meas ure remarkable for it's far-reaching ef- feet and one calculated to remove the abuses which have crept into the eco- homie systems of our great transpor- tatjon lines, but had reason to believe that with the effective operation or a power calculated to remove the evil of discriminative rates and practices the public would at least be content to await the results of this new enactment before Experimenting fur- ther.
 In this 1t seems that we were mis- taken. and that with many the present law is but an incentive to new and more violent effort.
 We believe that the railroads have duty to perform to the public. ana must be held to a rigid accounting for the performance of this duty. To fn- sure this result the Interstate Com merce Commission has been endowed with extraordinary powers. and Dack of 1t is Congress and the Executive.
 On the other hand, the railroads are entitled to reasonable compensation for the service which they must rem der and to protection rom just such attacks as are now being made upon them through the State Legislatures. The Constitution of the United States insures them this protection.
 Tn considering the restrictive legis- lation now pending. certain well-es- abolished facts must be recognized One of these Is that any system of earnings based upon the remarkable prosperity which marks the present situation will fall short of absolute justice should 1t net recognize and provide for those times of diversity which are sure to be felt; another is the railroads of this country are in condition of unpreparedness, where they will require an expenditure near- ly as large as that made when they were first built, to put them in fit condition to meet the wants and needs of the people.
 With a large percentage of last sea- sons crops rotting at railroad stations for lack of cars; with coal famine in the Northwest due to the same cause; with millions of acres of land undeveloped for lack of railroad facil- ities, 1t would seem unnecessary, to argue this statement. few facts will suffice:
 The entire tonnage of the United States carried by the railroads one mile has doubled in seven years. Tn 1897 it was 95, ,000, ,000 900 tons; In 1904 1t was over 170,000, 900 900. Seven years more at the same rate of in-

pertinent to inquire which do the pso- pie of the United states need most reduction in railroad. rates or increas- ed facilities for the movement or crops and the necessities of lifeg
 We of the west, owing to our neg lcct of our rivers, are dependent upon railroads almost exclusively for al manner Of transportation, and 1t Is In this section that the railroads are comparatively most unprepared.
 Untn It can be poven that the pres ent law is inadequate and that 1t can not be made to accomplish the desired results. 1t Is certainly but an ordinary precaution that we shall scrutinize with great care the bills which are now being introduced in the various State Legislatures to limit the earn ing capacity of the railroad companies. We need but refer to the history of railroad legislation in 1873 and 1876 to see how easy 1t is not only to kill the goose which lays the golden egg" but to smash the eggs as well.
 We believe that the majority of the people will agree with us that when we ask for a square deal from the railroad companies, it means that we are willing to give them square deal as we'll.
