GOVERNOR GLENN'S BIG STICK

Everything, of Greensboro, has this
70 say of the threat Governor Glenn
made against railroads if they would
not comply with his demand to put
the passenger rate law in operation at
once: =
Know ng that a legislature of the
kind we had is worse than a pesti-
lence. that is the way we felt abou
it, the railroads came into camp.
1t sometimes makes one feel silly to
eat crow, but the railways are to be
congratulated. Confiscation of all the
business interests of the state would
be preferable to the black cloud Of
another legislature like the last one.
When Governor Glenn issued his let
ter of instructions to the superior
court judges telling them what they
should do in the railway rate cases
we thought he had reached the limit,
but it seems We did not know our gov
ernOr as we'll as we thought we did.
He is going further in the manage
ment of other branches of the govern
ment. He that he is going
to address an open letter to the con-
gressmen urging them to provide
stronger and safer mail cars on the
railroads. Mr.. Glenn, surely, is not
laboring under the impression that
March f., 1909, has been reached and
that the new president is a certain
southern democrat.

Mr.. w. w. Kitchin has a peculiar
way of trying to make friends in
his candidacy for the nomination for
governor. His plan is to abuse
those who do not openly support him.
He seems to think it a crime on the
part of any one to oppose his NOM
nation. He made a speech in Nor
canton Tuesday composed chiefly Of
denunciations of railroads and certain
newspapers, because, as he alleged,
they were fighting his nomination,
with quite a sprinkling Of Boosting
of his own services to the party. Mr..
Kitchin cannot base any claim to the
office on reward due him from the
party for past services. He has had
full pay for all he has done for the
party. When his present term eX-
pires he will have served in con-
gress for twelve years. It looks like
he should be satisfied with what the
party has done for him.

ment that it does not understand

take up Governor Hughes as their

Bee says it is because Foraker is not
a serious candidate and Governor
Hughes is the very best CLUB in

Bee has given the correct solution
of the matter.

THE PRESIDENTS POLICIES

Mr.. George Griswold Hill of
Washington, has an article in The
North American Review outlining
President Roosevelt's policies and the
leading features of his next message
to congress. The leading features
are federal control of interstate COM
merce and tariff revision.
AS to the latter Mr.. Hill says that
mo feature of the presidents poll
cies is more widely misunderstood
than his attitude on the tariff. He
has long believed hat the time has
arrived when revision of the Dingley
tariff act is advisable" He states
that the president has tried several
times to secure tariff adjustment,
"only to learn that the determined
opposition of Speaker Cannon and
his associates in the house cOnsti-
tuted an insuperable obstacle" He
also declares that the. president will
use his influence to have embodied
in the next republican national plat
form a declaration favOring an eX-
ira session Of congress Immediately
after March 4, 1909, for the purpose
of revising the tariff.
If this be so we do not see why
Mr.. Roosevelt should advocate post
poning such legislation if he believes
that the occasion had arrived some
time ago for revising the tariff; and,
in the next place, we have no idea
hat Speaker Cannon and the other
standpatters will allow any such dec
laration' to be made by the V
ton, unless they see a strong proba-
bility of the democrats electing a ma
jority of congressman at the 1908
elections if such a pledge is not
made to the people. In that case
they may make such declaration,
hoping to be able to successfully
avoid carrying it out.
AS to Mr. Roosevelt's Interstate
commerce policies, Mr.. Hill says
they consist of the exercise of the
right of federal control over inter-
state commerce to remedy or eradi-
cate those economic evils with which,
he believes, the states cannot cope
and the exercise of the taxing power
of the national government to prune
what he has described as swollen
fortunes and in a measure to equal
ize those inequalities in the distribu-
ton of wealth which, he believes,
have resulted from ~entrusting to the
several states a ask which they are
unable to perform"
AS parts of this program which the
president has already carried out
Mr.. Hill points to the acts Of con-
gross on railway rates, on meat in
spection and on pure food regulat-
ing, all of them widening the scope
of federal control. Mr.. Roosevelt's
policy is to give the federal govern
ment further control of Interstate
corporations and also of railroad
stock and bond issues. 1t also en-
braces legislation providing for in
come and graduated inheritance
taxes.
Mr.. Roosevelt may have formulat-
ed all of these policies and desire to
carry them out; but we do not be-
lieve the corporations and moneyed
interests of the country will permit
it. The strong state rights advo-
Gates also will oppose many of them.

One of the most absurd bills ever in-
troduced in the Michigan Legislature
with serious intent Is the so called
"Towner Bill This measure was put
forth by Representative Towner 70
compel the railroads OF this state TO
Issue passes to members Of the legisla-
ture and state officials.
ON the very face Of the proposition
It Is an imposition. The people Of this
state have been hammering the rail-
roads upon the matter Of taxes until
those corporations are paying tax
actually above the ratio paid upon real
and personal property of other kinds.
On top OF this some Of the members OF
the legislature seek 10 compel the rail
roads to do certain amount of bust
ness for nothing
Why a state official or legislator is
entitled TO ride free in preference to
any other citizen Of this commonwealth
cant well be- made ont The state
officials should be paid out Of the state
treasury and not out Of the treasury Of
the railroads.
In connection with this bin the fol-
lowing from the Marquette Mining
Journals news column is Of interest.
Whether il stands for higher de-
gree OF intelligence, or not. the fact
remains that the members OF the state
senate regard the compulsory railroad
pass bill as huge joke, while a large
number OF the house members look
upon IL seriously.
Senator Charles Smith haa some fun
with several house members when he
sagely announced to them that he had
been in conference with the attorney
general, who had suggested 10 him an
amendment that would make the Tower
bill constitutional
What is IL shouted half dozen
voices.
Just add another section. replied
the senator, which will compel the
Lansing hotels TO board us for nothing
during the session.
The house members walked away
disgusted.
There is no question whatever in the
minds Of lawyers OF the unconstitu-
tionailty OF the proposed measure. IL
is also pointed out that the railroads
are now paying taxes the same as
other property, or that they are sup
posed 20 be doing so. and that IL is a
manifest injustice 20 require them 10
issue passes to all who travel for the
state. even II IL could be done law
fully.
The state travelling force is large
one, and consists not only of the 1872
members of the legislature and a bunch
Of elective and appointive officers. but
OF horde OF dairy and food inspectors,
deputy game wardens, salt inspectors,
oil inspectors. factory inspectors tax
commission employees state library
employees. military men. etc. Probab-
Is several Thousand PERSON would be
entitled TO PASSES under a law requir
ing the railroads 10 issue them 10 all
persons who travel on state business.

WOULD REDUCE TAX LEVY
Representative Thompson Introduces
Bill to This Effect.

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-While
Senator Rowland, chairman of the
senate committee on finance, was
declaring in the senate that
Ar <ansas is in such condition fir
ancialIy that it will be compelled
to do one of three things-cut
down on appropriations, increase
the tax levy, or face deficit
Representative Thompson, of In.
dependence county, introduced a
bill in the house providing for a
reduction in the general State tax
levy from Il to Il mills.
Senator Rowland declared his
firm belief that the State will face
a deficit unless the expenditures
are reduced. He referred in
directly to the statements made by
former Gov. Davis in his cam
paign to the effect that there was
more than $780, 900 in the treas
ury and declares that he was more
inclined to believe that there
would be a deficit of 100000 in
the general fund by July l.
Representative Thompson, the
author of the bill reducing the tax
levy, declared that he had loag
contended that the tax levy was
too high and that he had enough
confidence in the wisdom of the
present general assembly to be-
lieve that it will not make many
of the appropriations made by the
last legislature.

BRAIN LEAKS.
From Bryan'S Commoner:)

(From Bryan's Commoner:)
Industry calls it pluck" in
dolence calls it luck. -
Does man deserve credit for
merely doing his duty!
The day started with smile is
seldom ended with a frown.
Some men think that home is
merely a stopping place for meals
and lodging.
People who go to church to be
entertained seldom come away
benefited.
A we'll spent life and an i'll spent
fortune never go out at the same
time.
There are a lot of people who
feel sorry for the poor in mass,
but overlook the poor individual
near at hand.
The man who boasts about fol-
lowing the dictates of his own con-
science should be very careful
that his conscience is in free work
ing order.
