THE FLAG.

This is Flag Day. 1t is the date set
apart in state and nation in honor OF
the most beautiful banner that ever
fioated in the breezes of nations. The
day may not be observed everywhere,
but as a special occasion to instin in
the young a sentiment of patriotism and
loyalty to the Stars and Stripes, it's OBJ
servance is fitting.
The great majority of the present gen.
Grafton do not realize the full sentiment
attached to the flag. The average man
is so accustomed to 1t that the sight of
its beautiful stripes, undulating or f1ut-
tering in the breeze, causes no unusual
feeling in his breast. But let him wan
der on foreign shores and among strange
peoples or let his personal liberty be en-
dangered in an alien nation, and the
sight of Old Glory, standing as it does
for the power and the freedom of the
land we love, is a most welcome vision
to him. The soldier, too, who has fol-
lowed. the flag through rain of lead,
realizes it's sentiment.
So it's a good idea to have a Flag
Day once a year on which to impress
this sentiment for the grand old banner
on our minds-and particularly on the
young.
Here's to Old Glory, the flag of the
free, the glorious Stars and Stripes. the
most splendid national emblem that
ever floated in the sunshine of heaven.
Long may it wave.

AS TO RATE-MAKING.

The Standard Oil company has issued
reply in a financial paper to the re-
port of the commissioner of corpora
tions concerning its business. Among
other things it tries to combat the idea
that its pipe lines should be made COM
mon carriers of oil with rates fixed by
a government commission.
The government report figures that a
rate of IL cents barrel would be am
pie to- cover cost of service. deprecia-
ton and a profit of 10 per cent on The
investment, on oil running from the
Appalachian field to the Atlantic coast.
OF this II cents. cents is for cost CT
service and depreciation, and cents IS
for profit. Yet the rate charged from
the Appalachian field to Philadelphia
is 80 cents.
The Standard objects to basing ra ties
on the cost of service, which it claims
is "a new principal in transportation
charges" The well established rule.
it quotes from another source, has
been to establish the rate that will
move the traff1c'-that is to say, rate
based upon the market worth of the
service not upon it's cost"
1t is true that this has been the
rule with most transportation managers
in the past. 1t is the rule which Sena-
tor Long pronounced right in MS re-
plies to LaFollette last summer. La
Toilette said rates should be based
upon the cost of the service, plus
reasonable return on the capital in
vested. Senator Long said the value
of the service and not the cost of the
service should govern, and right there
hinges the difference between the two
systems of rate-making.@
Another way of saying the value If
the service" is, all the traffic viii
bear" That is, the rate should be just
as high as possible and still keep the
shipper doing business, and this Is the
rule adopted by many railroads. The
courts have declared that a fairly re-
munerative rate is high enough, and
therefore to make rates seem only
fairly remunerative,'' stock watering
is resorted to.
In order to get at what is a really
remunerative rate Independent of wa
tered stock, Senator LaFollette started
his movement to get at the actual val
uation of all the roads of the country
and President Roosevelt has adopted
the idea. And that is to be the basis
on which rates ought to be made an
the future.
The State Journal, however. radically
differs from those reformers who assert

HOT WEATHER CLoTHEs.

There is considerable dissatisfaction
among most men folks at this time of
the year because they have to wear
collars and cuffs-yes, and even coats
in order to be considered dressed re-
specially. Mr.. Charles NJ. Sheldon
thinks it is almost barbarous to compel
any one to do this. For his own part,
he has said: ct shall never wear reg
ulation preaching coat in the pulpit
through another hot summer. L shall
get just an ordinary light gray suit. with
the coat unlined, and wear that. No one
who has any sense of humanity could
reasonably find fault"
This is a sensible idea, and although
it might not meet with universal ap-
prevail at first it would have the sane
ton of every, man in his congregation
A weIl-known society woman of juno
ton City will not stop at a certain soda
fountain in that city because the young
man who runs it will not wear his coat.
She said: TT is not right for the pro-
prietor to allow his clerk to appear be-
hind the counter without his coat. I will
show him that I disapprove of 1t by
never going there again" N isl
Fortunately for the comfoFt-loving
element of masculine humanity, this
sentiment is not general. OF course
custom largely governs in these matters,
but a common sense regard for comfort
and appearances combined will allow
the men folks considerable latitude in
discarding surplus apparel without
shocking the tender sensibilities Of the
really well-bred. 1t might be carried too
far, of course, and times and places
make some difference, but the man who
has to work has some claims on COM
fort as we'll as the woman who appears
in an airy peek-a-boo waist.

! simply the original cost of the road, or
of duplicating its physical property.
That would be no more fair than it
would be to value a farm at its oT1si-
nal cost
There are thousands of farms in
Kansas whose cost was merely the
homestead entry fees plus the price of
some Improvements, yet they are act-
ually worth several times that. The
settlement of the surrounding country,
the growth of some nearby town.
proximity to school. rural mail deliv-
cry, better markets. all have added
greatly to the actual value of the land,
yet they cannot be counted in the or
iginal cost. A farm only one mile from
central Kansas town was purchased
a few years ago for $S5 an acre. Lit
tie has been expended on it since for
improvements yet it will find a ready
sale today for more than 500 an acre.
The growth of fruit and other trees
and the Improvement of the surround
ing country have added to its actual
value.
For the same reason, the original
cost of railroad ought MOTTO DE ta-s
ken as its actual value. The develop
ment of the region through which it
passes, the building of business, it's
good will. and similar elements should
be considered in arriving at its value.
When this value has been determined
rates should be based on the cost CT
the service plus reasonable return

should not be "all the traffic will bear"
Taxation should also be based on this
real value.
