Reduce Railroad Travelling RI tie;

There will be general move in
many legislatures this winter for two
cent fare laws on the railroads and
the probability is that they will be
passed in most of the states. Such
law adopted Last year in Ohio is
working well all around, both rail
roads and passengers being pleased,
the latter because they can ride more
cheaply and the former because in
creased travel hrs increased their
revenue. The American Farmer of
Indianapolis Ind.
We believe such d law shotsld be
enacted in Mississippi. If the rail
roads are sincere about eating off
all free passes, two-cent mileage
rate will prove satisfactory. 1t is a
matter of record that a reduction on
postage rates some years ago result
ed in the Postal Department lower
ing the annual deficit. Cheaper rates
would induce more people to travel,
and they would travel farther and
more frequently than under the pres
ent price.

In commenting upon Higher Con-

Post says in part:
While higher salary for CON

the country, it would mean an in
crease in cost of about million and
a half a year This could be met,
however, by reducing the House rep
resentation, not in the South alone.
as some republicans have suggested,
but for the entire country. There
are nearly four hundred members of
the House at present. This number
makes it unwieldly and destroys its
aeibefative character. BY cutting
this number in half the same bust
ness could be attended to in Just as
satisfactory a manner. Then an in
crease of salary should attract ADLER

sequent benefit to the people,.
