TEST OF THE a-cENT RATE.

In the controversy between the var
ious states and their intrastate rail
roads over the 2-cent passenger fares
the question at issue is not whether
the roads make more clear money at
the new rate or less. than they did at
the former rate. The question is sim
ply as to whether the new rate yields
a fair return upon the operation of the
passenger service.
The fourteenth amendment, as in
terpreted by the courts so far, guaran-
tees no concern profit of any kind.
1t simply prohibits the states from
enacting confiscatory legislation. In
this case the state of Missouri is for
hidden by the fourteenth amendment
to make passenger rate that de-
able profit on the running of passen-
ger trains.
II, contrary to expectation, it
should be shown that net profits have
been somewhat less under the new
rate than under the old, that showing
would not sufice for a federal injunc-
tion of Missouri's 2-cent rate. 1t must
be shown that the rate does not return
a fair. just and reasonable profit for
the public service rendered.
The rate must be confiscatory be-
fore the federal courts have right
to enjoin the state Law. 1t must, in
HE words of the fourteenth amend
ment deprive tie roads Of their prop
erty without due process OF law be-
fore the federal courts acquire iuris-
diction-
If the Missouri roads have found
the 2-cent rate as satisfactory as the
Nebraska roads are said to have
found it, the proceedings before Judge
Mcpherson are likely TO be allowed to
slumber But if any road finds the
rate oppressive and conRseatory, it is
entitled 10 its remedy.

Douglas is not the only city In Ari-
iona where the matter of suppressing
every form of gambling in saloons is
being considered by the municipal
governments; Globe and Tucson are
moving in this direction. There is a
strong sentiment in Douglas favoring
the proposition TO pass an ordinance
prohibiting the playing of poker and
other games for money, or even for
drinks, in the saloons of the city.
There seems to be no direct law for
the prevention of such gambling
game as poker in Arizona, but the
law providing for the regulation OF sa-
looms gives the power to the city coun-
ell to say that, no gambling shall be
carried on in saloons The license
given saloon is for the sale of liquor
and gives no right to maintain a gam
bling house. The city council of
Douglas can win much applause from
their constituents by promptly passing
the anti-pOIler ordinance tonight.

The Center (Mo) Herald does not
profess TO be an authority on any
point Of theology whatever. 1t speaks
from the individual experience and OBJ
servation of its editor when it con
cludes that there is streak of sa-
tan" developed In every man as he

All the circumstances leading up TO
this conclusion are not defined, but
1t seems that. while engaged in an at
tempt at recutude which is sun sue
cessful in spite of difficulties. the edi-
tor OF the Herald met a series of UNI
usual contradictions. His feelings

can be evaded if the streak of Satan"
is discussed under a more modern
name as the yellow streak" Per-
haps the yellow streak is worse than
the original streak of Satan, or it may
be capable of becoming so. At any
rate, the obvious thing 10 do with it
is to suppress it at once and eradi-
cate it from Missouri journalism as
soon as possible. It ought not to be
allowed to spread in Missouri or any
other state which expects TO go on

IN the selection of State Treasurer

the Republicans of the Legislature
have made choice which was the

business qualifications, and has dig
nifty of character which will tittingly
grace the exalted office which he is to
occupy for the next six years, and will
go far towards contenting those citi-
zenS of our State who thought the
time opportune to fill that office with
a statesman Of commanding ability
