New Tariff Rules in Effect.

Washington. D.. c., March 1.-The
new rules and regulations promulgat-
ed by the interstate commerce com
mission for governing the constitution
and filing of freight and passenger tar
ifs went into effect today. A great
hue and cry has been raised by the
representatives of railroads through
out the country, who allege that the
new regulations are unjust and that
the commission has exceeded it's au-
thority in formulating some of them.
1t is quite probable, however, that the
members of the commission know
what they are about and that the pre-
sent cutlery is only the habitual wall
of the vested interests" at any in
reference with their affairs.
The new rules cover joint tariffs
and rates, through tariffs and rates
and individual tariffs and rates of all
the common carriers of the country.
According to the provisions set forth,
the tariff must include a table of con
tents, an index of the alphabetical ar
rangement of rates to each deStinati-
on, n index to and list of stations
affected a list of all participating
carriers, an explanation of all refer
elce marks and authorizations used,
and explanatory statements and rules
governing the application of the rates
All rules and regulations shall also
be included which authorize in n
way the substitution for any rate
specified in the tariff of a rate found
in any other tariff, or made upon a1y
combination of rates other han that
specifically stated in plain terms in
the tariff of which the rule OF regu-
lation is a part. 1t is also demanded
that the tariff must explicitly set forth
the rates, together with the names
of the places from and to which they
apply, in a simple and systematic man
ner easily understood by any person
of ordinary intelligence. The differ
ent routes by which the tariffs apply
must be shown, together with refer
ences to application of rates.
AS the tariffs of many railroad COM
panies are now constructed, they are
Greek puzzles to all but old and eX-
perienced railroad men, and there is
more than a suspicion that they are
purposely gotten up in this manner
for the purpose of confusing the pub
lie. The strict enforce-e1t of the
new regulations will probably go far
toward preventing any possible dis
elimination in rates.

A CURIOUS POSITION.

The Record mas no particular int
crest in the merely personal feeling
between the editors of the two daily
newspapers at Albuquerque; but there
are some things in the following edi-
torial of the Albuquerque Journal
that should have especial interest in
Roswell:
Members of the machine of which
Bursum is the head have openly and
without reserve threatened the people
Of Bernalillo county with the removal
OF the university from this city and
a refusal to make an appropriation
for its support. The fact that Bur
sum and his few remaining followers
are wholly powerless to even begin
to carry out such a threat does not
mo1ify or minimize the spirit which
prompted the making of it. There is
no denying that such threats were
made by the members of the machine
for they were made to Albuquerque blu
siness men. Naturally these business
resented these threats. Any Am
erican of spirit and manhood would
have resented them even though he
knew them to be nothing more than
bluff.
But what is the position of the Dali
ly Citizen?
The Daily Citizen is found vigor-
ously advising the people of Albuquer-
que and B~ernalillo county to whip
county's representatives in
the Legislature into inc with Bursum
and his machine-in order that ven
geance may not fall upon Albuquerque
and that these threats may lot be car
rie1 Out.
In a word the Daily Citizen is found
advising the people of Albuquerque
and of this county to truckle to the
methods and assent to the purpose
of a corrupt political machine, a de-
cadent, rapidly disintergating ma
chine. in order That the people may
get what of right belongs to them;
the university may get support
as a territorial institution, the
territory owes and should give it.
No man can be found who would
deny the craven cowardice of such
a position.
aside, overlooking for a the
sordidness of it all; what is to
be found in the practical side of it?
Two years ago Bursum was the 10

notorious that bills we're passed at
headquarters and that Bur
sum was supreme there. He was then
the height of his power. In hat

AN AUTO ROUTE FROM
CARLSBAD TO PECOS.

A company is being organized for
the purpose of putting in an automo-
bile passenger and mail stage be-
tween Carlsbad and Pecos. Two meet
ings have been held in Roswell to-
ward the organization OF this COM
pany, the second having been held
at the Commercial Club Wednesday
evening. This last meeting was at
tended by a committee of business
men from Carlsbad and by Mayor Jas.
w. Stockard, of Roswell, manager of
the Roswell Automobile Company,
who is to have the managing control
of the new line. 1t is proposed that
the Carlsbad Pecos project will be
run in a name similar to that of the
Roswell Torrance auto stage, of which
Mr.. Stockard has made an eminent
success
The establishment of this propos-
ed route is o~ecasioned by the rotten
service between the two proposed ter
minals and the failure of the Santa
Fe's branch to make connections with
the T. P. at Pecos. The T. P. has
put on two new mail trains recently
n running each way each day 4
the people of the lower valley desire
to make better mail connections with
them than it will be possible to Sc
cure through the service of h Carls-
bad-Pecos railroad. 1t is not the pur-
pose of the organizers to run between
Carlsbad and Pecos in order to acco-
modate Pecos, SO nue. as it is TO
reach the T. P. They might run to
Toyah, San Martinez or any other
point. where the route might be short
er or better. The distance from Carls
bad to Pecos is SO miles.
The county commissioners of Eddy
- -O~~@
tiers of the route the right-of-way thru
Eddy county, and 40 trouble is antici-
pated in getting the route through
the rest of the distance.
Mayor Stockard is figuring on the
new road and will give the promoters
estimates of cost in a few days.
While Mr.. Stockard has had all the
experience for honor sake" he car
es for, he is willing to take up the pro
posed stage line if it can be SHOWN
that it will be a paying proposition.
Since so many travellers stay in Carls
bad and Pecos awaiting trains great
ly to their ~displeasure, it is believed
the passenger end of the business
will be especially good. This with a
mail contract would put the lin on a
paying basis. The promoters are SAN
guine of the success of the enterprise.
The Albuquerque Journal of recent
date recountS the news of the confer
IN between Mayor Stockard and
Maynard Gunsul and w. H. Gillenwat-
er, of Albuquerque, in this city last
week. That paper speaks in an en-
thusiastic manner of the proposed eX-
tension of the Roswell-Torrance auto
line to Albuquerque and leads the
reader to believe hat there will be
no trouble in raising the $4,000 bonus
asked by Mr.. Stockard.

shall make a place for Mr.. Roosevelt
in the n is a question. 1t may
be assumed hat the President at the
expiration of MS term would accept
such a position, convinced tina in the
senate he could be most effective in
the public service. Nor would there
be any question that he would receive
the election if it lay with the voters
of New York. The scheme of legisla-
tive selection injects the only element
of dubiety, as that plan lends itself
to the Vaccinations of corporate in
fiuence n of that type of politics
which Mr.. Roosevelt has always OPP
posed. The presence of Platt and
Depew in a senate as the representa-
tives of the Empire state affords the
most striking proof of the need of
popular senate elections.
The prospect would seem to be that
in spite of the hold of corporations
and bosses" upon the legislative as
semblies of New York, the popular
demand for Mr.. Roosevelt's selection
will be too strong for resistance. The
people cannot wholly escape respon-
sibility when their representatives
persist in wrong action. The public
a attain what it desires if it will
"go after" its object determinedly.
Mr.. Roosevelt's selection would be
the best amends that New York could
maxi for its atrocious part in senate
affairs.
But the chief point of Mr.. Roose-
velt's service to the country. and of
all such service, is not to be lost
sight of. That is, that THE INFLU-
WHICH HE AND HIS KIND
EXERT IS NOT TO BE EXITING
