ONE GRAFT
 PREFERABLE TO TWO.

People in land-locked America where more than nine-tenths of the business of the country is transacted without the help of ships-may not shed tears when they read the follow ing dispatch from Washington:
 Despite its disinclination, the navy department has been obliged to enter into contract with New York brok- craze firm for the shipment of Amer ican coal from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast in foreign bottoms. The amount of the shipments will aggre- gate between si5,000 and S2O,000 each, for the navy yard at Mare Island sta ton and Bremerten, Washington. The department is unable to take contracts for the transport of coal in American bottoms because of the lack of such ships. When first suggested it brought put vigorous protest from the Mer- chant Marine league of the United 1 States, but the department felt it was Justified in making the arrangements. By providing that American coal shall be furnished the officials say they are encouraging one American industry, at least.
 Yes. they are encouraging the great American coal trust, "at least" It is 8 matter for congratulation that a big shipping trust is not also being en. couraged. The inference to be drawn from the wording of the dispatch is that we should be ashamed of our selves for opposing the subsidy steal of 5000 900 year for twenty years which has been proposed regularly al each session of congress for years past. If that great graft had woI out, an American shipping trust would be carrying that coal at double the reasonable charge.
 With subsidy. not only would tho treasury be paying millions year tc ship owners and builders, but the nav! department and exporters generally would be held up for transportation charges far above what the hated foreign bottoms" would ask. The in terests demanding ship subsidy are not economists, they are simply graft CTS of the protectionist school, wht think they are being discriminates against in the present tariff system They want to get their feet in tht trough. along with the other tariff hogs.
 Why should the country be taxed te the extent of millions annually simply for the privilege of paying more in transportation charges? This is what subsidy means; it cannot mean any. think else, for if there were not more profits in view there would be no de. mand for subsidy. If foreign bottoms will carry our products cheaper chan Americans can or will, why should we deliberately increase ocean freights by placing ourselves at the tender mercy

THE NEW CHARTER LAW
 AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

During the past few days there has been some misapprehensfon regarding the provisions of Sec. 29, Page 107, of the new charter law, which the people of Bisbee will be called upon to adopt ur reject on July 9th at special cleo ton to be held for that purpose. An opinion has been expressed by some, at casual reading of the section, that it gives the City Council the right to maintain, operate and conduct the present public schools of the district which are operated by provision of the Territorial statutes, under the di- rect supervision of a County School superintendent and a district board of school trustees.
 The Section referred to reads as fol- lows:
 Sec. 29.-To provide, by ordinance for the establishing, maintaining. con troI, and conduct of common and high school in said city shall conform to the course of study and text books pre- scribed by the Territorial Board of ducation.'
 It is obvious that Section 2s DOES NOT give to any City Council the right to interfere in any manner with the. control, operation or maintenance of the district school system at pres ent in vogue in this territory That school system Is controlled and regu- lated and maintained by virtue of a provision of the Territorial Statutes, defining the officers of the counties and districts who shall have charge of these schools, and the manner that Territorial and county taxes shall be levied for the maintenance of such schools in the several districts.
 Section g, however, DOES give to City Councils operating undet the new charter. the right to establish, maintain. control and operate CITY SCHOOLS, within the limits of incor- porated cities. IN ADDITION to the Territorial School system already pro- vided for.
 For example: In the event that our present territorial school law failed to provide for sufficient school facili- ties in the district, wherein city was a part of the district, the City coun- cil, in their discretion and if the emer. gency and necessity justified such ac- ton, has the power to provide within the city limits such additional common or high schools as they may deem nee essary and to provide for their mainte- nance and the schools thus estab- lished, would be known as CITY SCHOOLS. distinctive from PUBLIC DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
 Upon inquiry, the Review finds tha, this particular section of the new charter law was inserted upon the SO 1icifation of the people of Phoenix who desire to establish City High School for that city, in addition to the present public schools maintained by provision of territorial statutes.
 There is absolutely nothing in the contention that the City Council would have anything, whatever, to do with our present school system, now or in the future. for the very good and suf. hcient reason that 1t would be impos- sible. by provision of city ordinance. to delegate to City Council any pow CTS of control over any territorial in stitufion maintained aud provided for by general territorial laws.

of a shipping trust?

The producers pay every cent of transportation charges, and the lower these charges the better it is for the people as whole. This is the plain est kind of a truth, and it has served so far to defeat the subsidy scheme in congress. But another big effort is to be made next winter to force the in- iquity through, it's champions feeling that with the support of Roosevelt, which they now enjoy, 1t is their last chance.

COURT vOIDS 1W04CENT FARE
Pennsylvania New Statute is
Held to Be Unconstitutional.
Unreasonable and C~onfiscatory, Phil
adelphia Common Pleas Holds in
Restraining Collection of Fine.

Philadelphia, Pa.-On the ground
that it is unconstitutional, in that it
violates an existing contract between
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
State, Common Pleas Court No. 4 de-
clared the two cents a mile rate law
invalid and ineffective.
Judges Wilson and Audenried,
who handed down the opinion in the
case, described the act of April s.,
1907, which provided for the maxi
mum rate of two cents a mile on all
railroads within the State, as 'unrea-
sonable and confscatory."
The new law, which was hailed
with approval by the people of the
State, is declared to be in violation
Of the constitution Of the State, be-
cause it docs injustice to the corpor-
ators of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Company by establishing so low a
maximum rate of fare for the carry
ing of passengers as to render that
branch of the plaintiffs business un-
remunerative, providing no compen-
sation for the loss thereby occa-
stoned"
In the charter of the railroad au-
thority was given to the incorpora-
tors to fix such rates as the president
and directors might deem reasonable,
and it is about this implied contract
that the entire case before Judges
Wilson and Audenried hinged. In
a word, they decided that the Legis-
lature has no right to abrogate the
contract.
City Solicitor Gendell, who argued
before the court that the railroad by
increases of its capitalization had for
feited its right to make any claims
under it's charter, announced as soon
as the decision was made known that
he would first file exceptions and
then take an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
If the State Supreme Court sus-
tains the lower court the city will
have no further appeal. If, on the
other hand, the Supreme Court
should declare the law constitutional
the railroad has the privilege of car
rying the case to the United States
Supreme Court.

Henry Tragedy Recalled.

Daniel Henry, seventy-fve years
old, died at the New Jersey State Hos
pital for the Insane, in Trenton, where
he and a SOL have been inmates for
than twenty years. He was for
merly a prosperous and highly es-
teemed business man. The son, then
a mere boy, became lost in the woods
south of Trenton one day, and was
not found until a week later. He was
insane from fright and suffering, and
never regained his reason. 1t was
soon necessary to commit him to the
asylum. Three Tears later Henry's
wife was killed on the railroad. The
troubles of the son and the tragic
death of his wife drove the senior
Henry insane, and he, too, was COM
mitted to the asylum. 1t is believed
that the sons case is hopeless, and
that he will never leave the institu-
ton,
