STATE AND FEDERAL RATE
CONTROL.

The state railway commissioners, in
their national convention in Washing
ton last week, got upon firm ground in
their protest that "tle best interests OF
the people would not be served to place
tho entire responsibility for rate control
IN the federal government
Though. as the commissioners say, no
action by the federal authorities, it will
not be denied that in the equalizing OF
ratee, the efforts to suppress rebating
and in other ways federal action has
accomplished no little good in inter
state commerce.
But the commissioners are right, and
President Roosevelt is wrong, with
respect to traffic which moves wholly
within a single state. Conditions vary
too widely in different states for the
interstate commerce commission or any
other federal body to deal i~ntelligently
with them. Each state possesses the
power to name the conditions under
which q corporation shall do business
within it, and the state is best capable
Of knowing what those conditions
should be.
In behalf Of its citizens, and OF it,
" authority, there is every induce
mont for the state to ascertain The con.
ditoDs rightly. Destructive legislator,
IL there we're no remedy for it, would
! q as harmful to the people OF the state
as to the transportation companies. But
there is no desire on :he part OF the
people to injure these companies; and il,
By mistake, such legislation is enacted,
both the state courts and the federal
courts are required by the constitution
to declare il void.
The more DIR dual form OF govern
meut is studied in the light OF the
presidents new theories, .ho moro per
feet IL its adjustment seen to be ard the
more apparen. the necessity Tor state
AMI federal cooperation, each retaining
and exercising its full nowers.-St.

WRONGFUL SURPLUS"

E=.United State Treasurer Ellis II.
Roberts, ar authority on queetious Of
finance, recently delivered a torceful
and convincing address before the
Massachusetts, Reform club. The feder-
al government has collected during the
last fiscal year u surplus over and above
It's extrayagant aud prohigate expendi-
lures OF nearly s9o zoo, COO. This excess
in collection continues, taking from the
pockets Of the people nearly slU0 900 ,0Co
annually and storing it in the national
treasury. Referring to this levy on
tho If earnings, Mr.. Roberts says:
The American people pay promptly
and gladly all that the nation needs Tor
the liberal, even lavish, conduct OF its
affairs Mt home aud abroad. They
maintain every department on a geucr-
Gus scale; they apply science to a~gricul-
turc; they irrCate the western deserts;
they erect stately buildings; they i'm
prove rivers and harborf; they build the
Panama canal; they care for their island
p; sessions; they cancel their CLAM.
against China; they construct n modern
navy. And they do not grumble.
They stand aghast at the continued
charges Of SlO0. 900 coo a year, enough
to pay the wages Of a hundred thousand
skilled worSmeu Mt 81 eco a year. Who
dare draft such an a my Of b-Oiu and
muscle, Of toll and achievement, ami
levy on all their earnings without cause.
without pretcxt OF need? Surely a sur
plus is better than IA deficit, but the
ideal il government finances is a lei
credit bllance.
No other way can be devised to cor
rect the evi! Of excessive revenues than
to cut down the collections. Lower
custom duties might now, rs heretofore,
add to the revenues, and only extension
OF the free list would be sure to cut
down collections. The stern fact is that
systematic revision Of the tariff canuot
be achieved in less than Il year and a
half or " years.
-Only the marvellous wealth OF today
and the unparalleled earnings Of in
dustry aud OF capital have made its raw
ages endurable. No other evil so great
drains the Of the people.
Center your efforts on reducing the ex
cessive collections, and yon have Il
chance TO win. y fat reduction OF all
collections is n plain, direct project.
No time need be given for hearings; no
interest is arrIyed against another. The
phan involves no untried scheme.
-Many interests clamor for more cap
ital, Tor more funds for the needs OF the
hour. Great railroads carry on work
by short time notes. Tie state OF New
York cannot borrow at former rates.
The city of New Xork is forced to adj
vance its Interest. Oneida, an imperial
county in the Empire Stat E, has ita
bonds rejected in the market and is
forced to make a better offer. Yet the
government keeps on b~urying 2l00, 000,-
GOO a year i'll vault and bank. Why not
bet the citizen have and hold his own?
He knows best what to do with it. At
all events it belongs to him to plant, TO
build, to exploit MS he plcases."

NOW SEVEN YEARS OLD
Case of Greene and Gaynor Again Be-
fore the Courts.

New Orleans, La, March 5.-The
celebrated case of Benjamin B. Greene
and John F. Gaynor charged with
conspiracy against the United States
government was called for argument
today by the United States circuit
court of appeals.
This case has been pending for more
than seven years in one form or an
other, involving arguments before jul
dicial authorities of this country, Can
ada and England. After the original
indictment had been found in Savan-
nah, Ca, in 1899, there followed about
two years Of preliminary examination
in New York, where the defendants
reside. Then following a brief hear
ing in Savannah. they were for more
than three years fugitives in Canada,
while the United States government
carried their cases to the privy coun-
sci in England before securing their
extradition. In January 1906, at their
trial in Savannah. they were declared
guilty on charges of conspiracy, en-
bezzlement and presenting false
claims. Convictions were secured on
the allegation that they conspired to
defraud the United States govern
ment by inducing the acceptance of
their bids at a higher cost that condf-
lions warranted, on contract work in
Savannah harbor.
They We're sentenced to four years
imprisonment each and to pay a fine
of $4,000, which equals the entire
amount paid them by the government
for the Savannah work. They are now
in Jail at Macon, pending the report of
the appeal which is being argued.
Before the case was called attor-
neys for Greene and Gaynor ANNOUNCE
ed that the appeal is based on nearly
200 assignments of error classified un-
der fifteen subjects, including the ex-
tradition proceedings. the statutes of
limitation, the question of whether
New York or Georgia courts had jur-
isdietion, and the claim that the jury
which convicted was not legally quail
flied.

.FRAT. BILL is REPoRTED.
The Senate Committee on Education
Would Abolish Fraternities.

"Frats'' in Kansas high schools
were given another blow today. The
senate committee on education report
ed favorably upon the Miller bill, al
ready passed by the house, which pro-
hibits the organization of all secret
fraternal orders in public schools and
high schools.
The committee was unanimous In
its report. 1t is composed of the fol-
lowing senators: Young, Fitzpatrick,
Haskell, Porter of Crawford, Carver,
HAYDEN, Chapman, Lower, Simons.
on today's calendar, the Miller bill
stands at the very foot. There are rs
bills ahead of it, but the chances are
that it will be reached before the end
of the session, and If it is reached, the
indications are that it will pass the
senate and become a law. The sena-
tors who do not live in towns where
high school fraternities have not been
organized can't see the advantage in
them.

1T MADE A BIG HOLE.
One Thousand Pounds of Dynamite
Explodes Injuring Forty Persons.

Pottsxille Pa, March 5.-By the ex-
plosion of one thousand pounds of dyn-
amite in the dynamite storehouse of the
Richards coIliery of the Susquehanna
Coal company near Mount Carmel, to-
day forty persons were injured, one of
them. Lewis Dowie, of Mount Carmel,
fatally. The explosion caused damage
to the extent of s150,000.
The dynamite house was about 125
feet from the offices of the company
No one is known to have been in the
house at the time and the cause OF
the explosion is a mystery.
The office building in which the clerks
were at work, the supply house and the
carpenter shops, all filed with work
men.-were wrecked, most of the work
men being injured by flying splinters
and several sustained fractured arms
or legs.
The explosion made a hole in the
ground so feet in diameter and 10 feet
deep. Seven hundred men and boys
were thrown out of employment tenn

At home Kinnison is a seed mer-
chant. and. one of d. the boys. d.. He
brought a large lump of his popular
ity and good nature to Topeka with
him, and it came in handy during the
dark and stormy session. When a huge
wave of hot air threatened to sink
him, he would unroll his package and
hand a slice to Chalk Beeson. or some
other neighbor. and the waters would
recede. The gentleman from Garden
City is a firm believer in legislation
without bloodshed, and to one in the
gallery. it looks like the bloodless kind
gives best results.
1t is the general belief that H. w.
Grasse, member of the legislature, has
the best reason of any member for
favoring a stringent direct primary
law. There is large chance that he
would now be serving. a second term
as state treasurer, had a primary law
been in effect two years ago last fall.
He didn't have any show in a loaded
convention, and knew it. so he got cold
feet and backed out, but at that time
lot of people were bowling for
change in the cut and dried program,
and might have dragged the Gentle
man from Lacrosse through by the
coat tails, had they been given
chance.

CAKE AT 81 PER SLICE.
Were Plenty of Takers Even at That
Price at First Baptist Church.

Selling cake at 81 slice is the way
the members of the First Baptist church
coaxed willing dollars last evening from
the many who were interested in rails
ing the debt incurred in building the
new boulder church. The cake went
readily even at this rather high price
1t was the fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of the congregation of the
First Baptist church. Two hundred and
fifty members crowded the church par
lors and participated in the event.
An effort was made to get in COM
municatiOn with the original seven per-
sons who first established the congraga-
ton half century ago but the effort
was unsuccessful and it is impossible
to tell whether any are still living of
that number or not.
Mrs John G. Otis was the Oldest mem
Der in attendance last evening, having
been connected continuously for a
period of AZ years with the First Bap-
fist church. Mr.. John R. Mulvane of
the board of trustees could show 81
years of service with the same congre-
cation.
A programme which interested and
entertained was made up largely of
music and addresses.
