and that may relieve the suffering

We lay upon every man elected to
any executive or legislative office the
first duty of striving to procure what
ever Is for the workers most immed-
late interest, and for whatever will
lessen the economic and political
powers of the capitalist and increase
the like powers of the worker.
But, in so doing, we are using
these remedial measures as means to
the one great end of the cooperative
commonwealth. Such measures of
relief as we may be able to force from
capitalism are but preparation of
the workers to seize the whole powers
OF government, in order that they
may thereby lay hold of the whole
system of industry, and thus come in
to their rightful Inheritance.
To this end we pledge ourselves,
as the party of the working class, to
use all political power as fast as It
shall be entrusted to us by our fell
low-workers, both for their immed-
late interests and for their ultimate
and complete emancipation. To this
end we appeal to all the workers of
America, and to all who will lend
their lives to the service of the work.
ers in their struggle to gain their
own, and to all who will nobly and
disinterestedly give their days and
energies unto the workers cause, to
cast in their lot and faith with the
socialist party. Our appeal for, the
trust and suffrages of our fellow
workers is at once an appeal for their
common good and freedom, and for
the freedom and blossoming of our
common humanity. In pledging our
selves, and those we represent, to be
faithful to the appeal which we mako
we believe that we are but preparing
the soil of that economic freedom
from which will spring the freedom
OF the whole man.

oppressive reprisals by legislatures or
public commissions have served to in
crease, rather than minimize, the diff
entities of the problem. 1t is well
understood that no state or community
can thrive without adequate railroad
facilities, and a sound public policy de-
mands that the car riers be encouraged
in their legitimate develoI ment and
that their right to fair return upon
their investment he conceded. Where
reduction of p ssenger rates is justified
by bu.iupss conditions tn re can be no
objection to its enforcement but the
reductions ought to be based upon exact
mathematical calculation, never upon
sentiment or prejudice. Gov. Hughes
of New York took the correct position
when he vetoed the two-cent rate I'LL
passed By his own legislature on the
ground that the question had not been
carefully considered and that careful
aud competent investigation Of the late
question must be made before such
rate could Justly be enforced If this
pronouncement be applauded in New
York, state in which Passenger traffic
is enormous, how much stronger is its
claim to consideration in the southern
states, so thinly settled that the earn
ings from passenger traffic must of
necessity be much smaller.
The growing popular demand ior
more reasonable rate regulations, aud
for enactments that shall be fair alike
to the public and the carriers, points
the way TO better understanding be-
tween the clashing interests and to
satisfactory adjustment of the differ
ences existing: Il consummation de-
voutly to he wished 2tl

PASSENGER RATES.

From the Times Democrat, New Or
leans, La of Jan. 25, 1908.
The action of the Texas Railroad
Commission in dismissing, some days
ago, its motion to promulgate an order
reducing passenger rates in that state
from three to two and a half cents,
assigning as its reason that "the pres
ent time Is nnfavora BILE to lower fares in
Texas" is significant and encouraging.
A more reasonable drift of public senti
ment in matters affectirg g the common
carriers is indicated, not alone in
Texas, but il modified degree in other
southern states which have been ex-
perimenting with reduced rates. The
reaction was inevitable, but the recent
furry and the industrial depression
that followed have naturally FASTENED
it But a few months ago commercial
demands upon freight equipment had
swamped the carriers. Empty freight
cars, everywhere requisitioned, were
not TO be had, and the car famine was
more acute than that Of the previous
year Today thousands of 'empties''
are standing upon the sidipgs, with the
millions of money invested in them
earning practically no return. OBJ
viously the time is ill-chosen for reduc-
tion OF railroad rates, and the action of
the Texas commission proves that the
public is intelligent enough to recog-
nize this fact and reasonable enough to
see that justice be done.
The Times Democrat, throughout the
period of agitation, has contended that
passenger rates ought to be reduced
only after a careful and thorough in
quiry BY competent Investigators has
shown that reductions would prove
equitable to all concerned. We have
questioned the wisdom OF arbitrary
laws, hastily enacted by legislators ill.
informed as to the effect upon the carri-
ers. Particularly is there need OF
caution in the southern states, most
of which are so sparsely populated as
to render arbitrary reductions hazard.
Gus. 1t is true that the carriers have
been guilty of grave abuses and that
their ill-chosen methods CT opposing
rate reductions have been shrewdly cal
culated to inflame the public mind
But two wrongs never make right and
