"CANS" ARKANSAS LAW.

Four interstate railroads that, in
their course, traverse Arkansas, be-
sought Judge Vandeventer, of the
United States circuit court of appeals
TO enioin the Arkansas law reducing
passenger fares to 2 cents mile. The
Judge ordered the state Of Arkansas
to show cause why it should not be
restrained and both parties appeared
before him in ST. Paul, the one to show
that the rate was not compensatory,
the other assert the sovereignty of
the state and also to contest the allie
cation that the 2cent rate is unre-
munerative Judge Vandeventer sus-
tains the railroads and temporarily
restrains the operation of the law.
Two points in this suit are notable.
The Iron Mountain & Southern assert
ed that its records showed loss of
Sl44,000 during the year on "its busi-
ness in Arkansas" The auditors
statement omitted income from car
riage of mail and from express COM
panies. As the cost Of that part of
the traffic was omitted from the com
putation the attorneys insisted it was
fair to omit the revenue derived from
it. The state insisted that revenue
from those sources should be consider
ed; that every passenger train carried
mail and express cars; that this is the
uniform practice; that such carriage
is an essential and inseperable part of
passenger service. and that its cost is
incapable of separate statement. The
brief dispatch announcing the decision
gives no judicial reasons, but, pre-.
sumptively, the judge ignored the
states contention. He may have left
it to be threshed out at the trial. The
point is important and bears upon the
remunerative phase of the question.
The other point touches the ques,
ton of the relation of states to inter
state transportation companies and
throws light on the absurdity of the
demand of the Denver platform that
the states shall have supreme power
to regulate interstate corporations
doing business in them. The four
complainants have their initial and
terminal points outside of Arkansas.
Their traffic is mainly between states.
A small percentage of it begins and
ends in Arkansas. The Arkansas law
can operate only on traffic beginning
and ending in the state. The railroads
insist, for the purpose of these suits,
upon that fact. The sole question for
determination is the effect OF the law
on the business of the railroads done
within the state. 1t excludes consider
alton of business passing through the
state, the far greater and more re-
munerative part.
1t is probable that in Arkansas and
other thinly populated states a 2-cept

The grand jury at Springfield, H.,
returned III indictments against those
participating in the riot against the
negroes in that city about three weeks
ago. Four of the indicted are mem
bers of the police force who failed to
perform their duty. Murder and rob-
berry are among the counts. The truth
is that the riot was mostly by the
hoodlum class. If a general race war
is ever brought about in this country
it will be because of the work of the
worst element in the two races. 1t is
the part of wisdom to nip such work
in the bud.

DEMOCRATS CAUGHT IN THEIR

The recent decision of the state

names could be placed under the

The republican party in South Da.
kota does not have to go before the
voters with apologies. Every part of
the 1906 platform was compiled with
by the administration. Railroad taxes
have been materially increased; the
primary system enacted into law;
railroad passenger rates ordered re-
duced, and the reduction only delay
ed through the interference of the
federal court over which the state ad
ministration has no control. The
primary law was enacted and the re-
suit of the recent trial of that system
accepted in good faith No doubt the
result was not entirely pleasing to
some, they would have had it ifferent,
but the primary was provided to
determine the will of the people, and,
that will having been ascertained, it
has been accepted in good faith How
different is the action of the repub-
licans from that of the democrats in
this state who loudly proclaimed
themselves in favor of primary sys
tenn, and then at the first opportunity
sought to violate the provisions of the
law and to obtain decision of the
supreme court To destroy it.

fare is unremuneratiye even if mail
and express income is included, if in
quiry be limited to strictly intrastate
business, but is compensatory if inter
state tratficis the basis of computation.
Insistence upon the Denver dogma in
such states defeats itself, for the four
teenth amendment forbids states to en-
act laws that deprive persons of prop
erty, and compelling service at loss
is appropriating property. For self
protection and in self interest states
will have to waive jurisdiction over
interstate corporations.

The COST OF CAMPAIGNING.

Some of che papers are fgur-
ing up the cost of a man being
elected to some state office, and
how the candidate must send
money into each county to help
defray the expenses of the cam
paign, and it is pointed out that
a poor man cannot afford to run
for office.
This is quite true and for this
reason many men that would
best flltheposition were left out,
not because he cannot raise the
price with which to meet the ex-
penses, but because he finds it
mich more profitable to follow
his regular business than to go
aroun / looking for another that
requires a large investment to
begin with, and that before he is
sure of the place.
Now just how this is to be
rem died, We not:goingt to say,
bu: all will agree that such a
state should be changed. The
old saying that honest men did
not remain in politics long is lit
tie to be wondered at when you
can easily see that he spends his
first years salary to get elected.

declared that it was opposed to,

in behalf of special interests,

against the growth of trusts and
other inordinate and dangerous
combinations of capital and i'm
