CUT RATES TO STAY.
Railroads Refuse to Give Up Reduced
Fares for Excursions.

Chicago, Nov 20.-The plan of the
western railroads to abolish all special
excursion fares less than two cents
mile after January 1 in the territory
between Chicago and the Missouri
river, has been defeated through let
ter ballot. The practice of making
special rates for conventions and SINH
lar gatherings usually on the basis of
a cent and a half per mile, will be
continued.
The project of making two cents
mile the minimum rate for all occa-
sions had been advocated by the ma
jority of the lines. 1t was defeated by
the objection of certain roads, VINO
were reluctant to give up homeseekers'
rates and by those believing in the
policy of bargain rates to stimulate
their traffic on special occasions.
Several rates for which applications
have been made to the roads can now
be determined. One of the most i'm
portant is the rate to the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition to be held
next year in Seattle. The rate from
Chicago will undoubtedly be made on
the basis of 1 IL cents a mile, which
will give a through rate of $62.
In regard to the HON eseekers' fares,
which were also held up until the re-
suit of the vote was known, the joint
committee representing the Western
Passenger association and the South
western Excursion bureau has recon-
mended that the same homeSeekers'
fares apply to the west and southwest
for the months of January and Feb
ruary, 1909. as are in effect for the
month Of December, 1908; that is,
about II cents per mile.

A prompt return of the tax lists
which have been sent out to various of
the taxpayers in the county by the
county treasurer's office will greatly
facilitate the work of that office, says
Stanley Medlicott. the county treasurer.
The residents along Locust street are
now protesting over the expense of the
improvements in Parkdale. They
must pay for the Biddle creek spillway
and the paving from Eighth to Fourth
avenues, thus saving the entire neigh
borhood from the overflow from the
creek in the times of flood. However,
these improvements were not forced on
the Locust street people by the coun-
ell. They were only ordered made after
they had been petitioned for.
Another week of fair weather will
witness the finish of the West Sixth
avenue paving. This will be the banner
paved street in the state of Kansas. 1t
will require a couple of weeks to fin
ish the West Tenth avenue work. The
city engineer hopes, even in the face
of bad weather to finish the Locust
street and West Tenth avenue jobs be-
fore the real winter weather sets in.
There are at present a dozen paving
petitions in the hands of the street
and walks committee. which means
plenty of paving work for next spring
and summer. Most of these petitions
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-11-20

are for only one block of paving to
connect up paving that has already
been laid.
Procrastination is the thief of time
and also works destruction to any do
something policy. The mass meeting
yesterday evening held for the purpose
of pushing the movement for COM
mission plan of government for this
city to the stage of action resulted
in a boomerang against the new
form of government, all because of the
successful efforts for delay of those
opposed to the. plan. The matter has
been tabled for an indefinite period.
In the meantime six or eight of the
best and most progressive cities of the
state are agitating the adoption of the
commission plan of government and it
is expected that the next session of the
legislature will amend the law so that
it will cover the Des Moines idea in it's
entirety.

CARNEGIE FOR FREE STEEL
Removal of Tariff Advocated in a
Magazine Article

New York, Nov. 20.-When ques-
toned concerning an article shown
him on the tariff which is soon to ap-
pear in a New York magazine, Andrew
Carnegie declined to deny that he ad-
vocated the removal of the entire
tariff on steel.
Mr.. Carnegie's attitude was sought
in view of a report that he had de-
cided that the tariff could be removed
without hitting the American steel in
dustry and that he intended to de-
scribe this in detail in the forthcoming
article. When seen Mr.. Carnegie
said:
'"The article has been announced in
the usual fashion and it will speak for
itself in a few days. 1t is a companion
article to the one on rates and re-

The COUNTRY PAID UP.

The Commercial National Bank Of
Chicago, has just completed very
exhaustive inquiry as to crop and
business conditions all over the coun
try, and prints its general findings in
book FORM After studying the panic
in the light of experience with it in
innumerable localities, the bank Off
Gals conclude as follows:
Recent months show a diminishing
number of failures, and the aggregate
liabilities of defaulting firms in June
and July We're about the same as for
the same months in 1907. The vast
amount of commercial paper issued
thru brokers and scattered thru the
country among bankers who had no in
terest in the borrowers except to en-
force collection peremptorily was, as a
rule, promptly paid, the losses upon it
being insignificant. The banks which
We're closed under the pressure Of panic
have in nearly all cases since proved
their ability to discharge all obliga
tons to depositors, and in most in
stances have resumed business.
Altho the railways have suffered not
only, from loss Of traffic but by a heavy
increase in operating expenses and by
legislation reducing their charges.
there have been few cases of insolven-
cy, and no general reduction of divi-
dends.
Industrial establishments and COM
mercial houses are shown to have been
doing business on a broader foundation
of capital than In any previous time
of trial.
The farmers are in a wholly inde-
pendent position. in fact, have been the
great steadying factor in the situation.
The wage earning class, the most ex-
posed and helpless Of all in time of in
dustrial reaction, has suffered, newt
ably, from nom employment, but wages,
as a rule, have not been reduced, and
the workers have shown greater re-
serve resources than in any previous
emergency Of this kind.
The first half Of 1908, in short, dem
onstrated that the country is in a very
different condition from that following
any previous financial panic. During
its years Of prosperity, it has been
accommodating actual wealth. The
enormous investments Of the last ten
years have been more promptly pro-
ductive than those Of any previous
period of expansion Indeed, it is not
too much to say that there has never
been like period in the history OF
this or any other country in which Its
energies and capital have been so eff
fectively directed and completely en-
ployed as during the last ten years in
, the United States.
