Postmaster Dewey Calls Attention to
Matters of Interest.

Postmaster Dewey desires to call
attention to the practice of some pat
rons of rural delivery of placing loose
coins in their boxes each time they
desire to dispatch letters instead of
supplying themselves with postage in
advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing
coins from boxes and delays them on
the service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgent
ly requests that patrons of rural de-
livery provide themselves and keep
on hand a supply of stamps consis-
tent with and in advance to their
needs. 1t is also very desirable that
rural patrons place in their mail
boxes small detachable cups of wood
or tin in which to place coins, when
necessary, in purchasing supplies of
stamps.

Pennsylvania 2-Cent Law.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvan
Ia has just affirmed the decision o.
the Common Pleas Court of Phila
law passed by the last Legislature is
unconstitutional. The lower court
gave weight to the contention that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
which fought the enforcement of the
law, was protected by certain char
ter rights which constituted con-
tract with the state and under which
the rates of passenger fare could not
be altered by legislation. But it al
so held the 2-cent rate to be--as re-
garded at least a part of the COM
pany's passenger usiness-oppres-
sive and confiscatory. This essential
point in the decision is sustained by
the Supreme Court, which says that d
fat 2-cent rate would prevent the
company's earning a fair return on
some of the lines which it operates.
The notification of the 2-cent fare
Law is welcome because it will help
to restrain the tendency of legisla-
lures to deal summarily with a gener-
al situation without inquiring into
and allowing for necessary inequali-
ties in local conditions. 1t is abb
surd to ignore variations in the earn
ing power of railroad properties and
to prescribe the same maximum of
passenger transportation charges for
a trunk line operating a hundred or
two hundred trains a day and a
branch line. with perhaps one train
each way daily. Because the big
steam line can and does reduce pas
sepger rates it does not follow that
the branch line, owned by different
interests, should be compelled to do
business at rate forbidding legiti-
mate profit.
There was no question in Penn
sylYania of the ability of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company to do
iness at maximum rate of 2 cents
q mile The company's suburban
traffic charges average much less
than 2 cents and it offers 1,000-mile
tickets, good over all its lines, for $40
Yet It is not clear, that it could make
a uniform 2-cent rate on many of it's
branch or leased lines for local as
well as for special l ,000-mile ticket
traffic. Undoubtedly on some such
dimes the passenger would be carried
at loss, and it was a plain neglect
OF duty on the part of. the Legisla-
ture not to recognize the inequalities
In earning power between the differ
ent corporations involved. What
was practically harmless, for one was
a positive deprivation of rights and
property for another.
Governor Hughes did great SER
vice at a critical moment by vetoing
a 2-cent fare bill in this state and
thus calling a halt on a movement
then sweeping the country. Gener-
allied legislation is easy, but Cover
nor Hughes wisely insisted that de-
tails should not be ignored and that
the case for each railroad should be
judged on its own merits. There
should he no more off-hand guess
work and farcical fiat rate equaliZa-

REGARDING IT TO
JAPAN
(By Associated Press. }

Toxic, Feb. 19.-The memoran-
dunn of the Japanese government in
reply to that OF the United States ON
the subject of immigration of the
Japanese to the United States was
handed to Ambassador O'BrieH to-
day.
1t is understood that the memoir
andum agrees in general terms with
a number of suggestions made by
the American government, and en-
sures a further restriction of emigra-
tion by the practical prohibition of
laborers.
The Japanese government points
out that the restrictions already en-
forced, including the closing OF emf
grafton to Canada, Mexico and the
Hawaiian islands. will make future
complaints from America almost i'm
possible.
The government, however, is fac
ing the powerful opposition of the
emigration companies who are be-
hind the proposed resolution in the
diet to censure the foreign policy OF
Hayashi. This will proba.
