MIR. STUBS, GOOD PLANS.

Not even the most captious of critics
can discover good reason to find fault
with the plans for the betterment of
the affairs of Kansas and Kansans that
Mr. Stubs, the governor-elect, has in
mind and which he will suggest that
the legislature pass measures to bring
about their accomplishment. On the
contrary all persons in the state ought
to look with favor on Mr.. Stubs pro-
paganda in most of its essential details
and do whatever lies within their pow
er to aid him in making it become a
reality.
Among other things he proposes to
direct his energies to giving the state
good roads; to lay the foundation for a
comprehensive scheme for the develop
ment of a state forestry policy; to
establish a more liberal policy for the
educational institutions of the state; to
raise the standard of the rural school
system; to amend the primary and tax
laws in needed particulars and to
amend the act authorizing the govern
ment of cities of first and second class
by commissions. And he also believes
that the railroad laws already on the
statute books should be perfected.
AS to this proposition, last referred
to, there is room for some honest diff
ference of opinion, although Mr.. Stubs
has not been specific, as yet, as to
which of the state railroad laws need
to be perfected or in what way. Ger
tainly all the laws on the statute books
of the state should be perfected so that
they will be made as effective as pos
sible and the railroad laws are of that
number, of course. But it will be
doubtful in the minds of many whether
any conditions now exist in the rail-
road world or will develop by the time
the legislature meets, which will war
rant any new and general railroad leg
islation. Kansas is already surfeited
with railroad laws and it is likely that
a few of them need perfecting as to
their details. But in the remodelling
of them great care should be taken
that nothing will be done which might
turn out to be oppressive to the rail-
roads in the slightest way. The rail-
roads have really been over-legislated
against during the past few years, not
only in Kansas but all over the nation.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-11-18

They, above all others, felt the heaviest
blows of the financial panic of a year
ago. They are just getting on their
feet again, as it were, from the effects
OF those turbulent financial times, and
the coming legislature should go slow
with it's railroad legislation. There
would seem to be plenty of it on the
states statute books right now to do
a state to do to railroads, and it would
probably be a good plan to let well
enough alone in this regard.
Kansas would not occupy the proud
position she does today among her sis
ter states in the union if it had not
been for her many and excellent rail-
road systems which have made her de-
velopment possible. In times past, and
not so long gone by either, the rail-
roads undoubtedly engaged in a variety
of practices that were reprehensible, to
say the least, but those times have
passed. The railroads have been shown
the error Of their ways and have heed
ed. 1t is the desire of their officials, as
they have shown it of late, to keep well
within the mandates of the laws that
were found necessary to govern them
and which have already been enacted,
and care should be taken that they are
not asked by statute to do anything
unreasonable. A prosperous country
needs prosperous railroads. One can
not do without the other. Their inter-
ests are in common and the sooner leg
islators realize this great truth the bet
ter it will be for the railroads, the
commonwealth, and all concerned.

FROM OTHER PENS
HOLLAND AND VENEZUELA.

HOLLAND AND VENEZUELA.
Hollands action in revoking her
treaty of 1894 with Venezuela is an
act of retaliation that may have ser
ious results for President Castro's
country. Castro's own performance
in closing the Venezuelan ports to
ships coming from the Dutch Island
of Curacao was such a heavy COM
merciaI blow to the Dutch colonial
port of Willemstad that Holland s
counter blow is the natural result of
a retaliation policy. But It's ultimate
significance is in the fact that the
annulment of the treaty of 1894 opens
Willemstad to the export trade in war
materials and thus makes it possible
for Venezuelan reVolutlonlstS 10 use
the Dutch port as q base or military
supplies. This alone would stimulate
revolutionary movements in Vene-
zuela, but the Dutch government goes
much farther. In announcing that 1t
will not interfere with hl1busterlng
expeditions. it evidently seeks 10 pro
woke a revolutionary outbreak against
President Castro in his own country.
Such an announcement is SO far hos
tile to Venezuela as to be breach OF
International law and could pc
legitimately regarded by the Vene-
zuelan president as casus bell1. But
Holland for sometime has been ready
apparently, for extremes in her deal
ings with the South American coun-
try.-Springfield Republican.
AMERICAN PROFESSORS ABROAD
