RELIEF COMMITTEE WORK.

The Relief Committee report that all
destitute cases have been looked after
and other cases disposed with, leaving
the list clear. All who have applied
have been given amounts as requesr
ed, sufficient to see them through I'M

coming in. Destitute people have In
most cases been given tickets to their
homes, where tney would be among
friends that would look after theni.
Seven transportations were issued AZ
the last meeting. and parties left on
the following trains for their old
homes. The committee on relief have
taken receipts IN all cases where
money. groceries or transportation
were given, and IN each case have
given amounts that were asked for, so
they believe that all relief work has
been properly attended to.

DERSONS who identify the Republican
party with a high protective traiff
= have forgotten their history. 1t is
only in comparatively recent years that
the party has taken up protection. When
the Republicans held their first conven-
tion at Philadelphia, June H. 1856, they
ignored the tariff question and devoted
themselves TO Kansas, slavery in the ter
ritories and the Pacific railroad. The
first mention of the tariff by the Repub-
lican party was in the convention of 1860
that nominated Lincoln. Then the plat
form said
THAT, while providing revenue for the
support of the general government by
duties upon imports, sound policy re-
quires such an adjustment of these i'm
posts as to encourage the development
of the industrial interests of the whole
country; and we commend that policy
of national exchanges which secures to
the workingmen liberal wages, to agri-
culture remunerating prices, to mechan-
les and manufacturers an adequate re-
ward for their skill, labor and enterprise.
and to the nation commercial prosperity
and independence.
Mild words these. which might have
been subscribed to by the tariff revision
lists of that day In the war the tariff
was lost sight of and no mention of it is
found in the platform of 1856. or in that
of 1861 In 1872 the platform aid:

raised by duties upon importations. the
details of which should be so adjusted as
to aid in securing remunerative wages to
labor and promote the industries, pros
perity and growth of the whole country. "
Nothing that would give aid and COM
fort to extreme stand-patters in that
declaration certainly. And practically
the same words were repeated in 1876 and
again in 1880. The platform of 1884 brought
out a somewhat stronger assertion with
the first use of the word protection" 1t
says;
I'VE demand that the imposition of du-
ties on foreign imports shall be made
not for revenue only, but that, in rails
ing the requisite revenues for the govern
ment such duties shall be so levied as to
afford security to our diversified interests
and protection to the rights and wages
of laborers.'
It was not until 1888 that there was
full-fiedged declaration ''uncompromising-
" in favor of the American system OF
protection" The truth is, of course, that
nobody-least of all the party OF Lincoln
contemplated high protection until AFTER
the war had forced such duties as mill
tary measure When their necessity MAD
passed the favored interests combined
and stood pat--as was natural. 1t Is the

Views OH Transportation

no equity in publcs service that dlscrlm-
mates between classes of citizens either
in quality or cost of service. IT Commits
sioner Loveland desires to serve the pub
lie he must get these facts so instilled
into his mind that he will apply them
inevitably and uneonsciously.
In transportation of commodities there
must be unit of quantity, and that unit
must be based upon what constitutes
sound policy and not upon any logical de-
auctions or PARTIES of reasoning. 1t Is
reasonable that carload lots should be
transported at a lower rate than single
articles or broken carloads, but it does
no. follow. as Mr.. Rockefeller affirms
that IL does, that trainload lots should go
at lower rate than single cars. The
parity of reason is clear and not to be
questioned, but public policy affirms shat
II is not good to have a few big fish eat

lower rate per car than carloads.
Cooperation is a good thing. 1t is as
good a thing and as much in the public
interest, as a corporation or partnership
and should be accorded the same priv
ileges Therefore, no matter how 1t may
affect the jobbing trade or wholesaling,

carload of merchandise to be shipped
must be given the car rate, whether by

Wholesaling and jobbing have their own
abundant protection without demanding
any special privileges as shippers. Power

ity of purpose, are their safe reliance
for an opportunity to do business.
Colonel Loveland should sever his rela-
tions with any jobbing interests with
which he may have been connected and
sit up nights with himself until he gets
into his inner consciousness a few funda-
mental principles regarding transporta-
ton. in order that he may deal justly

A LONG REACH

TIME Sacramento Bee points to the
assignment of Representative
4 Knowland on the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce as
an illustration of the influence of the
Southern Pacific over Speaker Cannon.
"Knowland is a mere programmer,"
says the Bee, land a willing slave of
the railroad power in California, to
which he owes his political career
such as it is.
"At time like this, when the great
est issue before the nation is that of
railroad control and regulation, what
mockery it is to put such chattels as
Knowland on the interstate commerce
committee, to which all railroad bills
are referred!
Cannon himself is a mere creature
of the trusts and the railroads, and one
of the chief obstacles to reform legis-
lation regarding monopolies and the
tariff
Possibly Representative Knowland's
reputation as a "programmer' and
"chattel" of the Southern Pacific, as
Iue bee terms MIN, accounts 1OT lne BleS
with which his appointment on this
important committee was received by
Senator Perkins, who writes from
Washington under date of December 81:
''In the house, Congressman Knowland
is member of the most important COM
mittee at the present time. Only when a
tariff bill or tariff measures are under
consideration is the ways and means

The most vital legislation of the pres

food bills, Panama canal measures,

HNHE views of Railroad Commissioner
Loveland, regarding transportation,
Il are of peculiar public interest
just now. It. is in the atmosphere
that the people of California are
going to require more of their state
railroad commission than has contented
them during the last two decades. 1t is
not perhaps clear in the public mind as
to what should be required of the COM
mission, but certainly something more
important than drawing salaries and
holding now and again a meeting for at
tending to comparative trifies.
1t would occasion little comment II
Commissioner Loveland should make it
evident, as time passes, that he came
onto the commission to represent the in
terests of the transportation companies
rather than the interests of the people
who furnish business to the transporta-
ton companies. In fact, the public would
be greatly and agreeably surprised If 1t
should discover the converse to be true,
but to have 1t appear that he represents
the jobbing interests especially would
inhict a sense of injury. and, from cur
rent reports, such would seem to be the
fact.
Freight traffic is supplied by wholesal-
ers, jobbers and individual shippers.
These classes are not fixed by law. and
the laws and public policies have no in
terest in their maintenance. 1t is no part
of the duty of a master of transportation
to so far defect rate sheets from straight
lines as to make 1t inevitable that there
shall be wholesalers, jobbers and indi-
vidual shippers. These several forms of
public activity will take care of them
selves in obedience to requirements en-
tirely outside of traffic arrangements. In
other words. no special favors should be
accorded in freight rates to any person
because he is a wholesaler, because he
is a jcbber, or denied any individual be-
cause he is an individual.
A railroad is a creature of the law and
so is an express company. Neither has
a right to exist except 1t serve the public
and serve II equitablY. and there can be

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
THE RECALL

TN discussing the value of those
three meritorious principles the ini-
II tiative, the referendum and the
recall, Municipal Affairs, the monthly
organ of the Municipal league, says:
1T has been contended by the enc
mics of these very meritorious factors
in our city charter that the compare
tive ease with which they can be
invoked would make them a costly null
sance; that when a small percentage of
the people can compel a special cleo
ton they would be so numerous as to
become by-words, and that they would
be regarded with utter Indifference. if
not with resentment. Happily, these
views have not prevailed, nor have the
just weapons of the people been too
frequently or improperly used. The
recall has been invoked but once, and
then with benefcent results; nor has
that is burdensome and costly. 1t is
scarcely necessary to point out that to
a very large extent the value of the
initiative, referendum and recall lies
not in the fact that they are used, but
that they may be used. They are the
most, powerful deterrent we have
against bad officials and corrupt and
incompetent law making"
The editor of this publication argues
that if these measures were too fire.
quently used, cor regarded as the every
day sandbag of the voting citizen, to
be juggled as threats every time some
critical person is dissatisfied" their
usefulness would become seriously
impaired. While this is true to GER
tain extent, the question naturally
arises, Who is to be the judge of the
proper time when the recall is to be
invoked, for example? While hotheaded
critics not infrequently may suggest
the recall as a remedy or a punishment
for delinquencies on the part of public
officials, unless they actually succeed in
getting a recall petition into circula-
ton in spite of the counsels of cooler
heads little harm will be done.
These ideas of government are rela-
lively new to the average voter, and
until the public becomes better accus-
toned to them it is quite likely that
once in a while some fiery advocate of
the recall of some official who has
shown an exasperating lack of regard
for the duties of his office will start a
recall agitation. But, on the other
hand, if nobody ever seriously takes up
a proposal to invoke the recall until
the derelictions of a public official
become so notorious that his return to
private life may be regarded as the
certain result of popular vote, we are
apt to witness a greater degree of indif-
ference to public opinion on the part of
elected officials who do not regard pub
lie office as a public trust than If some-
body threatened to raise this effective
club.

PARCELS POST


THERE Is little likelihood that the
proposed parcels post law viii be
enacted by the present congress.
Platt. Aldrich. Cannon and the other
agents of the railroads and express
companies already have put 1t TO sleep
for at least one year more. But If the
members of congress who dare to arise
and affirm that their bodies are occu-
pied by their own souls really want to
perform a service for the country, they
will make some sort of a fight to
secure the passage of the bill author
izing the postmaster general to under
take an experiment which will deter
mine the practicability of and the pos
sibility of profit in the operation of the
system proposed.
Representative Lafean of Pennsyl-
vania proposes that the postmaster
generals scheme be put in operation in
the counties of York and Adams, in
Pennsylvania. This section of the state
includes a prosperous agricultural dis
trict, and the population is gathered
around lively manufacturing centers
from which radiates a network of 142
rural delivery routes. With one excep-
ton all are included within the limits of
these counties There is no better field
for experimentation in this direction,
and Postmaster General Meyer has
given his approval of the plan.
The least congress can decently do
is to permit the passage of the bill
authorizing this experiment. The coun-
try is quite certain that no matter how
successful the operation of the scheme
may be proved the opposition will not
be affected. So long as congress con-
sists for the greater part of moral cow
ards, of spoilsmen who think vastly
more of who shall be postmaserts in
the towns in their districts than of the
matters of larger Importance, of sena-
tors like Plat and Depew, Aldrich, For
aker and Spooner-confessed agents of
railroad and express monopolies-and
of representatives like Cannon, who,
after all is said and done, is really the
house of representatives, the people
need expect nothing tangible in the
way of relief from the expressions of
the express companies. There is but
one way in which a parcels post law
may be secured, and that is through the
election of a congress strong enough to
legislate for the people on its own mi
tiative rather than to accept without a
murmur the program laid down for it
by a small coterie of men like those
named.
