 Taking 1t PhilOsophicaIly. Scottsboro Age.
 Much ado is being made over the re- quirement of the new law, requiring the members of the state railroad com mission. or one of them, to visit each county, in the state once year.
 This is a wholesome provision and. to say the least of it, will give the com missioners something to do if they obey the law. If you remember the spiel or the candidates when they are around electioneering, you would think that they were going to work themselves to death. Tn reality the office is noth- ing but a sinecure.
 The commissioners go to the capitol once a month, strut around the capt- toI and look important, draw salary of $3,600 a year, and that is about all they do. So, if they obey the law and visit each county once year, we can all endure their annual visitation. realizing that at least they are doing something to earn their salaries.
