WHERE DO THE OLD PIANOS COR
That 10, When They Get So Old You
Can't Give Them Away.

What becomes OF all the old pianos?
Any piano dealer will take your old
plano when you want new one and
will allow substantial credit on 1t.
even II 1t is OF another make, says
the New York Sun. From time to time
the dealers announce sales of used
pianos. All dealers have large stocks
Of them on hand constantly.
One plano firm has ON exhibition an
old-fashioned square piano which was
made at least half century ago. This
piano bears placard to the effect that
any one who will pay the carriage
may have 1t for the asking. No one
has accepted the offer.
Suppose no one ever takes that
piano off the hands OF the dealers who
want to get rid Of 1t. What will the
dealers do with Il? Obviously with
rents as high as they are 1t wouldn't
pay to store piano you can't give
away
So the question remains: What, In
the last stage of undesirability, be
comes Of all the old pianos?

The Station Trackage Bill.

The Senates passage of the Union sta
ton trackage bill puts the matter up to
the House, and there is reason to hope
for prompt action on that side. The prop
osition to saddle certain general legisla-
ton upon the measure was finally put to
a vote and was emphatically negatived
There should be an equal disposition on
the House side to allow the question to
come to a vote without filibustering and
delay. The question involved in the main
measure is simplicity itself The other
questions are less simple. They are
ra ther complex and far reaching. But that
fact will not justify a postponement of
report and vote upon the trackage bill in
order that the committee or the House
may acquaint itself to the last detail with
the merits of the plan for universal trans
fers or five-cent fiat fares or franchise tax
alton. Every day of delay in the passage
of this bill means a loss of time and
money to the people who use the Union
station, and this fact should alone be con-
sidered and should stimulate the House
TO the earliest possible action in concur
renee.

The Two-Cent Rate Decision.

The state of Pennsylvania is the first Of
the commonwealths which enacted two
cent fare laws last winter to have the
statute declared void by the highest court
of the jurisdiction First the court OF
common pleas of Philadelphia county pro-
nounced the new law unconstitutional,
and now the supreme court of the state
has upheld that bcsion. This statute
was enacted By a practically unanimous
vote In both branches of the Legislature.
1t vns In response to the overwhelming
sentiment in favor of railroad rate re-
drction which swept over the country and
found expression in similar enactments in
a large number of the states. The Penn
sylvania courts. UPON closely examining
the statute in its practical workings. have
found that the prescribed maximum rate
is unremunerative to the corporations.
1t is believed in we'll Informed circles
that much of the recent money trouble
was due directly to the epidemic of rate
regulation which attacked the country
shortly after Congress had enacted the
federal rate law and which shook public
confidence in the value of long list of
investment securities. In but few of the
legislatures was the subject carefully
critics OF the corporations were handled
without regard for the most elementary
principles of TRANSPORTATION finance Lit
tie regard paid TO the density of pop
ulaton. the length of hauls. and other
factors which make for or against the
reasonableness of prescribed rates. The
lawmakers were obsessed with the single
idea that the railroads were charging too
much and that they must be checked and
disciplined.
If the two-cent rate is confiscatory and
unconstitutional for that reason in Penn
sylvan!a. state of dense population
short hauls and comparatively inexpensive
operation. the same rate in a state like
Texas must be doubly conhscatory. The
fact is that rate fixing by legislation. in
the case of a great TRANSFORMATION system
is difficult and complicated matter
Doubtless there are good grounds for the
public indignation against the roads. The
corporations have been unwise i'll tacir
abuse Of the powers secured by them in
tho early days of railroad incorporation
