DON'T WANT THEIR OARS.
Railroads Are Now Willing to Lei
Them Stay Where They Are.

Chicago, Jam. 30.-A special meet
ing Of the American Railway asSo cia-
ton has been called for at Chicago,
February 81. for the purpose of adopt
ing measures to stop the tremend ous
loss occasioned by the present move
ment of empty cars on the railroads
of the country.
It is the first special meeting in the
history of the association and the
emergency is regarded as great. 1t is
stated that since the falling off in
traffic began several million dollars
have been wasted by the railroads in
their frantic efforts to send the
empty cars of other railroads home
and thereby escape the penalty of
fifty cents a day for the use of for
by the association less than one year
ago to accomplish the very thing
which the railroads are now anxious
to stop.
At the time that the fifty-cent PEN
atty was imposed, however, the rail-
roads were more than 100000 cars
short of the number required to take
care of the traffic ofrered. 1t was,
therefore, desired to insure the speedy
return of freight equipment to the
road owning the cars and to prevent
roads which were short of equipment
from retaining and using cars belong
ing to other lines.
Now the situation has so materially
changed that there are at least $780,
600 idle freight cars in the United
States, and no road desires the speedy
return OF it's equipment. 1t is stated
that fully one-fifth of the entire
freight car movement recently has
been that of empty cars being hurried
to the owning or home roads. This
movement costs an immense amount
of money and the railroads have come
to the conclusion that it would be bet
ter to permit the cars to remain where
they are until they are needed.
1t is therefore purposed to suspend
the operation of the per diem rules,
| beginning March l and continuing un-
til the situation again demands pen
atty. Railroad men declare that the
present situation has never had

Referring specifically to senate
it scarcely needs to be said that if the
state has power to enact a lew which
would compel the banks to participate
in its scheme for the regulation of that
business for the purpose of guarantee

matter of course that the legislature
would have the right to impose such
regulations where the participation of
the banks in the benefits of the law are
left to. the discretion of each bank af-

municipalities is fixed by the reported

The dear pee-pul of a state can not
attend every session of the legislature
in a body, for the purpose Of keeping
tab on their representatives. For this
reason they depend upon a small
squad of men, known in newspaper
circles as the "hot house." This squad
of sharp-sh ooters occupy long curved
tables in front of the speaker of the
house and the president of the senate,
armed with lead pencils and messenger
boys. and when Bill Snort, representa-
tive or senator from the 'steenth dis
trict, makes q bad break, his words
are scientifically embalmed and for
warded to his constituency. Knowing
this, there is a marked tendency on the
part of the representative of the pee
pull to restrain himself in the presence
Of the representative Of the press. The
embalmers of words, rash and other

above the influence of any individual
politician. In days past, bills have

Plan to Raise Salaries of City EN-.
pIoyes Fails.

Certain of the city employees who
have been confidently expecting in
creases in salaries had their expecta-
tions showered with cold water last
night when the committee on ways
and means voted to defer action I'M
til after the municipal election in
April This applied to all with the
exception of the plumbing inspector,
John Sheahan, who was recommend
ed to the council for the increase
from $1,000 to $1,000. The recon-
mendation seems to have been color
ed largely with politics.
The committee itself made a re-
comm ndation several weeks ago for
Increased pay to, the. police court
prosecutor and voted in the council
for increases in the electric light de-
partment. When the ordinances were
prepared providing for these raises in
salary the committee asked to have
the ordinances referred back to that
body. Last night 1t switched back on
all that it had voted for with the ex-
ception of the increase contemplated
for the plumbing Inspector. The fact
that the other raises were pigeon
holed until following the spring mu-
nicipal election f1avors the opinion
that politics had a whole lot to do
with the committees action. Why the
plumbing inspector should be singled
out for favors above other city Off
Gals is hard to see from the stand
point of equity.
Mayor VIM. Green does not favor
| the committees action of last even
| ing and 1t is probable there are other
members in the council who will as
sumo the position of the mayor and
refuse to act favorably on the COM
mittee's action.
The committee voted to create the
office of inspector of weights and
| measures. This Is the office that
several of the administration council
| men favor. It will provide that in
spection be made at least twice a
year of the weights and measures en-
ployed in the stores of the city,
Heavy penalties will be inflicted on any
one who fail to conform to the stan
dard and who employs weights and
measures that give his customers the
worst of the deal. The city will pur-
chase a standard set of instruments
| the cost of which will run UP to sew
eral hundred of dollars 1t is expect
ed that the fees collected will more
| than make the office sustaining es-
| pecially If the office is combined with
that Of license collector.
| The resolution to. combine the Of

cense collector was voted down. Il
was decided that the DUTIES of the
| two offices were too dissimilar.
