LOWER FARES ON
MANY RAILnOADS

A number of states have passed laws
making the passenger fareson the raj
raods two cents a mile. Some have
graded the roadsand have made tho
fares to range from 2 to 3 cents a
mile. Michigan is an example of the
latter classof states and a years trial
has shown thaton some Of the roads
at least, there has been a net gain
in the receipts from the passenger
traffic, as the result of the reduced
rates. 1t may, we suppose, be as
sumed that a reduction in the .ares
will result in an increaseof travel, the
only question being whether the in
crease will be sufficient to make good
the loss of receipts per passenger car
ried. Sometimes, presumably, it will
and sometimes it will not. And each
case must be decidedon its own mer-
it's. 1t isevident, however, that a
railroad running through a %populous
district can carry passengers at a low
er rate that a road running through a
sparcely settled state, The road must
be made profitable, or it will detor-
late either in the number of trains
or the comfrot of the cars.
Most of the roads seem inclined to

make a fair trial of the low rates
for a reasonable time in order that
the of the reduction may
not merely be estimated, but demon
strated While they are unsatisfact
tory to the roads, the courts, in the
end will be envoked, and each con
tested case will be settled by itself.
The public is entitled to reasonable
service and at reasonable pay. The
courts will hold that it is not neees-
sary that each trip. or even each tram
should show a profit, but they Will
probably hold that the net receipts
from passenger traffic shall return a
fair rate of interest on the amounts
necessarily invested in the service. The
difficulty of course will be to discover
what that investment will be. 1t is
difficult and it may be impossible to
segregate the investment for passen
ger service. which may be prescribed
by the statelaws, is valid, provided
that theaggregate net proceeds from
Incorporation of theroad, are properly
s to say, that freight traffic may be
lawfully burdened with a deficit arts
ng from the passenger traffic. There
is littledoubt but that this point will
be ultimately raised in the courts IN
cases in which the railroad companies
claim that the fares fixed by the law
are eonfiscatory. Our legal railroad
problems are by no means settled yet
nor are they likely to be during the
next decade. OF the Fundamental
questions those which may be regard
ID as settled are that the people may
nrescriha and enforce rates of carriagt
by all common carriers; that this au-
thority must not be so exercised as
TO deprive the carrier Of a reasona
hle return upon his investment. and
that no carrier can lawfully discrim-
mate in any way between persons
taking the same service, or between
communities or commodities, except
when forced to do so by competition
impossible to control by public au-
thorities.

In the transit of life he represents the liv-

lovely maiden in his youth, he enters on the
stern duties of life a little later where his
pathway traverses land of sorrow and

them.
Everywhere around him these phenomena
and wild beasts came to terrify this wild
man of the forests, deserts and valleys.
Fear is now his lot; where may he look
for help? The sun, moon and stars, with
their numerous phenomena are powerful
beings; they can do him harm or good; in
his terror he calls on them to protect him;
there the first rudiments of religion have
appeared-the result of fear-and on this
fear lies the foundation of all the religion,
in the world. This foundation, through all
the centuries of the dead past, has never
been shaken; it is the rock on which the
world of religions Of today rest. Here We
have the true source of all the different
religions of the world.
Out of this fear was born the belief that

Political Ills that now Afflict
and Curse the Race.
(By DR.. j. c. Barnes)
The greatest error, fraught with the
greatest evil to mans progress, to his de-
velopment morally and intellectually, is the
error termed total depravity-the error that
man is by nature averse to good or God
that he is prone to do evil.
The error is twin sister to the erroneous
idea of the so-called fall of man from prim-
eval perfection to the deepest degradation.
The doctrine prevailed, that man was so
fallen, so depraved, that he was totally
depraved and sinful and could not do good
acts until his evil nature was regenerated
by a miraculous act of God, through some
mysterious process not understood, but TAX
en- on faith.
The erroneous doctrine is opposed to the
inspiring truth that man is and always has
been as good as he knew how to be. and
environments permitted him to be, and that
he has never fallen, but has continued to
evolve and grow wiser and better by ex
perience.
The doctrine of depravity gave rise to
and fostered the idea Of deserving punish
ment or suffering, not only at the hands OF
God but at the hands Of men who were
