HOW ABOUT IT?

To install the meters will cost a
certain amount.
To turn additional streams into
the reservoir would cost all amount
double what the meters will
amount to.
With additional streams, there
would be no scarcity of water. and
no need of meters, and the fact
would be known that Henderson
vile had water, plenty of it, for
all.
The above is substantially what
the opponents of meters claim to
be true. They say they have good
authority for their claims.
How about it?
The columns of the Hustler are
open to a full and free discussion
of this important matter.
To meter and stop waste or to
get more more water and have no
meters.

short and sign your name.

THE RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
nBOLT,"-ANOTHER MARES
NEST.
NEST.

Raleigh as to a general move
ment of railway employees against
the democratic party is more
fixed with folly than any similar
canard that we now recall. Ac-
cording to the wiSeacres, who
about this time of election year
begin to prophecy dire detection
from democratic ranks, the rail-
road men are incensed because
the legislature did not see fit to
embody into law the request OF
a committe from the Order OF
Railroad Conductors that it re-
peal all legislation formerly had
concerning rates and put in force
the rates in effect before the DEM
ocratic platform of 1906 made its
declaration on the subject. 1t IS
pointed out that there are twenty
thousand railway employees in
the state and-to the ends of the
political slate makers-it is pre-
sumed that they have all been
voting the democratic ticket.
Then, in order to show that the
democratic party is on the brink
of the precipice overhangin9 OBJ
livion, it is presumed that the
twenty thousand will next fall
vote as one man for the republic
can candidates. More than a
a change of twenty thousand be-
ing necessary to re-eStabliSh re-
publican rule, there is thrown In
a detection of ten to fifteen thous
and additional votes on account
of the prohibition law-and we
have democratic defeat assured.
Democrats here" writes the
Raleigh correspondents, "note
the change in sentiment and are
quaking in their boots"
Why the quaker" So far as
is yet known it is brought about
by the formation in Raleigh of a
young men's"Republican Club"
the president of which is a gen.
tleman of good character who we
are told voted for Mckinley In
1896 and 1900 and for Roosevelt
in 1904 but who has hitherto been
voting in state matters with the
democrats-and. among whom
was one railroad engineer. The
Mckinley democrat, it is under
stood, left the party on account
of prohibition, and the railroad
engineer because he was OPP
posed to rate legislation. And
this IS literally the head, tail and
hoofs of the $4,000 vote detection
SO far as developed. Need it be
stated that the Raleigh CORES
pondents are paid according to
space?
Seriously, however, why
should any railroad employee
feel, as such, aresentment against
the democratic party? Many of
them have been in the service
long enough to remember the
first great step ever taken in the
state for their benefit when the
legislature, by democratic votes
and over the opposition of a pow
erful lobby supported almost to
a man by the republicans, enact
ed the "Fellow Servant Act"
the greatest blessing that railroad
employees can receive from legis-
Iation. That act, which makes
the railroads liable in damage for
injuries received through the
negligence of fellow employees,
IS today responsible for hundreds
of faithful railroad workers being
in comfortable circumstances in
stood Of Observation-Disclosures Cho~;t,,

But it is stated that the ques-
ton with the employees is one of
s1bread Fand meat" 1t is true
that they stated that the motive
that moved them to ask the re-
establishment of the old rates
was the fear of reductions in
wages. Yet is is but fair again
to suppose that these intelligent
railroad men are aware that the
reason for the depression in rail-
road securities and the falling off
in railroad receipts is but little
affected by the rate regulation in
any particular state. That plea
was attempted to be made by the
railroads and it was one of the
causes that precipitated the pam
ic, but it was not the cause of the
panic nor is it the cause the nee
essary railroad retrenchment at
this time. The panic was caused
by gambling. Because the gam
was on an extensive scale
legitimate interests needing cred
it suffered along with Legitimate
interests. But because the lail-
shown by the Harri-
man and other disclosures-were
I'D to their necks in gambling
they bore the brunt of the shock.
If the railroad employees will
look this question squarely in
the face from the standpoint of
political economy, they will see
that the legislature has nothing
to do directly with fixing the
price of wages. 1t has to do

'eryice are left independent and
.helr children are being educated
instead of put to an unequal bat
lie with the world. That is one
act OF democratic legislation speci
my directed to railroad men.
another is the act passed by the
present legislature, at its regular
session, limiting the hours of
tram crews and establishing,
where needed in the judgement
OF Corporation Commission, the
three trick day. for train dis
patchers and telegraphers. Both
OF these measures were urged by
railroad employees and were
granted by the democratic legis-
lature. They are two instances
OF many that might be cited
where the democrats have legis-
lated, not for railroad men as
such but for railroad men be-
cause it was realized that they
were subject to extra-hazardous
duty; and because it was recog-
nized that upon them depends
the safety ofthegreat body of the
travelling public. Could railroad
men expect more, and would the
party be worthy of their support
if 1t gave them more?
AS to the committee of raiIroad
men appearing before the recent
session of the legislature, they
came, according to themselves
and, according to the statement
of the railroads, upon their own
initiative. 1t was presumed by
the legislature, and it was doubt
less a correct presumption, that
they were appearing as citizens
of the state In the exercise of
their privilege of being heard by
the law makers on pending legis-
lation. They were granted every
courtesy, were given a full hear
ing and several of the things for
which they asked, and which
they explained, were granted
them. 1t is true that they asked
the legislature to do more even
than the railroads were asking it
to do-to put back the old rates.
Is is not manifest that this was
out of the question? And is it
not perfectly clear that railroad
employees, having expressed their
opinion, are not a class of men
with intelIectS small enough to
suppose that because their opin-
ion on one point differs from the
opinion of the legislature and of
the democratic convention, the
legislators are fools or anarchists?
The very suggestion that such is
the case will be laughed at by
the railroad employes-because
it is too ridiculous to be insult
ing.
But it is stated that the QueS-
ton with the employees is one of

that policy, the state passes
reasonable laws and the rail-
roads, by reason of stock water
ing and other harmful practices,
find themselves embarrassed it is
with the employees to see that the
retrenchment take place not in
wages which represent value re-
ceived but in securities that rep
resent the hopes of "hi9h

railroad employees, so far as DEM
ocratic legislatures might be said
to legiSlate for any particular
class, have received exception

the distribution of this latest cor-
respondential political fake, we
submit that we have never be-
fore heard questioned the ability
of the "B. l.. E." and the 80.
r. c." to take care of them
selves in the matter of wages.
In fact, when the rate matter
was first under discussion, we
think we remember to have
heard it plaintively repeated by
railroad officer after officer that
operating expenses were increas-
ing because employees were de-
handing increased wages, and
their demands could not be re-
fused. Whether the railroad
employees committee that ap-
peared in Raleigh was itself suf-
fering from the panic" we do
not know. We have, however,
thought it well to take the text
of a ridiculous political rumor to
suggest somewhat the funda-
mental relation between leeiSIa-
ton and labor as we think it will
appear to thoughtful men on both
sides of the economic equation.
Labor and capital must be pro-
teted, but neither must be SUBJ
sidized. A special privilege to
either is a burden upon the pub
lie, which also has rights.
