IT is matter of the greatest regret
that the House Committee on Inter
state Commerce has given up for the
present efforts TO secure legislation
along these lines, while the Senate
committee has recently issued as a com

such advanced legislation. 1t seems
that the whole fight for interstate com

CLEMENTS ON NEED OF RAIL
WAY LEGISLATION.

Judson {. Clements, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner, short time ago
delivered an address before the Atlanta
freight bureau. in which he outlined
the reasons which had appealed to him
for urging more legislation to strength
en- the hand of Government in dealing
with the various questions Of interstate
commerce.
Mr. Clements demands that three
important amendments Of the present
law be made early. They arc:
Giving the power 10 prevent any in
crease of rates till it can be fully in
yestigatcd by the commission and found
5ustifsbIe
Second, a grant Of power to control
capitalization.
Third, making without delay q ply
steal valuation OF the railroads
Mr. Clements used some striking fig
ures to enforce his points. Demanding
control of capital issues, he said that in
ten years the bonded debts Of the rail
$4,000 per mile; that is, n total for the
country of about one and Cne-half bill
lions OF dollars. This does not include
stock ISSUES: it simply means that the
mterest-b bearing bonds have increased
$4,000 per mile for the whole national
system What this means in the way
OF burden upon the business Of the ma
tion may be gathered from Judge
Clements illustration that it j. near
twice the national debt, and almost a
much as the total of city and State
debts Of the entire nation.
Admitting that control Of capitalize

control presupposes a valuation Of the
properties He would have this valua

A GREAT DEAL OF FLUB IN
ALL THIS ALLEY TALK?

What about these alleys OF Washing
Ton we hear so much about? Isn't
there a great deal of fub in all this
talk? Are Washington's back streets
SO much worse than those of other
cities2
Some such questions rs these have
urged themselves on every reader OF
this newspaper in the course OF the past
five wears. Well, the answer is easy to
obtain now. 1t has the form of the
very remarkable book noted IN tins
newspapers reviews OF today: Neg
lected Neighbors," by Charles f. Weller.
Whoever will give the time to glance
through that volume, if only TO let his
eve fall on its illustrations, viii find
his doubts answered. Washington al
leys may not be the worst IN the
world: but they are here shown TO be
so bad as to menace the life in the fair
streets all about them and handicap
the next generation with preventable
crime and disease.
The high death rates among infants
sind little children In Washington,
reads one paragraph, ARE made CON
crete and human by typical instances
in Average alley. Mollie Jarvis has
borne eight children and lost seven
Mrs. Harris has lost eight out of ten
the Green family five out of eight; Mrs
Hilton six out OF eight; Mrs. Lawrence
four out of SIX; Mrs. Bright didn't
know how many she had lost. The
three months old, fatherless baby whose
mother leaves it liz the care Of Elsie
Ransom is treated on the principle that
sunlight and fresh air are injurious
On each successive call the visitor finds
that the infants waxen color is en-
HANGED and its stick-like arms more

Here is only one aspect OF the alley
problem. But what are we going to dc
about this phase OF it slone2 Just
look or and sigh? Hardly. We arc
going TO correct it as far as we can
And the first step is to realize, by sucl
helps as this book, that there is not "a
great deal Of fub in all this talk" but
that its justification is TO be had il
sickening abundance in tuberculosis
and immortality, in idleness and retro
Cression, in child criminals and littl,

THE BOSTON AND NAMES
NEW PENSION PLAN.

A unique feature in the Boston and
Maine railroads pension plan Is the co
operative nature Of the proposition.
All the other railroad pension systems
are financed and supported by the
roads themselves, the single exception
being the Grand Trunk road OF Canada,
which has a system requiring the CON
tribution OF two and one-haif per cent
of the employees salary. this sum being
added to a similar amount appropriated
by the road itself
A typical e ample of the old-foshion-
ed system may be found in the Penn
sylvania road. This plan, adopted nine
years ago, provides that the company
shall furnish all the pension money re-
quired and also the funds needed for
the conduct of the pension department.
In 1907, the last year covered by the
report at hand, the Pennsylvania pen
sion sppropria ton amounted TO $780,,
600.
However, in several sections Of the
country there is growing tendency TO
promote pension systems supported by
the employees themselves. The most re-
markable outgrowth OF this idea is the
Massachusetts savings banks insurance
and annuity law, which mas a tendency
to promote industry and thrift, and
which, if generally taken advantage Of,
as it undoubtedly viii be, must prove a
great power for good in the State. The
recent discussion of the subject of pen
sions. invited by the United States
Civil Service Retirement Associa tion
resulted in the approval OF the PROPOSE
ton that in any general Government
pension plan the funds required for
the payment of the annuities should be
furnished by the employees themselves.
the Government acting as trustee and
seeing that the provisions of the bill
are faithfully carried out
A pension system based on indirect
contributions from the general public
Is, except in certain eases, open to con-
siderable objection. On the other hand
the pensioner who retires to enjoy the
fruits of his own economy and faithful
service is not only Justly rewarded il
| his own estimation but is teaching the
rising generation the ease with which
self-respeeting independence can be at
| tanned.

fact relative 10 :he first publication Of

three years 20. This was before the
days Of international copyright. when
the edition was exposed to the Compe-

BY ALL MEANS INVESTIGATE

Senator Gallinger Is on the right
track. The thing to do is to find out
about the District government There
has been loose talk enough. Congress
should get at the facts.
Then certain Congressman should be
made either to read the facts when
they are brought TO light or not to

truth of the matter is that there prob
