Receipts this week have been the Iightest
OF any week this year, about 1000 head In
all. The feature in itself, makes the mar
ket very difficult 10 call at its true level
and the limited assortment makes It even
more difficult to correctly analyze. The
prices put on between 25c and Csc, the ad-
vance differing according TO quality.
Wooled lambs were good enough to make
Ss.25, only a dime below the highest price
ever paid on this market. During the re-
mainder of the week, values remained COM
paratively unchanged so that the total ad-
vance for the week is right around 35f50c.
Tn proportion Of feeding sheep marketed
during the last week was larger than usual,
but the demand for this class of stuff was
indifferent. Killers, as a rule. met with
quick sales.

WHERE SOCIALISM FAILS.

AS a cure for the ills of this
world, however, socialism proposes a
scheme-whether practical or not is
not here the question-based on a
change in the possession of material
wealth." says Professor J. Laurence
Laughlin in an Illuminating article on
Socialism Philosophy of Failure"
IN the May Scribner. THAT is" he
continues, will the spending of more
money directly lead to the improve
ment of character? All history, and
| the present conduct of our richer
classes, seem to show that greater
self-indulgence followed by weaken
ing fibre, with a lowered moral pur-
pose. are the inevitable results of un-
restrained expenditure. This holds
true, in spite of the theory that, by
equalizing the expenditure of all
classes, the poor would be elevated
in the moral scale by having more to
expend, and that the wrong doing of
the rich would be reduced by taking
away the power of self-indulgence. 1t
cannot be overlooked that human ma
ture is much the same in all classes.
Increased expenditure in itself will
not provide the character to govern
| INC SPSllulHS, 50 IHdL Sel1-lnQulRence
will be only transferred. Clearly, an
| increase Of material rewards-while
a gain to those already having a
moral sense-would give only wider
play to the existing defects of hu-
man nature. If spending is made pos
sible to those who have not earned it,
deterioration is inevitable. What we
should hope to see instituted is a
proper means of increasing the pro-
ductive efficiency of those who have
little. so that their opportunity for en-
lightenment may be larger without
the destruction of fibre.
1.-THE radical weakness of socialism
is in its attempt to coin ideaIism out
OF materialism. In the proposed
abolition of competition and private
property, socialism would take away
most of the present incentives to en-
envy and productivity. More than
that, it stakes everything on the as
sumption that partial change in
external environment-sucha as would
be produced only by the disappear
ance of competition and private prop
erty-would overcome all the faults
of human nature which now disturb
our social content

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

Although the tendency has been in
the last year or two for the legislatures
of most of the states to go light with
their law making on the subject of
railroad regulation, this method of pro-
cedure did not prevail to any great ex-
tent at the recent session of the Me-
braska legislature. Its members leg
islated for the railroads on no less than
nineteen different propositions. And
apparently there was no subject too
small or too large in the nature Of rail-
road regulation for the Nebraska
solons to handle.
Laws were passed by them relating
to such things as the providing of
freight cabooses with toilet rooms: the
cutting of weeds along the railroad
right of way; prohibiting the drinking
of liquor on trains; allowing the is
suance of passes to widows and or
phans of former railroad employees;
compelling railroads to furnish their
patrons with telephone service, pre-
sumably at stations; as we'll as on the
larger topics of establishing maximum
rates for oil; regulating the issuance
of stocks and bonds by the companies;
providing for the physical valuation OF
railroad property; and on variety OF
other matters
Possibly all of this legislation was
needed in the state Of Nebraska for q
proper regulation OF the railroads II
is generally admitted that the public
through state and federal agencies
should regulate certain railroad activ-
tiles in a proper manner Even the big
railroad men of the country admit this
But the conviction has been growing
l for some time that a legislature Is
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-04-21

really poor medium for providing for
this regulation except in fundamental
way. 1t is matter that properly be-
longs as far as a state is concerned in
the hands of state commission built
on the plans and clothed with the au-
thority of the public service commits
sions of New York and Wisconsin
which have worked, since their crea-
ton, in such an admirable fashion in
the interests of the people and also in
the interests of the railroads, and other
public service corporations. Most of
the states in the Union have railroad
commissions but they have been con-
structed in deficient ways and the real
authority they possess does not amount
to much
In the very nature of things a legiss
lature is not fitted to handle many of
the minute questions relative to rail-
road regulation in an equitable manner.
Its members have not the time to study
the questions as they should be looked
into. They are prone to arrive at
hasty conclusions and the result is
much railroad legislation that is ILL
timed, to say the least. With a state
board that is properly constructed and
vested with ample authority the condi-
tons are exactly reversed. And this
question of railroad regulation will
never be handled in the best possible
way by the states until they equip
themselves with such boards or COM
missions. With the present hit or miss
methods necessitating legislative action
on every little and big railroad ques-
ton, not much is going to be accom-
plished for the railroad companies have
expert attorneys who are never at a
loss to find way to make most of such
legislation ineffective.

THE ARMY.

An unusual condition prevails in the
army of the United States. For the
first time since the Spanish-American
war it is recruited up to it's full
strength in all of it's branches, which
makes an armed force of soldiery OF
| 1900 men. Orders have gone forth
from the adjutant general Of the army
ordering recruiting officers throughout
the country to confine themselves until
further notice to the re-enlistment of
honorably discharged soldiers
In some quarters It Is believed that
the wonderfully increased enlistment of
late, which has brought the army up
to its full quota in times of peace, has
been due to the hard times which have
prevailed in many sections of the coun-
try during the past Is months or SO.
This is a most natural conclusion. It
Is denied in part, however, by army Of
ficers. They are willing to admit that
many men undoubtedly fell into the
ranks as a result of the lack of en-
ployment which was incident to the
latest financial depression, but they in
sist that majority of the new re-
cruits are young men who have gone
Into the army as means of providing
careers for themselves. AS a substanti-
alton of this fact the army officers
point out that many applicants for en-
llstment were rejected during the past
Is months and that most OF these who
failed to get into the army were re-
fused by officers in charge OF the re-
cruiting stations because the applicants
admitted that they were men who could
get nothing else to do.
The records show that many of the
new recruits are mechanics, some are
engineers, others are from commercial
pursuits, while a goodly number are
stenographers and clerks. Army off,
GERS state that they are getting rid of
all undesirable men in the service as
fast as possible, so as to make room
for young men who are known to be of
good character and who are anxious to
enter the army for a long actual ser
vice because of the benefits which will
accrue to them from such a service.
All of this goes to show that before
long the standing army of the United
States Will be a most efficient force
and the best possible nucleus around
which to build an admirable and effec-
tive war machine of large proportions
and in the speediest possible way. in
the event that one should be necessary.
