A LONDON FOG STORY.
(St Louis GIobe-Democrat.)


Hudson Maxim, at a recent banquet, re-
ferred to the fogs of London
In one OF the worst fogs in LONDON,
said the inventor, an old friend of mine
tried to find his way from trafalgar
square TO the Savoy, where he had an en-
gagement to dine
THE sulphurous air made the eyes
smart and the head ache, and 1t brought
on terrific fits of coughing. You could
not literally see your hand before your
face. There was a continual crashing IN
of windows; bells tangled; vehicles and
foot passengers cOllided; shrieks and
Oaths arose.
Threading his way in the midst OF
this pandemonium, through the Strand,
as he supposed from Landseer's lions 70
the waiting dinner at the Savoy, my old
friend, 10 his great bewilderment, soon
found himself descending broad stair
way He put out his hand to the balus-
trade Yes q broad and stately stair
way, with a rail of carved stone Amaz-
ing.
Suddenly in his descent ny friend col
lided with some one ascending the stair
way.
'Hullor' he said.
'HullO" a gruff voice replied.
Can you tell me- said my friend,
where 1 am going%
Certainly said the other If YOU
keep straight on you will walk into the
Thames for I've just come out of 1t.

THE GALVESTON PLAN.

DR.. Charles W. Eliot, who has just
retired from the presidency of Harvard
university, has recently visited Calves
ton. Tex, and warmly commends the
plan of municipal government put into
force in the Gulf city. In an address at
Galveston the other night DR.. Eliot
said: ''The great lesson that Galveston
has given to the country is the conduct
Of the city's business after business
principles. getting a dollars worth for
every dollar expended, and a days
work for the pay given. 1t is a lesson
of banishing crookedness. rake-offs,
cheats and fraud of every nature, sine
cures. men who draw pay for no ser
vice rendered. In short, the city's bus
mess is run as a private business would
be run
Strong testimony from the leading
educator and one of the most profound
thinkers in the world today. Yet the
members of 1.-The best legislature Utah
ever had profess to know better.
within the last two years. said Dr.
Eliot. there has been an increase in
the discussion as to the best means of
municipal reform. for it has become a
recognized fact that this is the point
at which American free Institutions
have met with their most disastrous
failure. Foreign observers upon visits
here have pointed out that the failure
to provide our cities with honest and
efficient government has become the
most serious stain on American history
in the last fifty years. 1t was therefore
a welcome experiment set on foot hero
nine years ago. I have studied thu
Galveston city charter, as we'll as the
charters of other Texas cities that have
tried. the commission form, and then /
have studied the Iowa modification,
and last August I visited Iowa TO see
how they have worked II out there.
Thus far in Massachusetts, I have adj
vocated the plan. and am glad TO say
that within the last year or two three
cities have succeeded in getting char
ters and are now experiencing the ben
efits of the change. And still the dis
cussion RACES, on one side there being
principally the political machines,
which invariably oppose the plan, on
the other being citizens who realize the
vast Importance of reform along this
line"
The distinguished scholar and pub
licist could not fail to observe that the
political machines were ranged on the
side of the plunGerers. Consequently,
under the present system. the state po-
iiticai organizations control municipal
affairs through the leading parties. and
men who are untitled in every way are
foisted upon long-suffering public. II
is only a matter of time. however be-
fore the citizens of the cities viii

ting their moneys worth and insist
upon q change. Speed the day

Two.ceNT FARE DECISION.

Judge McPherson's decision in the
case Of the state of Missouri against
the railroads of the state is most i'm
portant in its bearing on legislation
fixing maximum freight and. passenger
rates on state business The decision
is the more significant because * is
based on an experimental test Of the
workings of a 2-cent passenger rate
within the state of Missouri covering
the period from June H. 1907. UP to the
present. The facts secured by this
means covered all the data necessary
for an exhaustive examination of the
case OH its merits. The railroad prop
critics were valued, the earnings and
expenses of state traffic. the distribu-
ton of earnings as between state and
Interstate business we're all presented
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-03-10

by experts for both sides. and the facts
are made part of the courts findings
Simply stated, Judge Mcpherson finds
that the 2-cent rate is eonfiscatory, re-
turning in some cases no net income at
all. and in no case more than 3 per
cent on the value of the property with
in the state. The court holds the law
invalid and suggests that if t were a
court act he would fix passenger rates
at 25s cents per mile for the strong
roads and cents for the weak ones.
The state authorities do not accept
the decision without protest and say
they will appeal to the supreme court
of the United States. Their contention
is that the court errs in its method of
distributing the cost of operation as
between state and interstate traffic.
The chief point of the decision as af-
fecting legislation in other states is the
proof that in a thickIy settled state like
Missouri, with a very heavy proportion
of state passenger traffic. with cheap
fuel and pToportionately cheap operat-
ing costs in every department, 2 cents
per mile does not pay a fair return on
the investment honestly valued. The
proof supports the common sense of the
Wisconsin railroad commission and Of
Governor Hughes of New York in re-
fusing to approve a compulsory 2-cent
fare; and it shows further the injustice
as well as the folly of enacting such
laws without first knowing the facts,
on which alone just laws should be
founded.
Aside from the main points some de-
auctions of great interest were brought
out. One of the claims of the 2-cent
advocates has been that a low fare
would stimulate traffic so as to make it
profitable at the low rate. Missouri's
test, covering nearly two years, showed
that the increase of traffic from low
fares amounted TO less than 1 per cent;
it showed, too, that a law applying the
same rate to all roads is unfair be-
cause in some cases the result showed
an actual deficit for roads unfavOrably
situated for local and state traffic,
while in no case did it exceed per
cent
Judge Mcpherson thinks 6 per cent
would be a fair return on the capital
invested, but the dispatches do not say
whether this per cent is net after pro-
vision for depreciation and other Incl
dental costs apart from regular operat-
ing expenses and fixed charges. Six
per cent. year in and year out, is not a
large return on ordinary ventures; and
S per cent as a maximum in any year
might easily average a ridicuiously
smaiT return over a period of years.
In any event, this experiment and the
decision based upon its facts, ought to
settle definitely the absurdity of the de-
mand for a 2-cent rate, no matter what
the traffic conditions, the cost of ope-
rating or the risk involved in a large
investment When Missouri cannot
give legitimate returns on a 2-cent
basis there is no hope of maintaining
such a rate pToftably in the states
further west with their small popula-
ton and light state traffic.

A SENSIBLE MEASURE.

One OF the best practical measures
before the Legislature was killed in the
house yesterday, probably under mis-
apprehension as to its purpose. The
bill was one introduced by Senator
Benner Y. Smith requiring assignments
of wages by employees to be approved
by employers before they become valid.
The object is TO prevent the foolish as
signments now made to loan sharks at
exorbitant rates of interest and to pro-
tect the employee, who usually does not
understand how completely he is de-
livering himself into the hands of the
loan agent when he signs the usurious
document. 1t is a good bill. it would
do much to abolish the wrongs of the
salary loan business, and 1t cannot
possibly interfere with the collection of
legitimate claims. 1t is hoped the
measure will be reconsidered and
adopted on its merits.
