Automobile Regulation.

Another serious, If not fatal, auto

put a check on reckless auto driving.
It Is only fair, howevSr, to the city

lie doubtful whether amy ordinance es-
tablishing a general license system,
with forfeiture for violation of the
conditions of license issue, would hold
water.
Tho trouble is that our late demo.
cratic legislature last year enacted a
state law for the registration of motor
vehicles of statewide scope, contain
ing the following provision:
Cities and towns shall have no power
TO pass, enforce or maintain any ordi-
nance rule or regulation requiring OF any
owner or operator of a motor vehicle any
license or permit to use the public high
way. or exclude or prohibit any motor
vehicle whose owner has complied with
this law from the free uss OF such high
ways. and all such ordinances. rules and

The State Tinkets

The Bee has RETAINED up to this
time from commenting on the makeup
OF the state tickets put in nomination
at the recent primary for the very
good reason that It has not been GER
tain. and is not yet certain, who will
be tho opposing candidates.
On the republican side 1t is fully
demonstrated that the ticket will be
headed by Chester II. Aldrich, nomi-
mated for governor by a plurality OF
approximately $500 out Of total
vote greatly decreased by the dofec-
ton of the liberal republicans who
went over into the democratic primary
to vote for Dahlman.
On the democratic side Mayor Dahl
man has a small lead over Governor
Shallenberger. His margin is so mar
row that a recount or contest may yet
change the result.
II Mr.. Aldrich is to be pitted against
Mayor Dahlman the issue will be
sharply defined between wet and dry
and will have to be fought out on
those lines If Mr., Aldrich has Gov
ernor Shallenberger as his opponent
both OF them committed to sign q
county option bill If passed by the leg
islature, that issue will be RELOCATED
more to the respective senatorial and
legislative districts, and the fight fol
the gubernatorial ONCE will be waged
around other issues as we'll.
In either event victory or defeat
for Mr. Aldrich as head of the ticket
must turn on the measure of success
his campaign scores in winning bach
the support Of the liberal republicans
and in appealing to the democratic
and independent voters dissatisfied
with the personality or record of the
democratic candidate.

Growth of the New West.

The next ten years will certainly
show enormous growth in population
and development In natural and arti-
fetal resources of the new west, but
at the same time 1t will entail keener
competition than in the decade Just
closed. This will come to pass by
reason Of the quickened industry down
south and in Canada. The south, with
the application of northern enterprise,
has been fully awakened from its long
sleep and at last has come to realize
its own powers and possibilities. With
this awakening and realization has
come a determination to do things, so
that today a movement is on in the
south which promises big things in the
way of settling up the country, both
rural and urban.
But in these facts or conditions the
west need find no reason for discour-
agement. Keener competition never
warrants q depreciation of hope or
opportunity, but rather an enlarge
|
tions in Dixie more people Kill get in
the notion of looking about for new
homes and then there is Cansda and
its wonderful colonization movement
to offer additional incentive Alto
gether these things are likely to create
the greatest land-seeking campaign we
have had In many years and the new
west, with ell its magnificent resources
and advantages, some of which can
not possibly be matched either by
Canada or the south, will go into the
contest as q formidable competitor.
The new census does not show con-
clusively the population of the far
western cities, but anybody who has
kept up with the growth of them
knows they have all made large ad-
vances. Even San Francisco, in apite
of its appalling disaster of 1905, is a
larger and better city today than be-
fore the earthquake. The friendly
rivalry between Los Angeles and San
Francisco and between Portland and
Segttle has had a healthfuI influence
and while Los Angeles is nowhere near
as large as. San Francisco, nor Port
land up to Seattle, the claims and am
billions of the smaller cities help them
as we'll as the larger ones
And this spirit Of rivalry is rampant
all over the new west, east of the coast
through Idaho, Utah, eastern Wash
ington and Montana and Oregon, and
in all of these states good smaller
cities are being built up and built OF
solid foundations, on the foundation
OF eastern skill and experience, which
makes for substantial progress.

The Center Of Population.

Although comparatively Unimpor-
tant for practical uses, one of the by
products Of the federal census is the
determination of the center Of popu..
lation. The point cannot be located
until all the people have been counted
and allotted to their respective geo.
graphical subdivisions, because the
center of population il taken to be the
point of intersection of two lines, one
running east and west and the other
north and south, each having one-half
Of the people OF the country on either
side of It.
When the center of population was
located for the first time after the CEN
sus of 1890 had been compiled It WAS
found to be on the eastern shore of
Maryland and, like the star of empire,
II has each succeeding census taken
western course. In 1900 the center
OF population was eighteen miles west
OF Baltimore. The acquisition OF
Louisiana territory gave a southern
twist to it's itinerary between 1900 and
1890, after which It continued to move
nearly due west, with stopping points
from forty to eighty miles apart. By
1850 the center of population was
about twenty miles south of Chilli
cothe, o., whence IL Travelled on into
Indiana. sojourning last time near Co
lumbus, in that state, seventy miles
distant from the east line of Illinois.
The present census will probably dis
close some geographical rearrange-
ment OF the population center, but
hardly enough at most to take It out
of Indiana.
Whether the center of population
will ever reach the geographical center
of continental United States, which
would take 1t west of the Missouri
river, is open to serious question, be-
cause 1t would require q density of
habitation in the western half of the
country equal to that in the eastern
half, This is q contingency so remote
that 1t belongs to the realm of specu-
lRtion.

Chicago Tribune.
There is no question that the Interstate
Commerce commission is DESTROYS Of deal
ing with the difficult and vital problem Of
railroad freight rates thoroughly and con-
clusvely. To this end. therefore, the COM
mission will welcome all the aid It is pos
sible to bring to bear and to this end The
Tribune bees leave to make the following
suggestions:
Let the commission subpoena half dozen,
or better still. q dozen prominent railroad
supply men and the purchasing agents of
the leading railroads.
And, having thus secured the presence
and attention Of such supply men and pur-
chasing agents, let the commission ask why
1t Is possible-and polite or profitable-to
sell supplies to one road or system OF roads
at a very different rate lower or higher,
than to another road or system OF roads,
II the commission pursues this line OF
inquiry acutely and thoroughly, The Tri-
bune Is confident that discoveries will be
made not only legitimately interesting to
the public but highly instructive and help
full to the commission. The Tribune be-
lieves that these discoveries would be most
Illuminating as to the reason why during
the panic and the none too prosperous per-
Tod following certain railroads have been
able TO make excellent showings. while the
officers or representatives of other roads
or systems have been standing on the high
places prophesying disaster unless rates are
raised to offset increased expenses.
Possibly the members Of the commission
already have thought OF this phase Of the
situation. II they have we hope the
thought will not be sidetracked before the
inquiry. II It IL new one we trust 1t will
be considered and acted upon. for the re-
suit will repay.

DECISIONS IN INJURY CASES.

Chicago News.
In the latest Issue OF the bulletin OF the
federal bureau Of labor are reported a
number of court decisions relating to EN-
ployers' liability for injuries to their work
men. 1t Is significant that the recent tend
ency Of courts as well as OF legislatures Is
In the direction of minimizing the doctrines
of assumption OF risk and contrlbutory neg

These have operated for many years TO de-

damages for injuries sustained while at
their tasks.
one case reported is that OF George VAL
Jago against the Carnegie Steel company.
Valjago's arm had been drawn into a set
of cog wheels which were uncovered, con-
trary to the laws OF Pennsylvania. The
company admitted It's failure to comply
with the statute, but offered the defense
Of assumption OF risk, insisting that the
plaintiff had waived his rights under the
statute and so could recover nothing. The
supreme court OF Pennsylvania refused to
accept this defense as valid

damages, Notwithstanding negligence OF
tho defendant, however great, contributed
thereto" But the legislature Of that state
has declared by a law recently passed that
the injured workman may recover, notwith-
standing his own contributory negligence,
provided Il is shown that the negligence OF
the employer is greater than that OF the
workman, the question Of comparative neg
ligence being left to the decision OF the
jury. In the face of this law the lower
court took the case of Zeratsky from the
jury and ordered a verdict for the company.
The supreme court reversed this finding
and ordered a new trial, directing that the
facts be submitted to the jury.

How big is farm? The Agricultural de-
partment's answer TO this conundrum Is at
hand. and It appears that the average Is a
little more than 100 acres In the country as
whole. The smallest average acreage is
that Of the cornflelds Of Vermont-about
three acres. The largest average Is not to
be found. as might be supposed, in the
wheat fields OF Minnesota or Dakota nor in
the corn belt, but In California, where the
average farm runs up 70 l69 acres. The
valuation OF crops varies more than the
size Of the fields however. In Illinois the
average production OF an acre OF wheat is
tS4 and OF corn 500; in the south the aver
age for these two cereals is $50 and tz7 per
acre respectively. Intensive farming yields
more than extensive.
