CHAMP CLARK's CHALLENGE

1t is fair challenge that Champ
Clark, the democratic leader of the
house, filings at Mr.. Taft. The presi-
dent has admitted in his speeches
that the tariff on wooden goods
should be reduced. Very well, says
the leader of the minority; send a
special message to congress demand
ing a reduction in the woollen sched-
ule, and if Chairman Payne will re-
port the bill the democrats will
offer no amendments.
That is fair proposition. 1t dis
poses of the plea that the excuses
of the Payne-Aldrich bill cannot be
corrected without opening up the
whole question of tariff revision
again. The woollen schedule which
Mr.. Taft himself refuses to defend
can be revised downward without
touching another rate in the tariff
act.
If Mr.. Taft is wise he will accept
Mr.. Clark's challenge and help give
the American people cheaper clothing
at once.-New York World.

RAILROADS AND THE TARIFF

The Taft administration is in
great haste to demand injunctions to
prevent railroads raising their rates,
but it's haste does not deceive any
body.
The one test of sincerity toward
the people of the United States is the
administration attitude on the tar
if
When Mr.. Aldrich signed the
Aldrich-Taft bill he put the peoples
faith in his regard for them to a
severe test. When he came out in
his famous Winona speech and de-
clared himself friend of Aldrich
and the money interests he finally
severed the tie that his tariff re-
vision pledges had wrought with the
west.
The railroads, in raising rates. are
doing only what the supreme court
permitted them to do, subject to re-
vision by the interstate commerce
commission.
Mr.. Taft and his lawyer cabinet
know this full we'll. Their eager
ness to enjoin railroads is not based
upon any hope of benefitting the
shippers. 1t is born of a desperate de-
sire to do something, anything, no
matter how reckless, to recover the
lost confidence of the people.
They forfeited popular favor by
espousing the cause of tariff barons,
and they seek to regain it by attack
ing railroads.
Just as they held party regularity
more sacred than party pledges to re-
= 49, al
ing party politics by seeking to pan
der to anti-railroad agitation, re
gardless of the commercial and
financial upheaval which persistence
in such policy must invite.
The administration cannot per.
suade itself back into public conf
dence by any such course.-Chicagc
Journal.

CAN'T LIVE ON POLITICS.
Newspapers Must be Maintained on
Business Principles, if at All.

One thing can be stated with a de-
gree of positiveness, which is that a
newspaper can not live decently on
it's politics. Suction pumps and
blisters will not bring sufficient reve-
hue to support modern newspaper.
If it is to be maintained at all, it
must be organized and pushed on
business principles. 1t cannot de-
pend on sense of duty. 1t must get
in line with the times. 1t must first
be newspaper; it must meet de-
mand. 1t must deal in what is want
ed, and if it is does not deal in what
is wanted it must go the way of
other business undertakings likewise
unfortunate.
There is nothing encouraging in
the outlook for the newspaper APP
pearing in public with a dead weight
on its back. Much will be forgiven
it if it represents it's own narrowness,
but as a mere organ for special in
terests in others pursuits it has
weak appeal to public confidence and
support. This much is inseparable
from modern newspapering.
Another thing is fairly we'll estab-
lished, which is that a newspaper
cannot live and flourish simply to
meet the desire of some one to be in
the newspaper business. 1t seems to
be that way in the grocery business.
The tendency is toward concentra-
ton and consolidation There is
much complaint because this is so,
but it is so.
1t takes money to make a news
paper worth having. The cost of the
newspaper to the reader is small; it
is the cheapest thing he buys. The
advertiser pays the freight. If the
advertiser balks, the fats in the fire.
The newspaper is by no means
alone in the business. The town that
does not advertise is a shrinking
town. 1t is town where the dry rot
has set in. 1t may not be wholly the
fault of the town. There may be no
profit in advertising simply as
means of supporting the newspaper.
When it comes to that the news
paper had better quit on the score of
self respect
The newspaper is an index to the
town. If the newspaper looks dull
it is likely the town is dull, and if
the contrary be true the newspaper
is curse to the town and an appeal
to the mob spirit.
100 many newspapers constitute
blight. The fact concerns the repu-
tation of the town and all it's bust
ness. In less conspicuous way it
may be the same as to lawyers and
doctors.-Sioux City Journal

THE RATE-MAKING PUZZLE.

When the supreme court shall fin
ally give it's decision on the question
directly at issue in the rate injunc-
ton case there will still remain in
teresting and delicate questions of
law that bear on rate-making which
in time will require adjudication.
Whether or not the 'Hosmer freight
tariff" is evidency of conspiracy
and the understanding through
which it was developed is com
bination in restraint of trade will
be decided, but there are other things
this case will leave undetermined.
We may have this peculiar situa
tion-that a course of action alto
gether lawful when followed for the
purpose of lowering rates would be
unlawful when it's object is to raise
them. For example, we in ST. Louis
are now working with might and
main to get the coal-hauling roads
which come to the east bank of the
Mississippi to agree together on a
question of rates. 1t has not even
been limited as yet that any one or
two roads will attempt to abolish
the river differential without the
rest. Now the outcome of such a
principle would be that since agree
ment to lower rates only is lawful,
and without agreement no change is
practicable, rates may at any time be
lowered, but never, no matter what
the conditions, be raised--Which is
absurd.
The existing situation is complex
for the reason that there is no recog-
nized scientific basis for rate-making.
Rates are made by rule of thumb,
and by that only The distance basis
has no warrant in the facts of cost of
operation. 1t is almost exactly the
same distance from Chicago to Kan
sas City by the Santa Fe as it is from
Denver to Grand junction by the Rio
Grande, but the cost of operation
through the Rocky Mountains is
more than twice that over the
prairies of Missouri and Illinois. So,
likewise, terminal cost receives no
recognition, though it is in many
cases of distances under hundred
miles much more than the cost of the
haul on the open road.
There exists an urgent necessity
of Federal supervision over railroad
rates; the general government has
been forced to it by the logic of
events. 1t will "muddle along" un-
til it adopts some reasonable econom-
ic basis for rate-making. The bar
gain and sale method of dealing in
has proven failure.
What better thing can be put in it's
Louis Republic.

WESTERN UNION rates
MAY SOON Be REDUCED

Railroad Commissioner ]. F.
Shaughnessy is in Reno today from
Carson, having come down yesterday
with Mrs. Shaughnessy to take in
the Merry Widow last night.
This morning when asked for a
statement concerning the action of
the Nevada Railroad Commission
at present he said:
eve are at the present time in
vestigating the rates of the Western
Union Telegraph c ompany within
this state. On April 1st we had
Superintendent A. H. May of the
Western Union before us in Carson
and he gave us much information
concerning the method of rate MAX
ing by his company and the reasons
for the present high rates of the
Western Union Company in this
state. We are now looking into
these reasons and will make a
general reduction of all telegraph
tolls within the state. eve believe
that the intrastate rates of the Wes-
tern Unoin are too high and intend
to see that they are reduced.
'Of course we do not know Just
how much the reduction will be as
yet, but there will be a reduction.
l do not believe the Western Union
will fight any attempt to make d
reduction, but of course, that
remains to be seen. Reno Gazette.

FABULOUS VALUES
DWINDLE TO S24.5O

j. L. Stafford, a mining man of
Wardner, Idaho, is in town today.
Leaving his home about the middle
of February in search of mining
properties, Mr.. Stafford visited
Jarbidge and made thorough in
spection of the camp. Being in the
market, he was shown over the
Bourne property as a prospective
purchaser. He found the tunnel in
for distance of 25 feet on 81 foot
stringer, and took several samples
of the rock to Salt Lake City, where
they were assayed by Bird, Cowan
& Co., showing values of $24.5O per
ton in gold and silver.
Mr.. Stafford concluded at this rate
the much-heralded "27,OOO,O 200 in
sight" would include the whole of
northern Nevada, so he concluded
to look over the remainder of the
field. Mr.. Safford's visit at this
time is for the purpose of inspect
ing a certain Humboldt county
the name of which he did
not care to disclose. Silver State.

DEPOS|TORS GET PART
OF THEIR MONEY BACK

At the failure of the Searchlight
Bank and Trust company last year
it looked like a total loss to the de-
positors and other who had any
connection with the failure. The
following from the Searchlight
Bulletin would indicate that the
receiver of the bank is doing some
good work:
Judge Brown has authorized
Receiver B. Macready of the Search
light Bank and Trust company to
gladden. the hearts of the depositors
with dividend of 10 per cent.
This disbursement will take place in
about four weeks time or as soon
as the period of legal publication
has been completed.
"Mr. Macready promises additional
dividends of 10 or Is per cent fol-
lowing the new term of court, six
months hence. Inability of the
receiver to act without the sanction
of the court made it impossible to
declare a large dividend at this
time"

BEAT OUT THE HILLS

Some days ago Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
the New York banking firm, transfer
red the bulky block of Rock Island
preferred shares formerly owned by
the defunct Pearson syndicate to the
Phelps-Dodge interests, says Francis
A. House in the Denver News. This
transfer should, think be considered
of great import to Colorado. 1t is
pregnant with the suggestion that the
Union Pacific interests are unostenta-
tiously endeavoring to extend their line
from Denver to the gulf.
The Rock Island would serve tnelr
purposes we'll, it affording convenient
connection at points in central Kansas.
Besides, by building a Union Pacif1c
branch line from, say, Kit Carson
Colo to Liberal, Kan, splendid con-
nection could be secured, over the
Rock Island, with Wichita, and thence,
over the same line, with Galveston and
That the Union Pacific will seek an
outlet to the gulf may be regarded as
practically a foregone conclusion. 1t
