ing car company's contracts, general
system Of charges and earnings revealed
annual dividends Of nearly $50, ,0O0, 900
from 1899 to 1908, inclusive.
The investigation showed that the
amount carried to surplus annually did
not fall far short of the annual divi-
dends Of Sper cent; that in 1898 cash
dividend Of 81, 200, 900 was paid out of
accumulated surplus; in 1899 special
stock dividend Of 30 per cent, amount
ing to SIS, 100000, was declared, and
in 1907 another Of SO per cent, amount
ing to $26, ,015, ,256, were divided Dur
ing a period Of eleven years $5l, 900, 900
in special cash aud stock dividends were
paid in addition to the general ones.
In 1898 the stock of the company vas
increased from S36, 100000 to $780,
100000, OF which $20,000,000 is ac-

large sections Of the remaining l ,156

now $50 dry cities in the United States
ranging in population from 175, 600
to 5000 each, and 200 Of these cities
have a population OF over 10, 900 each.
Nine whole States have outlawed the

The moral forces of the nation are

of liquordom have taken their last
stand 1t is around our cities that the
battle is raging in Tennessee to-day.
The liquor men consider this pivotal
State. Because the Governor and those
in power IN our State are with them
they believe they have better chance
to win here than elsewhere, and if they
win they think that they will turn back
the tide that has set in against them.
But they will not win. It was the
men from the rural districts who gave
us our laws. My faith and hope rests
on the men from the rural districts to
see that men are elected who will retain
and enforce them. The State is the
sovereign power No city is greater
than the State Or has right to put it.

The King Ranch.

The King Ranch is the most famous
ranch in the United States to-day. Con-
sidering the size Of this ranch, 400, 900
acres, ard the wonderful richness OF it's
soil, it is little wonder that this ranch
should be SO noted.
For months we have been searching
the Gulf Coast country Of Texas from
one end to the other in our endeayor to
find ranch suitable for subdiyiding in
to small tracts for truck gardening pur-
poses. The owners of the King Ranch,
after feeling sure that we would colonize
it, decided to sell us that part OF their
ranch known as the Parita Pasture, con-
sisting Of Is, 900 acres.
This pasture adjoins the land sur
rounding the town of Falfurrias, which
is the most wonderfully developed sec
ton in the entire Gulf Coast country.
The western edge Of our land is only
two miles from the Falfurrias depot.
This rich pasture is now subdivided into
small tracts from five acres up No
better truck and orange land is in Texas
to-day. An investigation will prove to
you that this land offers you an excep-
tional opportunity for investment.
For particulars apply at this office.

thing good.

LOWER PULLMAN RATE
Ordered by Commission in Certain
Instances.

Washington, April TO- The Inter
state Commerce Commission, in de-
cision to-day, holds it to be unjust and
unreasonable" for the Pullman Conn
pany to charge equally for the upper
md lower berths in its sleeping cars.
Differential charges are ordered in sew
eral instances, and Pullman rates from
Chicago to the Pacific Coast are ordered
reduced.
While this ruling Of the Commission
orders reductions in rates which were
specifically and formally complained of,
il is recognized as the opening wedge
for rcadiustment Of sleeping car rates
wherever they exceed the average which
the Commission has been found to be
Just and reasonable in these instances.
The Pullman Company, it is stated, will
carry the decision TO the courts.
The Commission ruled that the pres
ent Pullman rate OF $12 from St, Paul
to the Pacific Coast was too high, and
ordered it reduced to SO. The present
rate Of $12 for an upper berth is ordered
reduced to $3.50.
A short nights journey, the Commits
sion holds, should not carry rate OF
more than 81 so for lower berth, and
$l.10 for an upper. The rate OF 50
which the company has maintained from
st. Paul to Fargo, N. D., 242 miles, is
ordered reduced accordingly.
UPPER BERTH RATE.
The prevailing upper berth rate Of
$3.50 is reduced to s1.10 between st.
Paul and Superior, Wis, and the upper
berth rate between St. Paul and Grand
Forks is reduced from 50 to $1.50. The
rates prevailing are approved for lower
berths.
The report, written by Franklin X.
Lane, Commissioner, is brief, and does
not disclose the exhaustive examination

We Invite the Old Soldiers TO Write
Us Some War Stories

WHAT is the matter, that the old Vets have
quit fighting their battles over agian? Col.
G. N. Saussey is sending us some mighty good
material for the magazine, but we want a
number of short stories for the weekly paper.
Come along, Vets, and tell us about your war
experiences This invitation is not intended
for the ex-Confederates exclusively 1t is
meant for the Union Veterans also. We are
so liberal in the conduct of this paper and Of
our magazine that we even let the enemy fire
upon us in BOTH AS to me, I'd be perfectly
willing to publish story from that fellow
in Indiana man who calls General Lee
a traitor, and takes a fit every time that any
body talks about putting "Marse Roberts"
statue in Statuary Hall. Inasmuch as the
statue is already in History's Temple Of
Fame, it doesn't bother me the least bit wheth-
er it goes into that Washington Hall or not
consequently, [ consider such men as Camp
bell more amusing than otherwise.
So, by all means, let us have some anecdotes
of the war, some battle-stories from both
sides of the line

How the DeserterS Made Tool of
Congressman Tom Bell, and How
Champ Clark Came Near Being
Led into a Trap

CAN it be possible that the Hon. Champ
Clark, the leader of the Democratic minority,
loves the twenty-three Democratic Congress-
men who deserted his colors on the 18th day
of March, 1909? Can it be possible that he
ings of wrathful indignation?
Here is what happened, as will be seen by
reference to those portions of the Congress-
ional Record published elsewhere in this issue
of the paper. Mr. Taft, having repeatedly,
publicly and positively promised downward
revision of the tariff, convened Congress in
extra session for the purpose of redeeming his
campaign pledges. The big men of Big
Business realized the enormous Importance
of the extra session. Every trust which has
been fattening upon special privilege, at the
expense of the common people, pitched it's
camp in Washington. The heads of the
Steel Trust were on hand to see to it that their
power to rob should not be lessened. The

THE JEFFERSONIAN

Had there been no revision at all, the Ding
lev bill would have been left In force; and
while the Dingley bill is monstrosity of
class legislation, it did not plumber the masses
to anything like the same extent that the
Payne-Aldrich bill does.
Noc, qUhot aUds 1t that Tom Bell got Mr..
C1a1h to den0unce as AN INPUDENT
LIE?" It was a statement that Clark was
opposed to a revision of the tariff, and that
had his amendment been adopted there could
have been no tariff revision. Mr.. Clark aoas
made to believe that I had brought such q
charge against him.
The readers of the two ,JEFFERsoNIANs
know that nothing of the sort has been said
by me- 1t qCas Joe Cannon qoh0 made THAT
accusation against Clark. AS Mr. Clark had
been holly debating that point with Cannon,
1t qoas the easier for Tom Bell and the de-
Serters to deceive him. Clark was asked to
say, and did say, that his amendment of the
Rules was an entirely different proposition
from the revision of the tariff. Everybody
knew that already.
When the Atlanta Constitution and the Ma
con Telegraph first published Mr.. Clark's
statement concerning the "impudent ie'',
Immediately published challenge to Tom
Bell which reduced that marplot and would

challenged to get Champ Clark to demy that,
had his amendments been adopted, ace qoouzd
haze either had q d0acmooard revision Of the
tariff, or the Ding1ey bill aoouzd haze been
left IN force. OF COURSE, MR.. CLARK
CAN'T DENY THIS, NOR CAN ANY
ONE Else.
The indictment against the deserters stands
They are just as responsible for the increased
cost of living, just as responsible for the new
tariff law which the Republicans got, as y0w
a0ouzd be for the catch Of fish By the fisher
man to acb0m you had furnished rod, line,
sinker, hook and 60it
Lon Livingston, Bill Howard, Jim Griggs,
W. G. Brantley v0ted against Czarh, and,
therefore, made 1t impossible for the people
to get doacnaoard revision and relief from
tariff robbery. AS [ have said before, Cor
don Lee and Charles Edwards did not go over
to the Hannacrat Republicans until the next
vote, namely, the vote on the Fitzgerald
amendment, which left Cannonism in the
saddle.
The manner in which the county papers
which are supporting the Deserters jumped
at the Clark statement and began to mis-
represent the facts, shows that Tom Bell act
ed as tool of the crafty scoundrels who sold
us out on March Is, 1909.

Some of our regular agents. and many
of our volunteer agents. are accepting sub
scriptiOns to THE JEFFERSONIAN and to
WATSON'S MAGAZINE at less than the
published rates of dollar a year for
each, or 81 so for both.
This is strictly against our rules, and we
hereby notify all agents, friends and sub
scribers that any subscriptions which shall
hereafter be obtained for less than
regular published rates will be cancelled,
and the money returned.
We appreciate the efforts of our friends
to extend circulation, but they must
understand that by accepting subscriptions
at cut rates they are hurting u.s. not help
ing us; they are hindering the growth of
our circulation, instead of assisting it;
they cheapening publications and
work.
Whenever newspaper or magazine cuts
it's legitimate and published rates, it means
that it is going down hill Some of our
contemporaries i'm Georgia have been do
ing this very thing, until they have come
perilOusly near to violating the Postal
Laws and Regulations; in fact, some of
them have stepped the danger line,
and they are today being circulated in de-
fiance of the law. We are watching them
closely.
If our friends have our true interests at
heart, they will heed this warning.
