Only the Railroads

Why is it that only the railroads, of
all the public service corporations,
plead the cost of high living, high wages
and overproduction of gold as excuses
for increasing their rates and fares?
Street railways are not charging each
passenger six cents; the tendency is to
extend their lines and give a longer ride
for the money. The subway will carry
any one sixteen miles for a nickel.
The Consolidated Gas Company was
compelled to reduce its rate from $1.00
a thousand to 80 cents, yet it seems to
be making money; Its stock is quoted
at 1876.
Telephone companies are not raising
tolls but tend to decrease them. Water
companies rates are being lowered by
legislative acts which are sustained, as
in the Nashville case, by the Supreme
Court on The ground that the o rate
yields a fair profit. The chief telegraph
company has recently begun sending
fifty. word night letters at ten-word day
rate. Electric lighting and power COM
panies offer alluring rates for special
industrial purposes to increase their
business. In all these industries the
rule is that large business cheapens
production.
Why are the railroads alone pleading
for higher rates? In increasing by 1874
per cent. since 189S the dividends upon
their stocks. which in many cases are
VIGOROUSLY of a speculative nature, have
they too generously '~'discOunted the
future"? If they have, why should the
rest of the country pay for their blum
derp-WOrld.

\ President Taft is leading q move
ment-though from behind the scenes
to defeat Senator Robert N. LaFollette,
Of Wisconsin. LaFollette having been
the original insurgsnt, and having given
Del battle to Senator Aldrich and
other friends of Taft, who endeavor to
legislate solely for tile benefit OF the
special interests, his political death has
been decreed. Mr.. LaFellette and other
progressive Republicans should be killed
off, because all the principles they ad'
vocate have been stolen from the Popu-
lists ard Bryan democracy, principles
which were hooted down and decried as
being socialistic when first brought
forth for public discussion. The pro-
gressive principles are all right, but
they are not good later day Republican
principles.

Gov. Judson Harmon temporarily laid
aside his official duties as chief execu-
tive of the State of Ohio last week and
appeared as chief counsel OF the Chesa'
peake & Ohio Railway Company in the
suit fol So, SOC, 900 against the Thomas
Nickel estate, over which the company
had built a spur line, and took coal.
Mr.. Harmon is the democratic Cover
nor Of Ohio and sometimes spoken OF
as candidate for President. His acting
as chief counsellor for a railroad corpor-
alton makes him an inappropriate DEM
ocrat to represent the people. He is too
much tarred with the Grover Cleveland
pitch, in whose cabinet he served.

GIBRALTAR ILLUMINATED.
Worlds Highest Electric Sign Erected
by the Prudential.

The Prudential Insurance Company of
America, with Home Offices at Newark, N.
j., has made another big advertising hit
opposite New York City a great electric sign
who put up the sign say that it is the
highest electric sign in the world. The
sign operates automatically and in addi-
tion to flashing the Rock, flashes the COM
pany's trademark, "The Prudential Has
Gibraltar" The sign is on top of the new
Terminal Building at Hoboken, and the
top OF the Rock is nearly 200 feet above
ground. Six miles of wire were used in
connecting the lights. The letters form
ing the word ''prudential' are ten feet
high. 1t takes enough electricity to light
the Rock to equal the pulling power of 100
horses. The sign is built to withstand a
wind pressure of $50 tons, and three
thousands electric lamps are used. The
current would light all the streets of Bay
onne, N. j.
Below the Rock an automatic electric
talking sign changes constantly, and on it
appears forty-eight statements regarding
The Prudential.
The sign wa built for The Prudential
from plans drawn by F. r. Koenigsberger,
a New York architect. One of the expert
craftsmen of the Electric Carriage Call and
Speciality Company of New York, which
erected the sign, made a close study of the
topography of Gibraltar in order to give a
correct delineation of the Rock. The sign
displaced SO that it is visible to persons On
the river, and from a large part of New
York City. 1t can also be seen from Ho-
boken exit of the Hudson tunnel, Jersey
City, Brooklyn, Staten Island and New
York City. -
The Prudential's "Gibralter'' is now
one of the most striking objects in New
York Harbor at night and people visiting
the Metropolis will look for it.
An official of the Company said: "The
Prudential could notl illuminate the real
rock of Gibraltar, and it has built this cleo
trie rock on the shores of New Jersey as a
beacon light to those looking for life in
surance protection for their families that
will not worry them after the issue Of pol
icy and that is sold at a cost so Interestingly
low that it caused The Prudential to make
greater strides last year than any other
Life Insurance Company1n the world.

courty Road Improvement

The figures presented by County Col
lector James Butcher to the Board OF
Freeholders at their last meeting, show
ing amounts expended for road improve
ments in Salem, are interesting to the
taxpayers.
The controversy over allowing Woods
town a small distance from the bridge
to the present county read is worthy OF
further consideration. The improve
nent is of more material benefit to the
farmers in Pilesgrove township, who
have heavy loads to haul to and from
the railroad station, than it is to the
ornamental benefit Of Woodstown bor-
ough.
The heavy hauling in Penn's Grove
borough by the farmers in the township
wear out the roads nor than do the
Inhabitants of the borough. We pre-
sumo it is the case in Woodstown and
Elmer boroughs and largely SO in Salem
City.
AS Salem pays for improved roads in
other parts of the county it seems just
for Salem to receive as much from the
county per mile of improved roads or
streets as the townst Ups receive for Or
binary roads. 1t is also just for borrowings
to receive similar amounts from the
county for improved roads. Salem City
and all the borsughs should be assisted
the same as the townships for ordinary
roads.
When the city or borough wants an
extraordinary road, beyond what are
built in the townships, The city or bor-
ough should pay that extra expense.
The Board of Freeholders did the ex-
traordinary act in %sanct.oning the extra
ordinay bitulithic road in Woodstown
and was not just in helping Salem. 1t
is not too late for the Board to correct
that.
1t takes about 500 a mile a year to
keep the improved roads in repair. l
see no injustice in Salem City, as well
az the boroughs, receiving the amounts
necessary to keep the ordinary State
roads in repair.
AS all are taxed alike, all should be
treated alike In the distribution of these
taxes. Equal rights to all, special
privileges to none should be followed in
local as well in county, State and ma
tional affairs.

ALL TOGETHER.

The prospects for the advancement Mt
of the town of Nezperce are brighter
this year than ever before in its his
tory and careful, conservative and
united action on the part of all its
citizens who have the interest of the
town and country at heart, there
should be substantial growth Of the
town this year, and an advancement
OF this entire section of the prairie.
But to make the advancement that
should be made, it will be necessary
for all to work together, and if every-
thing does not just suit you, stop and
think that you may be wrong instead
of the other fellow. Every good cit
izen should be willing to sacrifice his
own individual opinion on a business
question if an almost unanimous
opinion is against him, as the indi-
vidual is much more apt to be in the
wrong than the entire community. |
All factional disturbances both in the |
town and county should be cast aside
as these are a detriment and bring
forth no good and usually great
deal of HARM The town, this sect
ion and the entire county have been
hampered and the progress in devel-
opment stopped or delayed on account
of these disturbances. The people
should be able to see this by this |
time and quit wrangling, and work
in harmony. Especially is this true
with different section of the county.
Il this is done the results viii be
much better and all will profit by
'uch work. Try this once and see
f you are not better off at the end
# the year, and We are sure the ,
'ther fellow will entertain a more /,
riendly feeling toward you if he is a !
nan, and if he is not a man, you Il
iced not worry. X

Synopsis Of Message

! Following are the salians point
in the special conservation message
which President Taft sent to con-
ress on the 18th:
Congress should sanction $780,
900, 600 bond issue, complete prom
ised reclamation projects in the west
and keep faith with the settlers.
Conservation of the soils should
be cared for with all the means at
the governments command, and
states should aid.
Lands should be classified as to
values and the right to mine should
be separated from the title to the
surface.
Coal and other mineral could be
disposed of by lease on royalty
basis, with proper restrictions
against monopolies. Such laws
should apply to Alaska as well as the
United States.
Anticipated land laws should be
amended and brought to date.
The "open river" should be re-
rived. Congress might begin with
an appropriation of sos, 100000 to
make dams in the Ohio above Cairo,
[ll., and provide navigable water
he year around
Forests should be jealously guard
d and fostered and economy in the
ut should be guarded. States must |
provide means to check waste by
private owners.
Water power sites must be kept /
mt of the hands of combinations,
ong-time leases under proper re-
friction might give private capital
aore freedrm.
