RAILROAD REGULATION

As a result of sknlful campaign
II ing by the gray wolves of
AA the corporation-p political machine
which interferes with the free play of
civic and political influences in Cali
fornia, the railroad regulation law was
interfered with to an extent that leaves
the state not much better off than
it was before the remedial legisla-
ton was introduced. The work of put
ting an effective railroad regulation
law on the statute books, which was
begun at the session of 1909, remains
to be completed by the legislation Of
1911.
The anti-machine element lahored
for the passage of railroad
regulation law providing for; THE
physical valuation Of railroad proper
ties within the state, as a basis for
fixing equitable railroad rates. 2-The
employment of experts by the state
board of railroad commissioners to as
sist that body in the work of solving
the difficult problems with which in the
effective discharge of their duty they
would be called upon to deal. The pro-
vision of such experts will take the
commissioners out of the ornamental
or desuetudinous class, and make them
usedul--or at least deprive them of
further excuse for being useless.
3-Fixing adequate penalties Of fine
AND imprisonment for the violators
of the rules and regulations govern
ing common carriers.
4-Making the prosecution of such Of
Tenders comparatively easy by auth
orizng the district attorneys of the
various counties to institute suits.
5-Providing the equipment (such as
blanks for elicitng information under
oath, otc) which would enable the
state board of railroad commissioners
to secure the necessary data regarding
common carriers within the state
without which data they are unable to
act intelligently or effectively. 6-Rea-
sonable freight classification, Z
Abatement Of the pass giving abuse
S-Authority for the state board of
commissioners to make rules govern
ing demurrage, changes, etc.
9-Rules making it impossible for a
common carrier to advance rates with
out first applying to the state board
of railroad commissioners. 10-That
common carrier wishing to dispute an
order or rule of the state board of
commissioners must become plaintiff
to establish it's contention. Ito en-
power the state board Of railroad com
missioners in the event of a dispute
over rates, to fix an absolute rate,
from which the common carrier with
out consent of the railroad commits
sioners may not depart.
By adroit, unscrupulous and unde-
niably clever actics, the machine pre-
vented the passage Of a patriotic bill
containing these provisions, and thus
temporarily thWarted the will of the
overwhelming majority Of the people
of the state Of California.

SAYS ONLY FREE DISCUSSION
CAN SAVE US FROM TROUBLE

REDLANDS, March 29.-[Editor Her.
ald]: / think we should all welcome
the appearance of such letters as that
by NJ. b. Hemingway, calling our at
tention to the need of getting down to
bottom principles, and reminding us
that the public opinion of this country
is very deficient in grasp of economics,
as compared with that in Europe. The
unfortunate fact is that those who real
ly run the country have their noses
buried in their ledgers and know moth
ing beyond the details of their own
business. 1t was this no doubt that
made De Tocqueville speak of the busi-
ness men of this country as "the worst
rulers mankind has ever had" while it
is significant that Carlyle and Herbert
Spencer, both of whom thought the flu
ture stormy, said the United States
would be the first to "shoot Niagara"
as the former expressed it.
We don't want to go over Niagara,
but we shall if the business men, who
are the ones really responsible go on
as they have been going, consulting
only their individual pockets, and ig-
noring the tangle into which things are
getting. We have got to educate them,
and probably the first thing Is to make
them see that true education on eco
nOmCs must be encouraged.
This brings one directly to the all
important question of free speech,
which is being suppressed, at the in
stance of these same business men, in
an unspeakably shameful way. And
without really free speech, such as is
the rule in England, for example,
where open-air meetings and the ex-
preston Of even the most revolutionary
thoughts are favored by the authori
ties the education of the public is i'm
possible. We are justified in warning
the business men that if these princi-
Dles. which are pressing so urgently
for solution, are left to be fought out
between ignorant change and ignorant

QUICK WORK BY MOORE
Knocks Out Broad in Third
Round of Fast Bout.

| Teddy Broad. of England. known as
! Young SNOWFALL" melted away before the
! furious oEslaughts of PAL Moore, the
! philadelphia Phantom" and was knocked
| out with right hook TO the jaw IN the
| third round of what was scheduled to be
a ten-round bout at the National Sporting
Club of America last night
Moore was sh h-htly shorter in height
than Broad. but had the advantage of fully
ten pounds in weight
The bout. despite its brevity, was brinl-
full of action. The boys agreed to box
under straight Marquis of Queensbury
rules. protecting themselves at all times.
and never for an instant did either slacken
the furious pace.
Broad. in a measure. justified the claims
of his managers. and for few minutes
more than held his own. He set sail for
Moore in the first round and beat the
Quaker City lad all over the ring, draw
ing blood from his mouth with a well di-
rected left jab and opening a long cash
under his left ear with a slashins right
hook.
Moore soon realized that his strength Law
in clever boxing, and he resorted TO it in
the second round He soon discovered that
the Briton could not stop his left jab. PAP
kept his left going like triphammer. and
soon had ''Snowball'' in distress. This
marked the beginning of the end. AS his
rival became ratified. Moore became calm
as an iceberg. He boxed with all the mas
terly skill that has marked his battles. and
never made a false motion. He solved the
Briton's overland right and shot home his
short right jolts to the head He beat
Broad to the punch and made him miss
time and again.
a right cross put Broad on the ropes in
the second round. but the bell saved him.
In the third round Moore rushed and
planted two rights to the body Broad
rushed. but ran into a left jolt to the chin
that floored him. He rushed to a clinch to
clear his head. PAL shook him of and
feinting with his left. shot over his right.

with road run late this afternoon. He
donned the boxing gloves for the first time
here this morning, but there was scarcely
a blow struc.i in the five rounds spared
with Armstrong and his brother Jack, as
fast footwork on the slippery floor of the
platform was thought dangerous.
In the final round with Jack Jeffries. he
invited him to swing to the jaw just as
hard as he could. The big fellow protruded
his chin and Jack tried two lusty right
swings. both OF which bounced off Jeffries's
face without having the slightest effect.
On the third try Jeffries ducked, and the
punch landed over his left eye, which is
likely to be trife discolored tomorrow.
A fistic encounter between Tex Rickard
and Sid Hester in the lobby of a hotel was
prevented by friends of the two men to-
night. Rickard had made a pass at Hes
ter, knocking off the latter's hat and
glasses, when friends separated them.
