How to Beat the POrkers.

Senator Burton, the recognized au-
thority upon waterway transpOrta-
| ton, who has made a life study, not
alone of American, but also of Euro
pean rivers and harbors, and who led
the fight on the last 'Pork-BarreP'
appropriation, has offered two sug-
ways from unfair railroad competi-
ton.
The first is that the interstate
commerce commission shall be given
the power to fix minimum railroad
rates where water competition exists,
in the same manner as they now have
the power to determine maximum
rates. An analogous system prevails
in France where the railroads are
compelled to charge 20 per cent more
than boat lines for transporting
freight between competing points.
The American people are not pre-
pared for such radical legislation as
that which has maintained the pros
perity of French waterways, but if
this suggested power be conferred
upon the interstate commerce COM
mission it will at least prohibit the
economic phenomenon of railroads
carrying freight between given points
at an absolute financial loss.
The second suggestion is that the
railroads be forbidden to increase a
rate when it has once been lowered,
where the manifest purpose of the re-
ductiOn was to destroy waterway
competition. This is similar to the
system practiced in England, where
the railroads are not permitted to
raise rates once lowered except on the
approval of the board of trade. In
Germany and Belgium, with the
states owning the railroads and con-
trolling the waterways, the railroads
are not permitted to carry certain
cOarser classes of freight which lend
themselves readily to transportation
by boats.-Worlds Work.

FAv0RS LIBRARY
ASSOCIATION
Suggestion Made That Nee
essary Money for Site
Be Borrowed,
Editor Daily World.

Editor Daily World.
AS the fate of the Carnegie library
seems to be hanging in the balance
on account of inability to get a loca-
ton, the park site, it seems, is not
available, and the city is not able
to buy a location at present, and the
time, l understand, is short in which
the Carnegie fund must be made use
of or turned down, permit me to sug-
gest the following plan, which l VEN
ture to suggest without knowing all
the legal distractions that may be in
the way, if any, but on the whole it
seems perfectly feasible, and the best
way out of present difficulties.
The plan is that the business men
of the town form library associa-
ton consisting of as large a number
as possible, and borrow the five or
six thousand dollars which | under
stand will be necessary to buy loca-
ton, this loan to run one or two
years or longer, as seems best. AS
we all know, every city that accepts
Carnegie donation for a library
must pass an ordinance legalizing the
support of the library out of city
funds, which must pe raised by add
ing so many more mills to the tax
able property of the city. This could
be made sufficiently large to cover
this loan of the library association.
This, of course, must be done with
perfect understanding and in har-
mony with the city council.
On the face of things it seems
there should be no reason why
plan along this line can not be car
ried out. Wenatchee can not afford
to let this opportunity go by to get
a library. The library is a big uplift
in any community, and there can be
no question as to the value of the
library beyond the value of the dol
lars it will cost.

THE NEW POST OFFICE.

The new equipment for the post
office has been installed and the ex-
cellence of this equipment would be
a credit to a city five times the size
of Wenatchee. Hereafter visitors
whose first business is usually with
the post office will not receive such
an unfayorable first impression of
the city as the old post office with
it's filthy floors and inadequate ia
cilities gave them. The new fix
lures are of the very best and af-
ford conveniences for the transac-
ton of business that the community
will greatly appreciate. From this
time on, there should be no COM
plant respecting the postal facilities
of the city as far as equipment is
concerned.

Forest Supervisor Sylvester says
that he is having some 80 tool boxes
made for distribution throughout the
Wenatchee forest. Each box will
contain fire fighting tools, and will
be located at some convenient place.
So when a bunch of fire fighters are
assembled tools will be ready to their
hands. 1t has often happened that
want of proper tools has delayed
the work of stopping fires. Prompt
work at the proper time often pre-
vents a destructive fire.-Leaven-

VIEW POINTS OF THE PRESS
Regular Versus Insurgent.

Concerning those true-blue repub-
licans who clamor loudest for party
fealty, the Washington correspondent
of a republican paper says, They
would hail with glee the defat OF
Senator Beveridge in Indiana though
the state might be lost to the party
for a couple of years. Senator La
Follette's humiliation in Wisconsin
would give them even greater pleas
ure, whatever the effect upon the
party there"
This, of course, is where your dyed
in-the-wool stalwart organization
man usually lands. So long as his
faction controls the organization
everybody who doesn't humbly &C
cept its rule is traitor to be read
out of the party" If an opposing
faction gains control he is heartily in
favor of scuttling the ship and going
over to the enemy. With a democrat
of his own kidney he can deal very
comfortably. With an insurgent to
whom politics means principles and
public service he cannot get along at
all. That the insurgents are u ma
jority in Indiana and Iowa has been
demonstrated. No doubt the same
showing will be made in Wisconsin
when the republican primaries are

Gus and volunteer standpat gather

vention, which recently met in Mil

tatives of the minority insist that the
representatives of the majority do not
belong to the party at all. Accord

of party treason-a view which
would be eminently sound if the chief

litical porch-climbing. - Saturday
