international Trnffio Pact.

Only the most casual survey OF
the situation is required to dem
onstrate the wisdom of the movement
to create an international railroad
commission to have supervisory con-
troll of traffic between the United
States and Canada. and It is well, in
deed, that the two governments have
taken the initial step toward making
such provision.
Every year the international traffic
increases and with every such increase
comes a corresponding increase Of diff
ficulty In handling the problems aris-
ing from such business. Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
commission and Hon. ]. P. Mabee,
chief of the Canadian Railroad COM
mission, seem to be agreed that serious
complications will ensue and the prob
lem get beyond governmental control
unless immediate action Is taken.
This is easy to appreciate when we
consider that In order to determine the
IalTueSB Oh ThlS now Iuo nulppCA
must institute hearings before both
American and Canadian commissions
and that this precludes any inquiry
by another tribunal and in the end the
result is seldom satisfactory. Time
under existing conditions counts for
nothing, whereas 1t is as a matter. of
fact a most vital and valuable element.
The problem OF the interchange of
terminals and terminal rights is one
that will soon challenge expert advice
and It's difficulties may be materially
lessened by providing an international
commission with power to control all
such matters.
Failure to take this step would not
only be inconsistent with the settled
policy Of railroad regulation, but might
seriously hamper railroad development
between the two countries, thing to
be guarded against with all possible
vigilance.

Talks for people who sell things

What vast difference in "our" and
ethel"
What vast difference in the atmos-
phere Of q store where the employees
say "our store" instead of 1.-The store"
What a difference in the employees
themselves, in the appearance of
stocks, in the number and class of GUS
toners.
What a vast difference In the per-
sonality Of the merchant whose assist
ants say I'VE" and "our" instead Of
the and "you'--but this is not get
ting to my story.
A veteran merchant did the talking
while | listened. Said he:
mo man can buy loyalty. The sala-
ries pay my assistants are for serv-
ices rendered--for standing behind my
counters and selling my goods.
But for the higher services--loy-
atty. enthusiasm and interest," pay
in friendship, courtesy and fair treat
ment. My employees are my business
associates, and treat them as such.
"A satisfied employee is as good an
advertisement as satisfied customer,
and my assistants advertise my store

liked store in town with both custo-
mers and employes-and l attend to

Is there any wonder that this mans
employees are loyal and enthusiastic7
His business is successful because
he gives both customers and employees
a square deal
His advertising reflects the spirit OF
his store-it rings true-the people
respond to it because they know they
will find exactly what the advertise
ment says they will End, and that they
will receive courteous and satisfactory
service In this store where the en-

Springfield Republican.

The Louisiana legislature has adjourned
without ratifying the income tax amend
ment and without providing for plebeseite
on the subject, as was talked OF. The
senate favored ratification and the house
opposed-the protected sugar interest hav-
Ing some influence against ratification
which might possibly lead to the substitu-
ton OF a federal tax on wealth for the
present taxes on sugar consumption Of
the poor. The Georgia legislature. how
ever, has come around to ratification. II
win be remembered that the amendment
was held up AZ last years session OF the
Georgia legislature. It will likewise come
up again In Louisiana.

The Tax Rate

Property owners and business men
should understand that the impending
determination of the tax rate which
they will have to submit to for next
year involves more than one public
authority. While the city council fixes
the city rate, subject to the paramount
dictation Of the Water board, the
amount of the school tax is decreed by
the school board, and the amount of
the county tax by the county board.
The Bee has already called attention
to the fact that the council is figuring
on imposing the maximum levy per-
mitted by the charter when it ought
to give the people the benefit of the
additional revenue which 1t is getting
from the occupation tax and other
sources to the extent of $4,000,
which can, and should be, abated from
the sinking fund and general fund
leyies
The Bee has also called attention to
the fact that the school board last year
made its estimates on the basis of a
loss of 5000 of revenue from liquor
licenses. which loss did not material
ize. and yet has spent the additional
$4,000. and is figuring on making the
school levy again the same as last
year, when it should be cut at least
$50, 600.
Attention Is hereby called to the fact
that very similar condition is pre-
sented with reference to the county
board. The estimate of the county
board for the coming year contem-
plates raising S125,OO0 more from
taxes than was raised last year. The
county board is figuring on $780,
for the road fund and $4,000 for the
bridge fund, an increase for these two
funds of $4,000, which. we submit. ii
entirely disproportionate. The county
board is also figuring on an increase
OF $4,000 in the general fund and
$4,000 in the bond sinking fund. The
necessity Of paying for some maturing
bonds apparently justifes some in,
crease in the bond sinking fund, but
the county, like the city and the schoo
district, is also receiving increasing
revenue from year to year from
sources other than taxes. and the tax
payers should get some cOmpensatin,
relief.

a frenzy a week or two ago over an I'm

There are two OF them-a republican col
onel and u democratic colonel-the first
standing for success; the second for failure.
Not a decade ago, or about that time, the
democratic colonel was the most conspicuous
personality in the republic, though a cap
tain without victory. Since 1901 the re-
publican colonel, like another Coriolanus,
has been every man himself"
1t is amusing to note the view each party
takes of its own colonel. In the republican
camp they do not seem to know exactly
what their colonel is going to do, but all
alike, regular and insurgent, are agreed
that he is thinking OF and will work for the
exaltation of the @. o. p.
On the other hand, in the democratic
camp there is feeling, amounting to in
cipient alarm II not demoralizing panic, that
their colonel is a bull in china shop. This
impression is not confined to the sane
contingents, but pervades the ranks of the
cranks as well. And even enthusiastic
Bryan men of 1908 are asking the portentous
question; "Is our colonel for us; and IL so,
what does he mean?"
Only a while ago the democratic colonel
issued a general order that Judson Har-
mon should not be a candidate for the
democratic nomination for president OF the
United States. The Ohio democracy re-
buked Colonel Bryan for that impertinence.
which amounted TO insolence, and did It

The Transit Of .eMike y


The list of delegates commissioned
to represent Holt county in the demo-
cratic state convention is headed by
the name of Mike" Harrington. We
take 1t that this means that Mike"
has finally shuffled OF the last remnant
of his populist clothes and clad himself
in out-and-opt democratic garments
Up to two years ago Mike" had al
ways insisted that he was populist Of
the Observation-Disclosures variety, al
though he was always busy steering
the populist cart in the wake OF the
democratic machine. Two years ago
mike" got one foot over the fence
when he ran as one of the Bryan pres
idential electors with the populist
brand on one shoulder and the demo-
cratic brand on the other. This
fragrant fraud proved to be successful,
IL the theft for Bryan of votes intended
for Tom" Watson can be called sue
cessful. But Mike" has evidently
been forced to the conclusion that the
game has been overplayed and that
he now has nothing more to gain by
masQueradlng as a populist. The
transit of Mike" therefore, is now
complete, and he will perform in the
democratic ring at Grand Island as he
used to perform in the populist end of
the tent.
