INCREASED COST or LIVING.

nat Booker i. Washington has
been preaching for years as the best
solution Of the problems of the city
Negro, has been adopted by some of
the best thinkers of the white race
| as the only means by which a reduc-
ton in the cost of living may be
brought about; in other words, they
advocate the return to the soil as the
best, If not the only, solution of the
problem of the city white man.
1t has been the fashion for some
years to attribute to the tariff and
the trusts the Misunderstanding adj
Tahees iii prices -ef-the- necessities of
life. The thoughtless. and, we fear,
some who are given credit of having
studied the subject have smote the
trusts hip and thigh for having rails
ed the cost of living.
Truth is at last having hearing,
and the blame is being placed where
1t really belongs. The productions of
food stuffs have not kept up with the
-hCN, iuicu ny lue ulSu
prices paid for labor in the cities and
on public works-mines, railroad
construction and the like-hare- de-
serted the farms in much larger num-
bars than others have engaged in ag-
ricultural pursuits. When to these
are added the hordeS of immigrants.
nine Of whom are consumers of agri-
cultural products to every one who
produces, one does not have to go
far to find the cause of the evils of
Which We now SO loudly complain .
Back to the farm is the only cure.
but this cannot be effected by legis-
latlNe ena:tments, judicial decisions
nor executive prCclamations. When
the people are brought to see, as they
soon will be by starvation, if by no
other means. that, while the pay
might not be as high, farm labor is
more remunerative in the long run,
the cost Of living will readjust itself.
We will then return to the day Of the

thing left over for house rent.

RAILWAY REGULATION.

President Taft, like his predeces
sor, President Roosevelt, seems tc
"+be determined to keep Congress
5 busy the balance of the session. One
T OF the measures that he is vigorously
urging is the enactment Of 4 law for
further, more thorough and effect
I've federal control over railroads and
other great interstate corporations.
The way our railways have been
built in the past has produced q
great and lasting evil. For instance,
when road is to be built that will
cost $50,C00.00O, company is or
ganized, and stock is issued to that
amount and sold. Out of this $50
100000 received from the sale Of
stock, about s45,00O,OOO goes into
the pockets of the promoters, which
Is nothing more or less than grating
Then the board of directors has to
issue bonds for that $45,OOO.OOO in
order ito raise money with which to
build he-foaa. When-the- road is
completed it must necessarily earn
enough money to pay dividends on
this $5O,OOO,OOO of stock, of which
30 per cent is water, and the interest
on the bonds.
IN order to do this, the railroad
has to charge double for the passen-
ger and freight traffic; whereas, if
the road had been built honestly,
would only have to pay dividends
on the stock, and could of course,
transport cheaply. 1t is the iniqui-
tous origin OF the railroads of this
country that has caused the people
to take such violent action against
them, and for this antagonism the
railroads have no one to blame but
themselves.
The state of Texas has DEVELOPED
the best railroad system Of laws of
any state Of the Union. Wnen ? rail
road is to be built in Texas. the
promoters must submit their plans to
the railroad commission Of that State
who will not permit them to issue
any larger amount OF stock or bonds
tnan is necessary to build the rail
road, and when the stock is sold, the
proceeds Of the sale must be ac-
counted for to the railroad commits
sloners. If the Legislature of every
state in the Union had passed as wise
laws as the State of Texas, the rail
road evil would have been very much
less than it IS.
President Taft wants the Congress
to regulate the issuance of all stocks
and bonds by railroads which cross
state lines, and this will include, of
course, every railroad Of any impor-
lance in the country.
Every individual state should see
20 1T that when the Federal authori-
ties take control Of railroads and
SUCH things, that the authority of
each state is undisturbcd, so far as
controlling the railroads that come
within it's borders
Senator Root, Of New York, former
Secretary OF State under Mr.. Roose-
welt, has warned the states of this
Union that they shold see to it that
thclr rights are not absorbed by the
federal government, but the two
should work in harmony with each
other
