SEVENTY MILES

From less than II miles OF electric
interurban railroads TO more than 40

some. but that is what has been ac-
complishcd in Utah.
Less than seven months ago thore

miles In length. the other ten miles.
The party who wished to ride on
these the two longest street car
trips in Utah, would have had to make
a Jump OF over 85 miles 10 ride on the
two. Today IL is possible to ride
over 70 miles in an almost straight
direction, with but two changes OF

And you want

Bought any bacon recently? You
remember when ham was IL cents

you thought it too high to buy. Well,
it's now "a cents and going up.
But bacon--it is cheaper to live
on terrapin and champagne than on
common hog bacon. That delicacy
is now 40 cents a pound at the local
markets and the chances are that
the butcher has none in stock. Only
farmers and others of the Million

election of delegate to congress the
opposition paper says: Concerning

ing a number of benefits from con-
gress for Hawaii. He will be voted
for on that issue, while George b.

RATES AND THE PUBLIC.

J,R, Koontz, general freight agent,
who has charge of the rate making
Of the Santa Fe, and who has spent
,twenty-five years in the service
talked to the Reflector yesterday
about the work of his department,
giving some good points. He said
that freight rates are based on COM
merclal conditions, and that the IN
terstate commerce commission and
the state commission would event
Iually adopt thatfprinciple. II they
do not, he declared, commercial con-
ditlons would be disturbed to such
an extent that many industries would
be put out Of business. He said that
the rate makers employed by COM
missions are gradually coming to that
view Of the situation.
Factories must be located at
points where raw material and cheap
fuel are within easy range" MT.
Koontz said, otherwise they would
not be able to operate to their fullest
capacity. The rate makers Of the
future, like those Of the present, VIII
have to give the manufacturers rates
with which they can meet all forms
of competition. 1t will be a CONNER
cial necessity, and unless the coming
rate makers recognize 1t, there Will
be grief for the business world. Cit
les built as q result Of natural cen
vlronments, or transportation facili-
ties, will demand that the relation OF
their rights shall be maintained"
Mr.. Koontz said that by reason OF
misQuotation many people are OF
the opinion that it is the policy OF
the railroads to charge IAN the
tratfice will bear" That, he said, Is
incorrect. The policy is. What the
traffic will bear" Explaining the dif-
ference. he said that the conditions
existing in the various towns on a
line OF road make the basis OF rates
to the markets desired. These rates
must be such that the industries can
afford to pay them, and at the same
time obtain a fair return on their
output. In other words, II a Kansas
manufacture desires to reach the
markets o. the Mississippi Valley IN

srDELIGHT ON "CosT OF LIVING"

Lives and Saves Money.

in the meat business in another part

where he was doing business was

BRADY SAYS IT'S GOOD.
Church Has Helpful Influence in
Politics. U

Governor James H. Brady, of Ida
no, formerly of Abilene, has this in
Leslie's Weekly:
The question of the advantage or
DISADVANTAGE to a public man Of be-
ing professed Christian appears to
me to admit Of but one answer |
do not think that the American peo-
pie have turned any man down be-
cause he was Christian, while many
men have failed for the want OF sterl-
ing qualities of Christian manhood.
| believe also that those men who,
while not professed Christians, have
nevertheless achieved success would
have found both their reputation
and their usefulness enhanced by a
genuine Christian experience. In this
country we have a perfect separation
Of church and state, and our people
will not tolerate any sort Of eccies-
iastical domination in state affairs.
But this merely defines the relative
spheres Of church and state, and Is
in no sense indicative of hostility to-
ward Christianity. Nor does 1t mean
that the church is to have no direct
Influence in public affairs. In point
Of fact, If that influence were, clint
mated, the history Of our country
would have to be rewritten in many
important particulars History has
shown that Christian morality is the
only code makins. toward full reali-
cation Of the millennium.

| ty could not possibly be used as q
basis for freight rates. THE constant
fluctuatlon Of railroad values" be
said, would make It necessary to
change rates frequently, II valuation
was the basis for rate schedules.
For instance: The railroad charges
twenty-five cents hundred for a
given distance this year. Next year
the railroad company improves the
line ten thousand dollars a mile. On
the physical valuation plan the rate
would have to be raised. II tho
company allowed the road to depre-
ciate in value the rate would have
to be lowered. This fluctuation OF
rates would keep the business inter-
ests of the country in turmoil. from
one years end to the other"
Mr.. Koontz cited the difference in
values of parallel lines as an objec-
ton to he physical valuation OF rail-
roads as basis for rate making. He
called attention to several high grade
main lines in Kansas which parallel
poor branch lines for many miles. The
rates between common points, OF
course, must be the same and Mr..
Koontz commended that the rate, based
on a physical valuation, would be
fixed on the lower value. To meet
the new condition, the good road
would have to allow its property to
depreciate to the level Of the poor
line, Mr.. Koontz's idea is that the
people don't want to be confronted
by that condition. sE

Wamego Man Tells OF Line Between
That Place and WestmOreland.

James Sullivan of Wamego, who
has extensive cattle interests in the
western part of the state, stopped
over in Abilene for a short time on
his way to Winona, where he is going
to look after a bunch of steers. Mr..
Sullivan states that grading for the
railroad which is to connect Wamego
with Westmoreland, the county seat
of Pottawatomie county, is now in
progress. 1t has not yet been decided
whether the motive power on the new
line will be steam or electricity. The
cost of construction is being met
largely by local capital.

no opposition for election, Ernest
Morse for county treasurer. This
is a striking tribute to one of the
finest young men in the county and
one who has made good in every
position. Coming home from college
he went into the treasurer's office
as deputy county treasurer where
he has served three years and has
shown himself a capable and ex-
ceedingly accommodating county Of

Republicans to have such timber OIL

to be proud OF their candidate fol
