The Express Business.

In 1908 the Interstate Commerce
commission reported the operation in
this country of eighty-five express
companies doing an interstate bust
ness. The majority OF people had
never heard OF but six of these eighty
five companies and, as a matter of
fact, these six so completely dominate
all the others as to make the latter's
existence merely nominal. 1t is doubt
full II any one business in the United
States is held more tightly and abso-
lutely within the grasp Of few men
than the express business, yet this
combine seems to have escaped the
serious attention of the democratic
agitators, who spent so much time in
the recent extra session of congress
starting Investigations.
In 1907 these six dominating COM
panies did a business which covered
.S7.5 per cent OF all the express mileage
in the country and earned SO per cent
OF the total gross receipts and 1915
per cent of the total net incomes OF all
express companies. These are official
figures compiled in the, government S
records for 1910. They are rather con-
vincing as showing that the express
business OF the United States is con-

Promoting Uniformity in Laws.

The American Bar association has
for several years been doing its most
notable work in promoting uniformity
in laws, and this year in its annual
convention It recommends the enact
ment of a uniform law on wife and
child desertion. Here is list of some
of it's achievements in the direction of
uniformity already, which shows that
its efforts have not been in vain.
Negotiable instruments acts, thirty-five
states, two territories, two possessions and
the District OF Columbia; warehouse re-
ceipts act. twenty-one states and terri
tories and the District of Columbia sales
act eight states and one territory; bills
of lading act, six states; transfer Of stock
act, five states.
Time and money are wasted and
justice often cheated because of the
variety of statutes in different states
governing the same subject. Why
should not statutory law, wherever
conditions are alike, be more nearly
uniform in all the states? In common
law there are fundamentals which do
not change with state or national
boundary lines, and in some of the
statutory classifcations there ought to
sertion is wife desertion, whether
committed in Maine or California, and
can scarcely be dealt with with facil-
ity and satisfaction IL what is a crime
Il a. L., 80 to
other. In this and numerous other
forms of law violation, greater uni
formity among the states would sim
plify procedure, lessen the difficulties
encountered in acquisitions and eN-
traditions and contribute vitality to
speedy justice.
Those whose infractions come under
the head Of evasive crime are usually
informed on the loopholes of state
laws and often take advantage of
statutory defects, making 1t dificult, If
not impossible, to bring them to &C
count or to indemnify their victims.
Uniformity in laws on subjects prop
erly demanding uniformity would do
away with the twilight zone.
Perhaps the American Bar associa-
ton may decide to lend its support to
the movement for a uniform law on
marriage and divorce. It would be
satisfying a very lively popular de-
mand, we believe, and exerting a
wholesome and much needed influence
The statutory law in the several states
is perhaps at variance nowhere more
widely than It is on this. 1t ranges
from no ground for divorce whatever
in South Carolina to any old ground
in Nevada. Yet the fact that the fam
lily is the social unit and its integrity
essential to social safety is UNMARRIED by
state lines.

Commission Plan oppositiOn.

Friends of the commission plan of
city government must not delude them
selves into the notion that It will be
adopted unanimously at the election
this week Just because there Is no or
ganized or matchmaking opposition.
There is just enough latent opposition
to the commission plan in Omaha to
call for a warning to those who favor
It to get busy to offset the negative
votes sure to come from various
sources.
1. The ins who are holding office
in the city hall are more or less dis
quieted as to the future which the
commission plan holds for them, and
some Of them will be against 1t.
2. Certain public works contractors
are undisguisably hostile to the COM
mission plan. They know what pull
they have now, and they do not want
to give it up.
3. Liquor dealers are justly in
censed over the action of Mayor Jim
in fixing the election on Saturday,
compelling them to close down two
days in succession, and some of them
may emphasize their displeasure by
voting no"
4. Members of organized labor are
not a unit on the commission plan.
The groundless fear that 1t is a
scheme of the enemies of organized
labor is apt to influence quite num-
Der of them adversely.
g. The regular ward workers are
naturally against new experiments
which may impair their usefulness in
future elections. AS rule they would
rather hold to what they have than
take a chance on something doubtful.
6. Those opposed to the commission
plan on principle because they dis
agree with the plan as a whole, or find
fault with the particular form en-
bodied in the Nebraska law, may be
counted on to vote against adoption.
All these elements put together are
still a small minority of the whole
community, but an active minority
might cast more votes than listless
and indefinite majority. Advocates OF
the commission plan must not lei
themselves be caught mapping.
