FAVORS THE COMMUTERS.
New Jersey Patrons of Pennsyfvania
to Save So a Month.

Washington, Aug 1.-The interstate
commerce commission has granted re-
lief to New Jersey commuters living
along the Pennsylvania railroad. 1t
ordered that company to reduce It's
rate from New York to New Bruins
wick from S12 to SO for monthly
ticket and to file proportionate commu-
tation rates from New York to other
New Jersey points.
The new commuta don rates on the
Central Of New Jersey and the Lehigh
Valley are found TO be reasonable, and
those put into effect by the Erie, Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western and
the West Shore are also declared on
the whole not to be excessive except
in a few particular cases. The Erte's
communication rates to points thirty
three miles or more distant from New
York city are held to be unreasonable,
as are also the communication fares
charged by the Lackawanna and the
West Shore to points toward the linn
its of the suburban zones.
The commission. however, enters
uO Ah iC6oio W thOoO totSS1
rates, but suggests that the defendants
will at once revise their schedules so
as to bring them inside reasonable
limit. The commission finds that the
new fifty trip tickets Of the Erie, Lack
awanna and West Shore are higher
than they should be, and in this case
also the commission instructs the rail
roads promptly to take these fares un-
der advisement and to suggest reduc-
tons in keeping with the commission's g
findings.
The commissions decision IN regard
to the commutation rates on the New
York Central and the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Is deferred pend.

ing conducted into the subject by the

CAMP PA|CN BEGINS.
Members of Parliament AC,
tive In Canada.
RECIPROCITY IS THE ISSUE.
Both the Government and Opposition
Leaders Hold Daily Conferences
With Aids From All Parts of
the Dominion.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 1.-The Canadian
reciprocity campaign has been opened
In many parts Of the country by men,
bers Of parliament.
The two party leaders, however, will
not start on their speaking tours until
next week.
Daily conferences between the lead
ers and their provincial campaign
managers are scheduled. Robert Rog-
ers. who will conduct the fight against
reciprocity in Manitoba, is here for a
conference with Opposition Leader
Borden.
r. G. Henders and Robert Macken-
zte, president and secretary of the
western grain growers, came In from
the west to give their advice and CO.
operation to the government.
In further explanation of the gov.
ernment position in dissolving parlia-
ment one Of the Dominion ministers
said:
IF reciprocity had been forced
through at this time 1t would have
been put in jeopardy within year, as
by law general election would have
had to come after another session.
'By bringing the election on now we
expect to be able to make reciprocity
the sole issue. If the election were
deferred for year and reciprocity put
through the chances are that 1t then
will be only one Of the issues.
1.-The Liberal government might be
turned out on some other question. and
the incoming Conservative government
would undoubtedly put through an act
repeating reciprocity.
"If the government is sustained In
September 1t means that the people
want reciprocity, that 1t will be rati-
fed and that its opponents will not get
another chance at 1t for at least four
years.

Pursuant to the requests of my
many friends in the county and the
general understanding three years

that after a short start by way of an

honestly, frankly and fairly with

courage and assist every true effort
