THE 23RD PSALM REVISED,

The politician is my shepherd;
| shall not want any good thing
during the campaign. He lead
eth me into the saloon for my
votes sake; he flleth my peck
cts with good cigars; my glass
OF beer runneth over. He pre-
pareth my ticket for me in the
presence of my better Judgment.
Yea, though | walk through the
rain and mud to vote for him,
and shout myself hoarse, when
he is elected straightway he for
getteth me. Lo, when I meet
him in his own office he knoweth
me not. Surely the wool has
been pulled over my eyes all the
days Of my life and | will kick
myself forever.

something pretty soon. The
light is beginning to dawn. Now
it is all as plain as. a bug IN your
soup. Give the wage-slaves just
a smell Of the profits and. they
will work better. But give them
enough to do some good enough
to keep them from going ragged
and hungry-and it will take a
way all their incentive to work,
fill the land with deadbeats, and
cause the downfall of the nation.
Fry a meat-skin and hold it un-
der a mans nose and he will

idea! Why don't you and the

The so-called dissolution Of the
American Tobacco Company, in
which the company itself was
allowed to draw up all the plans,
is about the biggest joke Of the
season. It reminds me of the
Irishman who was sentenced to
be hung, and the court gave him
permission to choose what kind
of a tree he wanted to be hung
on.
"B faith in me Jasus,' said
Pat, land | believe I'll choose a
gooseberry bush"
ooh, that's too SMALL" said
the court.
"Then b'faith in me Jasus,
I'll wait till it grows" replied
the prisoner.
+ Now, I'll bet it was a sin
to the crickets to see the tobacco
trust whetting a knife to cut it's
own throat with? Does the Mig
ger chicken-thief get a chance to
say how his case shall be decid-
ed? Does the small criminal in
any line get to have it all his
own way and advise the court
just what kind Of a sentence he
wants? Not on your sweet life,
John Henry. Then why must
the Supreme Court discriminate
in favor Of the tobacco trust ?
Simply because the tobacco
trust is able to buy the Supreme
Court and pay for it, and for no
other reason. Such an internal
mockery of justice is enough to
make the angels weep their eyes
out.

PROFIT & PUKE.

Here is a great joke. The
United States Steel Company
has adopted what it calls a
"proft-sharing plan" and is 60
ing to give it's wage-slaves just a
tiny speck Of it's billion-dollar
profits.
"The men will appreciate it,
said George W. Perkins, head of
the steel trust. eff we act in
good faith, we will be willing to
take the men into our confidence,
for they will be our partners.
This proft-sharing plan puts an
incentive on individual initia-
tive, and it will get the best there
is in the men. Theoretically it
is right-practically it must be-"
Oh, he-haw! haw! haw! haw !!
For the Lords sake, do come and
rub my belly. l am just about to
die with pure tickledness.
Law, yes, Perk, that is a great
thought you have thunk out with
your little thinkeratus. To open
up your old dough-bag and let
the men who created your great
wealth get just a tiny smell of
what they have created-that
will work wonders. It will be a
| great incentive to individual eff
fort, and will cause the men to
do their best. 0 yes! Sure!
But hold on there, Perk! 1t
seems sorter like | read in The
Yaller Jacket t'other day some
thing about how dangerous it is
to give the workers too much OF
what they produce. If you give
the laborer the full value Of what
he produces-that is, if you give
} him ALL the profts-it will de:
stroy his incentive to work and
fill the land with idlers and dead
beats. You must give labor Just
enough Of it's own earnings tc
sorter halfway keep soul anG
body together, and you million
aires pocket the rest. So says
the all-wise Yaller Jacket.

the facts. We are going to Learn

Over

Well, dear sinner friends, this is
The Fool-Killer.
How does it set on your stomach?
If you like it, you can get more at
headquarters.
The Fool-Killer is not sven a forty
'leventh cousin to any other paper on
earth.
It stands in a class by itself. and
it's field is as broad as the English
language.
This paper wears no bell, muzzle,
collar nor halter.
You can put that down to start with.

pump-handle or this pungent period

Well, bless your soul, L am a great
deal richer than old John.
l never travelled any to speak of,
but have read a great deal, and have
thunk some.
I have also writ a few books which
! know are great, because they don't
sell worth q cent.
Great books never do.
And then l started The Fool-Killer,
just to quiet my nerves and keep the
old press from getting rusty.
From the s~eclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month

will shake the rotten foundations Of
society and cause the Church of Nam
mon to at least turn over in it's sleep

mustard-plaster for the blood-boils Of
Society, Church and State.
It will be sailed with wit, ~pepperei
with humor and seasoned with sar
casm.
Every line will cut like a whip, ant
every word will raise a blister.

ruling which states in so many words
that the railroads as common carriers
shall not make the man with the short
haul pay more for his lack of geogra-
phical location than the man at the
seaport terminal. That to do so was
discrimination and contrary to law.
The change in rates on the Short Line,
which will go into effect next month,
is merely compliance with the above
ruling and is not, as is often limited at
in the press of the state, the result of
change of heart by the railroads of
the west. At any rate, the result is
the same, actual decrease in rates
that hurt every business house at pres
ent and which when in effect will al

The reduction of the rates from Chi
cago and other eastern points which
will take effect next month is worth
many dollars to the people of this ter
ritory in common with all of the inter-
mountain west, which has heretofore
paid on rates based on the haul to the
coast and the haul back. This rate
discrimination made by all railroads
doing transcontinental business has
operated against the intermountain
west to a great extent. 1t has been
fought by every city and county with
in that district for number of years.
Appeal after appeal and protest after
protest has been sent in to the COM
merce commission with little result
until the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce last year secured a reduction
for Spokane, giving it the same rate
enjoyed by Portland and Seattle, where
before it had paid an excess of the
haul back. That was the first step
and created such enthusiasm for a
radical revolution that the commerce
commission last month made the final

GOVERNOR SPECIFIES CHANGES.
Things Which Extra Session Should
Discuss.

Governor Hawley is as good as his
word In the matter of the special ses-
sion of the legislature. The governor
is as good as his word also in confin-
ing the work of the special session to
consideration of tax matters, and to
that alone. A revision of the tax sys-
tenn and provisions for certain consti-
tutional amendments bearing on tax
matters are to monopoliZe the time
and attention of the lawmakers for the
entire 20 days they will be in session
In the following statement Govern
or Hawley outlines what he hopes to
accomplish by means of the special
session. At the same time he gives
again his views on the present tax
system and points out his reasons for
demanding a change.
In his statement the governor says
THE underlying principle upon
which l based my call for a special
session is the necessity for a change
in the revenue laws of the state and
the submission of constitutional
amendments to the people which, in
connection with the legislation l hope
will be enacted, will make complete
revenue system founded upon princi-
pies that will do equal and exact JUS
tice to every taxpayer, and absolutely
prevent the inequalities of the past
from being continued in the future.
"The absurdities and inequalities of
the revenue law as it has heretofore
existed has never been forcibly called
to the attention of the people, main
ly for the reason that it has new
er been enforced. Officers have here
tofore evaded the law and continually
violated their official oaths apparently
thinking thereby that the inefficiency
of the law would be corrected
"The vicious system heretofore pre-
vailing, which set utterly at defiance
not only the law itself, but the ordin-
airy principles of good government up
on which every law is based, has
gradually grown up and the people
have so become accustomed to viola
tons of law that many become dis
contented because of its enforcement.
"The enforcement of the revenue
law during the present year, while not
as complete as it should have been.
has, however, called attention in the
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1911-12-26

most effective way to the corrections
necessary to be made. The people of
the state are awakened to the neces-
sity Of the changes being made and
the legislature has the opportunity of
acting intelligently upon a new sys-
tenn because the inefficiency of the old
method has been effectively demon
strated by its enforcement
There are many changes that
should be made in our laws. There
are many matters that l should like to
submit to the legislature for it's action,
but | would not have felt justified in
calling special session except upon
the all-important subject of a thor
ough revision of our revenue laws and
the necessary changes in the constitu-
ton and other laws pertaining thereto.
"The special session will be limited,
SO far as its existence is concerned, to
20 days. | realize that many other
matters could be presented demanding
attention, still | am satisfied that so
to do would district the attention of
the members of the legislature from
the main subject at issue and might
result in a failure to give us a proper
revision of our revenue system. So be-
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1911-12-26

have to rest until the next regular
session and in the meantime can be
carefully thought over by the people
and by those selected to legislative
positions.
ut is true that some Of these ques-
tons would occupy but little of the
time OF the session, but to submit them
and to have variety of subjects not
connected with the revenue system be-
fore the legislature would give an OPP
portunity to those who are not anxious
for change or who would desire to
play politics at the coming session to
distract the attention of the members
to such other subjects and keep such
subjects in allegiance during the ses-
sion and perhaps result in the defeat
of any revenue reform.
1T is not because I am averse to
changes being made in these other
matters or that l am unaware that
such changes would be beneficial to
the people of the state, that did not
enlarge the scope of the special ses-
sion, but simply for the reason that I
, believe the paramount question before

change in our revenue laws and I did

We do not think the country is quite

the commission has made a strong case
for the plan which it recommends. But
we do believe that the country is in
favor of complete publicity and of ply

fact that most people misunderstood
or fail to consider the difference be-
note, a promise to pay definite sum
at the end OF a definite time. A share
of stock is simply certificate that
the holder is entitled to a share in the
profits of the enterprise. The commits
sion is inclined to advocate the plan
that railway shares should be issued
without any par value stamped upon
them. 1t would follow in the division
of railway profits the method very
of New England before the days of the
present joint stock companies. A
group of men combined and built a
ship; the wealthiest might own quar-
ter of her; there might be others who
owned a thirty-second each or sixty
fourth each. The man who had sixty
fourth interest in a whaler had sixty
fourth interest in the profits of her
voyage. If these profits were sixty
four thousand dollars, he got thou
sand dollars. The Commission recon-
mends that the Interstate Commerce
Commission should have authority and
adequate funds to make a valuation of
the physical property of railroads
wherever the question of the value of
these roads is, in the judgment of that
commission, of sufficient Importance. !"
In brief, the commission believes that
railway securities may be issued as
the companies choose, provided that
complete publicity is enforced by the
federal government and an accurate
physical valuation is in the hands of
the federal government The govern
ment can then regulate rates on a
basis of reasonable cost to the road
and service to the shipper without re-
gard to the effect of profits upon the
price of securities; for the public will
then buy the securities without consid.
Grafton of an artificial par value, but
only because those securities entitle
the holder to certain share in the
profits which are made public BY the
government. In most of the states the
present method of protecting shipper,
passenger, and investor is to permit
the issuance Of railway securities only
after authorization by a public service
commission. Dr. Hadley and his COL
leagues propose to accomplish the
same protection by slightly different
method. They would protect the in
weston, according to the principle of
caveat emptor, by publicity and physi-
cal value, leaving the volume and price
of the securities to be determined by

THE RAILROAD SECURITIES COM
MISSION.

MlSSlON.
Any book which President Arthur T.
Hadley, of Yale, writes, or any debate
in which he takes part. is apt to be
straightforward, lucid, and full of hui
man interest. We are not surprised
to find these qualities in the report
of the Railroad Securities Commission
of which President Hadley is chair
man. 1t is pamphlet of about forty
pages, and can be read like an essay
without break from beginning to end
1t is clear from the brief letter which
DR.. Hadley writes to President Taft
in transmitting the report that the
commission in its work has collected
a great mass of statistics, testimony,
railway reports, financial tables, as
well as political, economic, and histor-
ical literature on the subject. But
the report itself it not burdened with
any of these details. Figures are men
toned only once or twice in the entire
forty pages. In clear and direct Ian
guage which any layman can under
stand the report states the facts con-
nected with the issuance of railway Sc
curities, the defects of the present me-
thod of selling these securities to the
public, the remedies proposed for these
defects, the advantages for some of
these remedies and the weakness of
others, and concludes by making re-
concentrations of it's own both for inn
mediate and for future legislation. The
commission believes that the most inn
portant step to be taken is legislation
providing for complete, plain, and uni
form publicity under federal direction
regarding existing and all future is
sues of railway securities. 1t believes
that many of the disorders connected
with railway securities are due to the
