CLOSE VOTE IN MAINE.

Canal Tolls and Cost of Living.

Canal Tolls and Cost of Living.
In the wide discussion OF the ques-
ton of Panama canal tolls the theory
is advanced that free tolls on Ameri-
can coastwise traffic will mean
cheaper transportation within our
own borders by reason of rail and
water competition, and in turn a cor
responding reduction in prices to the
consumer, hence a partial solution of
the MISUNDERSTANDING problem. It
is now believed by some that the
canal may be ready for business in
the spring of 1918, but that would
still defer the relief rather long.
Seriously, II does seem as II low
tolls on the Panama would contribute
somewhat to this result, yet how
much is mere guesswork. But before
We get to that conclusion. the ques-
ton of tolls or no tolls has to be set
tied. Some contend that the United
States has not complete Jurisdiction
over the matter OF tolls, a contention
hardly tenable, though, in the light
Of article 2 of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, taken in connection with ar
ticle 3 of the same treaty, the respec-
tive articles reading:
The said government shall have and
enjoy all the rights incident to such con
struction, as we'll as the exclusive right
OF providing for the regulation and man
agement OF the canal
The canal shall be free and open to the
vessels Of commerce and OF war OF all
nations observing these rules on terms of
entire equality, so that there shall be no
discrimination against any such nation,
or its citizens or subjects, in respect of
the conditions or charges of traffic or
otherwise.
This is taken as justifying the be-
lief that the treaty aims at imposing
uniform rates of toll on all competi-
tive commerce between nations In a
common market, though it may not
as plainly imply that domestic COM
merce of any nation is made subject
to the treaty regulations. 1t is very
plain from the treaty, though, that
the United States retains the excIu-
sive right of providing for the regu-
lation and management of the
canal" And that is the same as say
ing that we may act arbitrarily in
using the canal for our own internal
commerce, just so we avoid discrimi-
nation against foreign powers in a
foreign competitive market.

In the discussion elected by the
action Of the governors conference in
appointing a committee to see that
the states side of the question be
properly presented in the appeal from
the Sanborn decision none is more
significant than the comment of the
Outlook, whose contributing editor
as we all know, was responsible for
the converting Of the governors for
the first time. The question involved,
as there defined, is how the twilight
zone" now unoccupied by any gov
ernmental authority, shall be brought
under governmental sway, and the
outlook gives this expression of opin-
ion:
The governors i'm conference naturally
look to the extension into that zone of
the sovereignty Of the states. and GER
tsinly there is no room for disputing that
IL would be better to have the twilight
zone under state regulation than under
no regulation at all. On the other hand.
we think that experience has made II
pam tnat II the control over the tWllBHt
zone is to be effective and Just It should
be exercised largely by the national gov
eminent.
The proposition is plainly much
wider than the Sanborn decision.
That decision, which purpoTts to draw
the line between state and federal
powers to fix and regulate railway
rates, may be reversed or affirmed
and still leave this much greater
problem Of state or federal control
yet to be solved. The movement for
uniform laws on many subjects regu-
larly discloses the fact that the only
laws that operate uniformly through
out the country are the federal laws.
The true distribution of authority
and responsibility between the state
and national governments is what is
sought after, but can be reached only
through slow and imperfect stages.

Juggling the Prices.

The sudden rise of foodstuff prices
charged to Canada's rejection of reel
procity is not justified by conditions.
1t is the judgment of many eventual
anced men that had reciprocity been
accepted in Canada and become oper-
alive it would have had no vital eff
feet upon the cost of living, except as
it may have been fictitiously used by
manipulators of the markets. 1t does
not stand to reason, then, that its de-
feat can be of vital consequence to
prices. Conditions of supply and de-
mand are exactly as they have been
all the time. The laws governing ex-
change have not been affected one
particle by Premier Laurier's defeat,
nor is there any other reason why
prices should fluctuate wildly except
through speculation.
1t only goes to show what slight
pretext those who control the mar
kets require in order to shift the
whole scale of prices. 1t Is absurd
to say that even had reciprocity been
voted 1t would have had the effect in
a year, perhaps, which 1t must have
had to warrant such advances. The
idea that the man who sits down to
his oatmeal or other breakfast food
the day after the ballots are cast in
Canada shall pay more for 1t than he
did the day before is not tenable.
But not only have the prices of
foodstuffs been juggled as a make
shift result of this Canadian election;
the prices of commodities not edible
are similarly affected. What would
have been the result had reciprocity
carried. one can only conjecture from
these conditions. Most people, we be-
lieve, in this country have come to
the conclusion that the chief effect
of reciprocity, had it carried, would
have been more moral than economic
If that theory be correct, then it
leaves all the less excuse for this
shooting up of the prices of neces-
stiles by those who are in the habit
of gambling in such things

Old Diaz Power Still Alive

General Reyes of Mexico has pub
licly advised his friends not to par
ticipate in the election of October /
on the ground that it will be illegal
Because of this conviction, he says,
he will not urge his own candidacy
for president as opposed to DR.. Ma
dero. General Reyes gives as his
reason for questioning the legality of
the election the fact that the country
is not yet at peace. That seems to be
a fact and yet it is under civil gov
eminent and nominally at peace. 1t
will be a most interesting situation to
watch after Madero has been elected
as it seems he will be by default,
whether the Reyes party, which is
really the old Diaz following, can
interpose any barrier to the new
presidents taking office on those
grounds. Should Mexico wait until
1t is wholly at peace before holding a
national election it might have to
wait long time.
Evidently General Reyes, as the
old friend and associate of Diaz, did
not return from France for nothing
nor has Diaz, deposed and exiled, de
cided to forget and forgive all Just
yet, These old warriors think they
have a few cards TO play which the
| Maderists have not OWNED. One
thing is certain, they do not propose
to lay themselves open to the new
element in the republic. Genera
Reyes insists that if his friends
should seek to take part in the cleo
ton the partisans of Madero woulC
have recourse to all sorts Of meas
ures to impede their voting. Tha
very thing on the part OF Diaz at tn,
last election is what precipitated tn,
revolution, making Madero a ma
tional leader. Surely Madero mus
have learned a better lesson.
Distrust, a general lack of conf
dence, continues between the oppos
ing factions in Mexico. we see, an,

A Friends Tribute.

SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., Sept. ITO
the Editor of The Bee: 1t was with
great deal OF regret that I saw the press
reports Of the death Of Congressman Ed
Madison Of Kansas. He and ! were old
time intimate friends and I probably
knew him better than any one else IN
Douglas county.
He was a man Of commanding ability
and an orator of great power. While we
did not agree on his insurgency within
the republican ranks, yet my admiration
for him remained undimlnished. Had
he lived II is more than likely that he
would have been one of the Kansas SEN
ators before many years and he might
have filled still higher positions at the
hands of the government. He would
have finally recovered from his insurgent
leanings. He was man of bull dog de-
termination and one whose integrity
could not be questioned.
1t Is a great loss to the country TO have
a man of high ability and worth die just
when he had a great career open before
him. While his satire did not equal that
Of the late John ]. Ingalls,, yet he would
have filled as great a page in our national
history as did Ingalls, had he lived few
years longer. For his oratory was I'M
euualled and he might have eventually
filled the place left vacant by the death
Of Dolliver, whose oratory was not sur
passed even by Bryan.
Even with all his insurgency his place
will be hard to fill.

caII-Down for the Governor.

KEARNEY, Neb. Sept 1S-To the
Editor Of The Bee: My attention has
been called to a meeting held down in
New Jersey a few days ago by lot OF
prancing governors. They had learned
that an inferior federal court some
where had annulled, or was about to
annu, a state law regulating railroads.
Notwithstanding the fact that they, them
selves. had been known to have put to
sleep various legislatures. they were furi-
Gus. CONSERVATION prevailed. Indigna-
ton was visible on many faces. Drastic
resolutions were prepared; long and loud
speeches were made in the interest of
state rights. The shock was felt through
out the land. Inferior federal judges
trembled; the supreme court at Washing
ton took notice. Strange to say the only
friend that Uncle Sam had in that meet
ing was from the southland. Perhaps
many of these distinguished gentlemen
had forgotten that half a century ago
Abraham Lincoln had preached the doc
trine of states rights Possibly some of
them were born since that time and have
neglected to read ancient history. How
ever this may be- our governor seems to
have license to go everywhere and say
the most outlandish things imaginable.
We don't object to his prancing up and
down in front of the grandstand TO his
hearts content but we give him notice
right now that he must not ride rough
shod over Uncle Samuel. We protest.
And II ne persists, we may try the recall
on him. JOSEPH BLACK.

New Record in Long Trains.
Boston Transcript.

More or less comment, not all of it
favorable, is heard on the tremendous
weight put upon our railroad tracks, and
some of the recent accidents have been
attributed to the spread OF the rails
from this cause, What seems like a
new record in this respect was made
last week by a freight train on the
santa BE road, a big Mallet engine draw
ing a hundred loaded cars, the train
weighing over 100000 pounds exclusive
to the locomotive. which added 10000
more. Yet a speed OF fourteen and a
half miles an hour was made for q
distance OF over a hundred miles. The
length Of this loaded train was con.
siderably more than three-auarters OF a
mile.
