1t might be argued that the fall In tbs
ratio OF revenue 70 debt is due to the rapid
growth Of our cities and to the correspond
ingly large investment in municipal build.
ings and plants. and that the fall in reve.
nue. is not unsound since these plants now
having been constructed, can be main
tanned at relatively small cost. This arKu.
ment, however. is not conclusive, since the
growth Of our cities from 1904, when the
fall in revenue began to occur to date has
not been exceptionally rapid. as shown by
our census reports.
That the annual revenue Of all cities in
the United States has fallen from s9B per
cent Of Their Indebtedness In 1904 to about
80 per cent at the present time, apparently
represents a real deterioration in financial
conditions; and the falling prices and ris-
ing yields Of municipal bonds generally
point to the same conclusion. OF course.
the graft of politicians and the profits
made by builders and other influential
business men through the expenditure of
municipal funds tend toward continued
growth of Indebtedness.
Undoubtedly ii is clear that this regular
annual fall in revenue cannot continue in
definitely without serious injury to mu.
nicipal credit; but the most pertinent con-
sideration is that in justice TO the tax
payer II ought to cease at once.

Away from Home News,

1t is a trite saying that person
often has to go away from home to
get the news, and we find another
illustration of this adage In the special
political letter printed In the Pittsburg
Dispatch as from it's Columbus, o..
correspondent, as follows:
Word is coming to the Harmon propa-
ganda in this state, which is headed by
Lieutenant Governor Hugh L. Nichols, that
the Ohio executive is gaining ground every
day. They are pointing with especial glee
to the significant fact that the Omaha
(Neb) World-Heraid one Of the most in
fluential OF the Nebraska newspapers, Is
for Harmon. notwithstanding that a GER
tain talented orator, who resides in that
bailiwick. seems somewhat peeved over
the Harmon prospects, The fact that the
powerful Nebraska papers are turning in
the direction leads some to the conclusion
that Mr. Bryan will be found there himself
one day. since he does not appear to be
able to satisfy himself that any of the
other avowed candidates will do.
That the local democratic organ
was trying its best to boost the Har-
mon game without coming out in the
open has been diseernible to those
who look under the surface. but evil
IDENTIFY down east its editor-senator
has offered the Harmon managers his
cooperation, or more probably made
deal with them, so that they are
counting ON the delivery OF the votes
of the Nebraska delegates to the next
democratic national convention from
this source. II they really think they
can in the same way pull Mr.. Bryan
over into the Harmon game it is our
guess that they will have to guess a
second time.

Express INQUIRY and Parcels Post

Through the Interstate Commerce
commission the government has got
around to the. express company in it's
crusade OF investigation. 1t will look
into rates. classifications. regulations
and practices, to determine whether
express business comes within the pre-
scriptions of the interstate commerce
laws. II is announced that almost
coincident with this determination by
the government, most of the express
companies promulgated revised
schedule of rates, seeming, thereby, to
offer tacit admission of the unfair
ness of rates heretofore exacted. OF
course, the companies doubtless, will
seek to show that these new schedules
have no relation whatever to the gov
ernment's announced intention to in
vestigate. The public, which has been
paying the exorbitant charges, may,
however, draw its own conclusions.
While the government is making
this investigation, It will, doubtless,
take time to ascertain how certain ex-
press companies have declared extra
dividends recently of colossal proper
lions. There are many things equally
as remarkable that will come In for
explanation. No sort Of public utility
corporation is commonly believed to be
quite as vulnerable when it comes to
methods of business and extravagant
earnings as the express company and
the searchlight OF official inquiry
turned upon 1t will be quite timely.
1t Is well enough to proceed with
the inquiry, but why should 1t not be
we'll also to make this the beginning
of the end of the express company as
at present conducted and let the postal
department Of the government take
over the traffic that belongs to It by
creating system of parcels post? Con-
gress has dallied away most of the
time of this session, so that 1t may not
be expected to do anything to meet
this public demand, but the next SEES
sion should take action on 1t.

II is difficult to credit the democrats
with good faith in their free list propo-
sition, which was passed in the house
and sent over to the senate as one of
the Intermediates by which they
hoped to embarrass the president in
his fight for Canadian reciprocity.
Without going into the merits OF the
latter, anyone can see at a glance that
this free list is all sham. as was pointed
out by President Taft in his New York
speech. in which he also riddled to
pieces that other democratic scare
crow, annexation.
Canada has listed the concessions IL
will make us in the reciprocity agree
ment. II will make no more, nor will
Il ask more of us than we have listed
in that same agreement. Why, then,
should the United States voluntarily
make additional tariff concessions to
Canada? OF course, Canada might ac-
cept them, but IL we got nothing in
return, which certainly would be the
case, what would we have gained by
the process?
But. as Mr.. Taft disclosed more than
two months ago, even voluntarily Civ
ing Canada this advantage over us
would not be all. We would be setting
up a precedent that might have to
guide us with relation to other coun-
tries, which could come in and claim
these same concessions under the most
favored-nation clause 1t is difficult to
see why the shrewd democratic poll
ticians would urge proposition of
this kind, except that it is offered in
the name of principle--the principle
of free trade-but It is not even free
trade, for 1t gives all without getting
freedom of trade in return.

OF Importance to Nebraska.

The finding of the special master
appointed by the federal court for
South Dakota to the effect that a
2h-cent passenger ratio Is reasonable
and compensatory for railroads in that
state IL sure to be of special impor-
lance to Nebraska. whose 2-cent fare
law il being likewise contested in the
federal courts. To US 1t would seem
that the finding. II upheld. that IA
cents Ia a fair mileage charge for car
rying passengers in South Dakota will
be OF substantial advantage to Ne
braska In maintaining the reasonable
ness of the 2-eent charge In this state.
The difference in population. In length
Of haul, In volume OF trafnc and In
cost Of construction and operation al
between Nebraska and South Dakota
must all be in our favor.
Naturally and normally the infer
enee would be that the railroads
should be entitled to a schedule OF
rates In South Dakota a little higher
than in Nebraska. although whether
the variant conditions warrant = diff
ferential of a half-eent, equal to a re-
duction OF 20 per cent. would have to
be demonstrated by comparison OF &C

tual figures. II should be remem-
bered that we had this same sort OF
controversy in 1887, when passenger
rates in Nebraska we're by law reduced
from 4 cents to cents, but the re-
duction was gradually INDICATED and
Justified. Where Nebraska is ahead
OF South Dakota In this instance lies
In this, that our 2-cent fare law has
been already operative and observed
for four years, while in South Dakota
the 2-cent fare law never went into
effect because hung up in the courts,
and even now the az cent rate will
not be available still for an indefinite
period IL the railroads take an appeal,
which they are very apt to do.

A Last Word of Warning


Omaha has not gone the whole
length for a safe and sane" Fourth
Of July celebration, though 1t is to be
hoped we shall soon catch up with the
procession in this respect About all
that can be done, therefore, to prevent
accidents and suffering as result OF
indiscriminate use OF explosive fire
works here tomorrow is by individual
precaution and care. Perhaps parents
may help keep their children from
manning themselves or somebody else
by restricting them in the use Of
dangerous toys. II each household will
take 1t on itself to be as cautious as
possible in this way, it may serve a
very wholesome end. It amounts to
criminal neglect to let children haze
full sway in the use of deadly devices.
1t has been pointed out that the
killed and wounded In seven big battles
of the American revolution numbered
1,11s, while in the eight years from
July 4, 1903, to July 4, 1910, the
killed alone from fireworks totaled
1852 and the wounded $3.50.
Why pay such a frightful toll In
human life and limb for the privilege
of making life hideous on one day in
the year? It is mockery instead Of
a memorial OF the spirit of 1875.
II everybody will think, first of the
other person and then Of himself on
this Fourth, he will do lot for his
own and others comfort and safety.
This is asking little enough.

debtedness, which has given rise to this
large business, seems unlikely to be

City has ri en- from about sis 26 to S1s16;
and the average for twenty leading cities
in the United States during the same Pc
Rod has risen from 3lzis to s1sOs That
the increase In taxation has been due in
no small measure TO the rapid growth of
municipal debts is clearly indicated by the
