How long must the people continue
to pay express companies profit OF
40 per cent year on money that is not
invested in the express business, and
that exists in blue air only?
This is a question that the people
desire answered. Judging from the
ever increasing number of complaints
on this subject that are being made
in all parts of the United States. More
than score Of these complaints have
been lodged with members of Congress
within the last day or two Interest
in the subject seems to have been aug
mented by the subject seems to have
been augmented by the report OF
Prosecutor Frank Lyon, on the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
"Out here in Iowa we do not object
to having express compan les make a
good, liberal rate Of interest on money
actually invested" writes resident of
Ottumwa, Iowa. "The thing that
arouses our disgust it that the govern
ment permits the express com panies
to extort profit of from twenty i've
to fifty per cent on capitalization
that is two thirds water. | would like
to see parcels post established in this
country, such as they have in every
other first class nation on the face Of
globe. II we can't have a complete
system, why can't we have limited
system, at least, to be operated between
the larger cities and few Of the neigh
boring towns? This would act as
starter, at least, and pave the way for
more complete system"
Mr.. Lyon, in his report, shows that
the total incomes Of all the companies
amounts to $132,OO0,OO0 annually,
This sum, divided by the nun Der IF
tons hauled, shows that the charge
for carrying express matter is $3l.2O
per ton. The average express rate is
sixteen times the freight rate, the
latter being $l.90 per ton. The net
income from the express companies
operation is $11 100000, and on their
own valuation of $47,000,000, their
profit is shown to be approximately
forty per cent. 1t is known that the
actual value of the express companies
equipment is only about one third of
what they allege it il, SO that their
profits on the actual capital invested
runs up to more than one hundred
per cent.

Lewis OF Express Rates.

New York, Nov. 22.-An investi-
gation, urged by 211 com mercial organ
izatlons and many shippers in many
parts of the United States, to ascertain
II the express companies are exacting
excessive rates from the public, was
begun here today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The COM
mission will extend Its hearing to
various other cities and 1t is thought
that two months will be occupied in
the probe.
AT today's session Congressman
David j. Lewis, Of Maryland, who
favors putin : the express companies
under government ownership, produced
figures to show that express rates in
the United States are exorbitant in
comparison with those in Europe
In America, he said the express rate
is sixeeen times higher than the freight
rate, while in Europe 1T is only tive
times higher. The profits in 1909 of
he expess companies in this country
was Sl1 100000, being an increase Of
100 per cent on the investment.

Grimes Golden.

Where is the stately Mr.. Grimes,
the MODEST man of modern times,
whose apple soothes and pleases? He
surely is ersckerjack; I'd like to fold
him to my breast, and say: "Your APP
pie is the sbest that ever grew and
ripened; think SO much of you that
would share with you my pumpkin
pie, my taxes or nay stipend" o let
the good old name of Grimes be sound
ed by the evening chimes, and blaxon-
ed on the boarding; his apple drives
dull care away, and makes each heart
seem light and gay, down here where
L am boarding. o let the noble name
OF Grimes be handed down to future
times, mbalmed in Song and story;
his apple cheers, inspires, and thrills
incites to splendid deeds, and fills our
clearinghouse with glory. 'Twould be
The foulest of all crimes if nevermore
the name of Grimes should be on earth
paraded; for he has brought new de-
light-an apple that gods would bite
and has old Burbank faded o Grimes

balm upon your smarts: you've surely
reached the peoples hearts, and reach

The Reform Of DALLAS.

Following Galveston and Houston,
the city of Dallas took up the commits
sion form Of government and made 1t
SO completely democratic that its enc
mics charged it with being "populis-
tic" Dallas incorpoT Il into its char
acter the initiative, lAe referendum
and the recall. That the new form Of
government has worked well in the
four years it has been in operation in
Dallas is shown by some Of the re-
suits. A floating debt Of 1907 900 was
inherited by the old regime. This has
been wiped out completely, and the
sin king funds required by law estab-
lished. At the end Of the last fiscal
year they contained $4,000. From
this it will be seen than in less than
four years the savings Of the city have
amounted to 1854 900. In 1908 the pro-
amounted to $4,000 and these pro-
fits are being swelled with each sue
ceeding year.
The forward strides Of the city have
been so rapid under equickening in
flGence of good government conditions
that Dallas and the county in which
1t is located are preparing to build the
largest concrete viaduct in the world
at cost Of several million dollars. A
bond issue Of 100000 has been au.
thorized by the people for public i'm
provements, and well develop ed pro-
gram for the physical development of
the city has been laid out. A new sew
erage system is being undertaken, aud
Dallas citizens are preparing for an
other doubling Of population in the de-
cade ahead.
The city hall finds many opportuni-
ties to make its influence for greater
things count in indirect ways. 1t was
desirable that new municipal build
ing be erected, and to do this it was
necessary to dispose Of the old one.
SO the mayerEand the commissioners,
cooperating with the chamber of COM
merce, interested some St. Louis capt.
taists in hotel proposition and land
ed new 81 100000 hotel. They sold
the old city hall and made a new one
possible all in single deal. At the
same time they were trying to secure
the location of great Methodist uni
versity at Dallas, and in this also they
were successful.

by the government over eight wears

No decision, SO far as can be ascer

the withdrawal of the important off.
GERS of the various firms from the
board of the National Packing com.
pany be construed as a change in
method due to the prosecution.
The case stands where it stood when
the government first undertook to
prove that an illegal com bination in

The conspicuous important gentle.
men whose operations the govern.

peculiar and distinctive interest in

the alleged com bInation.
The contention of counsel for the
defendants is that the "great law abid.

the Sherman antitrust law is to be
