ALDERMAN HURD
TELLS OF PAVING
WORK AT SELMA

Alderman O. p. Hurd Jr.a al the
special city council meeting Monday
night when the subject arose con-
cerning the service given by tho
street cleaning contractor, gave an
interesting account of how the
streets at Selma, Alabama, were
kept clean at very small expense
compared to the present cost of this
work in Cairo He says Selma has
about the same number Of miles OF
brick strets as this city and that the
streets are much better cleaned than
here at half the cost. Two patent
sweepers are used, pulled by one
horse. The streets do not have to
be sprinkled before sweeping to pre-
vent raising the dust In the opera
ton as the dust and dirt is thrown
directly by the revolving sweeper
Into a receptacle on the apparatus
which does not permit Of the eS-
cape of dust When the receptacle
| is filled the contents are dumped
automatically into larger receptacle
at the side OF the street and hauled
away later by the regular city force,
There Is no handling, at any time,
| the sweepings by the use Of shovels
| Alderman Hurd Is familiar with tbs
| work done at Selma as he makes a
Business trip to that city every few
weeks. Julius P. Schuh Of this city
has a mill at Selma and has also re.
marked on the good work of this
sweeper. Alderman IIurd says hi
would suggest a trial of one OF thes
| sweepers on Cairo streets to provC
that they are the machine for us,
here. They cost $3.50 each and thu
manufacturer will send one with tn,
understanding that If it is not per
fectly satisfactory it can be re
| turned.

The argument for lower rates for
the Columbia river points is based on
the fact that the cost of service to
the Columbia river is lower than II
the sound because the freight hauled
to the sound must so over a noun
famous grade. The Journal would
give Astoria lower rates than are
given Seattle and contends that
Portland should then he given an
even lower rate than Astoria BECAUSE
Of the shorter haul.
1t is a very logical proposition and
the advocates of that plan will be
indicated if in fixing freight rates
the interstate commerce commission
allows nature to take its course,
There is only one just way for the
commission to fix freight rates and
that is on the basis of the cost of SER
vice. That involves consideration of
distances. grades and perhaps other
features. Since the haul to Port
land and Astoria Is along a water
grade it naturally follows that freight
may be hauled to those points cheap
er than to Puget sound and the rates
should be lower accordingly.
BY the same reasoning it can be
shown that with reference to trans
continental freight towns in eastern
oregon and Washington are entitled
t. lower rates than are any of the
coast cities. The cost of service
from Chicago to Pendleton is plain
ly less than the cost of hauling
freight to Portland or Seattle. The
policy of allowing railroads to grant
low rates to terminal cities is wrong
liz principle. 1t is nothing but ia
voritism. 1t is not just to allow such
rates on the theory of meeting water
competition. When water competiti-
on is met in that manner it is met
at the expense of inland points. 1t
also subjects steamship lines to un-
fair competition. 1t is uncomfortable
that such a policy will be allowed af-
ter the regulatory machinery of the
government gets into good working
trim.

A beginning has been made, how
ever. and that is something. For
years past the census reports and
the agricultural department have
scrupulously kept the world informed
as to the volume n quality of the
crop at its every stage, playing into
the hands of market manipulators
and 10 the detriment of the farmer.
The latter has been handed few or
40 compensatory features. He has
not for instance. been given any Of
fetal data of the dimensions of
worlds consumption. armed with
which he might have kept his acreage
within reasonable bounds and been
encouraged to make sacrifices to hold
his output until prices reached the
level indicated by demand.
In other words, the farmer has
been growing his cotton in complete
light and selling it in absolute dark
ness. The anomaly is so unjust and
indefensible that the wonder is it
should not long ago have been dis
sipated, With broadening amend
ments, the Smith bill should be made
law with the least possible delay.

If the sentiment in Wisconsin is
any index to the popular feeling re-

the New Jersey man will prove to be
by great odds the popular choice for
democratic nominee for president. In
Wisconsin the opposition to Wilson
concentrated on Champ Clark. The
Harmon headquarters were closed
some time prior to the primary and
no fight at all was made for Under
wood. But even with the allies con-
centrated against him Governor Will
sen won out in Wisconsin by more
than a two to one vote. The final

$4,000 votes while Champ Clark drew
but $4,000. Wilson is the choice of
Wisconsin people and Wisconsin
