Bringing Order Into the Express Business

BY the Interstate Commerce Commissions order
Of yesterday the operations of the express com
panies are at last put upon proper public service
basis The companies fought regulation for many
years They long evaded classification common
carriers under the interstate commerce law and
exerted all their influence to prevent the extension
of the parcel post. When back in the Harrison adj
mipistratlon Postmaster General Wanamaker tried
to modernze the parcel post system he said that
there were only four good reasons against il, and
they were the four big express companies
The Hepburn law brought the express companies
under the supervision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and thus served notice that the old
INDECENT system Of monopoly must come TO an end
The commission investigated the business methods
of the companies and found Them extremely lax
The pubic had already satisfied itself that the rates
wore arbitrary and exorbtant The order now
issued will reduce rates materially on packages
weighing less than fifty pounds on which the worst
overcharces were made and will sweep out Of exist
ence the muddled tariffs with which the companies
confused both the public and themselves. The in
penious tariff fxers had 9000O00o0 different rates
70 work on Hereafter under the block system there
will be only 10000 published rates, affecting $50
subdivisions Of territory.
The commissions action ought to help to bring
order into business which has long been conducted

Fair Play for the Railroads.

The Western railroads have organized a campaign
against the low freight and passenger rates for
ntrastate traffic established by recent state laws
rlany Of these rates were suspended in the lower
federal courts on the ground that they were confs
catory. But the Supreme Court in It's decisions
this spring held that in the main they would have
10 stand because the evidence presented by the
railroads TO prove them confscatory was made
Quate The court did not decide that the rates
were not conhscatory but only that the railroads
had not used the proper accounting methods in fore
casting their effect on earnings and values.
Pubic opinion will probably be behind the rail-
roads IN their complaint against oppressive state
regulation. If the roads, nearly all Of whose bust
ness Is interstate in character were left under the
supervision of the Interstate Commerce Commission
they could get along, since regulation from the
broad interstate point of view IS likely to be farer
than regulation TO meet local demands IN one state
or another The less the power of state regulation
is invoked the better 1t will be for the general pup
lie and the railroads The ideal system would ne
intrastate rates conforming to interstate rates fixed
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
Most sensible people now realize that the rail-
roads have been treated pretty shabby IN recent
wears The government invites and expects them 10
enter into wage arbitrations which involve constant
increases in expenditure, their taxes are steadily
mounting and the cost Of equipment Is rising yet
they are prevented by the government from taking
the natural economic step of raising rates in order
70 restore the balance between outlay and income
The railroad Is about the only enterprise IN the
country which is being always required to pay OUT
more and to take in less That attitude on the part
If the federal and state governments is unreason
able and unjust Every friend of the square deal
ought to help TO put end to the UNFAIR pressure
10 which the railroads are being subjected

The Great Duty of Defeating
IammanV


District Attorney Whitman's duty is plain. he
must accept the fusion nomination. He must run
again for his present office He must lend his great
personal strength to the defeat Of Tammany HAIL
The obligation to serve the city outweighs all
other considerations The District Attorney should
set an example Of this service. 1t is sadly needed
after the recent spectacle of shabby wire pulling to
which the public has been treated in the name OF
non-partisanship and civic disinterestedness. For
meaner exhibition of petty politics has never oeeh
made than was given by this self-consttuted BODY
of protested comparisons Many of its members
never arose above the standards of Tammany
ward meeting.
They betrayed the cause of nOnpartisanship III
city elections by keeping national politics uppermost
in their deliberations Part of the majority was
pulled by strings from Washington and represented
the Presidents meddlng in local politics. The other
part was busy trying to keep the breath Of life III
the Progressive party. So much for their fine pro-
fessons Of forgetting partisanshp in city elections
And they betrayed the interests of the city by
putting up the weakest Of the three leading candi-
dates for Mayor. If by doing so they have be-
slowed a victory upon Tammany Hall the meddling
President and his Progressive allies will have a
grave consequence to answer for.
It is because of what Tammany victory means
10 the city that The Tribune is determined to sup
port Mr. Mitchell for Mayor and urges Mr.. Whitman
TO contribute his strength to the Mitchell ticket
The Tribune would have preferred either Mr. Whit
man or Mr. McAneny to Mr.. Mitchell. The popular
desire for Mr. Whitman as a candidate was plainly
indicated Mr.. Mitchell will be much weaker can
didate than either of his rivals would have been
The fusion politicians have made the work of de-
feating Tammany hard when It should have been
easy. But they have not made 1t impossible If the
public can he induced to swallow its disappoint-
ment and perceive that the issue Of defeating Tam
many Hall is infinitely larger than that presented
in any single personality.
Mr. Mitchell will not make the best Mayor who
could have been obtained, but he will make an ac-
ceptabe Mayor and his election is vastly to be pre-
ferred to that of any who will wear Boss
Murphy's label

Lawrence. Kan. May 29.-Out of the
tangle of the coaching situation at the
University of Kansas came the an
nouncement that Coach Minnesota

tions for the position.
Former Coach Bert Kennedy was bid
ding for the position of hea- coach to
take the place of Arthur St Leger
Mosse But the students and a ma
iority of the faculty wanted Coach
Frank.
Mosse has been at odds with Frank
all season and in order to promote har-
mony in the coaching staff for next
season be did not recommend Frank
for the position. Now Frank and Mosse
have patched up their differences and
have agreed to bury the Ratchet.
Prospects for next year are bright
in every line of athletics Several indi-
vidual stars from the freshman squads
will give Kansas a wonderful aggrega-
ton of athletes next year. With the
coach situation settled, and the big
game practically assured for Kansas
City next year, the Jayhawker rooters
are feeling mighty fine, indeed
