TEST EFFECT OF
RATE REGULATION
Express Companies Report to
Interstate Commission.
DEFICITINSOME MECASES.
u Is Said That Earnings Would Be
Reduced From 1896 To 3o.6 Per
Cent. Under the Proposed
New Schedule.

Washington. To demonstrate to the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
effect of the reduced rates it proposes,
the express companies have reported
that had the proposed rates been in
effect on October %. test day selected,
the reductions in their revenue would
have ranged from 496 to 800 per cent.
The days receipts for the Adams
would have been reduced $1S,291, or
23.6 per cent; the American, S19,S24,
or 24.2 per cent; the Southern, S9,07S,
or 306 per cent; the United States,
s10,419, or 22.3 per cent. and the
Wells-Fargo $16,S32, or 25.2 per cent.
These FIVE companies assert that the
application OF the reductions would
have resulted in a total loss of $24,-
e96,04725 in their business for the
year ended June 80, 1912, equivalent
to an operating deficit of SAP cents
for every dollar of gross transpocta-
tion revenue collected
The Great Northern Express Com
pany shows a reduction of 1901
per cent which would have produced
deficit based on the business of the
last fiscal year of s3,320. The North.
ern Express Company figures a reduc-
tion Of 173 per cent, which would
leave its earning power less than IA
per cent. on the capital stock"
The Western Express Company S
estimated loss of revenue would be
&.e6 per cent. This is explained by
the fact that it operates under rates
fixed by some state legislatures at a
comparatively low figure The Globe
Express Company, another Western
corporation, also is operating undeI
rates fixed by many states.
No intimation is given by tho com
mission as to when it will enter ar
order in the express investigation. bur
it is expected some time in the spring
and probably will be made effective
two or three months later.

RESENT TAX IN GERMANY
Complaint by Foreigners on New In
surance Levy-Workers Espe-
ciaily Feel Burden.

BeTlin.-Foreigners employed In
Berlin and other German cities whose
salary or income is 500 a month or
less are complaining bitterly over the
new government insurance law which
went in effect the first of the year
This new law suspends all private
sick insurance, which is replaced with
government insurance system. 1t
is compulsory on foreigners residing
in the empire as we'll as on Germans.
So far as foreigners are concerned,
it affects principally teachers. govern
esses, office employees. etc The an
nual cost varies from s. a year for
those whose salary does not exceed
S125 year to SIS annual premium
for those whose salary is between $50
and S100 a month
The law provides that half of th@.
cost of insurance must be paid by the
employer and half by the insured. AS
salary of 500 a month also calls
for an annual income tax of $40. such
an employe is compelled to pay 50 a
month for tax and insurance.
Should the insured leave Germany
permanently during the first ten years
he has no claim for the .return Of
premiums paid and loses his rights to
benefits under the act AS the major
ity of foreigners remain only two or
three wears, coming largely for the
purpose of studying. few will have
claims on the premiums paid
Only such persons as were insured
in foreign insurance companies doing
business in Germany are exempted
from the provisions of the law. There
is but one American company doing
business in Germany.

IMMIGRATION BILL VETOED.
President Objects To the Lteracy
Test.

Washington.-Pre Taft vetoed
the Dillingham; immigration
bill, which would revolutionize the i'm
migration policy OF the United States
by imposing a literacy test upon all
foreigners seeking home in America.
In a short message to the Senate in
his own handwriting the President an

which would lock the doors Of the
united States against the alien who
could not read some language or

The veto message was accompanied

Boy Escapes Reformatory and
Turns Over New Leaf.
Youth, Now Married, Writes Mother
Superintendent of School He Es-
capped From Causes His Arrest
and Governor Is Asked to
Pardon.

Denver, Colo-Victor Hugo's story
of Jean Vatican in Les Miserables"
is duplicated in many of the circum-
stances surrounding an eighteen-yea
old Colorado boy who three years ago
ran away from the industrial school
at Golden, worked himself into q good
position and then, year after he had
been married to a Des Moines, Iowa.

relentless as Hugo's Inspector Javert.
Six years ago Rosie E. Sheldon's ia
ther died at Glenwood Springs. A
year later the boy was sent to the in
dustrial school for boys at Golden as
mother had lost all control over him
and it was at her request that he was
taken IN charge by the state.
The state made poor job OF reform
ing Sheldon. Its method of curing
high spirits did not succeed, and Shell
don ran away. The first few times he
ran away he was caught and brought
back. Early in 1910 he managed to
slip away and stay lost The officers
looked for him few weeks and then
gave up the search, although they did
not forget.
Sheldon went to Des Moines. Iowa,
and there started out to do what the
big state of Colorado had not been
able to do He started out to reform
himself
He got a job in the big Cownie glove
factory at $40 week, commenced to
save his money and to go to night
school Before long his salary was
raised, and then pretty soon it was
raised again, and he was given re-
sponsible position.
A little more than a year ago he
met and fell in love with the oaugh-
ter of a Des Moines business man.
The two were married and started
housekeeping. Sheldon was so happy
that he wrote to his mother in Den
yer to tell her about his wife and the
baby had just come. He told her the
new name he had taken when he ran
away from the reform school.
The mother told some of her friends.
Sheldon's younger brother, now in the
school, heard where his brother was,
and through some of these sources
Superintendent Fred L. Paddleford Of
the industrial school board heard
where his runaway had gone.
1t was not long thereafter that Chief
of Detectives johnson of Des Moines
arrested Sheldon and took him to jail.
Sheldon told the story to the detective
and begged to be released Dispatch
es that carried the story did not state
whether the detective had ever heard
of Jean Vatican and the good bishop,
but it is in the role of tho bishop that
Detective Johnson figures from now
ou.
He promised the boy that although
he couldn't let him go he would take
an appeal direct to the governor of
Colorado and ask him to grant par
don to the runaway boy who had made
good.
Governor Shaforth said that he
would act in the case as soon as it
was officially called to his attention
and would take whatever action the
facts might warrant.
Superintendent Fred L. Paddleford
of the school declared that the boy
must be returned to the school for
the sake of discipline"

S SuLZER A MODERN JEFFER.
SON?

When Thomas Jefferson rode into
Washington aid hitched his horse to
the fence and walked to the capital
and took the oath of office, Washing
ton was but mere village. Mr.. JET
ferson lived in the country and horse
back riding was the usual mode OF
travel, so there was nothing peculiar
w striking in the incident. Surely 1t
was not intended as play to the gal
leries. But in this day things have
changed. Some of our cities have
grown to be as large as empires, and
mode of travel. At the time of his
Inauguration Mr.. SulZer is not only
reported to have walked to his inau-
duration, but he is reported to have
worn a SLOUGH hat a "medianary' suit
of clothes, smoking a cigar and con-
versing with a joking rabble. If true,
it seems to us that it is not only
straining but OVERRIDING the Jefferson
ian act There are times and occa-
sicns when these stunts are out of
place, and surely assuming the reins
of government of an empire, such as
New York state is now. is one of
those times.
1t is a mistake not to believe that
the "plain people" know nothing of
taste and do not possess good man
ners.
Speaking along this line the New
York Evening Mail says:
America has produced no palmer
citizen than Abraham Lincoln, and
none with a keener sense of official
dignity. He always appealed to the
hearts and aminds of the people rath-
er than to their eyes or ears. He,
better than any other American, knew
the masses of his countrymen and
their readiness to resent claptrap.
Governor Suffers attitude on the
real control of the public service
commission, with it's power over the
railways and a billion dollars Of cap
italized wealth in the form of tele-
phone and telegraph companies and
city transportation lines, and the
character and affiliations of the men
he appoints to office, as we'll as the
men who are to be his actual advis-
ers, will prove his knowledge of and
sympathy with the plain people more
than words or clothes"

that General Jackson was military

My old friend also told me that
when Governor Eaton came to ITALIA

having been grass widow before
