TWO SIDES OF \ QUESTION
4 Matter of Common Honesty

The Butte Miner calls attention
TO a wrong that every honest man
would like to see righted. 1t says:
'+Of late the railways have been
having a hard time Of it, what with
the interstate and state commissions
cutting down rates and making them
adopt expensive reforms for the pro-
lection and convenience on the one
hand, and the continual demand for
higher wages for their employees on
the other. The government itself is
setting the example of treating these
companies very unjustly, for it is
making them carry parcel post pack
ages without any additional compen-
sation for this service. Every three
ment weighs the mail for several
weeks carried by each railroad in the
United States, and the average Of
this weighing is the basis Of pay
ment received by the companies for
the next term of years. Since the
parcel post went into effect there has
not been a reweighing with the re-
suit that the roads have received nc
compensation for this extra service
demanded Of them by the govern
ment.'
This is true, and it suggests some
things worth thinking Of. To some
extent the government is taking
freight away from the railroads and
compelling them to haul it free
| while it is getting the pay. The size
of the package permitted by parce
post has been increased until now
the government is carrying much
that would go by freight, or, more
properly speaking, it is making the
railroads do the carrying while it i:
getting the pay for it. Leaving thi:
out Of consideration, however, tn
government is making the railroads
work for it for nothing while it il
also, thru its commissions, restrict
ing them in their charges to others
! This is nothing short OF robbery
and the government cannot afford t
go into the footpad business. Fo
a number of months the parcel pos
has been in existence, and it has al
. ready cost the railroads millions 70
which no return whatever has bee
made.
e This wrong will not be rectifie
merely by ceasing to practice i
When the government begins payin
the railroads for carrying the parce
post it will cease to rob, but it wi
not be honest until it makes rest
tution-until it pays for the wor
the railroads have done since tn
parcel post has been in existence
This it will never do. Except in d.
gree the delay in adjusting this ma
: ter is as dishonest as would be NAL
e ing the injustice permanent.
Another thing worth considerin
- is the fact that We can't judge VIII;
. the parcel post will cost by what
has cost. Some day it will not

just Earnings on Capital Stock"
At the meeting of the state rail-
road commission held in Ocala two
weeks ago in the long and short
haul rate cases-a similar hearing
TO that being held today in West
Palm Beach-it was brought out
that the Seaboard Air Line Railway,
which cost $4,000 and $4,000 per
mile to construct is bonded for s65,-
900 per mile. Truly the growth Of
property values in Florida passeth
all understanding
And as the supreme court Of the
United States has ruled that a rail-
read company is entitled to Just
earnings on its capital stock just
consider the leeway that is given
for earnings on that s65,000 per
mile basis.
It is all of tremendous interest.
Allowing the cost Of a mile Of road
at $4,000, the remaining $55, 600
must either represent considerable
watered stock or railroad property
must be Of even more enormous val
ne than Mr.. Average-Man has
thought it.
Have the earnings OF the Sea-
board Air Line made this value, or
the development Of the territory
along its right-of-Way? What would
the supreme court consider just
valuable enough to be mortgaged for
$4,000?
"Unbusinesslike" and absolute
y non-applicab BILE to railroad man
agement, however, are cogitations
like these from a mere Mr.. Average
Man. He should not have sucf

HODGES FOR
PROHIBITION
And Enforcement OF The
Prohibitory Law Liquor
Interests DispIeased

The state of Virginia has vot
ed ont the saloon and it is to be
noted that seven Of the nine pro.
hibition states have Democratic
Governors. 1t is in other states
as it is in Kansas, the prohibi-
ton law is more rigidly enforc-
ed under Democratic than under
Repu blican governors. Every
body admits and nobody denies
but that the prohibitory laws are
better enforced in Kansas today
than ever before and every body
knows that Governor Hodges is
the one candidate for Governor
who has been singled out by the
liquor interests for defeat and
that'bis defeat would be black
eye for prohibition.
The Kansas woman who wants
to protect her home and her boys
against the open saloon ought to
realize that a vote for Hodges
will most certainly accomplish
her purpose.

DRY FARMING
CONGRESS
Meets In Wichita October
7-l7 Will Be OF State
Wide Importance

The international Dry-Farm-
ing Congress, the ninth annual
session of which will be held in
Wichita, in conjunction with the
international Soil Products Ex-
position, October I'll. The con.
gress will bring together the
leading experts of the world in
scientific farming and the expo
sition will have on display prac-
tically every known device for
better far ming besides which
actual demonstrations of many
of the latest methods in farming
will be had. In short, the Con-
gress and Exposition will fur
nish complete education in
modern scientific farming. No
land owner in the Southwest can
afford to miss this opportunity.
The increased production that
would follow the adoption of bet
ter farming methods makes it
incum bent upon every business
man In the Southwest to not only
attend the Congress and exposi-
ton himself, but also to strongly
urge the farmers of his commn-
nifty to do likewise.
The business men of Wichita
are especially anxious to secure
a large attendance at the Con-
gress and Exposition from South
west Kansas, Western Oklahoma
New Mexico, and the Panhandle
of Texas, believing that the re-
sultant development of the ter
ritory would prove of mutual
advantage, and are endeavorlng
to arrange special through car
service over the Rock Island IN

Lyceurn Course

The first number of the Ly
ceum course will be given at the
opera house Friday evening,
October 9th. On this date Ar
thur Kacbel will appear in one
of his famous play-readings. Mr..
Rachel is gifted with a great
voice and a splendid imagination.
He has been wisely and thor
oughly trained. He has arrived
at that, place in his work where
he can he classed as a true ex-
ponent of the art. His work is
distinctive. He deals with the
moderh play, the live, the senti-
ent, the drama of the hour.
From information obtainable,
the course secured for this year
is an unusually good one and
in all probability will be well
patronized.
When the question of securing
Lyceum course was first dis
cussed it was by the business
men and Representatives from
each of the five churches, but
since that time the whole prop
osition has been taken over by
the high school, so in boosting
the Lyceum Course, you are al
the same time boosting one OF
the most important institutions
in the county-the County High
School. So suppose we all boost
and buy season tickets.
Reserved seats will be on sale
at the M & NJ Drug store Wed
nesday morning.
