Monday sweeping reduction
in express rates all over the coun.
try was put into effect. The cut
equals nearly so per cent. The
express companies two years ago
aid cut in two rate would bank
rupt them, but see how quickly
they cut the rates when they
have to.
The same are the conditions of
the railroads. They are talking
as the express, companies talked
five years ago. But if, the Gov
eminent were to put a competing
line of railroad everywhere a
tailroad is now built and put pas
senger rates down to one cent
a mile and cut freight rates down
to one-half, the private owned
roads would do the same thing.
''Uompetition is the life of
trade" and that is why the sale
of the l.. d E. railroad to the l..
& N. should be annulled as the
Sfate Constitution provides. All
persons know that the cost of
mileage books have advanced
aimee the merger ESQ, and freight
rates on lumber and some other
timber articles by the car load
has advanced 1000. And it was
this advance on lumber that caus.
ed Mr.. Geo. TOmlinson to aban-
don the idea of putting in a large
planning mill In the old handle
factory building after he had
bought the property and com
pleted plans to So do. The mer-
ger has worked against Clay City's
advancement, and everyone
knows it. Other towns between
jackson and Clay City have like
wise suffered.

The United States Agricultu-
raj Department report show that
in this country there are nine
less cattle, seven less sheep and
three less hogs for every 100 peo-
pie than there was four years
ago. Does not this explain why
live stock are so high? The farm
ers are not to blame for this.
They are nothing to the city
man. The farmer has quit rails
ing them on large scale because
he can make more money follow
ing something else. Let the city
people give better prices for
their meats or go to the country
and produce them themselves.
Or better still let them devise a
plan to cut out the middle man
profit. The middle man gets
more out of beef than the far
mer does. Regulating the prof
its after the animals leave the
farm is the secret of cheaper
meats in the city.

The Colorado newspaper mt IA
have passed resolutions to support
"a 2-cent rate for carfare in their
State. There is but one paper in
Kentucky for such a law. Watch
results in Colorado. We would
be willing to wager that the 2
cent rate becomes a law with no
delay. A united effort on the
part of the newspapers of State
can secure any needed reform.
