PRELIMINARY TESTIMONY ENDS
i. c. c. Completes Hearings in Com
pectiou with Free Allowances.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday finished taking preliminary
testimony in connection with so-called
free allowances made by railroads TO
shippers in Eastern territory. This tes-
timony is to be made a part of the rec
ord in the application Of the carriers
for an increase of 5 per cent in freight
rates. Commissioner Harlan stated that
additional testimony will be taken, and
indicated that hearings will be held in
several cities on the subject.
The three days hearings which closed
yesterday indicated that the large ship
pers In the big centers would oppose any
effort to compel the railroads to make
additional charge for present terminal
services. Louis d. Brandeis. who rep
resented the commission in the hearing,
has taken the position that these term
inal services threw an undue burden on
the carriers, depicting their revenue, at
the same time affording undue discrimi-
nation against small shippers.

sUsPENDS RATE INCREASES.
j. c. c. Acts in Case of Electric Car
Fare to Somerset.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday suspended the proposed in
creases in the electric railway passenger
rates between Somerset, Nd, and the
District. The new rates which would in
crease the rate to twice the present
amount were to go into effect February
q, and were suspended until June n
According to the proposed schedule, the
fare from Somerset TO the District line
would have been 5 cents or a car ticket
and the ride in the District would have
cost another fare. The proposed new
ruling also provides that a Communication
book covering sixty rides between Somer-
set and the District may be had for
$3.50
Soon after the electric company gave
notice of its plan to increase the rates,
the residents affected by the order enter
ed a formal protest with the commission,
and 1t was declared yesterday that hear
ings on the matter probably would start
soon.

A CARNIVAL OF POLITICS.
IWaterloo Courier.]

John F. Dalton, one OF the dominat-
ing voices OF the Iowa democracy, de-
clares that his paper, The Democrat.
Is against the short ballot because IT
takes too much power out OF the hands
Of the hands of the people and places
II In the hands of either one man or
commission appointed by some man or
set of men that can hardly be trusted,
all the time, by the people. Better go
back to annual election" saws Dalton,
and elect half the officers one year
and half the next.
The only trouble with Mr.. Dalton's
prescription is that for mild political
misrule he would substitute carnival
Of politics. The fact that the people
are given the chance to select all their
public officials sounds well. In reality
it is snare and a delusion. For when
the voters capacity to know his men
has been reached. what becomes OF
his balloting power? 1t Is not used. In
it's lieu, mere chance or political
strategy determines who shall be
chosen. Theoretically the voter would
rule If there were 500 to 1000 names
on the ballot. But nobody will contend
that practical popular rule would be
possible under such circumstances. And
yet, with only thirty or forty positions
to be filed by ballot, 1t is as certain
that large proportion of the candi-
dates. perhaps a majority, will not be
known to tine voter as 1t would be TX
there were a thousand names to be
considered.
The proposition OF whacking the
ballot in two and voting for half the
list one year and the half the next
can not be taken seriously. A general
election campaign every two years
sandwiched with municipal cam
paign. is quite enough politics for any
body not engaged in the profession.
Under the short ballot system the
people are safe. Any officer with the
power Of appointment would think too
much OF his own political administra-
ton to appoint corrupt or inefficient
snbordinates. The short ballot is a
success wherever 1t is tried, and II
is popular with all but the politicians.
