If---C. E. Johnson On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com pany testified that the claims of the railroad were sustained by the facts Two cents did not pay the cost oi carrying passenger d mile. The State however. Contended that the railroad was earning enough surplus on its state freight business to give q fair return upon the capital used lp its passenger as well as its freight business. For the purposes of the case, the railroad did not deny this, but held 10 its contention that the State could not segregate it's pas senger business for rate fixing with out allowing rate that would be sufficient to pay the cost Of doing business and enough to give some return upon the capital invested in doing the business regulated This was the issue presented to the Su- preme Court Its decision responds to the judgment of the fair-minded sentiment of the country. The Stu preme Court says that. even though a railroad earns surplus on par ticulay commodity by charging req sonable rates. that affords no reason for compelling 1t to haul another < person or property for less than cost. The surplus from reasonable rate properly belongs to the railway com pany 1T the surplus is earned from an unreasonable rate then that rate should be reduced The State may not even up by requiring the railroad to carry other traffic for nothing or for less than cost
 The decision is a wholesome one and demonstrates that the ordinary rules of fair dealing apply to railway companies The fact that one makes a surplus oa his wheat crop would never be urged as n reason for com polling him to sell his cotton at less than cost IL would not satisfy the man who wanted bread to be told that its high price enabled the cotton manufacturer to get his raw product for less than cost In this case tho court reaffirmed the homely maxim that each tub must stand upon its own bottom"

On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commis- sioners
 Managing a railroad is quite differ ent from managing a government where the money is raised by taxa tion. When the expenditures, for good reasons or otherwise. increase, taxes can be equally increased. The railroads, while servants of the pub lie. cannot raise money with such ease and facility. The railroads must keep their expenditures within their incomes because while they have some control over their expenditures they have almost no control over their incomes. their rates being fixed by public authorities.
 There is not a railway manager Tn the country today who is not fearful that under the press of increasing de- mands the transportation systems of the country will, in few years, break down, unless the railroads are allowed to earn larger funds wherewith to build it up. There are vast sections of the country, especially in the West. where more railroads are needed and they cannot be built unless the rail ways raise new capital.
 People invest money in order te make money, And they are skeptical as to whether they can make money by investing in concerns that are dealt with stringently and unfairly. Rail- road securities must be made more attractive to invite investments, and in order that they may be made more attractive, the roads must be allowed earnings that will enable them to meet the increased capital charges"

F. Johnson. president of the Nor contested the case to briefly review the suit Mir. Johnson said in part:
 Some ten years ago, passenger fares were fixed by the legislatures of a large number of states at two cents mile As basis for such economic legislation. no examination was made of the cost of doing the business so regulated. nor was any attention given to the fact whether such a rate would yield to the rail way companies an adequate or any net return upon the capital invested in conducting this class of business.
 Such law was passed in West Virginia in 1907 The Norfolk and Western Railway Company put the rate into effect and maintained it for two years It's accounting during these two years showed that two cents mile per passenger barely paid the out-of-pocket cost and noth, ing was left to pay any return on capital invested IL sought relief from the courts.

PLANS HEAVY CUTS IN APPROPRIATIONS GOVERNOR TO WELD AXE STATE INSTITUTION BUDGETS EXPECTED TO BE GREAT
 LY REDUCED.

Little Rock, March 20-Gov. Hays rday afternoon signed number of bills, most of them local. Among the bills approved is the one by Newberry giving married women the right to contract.
 Gov. Hays has not yet passed upon the appropriation bills and is waiting. until he gets all of them so that he may have a basis to work upon. It IS an assured fact that it is his pur- pose to make extensive cuts in the ap- proprlations, but just where it will be made he Is himself not fully decided as yet. It is probable that the insti- tutions will feel the ax the heaviest, and 1t is predicted that the general bill will not be seriously cut, as it is already held to a minimum. It will be the purpose of the governor to hold down the appropriations to within the limits of the probable revenues.
 The bills approved Friday include the following:
 II. B. 98 (Stafford) General stock law by initiative.
 Il. B. 31 (Newberry) Giving mar rled women the right of contract.
 s. B. 24S (White) Creating road improvement No. in Jefferson coun- ty.

PAY REWARD FOR SISTER
MISS NORA HENRY, 15, IS RE TURNED TO HER HOME
 AT MT. VERNON.

Nora Henry, 15, daughter of George Henry, planter at Mount Vernon, was returned home yesterday morn- ing by her brothers, Herbert and Wayne. Miss Henry left home last Saturday to escape the drudgery of her domestic life, she said. She was captured after less than week of liberty in Heber Springs, where she had hired herself as house girl to a family of that city. Immediately after she ran away her brothers of fered a reward of $100 for her cap ture and return. Before their de- parture for Conway yesterday they drew a draft for that amount which was divided between Patrolman Duck worth and City Detective Pitcock of Little Rock.
 The capture of the Henry girl is the third recorded in this part of the state recently. Nellie Williford, who ran away from her home at Jackson vile in February was found near Pine Bluff last week and returned to her home by justice of the peace at Jacksonville.

HOPES ROAD LAW
 WILL BE ADOPTED
DIR. M|LLAR FAYORS IT
SAYS HE WOULD PAY THIS TAX MORE CHEERFULLY THAN
 ANY OTHER.

In personal letter to the editor of the Log Cabin Democrat, pr. A. c. Millar, editor of the Western Meth odist and former president of Hendrix College, expresses the hope that the Condray road law will be ratified by the people and says that he would pay road improvement tax on his lands in this county more cheerfully than any other tax. Calling attention to an editorial expression in his own pa per, which the Log Cabin Democrat had already reproduced, Dr. Millar writes:
 'I lived in Faulkner county long enough to learn to know and love many of it's people. I would not ad- wise them to do anything that would injure or oppress them, but I have seen enough of the world and studied the things that make for progress to be persuaded that the building of a system of modern improved roads in Faulkner county would be, next to it's schools and churches, the best possible thing for the people.
 "lf the improvements were carried out during the next two years many thousands of dollars would be brought from outside and spent among the people, and they would have a long period in which to pay it back and the increase in the value of farm lands immediately after the improve ments would be far more than the cost. It is probable that regular lines of passenger and freight motors would soon run to all parts of the county, so that the farmers would be able to be in close connection with the markets and schools. It would proba- ply develop truck farming and dairy ing end poultry raising all over the county so that the farmers would not be dependent on cotton.
 q own a block in Conway and a farm north of Conway, and shall pay the improvement tax on these more cheerfully than pay ary other tax"

 We have all had visions of the Man of Macedonia" but have usual ly thought of him as a stranger from afar. Too often we have not looked closely enough into his face to dis cover in him neighbor, a friend. the man who works with us, the boy who runs our errands, the woman who cooks our meals or sweeps our floors. It is high time that we become con- scious of the Macedonian in our midst the needs that lie all about us are so many and so familiar that we have ceased to observe them The cry for help IS near us, in our city, at our door, in our employ. Help theml They need the help of the Christian in their struggle against sin and wrong. We should take more interest in the Christian life of our servants. Too often We sit back and quietly enjoy our religion, and let each one go on his own way, victims of traditions and superstitions. We talk to them about other things, We instruct them in other ways, but how few of us teach them the simple truths of Jesus. How few of us inquire into their spir- itual and moral life into their belief and convictions. Let us not be con-
