ANOTHER HEARING MAY %.
GAME OF FREEZE OUT"

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has served notice ON the
Young Mems Business League
that an "oral argument will he
had at Washington, ID. c., on
May 22nd, for the further con-
slderation of the proposed ad-
vance in coal rates into Hickman
on the part of the n. c. 4 st. l..
Ry. Co. The League represent
ed by Vice Pres. VIM. c. Moore
head, of the National Light \
Power Co, of st. Louis, appeared
before the commission at New
Orleans last month. A hearing
was given the representative,
which, to all appearances, should
have been sufficient for forming
a logical conclusion, as the rail-
road was also represented. Nov,
why the expense of going OF
Washington to 90 over the same
thing, is hard TO understand. And
the facts are before the commits
sion.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission was created primarily for
the protection of small interests,
but if they are going TO force the
public to spend as much in tray-
cling expenses as the saving on
the coal bills would amount TO,
the commission is not fulfilling
its purpose.
BY ali means a representative
should be sent. These are old
corporation tactics-trying 20
wear the other fellow out. Stay
right with them, and Wen win
out.
This advance rate-from $l.20
to $l.50-would have gone into
effect Jan. /, had the League not
been on the job. The railroad
by reason of the hOld-off, has al
ready let slip a thousand or two
dollars. They hauled coal at
Sl20 when facilities for unload
ing river coal were up in trim,
but since these facilities have
fallen to decay, the railroad dis
covered that it is now worth $50
to make the same haul
There's a reason.
Five thousand dollars a year
looks just as big TO the citizens
of Hickman as it does TO the rail
road company, but to drop the
fight now means to pass the a.
mount over to the transportation
company.

seems mighty good to get back
home. journalistically, and have a
clean, wholesome paper to read
daily.

with me and had the daily till

took my daily news from that no
torious paper as one takes a dose
Of medicine, but without the cor
responding benefit.
Now l am with you again, or
rather you are with me. After
seeing paper like the have d

more than ordinary sense of fitness

Your recent editorials have been
interesting and valuable. The one

The car fares are high enough. but
if the railroads are really strapped"

and not have them through the

convinced that one of the big fights
Of the immediate future is to be
this anti-tobacco crusade, and the

We should be a little nearer having
wings than is the average newspaper
man, did we not feel grateful to this
writer from far northern Maine. In
Of all sides and shades of life, and he
undoubtedly appreciates the accumu-
lated value of steady, day after day,
wearing away at the Notifications of
evil. He understands that we could
dig ourselves in" as a moral battery
and then sit tight, secure from the
enemy and no sort of menace to them.
We could have more friends, because
we would offend not even the skulkers
and snipers OF the enemy.
To our mind, such a course would be
as sinful and as much worse than use
less, as is the course of those who give
assistance to immoral agencies and
evil business. TIE first is omission,
the second commission. We have done
our physical and mental best to avoid
both these sins. We have whacked at
evil heads when we knew that the
blow would rebound and injure us,
but it seemed duty. and we find that
such intelligent men as the writer of
the above agree with us. AS he sug-
gests, few take the time and effort to
h,,G
earnestly and sincerely that we feel
repaid
Our friend writes: How cheaply
we hold human life,' The Public
Utilities Commission has not hesitated
to nail the blame for much loss of
human life at blind crossings. Follow.
ing our recent editorials urging that
bushes be cut away from curves in the
highway and at railway and other
crossings, and that red lights be
thrown up at grade crossings by the
block signal system, the Public Utili-
ties Commission has issued a warning
to selectmen throughout the State.
We believe the railroad officials will
do we'll to consider our suggestions,
They must not appear to hold human
life too cheaply. and every life now
lest at blind crossing will cause the
people to ask: How much would a
signal at that point have cost the rail-
road"
One thing at time, Of course. but
some things stand out large as of first
necessity in the processes Of elimina-
ton. Let us have the bushes at curves
and crossings cut away. Let US have
signals at dangerous places.
