MUNICIPAL SINS COME HOME.

Nashville's unfortunate experience IN com
mission government is, paradoxical as it may
SEEM a strong argument in favor of such gov
eminent when rightly operated.
The New York World thus commented on the
in the Tennessee city:
The commission form of government for cities,
hailed everywhere not long as certain to bring
relief from municipal extravaganza and corruption,
has broken down IN Nashville, Tenn, which is now,
by action Of the state chancellor in the hands of
receiver Under the old charter system no such
action could have been taken.
Even in states where the commission has been
adopted, relief from wrong-doing is to be had in
most cases only by means of the recall. Tennessee
has an custer act under which single judge is
authorized to remove city government and estab- !.
sh new one in its place Nashville has devel-
oDed than its share of .delinquents in munich
pal service, but il remains to be proved whether
judicial correction is any more certain in its results
than the old-fashioned house-cleanng that
dained at the polls.
What the World says is true. Further, the
election of careful, prudent and competent Off
Gals would have kept Nashville from its hu
initiating plight Under commission govern
ment sins of administrative omission or COM
mission come home more unerringly, more
sharply, perhaps more disastrously, than under
the older FORMS Power is concentrated in the
hands of a few men and they must be good men.
American cities are coming to find out that

SHARP NOTE TO Mr.. REED
From a staff Correspondentl

From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Feb. ESPECIAL D-Callmg
upon Attorney General Willis Reed to
familialiye himself with the law before
he attempts to criticize the State Rail
way commission, is the way the railway
commits ion gets back at the legal repre-.
sentative of the state for his letter of
yesterday. telling tho commission that
thy must consult his office when seek
ing advice relative to present proceedings
before the Interstate Commerce commits
sion. Tire letter is as follows
Tie tone and contents of your letter is
entirely unwarranted and the publishing
of same, without first advising the COM
mission of your attitude, disCloses a pur-
pose to inject, for the first time, politics
into a situation which is already diff
cult enough, rather than a sincere desire
TO assist.
Special Qualities Needed.
While you might not realize 1t, it IS
those who know the facts, that com
mcrce law" so-called, has become as
much a specially in the law as patent or
admiralty law. Neither YOU nor the mem
bers of your office have had any cXperi-
CnCe in that branch of the law. For that
reason this commission has not seen tit
to call on your predecessors in the dttor-
ney generals office, all of whom, with
tie exception OF Mr.. Mullen, have leen
republicans, for assistance in cases pend
ing before the Interstate Commerce &C m
mission. This commission has handled
many cases before the Interstate Com
merce commission with uniform success,
and but once i'm the eight years of its eN-
istenCe has il seen fit to employ ITS own
counsel in such cases. II is fitting to
add that in only one other case. during
tire period when the Hon. w. T. Thomp-
son 50 ably represented this state as at
torney general. has this commission EN-
Iloyed special counsel These facts irso
faCto arc Suffi lent answer to the I'M
called for suggestion contained in your
letter that the politics of this commission
has in any manner influenced the com
mission in its failure to solicit the as
sistance of so eminent an attorney as
yourself
No Duty Imposed by Law.
The commission is authorized to call on
YOU for advice, and for constructions OF
the law. and YOU are required 70 tlNe
them ia writing when asked for; likewise
IL appear in behalf Of the Conlmtssi on
when it's orders are in litigation in the
courts but there is no duty imposed upon
the commission requiring 1t in Interstate
Commerce proceedings to avail itself OF
your transcendant legal atalnments UNI
less it desires 50 to do.
In conclusion the commission quotes
the statutes with respect TO the employ
ment of srecial counsel and sets forth
that 1t has authority to employ special
attorneys whenever in funds and it deems
the Importance o: the case sufficient to
warrant the outlay.

WASTAGE OF THE CONSUMER
Cutting Of City Markets With coun-
try Produce Does Not Materially
Lower Prices.

Oversupply cuts prices, especially
when the product is perishable. But
the Cutting of city markets with coun-
try produce does not lower the cost
of living. On the contrary, the consul
-ner pays for the necessary wastage.
Cooperation among farmers and CO.
ordination in distribution is therefore
as much to the advantage of the city
dweller as to the producer. This is the
moral pointed by Doctor Meeker be-
fore the American Economic associa-
ton, says New York Evening Mail.
The unorganized condition of the farm
ing industry is one of the causes Of
the high cost of living. The agricul-
tural departments of nation and state
are busy teaching the farmer how to
raise bigger crops, how to secure bet
ter yields of garden truck. This alone
is teaching him how to lose more
money and how to increase the cost of
living in this city. When these gov.
ernmental agencies teach the farmers
how to market their crops we will
have the apparent contradiction OF
higher profits for the farmer and lower
cost of living for the city folk.

GOOD FRIEND OF RAILROADS
Increase Freight Rates-Influ-
ence Of the Shippers

Farmers in the great agricultural
states of the West are undoubtedly in
sympathy with the railroads in their
efforts-to get increased freight rates,
but the farmer ordinarily gets no hear
ing in this connection" said F. A.
Johnson of Topeka, Kan, to a Wash
ington Post reporter This is shown
by the action of some of the farmers
associations recently in coming out
squarely on the side of railroads.
There can be no question that the
shippers represented by merchants,
manufacturers, miners, millers and
lumbermen have welded a great in
fluence against the roads, and it was
through the thorough organization OF
protective associations of the ship
pers that the railroads were pre-
vented from advancing their rates.
"The farmer is more directly inter
ested in getting his crops to market
than are any other persons. and the
farmers of my part of the country
have been brought to understand that
until the railroads are able to go ahead
with extension work and keep VI
their equipment in proper shape, the
facilities for getting their crops tc
market will be inadequate, and the
farmers are therefore on the side Of
the railroads"
