SYSTEM
IS BREAKING DOWN

in them, that every shipper in Amer
lea must have equal rights in the
transportation OF his goods along
those highways and that rebates and
determinations OF all kinds must be
of the past and prohibited in the fu-
ture, and we must recognize that the
man who Is willing to invest his mon
cy at a moderate rate OF interest in
railroad securities is not exploiting
the public but is public benefactor.
1--WE must consider the wisdom Of
substituting one master for the forty
nine masters that regulate our COM
merce today. The main trouble with
the regulation Of our railway system
is that corporate law has been destruc-
tive. not constructive, has been piece
meal, not comprehensive.
1.-THE president of the United States
in his recent message to Congress has
recommended that a commission
should be appointed to give thorough
investigation to all the problems that
confront us in the field of transporta-
ton. AS | understand the purpose.
OF this investigation, 1t is not to hold
an inquest of what has happened in !
the past. If errors have been COM !:
mitted or injuries have been done,
that is a question for the courts and
not for legislation. The real purpose
to be accomplished by the investiga-
ton is to give an opportunity for all
concerned-the farmer the merchant,
those directly engaged in Transports
ton, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and the railroad managers
to appear before a committee Of Con-
gress and state their views in refer
ence to a solution Of this great prob
lem with the view in mind that in the
council OF many we shall find wisdom
to guide our legislative course.
LET us hope that the result Of this
investigation will be productive Of
wise legislation-legislation that will
build up and not MISREPRESENTATION
that will be helpful and not hurtful-
legislation that will bring lasting and

Der Of the handlcaps under which the
railroad system labored.
II there were no improvement, he
said the country would demand gov
eminent ownership. but such result
he thought would be unfortunate, and
he favored the Golden Mean" along
the lines ofprivate ownership and gov
eminent regulation.
I'VE must consider" he said, "the
wisdom Of government supervision Of
the issuance OF all securities by our
transportation companies with the
assurance to the public that new cap
ital will be invested to secure proper
facilities and used for legitimate pur-
poses-not for speculation. We must
assure the public that when they in
vest money in railway securities,
which are supervised by government
regulation, we stand for u system of
regulation which will allow the trans
portation companies to charge such
rates for carriage as will enable them
to properly meet their interest &C

The county OF Preston having late
ly voted on bond issue, will build
permanent road, among others,
from Evansville, which is only twelve
miles east of Grafton, through to
Oakland, Md, which will connect
with the permanent road direct to
Washington, Baltimore and other
points east. Now, if Clarksburg peo-
pie can secure an extension of the
brick road to Grasselli and on to
Bridgeport. and Simpson district
should build its road east to the
Taylor county line. the city of
Clarksburg would be connected with
a permanent road through to Cum
berland, 1t remaining only for the
county Of Taylor to build a little
over twenty miles from the Harrison
county line to the Preston county
line, and thus joining up the good
roads from the city of Clarksburg to
Washington, D. c. Let US all work
to this end: That permanent road
may soon be built from this city di-
rect to the great cities of the East.

income ever reaching sufficient sum
to make it necessary for them to pay

To this extent will the Democratic
deficit at the close of the fiscal year
be decreased. VIII the Democratic
leaders make any mention of the fact
that the war boosted the income tax
revenues? Not on your life! 1t will
be paraded as a vindication Of DEM

salvation today lies in the interna-

z Senator Stone is quite right in say
ing that If the Mexicans continue to
murder Americans we shall have to
go to war with the Mexicans.
But it is interesting to recall that
this is the same Senator Stone who
said that the murder of the Amer
leans on the Lusitania was none Of
our business

The longer the administration can

ready put it in that class.
President Wilson is going through
daily practice In side-sterplng on the
foreign policy. The majority in
Congress are doing some toe-danc-
ing on the question of preparedness.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo is
doing some astonishing stunts in net
balancing. Secretary Daniels is CIV

prospect of the European post-bellum
dumping policy has given Secretary
Redfeld the st. Vitus' dance. They
