One reason for the endless multi
plicity of legislative enactments is
the fact that certain classes of people
persistently seek to secure larger
degree of advantage than their fell
lows, and success is achieved In
about the degree to which their vot-
ing strength is mustered. The aver
age law-making body will pass bill

the farmers, with very little question.
The demands of labor are given Sec

One reason for this condition is that
the mercantile interests are seldom
very aggressive in clamoring for rec

that they seldom use their political

RUMORS OF PEACE
AFL0AT IN THE LAND.
OUR AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY
ON HIS WAY TO THESE
UNITED STATES.
MANY THINK PEACE MISSION
But Official Washington Says He Is
on His vacation-Emperor Re-
ported to Have Acked Uncle
Sam to Intervene.

Washington, Oct. S.-Official deni.
ais from all sides fail to down the
persistent reports that Ambassador
Gerard, returning from Berlin, is to
bring direct word from Emperor Will
liam asking President Wilson's in
tercession for peace.
Despite the fact that Count Bern
storff, the German ambassador, has
stated he knows positively that Mr..
Gerard is coming on no such mission,
and the state department was moved
by the persistency of the story to is
sue an official denial, it circulated
widely in official and diplomatic cir
cles and was seriously discussed as
possibility.
State department officials declared
that when Mr.. Gerard left Berlin for
Copenhagen he only intended to say
goodby to Mrs. Gerard, who was sail
ing for home, and at the last hour
determined to accompany her when
he received instructions from Wash
ington to take his vacation. The on
ly tangible element connected with
the story is complete set of de-
malls. Still, it has been pieced to-
gether from a chain of consecutive
events in such way that it is given
measure of credence both in En-
rope and the United States.
One possibility that stands out is
that President Wilson himself may
know some reason for Mr.. Gerard's
Homecoming that is not known at
the state department or the German
embassy.
Doubt Gerard Has Peace Plan.
Washington, Oct. THE state de-
partment's view of reports that Am
bassador Gerard is returning to the
United States from Germany prepar-
ed to seek mediation in the war on
behalf of Emperor William was ex-
pressed in this official announcement.

Railroad financial results for the

public through the Railway Age Ga
zette, show that net revenues for the
year crossed the billion mark for the
first time.
The net operating revenues for the
year were $1,176,s04, DOL, or $5,134 per
mile, as compared with S,56O,63s,

erage mileage represented in 1916 was
229,229, and in 1913, 221 1929. The in
crease is due largely to increased eff
ficiency, it is stated. The increase in
total operating revenues was only rs
per cent, but the net operating rev.
enue increased 21.3 per cent over
1913.
Compared with the fiscal year 1915,
