Regulating Railroad Wages

- LANS to confer the Interstate Com
merce Commission tho right to consid er
the wages paid railroad employees as well,
as the rates that may be charged railroad
customers are gaining In popular favor. The
Chamber OF Commerce Of the United States
is conducting a referendum vote OH the sub-
Ject, and it is attra citing wide interest in
other quarters
Certainly there Is much to commend the
proposed extension OF the commissIon,s
powers II railroad rates are reduced while
wages steadily climb, there will come time
when nothing will be left for investors
mere Is the further danger that an unde
served share of the railroads outlay for
labor Will be appropriated by those capable of
enforcing their demands, while equally de-
serving employees suffer
The Interstate Commerce Commission would
consider all of these matters If tho Measures
urged were enacted into law. This country
mas adopted the principle Of government re-
. . ana IT should be willing to see to it
mat regulation is fair, and that it protects
the interests OF all concerned

On the Road to Justice

IF the new tax laws passed by the last Gen
eral Assembly do nothing more than bring
about greater equality in merchants licenses
they will have accomplished a highly useful
purpose. 1t is notorious that merchants
throughout the State have been evading this
license tax, thousands Of them reporting pur-
chases amounting to less than $1,000 a year
The recordation provision of the new laws,
combined with the carefully drawn inter
rogatories Auditor Moore has prepared and
that merchants must sign and swear to, Is
expected to produce better results. The whole
trend is toward equality and justice. Viz
ginin is on the road to real and lasting tax
reform.

cation.
