See Fault in Plebiscite
Some members OF the house. how

il the people of Hawaii were TO vote
for a wet territory. Congress imme-
diately would throw up its hands and
decline TO pass further on any prohi-
bition measure now before it affecting

pie voted wet Congress would be

Within Platform Pledge
But the question OF referring it to
the people puts the matter in diff
ferent light. Voting for a plebiscite
would not mean the breaking of a
pledge. 1t simply would be fayoring
putting the question before the peo-
pie. =
But this representative goes further
to assert that, in his opinion, the adop-
tion Of the substitute measure would
be play directly into the hands OF
the liquor men, He believes Congress
will now wait for the results OF the
plebiscite-if there IS to be one and

OF West Virginia and the decision is
SO far-reaching that we have asked
l.. E. johnson. president of the Nor

the suit. Mr.. johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago. passenger
fares were fixed BY the legislatures
Of large number Of states at two
cents = mile. Az a basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made OF the cost Of doing the
business so regulated. nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such rate would yield to the rail.
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class Of business.
Such q law was passed in West
Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained 1t for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents mile per passenger barely
paid the out.of-pocket cost and moth
