- William Jennings Bryan on Friday
laid before the house interstate COM
merce committee his dual plan of state
and federal ownership Of railway lines
as a solution Of the railroad reorgan-
ization problem. In doing so, the
former secretary of state denounced
private ownership of the railroads as
indefensible and intolcrable and char
actcrized railway magnates as politi-
cal corruptionists. I'VE have never
tried government ownership" declared
Mr.. Brayn,, referring to the railroad
administration. "a subsidized news
paper never thinks to tell that the gov
ernmcnt took over the railroads when
the private owners could not run them.
The government. has been only in tcm-
porary control, and the roads in, the
hands of those who wanted to see gov
erpment ownership fail so, they could
get the roads back" Mr.. Bryan advo-
Gated that the federal government own
a skeleton trunk line system, reach .
ing into every state, which in turn
would own the other carriers within
the state boundaries. His plan, he es-
timated, would cost the government
four or five billion dollars, while state
ownership could be decided byi ithegpeot
pic, who might decide for temporary
private ownership. The committee
also heard s. Davies Warfield, who
said his railroad plan for a minimum
interest return Of 6 per cent on rail
securities through a mandatory ad-
justment Of rates by the interstate
commerce commission was in principle
endorsed by "50.OoO,0Oo persona own
ing or directly interested in railroad
securities" Representatives of 9gthe
coastwide shipping companies urged
that port.to-port rates should not be
put under the control of the interstate
commerce commission in reorganiza-
tion legislation. Arguing against pri-
.vate monopoly Mr.. Bryan said , the
railroads must be considered as q
monopoly, and that "no one can de-
fcnd private monopoly unles1 he has
so much stock In it that it silences his
conscience" Mr. Bryan agreed with
the fundamental proposition Of the
Plumb plan that the government
should own the roads, and such nation
alization be asserted were better than
private monopoly. AS for political
power under a naturalization Ccheme
Mr.. Bryan declared the government
could do no worse than private owner
ship, for the railroads have ,been In
politics every day for the last % years"

The range of red spiders throughou

The rance of red spiders Throughout
the cotton fields of York county ha'e
baan more severe this year tnan even
before There are complaints from
oil sactions of the county although II
is not understood that all fields are m M
vaded. Many of the fields are sun
entirely fsee of the pest. In the case
of others generally however, where reu
N,.o,aar has been more or less active lor
vears. II is doing more harm lhai'
ever. One of the best safe guaros
against rcd spider is the remoVai oi
hedge rows, old stunIps and CROWNS
along terraces so as to deprive IL oi
comfortable quarters during the VIII
ter.
rLs,. ;s lust one sensible way to
approach the question of tax efuaii-
zation and that is fairly and hones'':'
gyaxes have got to be paid and theE
win be paid. There is no other way
than that. But the great trouble Is
that some people pay too mnca anu
others nay too little. Those VINO pay
too little in proportion to what 'h@y
ought to pax are riding those VINO pay
too much in proportion to what 'hes
ought to pay. Among those VINO pay
700 little are some who are honest anu
como who are dishonest. That is, taeFe
are some who deliberately dodge theif
. taxes, knowing they are putting 'ne
burden on the other fellow. TheIe are
MANY who are paying more tnan thei'
share. some knowingly and some un-
knowingly but few of them with
very. satisfactory idea Of how to heip
themselves. The state tax commission
is not trying to get any more taxes OUT
of the people. 1t knows very well no"
TO get all the taxes it needs. What II
wantS is 10 duualize the taxes to make
those who are paying too little pay
more and take something off OF those
who pay too much. The commission
desires to secure 4 just assessment on
. every individual exactly according 10
the market value OF his property, no
more no less. A member Oh the state
tax commission, Hon. w. G. Query Is
to meet the business men OF YORK
county in the courthouse on this sub
Sect next Friday, and every merchant
should be at this meeting. The only
way TO get at the right is to meet the
question fairly and talk it over frank
