RAILWAY RATES
TO Be ADVANCED
Public Treasury Will Be Relieved
Of Burden Of Meeting Deficits
in Earnings.
EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return Of Roads
Arouses Interest at the Ma
tionaI Capital.

Washington-The national poll on
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With 50 per cent. OF
the editors giving 1t as their impartial
opinion that the public favors an early
return Of the railroads to their own
ers and only II per cent. favOring Gov
eminent ownership or operation, the
members of Congress Of both polit-
ical parties propose to provide speed
lily for the legislation to make it pos
sible to restore the roads to priva te
management before the end Of the
year.
In Congress there is general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
1. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved of the bur-
den Of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General of Railroads states
that the increase in rates thus far Is
about 25 per cent as compared with
an increase in operating costs of from
80 to 80 per cent.
2. Greater naturalization Of public
control of tranSportation-a single
public control in the Federal Govern
ment in place Of 40 masters in the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations. 81
8. Legalization of consultations and
common use of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest.
4. Assurance through an act of Con-
gress that in the future the Govern
ment will approve Of rates for freight
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the roads,
and that will yield sufficient income
on capital to attract the $3.50, 600, 900
to $1,000, 100000 of new capital need
ed every year for the expansion Of rail-
road facilities.
How the States voted In the nation
al poll Of editors on the question of
the return Of the railroads to private
management Is shown by the following
chart That the railroad question is a
non partisan issue is plain from q
study of the table:

While the dancing couple excitediy
swing and caper, the others sing and
play the either, the favorite Tyrolese
musical instrument. Original songs
are in high favor, and also the old
folk songs Of princes and peasants'
shepherdesses and huntsmen. The
peasants sing Justify and we'll. Only q
realization Of tonoYrow's work puts IN
end to the affair. and sends guests
trooping home still whistling or hum
ming the last song.

Two Hundred Years Ago.

"And herein 1t is that take upon me
to make such q bold assertion that all
tho world are mistaken In their prac.
tice about women; for cannot think
that God Almighty made them
IN glorious creatures with
souls capable Of the same accomplish
ments with men, and all to be only
stewards OF our houses, cooks, and
slaves" This advanced doctrine. which
In it's climax sounds somewhat as II II
were uttered in a present day conven'
ton, was written, as is noted in q re-
cent book on English literature, some
two hundred years ago, by Daniel
Defoe.-OutloOk.
