THg pRopLgM REMAINs,

The Cumming-Esch railroad law was
an issue In the recent campaign and
received the Endorsement OF the peo-
pie. This, however, may not be con-
elusive. There are other tests than
| popular satisfaction which Il must
meet. II must prove itself 10 be an
adequate solution Of the problem. II
is conceivable that the new law might
receive the unanimous approval OF the
people and yet fall 70 provide system
under which the railroads OF the coun-
try may be successfully operated.
Hints are already being dropped that
such a result is Indicated.
Reports OF railroad earnings for Sep
tember--the first month under the new
rates and without the government
guaranty--are coming In, and their les
son is beipg studied. II is being shown.
for one thing, that uniform rate
charges and uniform pay to workers DO
not produce uniform effects upon rail-
road revenues and expenses. For i'm
stance. It appears that for the month
indicated. the Chesapeake a Ohio had
"a net operating revenue equivalent TO
more than s2s yearly on each share OF
stock while the 81. Paul earned only ~
per cent.--less half OF its fixed charges.
This disparity OF earnings was pre-
dicted when the railroad bill was under
consideration. II was TO provide against
II that the compulsory coming system
was urged. also the device OF setting
aside q portion OF the earnings OF the
more profitable lines for the benefit of
weaker ones. Under the zone system,
the stronger and weaker roads In cer-
tain territory would be combined In

ings would be equaiized. It was ad.
mittedly n solution involving great
practical difficulties. but II now seems
that its omission from the bill has not
obviated the trouble.
Our laws regulating the operation Of
railroads specifically regard them as
one general system. We attempt to
prescribe uniform charges and uniform
pay to labor. But the roads are In
fact divided into various systems, some
which serve productive territory and
some not 80 productive. The best lines
contend that they are under no oblign-
tion TO share earnings with their poorer
neighbors-and with some show Of rea-
son. On the other hand. the other lines
cannot long be kept In SUCCESSFUL oper-
alton unless they can earn enough to
pay operating expenses and interests on

AS TO OIL LEASES

Attention is called to the adver-
tisements in this paper desiring to
purchase oil and gas leases in the
Aberdeen territory This adver-
tisement is in line with the idea
which has been promulgated by the
Aberdeen Weekly for the past
twenty years-that oil pools and
gas underly much of the territory
of this section.
People who own lands in this Vi
cinity owe it to themselves and to
the development of their country to
call on those advertising for these
leases and find out Just why they
offer to purchase leases in this Sec
ton. and then to be sure, if they
dispose of them, to retain an inter-
est in the lease, so that its devel-
opment would come back to them
in material profits if oil or gas
should be found.
1t will not cost any landholder
anything to investigate, and we adj
wise all of them to investigate as
soon as practicable.

Major MotIow Attends Oregon s
Inauguration

Major J. E. Motlow has returned
from Mexico CITY. where he attend
ed the Inauguration of President
Oregon, the new president of the
Mexican republic, as the personal
representative of Governor Russell.
Major Motlow was the only Missis-
sippian present. Sixteen states
were represented by either their
governors or other prominet citizens.
The inauguration took place at
midnight. November the 30th. in
the Chamber of Deputies, which
was crowded with state officers and
invited guests. The oath was ad-
ministered by the chief justice OF
the supreme court of Mexico.
Major Motlow was greatly i'm
pressed by the cordial feeling man.

lean visitors, and in the opinion of
Maj. Motlow the Mexican has come
to realize that it will be to the best
interest of his country to get on
friendly terms with his neighbor to
the north. President Obregon is
the strongest man the country has
produced since the late President
Diaz, and being a soldier he real
ICES that war will not bring peace
and prosperity to his people. and
he will therefore pursue a policy of
paciication and progress. and will
endeavor to lead his people in the
ways of peace and prosperity.
This is the fourth time in 80
years the president of Mexico has
been inaugurated peacefully. Every
administration during that time be-
gan with arms and bloodshed.
Mexico City, the capitol of the
republic. is modern city with a
population of 1000, 900. 1t has a
splendid street Car system, asphalt

High Taxes Cause Citizens to Pass
Resolutions

Taxes. state. county and munic-
ipaI. are high in Mississippi this
year. and especially are we bur
dened by taxes since our crop yield
has been light. and prices for farm
products so low.
Interested in this matter, citi-
zens of Union county held what
might be called an impromptu mass
meeting in the court house in New
Albany last week. and below we
publish a synopsis of the proceed
ings. as published in the New Alba
ny Gazette:
As citizens Of Union county we
are glad to pay our share of the ex-
pense of the government. economic
ally administered. but we should
see to it that real economy in gov
ernmental affairs il exercised. and
we regret that we have been hither-
to so careless Of these matters.
Within the last few years sal
aries Of officials have been raised;
organized effort on the part of those
interested has led to very much en-
larged, if not prodigal appropria-
tions, and expenditures. Many
projects that call for much money
have been saddled upon US so that
today we find ourselves really tax
burdened and with no relief in sight.
We offer no special criticism Of
any one citizen or official at this
time, for all of as are more or less
guilty, but we sound a note of
warning, and hope that those in
authority may hear US.
If We have officials that we do
not need let those in authority find
a way to GUST them.
If there are deputy officials
whose services might be dispensed
with, let tnem go.
We pledge our energy and united
effort to sustain. in the right, all
those whom we have chosen to
serve Us, and hope that our board
of supervisors and legislators may.
as soon as possible. give US some
very much needed retrenchment
and reform in the matters that SO
vitality concern US"
