THE interstate Commerce Commission empowers
the railroads to increase fares Railroads pro-
pose to put the new schedules into effect on Aug. o.
1t IS reported that managers consider collecting the
surcharge on monthly oommuation tickets and on
returntickeb sold but not used before Aug. 20.
Such procedure would be the height of folly
The purely legal aspect of the matter IS i'm
material. If the railroads attempt 10 collect an ad-
ditional cent or two ride for the last six days OF
August they will incur $40 burden of animosity
for every dime collected.
Railroads have suffered from public hostility If
the public has abandonefHs policy of fighting the
railroads, the managers will be foolish indeed if
they again stir up the spirit of opposition

cox A FREE TRADER.

IRON his Congressional record it is clear that
jsmes NJ Cox is rampant free trader"
This is plain at least 10 Wilbur F, Wake.
man. General Secretary Of the American Protective
Tariff League, whose charges were published in the
Evening Mail on the day previous 10 Gov. Cox'S
acceptance speech.
The alleged ofense is scarce grave enough TO de-
mand critical comment The 1909 record is of less
interest than the 1920 record.
But because Of the specific items on whidp the
Protective Tariff League bases its accusation the
expose" is worth examination
According 10 the list prepared by Mr.. Wakeman,
Congressman James NJ Cox favored changes in
customs, as follows:
Free coffee
?. Free tea.
3. Free boots and shoes, as well as hides.
4 Free lumber
5. Repeal OF the preferential duty on re-
fined sugar.
Repeal of cOuntervailing duty on oil.
Z. constitutional income tax.
s. Free zinc.
9. Such reductions wooden goods blank
cts &C.. as will wipe out a prohibition OF
imports thus supplying revenue and bringing
the cost of clothing down to equitable prices
The list is significant Readers of The Evening
World who recall the series OF articles, as This
Profteefng?" printed last spring will note more
than coincidence.
Shoe, sugar, oil and textile concerns were shown
TO be fragrant offenders as regards exorbitan profits
gouged from the public.
Congressman Cox in 1909 wanted to reduce tariff
fayontsm to these lines Of business.
Lumber needs no protection" As The Evening
World has demonstrated, the lumber concerns refuse
10 cut so long as the excess profits tax applies The
lumber supply is limited and can be marketed more
profitably when it is no longer necessary to divide
profits with the Government
Lumber Imports would heip conserve our fast
dwindling forests Free lumber would be true
sort of protection" of national resources.
Free tea and coffee do not violate the Republican
protective principle. Neither is produced in the
United States
The list is impressive, not as an evidence of gen
eral wisdom on tariff policy but as an indication of
the economic prescience which Congressman Cox
displayed.
In 1909 he picked out these particular commod-
ties on which protection was unnecessary and
burden to the consumer. Dealers in these COM
modities demonstrated the correctness of his views
When the time came they showed they could take
care of themselves without protection. They took
all they could get.
Certainly there are few Americans who care to
protect" for profteers.

10 the Bitog Of The Eyening World
Now that the railroad men and
Post Office employees have received
their increase in pay why don't the
Labor Board show some haste in the
demands Of the American Railway
Express employees who returned TO
work last October ON a promise OF in
creased wages and are still receiving
the measly salary OF SCOTT per week ?
DO you think this is a living wage?

The Thing to DO.

10 the Bltt0 Of The Byening World:
VIII Prohibition last? There are
many reasons to doubt that 1t will.
II it does, the Eighteenth Amendment
IS likely to exert neither influence
nor authority except in case OF some
great emergency. AS n figurehead it
will adorn the ship of state for the
Prohibltionists to admire.
Its enforcement is a serious ques-
ton, especially when the people are
compelled TO pay for something they
do not want. What an anomaly 1t is
to ask q man to pay for Furnishing
himself and yet this is simply what
the enforcement of Prohibition
means.
Although ell laws take away lib
erty Is 1t advisable to deprive the
people of a pleasure which they
would ordinarily have a moral right
TO enjoy? Another thing is, "Will
they endure 1t and how long?" The
sooner statesmen recognize these
things the better It will be for them
selves and the country at large.
The thing for the citizens of the
country to do is TO get as many wet
representatives In office as can pos
sibly be secured and then the wild
enthusiasts OF Prohibition will be
driven back to THE Land OF Nod"

HE TIME IS SHORT.

DARAGRAPH 2o2 of the Election Law of the
l State of New York provides for filling vacan-
cies in elective Offices.
The following passages apply to vacancies in
the Assembly. The italics are ours:
Upon the occurrence n, n
vacancy which cannot be filled by appointment
the Governor may In hts dis
erection make proclamation Of special cleo.
tion TO fill such office which
shall be not less than tiOenty nor more than
forty days from the date Of the proclamation
special election shall not be held to fill
vacancy in the office Of
member Of Assembly, unless occurring before
the first day Of April in any year unless the
vacancy occurs IN such office OF
member Of Assembly after such first day Of
April and special session Of the Legislature
be called to meet.
Speaker Sweet and his clique delayed the ousing
of the Socialist ASsemblymen until after Aprl I
Thus Gov. Smith was forbidden to proclaim special
elections except in the event of special session.
In the event of special session the proclamation
of special elections is Sin the discretion" of the Gov
ernor.
The Evening World believes that special session
is imperative. It believes that the Governor would
fail to exercise his discretion" properly if he denied
representation to the dsfranchsed voters OF the five
Assembly districts
The Evening World desires TO call to the attention
of Gov Smith the mot less than twenty nor more
than forty days" clause in the Election law
The time is scant in which the Governor may
call special session and proclaim special elections in
he disTGnehised districts
Gov Smith should do both.

Sardines are taken in peculiar
way. A small-meshed net made OF

Two men pull the boat steadily along,
while u third stands up and throws
bait on each side Of the net.
AS the sardincs try to pass through

caught by the gills. Every now and
again the men haul in" detach the

once more. Sometimes as many as five
or six thousand fishes per day are thus
taken, apd the catch brings high prices.
But the value of these Is discounted
by the growing cost of bait. For this
purpose sailed Gods roe is used. It
has to be obtained from Norway, and
the price rises continually. The sar-
dine does not mind this. Being some
