The Question Of Trolley Fares

10 The Editor Of the EUcninO Public Lcdoor.
Sir-1t is to be hoped that the question Of
transit fares will soon be settled. for the
pu6lic is growing very tired over the agita-

they have brought out to convince tho public
mat they were getting much for q very
small sum has failed to meet the require
ment and today we have returned to the old
status.
What should be done Is to raise the fares
70 sufficient sum that the Rapid Transit
co. viii be able TO conduct their cars and
give the public the best kind OF service
There should be no profit and only sufficient.

Saws Amend Leaaue Later

70 tht Editor NJ the Epenin0 Public Ledger:
sir-The following declaration was made
by Congress assembled in Philadelphia:
'wo hold these truths 20 be self-eaident,
that all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalIenable rights: tina. among these are
NE. liberty, and the pursuit OF happiness. I"
Tho following was also adopted as part
or the constitution OF the United States. Ar
.iclc " Section 2:
state, under the laws thereof, escaping into
another shall in consequence OF any law or
regulation therein, be discharged from such
service or labor. but shall be delivered UP
on claim Of the party TO whom said service
or labor may be due"
Now. Mr.. Editor. suppose when these .wo
great documents were up for discussion and
Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner. Harriet
Paecher, Stowe or even Mrs. Gait. OF woman
suffrage fame. had been present, there would
have been as great fight as there is at
present over Article y Of tho League Of
Nations. But these two great documents
we're adopted and In course OF time amend
ments we're added and the imperfections
were corrected and on his way was formed
. league of commonwealths that no doubt
prevents war.
California need have no fear of invasion
by Japan. because she belongs to this league
Of states or commonwealths Also in tho
farewell address of George Washington Is
the following: "Observe good faith and JUS
tce toward all nations: cultivate peace and
harmony with all" And again: ''Our de-
tachcd and distant situation invites and en-
Rblcs us TO pursue different COURSE"

had no idea how close the nations Of the
world would get In his day to measure
the distance across the Atlantic by time in
stead Of miles the distance was probably
about seven months and now II Is abou:
seven days, and probably In tho near future
seven hours.
The League OF Nations should be adopted
as agreed to by thirty or forty of the
Christian and civilized nations of the earth,
and any impcrfectons could be thrashed out
at subsequent meetings.

II will be OF interest to many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
in Canada win do 30 well out Of the
wheat they grew on western Cansda's
prairies last year.
There was fixed price Of S2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
son.
Not knowing the price at which II
would be possible to market the crop,
the Canadian grain board, which or
ganixation handled the whole Of the
crop last summer. fixed $2.15 a. min
imum price for No. wheat. and ar
ranged that each farmer should b
given certificates for the quantity Of
wheat he delivered. TIE amount re-
ceived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end Of the season. and
the holders Of these certificates will,
therefore. participate In the extra
price received according to the guam.
tity Of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board VIII pay at least 10 cents
q bushel over the fixed rate Of SAILS Q
bushel for their wheat Of last season.
This means that about $40OO0.000 will
be distributed among the farmers Of
Alberta. Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference In
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
last seasons crop.

A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
at between s. and s. per bushel, was
made recently before conference Of
western supporters Of the government
BY DR.. Robert Magill. who was one Of
q deputstion from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued In IA
vor Of open trading from the aspect
Of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
sia owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
export. while Australla's acreage
would fall from 100000 to TOGO. 200.
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself. and there would be absolute
" no wheat for Europe. except from
the Argentine and North America.
DR.. Magill, according to formal an
nouncement, though 1t would be Inn
possible to secure as good a price for
the producer by control as by the
open market. The United States mar
ket was now open, and, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar-
