Uniform Bate Regulation. 1
The conference of governors, mayors.
and business men called at Topeka by
' t
uovernor mho us ot rvansas 10 maae
plans for preventing railroad rate in
creases is one of the really big move
ments the west, has undertaken In late
years for the economic welfare of the
whole people. . It ought to be produc
tive of great good.
The underlying principle of this
movement is a uniform basis of rate
regulation that can be brought Into
complete harmony with federal laws
and plans. Such a system should be
all that Is necessary to establish equity
and Justice between, the railroads and
the people on the one hand and the
state and the nation .on the other. Let
us not Indulge any sophistries about
a conriict between state and national
authority. The Increasing complexity
of our political and industrial systems
has even taxed the combined resources
of state and federal powers, when
it comes to that.
This matter does not affect federal
control, except insofar as state regu
lation goes to strengthen and support
the powers of the central government.
It is simply a matter of each state
discharging its own .duty and exercis
ing its own right to deal with private
corporations doing business within Its
boundaries, but along lines that rein
force and strengthen the efforts of all
the other states. Until such a system
is established, we shall never reach
the point of safe and sane rate regula
tion. For the 'safety' and sanity of
the system the experience of Iowa,
which for twenty years has been reg
ulating freight rates, is all the reas
suring evidence we need.
With chief executives of states and
cities and business men bent on the
one purpose of establishing a fair and
reasonable basis of rate regulation In
the various states, this meeting at
Topeka. which looks as much to the
conservation of railroad property as
to the rights of the shipper, certainly
should result in great benefit, not only
to the west, but to the entire country,
which has. been looking to the west
of late for examples in such leader
ship. Shift in this Cities.
The census of 1910 as thus' far dis
closed has effected several changes in
the relative standing-' Jf 'our largest
cities, and if some rates of .increase
achieved in the past decade are main
tained In the' next, still greater
exchange of places, will- be apparent
by 1920.
In 1900 the ten largest, American
cities were New York, Chicago, Phila
delphia, St. Loui?; , Bostop, fialtim'orei
Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francisco and
Cincinnati. So far as the census for
this year is given out the ranking does
not change until we get to Buffalo.
Buffalo drops from eighth to tenth
place,: according to early reports, being
outranked by Pittsburg and Detroit in
turn. San Francisco, which was
ninth, Is believed to have dropped out
of the largest ten, though final results
may show differently. Had if not
been 'for. Jts earthquake and Are it
would, undoubtedly, have maintained
its standing, if it did not advance it,
and under the circumstances it hag
done very well.
Cleveland and Detroit have made
the prodigious growths, . and should
they maintain their, rate of Increase
for another ten years and St. Louis,
Boston and Baltimore do no better
than they have done in the last ten,
Cleveland may have some chance of
going ahead of all three of them.
Cincinnati Is entirely out of the run
ning with the ten largest. It probably
never again will rank as high as It has.
By 1920, however, some of the new
comers in the ten largest class may be
surpassed, for there is Los Angeles
climbing at a startling rate. In 190C
it had 102,000 population. It claims
today 350,000, but the census is ex
pected to show at least 300,000.
That city combines all its powers
and energies on this one object of at
taining a large population. Of course,
there Is such a thing as a reflex action
In this sort of ambition, and thai; re
flex action Js more likely in the case
of a city like Los Angeles, which is al
most entirely without industries, than
one that has something1 more' substan
tial than tourists and sick people on
which to depend for expansion. "
Slaughter of Human Beings
The reports of the tVolley car col
lision near Fort Wayne, ; Ind., are ap
palling. Out of sixty persons in one
car every one was .killed or injured
the list of dead being. thirty-nine. The
other car was empty.
As usual in such cases, those who
ought to be responsible are evasive in
their explanations. "Somebody made
a mistake," one of the carmen said
Then it appears upon Investigation the
mistake was in exceeding normal
speed limita. The men in charge of
the empty car turned on their full
power, attempting to niake-a certain
distance and reach a switch before the
other car. came. The collision was
the result. ,
Such nistaket are entirely too seri
ous to be pat6ed over. The some
body" ought to be dealt with in such
a way as at least to set up an object
lesson against such reckless, crlmfnal
disregard of human life. And if the
company does not lend every aid in Hi
power to placing the responsibility so.
that the law may deal with It It will
fail to do its duty. It is lanothei
tragic reminder of the necessity foi
more efficient management of rail
ways, electric as well as steam. Com
mon carriers often complain at the
aeemlug. injustice .jot publii. criticism.
but at such times as this, wbeu humar
lives are sniffed out in a moment be
cause some speed-craze.l employe trips
to see how fast he ran run bis ina
chine, we Imagine the men at the head
of these corporations, themselves, wll
admit that, after all, public criticism
is nonejoo severe. It has done a vast
amount of good, especially with refer
ence to steam railroads, which are en
gaged in a systematic effort to keep
down the list of accidents. They art
making splendid headway, and the
electric lines should fall In with the
movement.
After all the explanations of tlx
Fort Wayne horror are offered, we
still a re confronted by the fact that
there was no excuse, and therefore no
explanation, for it. It waB"a useless,
needless slaughter ot human belngt
that would have been avoided had all
the carmen been thinking as much ol
the safety of the passengers as one, or

ing a speed record. Have we not gone
about far enough with this speed
mania? Will we not rllow such
catastrophies as this to check us in
our hysteria? It is not confined tc
the rails of electric or steam roads
either.
Not a Political Question.
One of the reasons urged by the op
position to Senator Aldrlch In the pop
ulist committee consultation w?.s that
endorsement by the populists of a re
publican candidate l'or governor might
possibly effect the legislative reap
portionment, which is due at the com
ing session of the legislature.
This reason Is so far-fetched and so
unsubstantial in its general nature
that it would not ordinarily be given
any consideration, but there is always
the danger in a campaign such as is
now being waged of serious issues be
ing determined by trifles. For that
reason It should be made very plain
to the voters of the state that the long
delayed reapportionment for legisla
tive purposes is not a party issue in
any sense of the word. Both the great
parties are pledged, directly and Indi
rectly, to redistrict the state along
such lines as will give to the people
the representation they are entitled to.
This ought to be accomplished without
any question of partisan politics enter
ing into its consideration. It is
merely a matter of Justice, and as such
should be approached by the legisla
tors for the purpose solely of doing
what is right by the people of the
state.
The School Bond Issue.
Much heat is being engendered in
the discussion over the proposed issue
of bonds by the school district of
Omaha for the erection and comple
tion of new school buildings. This is
unfortunate, for. if any question of
school ' government; tshould be ap
proached calmly and judicially it is
that of the public schools. '
The Board of Education and the
superintendent of public schools have
prepared a very ambitious program,
and it may well be questioned if they
are entirely justified in their proceed
ings. On the other hand, the opposi
tion is mistaken in its effort to prevent
the issuance of any bonds. The city
is pledged to provide properly for the
care of its children while they are re
ceiving their educat.ii. nal training at
the expense of . the public. A number
of Omaha school buildings are of the
obsolete type and should be replaced.
Some of them are positively danger
ous and others are merely temporary
makeshifts. The shifting of popula
tion In Omaha during the past two or
three years has brought about prob
lems that are pressing in the matter
of properly housing the schools. The
needs of the High school are inade
quately provided for. It is not enough
to say that certain fads and frills of
an educational nature are being accom
modated to the exclusion of other
branches. The public schools must be
kept abreast of educational progress,
and to do this naturally Increases the
cost of maintaining the schools. It Is
certainly wise and prudent . to place
some limit on the policy of introducing
new features into the curriculum, but
it Is not good management to bind up
the system into a strait-jacket. Some
temperate consideration of the ques
tion will doubtless lead to a better un
derstanding. Portions of the school
board's program are indisputably
necessary. This should have fair con
sideration and the balance should be
deliberated without passion.
San Francisco boosters are going
about in the most practical way to se
cure support 'for their proposed expo
sition. They have raised a large sun
of money, more than waa ever in
vested in an exposition in America,
and propose to pay their own bills
without tapping the government till.
This will commend San Francisco to
the public.
Forty per cent Increase in the price
of a down town corner in one year Is
fair proof 6f the development Omaha
is showing by "actually selling the
property. The fact is, Omaha Is grow
ing better than even its own residents
realize.
The growth of the South Omaha live
stock market is a most encouraging
sign. It proves the wisdom of the lo
cation of the yards and the correctness
of the policy pursued by its manage
ment. The conference of governors at To
peka ought to be given much more
consideration tban It Is likely to re

There can be. no difference of opinion
as to the baneful, the injurious, nay,
they can be classed as criminal, effects
of combinations formed to restrict the
supplies of food of the people of any
district, any nation or any continent.
The fact that these combinations are
classed as commercial or trade associa
tions gives them no license to produce
their excessive profits at the cost of our
citizens, either collectively or Individu
ally. For more than a year past our people
have offered protest after protest
against the. exorbitant prices of living
in the land of plenty, but their protests
as yet have produced no relaxation In
prices for supplies of the staple articles
of their daily food. i
It has grown to be a menace to our
entire industrial situation, to our peace
and prosperity in the cities of our land
and to our ability to transact business
abroad in the outputs of our manufac
tures. That these combinations to exact un
due profits do exist there Is full evidence,
and yet despite the activity of state and
national officials, rw relief from their
exactions has yet come to the masses
of the people.
Dear food makes dear production and
finally .kills business that employs
large numbers of people.
Dear foods may exist under natural con
ditions sucb as are iound in unproductive,
Isolated districts, as mining camps, pioneer
Btations or In countries swept by virulent
disease where Inhabitants are unable to ob
tain supplies.
That the people of the United States, in
the very nildst of the harvests. In the very
center of the most productive region of the
globe, amply furnished with transportation
facilities, free from pestilence, full of
energy and vigor, are held up dully by
trade combinations, forcing them to pay
unprecedented prices for the products of
the land they live in, is almost past belief.
Yet that this is the case the household
bills of every family in the cities of the
union give full and direct testimony.
It Is high time, full time, that the food
supplies of our people' he freed from the
control of these combinations, which are
paralyzing the. industrial population of the
country and threatening the peace and
prosperity of all classes through their
avaricious exactions.

Ibis might properly be called the
Age or Advertising.
Advertising has helped to baild
some of the biggest business successes
In the country. It sells eastern :,'oods
in the west and western goods In the
eaBt; it has brought north and south
closer together commercially. It bus
done more to educate the peopld in
values than any other one force.
The advertising columns of the dally
newspapers are the family market
place.
People no longer go about looking
for the things they want they go to
their newspapers as to information ks
to where they are to be found.
Women, before they start on o sl'on-
ping tour, read the advertising news
in their home paper, learu exactly
where to find what they want nud go
there to get it because it saveB time;
because they have learned that they
can depend upon advertising firms to
live up to what they publish, that they
will not be asked a cent more than the
goods are worth, that they will be
given fair and courteous treatment.
Merchants tell me that many women
bring the advertisement with, them
and make their turchaBes from the
list of articles advertised.
If you will consider the question a
minute, the reason for thl public In

The first Interest of average men
and women are to clothe themselves
and their children as well as possible,
to have-ihe best and purest of foods
on their tables, to furnish their homes
as comfortably and pleasingly as pos
sible, to give their children every-ad-vantage
of education, culture and
pleasant surroundings that they can
afford.

People are Intensely Interested

that before a reputable business mu
publishes anything over his name he is
going to make certain that it is the
truth.
Women and men, intent on purchas
ing something that will add to their
comfort, convenience or pleasure, are
far more Interested in the newspaper
columns that tell them how and where
