OCTOBER 4, 1807. The Commoner. 15 Every one of these pledges has been fulfilled. We express our satisfaction with the operation of the new primary law. It gives to the individual the same equal voice in the selection of all candidates that is given in the election that follows. Its first ex periment was to obtain a freer and fuller expression of sentiment than has heretofore been possible to ob tain under the caucus system. We pledge such amendments to the law as experience demonstrates are neces sary to make it a more perfect sys tem of choosing candidates. We endorse the work of the state railway commission arid expect It to continue to be a serviceable instru ment in enforcing the laws without fear or favor and to deal speedily, impartially and justly with all com plaints against the roads. And we especially endorse the present efforts of the commission ,to effect a reason able additional i eduction in grain rates. We call upon the railway com mission to investigate if only those giving the railways "the major por tion of their time" are on the list of passholders, and we insist upon a rigid enforcement of the anti-pass law. We believe the federal judiciary law should be amended to define the citizenship of interstate corporations for the purposes of jurisdiction of federal courts by providing that for the purposes of original jurisdiction and jurisdiction on removal from state courts, or federal courts, a cor poration shall be deemed a citizen of every state where it has filed or is required by the law of that state to file in the manner required of domes tic corporations, its articles of incor poration. And in addition thereto that every foreign corporation, or its successors, assigns, or lessees, exer cising or claiming the right to exer cise the right of eminent dpmain, under a state law, shall be deemed a citizen of that sta,te for the purposes of jurisdiction of federal courts. We favor the enactment of a fed eral law and if necessary an amend ment to the federal constitution which will forbid the federal courts from issuing writs of injunction against state officers charged by law with the enforcement of state statutes. We regard with high favor the nominees on our state ticket and in vite all voters who believe in official probity and efficiency to join in elect ing them. A REORGANIZATION RECIPE A plan to reorganize the Chicago Union Traction company was an nounced the other day. This com pany's tangible and intangible prop erty has been appraised, and the total value fixed, by agreement with the city, at $32,000,000. Under the agreement, earnings are limited to five per cent upon this sum and forty-five per cent of net surplus profits, after setting aside fourteen, per cent for maintenance and depreciation the other fifty five per cent going to the city. When the reorganization commit tee met, we understand one member proposed that, as the total value of the property was $32,000,000 and earnings restricted as above, no more than $32,000,000 of stock and bonds should be issued. Thereupon all was confusion. Two members of the committee fainted. Another shouted- for the police to come and take the anarchist into custody. When peace was restored, the committee consulted its dream book and briskly evolved a plan, which provides that bonds shall be issued to the amount of $32,000,000, or the total value of the property and tLen some Income debentures, some capital stock, come certificates of beneficial interest divided into series A., B and C, and some - collateral tniBt notes, all footing up to about $CO,000,000, or double the value of the property. Wo hear that the incendiary mem ber who proposed an honest capi talization will bo indicted. May his fate be a warning! Once give foot ing to the notion that a property m'ay, in some exceptional cases, bo reorganized without issuing bales of bogus "securities," and one of Wall Street's chief sources of profit will bo imperiled. No matter how patently aqueous the "securities" are, there is always an encouraging possibility that, in a rigged market, some of them may bo worked off on credulous investors. Saturday Evening Post. BORROWING IN CHINA An American woman, who had gone to live In Shanghai, was com pelled soon after her arrival to en tertain some important business as sociates of her husband's. Her finest china, glass and so forth had not yet arrived from the States. Never the less, she determined to give a dinner, and called in her ''Number 1 boy." "Now, boy," she said, Impressive ly, "I entertain three gentlemen at dinner tomorrow, very fine ccnUc-- rnen. You make it all best possible. Must be nice, everything." The next evening, as she ushered her friends into the dining hall, she gasped in amazement. Before her was a table spread with most ex quisite linen, cut glass, silver and delicate china. Over it all hung a gorgeous cut-glass chandelier. Course after course was served aB if by magic. The instant she could leave her guests she sought her "Number t boy." "Boy! Boy!" she exclaimed, "where did you get such beautiful things?" The boy beamed with satisfaction. "Everything very nice, best possible! Mo very good friend Russian ambas sador's 'Number 1 boy,' Russian am bassador go out to dinner. Me bor row. Very, nice, very nice!" Den ver News. OVERLOOKING SOMETHING According to a magazine writer, girls do not eat enough. Apparently this writer has never observed the girls when they go back to the table after the company is gone. Kansas City Journal. WATTERSON AFTER THE FIRE Really one only needs to have dis aster to know how good the world is; everybody rushed to the rescue of the Courier-Journal; the meaning of this is that the old lady at the corner even in her bombazine skirts and sunbonnets in trouble has everybody's sympathy. It is positively bewildering! By a natural process of evolution and re form, the Courier-Journal loves everybody; we love Mayor Bingham for the enemies he has made; we lovo prospective Mayor Tyler for the friends he thinks he has made; wo even love the Evening Post, which has done the squaro thing and that moans that wo lovo everybody. Tho indobtodnosfl of the Courier Journal to tnc Louisville Herald gom without saying; and this moans that politics is not war, and party lines nro not linos of battle. Let tig ail praise God and lovo ono another; tho ono blciiflod thing Is that although there might liavo hofln a holocaust, nobody was hurt or lost his life. LouIhvIHo Courier-Journal.
