Prom a theoretical etand point as ws anderstand it rates ars not fixed with reference to the cost of hauling a ton a singls mils but rather up on which ths commodity will stand. Whils to ths uninitiated, at first glance this seems absurdthinking ths mileage ays- Urn ths only ons that should bs consid ered. In tints ws believe the mileage sys tem will 6s adopted, but If at all it will be many yeare hence, therefore ths fight on rates will bs a long ons for ths reason ths fight will for ths time being, nscsssar- illy be upon sach classification, put of all of this agitation will corns much good and omt harm. President Hill ia a statement to thepubbs a few days ago, upon being accused of being ths principal owner of ths Qrsat Northsrn, replied that in fact hs only owned ona seventh of ths stock and ths balance was distributed among some three thousand others includ ing several hundred womsn. Here is whsrs ths harm may result from ths pub lic agitation, which ia now bei.ig wagsd and will continue to bs wagsd. Thous ands in ths sast, who havs found invest ments in railroad stocks profitable, sines government invsstigation haa ahown and ths roads ars being exposed and punished for violationa of law, may withdraw their investments. Ths value of their stock may decline and ths money that waa to have been invested in new lines snd in ths development of new territory may not be forthcoming. Capital may not lend with so lavish a hand as in former timet. This may result, for the time being, in the stagnation of railroad stocks and railroad development Be that as it may, how ever, the railroads, like the Standard Oil Company or ths insurance companies, have no one ta blame but themselves for con uubung uieir ousmess in sucn a manner that it practically requires a revolution to secure justice in many cases. This quss tion will be properly adjusted in time. A few days mors and our law maksrs will get down to ths passage of bills. Ths committees ars now orgamzsd and ars flooded with proposed laws that havs bees referred to tbem for their consideration whish Id dus course of time will receive sitbsr approval or disapproval. Ths tobacco stores of Nes Peres, Idaho ars up against a boycott that for the present is sfsetlvs.,. Tba girls sixteen yaareef age and over have. -organized a arusads against tobacco ehswing and have entered into a'compaot not' to kiss or be kisssd by any young man who will no first talcs an oath that bs will never again use the weed in that form. The boycott has bssn rsfered to ths district attorney. Ssnatof Beveridge of Indiana says that child labor is a national evil and should bs stopped by a federal law. Hs is correct Hsrstofbra ths question of child labor has bssn left entirely to ths ssvsral states, and (naturally" commercialism antaraT largsly into its consideration. To illus trate, suppose Oregon desired to place ths sgs limit whereby childrsn under ssvsn- tsen years of sgs could not bs smploysd. whUs ths state of Washington had no such Isw. 'Washinoton would havs sn advantage' over ths Ors- gon manufacturer. A national law would place a 1 states on the asms footing and all interests would bs equally protected. E. M.
