R. Co. ROLAND M. LAMB, 'Freeport, L. J. G. M. age that is refreshing. The message has already become one of the most notable state papers of recent years. It is as follows: The Veto Message. This hill, with specified exceptions, provides for a maximum passeuifer fare of 2 cents per mile upon the railroads in this state. Steam rail roads less than 150 miles in length which are not within the counties of New York and Kings (or within the j limits of an incorporated eityi are permitted a higher maximum charge of 3, 4 and 1 cents a mile, according to | the length of line, unless through con solidation, lease or control they form part of a system whose combined linos exceed 310 miles, in which case the provision for a maximum rate of 2 cents a mile is applicable. The passage of the hill was not pre ceded by legislative investigation or tailored clothing suitable inquiry under the authoritv of nu economical man „ Xor‘ls the fixing of this rate All these qualifica combined predicated on reports or statistics olli- meun a man who cially collated which would permit a has his clothes conclusion as to the justice of its operation with reference to the rail roads within its purview. It plainly i reflects dissatisfaction with existing I conditions and an effort to provide a remedy through arbitrary action. It seems largely to have been the result of annoying requirements and discrim inations in connection with the sale of mileage books on certain roads. A Mistaken Policy. The bill represents a policy seriously mistaken and pregnant with disaster. It is of the utmost importance that the management of our railroad cor porations should he subject to strict APPROPRIATE CLOTHING denotes a fashion able man. Well fit ting clothing a careful man. Well kept clothing a neat man. Well of service, and It is manifest that what would be fair for one might be far from fair for another An arbitrary dislocation of tiirifT< liy the fiat of the legislature without investigation is a m atter of serious concern. The best that could be said for such legislation would ]«• that it should he regarded as an isolated case and not as a precedent, foi if flat freight rate', either for all commodities or for different kinds of commodities, were similarly to he fixed by the legislature without investigation or proper ascertainm ent of their jus tice our railroad business and our in- dustrial and commercial interests would he thrown hit > confusion. \A Better Way.\ I do not mean to he tin lerstood as saying that a maximum tw > cent pas senger rate would be unreasonably low It might lie high enough in many cases. Possibly it would Vie high enough in all eases. I fully appreciate the fact that those who have promoted this hill believe that such a rate would he fair. But I deem it most important that the policy of dealing with m atters of fids sort arbitrarily by legislative rule of general application, without reference to the demands of justice in partieular cases, sli mid he -■ m demtied. Every workingman, every tradesman and ev ery litizeii believing himself to have uuglit at stake in t!i“ pviisperity of the country sherld ■rmkiedh oppose it, for it not only ilneatens Mn- stability of i enfi i jirlse. which makes our prosperity pos-ihle. but it substi tutes unreas >u for sound judgment, the il! considered demands of resentment for the spirit of fair play, and makes imp.issihlo patient and honorable effort to correct abuses. There is a better way. It lias already been pointed out in the legit/Tatioifx>f Mils state. It is practically impossitife. in view of the nature of the problems and the many questions requiring con sideration, for the legislature to deal directly with railroad rates in a satis factory manner. Where a m atter re quires investigation in order that a just result may lie reached the obvious course is to create a body which can investigate, with expert assistance, as summarily ns possible and which shall have adequate power to make appro priate orders. Such a body has been created in this state through the public service commissions law recently en acted. Provision is made for inquiry into m atters of freight rates and passenger fares and for the fixing of such rates as shah be found ju s t and reasonable. If a passenger rate of 2 rents a mile is just and reasonable, if can lie fixed. If it is not just anil reasonable, it should not lie fixed. It will lie said that this requires Village Taxes For 1907 w ill be received at The Village Clerk’s Office opposite L. I. R. R.
