WHY NOT ONE LAW FOR ALL!
Editor Sentinel:
A law should deal with all silk
and such a law cannot help but bring
happiness and prosperity to the en
tire country. There is a law that
says railroads shall only charge so
much a mile for carrying passengers
and so much per ton for having
freight: there is a law that wmpola
them to equip their road with upto-
dute crossovers and latest uptodute
signals, and to equip their road with
the latest model of steel cars. The
railroads are compelled to pay adv
vancod pricea for steel, lumber and
for labor: In fact, everything they;
used In the last twenty years they
have reduced fares. in some Instances
three cents a mile, and freight retest
have been reduced In some cases one-
tnird. The only thing the rallroads
have gained is the increased tonnage
they haul in their trains.
And we IIIUKI cottede the fact that
that is only a small item in the way
of advancement when we think of the
price of iron. steel. lumber and labor
that go to complete a railroad and
its necessary equipment
Now if these laws regulate railroads
to the benefit of the public, why will
they not likewise work a much great-
er bencdt to the public. particularly
to the laboring classes? Why not
have this same government appoint
a commission to regulate the Stand.
