As Vsual tHc People Pay iHe FVcigHi.

The old expression, "the people pay the freight," has a striking significance in view of the decision of the great railway systems of the country to raise freight rates at least ten per cent. Just a few months ago the corporation-owned newspapers were frothing at the mouth over the ten per cent, advance in wages various railway systems had given to their employes. A great to do was raised and the cry went up from the railways, "we are going to let our men share in our prosperity." Statisticians took up oceans of time and reams of paper to show us what a large amount of money generous stockholders were going to subtract from their dividends and divide with their employees. And now after having our hopes raised so high we have them clashed to earth by the announcement that the generous stockholders have reconsidered their first determination and are going to let the people pay for that raise in wages. It is cheaper after all, to settle the matter that way and doesn't affect dividends those dividends so necessary to the continued existence of our great captains of infamous industries. But are the railways justified in thus raising rates? After the rate bill was passed the people of the country were assured that by cutting out preferred shippers and thus doing away with rebates, the railways would bo much better off financially. And this looks very reasonable. The railways will pocket the difference between what large shippers were paying them when they were granted rebates and what they now have to pay under the regular rates. It was estimated that the annual amount the railways returned In rebates was between $73,000,000 - and $100,000,000. Now In justifying the proposed raise in freight rates the railways are claiming that the recent raise in wages will amount to $100,000,000 or $110,000,000. Therefore it looks as though the railways are trying to get the best of the game, for the amount they no longer have to pay out in rebates, will just about balance the amount paid out on account of the raise in wages. The railways certainly cannot claim that they are not carrying as much freight as they did when they were giving rebates, for the amount of freight transported during the past twelve months has surpassed all previous records. It appears to the uninitiated therefore, that the railways in proposing to raise freight rates ten per cent, are figuring on pocketing the $100,000,000 this would bring in, and turn it over to stockholders in Increased dividends. If the railways carry out their determination to raise rates this way, it will work a hardship upon the entire country. The ten per cent, raise in freight rates will simply amount to an additional tax upon us. It will mean that our living expenses will increase, for the cost of transporting an article has a great deal to do with determining-the price we must pay for It. The railway employes may think that as long as they are getting their ien per cent, increase in wages they needn't worry if the rest of the people In the country do have to pay ten per cent, more to have their goods transported. Yet they will have to pay their share of that

ten per cent extra tax just the same as the rest. ihey have to wear clothes, must buy. food, pay rent, etc., just as everyone else has to. And the price of clothes and food will be affected by the ten per cent, increase In freight rates. Rent will become, higher; for it will cost more to transport lumber and building material. So we are all in the same boat and will have to contribute our share toward this $10(Y000,000 tax. It is a great game for the frenzied financiers in New York citi who imagine ".we cannot exist without their system of managing affaiip, and who charge us according to what they think their services are worp to us. No wonder they kick when a man like President Roosevelt tries to break up their system. But their Iay is fast drawing to a close for "President Roosevelt has set an example that has awakened our public conscience, and that is fast attracting men into our public service who will not betray our interests. Furthermore, his strenuous fight for oiir rights is teaching the people to think for themselves and to vote according to their own judgment, and that means the eventual death knell of the grafting' political heefer of the financiers under whose yoke we have so long been.

The Proper

Underneath the great unnecessary hubbub of the present Japanese war scare, there are two points of possible dispute which must be settled by the American and Japanese governments. Neither of these are of a sort that should make war between the two countries a possibility or even a probability of the near future. One of the things to be adjusted is the treatment of Japanese children by the San Francisco school authorities; the other is the broader problem of Japanese immigration, into the Pacific states. It seems plain that the school question in San Francisco as affecting tho Japanese would never have reached its present acute stage if it had not been for tho fact of the growing hostility on general lines of the white people of the Pacific slope to Japanese immigration. Not unnaturally, the workingmen of California object to the competition of cheap labor from the far East. This feeling. is at the bottom of the present anti-Japanese agitation in California. If the specter of a Japanese coolie invasion could be removed, it is probable that the San Francisco school question would not long remain to disturb the usual quiet course of the relations between Japan and the United States. In the settlement of the question of Japanese immigration into this country, it is inevitabk no matter how carefully the two governments may conduct negotiations, that an insistence upon the principle of particular exclusion against the Japanese by the United States will result in ill feeling in Japan, which may eventually cause serious trouble between the two countries. After his surprising victories over China and Russia, the average Japanese, who is not only very patriotic, but very human, " does not relish the idea of having his countrymen barred as inferiors from a country which every year welcomes to its gates hundreds of thousands of very undesirable people from Eastern and Southern Europe. The men who defeated what tho Caucasian world has always regarded as one of its masterful races at Tsutshhna, at 203 Meter Hill and at Mukden, can reasonably be expected to feel unrestrained enthusiasm for a nation which refuses to regard, them as the equals of Europeans who, for centuries, have done little or nothing in influencing the course of history. Japan will not fight just now, primarily because she is not ready

10 ngm, ana seconaarny oecause sue has not forgotten the services which this country has rendered her in the past. But if Uncle Sam insists upon picking out the Japanese as one of the very few people whom he refuses to admit freely into this country, there will inevitably be sown in the Japanese mind seeds of ill feeling, which may bear fruit at a later day, when Japan is better fitted for another great war than she is at the present time. Stalled in conference in the capitol of Washington, is a measure which would settle the worst of our present points of disagreement with Japan in a hurry if it could be made law. Reference is made to th immigation bill, with the educational qualification -test retained, which passed the senate last year, bi;t which ran into breakers in the house. An adequate immigration bill Including a reasonable educational requirement, would bar out the Japanese coolie to whom the Pacific coast makes such strenuous objection quite as effectually as any measure aimed directly at the Japanese; at the same time it would act against men as individuals without discrimination against one people or another; and quite as important as either of these things, it would. keep out a great many other undesirable immigrants from other parts of the World. This would seem to be-a fitting time to rescue the Immigration bill from that quiet resting place, in Washington which.it occupies at the present time. There has not seemed to be much chance of thi3 bill being made law at the present session, but-there may. yet be a possibility that the present international situation will give it another chance for life Cincinnati Times-Star.
