Cashier Bren of the state Univer- sity appears to have lost at least $14,000, a fairly decent job and a pretty good reputation, and all he has gained is some undesirable notoriety. But he may have some- thing else coming. When President Vincent will deliberately turn down an invita- tion to the Harvard dinner in Minneapolis to come and talk to the newspaper men, he at once looks to the editors like “top of column, next to pure reading matter” —————— ARE 2-CENT FARES CONFISCATORY? The Duluth Evening Herald says editorially: One of the reasons urged by the railroads why the Minnesota 2-cent passenger rate law should be re- pealed by the courts was that the reduction was confiscatory; and that was one of the reasons why the Federal courts acceded to the wishes of the railroads rather than to the wishes of the people of Minnesota. Is the 2-cent fare confiiscatory? The court says it is; but the rail- roads appear to have made more money under it than they did under the old 3-cent rate, and Sena- tor Julius A. Coller of Scott county, in a statement published in the Shakope Argus, shows that the rail- roads admitted that it is not confis- catory by offering, when the 2-cent fare bill was pending, to ‘concede rates which practically amounted to 2-cent fares. At that time, as Senator Coller says, representatives of several of conference committee, at which settlement to concede the following privileges: Round trip tickets at flat 2 cents a mile;500 mile mileage books good only on roads of is- suance and good until used by the purchaser or any member of his family at flat rate 2 cents a mile; 1000-mile mileagebooks inter- changeable and good on all roads. limited to one yém-, at flat 2 cents a mile; extend to the public, as before, all special and and reduced rates such as. excursipn rates, state fare rates, etc. This proposal was approved by the conference committee, af which Seqator Coller was a member, but later the Northern Pacific to abide by it, and a new proposal was made, as follows: One way fare at 2 1-2 cents; 500-mile book at 2 cents; other usual mileage books and excur- sions on same rates as in the past. The new proposition not being satisfactory as to freight rates, ne- gotiations for settlement ended and the legislature passed the 2-cent fare bill and the commodity rate bill which the Federal cqurts have re- pealed by judicial decree. refused Counting free passes and low excursion rates, it was shown in the hearings before legislative com- mittees in this session of 1907 that the railroads were then getting on the 3-cent rate, less than 2 cents a mile for carrying passengers. The 2-cent fare law was accompanied by a law forbidding passes, and the railroads ceased giving excursion rates. According to their own fig- ures the railroads should be getting more actual revenue out of 2-cent fares without passes and excursion rates than they used to get out of the 3-cent fares with passes and excursion rates. In spite of this obvious arith- metical fact and in spite of the fact that the railroads were willing to make -concessions which practically amounted to 2-cent rates, they pleaded that the 2-cent fare law was confiscatory, and the Federal court has sustained their plea. Senator Coller’s letter completely annihilates the railroad’s case and his remedy is one which The Pioneer has already approved. He says: ‘If the railroads decide to put into effect the 3-cent rate on July 1, it seems to me that the people of of this state should be benefited by the increased earnings taken out of the pock- ets of the taxpayers of this state, and the citizens of the state ought to proceed at once to petition the governor to call an extra session of the legis- lature at an early date for the purpose of raising the gross earnings tax on the railroads, amending the law in other de- tails and compelling the rail- road companies to furnish to the people' who are compelled to pay a rate of 3 cents per mile the same pasenger service that they have furnished to peo- ple who are only required to pay a rate of 2 cents a mliie The law, too, should be changed so th:at railroads shall pay the. share of the cost of local jm- Prove ments.

Charley Hall is proving the ready rescuer of the Red Sox. It will be about a month before games are’won or-lost by one or two hits. It is no particular honor to bat only .300 nowadays.

John K. Tener of Pennsylva- nia, the former Chicago National leaguer, is putting in much of his of- ficlal time around Philadelphia, and likes to see the games. Manager McGraw has given orders none of his players can play with semiprofessional teams around New York this year on Sundays. The Gi- some easy money every year that way. In the law suit between the owners of the Boston National club it was'tes- tified that the directors “are called upon hourly to decide such questions as who shall play on the team and in what order they shall bat.” 8 Boston is at the tail end. Lewis Drucke, pitcher for the New York Giants, sued the New York street rallway corporation for $25,000 damages, claiming his arm had been injured in an accident and the same week he pitches and wins a game of ball with that same helpless arm. | They call baseball the “national” | game in the States, but at that it is more of a public institution in Can- ada. In one of the cities of the Cana- dian league the citv board of public works Had the work of making the grounds done at public evpense. Brooklyn baseball writers, having exhausted every other sort- of criti- cism of the poor showing of the team) now say there are not enough Irigh- men on the team to make it a proper fighting organization. And the same day two “Dutchmen” were chased for tmnoire baiting. = F Providence is the surprise of the Eastern league.

If the erratic Arthur sticks to the soda fountain there 18 nothing to it but his name In the baseball hall of fame. It looks as if the teams in the sec- ond division of the National league bave little or no chance to break through and enjoy the company of the elite in the first division. Manager Dooin of the Phillies found time from his bareball duties to put on his vaudeville stunt “After the Game” at a benefit entertainment for a suburban church and made' a-big hit, batted .400 in fact with the audi- ence. In these days of complaints about the umpires it is refreshing to read a statement from President Joyner of the South Atlantic league that he has the best staff he ever had and that no serious complaints are heard from any club. The Highlanders’ new grounds at Two Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, in New York, have not been started yet on account of some trouble over grading.
