It is none too early to discuss the matter,or to serve notice on aspiring candidates for legislative hon- ors that the people of this section are practically a unit in favor of more lib- erality to trolley companies and op- posed to the Pennsylvania Railroad . company further assuming the legisla- tive fanctions of the commonwealth.

This is a matter also of interest to thousands of small investors, whose holdings of trolley securities would be largely benefitted by this proposed leg- islation. There are many electric rail- ways in the state to-day which have not developed the sarning capacity ex- pected by these who have invested therein, and in many instances roads now operated at a loss could be run at ici a material profit had they the right to Advertisi ng carry freight. That they don’t have this right is an injustice and a wrong and is due largely to the machinations of the Pennsylvania Railroad company and its allied interests—a corporation that has roled the fair state of Pennsylvania for lo! these many years with a rod of iron,but whose dominion let us hope is at last to end.

It is too late at this day to expatiate on the merits of advertising. That has been demonstrated so of- ten that iteration is futile. Everybody mow days ROAD LAW IS INVALID. Judge Bouton, of McKean county, holds the good roads law of 1905 to be unconstitutional. \ His principal reason is that it is spec- ial legislation in that it makes possible port any candidate for assembly who will not come out squarely in favor of knows that advertising pays.

He must come out fair and square both before and after nomination and take a stand either with the people or against them. No half-way or half hearted promises will go. He must de- clare his position in no uncertain tones. More than that he will be compelled to pledge himself in writing or he cannot expect the support of the people, no _matter what political party he affiliates with. It is not a partizan question and will not be treated as such. The electric railways in every state | surrounding Pennsylvania are to-day carrying freight, and the citizens have found it a source of great saving, much added convenience and a strong factor in contributing to the success of busi- ness in the suburban and rural dis- tricts. It is of particular importance to the agriculturists and citizens of | country towns: ‘Farm land near railroad freight sta- tions commands a much higher value than farm land along trolley lines re- mote from steam railroad stations; if | electric railways be granted the right to carry freight this condition of affairs will be reversed —farmers living along electric lines remote from steam rail- road freight stations will, instead of having to drive many miles every day to a steam railway station, be unabled to load their products on electric rail- ways practically at their front doors in many instances. This will give them an equal advan- tage to that enjoyed by farmers living near a steam railroad freight station. They will have the added advantage too of cheaper freight rates on the us talk the matter over ; Heating with you or send us word : Is being used more ex-| tensively each year.
