WHAT NORTHERN CAMBRIA WANTS,
One of the measures that will come
before the next session of the state leg-
islature that is of vital importance to
the people of Northern Cambria county
js an act allowing electric railways to
carry freight. 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.
More than this, it might as well be

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.

aroused. No legislative candidate will
be allowed to quibble over the question.
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
