ONE BIG RAILROAD
The Standard Oil Compauy
now controls 75.940 miles of rail
road in the United States capi
talized at $3,895,220,000 this
means that nearly one third of
all the railroad mileage in the
United States is under the con
trol of thn Rookafallerft. And that
the capital invested therein is
equal to nearly one 25th of
the aggregate wealth of all the
people in the United . States,
which in 1900 was $94,300,000,
ooo. ':
, Measured by extent of terri
tory that the railroads, controled
by the Rockefellers, serve, ' or
reverse the proposition, the ter
ritorial area that serves the
Rockefellers and the relative size
of their holding becomes . Btill
more stupendous. That com
pany, or set of men, commonly
referred to as the Standard Oil
Company of which Rockefellers
are the head' now contiols the
V&nderbilt-IIarriman groups of
railroads with its 40,847 miles of
track; the Gould Pacific groupe
with 10,789 miles, the Rockefell
er groupe proper with 10,293
and the Santa Fee system with
7,809 miles.
.j The Rockefellers, together
with the men they have taken
into their fold, now control the
railroads operating west of the
Missouri river to the Pacific
coast and' from the Mexican
border on the eou'h to near the
Canadian border on the north.
CAN'T JOIN IN THE LAUHG
The people of Oregon, on
reading the numerous thrusts
made at our state, ostensibly in
a humorous .vein, by the press
from outside the state, because
of the dilempa into which one of
our U S senators, two Represent
atives in Congress and numerous
other prominent citizens of the
state have been placed by the
U S Grand Jury, feel very much
like the Uouaier boy, who in
hunting ooona one night, bare
footed,knocked the nail off of his
big toe on a beech root. On be
ing asked by bis companions bow
be felt pointed to his bleeding
toe and said "it hurts too bad for
me to laugh with you and I am
too big to cry.
WIDE AWAKE
The people of Washington
are wide awake to the value of
their school lauds and are send
ing to the legislature, now iu
session at Ulympia, petitions
from all parts of the state" pray
ing that no ; more school lands
be sold inA tbat state for from
five to ten years. This is a wise
move and if carried out will
largely increase the school fund
as there is no doubt but the value
of the school lands will increase
with the devtlopetneut of the
state.
Had the people cf Oregon tak
en this course years ago oar
ohool fund would
now be doable what it is. Had
our last legislature passed an
act stopping the sale of school
land for 10 years and author
ing the sale of timber thereon
at a reasonable stumpsge, sever
al millions of dollars would have
been added lo the school fund.
