TJTArHC STRUGGLE
OF GENERATION
Railroads Scheming to Divert
Thought From Vital Issue In
' Rate Regulation Talk.
JUST COMPENSATION
IS CRY OF MAGNATES
Secretly Striving to Insert . in the
Rate Bill Language That Will Per
mit the Continuance of Present
" Ortr-Capltalixation. . -
- By John' IS. tathrop. j
(Presi a Joorsal ttarf Our, pwi east.)
Washington, D. CX, April 26. Ths
vilmata mr uhnln( to divert thouarht
J-'. from one of the vital Issues In ths' rate
regulation discussion they are center
ing attention on the constitutional ques
tions of suspension or nonsuspenslon of
a commission-fixed rate pending; adjudi
cation; over the distinction between
broad and limited review; over other
phases of what is really the tltanlo
" struggle of the generation; but they are
secretly Striving to Insert in the rate
bill languacs.that will permit tha con
tinuance of present ever-capitallsatlon
, and the preposterous thing of making
the proposed bill compel the federal gov-
eminent to maintain auoh watered stock
and sea that the' normal Interest is paid
thereon. ' .
Just compensation is the brief state
ment of ths proposition which they
. submit as co-essentlal with the eonstl.
, tuUonallty of the bill. But, fair as
such a proposition is on its fsoe. it is,
, as planned by the Wall Street mag-nates,
the most astounding and bare-faced rob-
. tiery of the patient, long-suffering pub
.' lie that ever was written into a congres-
' sionsJ program. "
AaatuU Beport Telia srtory.
' An Illustration of what these mag
nates desire and for which they are
- working; sub rose. Is to be found In thb
' recent annual report for 1 SOS of the
: Pennsylvania . lines. ', This report at
tempted to show that the 1 400.000,000
' of capital stock of .tha Pennsylvania
' represents actual value of the system;
- In other words, that it would cost 1400,
0ft. 000 to duplicate the system.'
Ths fact is, ss all fair-minded per
- eons know who are capable of giving
r espert opinions on such a subject, that
the Pennsylvania systsm, owning all of
' some of its rosds nd only part of
others, has actually stock holdings rep
resenting not more then t.OOO miles of
lines. - James J. Hill built the Great
Northern ubrough a half dosn moun
tain van gee at between ' 120,000 and
M0. 00 a mile. At the same ratio the
I'ennaylvanta , lines would cost $40.
eoo.ooo. If equipment be aa much more,
then IKS. 000. 000 would duplicate the
system, building; all - the roads con
trolled wfctuh It owns outright and that
part of o hers controlled which Is rep
' reaeautd by Its proportional holdings.
Presums. then, that it be eonceded. for
argurants that 11(0.000.000, or double
the Ie.eo0,00 he admitted, and then
140,000.000 he added .tor good measure,
the I'.OO.OOO.OOO thus reached to repre
stent Its entire actual property holdings.
2 haa the PenaajrivaBia ijiUa to ask
telegraphy apparatus used by' this company. The pat
ent Attorney, Mr. Philip Farnaworth, formerly "with
the firm of Bette Sheffield, and on the suff of the
General Eleetrio Company, haa charge of the patent
department of this company, It is the -policy of this
department not only to protect' the Invention. of Dr.
DeForest and other experts connected with the com
pany, but to Investigate and purchase all meritorious
patents bearing- on . this art from any house whatso
ever. The American DaForest Wireless Telegraphy is
the parent company and controls all foreign rights.
Out-European rights are In tha hands-of a very pow
erful syndicate of English capitalists,' headed by Lord
.Armstrong, of the firm of Armstrongs, the largest
over $800,908 in tha
the American De-v agree to use he DeForest System In the future in
Canada, and Bra- P f Marconi. Lloyds Is now suing taw-Mar-
conl Company,
ing- the publlo to believe that congness
should ' enact no law which would not
protect it in the receipt of normal inter
est on double the legitimate value of
Its property. If the normal rata be
taken at l.per jcent, then the system
would really be receiving 10 per cent an
nual Interest en actual values, vand tha
plana of the sallroad magnates ' is in
effect to accomplish Just such an end.
Would Be Oled to Have BUL .
What. Indeed, do they care, then. If a
rate bill paas, so long as the congress
frame the law to compel the mainte
nance of normal Interest on spurious se
curities? Ths belief here is that ths
railway managers really would be glad
to have such a bill and are scheming
to befog ths issue so as to, center the
publlo ' talking; on phassa entirely re
moved from what many experts claim Is
the most important
Senator Bailey rooted tils opponents
on the queatlon of the power of the con
gress to limit the authority of the fed
eral courta below the supreme court
Were It not that to accept his dictation
would be to admit tbs plea of the la
bor unions for tha anti-lnjunctlon law
for which they are battling. Bailey's
argument would be admitted by nine
out of ten in the eongreaa, probably,
and, it is known, that were It not that
be haa already occupied much of the
senate s time and dealres not to bring
himself too-promlnently before ths peo
ple he would make another apeh
sgainst ths "Just compensation' desires
of the railroad magnates that would be
quite as illuminating as his great pres
entation of the congress right to limit
the power of inferior federal courta.

HAS TROUBLES
Republican Brethren Say That
Albany Leader's Ambitions
Are Faj-ReacruhgT"
WESTGATE A CANDIDATE 1
FOR COLLECTOR-'S OFFICE
Three Men Frame and Adopt the
Republican Platform for Coming
State Campaign Amusing Features
of Political Maneuvering. '
O. A. Westgate of Albany, who was
sleeted chairman of the Republican
state central committee yeaterday after
noon, owes his elevation primarily to
Dr. James Wlthycombe, the Republican
nominee for governor. Westgsts la the
editor of the Albany Herald and is a
brother-in-law of SUte Printer J. R.
Whitney, who la said to be part owner
with Westgate In .the paper.
The chief argument urged by Withy
combe In favor of the new chairman
was that he would be able to do more
than any of the other candidates toward
harmonising dlscordsnt elements of ths
party. It la said Westgate took no
active part In the factional strifes that
divided the psrty In past campaigns,
although he waa regarded as a Mitchell
Republican, and It waa due to the
Mitchell organisation . that Whitney
Westgate'a partner, was made state
printer. .- . .
But eome evidences of hostility to ths
new state chairman have appeared al
ready. Mutterlngs of discontent ars
heard among the Republicans of Linn
and adjacent counties. Westgat is an
avowed candidate for appointment as
collector of customs to succeed I W
Patterson, and it la freely lntlmsted
that a chief object of the Albany editor
in seeking the state chairmanship waa
to further his own campaign for federal
office.
- The fact that Westgate haa been made
chairman of the state central committee
would naturally weigh In his favor at
Washington. Jack Matthews stepped
from the stste chairmanship Into the of
fice of United State marshal, and
Westgate might. ressonsbly expect equal
good fortune. It la true ths t' the state
chairman Is a much less Important fac
tor In- stste politics under the direct
primary law than under the old system,
but he is at least a conspicuous figure
head. An amusing, feature of the Republi
can atate campaign Is the fact tbst ths
party platform thla yesr will be the
product of three members of the state
central committee and will be put forth
without revision or ratification even
by the other members of the commit
tee. In psst campaigns the platform
haa been framed In atate convention
and ratified by the assembled delegates.
In this campaign the platform will be
drawn by three men only, and will not
even be submitted for approval to the
state comtnUtae.
