Jn the prelim inary organization, the stock was water, represented noth ing. In the numerous reorganiaztions since, the capital ization has been swelled without additional capital being invested, merely to keep down the percentage of profit, and to enable the manipulators to amass immense for tunes easily. 10 very fresh increase in capitalization meant fresh excuses for higher rates, another link in the endless chain taking the coin from the public. The railroads desire to make improvements, but they want the public to pay for them. They arc not satisfied with the comparatively immense profits made, but seek still more. IjJvery one of the railroads is in excellent finan cial condition and there is no reason why the public should be further mulcted for the benefit of the controlling in terests. And the talk of abandoning railroad extensions and improvements is largely a bluff to influence public opinion. The decision is of particular interest to Medford at this time because the rate question out here is being inves tigated. If the commission had allowed the increases the Pacific coast railroads would have been warranted in increasing their rates. Now they have not a leg to stand on. Medford will undoubted! v secure the reductions pe titioned for. They are fair stud reasonable and just both to the railroad and the simmers. with one who believes that the teeth, or tobacco juice, or the point of a pistol, are mightier thi.n the tongue, is, beyond our comprehension, unless he thinks that by mixing with num bers of innocent law abiding citizens, and associating tliciu with the central and prac'ically only figure, he can be elevated to ,i plain far above bis eurjtoiiinry one, and peihaps ccii:il to his neighbors.
