III JUSO When alrshJjjB tarry nwrUitng from carpentorrto Unpen I know tho JokosralUi sure IU tall tliojmrUer'yjri'cri' ANOTHER FINANCIAL GRIME TM3 report of llu interstate eonimcrt'e conniiissioii Upon the Rodk Island s)fs(oni depicts how the nn serupulous speculators of Wall street have amassed mil lions at the expense of the investing public through the deliberate wreckage of a profitable railroad. How can railroads expect to command the friendship of the public when such methods are countenanced i More over, how can they expect increases in rates hen nearly all of them are.suffering from similar t&plnitation in the past and are doing business upon inflated capitalisation? Why should tho public be forced io pay interest for the financial crimes of speculators? 'J'he report shows that when tiie clique iufcontrol of the Rock Island desired to get rid of an operating official and seal his mouth they made him :v present of $50,000 or $100,000 in exchange for his resignation. Under the head of "unexplained vouchers," the polit ical activity of the railroad is set forth, the wastage of the stockholders' money in political corruption. One voucher for $25,000 is charged to "general expenses" under "oper ating expenses." Says the repert: Tills voucher rcfors to n miscellaneous file ahown by tho Indox to liavo comprehended 'Contributions to Campaign Committee.' The flic, how ever, was not produced and a diligent effort on the part of the accountants to secure It was unavailing. Without this file It Is Impossible to stnto tho purpose for which the money was expended, but tho generalization 'Contributions to Campaign Committee' In tho light of tho practices In dulged by the syndicate In question Is clearly suggestive. Among unexplained vouchers was one for $(iS2:U2 "to reimburse W. II. Moore for losses sustained by him in sup porting the market while bonds were being sold." This was certified "for the benefit of the company," no other information being- forthcoming. Another to S. M. cVlton for $50,000 is explained as "paid to 13. II.' Ilarriman and associates to secure the discontinuance of a line of road being constructed between Peoria and (Minion." Another voucher for $'1-1,0110.05 is explained as "for advertising in editorial and news columns of the Denver Post." Anotliei was for $25,000 in favor of Robert Mather for lobbying at the Illonios legislature. Small wonder some of the officials testified that they burned their books regularly to conceal transactions to enable them to forget. The net result of this management is thus set forth by the commissien: In li02 tho main lino of tho Chicago ltock IhIoikI and Pacific Hallway company extended from Chicago to Denver, with branch linos to St. Paul, MlnneiMiollB nnd Kansas City. Tho territory served Is ono of tho rlchost and most prosperous In tho country nnd tho system's rnmiricntlons of brunch lines limtires to IJ a voluuio of tonnage. It was then thriving and Us prospects wore promlMng, its stock selling in tho innrkotH of tho world at more than $200 u share. In 1011 tho shares had fallen to $'20 nnd tho road Is now In receivers' hands. Tho evidence sIiowm Hint tho earnings of tho railway company havo steadily Increased nnd thnt In 1011 they wero tho largest In existence. FUNDAMENTALS Til 10 prosperity of a nation rests upon the welfare of the peoplc--uot upon the prosperity of the few. The report of the United States industrial commission shows clearly that fundamental wrongs must be remedied before permanent prosperity can come to the United States. Neither the tariff nor any other scheme for fur ther perpetuating the benefits of the few at the expense of the many can afford relief. The fact that the producer does not receive a fair share of his product; that one-third of the toilers are in abject poverty; that nearly two-thirds have to live below tho standards of decent subsistance; that the bulk of the wealth is in the hands of an insignificant percentage of the population; that from 12 to 20 per cent of the children are underfed and ill-nourished; that only one-third finish the grammar school and 10 per cent the high school; that !?7 per cent of the mothers are at work, make a gloomy showing for our boasted American civilization. In agriculture there has been an alarming increase in farm tenantry, and the tenants' future well-nigh hopeless badly housed, ill-nourished, uneducated, eking out a bare living by the aid of a large family of children, while in many instances in indiiHlriiil plants a feudal control of political and social life has been established by the con trolling corporation. If we are lo become a prosperous nation, which in tin truest sense we are not, fundamental wrong UM'.ft lie righted. It is hih time that our legislator ceased ltinii keying with results and superficialities and got down to business by providing real remedies as suggested by the Mauley report. Otherwise, one of these days we will have a social revolution that will make the French and Mexican revolutions seem tame. RAILROADLIVESTOCK VALUATIONS UNFAIR WASIIIMJTON.
