TURN ON ALL THE RIGHT.
Boise Penrose, standing at the switchyard, has turned on
more litfht than he intended.
The light should be kept on.
The switch should be thrown wide open, bo says the Chicago
Tribune, and then adds: 1
The senate is adjourning.
Its committee 'should remain at its important work.
There is no more pressing service in the country today than
this may be made.
The committee should be instructed to uncover the whole ma
chinery of Standard Oil politics.
It should be fully empowered.
It should have counsel skilled in examination.
It should have all necessary assistance and a sufficient appro
priation to make its work effective.
Having been led to the threshold of the truth, the American
people will demand that the senate should go, and at once, to a
thorough classification.
No matter how tainted the source, how colored and trimmed
and garbed tha report, let us have all we can get without check.
Already we have had testimony of great i''e-.cav. before ton
irressional comm'tcooj.
We hava had the Penrosc-.Archold corre.pondenc, and now we
have Senator Penrose's- personal nuthori,:v" ? t.ati "' of the
contribution of Standard Oil to the Republican national cam
paign fund in 1!)04 and to Senator Penrose's Pennsylvania fund.
There is Witness John D. .Archbold.
More even than Senator Penrose, Mr. Archbold can tell us.
Already he has testified.
, Put that was but a glimpse he has given us.
lie has testified that in 1904 Standard Oil contributed $100,
000 to the Republican national fund, and $25,000 Mr. Archbold
paid to Senator Penrose.
Hearst's Magazine has published a letter which seems to have
accompanied this latter payment.
Its phraseology is too sinister in its implication for either Mr.
Archbold or Senator Penroie to be contented with the very
halting comment they have made upon it.
Mr. Archbold does not think it is genuine.
Senator Penrose hints that it is a forgery.
The fact should be established.
And this is not the only letter of Mr. Archbold's, or purport
ing to Be Mr. Archbold's which is crying to heaven for expla
nation. There are letters to men potent in the affairs of politic? let
ters involving other men.
The Foraker letter, the Sibley letters, the Grosvenor letters,
the Quay letters, letters treating of the quality of that pillar of
Democracy, Bailey, of Texas, and men high in the business world
and men active and influential if not high in the world of prac
tical politics.
They give a picture of thp ramifications of Standard Oil
throughout our national affairs during a considerable period,
and they have challenged the alarmed attention of an alarmed
people.
They also kriig into unenviable publicity many men, some now
passed away, some living and influential still.
It is preposterous that having testified to but one incident
of the great process of which he was a part, Mr. Archbold
should now step down from the witness stand.
It is said that ho has a trip to Europe planned.
Put what is such a consideration when a nation of 90,000,000
is waiting his words?
Other citizens have foregone more important matters than a
vacation to serve the stale.
Will Mr. Archbold turn tail now?
Will the senate permit him to leave?
We arc in the midst of a front campaign.
Senator Penrose and other public men have brought forward
most opportunely this burning issue of the relations of organ
ized money to government mdparty.
The subject is barely broached and Mr. Archbold is the rich
rst source of information now existing.
How can the senate, if it would be fair to all concerned, or
waiving all personal claims, if it desires to serve the welfare of
the republic, how can the senate permit an interruption until the
campaign is almost over?
When Mr. Archbold returns and once more the senate has ac
cess to his capacious memory, to his files, which he will open, to
the sources of further enlightenment to which his information
will load, it will be too late to make full disclosure, and too late
to debate or weigh the full significance of evidence.
Surely this wrong will not be done.
Tho investigation should proceed and it cannot properly pro
reed without Mr. Archbold.
GARREJT GIVES WARNING
REGARDING CAR SHORTAGE
The tlmo U hero fur the ritllwnyR
and shippers of ths United Stales to
begin notlvo and energetic prepara
tions to provont a car shortage. Tho
Indication!! are that It they do not be
K'n such preparations at once they
mill bo confronted next October with
t'io worst situation thr.t has existed
fr'neo October 1 !M)7, Just before the
panic. No railway man or shipper
Hoods to bo told what that situation
Ivan. Nono needs to bp told what was
the condition In tho preceding fall nnd
w Inter of 1!J0-UU7. Hallway facilities
were Inadequate to move the business;
jerds and terminals wero congested;
i nd heavy loss to the railways the
ihlppera anil the puhllo resulted.
Why do I think we are liable, to be
nfi-ontl with a similar condition
til's fall unless all concerned Join
l-rndH and heartily oo-oporuto to pre
terit H? To belief l:i based on the 'car
rplus and shortage figures of the
iiorcon Hallway association. The
Intent fii;urt-n wo have show tho car
( iuath'0 on July IS, 1 i 1 2. Let us see
"imt wns tho situation on prnctlcally
ihe sauio date In each of tho la.it pre
ceding four years, and w hat followed.
On July 22, HUiS, tho car surplus
waH 3(iS,i;s0, and tho shurtago 50!), a
net surplus of 308,071. On October 28,
1IMI8, tho surplus bad been reduced to
i:0.!U2, and the shortage bad In
creased to ltt,S;t9, leaving a net, sur
plus of luo.073. This was a decline
In available cars slnco July og 207,-
JOS.
On July 21, 1909. tho surplus was
243,334 nnd tho shortage 33!), making
a net surplus of 243,015 cars. On Oc
tober 27, 10011, the surplus had been
minced to 30,890, and the shortage
had Increased to 36,i3, leaving a net
shortage of 5.740 cars. This was a re
duction In tho available cur supply
slnco July of 248.705.
On July 10, 1910, tho surplus was
134.594 nnd tho shortage 1293, making
a net surplus of 133,301. Ily October
:(i tho surplus was down to 13,072 and
the shortage up to 21,896, making a
net Hhortne of 8.821 cars. This was
a reduction In net available car sup
ply since July of 112.125.
On July 1!. 1911. the surplus was
150,433 and the shortage 13C1, making
a net surplus of 20,532. This was a
reduction In Die available car supply
since July of 128.540.
In these four years the reduction In
the net car supply between the third
week In July and the third week In
October carted from 128,640 to 248,765
cars. On July 18, 1911, the surplus
was 75, 389 and the shortage 6,4674
making a net surplus of 68,922. There
fore If the reduction tn the available
car supply between July and October,
1912, be only equal to the smallest re
duction that has taken place In the
same period In any of the preceding
your years, viz., 128,540 cars, we
would be confronted on October 25
with a net shortage of 69,618 cars- If
the reduction In the available supply
of cars should be as great as it was In
1909, we would face on October 25 a
shortage of 189,147 cars.
Tho situation created by even the
smaller of these shortages would be
appalling and the resulting losses suf
fered by all commercial, Industrial
and transportation interests enormous.
Conditions that are likely to cause a
heavy demand for, and a rapid reduc
tion In tho supply of cars exist. Tho
amount of traffic handled varies
greatly during different parts of tho
year. During about eight months there
usually are large car surpluses. Dur
ing about four months, beginning
around October 1, there are apt to be
shortages. This Is owing chiefly to
tho fact that that Is the season of
heaviest crop movement Now, the
crop prospects in the west this are
unusually good. That helps to make
the prospect of a car shortage unusu
ally bad.
The railway managements are doing
and will do everything that they can
to provide for satisfactory handling of
the trlfflc. Their net earnings per mile
were less In the fiscal year 1911 than
they were In 1910, and they were less
In 1912 than they were In 1911. Mean
time, In 1912 their taxes were Increas
ed over 1911, and in 1911 they In
creased over 1910. These develop
ments, both of them Impairing the
managers' ability to maintain and de
velop the properties have prevented
nnd are still preventing, them from
buying the equipment and making the
oilier Improvements that conditions
demand. The situation apparently
confronting us Is precisely what the
managers repeatedly during recent
years have predicted would come If
tho present policy of regulation wero
not changed. Nevertheless, hampered
though they have been, they have
made numerous Improvements In
plants and operating methods. For
some years the purchoses of equip
ment were relatively Hinall, but re
cently they have substantially Increased.
The managers, howover, cannot do
everything. If the bad situation now
threatened Is to be averted, they must
hnvo the hearty support and co-opera
lion of the shippers and consignees of
the country. The shippers and con
slgnees can give such support and co
operation In at least two ways:
1. Uy moving all the lumber, coal
cement,' and other freight they can
within tho next few weeks, Instead of
delaying and throwing It all on the
railways when they aro staggering un
der the crop movement. Mr. Frank T,
Ilentley, traffic manager of the Illi
nois Steel company, nnd the Indiana
Stool company, anticipating a car
Ehortago this full, recently issued an
appeal nnd warning to all patrons of
these companies to place their orders
for cement and other commodities ear
ly. Much might be gained If the traf
fic malingers of all tho large lndus
trial concerns of tho country would
follow Mr. Uenlley's example and their
i patrons would act on the advice given.
The commercial organizations of the
cities and towns can help greatly by
urging their members to move all
goods as early as possible.
2. Shippers and consignees can
greatly help themselves, the railways
and all other shippers and consignees
by loading and unloading all cars de
livered to them as expeditiously as
practicable. Every time the loading or
unloading of a car Is needlessly delay
ed the available supply of cars Is
needlessly reduced; and no shipper
has any right to complain that he is
not furnished enough cars If he Is by
his own acts needlessly and wrong
fully reducing the available supply of
cars. Commercial organizations can
not render a better service to their
members than by urging on thera the
need for prompt loading and unload
In. Cars are furnished for transporta
tion, not for storage; and every one
used for storage reduces the number
for transportation.
3. Shippers can help greatly by
loading all cars to as near their ca
pacity as conditions make practicable,
There has been a great deal of talk
in recent years about the need for
better co-operation between railways
and shippers. Hero is a matter re
garding which they can heartily and
energetically co-operate to the very
great gain of both.
