ITS EFFECT ON THE ROADS.
The Interstate Commerce Law and
the Trouble II Makes on the Iron
Highways Of the Land---Vfews Of
Big Road Men

The Interstate Commerce Law and
the Trouble II Makes on the Iron
Highways of The Land---Views Of
Big Road Men.
The railroads are having a hard time of
it since the enactment of the inter state
commerce law. Rate wars, they claim,
have been frequent, net earnings have
decreased. and the dividends of large
number of roads have been either re-
duced or passed altogether. The annual
report of the ST. Paul, the Northwestern
and the Rock Island and other companies
state that one principal reason for the
falling off in net earnings has been the
interstate commerce law, and the man.
ayers of these roads allege that the anti
pool feature of the law is responsible for
nine-tenths of the rate cutting and de-
moralization. There can be no such
thing as maintenance of rates where COM
petition is active, they claim, without
pool. President Roberts, of the
Pennsylvania company; President Depew
of the New YORK Central; President
Hughitt of the Northwestern, and many
other railway authorities have at differ
ent times expressed this opinion. Chair
man Blanchard of the Central Traffic as
sociation, not long ago in communica-
ton to the managers of the roads in his
association took the advanced ground
that there was nothing illegal in pooling,
notwithstanding the Interstate commerce
law. Chairman Blsnchard's ideas have
found many defenders, and the legality
of the railway pool has been holly dis,
cussed at every meeting of the managers
which has recen tly been held. One of the
brightest of railway officials says in res
gard to this subject:
Il am satisfied, after careful study OF
the situation. that the only remedy fol-
the present chaotic and demorslized con.
dition of railroad affairs. caused by rail-
road legislation and unchecked competi,
| ton, is return to the pooling system.
There seems to be no promise of remu'
nerstive rates on competitive traffic on
any plan short of division of the bust
ness. This has not been attempted sine,
the advent Of the interstate commerc'
law, which many suppose prohibits pool
ing, although it has been thought doubt
fui if congress can constitutionally 'regu
late railroad traffic to that extent.
division of the competitive business is a
absolute necessity with American rail
ways, aud the interstate law does nc
prohibit that practice-call it a pool G
any other name-provided the traffic
carried with due regard to the other pre-
visions Of the law. such as the long an
short haul rule, publication of rates, res
sonable charges without discrimination

AN UNPLEASANT DUTY.
Argus in Reference to the Morning
sheet---Treatment Of Nuisance.


Once in every certain period the ARGUS
comes under the unpleasant necessity Of
dressing the Union down. The poor,
weak backed, ill>bred, Ksnsas-eyed con-
Germ is like unto a wayward ehild-a
tight check rein must be kept or it will
become unbearable; give it an inch of
latitude and it will take two or three
feet; permit its bad manners to pass I'M
reDuked and it gets into habits that are
disgrace to itself and the community it
becomes a public nuisance. 1t gets up
on its high horse and does all sorts of
irresponsible things. The ARGUS, there
fore, has in the line of its duty as public
benefactor, put check on the unnatural
and exceedingly distasteful actions of its
contemporary, in order that the people
may live in happiness and peace.
But this duty. though not at all
begrudgingly fulfilled by the ARGUS, has
come very often of late. For several
days the temporarily unchecked and un-
muzzled animal has been making consd-
cradle noise in its kennel around on Eigh-
tenth street. and though it has been
swapping and snarling at the ARGUS and
attempting to bite, it has not been deemed
worth while to notice it until this morn
ing, when indications Of internal dis
orders such as are the premature stages
of things more serious, manifest them
selves and the duty of bringing the thing
under subsection, again becomes neces-
sary.
Its Misrepresentation of the ARGUS
treatment of Mr.. Wells and other repub-
licsns and the Flambeau club, are on a
par with its malicious falsehood during
the campaign that this paper had at
tackled Mr.. Gest's domestic life and the
family associations that are most dear to
all men. The ARGUS has said nothing nor
done anything that it is ashamed
of, even to putting muzzle on the
Union whenever it has been necessary. II
has made no personal attacks upon Wells
or reflections upon the Flambeau club
1t has published the news and published
facts and will ever continue to do 30, lei
come what will. 1t made no departure
from its line of truth and duty during
the campaign that has just ended, snC
any attempt upon the part OF the half
breed journal that has been of no earthl,
service either to its party or the public
to be-lttle paper which is its superio
! in every sense of the word, will slmpl,
: bring forth ridicule.

MORAL MINERS

Not long ago a statement of Mrs Voorhee,
appeared in the press in which she spoke of
the immortality of the miners in Juneau,
Alaska, whom she accused of stealing Indian
girls for immoral purposes. Mr. +. Hutch

since 1886, and who will return to juneau
next spring, was seen yesterday BY reporter,
