where the ticket broker comes in. lie
has money and can use these 2-cent
rich mans rates. He says to The poor
man.: 1--WE give you the privilege of
the rich. We give you your just rights

Corporation without a Soul.

you please and stay till you get tired.

Again, the railroad company offers a
rate fIom Missouri river point to San
Francisco of S35. The man who wants
to go to Ogden must pay $50. The
ticket broker buys the ticket to San
Francisco, sells it to the Ogden Gus
toner for $50, saves him $40, and then
the ticket from Ogden to San Fran
cisco is left to dispose of by an
Ogden member of the associa-
ton. The fare from Ogden to San
Francisco is $50. The broker at Ogden
finds a customer and sells it for $40,
saving his customer $40 and the two
brokers have made IS and the two
customers have saved 500. Who is
benefited? Who is harmed? Had the
company made uniform rate, Just
rate. all honest rate, the broker would
have had no business. The traveller
would have to pay only $3.50 to Ogden
and the same to San Francisco. Again,
suppose the company offers round trip
rate from st. Paul via Sioux City,
Denver. Salt Lake and Helena for $50.
The regular rate is nearly three times
the sum. This enables the brokers to
make low rate to all of these points,
Save money for their customers and
make profit themselves. Is it not
legitimate? Are not their patrons bene-
fitted? Has not the company reaped the
legitimate result of their sowing? The
ticket broker is the result of these I'M
fair conditions in rates, and as long as
these determinations are practiced the
field occupied by the broker is a legiti-
mate one. His work is beneficial. OF
course, all ticket brokers are not angels
neither are all bankers. The security
and responsibility Of the transactions of
the American Ticket Brokers' associa-
ton are not eXcelled by any other great
organization. 1t COSTS money to become
a member, and character is necessary
requisite. The penalty for any crooked
ness is prompt expulsion from member
ship-a penalty that virtually throws
the victim out of business. The queS-
ton awaits solution at the hands OF the
railroad companies themselves.

BENEFITS THE PUBLIC.
Something Abont the Fight
Against the Ticket Brokers.

Something Abont the Fight
Against the Ticket Brokers.
The war on ticket brokers now being
waged in this and several other states
is exciting no little attention in the
newspapers in various parts of the
country. The Sioux City Journal few
days ago printed lengthy statement of
the situation, giving the advantages of
the ticket broker to the travelling public
and the effect his existence has upon
railroad rates. An extract from this
article, which appeared under the head
ing" 1.-The Ticket Broker-He Is Public
BenefactOr and We Must Have Him."
will be found below:
The railroads, by concerted action
through their fiyureheads, the railway
conductors. have begun a war of eX-
termination against the ticket brokers';
or rather, they are beginning with re
newed vigor battle lost at every pre-
vious onslaught In majority of states
the legislatures have been confronted
with bills, at the instigation of the rail
road companies, having for their object
the determination of ticket brokers, but
these bills we're usually killed in the
hands of committees on the showing of
the brokers themselves. The companies
later bro ught the matter before the in
terstate commerce commission, and a
bill was formulated with such strength
in the last congress as to completely
capture the committee. A few inllu
entail members of the American Ticket
Brokers' association had hard work to
present favorable recommendation,
but finally won upon the merits of their
cause in spite of the aggregation of
capital and influence
Pitted Against Them.
1t looks very much like the railroads
were trying to effect by legislation what
they are not honest enough to do them
selves, for they have it in their power to
destroy forever the business of the
broker. Everything is the product OF
necessity, and the railroads themselves
are the responsible parent of the broker
age business.
The railroads have gone into the
safety deposit banking business. They
sell 1000 mile ticket book for $50 and
hold $40 on deposit for an indefinite time
cover. The brokers have learned feat
ure Of banking also. They buy these
books and divide with the public the
| difference in price between the two
cent and the regular fare. Who
is favored? Why, the public, of
course. The railroad mileage book
favors the rich, who can put
up $50 without Inconvenience. The
broker favors the poor man who can't
put up $50 without Inconvenience. The
railroad gives SO rebate. The broker
is also in the rebate business. The rail-
road rebate is in the interest Of the rich
man. The brokers' rebate is in the in
terest of the poor man. The railroad
rebate is intended to exclude the poor
man. The brokers' rebate is intended
to favor him. The railroad company
says to the rich man: buy this $50
mileage book and you can travel for
cents a mile and stop off at every sta
ton if you want to, even in Dakota u
1t says to the farmer Of Dakota: You
can't put up $50 and give us the use of
$40 of your money without interest Oh

Proposed Canal From Chicago to

proposed CanaI FROM chicago TO
Delphi.
1'ERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 31.-Col.
William E. McLain, state senator from
this county, will this week introduce a
bill in the legislature memorializing
congress to authorize a preliminary
survey of canal route from Lake
Michigan, about thirty miles from Chi
cago, to Delphi, few miles north of
Lafayette, the head of navigation on
the Wabash. The distance is about
ninety miles. In addition to the
water which would be received
from Lake Michigan, and which would
be available over the whole route, for
1t is as level as board and has slight
declivity toward the river, there is a
plan to turn in the upper end of the
Kankakee river. The Kankakee when
high has caused much trouble and ex
pense to the state. The advocates of
the canal claim it is 500 miles shorter
than the Hennepin canal. The idea is
to make the proposed Wabash canal
wide enough for large steamers to pass.
with mean stage OF nine feet of water
in the channel. To secure that in the
Wabash it is proposed to build a num-
Der of dams. 1t is estimated the cost of
the canal would be Sl0,000,000.

CUTTING RATES.
Union Pacific Charged With Out
fiuO Rates.

u mon EaChiC ChdfS1So W I'LL OAC-
ting Rates.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-A morning paper
accuses the Union Pacific of cutting pas
senger rates between Ogden and the
Missouri to an extent which will almost
certainly result in an open reduction of
so per cent. The regular rate of trip
tickets is $40. The Union Pacific is ac-
cused OF placing large blocks of tickets
in brokers' hands at prices which
enabled them to sell at from $1S to S21.
One of the scalpers informed compel
ing line and a number of the tickets
were obtained at the prices named. An
open reduction III rates of at least $40 is
anticipated before the end OF the week.
In the present frame of mind of the
transcontinental lines such reduction
might well be the precursor of rate
war which would take rank as one Of
the hottest in history.
