THE POOLING CONTRACTS
CONTENTION OF MIR. BLANCHARD AS
TO LEGALIZING POOLS.
Meeting of Stockholders of p, FIT. W.
Getty Passenger Agent Hice,
of the Big Four, Promoted

The articles recently published in the
Journal, written by George r. Blanchard.
commissioner of the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton, on railway competition and pooling
are attracting a good deal of attention on
account of their fairness and the fact that
they are backed by reliable statistics. There
is no longer any contention by reasonable
business men that railway freights, in view
of the service rendered, are too high
whether considered in relation to cost of
carriage or in comparison with freight
rates of other countries. Competition has
brought rates so low that the best managed
railways with difficulty avoid bankruptcy
Mr.. Blanchard in these articles shows by
what steps the railroads have reached this
condition, giving the average all-rail freight
rates on wheat from Chicago to New York
The rate in 1868 was AZ cents per bushel :;
in 1875 l4.5 cents; in 1883, 14.5 cents; in 1885,
1917 cents. The contention of Mr.
Blanchard is that the railways should be
permitted to agree upon and maintain
rates which may be deemed reasonable.
Rates approved as reasonable ought, it is
held, to have legal sanction so that rail-
roads asserting to such rates may not cut
rates with impunity thus secretly discrim-
mating in favor of certain shippers. To
agreements with this object in view the
name pool is given, and pools, it is
argued, should be made lawful by the re-
peal of the provision of the interstate
commerce law which forbids pools Since
the enactment of that law its friends and
authors have seen that the prohibition of
pooling-provided certain safeguards are
preSerVed-iS unnecessary and injurious
both to the railways and to the public Mir.
Blanchard quotes from ex-senator Reagan,
author of the interstate-commerce act and
railway commissioner of Texas, a declara-
ton as follows: Further study has caused
me to believe that the fifth section Tin rela-
ton to pooling) may be amended so as to
benefit both the railroads and the people by
allowing the railroads to enter into traffic
arrangements with one another. Many
other eminent authorities are quoted to the
same effect including state railway COM
missioners of Kansas and other less popu-
listic States. Judge Cooley, Professor Had
ley Charles Francis Adams, Simon Sterne,
Charles S. Smith and other experts concur
in the view that, provided rates be kept
reasonable there can be no reasonable OBJ
lection to pooling to prevent reckless rate
cutting.

We may now put them further TO

nail forever the free-trade lie that

this. It's collapse was due wholly to

Eau Claire Excels All.

The 3lst annual encampment Of
the Wisconsin Department Grand
Army of the Republic proves that as
the ranks Of the veterans grow thin
ner the hearts Of the people grow
warmer toward them. The encamp-
ment was never before at any place
so heartily welcomed and so royalty
entertained, The decorations were
the most elaborate, the accommodate
tions the most satisfactory. the BAN
quet the most bounteous, and the
general arrangements the most COM
plete ever known in the history Of
the department. Eau Claire people
seemed 70 have abandoned every
the entertainment Of their guests,
and no expense or labor was spared.
Directing and guiding it all, with a
zeal, energy and judgment that
marks him q General, was Geo. A.
Barry. editor Of the Daily Telegram.
His genious dominated everything,
and under his guidance the great
machine moved without hitch or
Jar from start to finish. The en-
campment at Eau Claire will be the
standard for measurement of all
great events in the history Of the
Grand Army in Wisconsin.
