The quick, vigorous campaign that tn
Democrats are making has startled and
astounded the Republicans. IIolton and
Hymns came here to open up head

and an active, aggressive opposition.
H0lton decided that something must

from the fetters Of special in
fuenCes? -.
Mr.. Pomeroy says yes. He
believes that Bryan will be
great enough and the demo-
cratic masses will be illumed
enough to press straight for
ward without compromise, and
he expects to see direct legis-
lation not far from the center
of their p purposes.
And silver? w.. =:. III +
The silver agitation is not
what it was. Most of the pro-
gressives are taking the ground
that there are other considera
tions. Silver is being put in
it's proper place among the de-
sired changes. II had letter
from Oregon yesterday said
Mr.. Pomeroy, "from a CAM
paioner who said some of these
other ideas were taking such
hold on him that he couldn't
say much about silver"
The single tax?
"Oh, l am a single taxer, OK
course, but that also is not the
only question, as so many OF
the single takers seem to think
it is. And the single tax is
not taking any real hold among
the workingmen. Whereas tho
idea of direct legislation fits in
easily with their ways of think
ing and doing. Besides the
endorsement of the American
Federation Of Labor, bodies OF
workingmen everywhere are
adopting referendum and in
itiative methods in their own
affairs and pressing it in
politics. That is where its

DIRECT LEGISLATION
Ettweed Pomer0y Talks En-
tertainingly on Direct
Legislation.
Silver Not the Issue 1t Was in
the Campaign of
1896.

of the National Direct Legis-
1ation league, and author Of
many reform books and maya
zine articles, spent Wednesday
in Duluth this week on his
semi-annua1 visit. He finds
Duluth interesting from his
particular standpoint as pro-
gressive community along the
lines of public control of mono
plies and genuine popular
government. He asked espec-
tally about the new charter.
ut is splendid chance to take
a step forward,' he said, and
was glad to hear that increased
power was referred to the
people in the draft.
Direct legislation, Mr.. Pom
eroy says, is undoubtedly gain
ing fast. The movement is
taking hold in all directions.
Not so much has been done
this year in Legislation because
but few legislatures have met
this winter. The year before
there were direct measures in
troduced in fifteen or twenty
states and in several cases the
bill for the initiative and refer
endum passed at least one
house. Conservative Mas
sachusetts passed the bill
through one house and had a
majority for it in the other if
the speaker had not held it up.
In New York two years ago a
constitutional amendment
came astonishingly near re-
ceiving the sanction of the
Legislature. Ii Nebraska a
law gives local home rule to
cities. Georgia has just passed
through one house a direct
legislation act. -
South Dakota has gone
further than any other state.
South Dakota has voted to sub
NIT a constitutional amend
ment to the people. 1t will be
voted on next fall and South
Dakota is quite likely to be the
first state to adopt this purely
democratic device. One curious
feature there is that the law
instead of saying that the ap-
plication for popular reference
of a measure must have not
less than so and so many 81 e.
natures, says it must have not
more than five per cent-1eav-
ing it to the Legislature to say
how much less. .
AS a national measure?
Well, there is a very good
chance that it will have it's
proper place in the next demo-
cratic platform as it has and
will continue to have in the
populist creed. Bryan tried
to have it put in the Chicago
platform and it was there until
a few minutes before the plat
form was reported, when it was
taken out to please some of the
southern democrats.
Senator Allen is soon to pre-
sent, as a minority report on
direct Legislation, an extensive
argument, for which Mr.. Pom
eroy has collected a vast deal
of material. It may not result
in any immediate step toward
national adoption-more pro-
gress is coming by way of the
states and cities-but it will
have wide circulation and
without any doubt considerable
influence.
Speaking of Bryan, will the
new democratic party really be
democratic? Will the leaders
have courage to break away

HAVE the POWER
The Railroads Have the Power
TO Shut Out
All
Enterprises That Do Not
Please the
Owners.

WV
aid the other day that a firm
was figuring on putting idle
ground. to use near Two Har-
bors, building a saw mill and a
village, and making several
blades of grass grow in place
of one-which all economists
hold to be praisworthy work.
It was further reported that
the Iron Range railroad COM
pany disapproved of the pro-
iect for reasons of it's own, and
and that the protector received
an intimation that in the first
place he wouldn't be. allowed
to cross the railroad right of
way, which was essential to
his scheme, and in the second
place that if he tried to de-
velop town site, the railroad
company. would sell lots in
Two Harbors at prices that
would shut him out entirely.
This report has not not been
denied by Mr.. Greatsinger or
anybody else on behalf of the
railroad. It is a report they
would be very apt to deny if it
was not true. Or even if it was
not correct, there is nothing
unlikely in such a, story. The
railroad has the power to for
bid any enterprise that does
not please it's owners. The
tract of land involved, they may
want to buy for themselves.
The community they want to
develop on their own lines.
The little rents they may wish
to control. And they have the
power to do it.
A day or two later the News
Tribune printed a tale. of woe
from one of the independent
mine owners on the Mesaba
range. They are called indie
pendent because they are not
owned outright by either rail-
road company. They are, in
fact, dependent on the pleasure
of the railroads. The rate on
ore from the mines to the lakes
is ninety cents, or from Ely
one dollar. The outside mine
owners would like to have it
fixed at sixty cents or better,
forty. The railroads won't hear
of it.
Good reason why. The rail-
road companies also own most
of the mines. They must limit
the production of ore or the
Mesaba range will swamp the
market. Why should they en-
courage the outside shippers
to produce enough to cut their
profits in two? They are not
there for their health. It is
hard for them to keep the ore
pool from overflowing anyway.
Owning the railroads enables
them to control the Mesaba and
Vermillion ranges absolutely.
They can prevent others from
shipping, or at least from COM
peting with them on equal
terms, and they can compel
owners of mine properties to
treat with them vixen they
come to sell, or any way make
it hard for them to sell to any
body else.
No. the owners of the rail-
roads don't care if they could
get more traffic by reducing
ore rates. They are very we'll
satisfied as it is. They would
rather do business with them
selves-in which as usual they
show their perspicacity-and
retain control of the ore market
| retain control of the mining
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1898-03-26

Another chapter in this same
tale of woe, related in the News
is that the independent owners
went down to the last legisla-
ture or the one before the last,
proposing to get relief from this
extortion. They subscribed
$4,000 to promote the nee
essary legislation. They found
when their agents got to ST..
Paul to take soundings that
the railroad company interests
had fund of $4,000 on tap
and as much more, as neces-
sary. What was the use of
bucking a. combination like
that? They letit drop.
1t is another sad thing that
whether this story is true or
not, nobody takes the trouble to
doubt it. The monopoly would
spend as much money as was
necessary to protect it's monop-
oly-nobody would think of
doubling tnat; we all take it
for granted. And the argu-
ment would be effective with
the Legislature. We take that
for granted too. We hear that
the Legislature can be con-
trolled by the longest purse;
the only warranted genuine
republican paper in town
prints the report without rails
ing any, question-and if the
News had denied it, people
would have: been all the more
convinced it was true-and
without further evidence we
all assume that of course it is
true.
Whether 1t is true of the cor
porations, and it probably is;
whether it is true of the 1egis-
lature, and it probably is, it is
certainly true that we are in
different to this tremendous
scandal, this fundamental rot
tenness Of our public affairs.
And that is the worst of all.
Repentance must come not
from the corporations, not from
the politicians, but first of all
from the people.
What is the use of temporiz-
ing? The railroads have the
power of life and death over
any community, any industry.
What is the sense of giving
that power of life and death to
any corporation and then ex-
pecting them to exercise it in
the public interest or of at
tempting to moderate their ex-
excise of it by regulation? 1t is
too great power to be trusted
to any private interests.
And corruption-we know
over and over that corruption
is not bred 50 much by public
service as by private service of
public needs. This is only
another case in point. The
railroad monopoly must main
tain a perpetual lobby, sub
scribe an inexhaustible corrup-
ton fund. And we get so used
to it that we never blush.
Who is going to help it? You
can wait forever for the busi-
ness men to act. You can wait
forever and a day for the great
and powerful to correct these
abuses. The common people
will have to do it. Government
ownership of railroads, public
control of public monopolies
will come about by the thought
and toll and struggles of the
plain men of the farm and
workshop.
