Burlington To Hold 1t.

burlington 10 Hold 1t.
There is no such thing as a five
year mail contract to be awarded
by the United States government
to the road making the besr time
between Chicago and the Union
Pacific transfer at Council Bluffs"
said Chief Clerk Penn of the rail-
way mail service to representa-
tive of the Daily Capital this
morning in answer to the question
"When will the government an
nounce the winner of the mail
CONTRACT for carrying the mail
from the lakes to the transfer?"
"Then we are to understand
that the Leader, the Register and
the News are laboring under a
a misrepresentation" GU ,ried the
newspaper man.
Yes, SIT. The only contract en-
tered into by the government with
the Burlington was the one made
fifteen years ago, when it was
given the contract of carrying the
present mail. AS long as it main
tains its schedule and gets to the
transfer on time, just that long
will it be allowed to carry the
mail. With the Northwestern
and the Rock Island the condi-
tions are identical. They will be
permitted to carry the mail which
they are now carrying as long as
the government is satisfied with
the service which it is now get
ting. 1t has not been the inten-
ton of the three competing roads
to wrest the job of carrying Uncle
Sans mail from the other. On
the contrary, it has been and is
their object to maintain their
schedule and get the trans-con-
tinental mail to the transfer on
time that will meet the require
ments of the government.
HUGGING A DELUSION.
1t would seem from the above
that the majority of the people
have been indulging in a delight
full delusion. All has been expey-
fancy in the matter of the myth
cal award of a FIVE year mail con-
tract and many have actually hug
ged themselves in delirious JOY at
at the prospect of their favored
road getting the rich job so long
held by the Burlington. The
roads, however, knew all along
that the hot runs across the state
we're not made for the purpose of
securing a mail contract from
Uncle Sam, but rather to show
the government that they were
enabled to make and maintain
some very warm time. There is a
rule to the effect that if road
running into the transfer is late
with the mail, fine amounting to
considerable proportions is levied,
and if this sort of thing is con-
tinued, it would eventually result
in the revocation of the old con-
tract. This, however, is very
improbable supposition, as the
three systems have demonstrated
that they are able to meet the re-
|quirements of the postal authori-
ties with ease. The railway mail
service does not consider the runs
made between the three roads in
the nature of a race. OF course,
independent of what the govern
ment thinks in regard to the mat
ter, neither are willing to let the
other beat their time, but as~far
as running to satisfy the aeme.nd
of the government, therse is nj
such object in vieADaily Stat
Capital.

for their products from the whole
range of separate manufacturers: now.
they know nothing of such competition
except on its adverse side. that is as
sellers of their wares. and thus have
virtually no control over their selling
prices and are entirely at the mercy of
the trusts. except in those cases where
the products have Il foreign market as
we'll as the home demand Under
these circumstances, there certainly
should be little difficulty in the
monopolies commencing themselves TO
consumers by the moderate prices of
their products. if they should be dis
posed to such gratuitous gen.
crosby: but what becomes of that
large proportion of the community en-
gagged in the production of raw ma
terials? Where does their compensa-
ton come in for the inevitable cutting
down of the prices of their products?
And as that pressure must fall chiefly
upon the lower grades of labor, where
comes the gain to the masses whose
earnings generally range below $40 a
week? The net result of the system is
not TO entirely abolish competition, but
to effect new and one-sided redis-
tribution of it; protecting the nonop-'
olies from 1T both in buying and
selling; depriving the distributors of
its advantages both as sellers and buy
ers; and leaving the producer of raw
materials but one party with whom he
may deal"
