The launch, flying through the rough

Thomas had not reached the deck when
Commodore Morgans arms were around his

doing so. 1t is the strangest thing in eco
nomfcs to find the steel and iron companies
favorable to an increase, while the rail-
roads have been holding back
He did not look for any substantial ad-
vantage from publicity of the affairs of
railroad companies, but he had no objec-
ton to having his book examined by a
government accountant.
He thought that the railroads of the
country at large could not be reproduced
for the amount of their bonded and stock
Indebtedness He did not mean that these
roads are all worth their bonded and stock
Indebtedness, because there had been some
miscalculations IN investments, and some
roads are hot worth what they lost.
He did not think the subject of excess
siVe rates. was one of any moment at the
present. True, the Baltimore and Ohio is
hauling freight at the rate of 31z mills per
ton, and GOAL atGfrom 3 to ~ mills a ton.
He thought that very near the vanishing
point. Speaking of traffic from different
industries, he said the traffic going in and
coming out of Pittsburg for Mr. Carnegie's
establishment alone is four and half times
as great as the entire cotton tonnage OF
the country.
Government Ownership Folly.
He thought. that government ownership
of railroads would be case of sublime
folly.
Mr.. Cowen spoke at some length on the
SUBJECT OF SocialiStic schemes, and referred
to the work of Malleck on Labor and
Popular Welfare" and agreed with that
author that labor without the organizing
genius of today and the help of capital
could not earn anything like what Is now
paid it. He was satisfied the -sociaistic
plans OF ownership are wrong and would
not be conducive to the general welfare.
Mr.. Cowan said that Maryland has a
magnlhcent example of the failure of pub
lie ownership. He said the bed of Chesa-
peake bay is capable of producing wealth
greater than the value of the corn of Hi
nois, the gold of California and the wheat
OF the Dakotas, yet it's wasted because of
a species of public ownership. Turn the
bed of that bay over to private owner
ship, he said, and it's true value would be
realized.
President Stuyyesant Fish Testffies.
At the afternoon session at 2:35 o'clock
Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish, president of the IL
linois Central railroad, appeared and tesJi-
fed.
The industrial commission has a knotty
question, which it wants some authorized
person to decide.
1t is to determine when the legal exist
ence of the commission really began. This
p1oblematical date is between the 18th of
September and the 10th of December of
last year. The controller of the treasury
and the Attorney General have each been
asked to decide the question, but both have
declined to do so.
