H. r. bill No. 1912 is intended a remedy

TO believe that concentration of the means of produc-
ton is an economy which should and must eventual
ly rebound to the benefit of the mass of consumers,
if the powers and privileges of the aggregated forces
not abused
The thinking world has often presented the
query, "Why should every producing community
camor for the paralleing of railways, the duplicating
of depots, of officers and agents. etc. for the purposes
of lowering the cost of transportaionP y At first blush
the casual thinker even fully recognizes that the pro-
ducers the lines of these roads after the duplca-
ton have to pay the expenses of keeping up two
roads, sets of officers and agents. two depots at
each station, and duplication generally of fixed
penses. The very suggestion that such expensive,
illogical and paradoxicaly foolish remedy is thought
70 be the dernier of the oppressed and apparently
helpless public has caused publicists and great
lawyers to discriminate closely and to search deeply
for some remedy that would force transportation
company to do all of the business of community for
reasonable charge.
Every one knows that company can do all of
the business at less expense than two can do it. The
late Industrial Commission of the United States
literally supplied by Congress with all the necessary
means to search out the evils, the remedies
have and to suggest other remedial legislation The
Commission engaged F. j. Stinson of the Boston bar,
who reported that there three additional rene
dies that might be effectively applied without amend
ing the Constitution.
First that the United States may require all
great aggregations of capital to report annually to
the Secretary of the Treasury detailed statement,
exposing the condition of their investments, earnings,
and methods and if need be, to appoint examiners
similar those of national banks to investigate and
report, that the public may know whether said comb
nations are extortng nordinate profits or diserim-
mating between any points, communities or persons.
Secondly, that if any overcapitalization or So
called watered stock is found in any aggregation of
capital engaged in interstate business then to heavily
tax it, or the Government may tax such corporations

Treasures Cartoon of Himself.

Chairman Payne treasures unique
cartoon of himself which he has framed
and hanging in his committee room.
II represents the chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means sitting
at the table in his committee room
and dodging a volley of sugar beets be-
ing hurled at his head. The missiles
are coming at him thick and fast, and
one has landed upon the top of his head
Still Mr.. Payne smiles and looks happy.
On the cartoon is the caption. "Michi-
gan's contribution of beets to Chairman
Payne"
Mr.. Payne saw the cartoon and was
so much pleased with it-for it is an
excellent likeness-that he hunted up
the New York artist Mr.. W. A. Dud-
ley, of the Magazine and Press Artists
Association, and asked to purchase the
original pen-andink drawing. Mr.. Dud-
ley presented him with the sketch, with
which Mr.. Payne was so we'll pleased
that he returned the artist a check for
q tidy amount.
Mr.. Payne has had copies made to
present TO his friends.
When beet sugar man enters the
committee room the cartoon always at
tracts his attention.

the girls replied with one voice.

and he is exceedingly popular. He will
give Gaines lively race.
lone thing that makes politics so
uncertain in West Virginia this year is

see Dy the papers that Frank
O'Neill, reporter, was the man who
went to Mexico and induced Murrell,
the st. Louis booder to return and
tell all he knew about the franchise
selling" said an old resident of St.
Louis, according to the New York Tele-
gram.
We'll, that's just like O'Neill. He's
one of the best newspaper men and
also che of the best fellows in the wor d
and has probably secured more big
beats than any other man in the bus
mess.
Another big beat cost O'Neill his
job through his disgust at the utter
lack of enterprise of his employer.
That didn't matter to him, for an he
has to do is to stick his nose in the
door of newspaper office to be placed
on the payroll.
"O'Neill induced the notorious train
robber, Frank James, to come out of
the bush and surrender. He had been
with James for six weeks and had Sc
cured full history of the operations
of the James boys for twenty years
He planned for dramatic scene at
the surrender. James walked into Gov.
Crittenden's office with the dignity of a
Roman general. and presenting his
revolvers, butt foremost, to the states
chief executive, formally announced his
submission. to the law.
Then O'Neilrs story, ready for the
printers, left Jefferson City for St
Louis At Kirkwood a tunnel was on
fire, and The train cou dn't pass. O'Neill
went to the telegraph Office and filed
his 20.0O0word story.
Back came this message from the
editor; cut James story to 500 and
rush. Jewhilikins, but O'Neill was
mad. He raved and tore and swore and
pulled out whole handfuls of his POM
padour. All to no avail. The economical
editor was obdurate.
AT last O'Neill sent the paltry 500
words. Then he sent a personal mes
sage, which he offered to pay for him
self, expressing his opinion of the ed
itor and resigning. The operator
wouldn't send it with all the cuss
words, so O'Neill had to take out it's
most ornate and picturesque features.
When O'Neill reached ST. Louis he
found that all the other papers had
better stories of the surrender than his
own. He turned in his matter. how
ever, for a second day story, the paper
having paid his expenses in getting
