railroad rates. I'VE will obey the
laws, but there is a limit to railway
legislation. 1ney cannot confscate
our property. The constitution OF the
United States still prevents that" !
Throughout the offices Of the great
railroad president there is a calm Sc
renity and one would never suspect
that he was in the head office OF a
$500, OOO, 900 corporation, controlling
three of the greatest American rail
roads. The United States supreme
court has dissolved this corporation.
It's stock sold yesterday at $126 for
a 500 share.
Mr.. Hill on Rates.
The master spirit of this corpora
ton, and the greatest living railroad
builder and operator is James j. Hill,
who says:
The transportation rates OF Ameri-
can railroads are the wonder OF the
| entire world. Nowhere else are they
SO cheap. Managers from Europe
come here to examine our system and
marvel at what they see. In England
the average rate per ton per mile is
2.38 cents. In France, Germany and
other continental countries it falls
lower, until in Russia, where the con-
ditions of long hauls are more like
our own, the minimum is reported. In
America our rates average only rs
cents per ton per mile, AZ per cent OF
the lowest European rate. Yet our
wages are the highest in the world.
In Russia railroad employees receive
$12 to $40 a month for work for which
he pay $50 to $50 a month.
Had the Great Northern received
the same average rate per ton per
mile in 1903 as in 1882 it would have
collected $50, sol 100 as freight earn.
ings. while the actual collections were
$50, 915, 234, a decrease through reduc-
lions in freight rates OF $59,904,S75.

the state urging them to comply with
the law in this respect.
.Tt NAV be claimed by many that
there are not as many deaths In otnef
nlaces in the state as there are IN
Suite. on account of the mining accl
dents there. This point was consld-
cred. and before looking into the mat
ter we were inclined to credit Butte
with more deaths to the extent or the
deaths due to mining accidents there,
but on a careful study of the causes
of deaths as coming from other parts
of the state, we find that there are as
many deaths due to violence, IN pro-
portion 10 the whole number reported,
as there are in Butte in proportion to
the whole number reported there.
.sWith these facts before us we can
see no reason why the death rate
should be higher in Butte than 1t is IN
Mossula or Deer Louge, or any other
county in the state. The fact is hat
about 2,zOO people died in this state
last wear of whose death no record
was made, and practically the same
condition prevails with regard to
births.
Condition Is a Shame.
"It is a shame that.such a condition
as this should eXis. IN a state as pro-
gressiye as ours and we therefore
urge the honorable legislature to give
us a law that will place u state upon
the list of registration states
"The Importance of registration OF
births ana deaths is admitted by all.
There is not a man who has a thor
onghhred COW or horse, OR even a
thoroughbred dog, who would lose any
time in seeing tnat it was properly
registered. Failure to register your
thoroughbred stock may deduct a few
dollars from their sale price, but TALL
ure to register the birth of a child or
the death Of a parent may deprive the
child of all interest in the estate it Is
entitled to; yes, it may deprive the
child of it's very name. No man car
be absolutely sure that the legal reg
lister of the county in which he wa
born will never be required to deter
mine his rightful name.
.SWe insist that our fine COWS, oul
} horses, our dogs be registered, bu
what about our children Let us have
a law that will, in no undecldet
terms, absolutely require that ever
child that is born in this state hav'
his or her name properly registered il
the proper records OIL this state, an
!, any n in our state, old or young
goes to that city from whose borne n
traveller has ever returned, let sue
departure be properly recorded. LIE

2 thought as we do our yellow dogs"

PRESIDENTS OF WESTERN ROADS
FEAR STATE LEGISLATION.
SECRETARY MOR70N'S PLAN
e. n. Hartman Condemns President
Rosevelt's Recommendations
to Congress.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-The. warfare
against excessive rates demanded by
American railways is taking on new
phases. developments coming to light
in the east, in the far west and in
Chicago.
A Chicago railroad president who
attended the Ripley dinner in New
York last week, told what happened
on that occasion. In brief it was this:
E. H. Hartman was rabid in his
| condemnation of President Roose-
yelt's recommendation thai congress
| confer on the interstate commerce
, commission power to name and en-
force rates pending appeals to courts.
But the western railway chiefs OPP
posed the Hartman view and a
clear their opinion that it the rail-
roads stood out against corrective ma
tional legislation, they would be the
worse sufferers.
The westerners also made it plain
that they had more fear of state legls
latures, especially when backe by the
aroused anger of the people.
Other eastern president agreed
with Hartman in his criticism OF the
Roosevelt plan.
All agreed that congress should be
induced to appoint an inquiry com
mission from among it's W mem
bers, hoping in this way that leglsla
ton and the evil day might be post
