To School OFFICIALS, Teachers and
Parents,

An editorial in the Walla Walla Statesman
of the eighteenth of April quoting from an
alleged Miss Murdoch and commenting there
on is tissue of malicious misrepresentation
Its publication was doubtless secured by some
inscriptions rival for its effect on pending
adoptions in Washington. Our capital stock
is stated at sixteen (I6) times its real amount
1t is matter of public knowledge that we
have only moderate share of Chicago bust
ness. The incident alleged to have occurred
when Miss Murdoch processes to have been
in a New York private school never occurred
nor anything similar thereto. These three main
misstatements are characteristic of the whole
ibelous and scurrilous article. We appeal to
the educational authorities in the counties and
cities of Washington to judge our books on
their merit and ourselves on our dealings with
them and not allow themselves to be misled by
libelous falsehoods circulated by our rivals and
others, AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY. by

PUMPED AIR INTO THE CITY GAS
indianapolis Public Service Corpora
ton Detected in an illegal Practice

The people of indianapolis have
been edited by the discovery, just
made by their city officials that the
gas company has been selling them
large quantities OF Indiana atmo-
sphere. at the rate of 80 cents thou
sand feet They have wondered for
years why their gas jets jumped and
fluttered between intervals of steady
burning and some of them have
smelled rat. The other day the city
engineer and his assistants suddenly
invaded one of the gas plants and
caught the corporation red handed in
the act of mixing common air with
the Illuminating material. A big
rotary fan was blowing air into the
mains at the rate of eighteen feet a
minute. The officials of the company
explained that the gas was to rich"
and that it was necessary to tone it
down to make it of the strength re-
quired to meet the city regulations,
an explanation that fails to explain
in the light of the charge that the
required candle power is not main
tanned and has not been for months.

FOR RATE CONTROL
PROFESSOR RIPLEY OF HARVARD
TAKES THIS VIEW
Railway Power Has Grown so Great
That Only Efficient Government
Regulation, not Sham Supervision,
Will Bring the People Relief

Mr.. Olney's recently published
views on the railroad question prove
to have been expressed simultaneous
ly with an exposition of the same
question by an economist In whom
great confidence is reposed, William
2. Ripley, professor of economics at
Harvard. Mr.. Olney argues against
government control of the railroads
principally on technical legal grounds
There are serious obstacles" he
would say, hence it cannot be done. ;"
Mr.. Ripley takes a different ground.
He would say: 'sThe public welfare
demands public control. hence it must
be done"
Small Groups Rule
Professor Ripley finds that the
freight business in the country has
increased in the last fourteen years
eight times as fast as the population,
that the gross income in that time
has doubled and the net income
trebled. In spite or antitrust legis-
latiOn, a process of consolidation has
in the meanwhile gone. on in east,
south and west by which competition
has been almost entirely eliminated,
and in the course of which control of
the properties doing this enormously
increasing business mas been taken
away from the stockholders and
placed with small groups of men rep
resenting an insignificant portion of
the Rock Island system, where con-
troll of nearly 500 millions is welded
by twenty-five millions
Rates Are Now Rising
Professor Ripley finds that a grad
ual fall in rates prevailed until these
consultations were erected, and OBJ
serves significantly that the trend
was reversed Immediately after, and
that rates have now been for several
years on the increase. These in
creases are made usually by changes
in classification, changes which are
not made by single systems, but
freight associations OF all the sys-
TENS in territory. Thus the trend
of rates is controlled by agreements
between systems, made openly under
the guise of traffic associations. He
quotes from the decision of the fed
eral judge in the case in which the
railroads of the south arbitrarily by
association agreement raised lumber
rates by a half: s'In that territory,
as regards every interest dependent
upin the transportation OF cOmmOdi-
ties, the action of the association is
more authoritative than the frman
of the sultan or the ukase OF the
car
Sees One Cure Only
Professor Ripley arrives at an
agreement with Mr.. Olney as to the
autocratic power over the American
welfare that is welded by the rail-
road managers. But here he prompt
ly parts company with his Boston
neighbor. His American spirit rebels
at the thought of submitting to this
sort of despotism, even though, per-
chance, it be a benevolent one; and
so his conclusion is: "A power too
vast and arbitrary is loose among us.
And there is but one remedy for the
condition. Real, efficient control, and
1ot sham supervision by e fedora
administrative commission IS the
need of the hour"

regarding the legislative pool OF the
Equitable, the New York Life and the
Mutual This pool, ne said, was di-
vided equally among the three COM
panies, and its Watcnfulness extend
ed to practically every state in the
union He denied, however, that the
legislative agents used money to in
fiuence legislation.
Andrew Hamilton, as shown by for
mer testimony, was the New York
Lies man, although Auditor Main
said he had been paid nearly $4,000
by the Equitable, also, since 1895. E.
l.. Short, the Mutual's general solicit
tor, and w. T. Hummel, an attorney
in his office, were that companys spe-
cial representatives, but received fire.
quent payments from the Equitable.
Where the Agents Worked
The work of the legislative agents
was Systematically arranged. Hamil-
ton looked out for things in the mid
die western states, while Hummel had
charge of matters in the New England
states, with the exception of Massa
chusetts, and in the middle Atlantic
states, with the exception of New
York The Equitable through its own
special agents attended to legislative
matters in the southern states. In
Massachusetts and Georgia it main
tanned representatives on regular sal
airy, and had paid out money for spe-
cial work in Massachusetts, Georgia
and California.
It is said to be the purpose to fol-
low up the lead given by Mr.. Mains
testimony and to discover, if possible,
what sums have been paid into this
pool by the three big companies.
Executive Officers Control
Mr.. Schiff, who had preceded Mr..
Main on the witness stand, testified
that the directors of the Equitable
were negligible quantities. Even as
a member of the finance committee,
he said, he knew nothing of what was
the executive officers, who absolutely
controlled, chose to tell him. The
executive committee, he said, had
usurped all the powers of the finance
committee, SO that the latter had only
power to suggest or advise invest
ments which must be finally passed
upon by the executive committee. A
pretense at a check on matters was
made by the appointment of an audit
ing committee of two once a year. J.
H. Hyde named the auditors. Mr..
Schiff did not think it was right for
Mr.. Hyde to participate personally in
the syndicates, but did not know until
these disclosures, he said, that Mr.
Hyde had done SO. He thought mat
ters might be largely the same in the
other insurance companies as in the
Equitable.
