SAM STRAUSS TALKS.
Says Eastern People Do Not Favor
Railroad Rate Regulation.

Des Moines Register and Leader
The people of New York and the east
know little and care nothing about
railroad rates in themselves" said
Samuel Strauss, publisher Of the New
York Globe, in Des Moines, yesterday.
But they are personally and directly
Interested in railroad stocks. They
view with suspicion any proposition
which squintS at disturbance of condi-
tons that have to do with their hold
ings.
For this reason the east looks upon
the agitation for railroad rate regula-
ton with disfavor They cannot ap-
preciate the force of the representa-
ton made in some quarters, noticeably
the west, that there should be an es-
tablished tribunal to pass upon dis
putes between the shippers and the
railroads in it's broad sense That
means disputes among COM
munities and the railroads., and
l assume that there are none
who will deny that there are OBJ
legations between railroads and COM
munities. which should be discharged.
The railroads have been and are will
ing to pay enormous salaries to rail-
road rate experts; and the people Of the
cast doubt the wisdom of turning over
that matter to a few $1,000 men such
as now sit on the interstate commerce
COMMISSION.
my own judgment is that the con-
eress will do nothing along the line OF
railroad rate regulation which would
be satisfactory to those in the west,
who demand for body outside of the
railroad management the power to fix
railroad rates.
Tariff Revision is Dead.
Another thing of which I am quite
certain is that there will be no legisla
ton affecting the traiff. I think tariff
revision is dead. do not believe that
congress will do anything with the
question and / think that the people
are quiescent on the subject. The east
certainly thinks that nothing will be
done with the tariff"
will the President say anything OH
the subject in his message?"
No, I think not" said Mr.. Strauss.
II do not believe that anyone who is
POSTED expects him to refer to it.
Walter Wellman may be all right, but
he is not an authority on this subject,
believe. He is mistaken at any rate
when he says that there may be rec
ommendation on the tariff question at
the coming session, or that there may
be legislation looking to revision.
"The rebate evil in transportation
undoubtedly will be covered by legis-
revision and the sort of railroad rate
regulation, which seems to be wanted
in the west, if the people who have
appeared in the east and who favor
LEGISLATION of that sort fairly renresent

Cardinal Gibbons declares that graft

Cardinal Gibbons declares that graft
is the child of the trusts. 1t has long
been a feature of democratic conten-
tons that the tariff is the mother of
the trusts. Let us rem ember, then,
that the tariff is the grandmother of
graft, if both these arguments are
right. 1t will be interesting to follow
this family from generation to genera
ton, and when complete the history
will sound like the philosophy of Bus
ter Brown.
