ours to run as We please, and any at
tempt to curb us is an attempt on
our private property. and violation
Of our personal rights"
And the main argument of the rail-
roads is the danger which must be
involved in intrusting to a commits
sion consisting of five or Of 80 men"
the power to actually touch the rate
making practices OF the railroads. No
commission, no branch of the execu-
tive, no department of the federal
government, is honest enough or wise
enough to deal with the question of
making rates on freight. That is the
sober contention Of the New York
Chamber of Commerce, voicing the
railway interests; 1t is the contention
of President Spencer of the Southern
railroad before congress; 1t is the
whole theme Of the literature which
the railroads are sending out in vast
valumes from their propaganda bu-
reau recently set up in New York
city.
How about it?
Where does this vast power now
lodge?

owning interests. shall not fear con-
tradictiOn If 1 say that this power
now rests practically in the hands of
half dozen men, and that, with the
trend toward consolidation rapidly
going on, it will not be many months
or years before it will be in the
hands of fewer number Of men than
1t now is.
Are these men more trustworthy to
exercise this vast power than any
agency of the public at large? Are
the agents of the people too incom-
petent, too dishonest, too untrust-
worthy to be trusted with power
great enough to deal with so great
an institution as the railroad system
of the land? These are the questions
the railroad interests are raising.

OREGON MINE
MAKES STRIKE

" r.. f. Corbus, superintendent and
general manager of the Oregon mine
on Summit Flats, Idaho, is in the
city on business for his company.
Mr.. Corbus says a fine strike has
lately been made on the Oregon. A
double compartment shaft with most
approved machinery is now down 90
feet and fine ore is being taken out
The pay ore is three feet in width
and averages $50 per ton. A new
stamp mill is being installed and
will soon be in operation.

ernmental system; so long as the
commissioners are not subject to re-
moval by the president and their
Findings Are without Force
until approved by four-year trial
in the judiciary, just so long the
railroads are eager to uphold the
presidents hands" in his plans for
governmental regulation. To be regu-
lated by a commission which they
control, to be regulated by them
selves, Is the ideal system of regu-
lation, for a continuance of which
they are now pleading, and against
the adjustment of which they are
standing like a rock.
If it be asked, what is'the vital
thing in the administrations plan for
railway legislation, the answer is
this: To make a beginning of real
regulation.
The president wants to lodge a real
power in some organ of the govern
ment. and put an end to the private
property regime of American rail-
reading. He holds that the cry of
private property" raised by the rail-
roads is false. A railroad differs in
many respects from a barber shop,
even as public street differs from
a mans back yard. -
There are certain public rights
connected with the highway which
do not appertain to a back yard. The
ri oht Of oil man RI baya eo,1aI fraa-
dom of passage in the street is po-
litical right. The right of the people
to have fair and equal use of the
steam railways Is likewise a political
right. The state lends to the man
who builds a railroad the power Of
eminent domain, it. lends him the
privilege of corporate existence with
the power to hold real estate in per-
petuity, to sue and be sued, and to
do a multitude of diverse business
it gives him the protection of
State and Federal Police
and insures him unrestricted access
from one state into another. In
short. there are a hundred privileges
accorded by the government to these
huge corporate beings know as rail-
roads, which are not enjoyed by the
private citizen, and which equip these
corporations with the strength of
giants in the commercial world. and
put the individual citizen absolutely
at their mercy.
And yet. when the government pro-
poses to assume regulative control
over these corporations. the cry of
the managers is: Private property!
These railroads are ours! They are
