An Eastern Parable.

It is only by our spiritual scattering
that we can gather in, and it is only
by laying down our lives that we can
save them. An old eastern parable
goes thus: A merchant was about to
90 into a far country. He gave to two
friends couple of sacks Of wheat
apiece. He said, 'Take care Of these
for me until return" Years passed,
and the merchant returned. He said

the government and from the payment
Of which no citizen is or should be ex-
empted The railway charge is paid only
by those who voluntarily use the facilities
which have been provided at the cost OF
others"
This is the most specious plea Of all. The
entire area OF the United States has been
covered by the railroads with blanket mort
cages in the shape of bonds aggregating
$500 900 OOO The interest on these bonds
constitutes the fixed charges which in
every instance are exacted from railway
patrons in addition to the cost of opera
ton and maintenance. They constitute a
tax upon all the live stock, grain, fruit,
vegetables and products of the farm
orchard and ranch transported to market
by rail. They are tax upon the product
of every mill and factory. upon every com
modify and article consumed by the people
on the farm, in the village, town and city.
This tax is paid by all men, women and
children, consciously or unconsciously, and
is always collected before the goods are
delivered or the service rendered.
Contention Merely a ScarecrOw.
The contention that comforting the
rate making power upon the national COM
mission would paralyze the railroads and
ruin the investors, is merely a scarecrow.
The rate making power has been declared
by the supreme court of the United States
to be a legislative function and not an ad-
ministrative or judicial function. The rate
making power has been exercised by the
legislatures of most of the states, either
directly or indirectly. through railroad
commissions empowered to establish maxi
mum rates or to require railroads to dis
continue rates that are considered unrea-
sonable.
The right Of state legislatures and state
railway commissions to exercise this func-
ton was affirmed by the supreme court of
the United States in the Granger" cases,
where the issue was squarely made to
whether the legislature had the power to
supervise railroads and regulate railroad
rates, and whether 1t was authorized to
delegate this power to another body. If
the legislatures of the states have the
right to exercise the function of regulation,
and If, moreover. they have the right to
delegate the power to a subordinate body,
there can be no question that the same
power is vested in congress with regard
to national railway regulation.
AS a matter of fact, 1t has been exercised
by congress in the passage of the inter-
state commerce law and even extended
beyond the domain of public carriers into
the Industrial domain monopolized by the
trusts, through the enactment of the Sher-
man antitrust law. The over-shadowing
issue before the coming congress and for
the next few years, at least will be the
railway regulation and supervision. Should
congress fail to grapple with this issue
successfully, the American people will be
compelled to array themselves in favor OF
government ownership, however much risk
and however many sacrifices 1t will In

view of Railroad OmciaI.
In an address recently delivered before
the Traffic club of Pittsburg, that is being
widely circulated. Samuel Spencer, presi-
dent Of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, de-
clares that: Such enactments would not
be regulation. They would mean inoipient,
II not final, control OF the sources of revenue
of all the carriers. The effect of such
regulation undoubtedly would be the cur"
taiment Of future railway construction and
improvements, not only by reason of the
impairment of railway credit. but also from
the unwilingness OF investors to own or to
enlarge properties, the revenues OF which
would be practically under govern
mental or political control.
Under such legislation the functions OF
railway managers in adjusting rates to
meet commercial conditions and In extend
ing the sphere of usefulness of the trans
portation system of the country would step
by step come TO an end. Slowly, but
steadily paralysis would creep into the
industrial arteries through which the blood
OF commerce flows and the transportation
system would gradually become numb and
rigid The present activities of railway
managers would be eliminated as an agency
In the intelligent development of the re-
sources of the country.
Rates would soon be machine-made only
and commercial and industrial centers, now
acknowledging no bounds for the ultimate
distribution of their products would find
themselves operating in narrower and mar
rover zones, finally circumscribed by gov
ernmental edicts to where their wares
should CO. And last, but not least, inno-
cent investors would have their property
jeopardized and their rights infringed and
100000 employees would have their wages
reduced"

supervision and regulation the same rail.

they may be, as they are to a great extent

other words, they NAV be either entirely

BILE: to regulated monopoly. which is in

be the ultimate outcome"
This clear-cut presentment by James Il.
Hole, in his work on THE Naturalization
Of Railways" is the kernel of the moment
Gus Issue with which the American people
are confronted.
The railway has become the great high
way of nations. 1t Is a function Of gov
eminent to control II not 10 own all pub
lie highways. The arbitrary exercise OF
sovereign power delegated to them by the
people through their charters places within
their grasp the unbridled reins OF govern
ment. IN their very nature TdllTOHus are
monopolies. Uncontrolled and unrestrained
in their cxactions, they levy tribute upon
the producer and consumer The calm,
dispassionate side of the railroad question
as II now confronts the American people
discloses these staggering facts. six
groups OF American railroad magnates con-
troll and operate 10000 OF the 10000 miles
of railroad within the United States, and
the acquisition by the same six groups of
railway autocrats of the remaining $4,000
miles Of railway is progressing so rapidly
that 1t is almost a fcregone conclusion
that all but a few thousand miles of unim-
portant railway, will be under their con-
lrol and management within the next de-
.ade. The six great railway systems that
now enjoy a practical monopoly Of the
yast traffic in these United States are
capitalized for more than $1,000, 100000.
Che roads not yet acquired by them are
capitalized for about 5000, 100000. OF this
capitalization $1,000 100000 represents the

Paderewski's Tusculum is. Its location is
some distance away from the road, yet
easily accessible. If you visit the pleasing
little town of Morges, on the Lake of
Geneva and walk west toward the pic
turesque village of Jolochenaz, you will in
quarter of an hour reach shady park,
amid which the Chalet de Rioand Bosom
presents an imposing appearance. If you
heed the warning notice on the gate:
'N'entres pas sans sonner, prenez garde
aux chiens,' you may enter the grounds
without danger. At most you will risk
having your clothes torn, for Paderewskl's 8
dogs have particularly sharp teeth. BY
way of compensation, there are many beau
tiful things to see on the other side Of
the wire fence. OF course the little castle
of the Polish virtuoso is not open to
everybody, not even in the absence Of the
owner, but all may visit the beautiful
park which was planted by the duchess of
Otranto. The widow of Fouche, the no.
torious police commissioner OF Napoleon
I, bought this place in 1923, and occupied
It long time. After her death the Chalet
de Rionad Bosson came into possession of
her heirs, the Viscount dEstournel and
the Count LeMarois. who sold it In 1898
to Paderewski. On emerging from the
shady walks Of the park, the visitor
comes upon an enchanting scene. In the
foreground lies the antique little town OF
Morges; back of it is the semi-circular
blue expanse OF the lake, and beyond that
tower the snowy peaks of the Alps.
Doubly beautiful is this view on a fine

President Strikes Keynote,
President Roosevelt has struck the key
note of the railroad problem in his mes
sage to congress in December, when he de-
clared: THE rebate, the secret contract,
the private discrimination, must 60 The
highways of commerce must be kept open
to all on equal terms" In support OF this
broad declaration President Roosevelt has
made specific recommendation that the In
terstate Commerce commission be vested
with power, where a given rate has been
challenged and found to be unreasonable, to
decide, subject to judicial review, what
rate shall take its place, with authority
to put that rate into effect Immediately
after it had made its decision, and to keep
it in effect until 1t shall have been pro-
nounced unreasonable by a court of COM
petent Jurisdiction.
Acting upon the presidents recommenda-
tion. the lower house of congress passed a

a month before the close of the session
this bill failed to receive consideration by
the senate and protracted discussion OF
its merits and demerits is now in progress
before the United States senate committee
on interstate commerce.

of the interstate commerce law, the most
