The Union Pacific Railway COM
pany is said to be pleased with it's
experiment in the running of a gaso-
line motor car, and announces it's in
tention of building more of the same
character. 1t has inaugurated a new
idea that should result in decided ad-
vantage to the people living along it's
lines. Where there is a demand for
passenger and mail service on branch
lines where it will not pay to operate
trains this single gasoline car should
answer the demands of patrons in an
effectual manner and it is probable
that the motor car service Of the rail
roads in the near future will become
an important department. One
freight train day and several motor
cars would give numerous branches
a service such as they do not now re
ceive and one that the companies car
afford to give.

Some Americans like to figure out
the probable effect If Great Britain
the United States and Japan should
form an alliance. Great Britain is
the ruling influence in Europe, in the
western hemisphere the United States
certainly has no rival and in Asia the
Japanese are proving their ability to
rule the situation regardless of the
wishes Of others. This would certain

it hardly seems necessary to make
such an alliance, each demonstrating
its power to care for its own individ.

and this country particularly has
proven able to paddle its own canoe

dered it to keep hands off.

VIOLATE LAW EVERY DAY.
Railroads Make no Pretense OF obey.

Railroads Make no Pretense OF Obey.
ina Provisions Of Sherman Act.
Chicago April 2G-Walter Well
man, in Washington special to the
Record-Herald, says:
That all the railroads of the United
States violate the Sherman antitrust
law almost every day in the year was
the somewhat startling admission
made by a prominent railroad man
before the senate interstate commerce
committee last week.
This violation consists of combina-
tions between competing roads in the
making of rates to common points.
1t is not denied that this joint rate
making is Combination in restraint
of trade" but it is not probable the
government will attempt to prose-
cute the railroads. II it were to do
so, it would soon have its hands full
of litigation. The railroad managers
claim it is impossible to do business
at all without such technical violation
of the statutes.
Victor MorawetZ, general counsel
for the Atchison, told the senate COM
mittee that common carriers had been
permitted to arrange among them
selves for the making and for the
preservation of reasonable rates. He
does not advocate pool-making, pure
and simple, nor did he want the rail-
roads to be permitted to enter into
binding agreements, but that they be
| 90
what would be a proper rate and to
put the rate into effect without SUBJ
| jecting themselves to possible prose-
cutiOn under the Sherman antitrust
| laws
Senator Dolliver inquired how the
railroads managed this now, and Mr..
Morewetz replied that they do it not
withstanding the Sherman act. He
added: at would be impossible to
work under the Sherman act unless
the carriers got together from time to
time to discuss the subject of rates
and fix schedules of rates to be put
in force by all the parties who are
interested"
Senator Dollver asked if the courts
had not enjoined that sort of thing.
Mr.. Morawetz said there was no agree
ment on the part of the carriers.
There was simply an interchange Of
ideas, ending in a common under
standing.
ut may be said with great deal
of force" he continued, that while
it is not contract it is a combina-
tion'
THAT is prohibited by law" inter-
jected Senator Elkins.
"If that is violating the law" de-
clared Mr.. Morawetz, then it would
be impossible to observe the law
without producing chaos. 1t would
be absolutely impossible to make
schedules of rates and have any sort
: of uniformity of action in this coun-
} try If the representatives Of the car
riers cannot get together and talk of
the matter"
, The railroads would like to have
the statutes changed. They fear that
some day we may have an administra.
. ton that will insist on enforcing the
law to the letter
