In his speech at the Republican
banquet at Newton last night Joseph
L. Bristow took no uncertain stand
upon the railroad question, the great
est issue that is Immediately before
the people of the United States. Mr..
Bristow's views are of more than
passing interest. inasmuch as he is re-
garded as a probable candidate for the
United States senate.
Mr. BristOw stands decidedly by
President Roosevelt. And it is no new
thing for him. for he commenced
making a fight for fair railroad rates
years ago when he was a plain kan
sas editor and long before he went to
Washington and incurred the enmitv
of the grafters.
After reviewing the history and
growth of the railroads. the saIfna
editor points out that a comparatively
few men now not only make the
transportation rates for the entire
country, but that they are enabled
thereby to control the commerce of
the country and to determine the
centers of trade. In many instances
they absolutely fix the prices of mer-
chandise.
~ 40 Gil e1AJA illustration E0GE Mr. f2rfc-
tow makes when ne says that the rail
roads are to the business men of the
/ country what the highways are to the
farmer. The business man is eoDneued
to use them the same as the farmer fs
compelled to use the highways to haul
his produce to market Yet they are
more than common highways. for the
farmer as well as The city dweller is
dependent upon them. AS we'll argues
Mr. Bristow, give corporation a
monopoly on hauling the farmers mo-
duce to town on the highways at what
ever rate it saw fit to charge, as to con
tinue the present railroad situation. The
/ corporation would only charge ..aIl the
traffic would stand" and that is what
/ the railroads do
Mr. Bristow takes a finn stand against
! government ownership, as he does against
the present condition. but he points ont
that the alternative. if the PRESIDENT
plan is not adopted, is government own
ership. The just way to improve the
situatiOn-the way to give a square dea
| to both the railroads and the publfc-is
to place the power to correct unjust
rates in the hands of a disintereste6
commission, also giving it the power
to enforce its findings, subject to a hna
review Of the courts.
There is no doubt about where Mr.
Bristow stands on the railroad issue.
