Disreputable Tactics

of Misrepresentation 'n",

railroad rates based upon mll'-
age. Such rates would prov
d;sasterous to South Dakota :
wheat and cattle INDUSTRIES
OF course the News knows the
president does not ask that any
such rate making powers shai'
be vested in a COMMISSION
Judge Prouty of the interstate
commerce commission recently
answered this oft repeated ms
representation as follows: y
correct understanding OF Just
what the president proposes
answers that question of itself
President Roosevelt proposes TO
confer upon the interstate COM
MERGE commission not the rate
making but the rate-regulatlng
power. The railroads are en-
tirely free to put in effect any
rate which they choose, and the
rates which they establish can
not be changed unless upon COM
plant and after full inve stiga'
ton. If complaint is made and
the commission determines after
hearing of all parties that the
rate complained offs unreason'
able, then and only then it may
order the carriers to charge II
place of the unjust rate one

Note in the above quotation
from Judge Prouty where he
says, the railways are free to
put into effect any rate which
they choose, and the rates which
they establish cannot be changed
unless upon complaint and afte1
full investigation" Now thu
News takes that sentence AM
twists it into meaning that tn

There was a little squabble in
the city council last Monday
evening which doesn't show up
in the official report. Kruger
Bros. had bill in for $511.5O for
dirt at Is cents per yard, which
they draw from the excavation on
Third avenve, while Frank Shee-
ley had a bill for $55,25 for dirt
drawn from the HAITI excavation.
This dirt is usedabout the streets
for filling under direction of the
committee on streets and alleys.
The question was raised by AID
erman Hutchens as to why the
Kruger boys we're being paid Is
cents per yard when Shelley was
only getting 10 cents. After
considerable cross-fring the
democrat alderman from the
First ward made a motion that
inasmuch as the dirt was consid-
cred worth Is cents that Sheeley
be also paid Is cents. This no
ton was supported by Alderman
Hoberton but it was withdrawn
upon the agreement that this ex-
ira five cents would not again be
allowed to Kruger Brothers.

The Dominant Issue

The issue has been forced
People may as we'll begin to line
up and test the strength of the
contending forces. 1t is not be-
tween republicans and democratic
party although i: is likely to be
the issue upon which the next
president of the United States
shall be chosen. On the one
side stands Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States,
insisting that a law shall be pas
sed by congress, giving to a COM
mission the power, when a rate
complained of is shown to be I'M
fair, to substitute one which is
fair. On the other hand is the
unified railway power of the
country determined that such a
very reasonable and moderate
power shall not be vested in any
government commission. That
is the issue.
Never was a more elaborate
and determined campaign en-
tered upon than the propaganda
being systematically carried for
ward by the railroads of the
country. They propose,
throughthe press of the country,
to make the people of each local
ity believe that they are enjoy
ing rather better rates than
other localities, and that such
discrimination in their favor
could not exist under a govern.
ment rate regulating commits
sion. They do not propose to
directly antagonist the presi-
dent, not daring to do that al
present, but by subtle misrepre.
sensations to gradually create a
distrust as to the wisdom of his
policy.
The editorial columns of the
Aberdeen News afford a goo6
illustration of the sort of work
this propaganda is doing. A
careful system of misrepresenta
ton is persistently pursued
