DENOUNCES
CORPORATIONS
La Toilette Says Hour Has
Come for New DeCIara-
ton Of independence
PEOPLE ARE NOT SUPREME

WINONA LAKE, Ind, July 9.-Uni-
ted states Senator La Toilette spoke to
5000 persons on Representative Gov
ernment' and took occasion to give
corporations several hard knocks. The
senator spoke Of the corruption Of
state and municipal officers by the cor
porations, and said the railroads are
imposing taxes unjustly on the people,
thus making a greater burden for them
than the forefathers of this country
ever suffered. He said the taxpayers
pay S700i0O0,000 a year in the way Of
taxes to the Government. yet the peo-
pie pay three times this much to trans
portation companies in twelve months.
Arbitrary control of the market
price of corn, iron light and fuel" the
senator said, "ls as much a tyranny as
ever prevailed in the time of King
George. The hour has come for the
people to declare a new Declaration Of
Independence, from the control Of corr
poration influence. The source of power
is in the people. That is the source Of
government.
rs the will Of the people supreme ?
Look In your great cities. in your Leg
islatures. Does the will of the people
prevail in Congress? Corporate wealth
controls--it puts forth its power to con
troll. Look at the corruption in every
department OF our Government. Look
at st. Louis Cincinnati-any great city
viii furnish you with examples. We
thought we had no cleaner city than
Milwaukee. but it was honeycombed
with corruption until an honest prose-
cutting attorney began sending scores Of
Milwaukee officials and men to prsoil.
Great corporations have grown up
between the people and the representa-
tives of the people, and the corpora
tion exercise potent influence over the
peoples representatives. The source OF
the trouble is buslness-big business.
There Is no important line of trade in
this country that Is not controlled by
a combination.
You can't sell pork or beef from In
diana farms in the open market, for
there is no open market. The same Is
true OF wheat and other products of the
farm. When you have only one way to
get products to the market and get SUPP
plies from the market. and railroads
control that way, the people are at the
mercy of the railroads"

kick on Darby Cars.

Editor The Evening Journal
For several years 1 have been daily
patron Of the Darby trolley line and am
sure It would be difncult1,D find road
anywhere more poorly managed or where
the patrons get poorer service.
The cars cannot be relied on to make
regular trips on time. one waits and waits
often times IN the rain perhaps half an
hour or an hour and finally wet, disgust
ed. mad, walks to the nearest point to
take steam car or as In my case to
shelpot Park, for chance TO get into
town The loss TO clerks in stores who
are Obliged to be on time or are docked
IS very serious and business engagements
that have to BE- broken is also most SER
ious and annoying.

cars. rotten cross-ties on the track caus-
ing the rails to spread and cars TO run
off the track. cars frequently taking fire,
burning out repeatedly delays Of half
hour to hour. these are "a few Of the
most conspicuous complaints. The patrons
OF this line are dsgusted and provoked
thas they can depend on nothing except
a break down and delay and / am sure
voice the feeling OF hundred patrons.
The one redeeming feature Of the road
Is the clever conductors and motormcn
who are kind and oblging as a rule, and
who look as though they were ashamed
OF such an old OUTFIT. They have my
sympathy. Is it true. as l have heard,
that the road Is on the verge Of bank

within a hundred yards picked out a
score Of spikes from old rotten cross ties
with his fingers, but little effort being re-
quired. Give us an opposition line. This
road carries crowds and crowds Of pas
sengers and might II well-managed, as
easily carry double az many.
During the past week the service on
this road has been OF the bum-meat kind
and one could pot tell whether he cou d
get TO town or not without walking sew
erai miles TO the shelpot Park car A
carload OF dlsgruntlod passengers were
aboard the car due here at SIS but which
did not get In until about o'clock. Many
passengers were compelled to walk to

service for a public carrier.

DELAWARE RAILROAD TAXATION

TIE Delaware Railroad Company asserts
that the payment OF $4,000 year into the
State Treasury is in lieu Of all other taxation and
by contending that property it buys is part OF
its roadbed. the company has found a happy
way to hm-iam the city and county and State
out OF fair taxation
We are talking about new sources Of taxation
anil where the needed money is to come from to
carry on the affairs Of the State. 1t would be
a good idea for the next Legislature to consider
the tax that the railroad company pays. This
100000 rental was fixed years ago, carly in the
seventies we believe, and to assert that the COM
pany should not pay more at present than it did
then, is preposterous.
Let anyone compare the business transacted
BY the company in dividends and its improve
ments, and $4,000 would be very small tax
indeed The object of this sort of taxation
should be to make the corporations pay in pro-
portion to the benefits derived from the State
The Delaware Railroad Companys system Of
payment was shrewdly devised and the man who
got it up and the railroad Democrats who for
so many years stood for it and refused to permit
the subject-ofFailroad taxation be touched, knew
their business. The railroad company has reap-r
ed the benefit Of the unearned increment idea
1t would be just if a man were 10 erect
one-story building and .agree 70 pay.ten dollars
a ~ f5--saton IN iieu OF ala other taxes. Then
suppPse he should add five additional stories to
the building and his business should greatly in
crease When the tax collector comes along and
says Il think seu should pay $50 year in tax
the man would reply abruptly: No, ! have an
agreement to pay $40 year in lieu Of all other
taxes
No one can blame the railroad company for
making as sharp bargain as possbe-that is,
If no ethical or moral rights are considered; and
most public service corporations think as much
about moral and ethical duties as Satan does
about Bishop Coleman's triennal charge The
dummies are the people who send men to the
Legislature who willing to permit the rail-
road company to do with them it pleases

1N PRAISE on CONGRESS.

A FTER all its turmols and trbuatons
L President Roosevelt much to praise
in the session OF Congress that recently adjourn
ed. 1t has been as the President states, ses-
sion of constructive legislation. And the railroad
rate bill, the meat inspection measure, the pure
food BILL the one for free alcohol in the arts, the
consular reform bill, Panama Canal Legislation,
the joint statehood bin and the naturalization
bill, are cited by the President as examples of
this sort Of legislation These bills were not
enacted into law without hard labor and special
influences were strongly arrayed against some
OF them. The session will, however go down in
history as important from the fact that vigorous
effort was made to control the abuses Of certain
corporations that in the past have welded such
influences upon the government

thier first convention the 25th OF this
month. when candidates who have
foresworn all intention to commit the

such an effort should meet with most
cordial public approval. II is high

put forth to elevate to its proper dig
nifty the estate Of bachelofhood and
spinsterhood. Long enough have they
leen the butt Of comic supplements and

an evidence of brotherly love as this

his return to Philadelphia from a visit

we could not do so without telling our
parents we were married we finally de-

The Philadelphia Ice Trust magnates of course
have secured great array OF legal talent to de-
fend them against the prosecutions of District
Attorney Bell. Out in Toledo, Ohio, they have
adopted new method of dealing with trust kings
who violate the law in their extortion practiced
upon their customefs The ice men there have
been sent to jail and the Philadelphia ones wish
to escape similar fate. But if District Attorney
Bell is no more successful in these prosecutions
than he was in his management OF the cases

The tobacco combine has pursued the latter
method. Other trusts fix the prices at which

just what Caracas would do

the visitor is about to pronounce
the city the dirtiest he has ever
seen when nature suddenly de-
cides to put things to rights, says
a writer in st. Nicholas. An or
dinary rainfall would not suffice
now; a thorough flushing is needed
and nothing short of a deluge will
do it.
But somewhere up in the noun

In a moment, almost, the streets
and courtyards are flooded, the
fantastic waterspouts that over
hang the sidewalk pour out their
streams like gigantic kettle
spouts, and loud is the noise of the
splashing and scattering.
Half an hour later one tiptoes
along the shiny pavements, as il
over a newly-scrubbed floor;
above him is a sky of spotless blue,

A Stranger admitted below the
bar of the British house of lords
was required to deposit his UNI
brella with one of the attendants.
The umbrella was not to be found
afterward, and the owner brought
action in court to recover itE
value. He was successful, and
was awarded five dollars. But
this was a violation Of sanctuary
which the lord chancellor would
not tolerate. Summoning the
plaintiff and his attorney to the
bar Of the house, he only refrained
from committing them both to
prison on their making humble
apology and refunding the
amount they had gained.

AMERICAN BACON IN NORTH
It Is Regarded as Inferior to That
Produced in Canada
Higher; Grade Better.

Consul Harvey, Of Fort Erie.
on the Canadian shore opposite
Buffalo, shed%some new light on
che much discussed subject Of
American bacon in Canada, giving
the statement of some live stock
men that Canadians often buy
an inferior grade Of hogs that are
rejected by American packers,
which may account for part Of the
general complaint against the ami
mails from the states. Canadian
packers, however, are particular
about the animals they kill for ex.
port, as Canada cured bacon sells,
the consul states, higher in Great
Britain than any other except the
Danish. American packers should
also note the statement that Cana
dian bacon is cured more than
that of the United States, which
takes but few hours, while the
Canadian process takes days.
American bacon sells lower than
the home product at Fort Erie aft
er paying two cents per pound
duty.
No beef cattle are exported to
the states from this district. Beef
retails three cents higher per
pound than in Buffalo. Among
farm products going to Buffalo are
lambs, calves, hides, live poultry
and clover, timothy and blue grass
in considerable quantity. for ra-
cling purposes 800 to 900 American
horses are sent here annually,
while 81 Canadian horses, valued
at $19,675, were exported from
Fort Erie last year to Buffalo
and New York city. These lat
ter were coach, draught, driving
and hunting horses.
The largest article of export
from that distria is natural gas.
which is produced in large quaint.
ties. Most of ii is piped to Buffalo,
the amount being estimated at
10,O0O,OO0 cubic feet per day.
