Railroad Notes,

The new 2-cents a mile law Of Ohio
goes into effect March 10th. President
Ingalls, of the Big Four railroad is
quoted as saying-''The manner in
which the 2-cent-fare bills were rushed.
through the Legislature, signed by the
governor and put on the statute books
is disgrace to the State Of Ohio.
1T strikes all fair-minded men in
that light. I suppose there will be
nothing for us to do but submit and re-
coup ourselves in such ways as we can
find.
One way would suggest is to charge
a fair rate for carrying baggage, as is
done in Europe. There might perhaps
be other places where fees could be
charged"
President Cassatt, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company. upon being
asked what the attitude of his COM
pany was toward the investigation pro-
posed by Congress in regard to the
ownership by the Pennsylvania rail
road of the stocks of other companies,
said:
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has nothing to conceal and will
welcome an opportunity to have the

The people OF this country have
witnessed persistent hammering OF
the methods OF the Standard Oil com
pany for over year. President
Roosevelt has been girding up his
loins for an assault and fortified by
the investigations OF the bureau Of
commerce. has within the past two
weeks dealt some stunning blows to
the Standard company that threatens
to greatly change the business methods
Of the concern and release its hold up
ON the oil business OF this country.
The Presidents efforts are directed to
wards putting the independent produc-
ers on common footing with the
Standard by cutting put from under
the giant corporation ali preferences
that 1t has enjoyed in the past such
as railroad rebates and other unfair
advantages that its great bulk OF
business made possible for IL TO secure.
The Standard oil company has been
pointed to as one of the beneficial
trusts, in the past. and IL has been
claimed that its monopoly OF the oil
business has enabled IL to sell oil much
cheaper than company not enjoying
such monopoly.
The phase OF the present agitation
that the people are interested in Is
it's effect upon the price of oil and the
result OF the Presidents efforts on the
price of oil will decide in the minds
Of the people IL the present crusade
against trusts is beneficial or otherwise
We can only wait for developments
10 answer this question.
In this connection the attitude Of
the independents is of interest and
we quote Pittsburg dispatch which
says
independent oil men arr rejoicing
over the President message ON the
Standard Oil Go Former Senator
James W. Lee. one of the leading in
dependents. said
For . years we nave been con.

would be given fair market price
