a GREAT RAILROAD WAR.

The three groups of railroads rep
resenting the Northwest, the South
west and the Southeast are engaged
in a three-cornered war over home
seekers excursions.
Fuel was added to the flames yes
terday by a proposition which the
Rock Island submitted to make home
seekers rates effective to the South
west territory every Tuesday in the
month II the plan is negatived by
THE Western Passenger association
lines, Independent action VIII be
taken by the Rock Island. John Sc
bastian. speaking for the latter road
yesterday said:
The Rock Island and Frisco sys-
TENS stand fatty for the development
OF the Southwest, into which ter
rltory heavy immigration has been
induced by spending a large amount
of money and by a liberality which
has had immense results in the way
of colonizing. We believe the loca-
ton of settlers is vastly more import
ant than the loss of a few dollars
through the manipulation of cheap
rate tickets. The lines / represent
have no objection to any basis of
homeseekers' rates which may be in
augurated into other territories, but
so far as the Southwest is concerned
we snail insist upon protecting that
territory by as liberal inducements
as are offered by the lines in any
other territory"
The trouble which has given ser
ious complications had its origin sew
eral years ago when the Rock Island
and other lines began to put in low
rates in the interest Of developing the
Southwest. For years the western
roads had accepted tenders of low
rates made by the southeastern roads
with a view TO colonizing the South
and Southeast. When the western
lines rendered low rates in the inter
est OF their territory the southeastern
roads demurred and have ever since
been calling for a conference.
Such a conference was held I'm ST.
Louis last week. at which the south
eastern interests asked the southwest
ern roads to take out their low rates
applying from Memphis territory Oh
lection was especially made to the
roundtrip rate of as per cent of the
one-way fare which was put into eff
feet during the fall months All
roads except the Rock Island express
ed willingness TO raise the rates.

One more cautious than the rest sug-

the meaning of such name before
making indiscriminate use of it, and it
is to this man that the success Of the

that the greatest thing a human soul

DENIES PASSES TO EDITORS.
Knapp Tells Newspaper Men They

The Interstate Commerce Commission
stands pat on its Interpretation OF the
railroad rate law that newspapers cannot
exchange advertising for transportation.
A committee representing the National
Editorial Association had a hearing be-
fore the commission yesterday in which
the subject was fully and freely dis
cussed. The association holds that the
ruling Of the commission abrogates the
right Of contract and that a newspaper
and a railroad have a perfect right 10

WORLD NEEDS ELASTIC MONEY
Comptroller Ridgely Urges IeglSla-
tion on Currency Question.
Credit Currency with Graduated Tax
and Ample Reserve Proposed
Increasing Business.

william B. Ridgely, Comptroller Of the
Currency. discussed the currency ques-
1ioa yesterday before the House Com
lnittoe on Banking and Currency.
Mr. Ridgelys ideas as to the operation
Of the credit currency plan Of the bank
ers' association did not in al respects
harmonize with those advanced Friday
by Secretary Shaw when he was before
the committee. One instance IN point was
mis- statement that the amount of credit
notes in process OF redemption at any
one time would be vastly IN excess of
10 per cent Of the total, which was the
amount estimated by Secretary Shaw.
Mr. Ridgley said that the business OF
the world was increasing so rapidly, and
so much was going on in manufacturing,
mining and commerce generally, that
there is a great demand for credit. which
has caught up with and overtaken the
amount Of reserve money which We have
20 base credit upon.
Since 1860 he said, there has been an
increase Of GS per cent Of the loans in
national banks without collateral During
the same period there had only been an
increase OF a. per cent OF me total ioans
on collateral From this he deduced that
the demand for an elastic currency Is
the demand Of business rather than OF
speculation. 1t is very plain, he said,
that the lOgical, sensible, practical way
10 meet the question Is to change the
system 50 that banks may keep la their
vaults as q basis for the increase Of
loans every dollar Of their available re-
serve money and let them supply FOR
cash transactions their own credit notes
which are not available for reserve.
Mr. Ridgely said he was decidedly IN
favor OF credit currency, and in favor q
a graduated tax with ample reserve, IN
c0ntradistinctiOn 10 q high tax and 20
reserve. He would have the government
guarantee the credit notes and declared
that the government IN so doing would
undertake no risk.
He was not IN favor Of the repeal OF
the 100000 limit of retirement Of ma
tional bank circulation. He would in
crease the limit to $l2,00o.o10 or Slj,000.0o0
and give the Secretary OF the Treasury
authority TO suspend the retirement in his
discretion.

PORTO RICO ASKS FOR AID.
Island Has transportation Evils OF
Its Own.

Porto Rico is having trouble with her
railroads. and she has called upon the
United States for help Gov Winthrop,
of the island, accompanied by other
officials and prominent Porto Rican bust
ness men are IN Washington TO hold a
conference with members of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The prin-
cipal railroad in Porto Rico was built dur
ing the Spanish regime, under a charter
from the Spanish crown.
When the present government Of the
island was set up it was provided that the
managers of this railroad should submit
10 It schedules OF rates. This resulted
in the discovery that the management of
the road was guilty of serious discrimina-
ton against certain Porto Rican towns.
and against individuals as well. Antiqui-
ties in freight classification were also dis
closed, the result being that Porto Rico
is confronted with transportation evils
such "a exist in this country. Gov. Win
thrOp wants the Interstate Commerce
Commission to send an expert 10 Porto
Rico to instruct railroad officials and
shippers alike in matters of transporta-
ton. His request will probably be
granted.
