Express Company ExtortiOu.


n. Y. Press.
As showing cheerful contempt for
public opinion the action Of the Pull
man directors and stockholders is IL
Illuminating They distributed a divi-
dend Of no less than 36 per cent, and
to avoid a too abnormal swelling Of
the figures of the next dividend the
Stockholders voiced to increase the
capital stock from S74OoOOOO to $780,,
900 00O
The recent squabble over the huge
surplus of the Wells Fargo Company
disclosed to the public how special
privileges had fattened the fortunes o.
the Hartman and Standard oil group
Of railroads. Ownership Of the Wells
Fargo Company and ownership of the
Union Pacific and other lines on which
the express company operates are al
most identical. In the case of the
Pullman Company the largest holdings
are in the hands Of the Morgans and
VanderbMts. This means that both the
express company and the sleeping car
company are maintained primarily for
the purpose OF permitting railroad di-
rectors to take extra profits for the
railroads service in the guise of sleep
ing car and express car corporations.
Already the capital stock of the Pull
man Company was vastly out of pro-
portion to the actual money invested
In its rolling stock What was really
capitalized was its right. by warrant
of the monopoly granted to it on vari-
Gus railroads, to charge eXtortionate
fares for sleeping accommodations
Practically no decrease has been
made In the discomfort of Pullman cars
during the last twenty-five years.
They continue to be badly ventilated,
although cars have been built by an
unsuccessful rival company which show
how easy il is to furnish pure air all
the time. Sleepers are generally un-
clean and badly lighted and IN addi-
tion to paying what would be an un-
fair charge for the best possible accom-
modations, the Pullman company forces
its passengers to divide with it the duty
Of giving its employees a living wage.
And yet In the face of all these abuses
the travelling public is now called upon
to pay dividends on another $26000,000
cf stock capitalized out of the excessive
profits collected from the Pullman vic
Tins.
There is only one way to put stop
to this highwayry, and that is to have
valuation of railroad, express and
sleeping car property by the govern
ment 1t IS the settled policy Of the
nation is Fixed by United states Su-
preme Court, that a corporation en-,
joying privileges from government has
right to charge for public service only
enough to pay a fair return upon the
capital actually invested. Sleeping car
and express companies which exist
only by favor OF government
ana of railroad directors who
own the majority OF Their
stock, have no right to capitalize theil
! grip upon the putlic and then force the
puhlic to Fay enormous dividends on
that inflated capitalization. Valuation
of the property OF these corporations
viii establish what would be fair rates
for the service they give, and then the
government could hold express and
sleeping car charges down.

Autos Run Too Fast.

Editor The Evening Journal
desire to complain to the police
authorities through your paper OF the
reckless manner owners OF automobiles
pass by the Wilmington High scnool
IA Delaware avenue. The automobile
lists get as close to thes treet cars as
possible because the pavement is better
in the centre OF that thoroughfare, and
twice / have witnessed narrow escapes
OF persons, getting off care, from be-
ing struck by automobiles. hope
that the proper authorities will take
cognlzance Of this kick and remedy the
existing dangerous practice.
Your respectfully,
An Engineer.

SCALP BOUNTY FRAUDS.
Washington Hns Rcen Robbed by AL
legged Hunters.

Reports received at the state audi
tors office from the county auditors
in regard to expenditures for wild
animal bCunties for the quarter end
ing September 30, show that it was
fortunate for the state the scalp fraud
was discovered in time to save a part
of the $4,000 appropriation, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin.
The exposure of fine scalp fraud
came too late to save much in the
quarter ending September 80. Audi
tors in 10 counties expended about
$4,000 for the quarter. The counties
collect from the state. The state au-
ditor's office is satisfied that much
OF the money was obtained fraudu-
lentlv, but the counties will be reim-
bursed.

cats, the reports show. In the 10
