BREAK ANTIPAss AGREEMENT
Roads Already Violating 1t In Favor
OF BID Shippers

officials of the eastern railroads are
watching each other like hawks. Ever
since the first of the year, when the
anti-pass agreement went into effect,
the railroad men have been watching
for possible violation of the agree
ment by their competitors, as there
never has been any confidence in the
agreements stability.
Anti-pass agreements have been
made before between the railroads at
the beginning of other years, and they
have lasted for periods varying from
ten days to three months, being
broken at first surreptitiously, untih
before long all roads again were
granting free transportation. Already
this year, it is said, there are signs
of the disintegration of the agree
ment, and these same officers are
only waiting until they get proof be-
fore making the matter public.
Indications point to the stronger
roads as the violators in this case,
and an official of one of the smaller
lines has declared that he is con-
vinced that certain favored shippers
are receiving transportation over one
road on which free transportation is
not accepted usually.
This same official also said he has
reasons to believe that the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Reading roads were
not complying with the agreement,
and he expects soon to have indispu-
table evidence of the fact. One way
that the railroads are getting around
that provision of the agreement
which prohibits the giving of COM
plimentary ANIMALS, is by issuing
quarterly passes and other forms of
transportation, good only within state
limits.
The railroad officials are trying in
every way to find out what their COM
petitors are doing in this matter. 1t
is predicted by the men posted on
the situation that the demise of the
agreement of 1906 may be expected
within the next few weeks.

In these states and cities the people

chine rule is simply a stage in evolu
tion-a stage in representative gov
ernment-and therefore all our states
and cities will pass through 1t and
into the higher form of representa-
tive government, just as children pass
through the chicken pox.
Guarded representative government
is an entirely new thing in the world,
tending to produce practically ideal

MODERN BUSINESS METHODS IN
REAL ESTATE DEALING

What world We live in and what
capacities and facilities for business
we possess when we can, as it were,
with arms encircling the earth, touch
finger tips. This suggestion gives
fair representation of the require
ments of modern business methods to
contend successfully for modern bust
ness achievements with the world for
field.
The real estate dealer formerly de-
pended upon the demand of his neigh
bors in the town or city of his bust
ness for market, both for buyer and
seller with which to carry on his bust
neas. Facilities for doing business
and condition of market go far to-
ward determining and fixing the value
of the thing for sale.

END OF MACHINE RULE
DOWNFALL CERTAIN If PEOPLE
RESERVE VETO POWER.
Wherever the Initiative and Referen-
dunn Has Been Tried II Has Been
Successful in Destroying corrup-
ton BY Corporations.

Machine rule is the rule of the few
through popular forms. The people
vote but do not rule. They elect men
who are the candidates Of party
and the party, through its committee
or machine, is the ruler. Back of the
machine are the few who contribute
the campaign funds, principally the
monopolists and other special priv.
ilegists. The object in contributing
is to secure legislation or exemption
from legislation.
Results of Machine Rule
The result of machine rule, then,
is corruption and special privileges;
and it results, also, in the dominance
of the saloon, unjust taxation, fren-
zied finance, child labor and hun
dreds of other evils.
Such are the results of the rule of
the few through popular forms.
The existence of the supreme or
sovereign power in the ruling few is
due to the fact that the people in
. delegating power to the city councils,
legislatures and congress did not re-
serve to themselves veto power nor
power to directly initiate measures.
Such power can be reserved and is
reserved in many places.
Peoples Veto
The reservation of the Peoples Veto
is through the establishment of a syS-
tenn wherein all the more important
measures adopted by representatives
must go to vote of the people be-
fore they can become law. This is
the compulsory referendum. 1t in
cludes the issuance of state bonds and
changes in the state constitution. The
less important measures, except bills
of an urgent nature, are subject to
an option in the people to demand
a direct vote. This is the optional
referendum. And its mere existence
does practically all the work, just as
the mere presence of a policeman
keeps out most Of the toughs.
Voters Purpose Changes
This veto power Is power to pre-
vent action. 1t Is necessary, however
to start legislation, for in the evolu
ton of industry the time comes when
legislation must be enacted to control
the developed monopolies or the mo-
nopolists would own the earth. There
fore, the constitution of each state
and of the nation provides that amend
ments may be proposed, and statute
law is subject to amendment The
tendency is for the voters to provide
that they may directly propose
changes.
This direct initiative by the voters
is termed the initiative, or direct in
itiative, or popular initiative.
Where the direct initiative and the
peoples vote are added to the rep
resentative system, 1t is guarded rep
resentative government. The peoples
sovereignty is guarded.
The system exists In Oregon, South
Dakota and Switzerland, also In the
cities OF San Francisco, Los Angeles
