DE-WALLSTREET THE MU.
TUAL.

Evidently Thomas w. Lawson struck
pay dirt" when he began the collec.
ton of proxies for the election of trus-
tees of the New York Life and the MI.
tual. Not that Lawson or his ANAL
gamated governors association will
ever get a chance to use their proxies
for the companies will never brook the
interference of Lawson in their affairs,
but because he has Set the pace for
others in the same industry.
When the Peabody administration
succeeded that of McCurdy in the Mu-
tual it was understood that it would
be temporary. But no sooner was the
investigating committee composed of
Auchinclos, Truesdale and Fish ap-
pointed than it transpired that a por-
ton of the committee was seeking
proxies which would make the Pes
body administration permanent, where
upon Mr.. Fish left the committee and
resigned from the board.
Now Lord Northcliffe (Sir Alfred
Harmsworth), representing the Brit
ish and continental policyholders. is
backing Mr.. Fish in an effort to Dust
the Peabody crowd and inaugurate an
entirely new deal. The New York leg
islature will annul the Lawson proxies
by moving the election from April to
November. 1906, but will improve the
situation by providing for the selection
of an entire new board 1t is under
stood that Lawson and his governor
committee stand ready to throw their
influence to the Fish enterprise. be-
lieving that his efforts promise more
in the way of genuine reform than
any other.
All this goes to show that Mr. Law.

ceive the bank examiners, although
in view of the facts in this particular
case it seems strange that they should
have been fooled by such a device.
The memorandum note may be made

transaction. 1t seems that it may also
he made a convenience in a thor
ouhly illegitimate transaction, and
that's the use Mr.. Walsh made of it..
When he could no longer borrow
money over his own name from his
own bank to finance his Southern III
diana railroad a private enterprise OF
his own, ne took stocks and bonds of
this road, made out memorandum
notes. had them signed by some hc-
titious name by a clerk, put these with
the railroad securities into his bank
to fool the bank examiner, and in the
itors' money to the amount of $685.
10000.
The singular thing is that the bank
examiner should have been willing to
pass SO many memorandum notes
which, it is said, We're all signed by
one man and appear to be one mans
handwriting.
Of course, Mr.. Walsh knew that ne
had no right to take this money. Like
a good many other embeZzlers, he, no
doubt, expected to return it; but the
time came when he coudn't-as it U.s.
ually does come-and he appears be-
fore the public as having used his po-
sition as president of the Chicago Ma
tional bank to get possession Of other
peoples money surreptitiously which
he cannot now return. If Mr.. Walsh is
convicted of this crime for which he
has been arrested, and as to which the
evidence appears to be conclusive, it
does not appear how he can avoid suf-
fering the heavy penalty which the law
provides for stealing.
Mr.. Walsh has been rich man; may
be yet. He has powerful friends. He
will undoubtedly have a fair trial. No
body wants anything more than even
justice, but it is important that a man
who has occupied the position which
he held, has had the experience which
has fallen to him, and who has achiev-
ed the prominence in business circles
attained by Mr.. Walsh should not on
these accounts, or for any other rea-
son. be favored in the administration
of justice.

MAKING OF RAILROAD RATES.

The Hepburn or house railroad rate
bill provides for Just, reasonable
ed as a minimum charge" 1t assumes
that the interstate commerce commls-
sion shall be the body to determine
what shall constitute such rate. The
question of what is a fair rate involves
the solution of two questions. What is
a railroad? and, What is the basis OF
compensation? The supreme court has
had the question up in several forms
and it has laid down pretty squarely
the doctrine that a railroad is COM
mon carrier pure and simple; that it
exists by reason of certain public IA
yors. such as that of eminent domain,
and incurs certain public limitations.
One of these was expressed by the SUI
preme court the other day when it 1e-
clared that railroad could not SOM
pete with its patrons in the articles
of freight hauled by it. AS to what con-
ponds somewhat upon the question Of
values Some people hold that the en-
tire value of a railroad is the cost Of
reproducing it. The supreme court has
said that the amount and market value
of bonds and stocks. the operating eX-
penses and the probable earning ca
pacity of the road under certain rates
may be considered. The court has also
said that stockholders are not entitled.
without consideration of the public, TO
a fixed return upon the capital invest
ed The public cannot be subjected to
unreasonable rates simply that divi-
dends may be earned.
When the government gets into the
business of laying down rates, the
commission will have the first guess
at them. and it stands to reason that
the commission will go slow, taking
into consideration the legal matters
which enter into fair remuneration un-
1t would seem plausible to suppose
that the commission would be loath &c
interfere except where a gross injustice
was being perpetrated upon an individ-
ual Or a community. The history of
state commissions has been that they
made and enforced comparatively few
rates-the mere fact of there being a
power to make rates above them
causing the railroads to make reason
able rates themselves. In the state it
works out very much like the hack or
dinance in cities. Under the seat of
every public hack in Chicago, for
example, there is a card giving the
schedule of rates chargeable. Toe
hackman knows it is there and governs
himself accordingly, though the passen.
ger may be unaware of it's existence
He knows that an attempt to collect
an extortionate rate might result in
his being brought into court and sub
pected to fines and troubles which
would take the profit off a large num-
Der of overcharges. So he goes by the
card. and the passenger is protected
by the law without invoking it.
The railroads, which are merely ma
tionally licensed hackmen, would have
no more thouble with the government
than the city cabbies. after they have
become accustomed to the novel situa
ton of being no longer a law unto
themselves.
