which all reasonable men admit will
be necessary, if railroad rate leglsla-
ton fails to bring relief to the public
and correct the great abuses which
the railroad trust has created. Mr..
Bryan bases his argument squarely on
he contingency that public owner
ship is necessary where competition
is impossible" From this it neces-
sarily follows that if the monopoly
which destroys competition among
railroads can be destroyed by railroad
legislation and the basis of true
competition restored unlawful dis
elimination prevented and the rail-
road companies taken out of poll
ties. then no competition destroying
monopoly existing" there would be
no necessity for public ownership and
under such circumstances Bryan would
not favor it, But if on the contrary
the railroad rate bill should prove in
efficient and through the corrupting
influence of the railroad trust other
legislation which would bring about
he much desired remedy to the people
should be prevented and the railroads
should continue to destroy competition,
levy eXtortionate rates, practice un-
just discrimination, debauch the poll
tics of the nation, corrupt the courts,
place a dollar mark on public service,
control by corrupt means city councils,
legislatures and congresses and pre-
vent the enforcement of law, thus pre-
senting, as every one must admit I'M
der such conditions, the great ques-
ton which Mr. Bryan must have had
in mind when he proposed this radical
remedy namely, whether the rail-
roads should con -rol the government,
or the government own the railroads;
then the Globe stands with Mr.. Bryan
in favor Of government ownership OF
railroads as the ultimate and final
remedy if such condition arises

THE MADISON SQUARE SPEECH

There is wide discussion in the
press and among the people over that
part of Mr.. Bryan's great speech made
in Madison Square Garden on AUGUST
80 which refers to government owner
ship of railroads. Because OF almost
universal endorsement by democratic
state conventions of Mr.. Bryan as ire
next candidate of his party for the
presidency this speech is looked upon
by many as containing statement OF
democratic principles for the national
campaign of 1908. s
In many respects this is true, but
that Mr.. Bryan did not so regard that
part of his speech referring to gov
eminent ownership of railroads is ap-
parent from careful examination of
all he said on that question. Some
express surprise that he should have
spoken at all on this question because
of the opinion that it might, as they
think, endanger his chance OF election
to the presidency. Mr.. Bryan is IN no
sense political trimmer. He has al
ways in the past, and doubtless Will

a public holiday for the District OF

World Almanac says, Congress has
recognized the existence of certain

to the effect that the Standard Oil
company and the Gates oil Interests
in Texas have combined and will build
a pipe line from the Tulsa fields to the
Gates refneries at Port Arthur, Texas.
Gates will build north and the Stand
ard south, the two lines connecting on
Red river, near Paris, Texas. The
laws governing corporations in Texas
prohibit the Standard Oil company
from doing business in that state and
for that reason, it is said, the coalition
with Gates was made. Gates controls

The Forest Land Open.

In accordance with the agricultural
settlement bill" which was passed at the
last session OF congress and signed by
the president on the llth of June, all
land in the forest reserves actually usa-
BILE for home building, such as the un-
timbered tracts in the valleys and parks
will be open TO settlement. This does
away with one of the great objections to
the national forest policy. The acreage
included in the United States govern.
ment reserves now amounts TO more
than l00,000,00o acres. There was a Sec
ond objection made by the enemies Of
this movement; that was, that in many
counties in which reserves lie much of
their area, sometimes more than half, is
withdrawn from the possibility of pri.
vate ownership and taxation and the
county revenues therefore seriously de-
unmindful of the unfarness of this con-
dition, it submitted bill to grant 10 per
cent of the total receipts from forest re.
serves to the counties in which they are
situated. This proposed law was finally
| incorporated in the forest reserve pro-
visions of the agricultural appropriation
act of June 80, 1906. The clause reads
as follows:
THAT 10 per centum of all money re-
ceived from each forest reserve during
any fiscal year, including the year end
ing June 80 1906, shall be paid at the
end thereof by the secretary to the treas
ury to the state or territory in which
said reserves are situated, to be expend-
ed as the state or territorial legislature
may prescribe for the benefit of the pub
| lie schools and public roads of the coun-
ty or counties in which the forest re-
serve is situated provided, that when
any forest reserve is in more than one
state or territory or county the distribu-
tive share to each from the proceeds OF
said reserve shall be proportional to its
area therein; and, provided, further
that there shall not be paid to any coun-
ty an amount equal to more than 40 per
centum of the total income of such coun-
ty from all other sources"
For the year ending June 80, 1904, the
proceeds from forest reserves were
SOS, 1856. 10. The receipts increased SC
rapidly that for the year ending June 30
1906, they were S767,2l996. The forest
