VAN SAINT TALKS
FOR RATE REFORM
Minnesotan Tells Kansans What
the Reformers Want in
Railroad Laws. b.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 1o.-A freight
rate convention, made up. of 600 dele
gates, representing commercial and
farmers organic ations from all parts
OF Kansas, was held here today. A
permanent organization to urge rail-
way rate legislation was perfected and
resolutions were adopted urging con-
gress to give a railway rate commission
power to control railroad rates. It
tions in every county in the state and
to follow in the footsteps of Wisconsin
in securing q state bill to control cor
porations. The convention was strict
ly non-partizan. --
J. L. Bristow Of Salina, Kan, former
ly fourth assistant postmaster general,
was made permanent chairman.
Speeches were made by Chairman Bris-
tow, s. R. Van SAINT. former governor
of Minnesota; J. L. Lenroot, speaker
Of Of the Wisconsin house 10 Of representa-
and others. Mr.. Van SAINT was the first
speaker. He said in part:
GAS to the transportation question:, 1t
affects every man, woman and child IN
the nation. One of the difficulties in
dealing with it is the unfairness of
the railroads. It is not true, as they
persistently state, that the friends of
| rate regulation desire to. have the In
| terstate commerce. commission arbitra-
rily fix all rates. We stand exactly
with President Roosevelt, and only
want power given the commission, aft
er rate has been challenged and found
/ to be unreasonable to name one, have
it go into effect Immediately, and re-
main in force until reviewed by the
courts. The railroads now can do as
they please. as there is no power to en-
force the DEGREES Of the commission
All we ask is to have the power dele
gated that congress failed to grant for
merly. Either give, the commission
tirely. Give us this just measure, sto1
rebates and Determinations, let all pr
vate car shipments cease, and marked
progress will have been made in thu
settlement Of the vexed transportation
problem.' ~.

EXPANSION OF SOUTHERN TRADE,

The wonderful Industrial progress
made by the south in the year just
closed, is emphasized by the fact that
the southland leads all the rest Of the
country in the proportion Of banks es-
tablished, as shown by recent reports
Of the United States treasury depart
ment.
Promoters Of such enterprises never
locate in an unprosperous, unprogres-
sive community. That fact in itself
is a recognition of. the progress being
made in all industrial lines, and the de-
velopment Of these industries, vast
though they have been, are in meas
ure small, as compared with what could
have been accomplished if the means
of publicity to the various enterprises.
The latter need has demonstrated to
one of the largest general advertising
agencies the Importance of maintaining
thoroughly equipped office on the
ground. IL.
Nelson Chesman & Co.: of St. Louis,
General Newspaper and Magazine Ad-
vertising Agents, have established a
branch office at Chattanooga, Tenn,
! magazine advertising business through
out the south. In these days Of rapid
fire service distance counts immensely,
| and the location selected for this latest
branch of the Chesman Agency not only
facilitates the work of securing desir-
able contracts, but also insures quick
and unusually efficient distribution of
copy for customers in distant parts Of
It was first decided to open the
branch in connection with, and to ia
cilitate the handling Of the immense
volume of business embraced in the
million dollar contract recently Sc
cured from the Chattanooga Medicine
Co., makers Of Wine Of Cardui and
Thedford's Black Draught.
But the possibilities Of the south Is
rapidly growing business induced the
! Nelson Chesman Co. to make Of the
Chattanooga office q principal branch
Of the company, with one Of the gen.
eral officers, Secretary Richard Fender.
CAST, in charge, and place the immense
facilities Of the company. the first gen
eral advertising agents to enter the
southern field, at the disposal of ad
vertisers in the manufacturing, mer
camille and other industrial lines OF
that section.
With their organization they present
splendid medium for the promotion
of southern trade, expanding it il
, home and carrying it into new terri
tory, and accordingly invite the &C
counts of responsible concerns, and The
; record Of the agency fully justifes al
| acceptance of their invitation.

Protection for Railroads.

The amendments above referred to
embody Senator Knox's plan for meet
ing this situation, and the fact that
the president has approved it is rather
significant, in view Of the fact that
both Representatives Esch and Town
send have for several days been max
ing campaign among members against
the Hepburn bill, claiming that these
was before it became known that the
amendments had received administra-
ton approval.
Should the bill as now framed be-
come a law, it would be possible for a
railroad, if certain rate fixed by the
commission were not Efairly remuner-
ative,' to 90 into court and ask for an
injunction. This granted, the inter
state commerce commission would be
compelled to name a new rate.
The purpose of the amendments is
obviously the protection Of railroad
properties from unfair assault. It is
believed by the administration that
| this protection has been given in the
| Hepburn bill without interfering with
the enlarged powers provided for the
interstate commerce commission in the
interests Of the shippers.

DoIliver Bill Amended.

The Hepburn bill is the Dolliver bill,
with two Important amendments in the
way Of additions. One amendment
provides that the railroads shall always
be assured of a reasonably remunera-
tive rate' for their services, and the
other provides that on this question Of
reasonable remuneration - there may
be an appeal to the courts. These
amendments were prepared by Senator
Knox, and adopted by the president,
and the Hepburn bill. therefore, repre-
sents the ground on which the admin
istration is preparing to make it's final
stand for rate regulation.
The objection to the Dolliver bill on
the part Of men, who, while wanting to
protect the shippers, do not want to
cripple the railroads, is that it provides
for no appeal to the courts, except on
complaint that certain rate means
confscation Of property.
At the same time, it has been real
lied that it would be exceedingly diff
fcult to give the power of review to
the courts without Gripping the inter
state commerce commission and giving
to the courts large share of the rate
making power.
