FOLK DOES NOT FAVOR
BRYAN'S OWNERSHIP IDEA

New York, Sept. 1.-Gov. Folk OF Mis-
souri. i'm an interview here yesterday. let
II be known that he was not ready yet to
indorse TO the fullest Mr.. Bryans gov
ernment railroad ownership plan as out
lined by Mr.. Bryan at the Madison Square
Garden reception, where Gov. Folk also
spoke.
He said the state OF Missouri once had
q disheartening experience I'm owning rail-
roads. He also admitted that Mr.. Bry-
ans plan Of having the federal govern
ment own the trunk lines and the state
governments own the lines strictly with
in the state limits would result I'm de-
cided perplexiues. He did not care to
criticise Mr.. Brysn's scheme, he said. but
ne was willing 10 tell of the Missouri ex-
pertinent. lie said:
Whatever Mr.. Bryan says CT any gov
ernment problem is entitled to Nareful
consideration. The matter OF government
ownership OF railroads is OF tremendous
Importance, and is a matter that cannot
be considered offhand
MIssoURrs EXPERIENCE.
1.-THE only experience the state OF Mis-
souri, ever bad with railroad ownership
was not altogether pleasant or profitable,
We have facts. not theories. on that sub
Ject In our state. The state practically
owned all the railroads I'm II ~ years ago,
and the people have just finished paying
tho debt incurred. The state at that time
issued bonds to aid in the construction Of
certain roads, including the Wabash. the
Missouri Pacific, the Iron Mountain, the
Burlington and the Hannibal and st. Jo-
seph. To fortify itself against loss the
state took lien on the railroad lines.
"All the railroads defaulted in their
payments except the Hannibal and ct.
Joseph The liens were foreclosed and
the roads were bought I'm by the state.
Commissioners were appointed and au-
thorized 10 sell the roads. The result Of
the transactions was that the state came
out about s25, 900, 900 behind.
SALE BY BRIBERY.
''It must be said, however, that much

OF this was accomplished by shameful
fraud and corruption. The commissioners
were bribed to sell the roads TO certain
persons and members of the legislature
were bribed to authorize the sale or the
roads and TO receive a certain part Of tho
proceeds. A report Is on file In the Unit
ed states court In st. Louis made by
committee OF directors OF the Missouri
Pacific In which. pleading for release OF
the debt of the road TO the state, IL Is
asserted that they paid the Legislature

railroad ownership was not altogether
happy. Conditions may be different to-
day, but IL is a matter that must be stud

II do not care to say anything more
than that about what Mr.. Bryan said in
his speech"
REFUSES TO CRITICISB JEROME.
Gov. Folk had to be careful yesterday.
IL wasn't that he was unused TO Eastern
ways but there were a lot OF people who
wanted him TO say sharp things about
District Attorney Jerome and then stand
OF and see the fur fly later.
Several weeks ago District Attorney Je-
rome said things about Gov Folk when
he was district attorney In 81. Louis and
people were making a fuss over him for
sending boodlers TO jail. and II was
thought that Gov. Folk might be glad 20
embrace the opportunity to get even when
he came TO this city TO help welcome
Bryan. All he would say about Mr.. Je-
rome was:
II have only the klndliest feelings for
Mr. jerome. / like him, l feel very kind
ly toward him. I wouldn't think OF say
ing anything harsh about him, even II
could"
Speaking about campaign contributions
from insurance companies, Gov. Folk
said:
II DO not know what the law OF New
York may be on that matter, but must
say that in Missouri II the directors of
a life insurance company were 10 take

The republican machine at Long
Branch has a big bump of presump-
ton of power. At a Colby meeting
one night last week two representa-
tives of the machine-George E. Po-
land and John A. Eaton-appeared,
as they put it, in the interest of har-
mony. They were willing that the
| Colbyites should name the county
delegates, providing the machine was
permitted to have the delegates to
the city and congressional conven-
tons.
The opposition of the machine at
Long Branch comprises many of its
| best citizens. We do not imagine for
an instant that the Colbyites will
make a deal of the kind proposed. By
Offering such a proposition the ma
chine admits its weakness and with
this as a cue the Colbyites should go
right along strengthening themselves
with the people and using every legit-
innate means to get them Il to the
PRIMARY on September %.
The Colbyites at Long Branch
must certainly have more than a
fighting chance and If the1inew idea

the county convention from Long
Bfanch n Ocean township the days
OF the machine are numbered. While
the machine have divided the county
into five districts and practically
named the candidates to be voted
for upon the republican ticket. still
the Colbyites, if they elect a major
ity OF the delegates, may have a set
of candidates altogether different
than those heretofore named by the
machine. The machine might be will
ling to concede two of the county
commissioners to the Colbyites and
still have three, which would control
all the patronage to be distributed.
The leaders in the new idea move
ment cannot afford to make any
deals at this time. 1t is far better
for them to go down to defeat than
to make an alliance with the ma

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
LA FOLLETTE's DEFEAT.

The result of the recent Wisconsin
primaries and the overwhelming de-
feat of the gu%bernatorial candidate
whom Senator LaFollette worked
hard to nominate have brought JOY
to the regulars in New Jersey.
LaFollette is coming here week after
next to deliver speeches in the inter-
ests of the Colby movement and the
reform idea. The REGULARS" are
throwing up their hats because they
think that the great Wisconsin re-
former has been discredited il his
own state, and that, therefore, his in
huence here will be greatly reduced.
This hilarity is both untimely and
pitiful. That true reform should fail
anywhere is in itself a matter for sin
cere regret to any right thinking citi-
en-. That such a man as LaFollette
should be defeated in a state so cor
rupt and boss ridden as Wisconsin
would be a sufficient cause for sorrow
in every clean, patriotic heart.
But reform in Wisconsin has not
been beaten by the defeat of Senator
LaFollette's candidate, any more
than it would be beaten in New Jer-
sey by the choice for United States
senator of some other excellent re-
form candidate than George l.. Rec
ord. The man who was selected at
the Wisconsin primaries on Tuesday
last, for the republican nomination
for governor, is himself a reformer.
He has worked heretofore with La
Toilette and is understood to be
friendly to the reform movement.
1t is true that Senator LaFollette
favored another man, but he said to
the people of Wisconsin exactly what
Senator Colby has said in substance
TO the voters of New Jersey, Select
your W candidates and your own
officials, independently (of the influ-
ence or dictation of anS man or set of
men. | favor this <man, but if you
prefer another man it is your privi-
lege and Your duty to select him.
The WISCONSIN people did exactly
what Senat9r LaFollette told them to
do, but in 10 doing they have neither
repudiatedl LaFollette nor reform.

~ OvERNMEMT enfranchisedba large number of separate
~ corporationsdn New York city to furnish gasEght in diff
ferent sections of the city. They arc now consolidated
into a monopoly UNDER ONE HOLDING COM
PANY which regulates the price of gas for all of them.
The Capitalization of the separate companies thus consolidated under
one head is 500, 900, 900 ofstock andi$100,000 900 of bonds, while the
paper capital of the holdng,company is 500, 100000 more.
The total of these bonds and paper shares of stock is many times
The actual investment, and the Community has to pay a price for gas
which will pay the interest on these bonds rand dividends on these
FALSE PAPER SHARES OF STOCK, which are thus made a
perpetual tax upon the community. Instead of reducing the price of
gas when dividends get too large to be toberabe, more stock. is added,
so that the dividend rate is lowered while the total dividend remains
the same AND INCREASES. Think of the franchises of the people
being used in this way to, drain thepockets ,of the people FOR THE
BENEFIT OF A FEW.
In the same way the street.rairoad companies iniNew York CITY ar
capitalized and consolidated. There is no hostnityto their consolida-
ton. Consolidation on a basis honest to the pubic:would be a benefit
to the public. But consolidation on basis of more than five times,
and may be ten times, the ACTUAL CAPITAL honestly. invested is
an outrage omthe public.
Instead of reducing fares for short distance riders as dividends
grow too large tobe permissible. these.companies have kept on increas-
ing their PAPERA CAPITAL so thathhe dividendrate would be kept
down. &.
On this false basis these companies are now all consolidated under J
a series of leases for 900 years each, the present controlling company
being the last lessee. The original companies leased themselves to one
company which agreed to pay all of the interest on their bonds and
dividends ranging from IS to s per cent on their inflated shares of |
stock. This company in turn leased itself for 900 years to another ]
company formed for the purpose, which in like mannertagreed to pay |
interest and dividends on the bonds and paper capital of'the lessor COM |
pany, and this system of new paper companies and new leases has
already gone through several stages, each stage adding millions of new !
stock FOR THE COMMUNITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON
as a tax in perpetutv. |
>And the clause of the constitution of the United States which guar |
antees the inviolabiHty of contracts and forbids their abrogation is !
already being invoked to protect these leases. 1
The making of overgrown fortunes by favoriism in freight rates, \
by issuing paper stock and bonds on public franchises without regard
to actual investment of capital and the like, IS DOOMED. IF it we're J
not so, then this government would be doomed.
