Public Distrust.

There is prevailing public belief,
based upon facts publicly shown, that
railroads have issued corporate obliga-
tions and applied the proceeds to pur-
poses other than those for which such
obligations may lawfully be issued Di-
rectors are understood to have purchased
the securities of corporations of which
they are trustees and to have sold prop
erty of their own to the corporations
making personal profit through their
dealings with the trust estates The
remedy for this situation should not
await governmental action.'
Il place second in thu list of causes for
the want of confidence in raGroad securi-
ties the uncertainty as to the kind and
extent of government supervision and
regulation to which the railroads are vet
to be subjected.

POMONA, Dec. H.--Anti-tactics have
reached an acute stage. Those refusing
to sigh petition-outs are being branded
undesirable citizens" One of the lead
ing ministers of Covina refused to attach
his name to a petition-out Delegations
In ever-increasing size visited him and re-
turned without his name. Then he was
placed on the blacklist of "undesirables.
He openly upbraided the antis for their
'un-Americanism."
The antis have scattered broadcast re-
ports that 1.-THE divisionists on the re-
turn trip from Ontario really felt the
effects of much liquor and engaged In
free-for-all fight in one of the cars. Every
window In the car was knocked out, seats
were thrown through the windows and
the train was stopped for twenty-three
minutes to allow the crew time to restore
order and to go along the track and pick
up the seat cushions"
The divis make no comment.
In Ontario. big banners were stretched
across the street on the day of the pa
rade and their presence reported as In
dicative of Ontario sentiment. Many On
tario citizens, ants as well as divis
felt deep resentment at the display Of
such banners, considering 1t discourteous,
IL nothing else, and take exception to the
inference that the major part of Ontario
people so desired to express their feelings
on such an occasion. When the ants
made their automobile tour through Po-
mona and other divi strongholds there
was nothing like that" Several leaders
of the anti movement in Covina were ap-
preached on the same subject by head
quarters but they fatty refused to sane
tion such a discourteous action
Certain large interests in border towns
have advised their employees to sign the
petition-outs.
In nutshell, the whole anti-campaign
is one of throttling Independence and
freedom of expression. If this were not
the case why, instead of trying to secure
a necessary so per cent for the petition
outs, is not the question left to the Aus
tralian ballot, where 35 per cent in either
