position of Judge Pritchard, in the

Mr. Bryan said the Southern rail-

indicated that there was something

in refusing to allow investigation of

IBY ]. G. OSBORN.I

A clever newspaper writer N a.,
eastern city arises TO remark that rail
roads are not the only sinners along
this line. For example. there are men
in Rock Island county who bought
land 80 or 60 years ago for 81 per acre,
or even less. and are now holding it at
500 and upwards; and a similar con-
dition prevails in very many places.
OF course, the land has been improved.
So have the railroads, and the in
creased valuation represents the i'm
prOvements plus a greater utility.
This acute economist fails TO nOre
the points of difference. Land produc-
es wealth, railroad transportation de
stroys wealth. The first is essential
to human existence: the other is Incl
dental only. convenient certainly. but
not absolutely necessary. Unless land
be made productive by the Applicant N
Of labor railroads would remain idle.
Therefore. land is the primary factor.
railroads a secondary one, and values
should be rated in the same order. OF
course, there is Il reflex action. In
creased railroad facilities add to tn"
value of land. but the land must exist
first. and the agencies of production
must exist also, and no amount #
railroad facilities can create these. 1t
is evident that the valuation of these
classes of property should proceed
along different lines.
Again. the products of land must be
sold in the open market for what they
will bring in competition with the
whole world Railroad transportation
is a monopoly. and charges all III"
traffic will bear" Land cannot protect
itself bur must pay for the labor eN-
pended upon it, and also for the trans
pnrtatiOn The increased capitalization
of the railroads is an added tax upon
the products of the land
In our thinking of this, and similar
subjects. certain principles are fund.-
mental. Labor may be productive
