HILL is WILLING TO SELL
All He Wants Is What 1t Would Cost
10 "Reproduce."

TO Reproduce"
Minneapolis. March 13.-President
James J. Hill, of the Great Northern
railroad, made one of the most sensa-
tional statements ever given out by
him when he appeared before the
Sundberg legislative committee and de
clared without qualification that he
would be only too willing to have the
United States government take over
his road. He stated further in his tes-
timony that If the government should
go into the railroad business it would
be nothing short of lottery, and the
country would, as a matter of fact,
have an elephant" on its hands.
Then" said he, the government
would be obliged to engage in another
lottery to get rid OF the elephant"
why do you say that?' asked At
torney Manahan, for the committee
which is trying to ascertain the cost OF
the railroads in the state.
at make the assertion because 1t is
So" said Hill. IF the government
had charge of all the railroads in the
country congress would be kept busy
making appropriations night and day,
and the districts with poor representa-
ton and sparse population would be
left in the lurch. This would mean
that the districts in question would
go to seed as far as the railroads were
concerned, and that the railroads
would get rusty, figuratively speaking,
and become less and less valuable5"
Attorney Mammalian then asked Hill
what it would cost the government to
secure control Of the Great Northern.
The witness replied that it would cost
upwards of $4,000 per mile to re
produce" the Great Northern. not
counting expensive terminals, docks
and other property. Counting all of
the property, he said, it would cost
about 100000 per mile to reproduce
the road. Hill used the word repro
duce'' guardedly. not declaring that he
would sell his road for either $4,000
or 100000 per mile.

Washington, March ia. B. Stick
ney, of St Paul, president of the
Chicago Great Western railroad, who
has arrived here from the south, in an
interview discussing the railroad sit
uation, said: "The people are now lay
ing the foundation firm and strong
for tremendous panic" Stickney says
he does not believe that the crisis will
be reached within the next two years,
but he took the position that it will
certainly come, and will be even more
disastrous than the panic of 1893-O4.
States Are Getting Too Busy.
He declared that if the present rail
road agitation is kept up all the rail-
ways are threatened with BANKRUPTCY
and that in 19O9hundreds Of thousands
Of men will be thrown out of employ
ment. The great unrest in the finan-
cial world, President Stickney said. is
not due to the policy of President
Roosevelt, but is brought about by
hostile legislation by the various state
legislatures" President Stickney CON
tended that the only solution the rail
road problem is to grant all the power
to regulate the roads to the federal
government.
Wants a New Department.
He urged the establishment of a de-
partment Of Interstate commerce." its
head to be a member Of the cabinet,
and he asserted that the present in
terstate commerce commission is n
failure because the power to act is
placed in the hands of too many men.
He said that he believed far better re-
suits could be secured if the entire
matter were placed in charge Of cab
tnet officer with power to enforce the
laws now on the statute books.
Effect of Small Decrease.
"a decrease in the average rates of
only a mill per ton a mile" he said,
would wipe out all the dividends, and
a further decrease of a mill and q
third Of a mill per ton mile would
be equivalent to all the interest on
their bonds and other indebtedness
During the past six months the wages
of all employees, which constitutes
about 60 per cent Of the operating
expenses Of railways, have been In
creased fully 10 per cent, and unless
railway rates can be increased 10 per
cent. to cover this increase of wages
the leading railroads will be forced
Into bankruptcy"
