TAINTED MONEY.
VIII the Corporations Be Rewarded
for Contributing ~

Why does President Roosevelt In
spite OF the advice Of many OF MS
friends. persist in making Mr. Cortel'
You secretary OF the treasury? He Is
SIN chairman OF the Republican ma
tional committee and IL Is not Ions
ago he was collecting vast sums OF
money from the Wall street bankers
and from the life insurance companies
controlled by the same interests. II
has been shown that the money re
ceived from the life insurance com
panies was flched FROM the policy
holders. and although public opinion
universally holds that the money was
tainted and that restitution should be
made. Mr.. Cortelyou, who controls the
large balance-said 10 be $500, 000-in
the hands of the committee. has re-
fused to make restitution. In this the
president appears TO uphold him by
rewarding him with the most impor-
tant place in his cabinet. Nor Is this
all, for it is an axiom Of political man
agement that such political contribu
tons entail favors 20 be returned by
tie political managers receiving them.
for that is why such contributions are
made.
+ Does the president intend that the
Wall street bankers shall receive
/ favors from his new secretary of the
treasury even greater than he has al
lowed Secretary Shaw 70 disburse TO
reward them for their contributions 70
his campaign fund in 1904? His per,
sistence in appointing Mr.. Cortelyou
can hardly be interpreted otherwise
This tainted money is a cloud upon
the title OF the presidential Office and
scandal that will never be cleaned
up until restitution is made and The
appointment OF Mr.. Corteyou would
seem TO indicate that the president i
willing to accept his share in thu
scandal
President Roosevelt evidently be
lIeves he can do things that othe
politicians would not dare to do, bu
can the Republican party afford Z
condone the receipt OF these corpora
ton contributions to It's war ches
and by confirming the appointment G
its national chairman assume the r.
sponsibility for the scandal brough
about by the receipt Of the life insu
ance trust funds that rightfully b
long to the widows and orphans of u
policy holders?
The Republican members OF n
senate viii have to answer the'
questions, by either rejecting II
nomination OF Mr.. Cortelyou, or CO
frming him.

Plutooratic Danger.

I.eslie's Weekly in a late article ex-
poses its plutocratic tendency and
control when 1t says: The present
outbreak against the capitalized In
dustries OF the land, fostered by DEM
aeogues on one side and by ambitious
reformers on the other, is proceeding
70 such dangerous lengths that great
uneasiness is felt in financial circles
az home and abroad over the possible
outcome" j. certainly does begin TO
look as IL the people were waking up
TO their opportunities to prevent them
selves from being plundered by the
corporations. but what has been done
| is comparatively nothing 20 what
must be done in that direction. The
railroad legislation, for instance. has
effected nothing. as yet, towards re-
vising unreasonable rates, which is
the real end OF railroad legislation.
| The trusts are still protected by the
tariff and are advancing prices, In
stead of reducing them. and Indeed no
stems have been taken by the domi
nant party to try and proceed TO such
dangerous lengths" as Leslie's seems
10 think is already felt in financial
circles" Why. bless your dear OLD
plutocratic soul. the corporations are
still in clover. but If they are wide
awake TO the signs of the times they
will set their houses in order, for uD
less there is a more equal distribution
Of profits there will be a cyclone err

MUST PAY TARIFF RATES.
Railroads Cannot Discriminate in Fa
vor of One Another.

WI VI SiO Nifj.IO1s
Washington, May IAN impor-
ant circular, issued by the Interstate
commerce commission, contains an
Administrative ruling which is of spe-
cial interest both to the railroads and
to the shipping public. In this ruling
the commission expresses the opin-
ion that under the law a carrier or a
person or corporation operating rail-
road or other transportation line can
not, as a shipper over the lines of
another carrier, be given any prefer
ence in the application of tariff rates
on interstate shipments. In other
words one carrier, shipping it's fuel,
material or other supplies over the
line of another carrier, must pay the
legal tariff rates applicable to the
same commodities shipped by an in
dividual. The commission suggests
that there may be some instances
such as the movement Of needed fuel
in which, in order to keep the trains
or boats moving, such traffic could be
given preference in movement without
creating unjust or unWarranted dis
elimination"
It is said there probably is not q
railroad in the country that has to
pay the regular tariff on any of it's
supplies from the initial point to the
point of destination. This Is especially
true of coal used by the railroads for
fuel purposes. Coal is shipped to a
given point from the mines for rail-
road at a rate far below that which a
dealer at that point would have to
pay in freight charges. The commits
sion holds, in effect, that this is dis
elimination and that the railroad must
pay the same tariff as the Individual.
