important has been the energizing Of
executive and judicial power, state
and national. for the execution Of
remedial laws, many of them long
standing on the statute books, but
not enforced. Thus public authority,
compelled and sustained by public
opinion, is actually graphing reso-
lutely with the oil trust in many
states, both through legislation and
through prosecution for past offenses,
and many convictions have been Sc
cured with the prospect of like re-
suits in innumerable other cases.
No view can be adequate which does
not take in these achievements, and
it is to be remembered that they have
been reached in a comparatively short
time. They do not indeed uproot this
giant trade conspiracy. but they mark
a stage of the struggle which had to
be gone through If the full fruits OF
a public victory were ever to be gath
cred. And while not yet conclusive
they are cause for congratulation that
so much has been accomplished for

RAILROAD DIVIDENDS, RATES AND

RAILROAD DIVIDENDS, RATES AND
STOCKS.
On the heels of increased rates of
dividends, general movement is
impending to increase railroad capital
ization, many of which were previously
excessive with reference to real in
vestment and also to income availa-
BILE for needed improvement. The
same roads have in many cases al
ready authorized or are preparing to
authorize immense stock issues, and
some in their haste are putting out
short time notes by tens of millions
to be transmitted a little later into
stock AS sample, one road which
for the last three years has paid out
dividends aggregating $2S,600,0 900,
apparently with view to speculative
purposes, is now selling an even larger
amount of notes on the plea that the
money is imperatively required for
betterments, with arrangements for
new stock issues to care for the notes.
The staple excuse that has been Of
fered for the material increase of
freight rates has been to provide for
the new facilities which rapid growth
of tonnage is obviously creating. Even
enforcement of the anti-rebate laws
has been taken advantage OF to pro-
mote this increase. If the prodigious
resultant revenues had" been IN fair
part devoted to railroad enlargement,
thus meeting at least one great public
requirement, the case would not ap-
pear so bad. '"'
But the public has been mulcted in
excessive charges in order that stock
holders, or controlling 1cliques, might
reap a harvest of excessive dividends
and of stock manipulation through
dividends, while the transportation
service has been confessedly permitted
to fall far behind the needs of bust
ness. And now the country is threat
ened with being made the victim Of
the use of this very inadequacy of
service for further swelling the cap
italization, which in turn will be en-
ployed to resist all efforts for lower
service charges.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1907-01-31

In the public discussion at Lincoln
of proposed direct primary legislation
the clinching argument of the oppo-
nents of statewide primary nomina-
lions was embodied in this question:
Would you want a judge Of the
supreme court to be compelled to
tramp up and down the state begging
for votes for nomination and thus
drag the judicial ermine in the mire
of petty politics?"
1t is surely an appalling prospect
that the judges of our highest tribu-
nal, who are elected by popular vote,
before the nomination as well as after.
What would, indeed, become of the
dignity of our courts IL the candidates
for the bench had to submit their quail
ifications for nomination to all the
voters of their respective parties in
stead of to a mere handful of politi-
clans, who are not so particular about
their legal experience as they are
about their political antecedents!
Why should a candidate for an cleo
tive judgeship take the trouble to pre-
sent his claims to his fellow repub-
licans, or fellow democrats. or fellow
populists, throughout the state when
it is so much easier to call at two or
three railroad headquarters and have
the railroad bosses set the machinery
in motion to deliver the nomination
on a silver platter?f rt
Why give the people a chance to
say whom they want TO run for Office?
Why go through the form of popular
ratification at the polls? Why not ret
the railroad bosses issue the certifi-
Gates of election at once and save all
trouble and expense?

THE OIL TRUST FIGHT TO DATE.

Pessimistic Interpretation Of the
commerce commissions report on the
Standard Oil monopoly is not war
ranted by broad view of the situa-
ton. 1t may indeed appear from the
commissions investigation that the
monopoly is most formidably en-
trenched. that many grave abuses still
operate to its advantage against com
petition, and that no way has yet been
found to cure certain fundamental
conditions like it's control of pipe lines.
Neither does the commission, although
reiterating some suggestions of a
more or less general character, pro-
pose any practical remedy promising
immediate and conclusive solution of
the great problem. a4
After all, however, was such a solu-
ton to be reasonably expected at this
juncture? This trade conspiracy has
grown into gigantic monopoly
through thirty years of intense coop
Grafton among the most. masterful
brains and greatest wealth combina-
tions, and the basis of Its success has
been woven into the warp and wool
Of our universal, financial. Industrial
and transportation system. The trust
in large part is the outgrowth of per
vading conditions against which the
mass of the people have risen In eff
fective revolt only comparatively re-
Gently. Public resentment has prop
erly and inevitably conferred upon the
gigantic combine as the most conspicu-
Gus emblem and chiefest offender
against free, opportunity and action
in commerce, but its summary abate-
ment was for that very reason and in
the nature OF things impossible.
Moreover, it is untrue in fact and
pernicious in tendency TO assume that
nothing has been done because all has
not been done. Publicity alone has al
ready accomplished memorable re-
suits. ohicial Investigation has poured
a food of light upon the methods and
actual workings of this mother OF
monopolies," causing II to modify or
abandon some OF them. The new ma
tional rate law In all its salient pro-
visions against rebates and discrimina-
tons has struck effectively at one of
the chief supporting abuses. Not less
