Stop the Strenuous Life
Weakens the Tissues and Lessons
Organic Vitality.

The stress and strain of the strenuous
life in both city and country tends to-
wards stomach troubles.
Five people suffer today where one
did ten years ago with sick headche,
dizziness, f1atuience, distress after eat
ing, specks before the eyes, bloating,
nervousness, sleeplessness and the many
other symptoms of indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least two
out O: three in Marietta and other
towns, should use Mi-o-na stomach tab
let's Nothing else is as safe, yet effec-
tive; nothing else can be so thoroughly
relied upon to relieve all troubles from
indigestion Mi-o-na.
1t is not mere digestive taken after
the food is eaten, but true tonic, stimu-
liant and strengthened for the muscular
walls of the stomach, increasing the
flow of digestive fluids and putting the
stomach into such condition that it
does the work Nature expects it to do.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in it's curative
action that G NJ. Crosby & Co., with
every so cent box they sell give guar
antee to refund the money unless the
remedy does all that is claimed for it.

state commerce commission Is and will
continue to be unable to cope with the
situation. He referred you to the
granger movement, to the bill of 1887
and to the Elkins bill in 1903, each of
which was failure. Commissioners
Lane and Prouty admit the commission
is failure, but let us hear what A. 4.
Hadley of Yale university says. Here
are his words, But while congress
could undoubtedly increase the powers
OF the interstate commerce commission
and that without any serious financial
damage to the railroads. it is improD-
able that such action would result in
much good to the public" This has
been too true. BY the Hepburn bill
congress supposedly increased these
powers. and 1t is availing nothing.
There are more protests now than ever
before against the railroads. The only
help that can come to us must come
from government ownership and oper-
alton
Benefits Accruing.
But let us lock at the benefits ac-
cruing to the United States from gov
eminent ownership and operation:
First, government ownership will REM
edy the evils mentioned by my COL
league-mcncpoly and lack of compe-
tition. excessive rates, the extensive
death rate, rate discrimination and re-
bates Besides these four evils, We
find that We have three kinds of adj
vantages accruing from government
ownership-economical, political ana
social. AS to economical advantages.
we find that there will be a financial
saving Of $500, 1000, 900 annually to this
government from mail service, from
railroad litigation. from interstate COM
merce commission salaries and eX-
penses. from advantages of the short
est route. from no rent and from no
dividends to pay. The political advan-
tages will be as follows: No railroad
lobby, no free passes or bribery, an
elimination of graft and over-capital-
ization. As to social advantages, the
hours of labor would be lessened, that
there would be betterment of service,
Civ StAoS ~ "OuN uO away WITH lltC
congestion of people in the large cities.
That such benefits accrue is shown by
the experience of other countries.
Conditions IN Europe.
l would quote to you from Carl
Vrooman, a graduate Of Harvard, and
who had just spent year and half
In Europe studying the railroad situa-
ton: In every country in Europe
where the state has bought the rail-
roads, it has at once improved the
service and lowered the rates, and
there is less political corruption in
connection with the state-owned reads
of Belgium aud Switzerland than in
connection with the private reads of
America. England and France" Let

stituted, drawing interest at only two
and one-half or three per cent. Thus
a saving would be accomplished of
from $50, 100000 to S12O. ZOO, 900 annual
ly. The par value of the stocks of the
railroad amounts to something like
$6.000,0 900, 900 and the market value az
gregates little less. They could be
condemned and bought at approximate
ly the market rate.
The Annual Revenue.
The annual revenue of the railroads
last year amounted to little over
$2.000.00O,0OO. This would enable the
government to meet all fixed charges
and the low rate of interest paid IN
the bonds issued for the purchase of
the stock, together with the savings
which my colleague has shown would
accrue. would enable the government
to make the betterments and extern
sions OF the service and at the same
time create sinking fund which
would extinguish the entire debt in
side of fifty years. This, then, briefly
Is the plan which we advocate.
Let us compare this plan with the
plan which the negative is unfolding
here this evening, viz, government
control. In 1887, as my colleague said,
congress saw that there were evils in
the railroad situation which must
needs be remedied. So they passed the
interstate commerce act. 1t was as
plainly directed at the evil as the Eng
fish language could make it, and yet
1t failed to reach and cure the evil.
So 1t was amended, reissued, re-enact-
ed and patched up time and time again.
and still it failed to reach the evil
1t Is continuing to fail to reach the
evils because the cause for evil still
remains. And what is the cause for
evil? 1t is the greed for dividends
which permeates the present system
and is the root and foundation of its
greatest evils.
Pay for Investigation.
Honorable judges, do you think that
congress can appoint seven men to
look after the 100000 miles of railroad
In the United States and see that rea-
sonable and just rates are put into eff
feet on all of them? And yet that is
just what congress Is trying to do to-
day. But II the interstate commerce
commission should be successful in
curing one evil of the present system
1t would only make some other evil
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-02-27

worse. For instance, if the commits
sion should be successful in cutting
down the railroads profits by compel
ling them to cease giving rebates it
would only cause the railroad to out
down their expense in the cost of
maintenance, thereby making the serv-
ice more hazardous and less efficient.
So In curing one evil under the pres
ent system you augment another. But,
suppose the commission should be sue
cessful in curing all of the evils, it
would mean that expensive investiga-
tions must be carried on continually,
and these expenses must be paid by
the American people. The railroad

Capitalization.
Again. there is need of reform in
DISQUALIFICATION. The people of the
United States are at the mercy of UNI
scrupulous railroad financiers when it
comes to over-capitalization. Today
whenever railroad management finds
that its road is going to pay an enor-
nous rate of interest upon the capital
stock it Immediately adds enough more
stock to make the earnings come to
three. four or five per cent or what
ever the management thinks will not
look like an exorbitant rate And after
this process of watering has been re-
peated many times, the interstate COM
merce commission is expected to step
in and say what is just and reason
able rate.
Land Grants.
i But complications for the commits
sion and injustices to the people 10
not end with the problem of watered
stocks. There is yet another need of
reform-a reform in the granting uf
lands. One and one half-million acres
of our choisest lands have been given
as grants to the railroads. Just how
this problem will be solved by the
commission in determining just and
reasonable rate is beyond my compre-
hension.
Corrupt Influences,
Again, there is need of reform in the
political corruption of today. 1t is a
we'll known fact that many of our best
public men have yielded to the corrupt
influence of railroad capitalists. The
railroad pass will continue to look
good to many of our public officials,
and railroad lobbyist, with his ready
cash, will continue to exert his inf!u-
ence in spite of the interstate COM
merce commission. 1t is true, as Pres
ident Roosevelt has said, The railroad

US first look at Germany, which has
the best system in the world. Here is
what NJ. F. Harrington of Nebraska
says: I'm Germany freight and pas
senger rates have been reduced more
than one-half since the government be-
gan to acquire the railroads. In the
meantime the wages of the employees
have been more than doubled" At the
same time there accrues to the gov
eminent some one hundred million dol
lars annually as dividends. We next
come to Belgium, where we find more
roads for its size than in any other
country, and also the cheapest rates in
the world. In this country govern
ment and private ownership ran side
by side for twenty-five years, and at
the end of that time the government
decided to buy the railroads. Again,
the harbor at Antwerp, Belgium, has
more trade than does the harbor of
Havre, France, because the govern
ment-owned roads of Belgium carry
goods more cheaply than do the pri-
vate-OWned roads of France. But
France has seen her error and, ac-
cording to Mr.. Vrooman, is to sllbsli-
tute government ownership for gov
eminent regulation. In Switzerland
the railroads are owned by the gov
eminent and operated to the entire
satisfaction of the people, Mexico has
recently bought her railroads and is
operating them successfully. Japan
also bought her railroads in January
of last year. and before doing so sent
delegates into all the countries to
study the railroad situation, and these
delegates decided in favor of govern
ment ownership. New Zealand and
Australia are enjoying the same sue
cess as these other countries. For our
authority we have Prof. Frank Par
sons and Mr.. Lusk, who was connect I'd
for forty years with the railroads in
Australia. Australia is country that
compares favorably with the United
States-a new country, scattered
population, the same race of people
and higher wage rate-yet they pay
their railroad employees more than we
do. Rates are cheaper, there is alb
solutely no fraud and the people are
entirely satisfied. England at the pres
ent time Is seriously contemplating the
buying OF the railroads by the govern
ment. Last and most significant is the
fact that one week ago yesterday Sen.

magnates of today certainly are not
going to run the railroads without
making profits, and that means that
the patrons of the railroads must not
only pay the expenses of these inves-
LEGATIONS, but they must also pay for
the expenses the railroads are to IN
trying to evade the law. Whenever
you cut down the profits of the rail-
roads SO that the arrangements can
not amass their fortunes they will
cease to operate the railroads, and that
would cause the greatest financial cri-
sis that this country or any country
ever saw.

ator Patterson of Colorado introduced
into the senate Of the United States
bill providing for the acquisition OF
the railroads by the government. What
does 1t all mean? 1t means that the
tendency of the world Is toward gov
eminent ownership. Corporations hav-
Ing exceeded their own rights are now
ruthlessly trampling upon the rights
Of individuals. Will the United States
do justice by her people or not? The
only alternative for us, as fer other
countries. is government ownership
and operation.
