Morris tribune., 1907-02-16

The public hearings given the rail-
roads by the committees considering
the bills reducing rates, brought out
two interesting ''facts,' railroad facts.
Whenever the discussion pertained
to freight traffic, the railroad officials
and attorneys emphatically and with
unvaarying ''honesty" contended that
no reduction in that department could
be tolerated because the freight busi-
ness of the railroads was being carried
on at no profit to the companies. And
when the discussion, on another day,
turned to passenger traffic, there was
the same emphatic assertion that that
department was being run ON a no.
profit basis under the present sche-
dule of rates. Please consider the
two statements together, the railroads
Claim that they are not now making
cent thru either freight or passenger
traffic. How does this agree with the
fact that, according to their own
figures the railroads have netted about
seventy five millions in Minnesota in
the last two years. Isn't it a bright
commentary on the intelligence of the
common citizen of the state when he
is asked to swallow this monstrous
morsel of misinformation? Yet our
legislators have been told this story
of railroad poverty and they have
been asked to keep from the statute
books all laws looking toward railway
reform because these ''facts" have
been revealed to them. And you are
invited, thru misleading news reports
and editorials in the great dailies, to
note these 'sfactsn and cease your
clamor for relief.
But the railroad representative
must be credited with great ingenuity,
if their honesty is not the most re-

railroad plan will not succeed. Great
dailies may lend their influence to the
scheme, but wave of the right kind
of sentiment is starting over the
state and no corrnptive power can
stem it.
Morris tribune., 1907-02-16

Much has been said of "people's
lobby.n The idea is given a new
significance by the fact that the rail
roads are attempting to make use of
this influence to advance their own
legislative interests. We do not
mean to infer that any horny handed
son of the soil is employed by any
railway to convey himself and the
innocent looking grip to the corridors
of the capitol and there give direction
and pecuniary impetus to corporation
opinion-it isn't that. They have a.
subtle style of operating the "people's
aobby'' idea: the railroads are at
tempting to create condition of pub
lie sentiment which will Justify their
stand against reform. This they are
irving to accomplish by giving pub
lication to whole trains of truthless
trash regarding the impossibility OF
Welding to the cries of the people for
commercial emancipation because of
their own pitiful poverty and prlva-
tion. M.#
They are trying to create the gen.
eral impression that they and not the
public need relief. Dozens of great
dailies of the northwest are enriching
their Golfers thru this scheme to per-
vert the public mind. These sub
sidized sheets open their columns to
long articles and interviews on rail-
road questions, all founded upon the
grossest Misrepresentation, yet in
tended to educate" the people into
the belief that the monstrous monopo-
lies and not the rank and file of Min
nesota deserve kindly consideration
at the hands of the legislature. This
is the largest scheme of coercion ever
conceived. Think of it's object; to
blind the citizenship of the whole
state into the belief that black is
white: that they should smile their
assent to a continuance of railroad
arrogance and indifference; that they
should sanction this present condition
of commercial serfdom, when in real
ity they ought to rise as one man and
demand sweeping change But this
Morris tribune., 1907-02-16

markable thing in the universe. They
persistently refused to say which por-.
ton of their business was freight and
which passenger traffic. Thus, when
considering passenger business, they
could assert that their profits all ac-
crued from the freight department
and when discussing the freight busi-
ness it was equally easy and con-
vincing, possibly for them to en-
phatically maintain that the profit all
came from the passenger traffic.
Morris tribune., 1907-02-16

Remember that the railroads are
sending these and other ssfactsn
broadcast over the state in an effort
to avert the enactment of four Just
and necessary reforms which the
people are demanding. These reforms
are: (1) the abolition of passes; (21
two cent passenger fare (3) reciprocal
demurrage; (4) most important of all,
the distance tariff bill of Senator
eastman. The railroad corporations
have decided that if itbecomes neces-
sary to yield to any measure of pub-i
lie control, it will be the regulation Of
passenger traffic. But the people of
the state should not for an instant;
forget that reciprocal demurrage
law would prove of twenty times
more benefit than two-cent fares and
that the distance tariff idea effected
in law, would accomplish twice as.
much as all the other railroad reforms
combined.
Study the reciprocal demurrage and
distance tariff bills. Demand their
enactment. ia

the perfect acoustic properties of the

NEW DEPARTURE IN LIGHTING FIELD

The Cooper Hewitt mercury vapor lamps, which
are used extensively tlrC uEhout the Tribune Build
ing are an entirely new departure in the lighting
field. The light comes from a tube varying in
length from " to 40 inches and about inch in
diameter. This large lighting surface is OF the
notable features o. the lamp. 1t prevents the
formation 81 sharply defined lights and shadows.
and produces the best possible diffusion OF light.
This makes il 4 most valuable light for all forms

Another feature OF the lamp is its unrivaed
