COMPETITION SUPPRESSED

The report Of the special attor-
neys to the Interstate Commerce
Commission recommends that the
Attorney-General of the United
States take action to annul the
contract between the Union Pacific
and Rock Island railroads for the
control of the Chicago and Alton
railroad which was virtually wreck
ed by the Hartman syndicate.
The most startling announcement
in this respect is "that railroad
competition has been suppressed
in an area equal TO one third o.
the United States" and "that the
profits of the great railroads Of
the Far West are being used to
buy stocks and control systems in
the East, instead of building more
roads for the development of the
West. " Yet after this exposure Of
the ideals OF Hartman and other
railroad magnates they are indig-
nant that the legislatures of the
state included in the "area equal
to one third of the United States 4"
should legislate to compel ranroad
corporations to charge reasonable
rates instead of extracting vast
sums from the public to buy the
stocks of Eastern railroads. The
fact that the Attorney-General of
the United States needs prodding
TO protect the public interests
shows that tho chief reiancesOf,the
plupdered people must be- through
theR neutrality-suspicious. IN

Columbus, o., May SO-Secretsry of

out that the statute tin question as
sumes to give an employe of a private
company the right to enter any build
ing at any time for the purpose of in
spection, a privilege which he says Is
clearly in violation of the Ohio consti.

Those good Democratic doctrines
of State Rights and Home Rule
arc much more effective than all
the boasted strenuousness Of the
present Administration. To guard
those state rights from the en-
croachment of federal power by
preserving all reserved rights not
granted by the constitution to the
national government, is the only
way for the people to secure re-
dress Of wrongs and preserve theit
liberty.
SNot'a railroad is charging lower
rates by reason of the legislation
of Congress or prosecutions of the
Roosevelt Administration. but the
Legislatures of many states have
enacted laws which compel the
railroads to charge reduced rates.
Talk of even the strenuous type is
cheap, but it takes drastic Jaws to
control railroad corporations.
