In Response to Popular Agitation Many State
Legislatures Passed Laws Inimical to Wei
fare Of Railroads.&c. hartman and
Shckney Interviewed
Pres. to The Eveni.s Times.

Associated Press to The Evening" Times.
Chicago, ILL.,, March 21.-E. H. Harri-
man, President Stickney of the Chica-
go Great Western and other prominent
railroad executives are quoted as say
ing that they would prefer that their
roads be brought under the control
of congress rather than to be subject
to the legislation of the several states.
1t needs but a glance at the list of
antt-railroad measures passed in the
various states during the last six
months or so to show that there is
good reason for this preference on
the part Of the railroad officials. Con-
gress, in response to the popular ag-
itation, commenced the crusade for
legislative regulation of railroads two
years ago, but 1t is doubtful If even
the most far-seeing statesman dream
ed then of the lengths to which the
crusade would be pushed by the states.
The fever for anti-railroad legisla-
ton by the states seems to have been
sporadic in character. New England
has been comparatively free from it,
although no section of the country
has better reason to complain of the
domination of railroad combines. New
York has been busy regulating the in
surance companies and other big cor
porations and as yet has not had time
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-03-21

to give great deal of attention to
the railroads. New Jersey and Della
ware have not bothered the roads to
any extent, but Pennsylvania started
an investigation that stirred things up
and Ohio followed suit by striking the
first successful blow for the 2-cent
fare.
But it is in this section of the coun-
try, in the Mississippi valley and the
prairie states, that the anti-corpora-
tion fever has manifested itself in Its
most virulent form. A wave of anti
railroad legislation has swept like
prairie fire from North Dakota to
Texas. The most popular forms of
legislation were two-cents-a-mile fare
bills and bills authorizing states COM
missions to regulate rates and railroad
affairs generally. A number of states
passed such laws at the sessions now
drawing to a close, or just ended, and
in many other states agitation began
which promises lively times at the
next sessions.
Nebraska passed two-cent-fare bill
and then gave its attention to term
inal taxation measure, a bill reducing
Pullman rates one-third, and other
drastic anti-railroad legislation. Kan
sas passed a two-cent-fare bill provid-
ing for 500, 1000 and 1000 mileage

bones" in case he was convicted and
he evidently intends to keep his word.
The specific charge against Senator
Burton was illegal practice before the
postofice department in behalf of the
Rialto Grain and Securities company
of st. Louis, it being charged that ne
used his influence to prevent the issu-
ing of fraud order against that con-
Germ and that he received $4,000 as
payment for his services. He was
first convicted in the United States
district court at st. Louis in April,
1904, and sentenced to six months i'm
prisonment in the Iron county, Mo-,
Jail and to pay fine Of $4,000. The
Kansas senator furnished a bond of
$4,000 and appealed the case to the
United States court of appeals and
finally to the United States supreme
court. 1t was urged in the appeal
prepared by Buttons attorney that the
checks for $4,000 given him by the
RialtO Grain and Securities company
were cashed in this city and that If
any offense was committed, it was in
this city and not in st. Louis. The
appeal was sustained by the United
States supreme court and the case re-
manded for a new trial. The second
indictment was tried in April, 1905,
just a year later than the first, and
Burton was again found guilty and
sentenced to six months in Jail at
Ironton, Mos and to pay fine of
$4,000, the amount being the same as
the fee alleged to have been received
by Burton from the "get rich quick"
concern. He began serving his SEN
tence in October of last year and five
months of the term will expire tomor-
row. One month will be deducted for
good behavior in case the ex-senator
decides to nav his fine

HARD BLOWS FOR THE RAILROADS

books, the 2,O00-mile books to be in
Interchangeable. Indiana also enacted
two-cent-fare act. North Dakota and
South Dakota passed a number of anti
railroad bills, including two-cent mile
age books and two and One-hali-cent
fiat fare.
In the southern states there has
been great deal of recent legislation
adverse to the railroads. The Alabama
legislature used a particularly sharp
stick, fixing rates on more than a
hundred articles of freight, making
sweeping reductions from existing
tariffs, providing for reciprocal de-
murrage and reducing passenger fares
to two and one-half cents a mile.
The activities of the Alabama legis-
lature in this direction were heartily
supported and more or less directed
by Governor B. B. Conner, who was
elected to Office on an anti-railroad
platform.
The anti-railroad fever left the
Rocky mountain states almost immune
but showed itself in nearly all of the
states on the Pacific slope. Wyoming,
Colorado and Utah declined to enter
the anti-railroad crusade. Colorado
passed few harmless measures, and
Montana contented herself with pro-
vtding for a railroad commission. Cali
fornia was moderate in it's demands
on the railroads, but Oregon passed
comprehensive law empowering the
state commission to regulate rates,
providing for reciprocal demurrage
and giving general restrictive control
of the railroads. Washington has been
hot on the trail of the railroads for
a long time and Nevada now has
railroad commission with broad pow
erS OF regulation.

Pay of Army Officers i'm Time
of War Vexes the Government

captain, under the act of April, 1898,
providing that in time of war every
officer serving with troops operating
against the enemy who shall exercise,
under assignment in orders issued by
competent authority, a command above
that pertaining to his grade, shall be
entitled to receive the pay and allow
ances of the grade appropriated to the
command so exercised" and also for
pay for the extra month allowed at the
rate paid a captain. The case dealt
with the claim for the extra month and
the claim was antagonized on behalf
OF the government on the ground that
the order of assignment was not by
competent authority" and also on the
ground that the troops stationed at
Huntsville were not operating against
ar enemy"
The court of claims decided in Mitch
ellis favor, holding that he was enti-
tied to a captains rate, but Chief JUS
tice Fuller's opinion reversed that rul-
ing and held that he should receive
only the pay of second lieutenant.
In his opinion the chief justice re-
ferred to the order relieving the first
list of Troop E from command and in
cidentally appointing Second Lieuten-
ant Mitchell to that position and said
that 1t could not be considered as an
assignment in orders issued by COM
petent authority" within the section of
the statutes controlling in the matter.
THAT section was not enacted to
give increased pay for. ordinary duty
of the SERVICE" he said, but to give
compensation for the greater risk and
responsibility of active military COM
mand, and no assignment in orders
when unnecessary to that end can
make case within the statute"

Pres. to The Evening Tines.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, March 21.-Some of the
vexed questions pertaining to extra
pay for officers of the army during war
were considered by the supreme court
of the United States in disposing of the
case OF the United States vs.. Don c.
Mitchell, which was decided in favor
of the United States in an opinion
handed down by Chief Justice Fuller.
The particular point involved was that
relating to extra pay for duty in high
er rank in time of war but not actually
in the presence of the enemy. Mitch
ell entered the army during the war
with Spain as second lieutenant of
Troop z of the First Ohio volunteer
cavalry and while stationed at Hunts
Vile, Ala, in August, 1898, was desig-
mated by an order from Capt. Rogers,
regimental quartermaster of the First
Ohio, to take command of the troops.
He continued to perform the duties Of
command until the following October.
He then made claims to the pay of a

AS result of his conviction Sen
ator Burton is forever deprived of
holding any general Office. 1t is stated
that upon his release he will go d.
rectly to his home in Abilene, Kan,
and begin the publication of news
paper. The ex-senator still has many
friends in Kansas and upon his return
with his wife, who has lived in Iron
ton, Mo-, since Buttons incarceration
there, will likely be given an enthus-
iastic reception.
Prior to his downfall and disgrace
Senator Burton was one of the lead
ers in the senate and was very popu-
lar In Washington society. Few mem.
bers of the upper house surpassed him
In ability, but practically all were
possessed of greater wealth. He was
poor man among millionaires, and
1t Is believed here that it was largely
for the purpose of retaining his posi-
ton among his associates of the SEN
ate that he resorted to practices which
ended his political career in disgrace
and dishonor.
Certain 1t is that Burton's political
career is ended. The Burton crowd"
once a power in Kansas politics, has
found new idols. 1t may be that Bur-
ton, having received his lesson, would
now make valuable public official,
but 1t is unlikely that he will ever be
