nike FOR THE

Booster Club

Hike for the Twin Cities is a slo-
gan for the Booster club suggested by
g. A. Swanson to the Evening Teller,
and filed with Secretary Rohrabacker
for presentation to the club at the
meeting tomorrow evening.
Mr.. Swanson suggests a button of
average size, to bear the inscription
Hike for the Twin cities" on the up
per circumference, and the words
Lewiston Charleston" on the lower
edge. The center of the button, Mr..
swanson suggests, should contain a
picture of the twin cities, in the lower
part of which several men grouped
looking and walking toward the cities,
as II on the trail.
I think this slogan much better
group of words than any have heard

Lower Passenger Rates Are Provided For,
and Governor Empowered to Appoint
Railroad Commissions

North Dakota and South Dakota
passed a number of anti railroad bills
including 2-cent mileage books and
2 Ia cent fiat fare.
In the Southern States.
In the southern states there has
been a great deal of legislation ad-
verse to the railroads.
The Alabama legislature used par
ticularly sharp stick, fixing rates on
more than a hundred articles OF
freight, making sweeping reductions
existing tariffs, providing for recipro-
cal demurrage and reducing passenger
rates to two and one-half cents a mile.
The activities of the Alabama leg1s-
lature in this direction We're 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 the
states on the Pacific slope.
On the Pacific Slope.
Wyoming, Colorado and Utah de-
clined to enter the anri-railroad cru
sade. Colorado passed a few harmless
measures and Montana contented her
self with providing for a railroad COM
mission.
California was moderate in it's de-
mands on the railroads, but Oregon
passed comprehensive law empower
ing the state commission to regulatt
rates, providing for reciprocal demur-
rage and giving general restrictive
control of the railroads.
| Washington has been hot on thu
trail of the railroads for long tim'
and Nevada now has a railroad com
mission with broad powers Of regu
lation.

CONTROL EXISTS
hartman Takes Issue With
Rockefeller Concerning
Capitalization

NEW YORK, March BE. H. Har-
r,man, in an interview, replies to the
statements recently. credited to John
D, Rockefeller, in which the latter de-
clared against the over capitalization
Of railroads and other corporations,
and expressed himself as being in
favor OF government control of rail-
roads.
Mr.. Hartman was asked what he
thought of Mr.. Rockefeller's state
ment that there should be a federal
control of the railroads, and replied:
There is federal control now. The
arm of the government to which is
delegated the power for supervision
of railroads is equipped with enorm-
Gus responsibility.
Says There Are Laws Enough.
"There are laws enough in the stat
ute books now, more than enough. All
that is necessary is to have, them
judiciously and wisely administered.
There is no need for supplemental
supervision" !
When asked IL he thought the rail-
roads were over capitalized, Mr.. Har-
riman replied:

is most wonderful country. 1t mas

agination and speculative bent Of a

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 21.-E. Fl.
Hartman, President Stickney of the
Chicago Great Western and other
prominent railroad executives are
quoted as saying that they should
prefer to have their roads brought
under the control of congress rather
than be subject to the legiclation of
the several states.
1t needs but a glance at the various
anti-railroad measures passed during
the past six months or so to show that
ence on the part of the railroad off,
cials.
Congress, in response to the popular
agitation, commenced the crusade for
legislative regulation of railroads two
years ago, but it is doubtful if even the
most farseeing statesman dreamed of
the lengths to : which the crusade
would be pushed by the states.
Fever Has Been Sporadic.
The fever for anti-railroad legisla-
tion by the states seems to have been
sporadic in character.
New England has been compare
lively free from 1t, although no section
of the country has better reason to
complain of the domination of railroad
combines. New York has been busy
regulating the insurance companies
and other big corporations and as vel
has not had time to give q great deaI
of attention to the railroads.
J New Jersey and Delaware have mo-
bothered the roads to any extent. and
Pennsylvania started an investigation
that stirred things up and Ohio fol.
flowed suit by striking the first sue.

poration fever has manifested itself il
its most virulent form.
A wave of anti-railroad Legislation
has swept like prairie FIRE from Nortl
Dakota to Texas. The most popula
forms of legislation were 2-cents-a
mile-fare bills authorizing railroat
commissions to regulate rates and rail
way affairs generally
A number of states passed sucl
laws at the sessions now drawing t.
a close, or just ended, and in man,
other states agitation began whicl
promises lively times in the next ses
