The interest which Representative
Speer Of Usage county, takes in the
maximum freight rate bill proposed
two years ago 10 tie legislature Of
Missouri shows that no mistake was
made In the first place in putting
this excellent representative in charge
of the bill. Mr., Speer felt at the
time that the senate amendment Of
the stock schedule endangered the
law before the courts and probably
was int nded to do 30. The
elimination Of class J was evidently
aim ed at the father Of the bill, and
Mr.. Speer is aiming at this session
to carry the old bill through with
hardly a change In It's provisions II
is hoped that he may be successful.

to the public than the enactment Of

1t is pointed out that practically
all Of this money comes from ST.

fund St. Louis and Kansas City ought
to get the greater part Of it. 1t is
further pointed out that the denomi.
national schools Of the state are
contributing largely to public educa-
tlon, and that it ought to be possible
for the testator to name some deuomi-
national school which should receive

that this law will be modified by the

The proceedings which Attorney
General Hsdley has instituted against
the Missouri Pacific Railroad Com
pany designed 10 test its alleged
violation OF the law in operating coal
mines and being engaged in express
business aud elevator business is
important. II Mr. 'Hadley is 10
earnest, this prosecution bids fair to
be the beginning Of a movement Of
much import to this country Nearly
all OF the larger railroad companies
have organized express companies.
The Rock Island is said to have done
so Within the past month. The
public impression prevails that these
Independent organizations are formed
by the railroad managers for the pur-
pose Of absorbing a part Of the profits
of the railroads and Of converting it
to the benefit Of a smaller circle.
Some OF the express companies are
said to declare dividends Of from 25
per cent to 40 per cent. Railroad
conduct Of the elevator business in
the North west has long been a source
OF scandal, and railroad activity ia
the coal mining industry would have
excited more general opposition long
ago If IL were not for the fact that
conditions are different in different
parts Of the country. In the East
the rule is that the mines own the
railroads. In the middle states aud
the West most Of the railroads are
engaged 10 the business Of cjal

II Mr.. Herbert Hadley is IN earnest
in his prosecution OF the Missouri
Pacific suits instituted this week he
has opened up a field Of new issues
which must become political 10 the
next campaign The danger to the
public in the operation of subsidiary
corporations by the officers OF a
railroad company has often been
pointed out. This ground has been
threshed over thoroughly. But moral
quality Of this sort OF thing viewed
in another respect has not been
sufficiently pointed out II the
directors of a local bank were 10
accept their own money on Time
deposit at rs per cent, the other
stockholders would at 0nce see that
they we're being robbed, and the
directory would have cause to fear a
rope and a lamp post But some Of
the ia vored ones Of a railroad
corporation may organize an express
company with contracts such as to
enable it to make from Is to 40 per
cent 8 year and the offense to the
smaller stockholders Of the railroad
company goes by no worse name than
the "~shearing Of the lambs" Very
much the same thing may be said Of
the operation OF the coal mines, grain
elevators, and other such enterprises
Ia which the railroad managers
engage through subsidiary organiza.
tions. The injustice is not altogether
nor even primarily to the independent
operators 10 the same industries, but
to the minority stockholders OF the
main corp ration, who are robbed
to enrich the smart ones who expect
their chief gains thlougE The
subsidiary corporations, IL is in
favors to their own subsidiary
corporations that the managers o.
