Gen. Drain the leader of the ma
tional guard movement in the
United States.
The North Dakota boys will re-
main at American lake until Aug

dress TO the wholesalers association

IN increase would tend toward puDic

-All these things will make US think
\ We have had high finance in railroads,

that they want 10 increase rates SO

what? on watered stock. This ln-
crease must be added 10 the price OF

else less goods must be manufactured

"The tariff adds 90 TO loo per cent

thing that adds taxes and interferes
with production must be bad.
THE question is not whether the
public can run the railroads. BY
heavens. the railroads can be just as
well run by the public as they are
now. Can anybody say anything in
defense of the kind of service We are
getting? II the public can run the
