THE QUESTION
Debate Between Mayor Rose of
Milwaukee and Rev.
Samuel Diekie.

Chicago. April 30.-Before an audi
ence which applaUded each speaker with
generosity, the second debate between
Mayor David 5. Rose Of Milwaukee and
President Samuel Dickie Of Albion col
lege, Michigan. on the prohibition ques-
ton was held at the Auditorium to-
might
Mayor Rose. in arguing the negative
of the proposition of prohibition is right,
said in part;
Thinking men recognize prohibition
as an extreme remedy wholly INSULT
Gent and destructive i'm the actual
practice, while. on the other hand, they
realize that the joint saloon and the
dive menace society. Now they are
seeking some rational middle ground"
Mayor Rose presented statistics from
Kansas and other prohibition states in
an effort to show that prohibition is
falling TO stop drunkenness. He said
the only churches nov in favor of pro-
hibition were those fostering intoler-
ance.
Mr.. Dicl1ie. arguing from the sffirma-
tive, cOntended that liquor drinking
shOrtens life and increases liability TO
disease
OF the dealers, he said:
The brand of Cain seems to be upon

Especial to The Herald)

Chicago, April 30.-Revision OF trans
continental freight rates as the result
of the Spokane rate decision, so far as
the Hartman lines are concerned, is
confined thus far to the class rates to
Spokane, but this is only the first step
in a general arrangement of the entire
rate structure. 1t was to preserve d
traffic principle that the Hartman lines
sought exemption from the interstate
commerce commissions order fixing re-
duced rates in thirty-fOur commodities,
as we'll as class rates. from ST. Paul
and from Chicago to Spokane. There
is no direct Hartman route through st.
Paul and the Hartman route from
Chicago to Spokane is much longer than
via the northern lines comprising the
Hill group. What concerns all the car
riers most is the breaking up Of their
commodity tariffs Owing TO water
competition, they adopted the plan of
adding the eastbOund rates from the
coast to many interior cities to the
through rates westbOund. As the in
termOuntain cities grew up they OBJ
jected to this system, which seemed
rank discrimination.

Complaints Are Many.

Many complaints have been filed with
the commission by western commercial
organizations and individual shippers,
and recently Utah's representatives in
congress have taken I'D the matter with
President Taft. with the result that the
government cOntemplates a general in
vestigatiOn. a development not alto
gether unwelcome to the railroads.
Among numerous instances of higher
rates TO interior cities than through
rates.. to Pacific coast cities, out Of
which most complaint has developed.
may be cited the following: A car Of
rails. 0000 pounds, costs $40 to Utah
common points and $3.50 to the coast.
A car Of cocoa beans from Chicago to
salt Lake City costs 1854. as against
$3.50 to San Francisco. ~

General Readiustment.

The commission confined its order in
the Spokane case TO the rates COM
planned of by the Spokane shippers, but
il recommended to the western lines a
change in the general rate situation.
and suggested that the lines get together
and agree on an adjustment to inter-
mediate points. This is what the Hill
Hartman interests are doing now.
These interests are endeavoring to in
augUrate a general movement, precipi-
tated by Utsh's congressman, to adjust
freight rates.
Seldom. if ever, in the history of this
cOuntry's railroading has so large a
task of the kind been undertaken. It is
a costly undertaking. because every
change made in the rates is and will be
a reduction. Only westbOund rates are
under consideration, but before the re-
adjustment is fully worked out the
gross loss TO the railroads Of the cOun-
try could easily run into the millions.

Task a ThankIess One.

And il Is q thankless task. because
so many divergent and often conflicting
interests are involved. and they are ex-
tremely Jealous of one another in any
distribution Of favOrs. Even otherwise.
it would be difficult enough for the rail-
roads to compromise all their own in
tricate differences Finally the COM
missions approval must be obtained.

for commercial supremacy i'm as wide
distributing area as can possibly be
reached. This competition viii comph-
cate matters. as influences from all the
cities viii be exeTted to secure favorit-
ism in rate schedules.
Chicago interests are pleased with the
prospect. because they feel that the
former practice of the transcOntinental
lines of making d blanket rate from
all points east of the Missouri river de
prived this city of its natural advan-
tages of location, local shippers being
charged the same rates as New York
shippers. The tendency has been for
coast cities at both ends to draw traffic
at the expense of the interior centers.

ton of Miners, and the Animas Power

would be given to mining. If these
companies would consent for mutual
interest, to reduce the cost to the mine
producer by SO to $3.50 per ton--the
amount 10 be apportioned among the
four--many mines that do not pay un-
der the present conditions could be
operated on margin. No one will
blame capital for refusing to invest
100000 or so, unless the money will
bring some return.
II all the mines. which such a state
of affairs would make possible, were
to be started up. the result would be
very large increase in output, tonnage
and production. Additional labor
would be required. more concentrates
would have to be hauled by the rail
roads and treated by the smelier, more
power and light used, beside more sup
plies needed. The increase of bust
ness would more than make up for
the reduction in the tariffs imposed by
the companies mentioned above.
Alr, Kane thinks that in time the
reduction will be made. since the com
panles will see that it is to their in.
ierest as well as to that of the mine
owner. The vast increase in the vol
ume of business thus resulting will be
of mutual benefit to the persons di-
