Judge Thomas on Traffic Legislation

AXtds cShn IL AhoAAuS VA ~
Soto. the we'll known lawyer and
jurlst, had in last Sundays St.
Louis Star u rather forceful ar
ticle in defense of the right of
railroads to make their own traffic
rates without interference from
legislation. Judge Thomas goes
far towards attributing the recent
financial panic to drastic legisla
tion against and prosecutions of the
railroads and other corporations,
and pleads for fair treatment to
the railroads, within certain laws
which the people have a right to
impose upon the traffic companies
in the interest of public welfare.
Each should play fair with the
other.
Right at this point, however, is
where the trouble lies, in our esti-
nation. How far will the railroad
companies 60 towards fairness if
there is no legal compulsion upon
them to act equally in balancing
the profits between the corporations
and the public2 When not re-
strained bv law or influenced by
competition it is conspicuously
noticeable that the railroads have
a pleasant way of gouging the pub
lie for all it will stand, nor is their
property valuation. which they
enter in their representation Of
basis upon which to make a rate
nd djustment, quite as honest as
might be from an interest that is
begging for fair treatment. Wit
ness this instance:
The Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road Co. in contending for the
maintainance of a four-cent per
mile passenger rate in the state of
Florida placed a valuation upon its
property in that state at 5000,
600 at the least. The state, which
was trying to enforce legal rate
Of three cents per mile, produced
an affidavit made by the same man
a month earlier to giving in the
above valuation to the effect that
this identical property was worth
not to exceed 81, 700, 200.
This is why the people believe
railroad traffic rates will not be
fairly adjusted as long as theil
regulation is left entirely in the
hands of the interested corpora
tions, and, thus, in the interest o1
the public, which must sustain these
traffic institutions, the interference
of the law becomes both expedienl
and imperative. In this connec'
ton. what We regard as the mos
significant part of Judge Thomas
article, is worthy of reproduction
herewith, viz:
ITO me, therefore, it is clea,
that the continued and persistent
interference of the State to limit
and fix railroads incomes, in ad
vance, must end in State owner
ship and operation, as surely al
God reigns and truth is eternal.

MISSA8E CLAIMS TWO MORE uC1lm,
Moo Killed at RAINY junction SATURDAY.
and Another in Local Yards SUNDAY.

Two deaths with twelve hours was
the record made in the local yards
of the Duluth. Missabe & Northern
on Saturday morning and at an
early hour Sunday morning.
Ellis Anderson, laborer employ
ed in the extra gang engaged in
laying steel and ballasting the new
spur track from Rainy Junction, a
mile south OF the city, to the Silver
mine, was the first victim, being
caught by a passing ore train at
the Junction shortly after the mid
night hour Saturday morning, and
ground to pieces, his head being
crushed to jelly and his body bad
ly bruised and mangled. No one
knows just how the accident occur
red, but it is presumed he was on
his way to the boarding cars
at Rainy Junction after spend
ing the evening in town when he
was run down by a passing train.
Anderson was about IS years of a age,
and so far as known had no rela.
tives in this section.
Frank Maxi, a section crew labor
er in the local yards, was the second
man to complete the record, his
mangled remains being picked up
near the water tank at shortly after
one o'clock Sunday morning. Evi-
dence was found that the unfortun-
ate man had been struck by south
bound train at point near the
south end of the PLATFORM, and
dragged several hundred feet. Both
legs were cut off close to the body,
and he was otherwise mutilated
and mangled. Maxi was Is years
of age, and had brother living in
this city.

Pioneer Pastor Revisits VIRGINIA.

Kew. .. J. Gary, formerly pastor
of the NJ. E. Church of this CITY but
now of the N. F. Church at McFall,
Mo-, accompanied by Mrs. Gary and
little daughter, Mrs. e. J. Books and
a nurse. arrived in the city Tuesday y
for visit with former friends, max
ing the trip from Duluth on a spe
cial train. Rev. Gary was pastor
here during the years 1894 SO, and
during his term made many i'm.
provements to the church edifice
and a most credita BILE record in
church finances. He states that at
the time of commencing his pastor.
ate in this city the church had ac-
credited members, while at the close
OF his three years of service a mem
bership of II attested the efficiency
of his labors.
While in Duluth Rev. Gary in
speaking to reporter said:
~ shall be glad to see Virginia
again, and hope l may meet many
of my old-time friends and parish
toner's up there" he said. "There
have been so many changes in the
Is years since | was there that |
suppose [ will hardly recognize the
place.
"During the pastorate at Virginia
l had some very warm friends, and
was thoroughly d1eliked by some,
but they were of the rougher ele
ment who did not want to see law
and order maintained. While was
there we put a stop to prize fight
ing in the city opera house and in
fact anywhere in the city limits;
besides We compelled the saloons
to close their doors on Sunday.
II was the only man in those days
to ride bicycle from the range to
Duluth in one day, but l accom-
plished the task on several occas.
ions. The trip was hard one, it
being necessary to come good
portion of the way on the railroad
tracks, over high trestles and
through deep ravines, but 1 suc-
ceeded in making the journey with
out suffering any great fatigue.
"We had delightful trip up the
lakes from Gary, Ind, with Capt. A.
K. Robinson of the steamer Harvard.
We will leave this afternoon for the
range and hope to spend few days
up there. We expect to
return on the Harvard on her next
trip, probably in about 10 days or
so."

The True Reason.

1t is not in keeping with the ten
cts of the fraternity, perhaps, for
the Enterprise to note the latest
"step forward" by our esteemed con-
temporary, which is published as a
semiweekly, but we were forced to
smile as we read the "piffle" about
the private carrier system inaugur-
ated by the Virginian and the Won
derful feat accomplished by its tal-
ented editor in this latest 'eclipse"
n his efforts to serve a suffering
public, and concluded to let all in
on the secret which demanded the
change in delivery system, which is
found in following
Paragraph 3 of Section 454 of Pos
tai Laws and Regulations, publish
ed in 1902:
"Newspapers other than weeklies
without regards to weighD and per
iodicals not exceeding two ounces
in weight, mailed by publishers or
news agents for local delivery by
carriers, are subject to postage at
the rate of one cent each. to be pre-
paid with ordinary stamps affixed"
1t therefore becomes visible to the
naked eye of the reading public
that the publisher of Virginia's
semi weekly was forced to either
put a cent stamp on each paper de-
livered by the local mail carrier
service, or make arrangements to
escape assisting Uncle Sam from
running his postal deficiency farth-
er into the ground.
