ANOTHER WEEK
Of FREE LUNCH

The patrons of the free lunch
counter can have another week of
grace at least.
The police and license commit
tee failed to come to any conclu-
sion on the matter yesterday and
the proposition OF abolishing the
free lunch was laid over for a
week.
The attack on the free lunch
at first was thought to be move
on the part of the temperance
people but 1t appears that the
saloonmen themselves are backing
the movement. Many of them de-
clare that the free lunch is now
costing them over $1,000 year
and they are not getting as much
business from 1t as it costs.
Therefore they want it abolish
ed. They cannot do it voluntari-
ly as others would keep 1t going
and they would therefore Lose
some business so the city is asked
to abolish the free lunch and
then all will have to obey the
order.

WITH HARTMAN THR0TTL|NC COAST

commercial development in the
history of the country. During
these same years the transcontin-
entail railroads were practically
unable to handle the business.
Freight that was formerly trans
ferred across the continent in 20
days by rail during the year 1907
was from 60 to 80 days In transit,
and sometimes longer. The trans
continental railroads actually
broke down" in trying to handle
the business of the country, yet
during this great congestion of
transcontinental business the
freight handled by the way of
Panama steadily decreased, though
the handling facilities on the 18TH
mus and between New York and
Colon had been greatly enlarged
and improved. Additional wharves
had been built at both ocean ter
minals, the Panama railroad had
been double tracked and complete
ly re-equipped with engines and
rolling stock, and in every physic-
al way it was better than ever able
to handle trans-continental bust
ness.
Why did this Mapped? Answer,
Il. HI. Hartman.
In January, 1908, J. L. Bristow,
special Panama railroad commits
sioner, reported to congress advis-
ing that additional ships be pur-
chased and an adequate line run
between Panama and the Pacific
coast cities. The cost was estimat-
ed at about $6,000,00O. It was
frankly admitted that the line
might have to be run at loss in
the beginning. 1t was urged, how
ever, that 1t was only fair to the
producers in the western part of
the United States, the farmers, the
fruit growers and the handlers of
merchandise that they be given
this outlet for their commerce
rather than be compelled to pay an
arbitrary and extortionate toll to
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-04-28

the trans-continental railroads.
AS an illustration of the way
freight is compelled to use the
railroads one has only to note how
lumber goes from the vicinity of
Portland, Ore, to the Panama
canal to be used in the construc-
ton of the canal. Instead of going
straight down the Pacific ocean by
water the 100000 feet of lum-
Der supplies used in a year are
shipped across. the continent and
then are sent south to Colon or by
way of either New York or New
Orleans.
The secretary of war is presi-
dent of the board of directors of
the Panama railroad. General
Clarence Edwards of the Insular
bureau, is a member of the board
of directors. The secretary of
war has announced that he will
do nothing at present with the
complaints against the Pacific Mail
Steamship company. He has re-
turned the papers in the case to
General Edwards with the sugges-
ton that the whole matter be re-
ported next winter to congress.
General Edwards is frankly OPP
posed to installing line Of
steamships to compete with the
Pacific Mail ships.
II am against operating ships at
"a loss or operating our Panama
Canal corporation at a loss," said
General Edwards. $50 long as this
fiction is maintained of a Panama
corporation and am a director of
this fictitious Panama corporation
1 shall act just as I would IL I
were a director of an ordinary pri-
vate money making corporation. i
will try to make it pay. 1t is big
question. I was talking with
Speaker Cannon the other day and
he agreed with me that the best
thing to do about It would be to
report the whole thing up to con-
lgress."

Z CHICAGO, April 28.-Albert

friend of the German emperor and
former member of the German

committed suicide yesterday by in

Itch became tired of his quiet life.
He took 100000 of his family

Penniless and without friends,
Koelich asked for permission to
sleep in McGee's office. After
sweeping the floors and busting

For years the trans-continental
railroads have smothered trade by
way of Panama. In 1889 the
transcontinental railway pool paid
the Panama railroad $4,000 per
month for the privilege of fixing
rates by way of Panama. This
amount was afterward reduced to
$4,000 per month, and later to
$55, 200. These sums, IL the rail-
road had not earned anything else,
would have paid fair dividend
upon its invested capital. In 1898,
after a congressional inquiry, this
subsidy was discontinued.
Since 1893 other methods have
been used by the trans-continental
railroads to control and suppress
the Panama railroad competition.
During these years, and at the
present time, control is affected
by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Co., which is itself controlled by
the Hartman transcontinental
lines. The Pacific Mail Steamship
Co. Is the only line running ships
between Ancon, the Pacific port
of the Panama railroad, and the
Pacific coast cities, but the only
city touched at ON the Pacific coast
is San Francisco. San Diego, Los
Angeles, Portland, Seattle and Ia
coma are without this water con-
nection with the Panama railroad.
The Panama railroad has fine
line of steamers on the Atlantic
side. They run from Colon to New
York and do a thriving business in
freight and passengers. II the gov
eminent had a similar line of
steamers on the Pacific side, sail
ing from Panama and touching at
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Portland, Seattle and Taco
ma, there would be competing
water route between the Atlantic
and the Pacific cities. This route
would regulate the transcontinen-
tai railroad rate.
The Hartman Morgan Hill
transcontinental railroad interests
have successfully throttled the
Panama competition by controlling
the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
+pany. A chain is no stronger than
its weakest link. The weak link of
this chain is the link between Pan
anna and the Pacific coast cities.
But the United States govern
ment owns this three-quarters
route from New York to our Pa
cific coast ports. In neglecting to
complete the route by the addition
of steamships from Panama 70 the
Pacific coast cities the government
stands charged with completely In
maintaining the monopoly OF the
transcontinental railroads.
This charge finds further sup
port in tbs fact that the rate o. the

Panama railroad, operated by the
secretary of war, is rate based
on the transcontinental railway
rate. UP to a few months ago ii
was a rate thirty per cent off,
the transcontinental rate. Just be-
fore President Roosevelt left Of
flee an order was issued by Luke
Wright, secretary of war, making
it fifty per cent off" that rate.
This amounted to considerable
reduction, and 1t came in answer
to the concerted movement of the
transcontinental railroads for a ten
per cent increase In all freight
rates.
Pacific coast merchants are be-
ginning to object to this plan of
making rates. So long as the Pa
mama rate is a certain fractional
per cent of the transcontinental
rate it is not really competitive.
When the transcontinental rate
rises the Panama rate rises also

good to the committee and it held
up the franchise and an effort
will be made to have the company
run it's tracks up higher on the
bluff to avoid blocking the water
front all the way along.

pany will simply take all the

for private or municipal wharfs in

Land Ahead

DO you remember Sylvester Baxter's
weird story OF "rhe Heaven Of Dead
Ships?' The inevitable destination OF
derelict, rudderless Ri US Is the
Sargasso Sea sea within sea, formed
OF gulf weed, amassed by the force OF
swirlipg currents. Tine Gulf stream
carries the weed southwark: then, 1t
sweeps it arc md in o southerly
direction, collecting IL in great masses
Mt a common center. Naturally, derlicts
take the course OF the seaward. To the
lost mariner, it is hooking suggestion
Of "Land ahead;" One might fancy q
tropic sun hal sucked the Atlantic dry.
How like the rudderless ship--witbout
mast orspar or sail are many men. The
onward sweep Of resistless human
currents move their burdens toward
certain Ravens. But there are
points where the ships may deviate
unless the rudeers hold her to the
current. Without 1t she turns toward
n hapless doom. In their frantic aimless
course, the fitel seaman sight land
which proves to be only Sargasso
Sea. Toward this sluggish reign Of
blasted hopes every man, devoid OF
ideals and convictions, Is turned. One
may be :carried by the currert-but
not distant ports. There are diverging
tangents that lead to zones never
friendly sail is sighted.
