THE SLEEPING CAR SITUATION.


sion recently ordered reduction In

Western roads. The United states
Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago
ing on the question of the justice
of the reduction ordered by the Com.
mission. The Court, however, has
ordered the railroads to file bond
out of which passengers paying pres

the Commission insist upon the re-

cannot afford to operate the sleeping

rates, The Santa Fe claims that 1T
cars attached to one of it's trains, and
the. st. Paul road protests that its
| sleeping cars are operated at an annual
| loss of 100000. 1t is said that the
Commission will obey the order of
! the Court; but that 1t is surprised
at the decision suspendins. the order
of the Commission.
Doubtless; but If the reduced rates
Will not enable the railroads to pay
the cost OF operating the sleeping car

is any law which will compel them to
continue the service, and as prudent

loss. Five hundred thousand dollars a
year means million dollars every
two years or five million dollars every
decade, and that would be more than
pected to stand. This loss, however.

| Thursday went good way toward
inspiring at least speculative CON
fdence in the financial district"
AS one OIL Rouse's old Scottish
Psalms puts it. such knowledge is
too strange for US, too high to un-
derstand'; out there it is and as we
look at it ST. Paul is trying to ill
on busted flush. We are not quite
sure of the Technology, but that is
the way 1t seems to a wayfarer who is
only seeking the light. Manifestly,
the railroads should not be required,
and cannot be required except by
species of commission and judicial
| confscation, to render service without
reward. and if they cannot make the
sleeping cars pay their own way
there is no law that we know which
can compel them to keep them on.

THE PEOPLE STILL READ.

| If any one think that the American
people are not interested in things
political. let him ask Senator Bourne.
| OF oregon. The Senator thinks other
wise. and he has good reason for his
opinion. Some time ago. before Con-
gress adjourned, he made speech in
which he discussed at length the Ore
Son system OF popular government.
and painted the beauties OF the refe-
rendum in his native State. We com
| rnented on the speech at the time, as
an interesting item OF news. though
we disagreed utterly with what the
Senator had TO say about the virtue or
the referendum; but we did not con-
slider the speech either epoch making
or especially brilliant. Since its de.
livery. however, there have been many
thousand requests for the speech, ana
the Senator. in response to inquiries
regarding 1t, has sent out 100000
copies of his remarks
Few men will take the trouble to
write for political speech unless they
intend to read 1t. and 1t is safe TO infer
that at least half million American
voters read what the Oregonian had
TO say about the way they govern
themselves on the coast. This means
that at least one voter in $50 knows
more about the referendum than he
did before. and Is more competent to
discuss the merits and dement's OF this
Bryanistic paramount issue
This Is decidedly refreshing in the
days or boss rule. for when the people
begin to read political literature. they
begin to think and are much less apt
to be led by political bosses. 1t was
SO in the younger days of the Republic.
Every newspaper then printed the
Presidents messages In full and long
reports of the Departments and col
umns Of speeches about every conceiv-
able political topic. The people read
these things over. and over again, and
were always competent to discuss po-
litical questions intellgently. When a
man entered the hustings TO discuss a
matter perhaps four-hfths of his audi
ence knew something of what he in
tended to say, and were not deceived
by the empty sophistry of the dema-
sogue
1t would be a great day for America
/ If there could be return to the par.
ticipation OF the voters in the making
of the laws-not through the rereren-
dunn, the recall or the half-hundred
other devices of opportunists, but
through intelligent criticism of public
men and public events. Such a day
may come, and certainly will come il
the men who mould public opinion will
take the public into their confidence.
will say things worth reading and will
remember that the people both read
and think.

OVERLAND PEOPLE
SETTLE TROUBLE
JOHN N. WILLYs IN COMPLETE
CONTROL OF CORPORATION -
COMPROMISE WAS EFFECTED
WITH FORBES AND CAMPBELL
AND THE LATTER RETIRE.

| The suit recently brought by r. p. c.
Forbes, jr,, and Henry F. Campbell,
| against John N. WHY'S, president of
the WHY'S Overland Co. of Toledo, O..
as an individual and as president Of
the American Motor Car Sales Co, was
withdrawn from the courts, d COM
promise arrangement having been eff
fected for the settlement of the diff
culties-Willys buying out the COM
planning interests. This move is to be
followed by a partial reorganization
and consolidation of the companies over
which he has control.
Indicating that Forbes and Camp
bell have been hampering his opera
tions for some time, WHY'S declares
that two months ago they made him a
proposition to buy them out for $1,000
| 600. In turn he offered to sell out to
them at the same rate, but they refus-
ed to be diverted from their offer.
This proposition l fatty refused"
says WHY'S. Their actual investment
with me was $4,000 and told them that
1 would not stand to be held up. /
offered them $4,000 for their stock. in
the sales company, but they declined
ahead and sue.
There was absolutely no ground for
the sensational charges they made in
their petitions, but l suppose they in
serted these charges to embarrass and
brighten me and make me come to
their terms. / finally compromised
rather than engage in prolonged Iitiga-
ton with its consequent notoriety, and
now the decks are cleared for action.
have bought them out and now own
all but 243 shares Of the 10000 shares
Of the different companies. These 243
shares are in the possession of men
who are working with me in the COM
pany in Toledo.
Il am going to reorganize all the
companieh into Willy c verland Co.,
of Toledo. The capital of this company
is now 100000, of which $4,000 has
been issued. The other 100000 is to
be issued to the Overland Automobile
Co., of Indianapolis and when that is
done the latter concern will be turn
ed over to the Toledo company MAX
ing but one corporation with capital
of 100000 with 800 as the par value
of each share.
Il am sorry the Indianapolis stock
holder of the American Motor Car
sales fled the suit against me- for it
brought things to a show down and
placed me in position to get rid of
them and reorganize the company along
the proper lines with one big concern
to handle the Overland business. This
has now been done and my automobile
interests are now in better shape than
they ever have BEEN"

MIcHELIN TIRE ACHIEVEMENTS
Remarkable Record Has Been Made
Thus Far This Season.

Remarkable Record Has Been Made
Thus Far This Season.
At the Indianapolis Motor speedway
| on Decoration day and last Friday and
Saturday, Michelin tires made a most
remarkable record for sustained speed
and endurance. During the three days
meet there were twenty eight separate
contests. OF these Michelin tires won
twenty five. 1t is believed that this
record for consistent work has never
been equaled. The contest of greatest
Importance from the point of view of
tire durability was Saturdays 200 mile
race for the $4,000 Wheeler & Scheb-
Ter trophy. In this contest Michelins
were the equipment of the cars that
finished first, second, third and fourth.
The contest of second importance in
the matter of distance and which sup
piled additional proof of the remark
able durability of Michelin tires, was
the 100 mile Presto-Lite trophy race,
which took place last Friday. In this
event Michelin tires were the equip
ment of the cars that finished first,
second third, fourth and fifth.
OF lesser Importance, because of it's
SIlOEi6E ulSldHCSt was the fI6Ily Bras
sard contest on Monday. Michelin
tires however, were again to the front,
finishing first, second and third. In
this contest all records were broken
for distances from thirty to fifty miles.
In considering the question of tire
durability the condition of the two and
half mile speedway at indianapolis
must be taken into consideration. The
surface is much better than it was last
year from the point Of view of speed,
but it is even more wearing on pneu-
matte tires.
In addition to the fine performance
at Indianapolis, Michelin tires achiev-
ed remarkable records at the Atlanta
motordrome on May 5, and 7, and at
the Los Angeles speedway, where
whole week of automobile racing took
place early in April
The car that won the magnificent
Atlanta trophy covered the whole 200
miles on one set Of Michelin tires, and
all but three of the other fifteen con-
tests were won on Michelins.
At Los Angeles twelve new worlds
track records were made on Michelin
tires, adding another series to the long
list of recent Michelin victories.
