The Hotel Problem.

Omaha is still living in hopes that it
will before long add to its present
equipment a big new hotel that will
outrank all the others. We regret to
have to admit that we do not Just yet
see this hotel in sight, but that does
not make it any less a consummation
to be wished.
The hotel problem. however, is not
exclusive to Omaha, but confronts
nearly all of our large cities. In Chi
cago, we'll supplied as the city is, the
outcry is for still more and better
hotels to accommodate the travelling
public. Referring to this demand the
Chicago American indulges some re-
marks which are equally appropriate
here:
Chicago needs and desires all the splen-
didly equipped hotels money and bust
ness enterprise can procure. The great
convention city OF the country must have
the two requisites-climate and hotel ac-
commodations 1t does not strictly mat
ter whether new hotels are individual in
vestments or a part OF a chain or a sys-
TEN or a trust extending to other cen
trail points Chicago does not care whether
the hotels are put up by capital from
New York or Berlin, Illinois or Paris or
whether the promoter proposes or does
not propose to put up a similar hotel In
San Francisco, Boston or Denver. The
main point Is that Chicago shall profit
by such investment where II is needed
and is likely to prove profitable. and that
its own facilities shall be increased. No
body ever has complained that any large
city ever had too many first class hotels

Back to the Railway Commission.

The decision of the United States
supreme court invalidating the Ne
braska law which undertook TO re
qulre railroad companies to put spur
tracks and switches to all grain ele-
vators alike, irrespective of whether
they were on the line or not, practi-
cally puts this question back to the
State Railway commission.
The law in question was the out
growth of flagrant discrimination by
the railroads in favor OF the line ele-
yators and against the farmers CO.
operative elevators by Withholding
trackage facilities and cars and other
accommodations. The supreme court,
however, seems to have agreed that a
law making it compulsory on the rail
roads to build a spur and switch on
demand without regard to the condi-
tions in each particular case, is equiv
alent to taking the property of the
corporation without compensation,
and, therefore, confiscation prohibited
Dy the IoueEdl CONSTITUTION.
A strict application OF this ruling,
however, without any other means Of
redress, would unquestionably work a
hardship in the other direction as
much, If not more, than would this
requirement on the railroads. Fortu-
nately, we now have a State Railway
commission fully empowered 20 take
up any complaint and render and en-
force a decision. on the merits in
vOlved. While the legislature cannot
by law confiscate the property Of the
railroads under any pretense or in
direction, the railroads are under OBJ
legation by their charters as common
carriers to provide the necessary facil-
tiles to take care Of all traffic offered
in an expeditions and reasonable
manner. The building of spur tracks
and switches could be ordered by the
State Railway commission on the
showing of any applicant who has
been refused, and 1t would devolve on
the railroad to make out that the de-
mand is unwarraHfed and unreason-
able and it's re<dsal in no sense dis
elimination in favor OF one set of
shippers as against another. The an.
nulment OF the law involved in the
supreme court decision, therefore,
ought not to be serious in its effects,
nor should 1t be assumed by the rail
roads to be a license for them TO go
back to their old practice of playing
favortes against particular elevators

A False Alarm.

After all it appears that President
Taft and former President Roosevelt
are still personal and political friends
and that the tales to the contrary are
a false alarm. The fact that the presi-
dent and his predecessor have been in
touch with each other right along is
corroborated, and must be just little
disconcerting in certain quarters,
though there is no reason for anyone
being surprised.
Dillgent and persistent effort has
been made in the last year to create
the impression that Taft and Roosevelt
had fallen out, that the administra-
tion's course in the Pinchot matter
had been the means OF severing a
friendship that had existed for many
years.
Intimate friendships of the sort that
has bound these men are not formed
in day, nor broken in a night. They
esteem and require as strong elements
to uproot them. The probability is
that If Theodore Roosevelt decides to
take an active part in the coming cleo
tions he will throw the whole vigor
OF his strenuous character to the sup
port of President Taft's administration
and will prove by actual deeds that he
is still for the man whose nomination
and election as president he did so
much to bring about,
The charge that President Taft has
been backsliding from the Roosevelt
policies is Just like the criticism made
of Mr. Roosevelt when he succeeded
President Mckinley and told the people
it would be his purpose to carry to
completion the work the late president
left unfinished. But when the time
came for choosing another chief magis-
trate this carping criticism was dead
ened in the volume of popular acclaim
that greeted the republican nominees.

Canada Bidding for Americans.

The Canadian government, accord
ing to the federal immigration COM
mission. has hit upon the novel plan
of paying cash premiums for American
settlers. The commission makes some
interesting disclosures along this line
in its recent report. They completely
confute the popular impression that
this migration OF American citizens
into the northern Dominion is alto
gether a spontaneous desire to get land
in that fertile country.
The truth is, as this report declares,
that Canada has a systematic plan by
which it is inducing this stream of
colonization. 1t has its agents estab-
lished in sixteen cities of the United
States, chiefly in the west, and these
agents work over certain radius of
country, so as to cover all the territory
from which it could be reasonably ex-
pected to draw new citizens. For every
man induced to go to Canada and settle
there the ottawa government pays SO
and for every woman smaller sum-
The success of this plan is reflected
in the fact that between 1901 and
1908 nearly $4,000 American men
and women went into Canada as emf
grants. Nor have these people gone
entirely without financial resources,
unable to buy land, and thus become
permanent residents. The report shows
they have had an average Of 81, 900
per capita. This is a most remarkable
showing and throws much light on a
subject in which the people of the
United States. and especially of the
west, must feel vital interest.
Whether it is their duty to undertake
to divert this stream OF emigration, il
is at least their right to know the facts.
In 1909 alone, it is said, nearly 10000
Americans left their own country for
residences in Canada.
Every man who has had his eyes
open has known of this steady drift
Of landseekers toward Canada, but few
have been fully aware of the methods
employed to stimulate this migration.
The common view of the movement
has been one OF entire friendliness.
Americans have believed It to be
good thing for some or their own peo-
pie to eolOnize the great growing sec
tloRs of Canada, plant American ideas
and ideals and create new markets for
American commerce. But this virtual
paying Of premiums for American set
tiers at so much per head Is so wholly

Strikes and Politics.


Strikes as a means of settling indus
trial disputes are bad enough, but
when employed as a vehicle for politi-
cal intrigue they are a worse menace.
The street car strike in Philadelphia
is forceful example of the grave
consequences Of such a combination.
Not only property and public convent
ence, but life, has been sacrificed as
a result of this strike.
In Philadelphia 1t seems that certain
large corporations in the city and
state, which we're at outs, have used
this strike to punish each other. They
have used the strikers as catspaws to
rake their chestnuts odt OF the fire.
They have ignored the claim of the
public for safe and uninterrupted car
service and turned their backs upon
the franchise rights derived from the
public, looking only to the achieve
ment of their selfish aspirations.
Where, OF course, strikers refuse to
lend themselves to such a conspiracy,
these evils, If not impossible, are at
least minimized. But the strikers are
always looking for every advantage
and are ready to accept assistance. 1t
is not unnatural for them to join
hands with one or the other of these
big corporations when the hand is ex-
tended Whether the strikers in Phila-
delphia have knowingly gone into
such a combination is not certain, but
It is widely believed that they have
had the opportunity. 1t is also the
confident belief that but for this very
outside influence this strike would
have been settled long ago. People who
have granted franchise privileges to
corporations and are entitled to first
consideration get none when these
crises arise and the corporation goes
into a finish fight with some hated
rival in politics.
If the city of Philadelphia and the
state Of Pennsylvania, even at such
fearful cost, have brought this evil so
prominently before the people that
they will demand some redress the
strike in the end might be counted
partly good, with all its toll of life and
property.

Progress of the Railroad Bill.

The railroad bill before congress is
undergoing the most thorough scrutiny
in both houses, which encourages the
belief that the people will secure the
enactment of a law that will meet
public needs and give general satisfac-
tion.
Senator Root, who made a three
days speech on the bill, advanced its
cause and facilitated its progress ma
terially in accepting the amendment
OF Senator Cummins to the court of
commerce clause, the feature of the
bill on which the insurgent element
action has been construed in the light
Of compromise, but friends of the
measure regard 1t as a stroke in di-
plomacy. 1t has not, however, com
pletely silenced opposition to this pro
vision and It may be reopened later
Opponents OF the bill have seriously
attacked it also because of a section
that permits what they call pooling
agreements" but which its friends in
sist is a necessary and salutary ar
rangement to maintain stability Of
traffic This section authorizes agree
ments between common carriers, sub
ject to the act specifying the classifi-
cations of freight and the rates, fares
and charges for transportation of pas
sengers and freight which they agree
to establish" provided a copy of the
agreement in each case is filed with
the Interstate Commerce commission
within twenty days after it is made
and before or when any schedule of
any rate, fare or charge or any classifi-
cation made pursuant to the agreement
is filed with the commission" Here is
a possible bone of contention, but the
bill declares finally and specifically
that nothing in it shall be deemed as
authorizing the making of agree
ments for the pooling of freight in
violation of the act of February 4 -,
1887"
Friends Of the bill have urged the
point that there is a sharp difference
between pooling traffic or earnings and
agreeing on certain classiflcations and
charges. The fact that this bill gives
legal authority to a practice common
for years-this one of agreeing on
classifications and charges-ought not
to condemn it. But the bill is attacked
again because it simply requires the
filing with and not the approval by
the commission of these agreements
Senator Root insists this approval is
entirely unnecessary.
A point objected to by the railroads
is found in the large powers it confers
on the Interstate Commerce, commits
sion in passing upon any schedule that
is filed. This latitude is so wide as to
allow lapse of ninety days from the
time the schedule is nled and takes
effect and it is urged that within this
extensive period the commission could
virtually dictate any change it saw At
in the schedules. But the friends of
the bill are giving close attention to
this provision and in their determina-
ton to secure the ultimate passage of
a good bill may be relied on to agree
to no alteration that seriously weak
ems it.
