The statistics which Howard Elliott
president of the Northern Pacific
! Railroad. has brought forward in an
swer TO the question "Who owns the
railways" deserve to be widely cir
| culated. They are important.
He begins by calling attention 10 the
fact that official figures under date OF
June 80. 1909, show that there are
nearly 100000 depositors in the say
ings banks Of the United States. with
nearly $500 100000 to their credit;
that there are nearly 26.0OO.O0O separ-
| ate policies Of life insurance, with
over Sl4,J00, 100000 insurance in force.
Having laid this foundation. Mr.
Elliott proceeded 10 remark that the
savings banks own a great many rail-
way bonds and partly through the
ownership Of those bonds they are
able 10 pay interest 10 their dcpositors
The life insurance companies, also, he
observed. are very large owners Of
railway bonds, and in a great many
cases are very large owners Of railway
stocks.
He then advanced this reasonable
conclusion:
Anything that affects the stability
and the investments OF the banks. and
OF the life insurance companies, affects
millions Of people all over the United
States and il is important that the
great railway corporations that are
trying To do their duty I'm furnishing
transportation for this growing coun-
try be treated with fairness, not only
so that they may obtain new money for
needed transportation facilities, but
also so that the millions Of people who
indirectly are interested i'm their Sc
curities will be protected. Anything
that tends to shake the confidence Of
the deposition in the savings banks. or
the confidence of the holder Of the life
insurance policy, will have a bad effect
on the general business Of the country,
and the effect will be far-reaching
now and in the future.
Injustice TO the railways would be
poor policy from the standpoint of the
people OF the United States: for IL
would react upon themselves i'm many
ways including those suggested by

The dissatisfaction which has exist :

and began the formation of an inde-
pendent lodge They will call them
selves the Knights and Ladies of
Michigan Maccabees. admitting the
hive members, and at a meeting to be
held this week win elect officers and
committees Tor the formation of con-
stitution and bylaws.
The trouble in the Maccabee ranks
has been brewing for about four years.
1T began when the great camp organ
lied Class 2. and has been aggravated
by This body's steady refusal to push
the interests of Glass /. The attitude
of the great hive at the convention in
Kalamazoo last June in refusing to
make any provision for Glass 1 was
the last stroke andrevolt ensued.
This detachment, from the old order
involves some 1926 tents in the state.
With their cooperation the Grand
Rapids tents have taken the initiative
in establishing II new order, and as
soon as the organization is perfected,
will include the outside tents.
