THE SWISS REPUBLIC

In Switzerland some years ago
the railways had strike. The
employees were willing to arbi-
trate, feeling that their cause was
a just one, but the insolent corpo-
ration declared that there was
nothing to arbitrate, and refused
to consider the demands of the
public. The attitude was very
similar to that of the street-car
monopoly in Philadelphia. Then
the government of Switzerland
acted. 1t did not, however, rush
to the support of the insolent rail
road corporation that had refused
to arbitrate, by the offer of placing
at its service the militia of the
Republic. No. Switzerland is a
democracy where the people rule
in fact as we'll as in theory, and
the State notified the railway COM
pany that unless within forty
eight hours the trains were run
ming, the State would step in and
take over the railways and operate
them in the interests Of the public.
As soon as the company found
that the Republic placed the in
terests of the people above the de-
mands of private corporations, it
made its peace with labor. Tween

A MONEY PUMP

Charles E. Russell in the New
York Call says:
"The postal savings bank bill is
a rotten bill, because it was de-
signed and introduced for the pur-
pose of pumping at slight expense
the public earnings into Wall
Street. 1t is going to be passed
for that purpose and have that
effect. When that is perfected,
We are to have a central bank,
planned bv Aldrich and operated
by the Standard Oil Company, to
divert the peoples savings from
the postal savings banks to the
enterprises managed from 26
Broadway. That will complete
the pump as planned by the gen.
tlemen now in control of our gov
eminent. The modern art of leg
islation is to draw bills that seem
to be in the interest of the public
and are really in the interests of
the corporations and money power.
The idea Of postal savings banks
is good and there is a strong pub
lie demand for them. Therefore
the interests pass bill that osten-
sibly creates postal savings banks
and under the surface creates n
money pump for Wall Street"

SUGAR OR WIND

The Alamosa Courier continues
its efforts to build sugar factory
with wind. Here are few quota
tons:
"Alamosa is in fair way to get
sugar factory direct from the
sugar interests and not by the
promoter route.
There is something doing in
sugar factory circles for Alamosa,
and a meeting will be called in
little while to further organize for
the campaign.
"Alamosa has anywhere from
100000 to $50, 10000 for sugar
factory proposition, but not sim
gle dollar for windjamming pro-
motors with nothing else behind
them.
There is only one logical and
practical location for a sugar fac
tory in the San Luis Valley at the
present time and that point is Ala
mosa. Besides being the most
central point of the valley, it is the
only point that has all the rail-
roads.
"Alamosa does not need to build
any railroads to land a sugar fac
tory"
Ten thousand dollars won't 90
far toward building n sugar factory
nor even fifty thousand. OF course,
Alamosa is central point in the
Valley, but you cannot raise sugar
beets on central points. What is
wanted is sugar beet lands. and
Monte Vista lies in the center of
the largest area of lands in the
Valley suitable for sugar beets.
