steenerson aided Homesteaders.

BY a new ruling obtained by Con-
gresham STEVENSON mention of which
was made in The Forum Saturday
hundreds Of settlers on the eleven
town in the Red Lake Indian lands
are benefited by ruling affecting
entries secured by Representative
STEVENSON from the interior depart
ment, under which six months con-
structive residence are counted in with
the fourteen months necessary to
prove up q claim.
Oscar Joplin, settler, was threat
ened with cancellation of his claim
because he had not lived on the land
for periods amounting to fourteen
months subsequent to the six months
allowed under the. law for him to make
entry on his claim. Mr.. STEVENSON
was urged to take the matter up with
the department of the interior and OBJ
tain :. reversal of the ruling. III
was contended that If the ruling was
to stand and the Joplin claim can
celled hundreds of settlers on Red
Lake Indian lands would find their
claims worthless.
Mr.. Stevenson recalled that the
same question had been threshed out
In 1907 with former Secretary Gar
field. At that time Mr.. Garfield made
a ruling similar to the one now COM
planned about.
Secretary Garfield accepted the JUS
tice of the argument, reversed pre-
vious ruling, and issued new ruling
under which the six months. construc-
tive residence after taking entry should
be commuted into the fourteen months
residence required.
Mr.. STEVENSON called this ruling tc
the attention of officials of the Indian
Office and to Secretary Ballinger. The

Adiuncts Of Railroads.
zone thing that has caused the peo-
| pie to feel that it is being imposed
upon by the express companies IS the
fact that the annual reports of the
companies themselves show tremen-
dous profits upon large capitaliza-
ton and the records of the companies
show that these capitalizations do not
all represent actual money invested,
so much as franchises and contracts
with railroad companies. The express
representatives met this fairly and
squarely, and stated, what is true with
reference to all express companies
doing business in North Dakota, that
the express companies are ad5uncts
of the railroad corporations. wheels
within wheels as it were, and that the
capitalization means nothing so far
as the actual profits based upon the
expense of doing the business is con-
cerned.
"The Great Northern Express conf
pany, for instance, pays to the Great
Northern Railroad company forty pc
cent of its gross receipts as compen-
sation for hauling the express cars.
This was arbitrarily agreed upon in
the early days between the railroad
company and the express company
and bears a relation to the actual
cost of transportation.
"All OF this goes to show how diff
ficult it is for C railroad commission
to determine whether a certain rate
is compensatory or whether it is COM
fiscatory, because in order to deter
mine the actual expens of hauling
certain commodities by express, the
entire expense Of the railroad itself
must be taken into consideration.
Figure on Entire System.
THE only way to determine these
rates, in my opinion" continued Mr.
Stutsman, "is by thorough investiga-
ton of the cost of operating the entire
railroad system, not only the express
but also the passenger, mail and
freight business, and not only the local
business in North Dakota, but over
the entire system Of each road oper-
ating in the state.
"The railroad and warehouse COM
mission of Minnesota some time ago
took the bull by the horns by putting
into effect a horizontal reduction Of
twenty per cent from the rate then
established. and the express com
panies are now protesting that the
present rates are conflscatory, and are
attempting to have the old rate re-
stored. This matter is now pending
before the commission, and the North
Dakota commission is +herefora dis
posed to defer any radical action until
after the hearing before the Mime
sofa board. Upon the result in Mime
sofa will depend largely the action OF
the North Dakota commission"
