A MILLION A DAY OF
THE PEOPLES MONEY
BY EDWARD FRENSDORF.

My article giving my views OH the
question OF increasing freight rates
must have found sympathetic readers
Judging from the nubemr of notes
have received. approving OF the posi-
tion and urging me To write more.
When Attorney Louis ID. Brandeis
representing the peoples side OF the
case in the rate discussion before the
interstate commerce commission, last
month. made the statement that the
proper conduct of the railroadt busi
ness and the utilizing of all its OPP
portunities would result in the saw.
ing Of a million dollars a day, this
announcement startled the business
commercial world, but he did not tell
the managers of railroads, anything
they did not already know.
1t may be that none but al expert
should venture an opinion on this
question, but fools tired in where wise
men dare not venture. | am led 10
believe there is ample foundation for
Brandeis' conclusion.
II would make a lengthy article to
detail how and why this studpendous
su mis- exacted and extracted from
every man, woman and child, for. in
fact, every person directly or indi-
rectly. is a customer OF the railroads.
But briefly will say that 80 per cent
of the supplies and material used in
building and operating railroads, in
Gliding fuel, is purchased OF sub
sidiary companies That Is the men
VIII cooperate or control mot own the
railroads. have controlling interests in
the steel companies, the car COM
panies. the locomotive companies, the
coal mines, the oil companies, stone
quarries. lumber companies. cement
companies. the estinghouse air brake,
the block signal, and a hundred more.
That is all small rake-off--petty lar
ceny, so to speak-compared with
what the insiders get out OF their
holdings in Pullman Car Co, refrig-
orator cars, poultry and special live
stock car companies. There is not a
semblance of an excuse for the rail.
roads not owning and operating all
the above. But we will get irao big.
ger things that the public in general
never heard or thought of.
Do you know what fast freight
lines or what purpose or function they
perform? | admit I don't, and have
been doing business with the rail
roads more than 20 years do know
you can't make shipment other than

ADVERTISING TALKS


quickers able to get all of this
money out of the people?
1T WOULD NOT HAVE
BEEN POSSIBLE EXCEPT
THROUGH PUBLICITY.
They bought the publicity
from publishers whose editorial
consciences seem to be all right,
but whose business conscience
permits the acceptance of adver-
tisements of every kind and ma
ture SO long as they bring in
money.
The publications that have
been the most guilty and con-
tinue to be guilty of placing be-
fore their readers IRRESPON-
SIBLE ADVERTISEMENTS
have been using flaring head
lines and news stories that tell
OF the great outrage pdrpetrated
on the people.
What is the matter with pub
fishers whose moral sense is so
dulled? Are they less guilty
than the get-rich-quickers? ?
Should they not be punished
also? Why should they be i'm
mune?
Does a publisher who accepts
FRAUDULENT ADVERTIS-
ING enjoy special privileges
that prevent him from being
called to the bar of justice to
answer for his crime? Is it not
criminal to publish the adver-
tisements of scoundrels
Money is the god of. most men
that's the real basis of most
BUSINESS DISHONESTY. But
there is a day coming when get
rich-quick publishers will have
to render an accounting to the
federal government as well as
the men who have sold and are
selling gold bricks to the public.

Three millions of matches, according to
the statistcans, are turned out every min
ute of the "a hours of the day by the civil
lied nations of the earth This is con.
sumption of 7,0O0,000.000 year. and it is
said that half of them are burned in the
United States. Matches are cheap and
very insignificant compared with some 9th
er articles of wood but the manufacturers
complain that they are beginning to find
the raw material for their product scarce.
Only the choicest portions of the best trees
are suitable. Sapwood. knotty or cross
grained timber will not do. Instead of
being a by-product of other articles of
manufacture. the little match is turned
out at hundreds of mills over the country
where the by-products are bulky objects.

cedar, poplar birch and willow are the
most suitable match timbers-Utica Press.
