THE RAILROAD HERE
The Location of the Depot Now Under
Consideration

Jerome will hereafter have double rca-
SONS lor celebrating July eth, a. this date
will commemorate the completion OF what
promises to he a trunk line OF the Ore
gOn Short Line system. The track laying
crew crossed main street Monday even
ing and Tuesday morning were pushing
their way eastward to the connecting
link few miles east OF town, which will
be reached within a few days.
Now that the rails have been laid, the
question OF the location OF depot and
trackage accommodations comes up for
consideration and is now under discus
sion through the medium OF the Com
lncrcial Club. Division Engineer Robin
son, representing the Railroad Co., and
whose duty it is to locate the terminal
grounds, met with several Of our repre-
sentative business men last week and
discussed these matters in an informal
way. 1t was Mr. Robinson's desire to
get the general sentiment Of our business
men and citizens upon this matter when
formal proposition will be presented in
AN official way, which has been promised
within few days.
Pending the arrival of this communi-
cation runlors are flying thick and fast
| 1t would seem to be the aim OF the Co.
to give jerome ample Accommodations, and
We believe it is the general sentiment OF
our people to lend encouragement along
this line. There are several locations Tor
the depot under consideration. and lib
rral profiers of land have been made fOr
this purpose, but no definite action has
been taken as yet. 1t is generally I'M
dcrstood that the selection lays in tho
hands of our citizens. The company re-
quire about nine acres for depot and
track purposes, and will undoubtedly
ask that this land be donated To them
in return for which they will promise :
modern depot with two spacious waiting
rooms and other cOnVrnicnccs.
Regular traffic will be inaugurated IA

condition for the running OF trains, an'

Quaint Old Court Records.

In the records of the Court Held
at Uppand. in Delowar River. From
1876 to 1851" are some quaint entries
of interest to Pennsylvania. This was
the court conducted by the Swedes.
Dutch and English previous to the
granting Of the state to Penn and pre-
vious to it's being named Pennsylva-
mia.
One entry is of "Jan Cornellisen of
Amesland. complaining to We court
that his son Erik is bereft of his nat
urall sences and is turned quyt madd.'
whereupon it was ordered that three
or 4 persons bee hired to build lit
tie BlockhOuse at Amesland for to put

In the suit Of Andres Inckhooren
against Constable Andres Homman it
appears from the record that 1.-The

his neck. and desires to know We rea

T HE 100000 corporations have made their
report of net profits for the last twelve
months. 1t was to their interest to make the
figures as small as possible. Under their sys-
tenn Of bookkeeping millions of dollars spent
on permanent improvements can be charged
to operating expenses. Of course, there we're
deducted from the gross earnings all the huge
salaries paid to the higher officials. All the
brides paid to newspapers to congressman,
to members of State legislatures, to lobbyists,
to press agents, to jurymen and judges were
deducted, before the net profit could be got
at Such expenses as the $4,000 year for
subscription to The Manufacturers Record by
the Standard Oil; such sums as those invested
In Senators Lorimer, Stephenson, Foraker
and Bailey are churged up to operating ex-
penses. Such contributions as the Trusts and
the Insurance Companies make to Taft-Roose-
velt-P Parker Bryan campaign funds, are like
wise entered on the expense account. So, also,
the lavish sums spent on "Gary dinners"
and other dinners Of the same character,
Whereat robbers meet and agree upon cooper
alton as to future robberies.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-12-07

After all these OUTLAWS were deducted, how
much remained for net profits? These 100000
corporations make oath to the stupendous
sum Of $3,3o0,0o0,oO0, gained in one year, over
and above all losses, all Mistakes all repairs
and all operating expenses
The national wealth is supposed to be about
$4,000, 100000. Its annual increase is per
cent. Consequently, population of 10000
900, add ,86oo,ooo,ooo per annum to the sum
total Of their assets.
Subtract from the entire increase, the In
crease made by the 100000 corporations; and
we have $1,5OO,OOOOOO left to be shared by
90,0OO00O people. Divide the $1,5O0,0O000O
by 100000, and we have less than seventeen
dollars apiece, for each man, woman and
child
But suppose we admit that 100000 of our
people participate in the net profits of the
100000 corporations. This would leave
100000 who do not derive any benefit from
corporation earnings. Among these 8O,0O0,0OO
is distributed the increase in wealth not
hogged by the corporations namely: the ST.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-12-07

5O0,000,0O0. This sum allows less than to0erty
dollars each to the mprivizeged many, who
own no stocks and bonds Of the privileged
banks trusts, railroads, &c.
Is not that an appalling situation? When
you remember that there are millions of pri-
vate capitalists who, on loans, speculations,
mercantile business, &C., earn hundreds of
millions Of dollars every year; and when you
remember that the salaries paid place-holders
aggregate other hundreds of millions, you can
easily understand why the common run of
people have no money
When the average increase in wealth is only
per cent? and when there are so many thous-
ands Of corporations and capitalists increasing
their wealth at 10, 20, 40, so and even 100 per
cent, aoh0t is to become Of the poor devils l0ho
hare to lose What the predatory class gains?
The greater the number of those who earn
more than the average, the greater must be
the number of those who get none Of the in
crease. and aoh0 haze to contribute, IN labor or
property, to the net earnings eobich erceed the
acreage Of 4 per- cent.
