capital. I am, by temperament, an
oprimist. I believe in the west, and
believe in the western people. I be-
lieve that they mean to be fair and
will be fair when they have time to
learn the facts and the effect of this
continual hammerirg of the real in
dustrics Of the country by the so-called
politicians. The railways can adapt
themselves to almost any condition,
If the condition is stable"
Regardiu5 the rate controversy, Mr..
Nudge continues:
During al the discussion and agi-
tatiou attending the enactment of the
Hepburn law and the Manu- -Elkins
law, there were many far-seeing rail-
way men who thought that the addi-
tional authority conferred upon the
commission would be beneficial to the
country and 20 the railways, and there
were othsr men, whose views were en-
titled to equal consideration, who felt
that to place the life and liberty OF
so much capital absolutely under the
control OF q Commission that might
be swayed b. political considerations,
was, 10 say the least, a dangerous ex-
pertinent and almost sure TO result in
disaster. IL seems. therefore, that the
outcome OF the present controversy is
locked upon by men holding both these
views as having a much greater i'm
Dortance than the mere question Of
the increase in the revenue involved.
The railroads are merely asking to
be allowed an even break They are
willing to pay their employees more
than twice as much as is paid in other
countries and they are willing to fur
ulsh transportation at less than one
half the charges made in other coun-
tries, and they only ask that they be
allowed TO charge a sufficient tariff
to enable them to secure money to do
what the public requires, viz. furnish
a safe and efficient return TO capital to
make the investment an attractive
one, which it is not at the present
time"
The statements credited above to
President Nudge Of the Rock Island
are IN line with remarks Of & pessimis-
tic nature he made on the occasion of
his drst official visit to the tri-cities
last year. At that time he emphasized
the great expense under which the
Rock Island road operates and gave

NUDGE,

II. L. Nudge, president OF the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company, is out with a gloomy article
on the immediate future OF the rail
road equipment business. Writing on
the Existing Railway Situation in the
current issue of the Railway Age Ca
zette, he says:
The railways made quite heavy
outlays last year for rails and equip
ment, and so far as I can learn, their
expenditures On these accounts for
the next 10 or y months will be very
light. IF am correct, the rail
mills and car and engine mauufactur-
ers will find themselves short Of or

personal opinion is, therefore, that we
are in for a period of noneXpansicn
and that the length Of severity will
depend largely upon the trend of pub

rights of the railways.

Entrance was gained through a tran

force a rear window with a spade
proved futile. There are marks on
the window sill and the spade was
found lying on the ground this morn
ing. Boxes were piled on the rear
platform and attention of the bur-
glars was turned to the transom. Mr..
Swanson has been robbed a number
of times and he makes it a practice
not to leave money in the cash reg
ister. Last evening, however, the
clerk forgot to remove the change
from the register. The register was
not damaged by the burglar as it
was not locked and to open it re-
quired only pressure on one of the

Watertown Joins with East Moline
Annexation of Watertown at East
Moline was discussed at a meeting
Of the East Moline Commercial club.

reported at the meeting that the
board of supervisors, in session yes
terday afternoon, had considered the
petition asking for an election on
the proposition of divorcing a part
Of Hampton township, now with the
limits of East Moline and annexing
it to South Moline township. Deci-
sion of the club members was to
forego action on any plan to merge
with Watertown till the township
matter has been disposed of. A COM
mittee of five-A. B. Johnson, DR..
