GREAT WESTERN ROUTE
Atlantic Coast Line Preparing Il
Close the Gap Between Dunnellon
and OldtOwn
(Tampa Times, 11th)

Tampa is to have direct railway
connections with the west and that
within very short time. The Times
is today in position to give the news
Of what is to Tampa the most import
ant railroad project that has been un-
dertaken in behalf of this section and
city in many years.
The Atlantic Coast Line, the pioneer
railroad into Tampa, is perfecting
plans for the building of certain con-
Meeting links that will give this city a
direct outlet to the west. Best of all,
these improvements may be consum-
mat ted within the next year, as but
approximately but seventy-five miles
OF roads needs to be built. The route
will be from Tampa to Trilby, via
Lakeland; Trilby to Dunnellon; Dun
mellon to Oldtown; Oldtown to Perry;
Perry to Monticello; Monticello to
Thomasville; Thomasville to Albany.
From the two latter points in Georgia
there will be access by various routes
to the west.
The connecting links of railway TO
be built are: DunnellOn to Oldtown
on the Suwannee river, fortytwo
miles; Perry to Monticello. thirty
three miles. These two connecting g
links will give route running in an
almost direct line northwestwardly
from Lakeland. the only crook in the
road being the line running eastward
from Tampa to Lakeland.

can women hold public office, has been
answered in the affirmative by the

mended the appointment of Mrs. Creech

ANDY cARN[G|E'S IDEAS
On Trusts and Partnerships Told to

Committee

Washington, Jan. 12-Andrew Car
negie, continuing his testimony before
the House steel trust committee, yes
terday declared the day Of competition
had passed because of the ability of
manufacturers to fix and maintain
prices.
Men" he said. "have been able to
sit down and agree to fix prices and
maintain them"
DO YOU believe that situation to-
day destroys competition? he was
asked
Certainly"
THAT men in these corporations
meet somewhere today TO fix and
maintain prices?"
Il think that is obvious"
Mr. Carnegie was asked il he agreed
today with views he expressed two
years ago, urging government control
of corporations and regulation of
prices.
Il still adhere 10 them" he answer
ed II believe the government should
regulate maximum prices"
Don't you think 1t Is an unfortunate
condition."
Il think the time has arrived when
1T is necessary and l point TO the in
terState Commerce Commission, which
has brought order, peace and justice
out Of chaos in the railroad business"
Believes In Partnerships
II don't believe that any corporation
can manage a business like a partner
ship. When we were partners I felt
that We could run around corpora tions
You take thirty-fve young men in
terested in watching even leak in a
spiSot and no corporation can COM
pete with such an organization in any
business. 1t is the same thing with
the man who owns the land and tills
it. Take Iowa for Instance. When

mocracy. Those young men owned
their lands. their homes. Great Caesar
