REALTY ACTIVITY
HINDERED BY RAIN
Almost Continuous Downfall of
Week Hampered
Operations.

Real estate and building activity was
seriously interfered with during the
week by reason of the almost continu-
men complain that the unseasonab Bile
weather has greatly hampered their
business.
A notable exception to their inactivity.
however, was seen In the sale of nine of
Harry Wardman's new houses in the
operation of 112 which he has under
construction In the square bounded by
Sherman avenue, Columbia road, and
Harvard street northwest.
These houses were first put on the
market by Shannon & Luchs last Satur-
day so that the record, in spite of the
rain, was more than a sale a day for
the week. Building was more ham,
pered than real estate buying, as the
builders explain that the bad weather
entirely disrupts their plans.

A bill known as Lever bill, H.
R. 18493, has been introduced in
Congress that should not become
a law. It provides for a big re-
duction of the present tax of 10
cents pound on oleomargarine,
to color that product and sell it
for butter to the detriment of ev-
cry farmer who sells butter or
cream and to the deception of ev-
cry consumer who might thus be
induced to buy oleomargarine for
butter. AS we understand it,there
is now no special tax on uncolored
oleomargarine nor is any pro-
posed. -Farnaingtora Neacs.
1t is news, indeed, that the tax
of ten cents pound on oleomar-
gerine authorizes the manufacturer
to sell it for butter. The State law
Furnishes fraud in foodstuffs, and
the Federal statute requires that
every pound Of oleomargerine shall
be stamped as such--colored or
uncolored, and there is heavy
tax on the latter. 1t is an outrag-
eous law and should never have
been enacted. II was given as a
sop to the farmer that he might the
more quietly submit to being rob-
bed by the Protective Tariff-the
tub -headed consumer not being
held worthy of consideration. A
good many years ago, when cotton
cloth was first introduced into
England, Parliament denied it's
use for many things and absolute-
ly forbade it's being dyed or color
ed, because of the interests of the
wooden industry. I suppose If the
Ne'Os man had been then and there
existent he would have upheld the
law and denounced its attempted
abrogation on account Of the con-
sequent "detriment" to the wool
grower.

Washington Correspondence.
BY CLYDE H. TAvENNER.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The
railroads have inaugurated cam
paign to increase freight rates
over territory embracing prac-
tically half of the United States.
Not satisfied with an arrangement
which permits them to pay enor-
nous dividends on a capitaliza- :
ton that is composed largely of
water, the roads intend to still
further enrich their stockholders
at the expense of the people.
Two years ago the Interstate
Commerce Commission refused to
allow the roads to increase their
rates. Now these same roads,
through indirection and by piece
meal, are trying to accomplish the
very thing the commission told
them they could not do.
AS part OF their strategy, the
roads have filed with the commits
sion new classification of freights
that is; they have requested the
privilege of dumping" certain ar
ticles of one class, on which a cer-
tain freight rate is allowed, into
class above, carrying higher
rate. More than 1400 articles are
enumerated, and if the commits :
sion allows the request, the peo-
pie will be forced to pay increased
freight rates ranging all the way
from 10 to 300 per cent.
In submitting their new classi-
fication plan the roads were care-
full to include number of re-
ductions, apparently for the pur-
pose of detractlng attention from
the fact that the proposed increas-
es are far in excess of the proposed
reductions. The state railroad and
public service commissions of
Arkansas, Colorado, California,
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon,
Oklahoma, Washington and Wis
consin have united in a protest
against the proposed reclassifica-
ton on the ground that the pro-
posed increases are go per cent. in
excess of the proposed reducti ons,
and that the plan is simply part
of a subterfuge to get through a
general increase in freight rates.
The charge has been made in
Congress by Senator LaFollette
and others that the corporations
of this country, including the rail-
roads, are capitalized at S32,672, {.
100000, and that 70 per cent. of
this capitalization is water. By
far the major part Of this water is
comprised in the capitalization of
railroads, and they are always
face to face with the problem OF
paying dividends on their watered
stock, while at the same time
maintaining their service to the
public.
The Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road, for instance, values
the land in it's right. of-way at
SIT, 200 mile. This road got it's
right-of-way from the federal and
state governments, absolutely
free, and the $4,000 a mile valu-
alton, therefore, is part of the
largely fictitious capitalization on
which the travelling and shipping
public-which includes every man
woman and child in the land
must pay dividends.
