UNsETTLING BUsINEss.

The placing of the Frisco railroad in
| the hands of receivers. and the rumors
of a shaky condition of the Rock Is
| land are commanding the attention of
fnanciers and other business men in
the east.
AS if to still further unsettle bust
ness now comes the attorney general
with his plan to tax big concerns out
of business. OF course the tobacco
trust alone is aimed at now, but the
principle is applicable to all operat-
ing similar lines and any small con-
Germ finding itself unable to compete
with a larger rival might invoke the
same form of protection.
There appears to be no reason why
a railroad which is not getting its
share of business should not appeal to
the government for help, on the same
ground as that taken by the indie
pendent tobacco manufacturers.
When a penalty shall be placed on
railroads or any other kind of BUSH
ness for efficient management, and
successful operation the country will
have taken the longest step toward
socialism in its history.
There are four railroad lines between
New York and Chicago and two OF
them carry much more than half the
traffic, owing presumably to quick
time and generally satisfactory ser
vice. Any law which would force them
to divide with their competitors would |
hardly win the approval of the coun- |
try.
To the public good service at a fair |
price is the important thing.

ately, Sugar Three Years.
Senate Committee Agrees With
President and House.

Washington, June 12.-Free raw wool
Immediately, and free sugar in three
years as endorsed by President Wilson
and ADOPTED by the house, were APP
proved today by the majority members
of the senate finance committee. The
action sustaining the administration on
both schedules was taken after amend
ments to alter them had been voted
down.
The committee voted, however, to
leave open for the present the time at
which the rates of the new schedules
are to become effective, whether at
the enactment of the new tariff law
or at a later date. That will be de-
termined after all the schedules have
been approved.
An amendment for duty of is per
cent ad valOrem raw wool was
beaten by vote not made public. The
Stone subcommittee was unanimously
in favor of no duty.
The sugar section was reported IA
vorably by Senator Williams subcom-
mlttee. An amendment to strike out
the provision for free sugar after three
years was voted down.
I'VE acted on some amendments"

the committee, but we are not going

The majority also adopted the glass
schedule, approving a subcommittee
on unpublished, cylinder, crown and

Senator Penrose, ranking Republican
member Of the finance committee.
The measure probably will not reach
the senate until June 80. Senator
Smith of Michigan is preparing to lead
the fight against the sugar schedule
and Senator Smoot will command the
