Governor Major has been call
ed '"devilish" in his manner of
distrib uting the political pie by
two strong Democratic party
organs in this section OF the
state recently, yet here comes
the De Soto Press with a peep
that the stories Of the srouch
among Missouri Democrats over
the patronage feast are simply
Republican lies. 1t is said that
Governor Major aspires to be-
come Senator Stones successor
in 1914 and is building up a ma
chine to push him through. If
this is true, the soreheads will
get their satisfaction in the
election booth, for United States
Senators are hereafter to be
elected by the direct vote of the
people, same as the township
constable.

jefferson City, President
Wilson, the Democrat in the
White House, is not making all
the blunders that are to hurt
Democratic party interests in
Missouri. What he is doing in
Washington is driving voters in
Missouri away from the Demo
cratic standard by the thousands,
but certain Democratic officials
at Jefferson City are making
their party suffer from blunders
more seasoned and less foolish
leaders can not excuse or apollo
gize for. 1t has always been held
by ObSeryant opponents that
Democratic leaders are sure to
do the wrong thing at the right
time. The Democratic leaders
at Washington are certainly JUS
tifying that political observation
while the leaders at Jefferson
City are doing even worse.
Governor Major has done some
really smart things (from the po.
iitical standpoint but he has for
feited all the credit he gained
from the smart things by doing
and saying foolish things. He is
not level headed politically, never
was, but belongs to that class in
politics given to matters of ex-
pediency, to things that look like
good political play" Matters
involving substantial thought and
related to fixed and definite gov
ernmental principles do not en-
gage him so readily. Tne same
is true, and..to a greater degree.

being charged with being an

the other side of the question

Railroad Financial Control.

From the Post-Dispatch.
The Frisco receivership gives
the country one striking, invalu
able object lesson. 1t offers the
eliminating proof OF the neces-
sity of gov nrnment control of
railroad finances.
The Frisco's financial overload,
under which great railroad
system with an extraordinary
earning capacity, serving a rich
and rapidly improving territory,
collapsed is not single. It is cie
of hundreds of similar examples
of financial exploitation and mis-
management by which investors
have been looted, the public bur
dened and the country disgraced.
We need not recite the innum,
cradle instances of splendid rail
road properties stripped of earn
ings and loaded with liabilities.
The history of railroading is full
of them. In recent years the
revelation of high financial jug
giles with railroad credits and Sc
curities, by which adroit and un-
scrupulous railroad manipnlators
have made millions at the expense
of investors and the freight
paying public have astounded
the world. Recent examples
are found in the Wabash, the
New York, New Haven & Hart
ford and the Frisco. The Mis-
souri, Pacific is recovering from
the stripping and loading process
under a reorganized manage
ment.
We need not emphasize the
evil of over capitalizing railroad
properties and Juggling with
their credits. They swindle in
vestors. They burden the pub
lie with excessive transportation
rates. They oppress and dis
turb business. They brand
American railroad management,
They discredit American securi-
ties in all markets and thus
hamper legitimate railroad ex
pansion and operation.
The public suffers because
reasonable charges and adequate
services are impossible with over
loaded and looted railroad sys-
tens. Investors suffer heavy
losses on rotten securities. The
railroads suffer from impairment
of credit and inability to obtain
needed loans.

never closed it. We have los1
billions in money and have suf
fered incalculably in credit. We
are 50 years behind the times IN
the regulation of the fundamen'
tai condition of sound and eff
cient railroading.
Where should the control of
railroad finances rest?
Unquestionably the control of
the finances of interstate rail.
roads should rest with the Fed
eral Government. 1t is logical
corolla!y of rate regulation.
Rates are inevitably affected by
capitalization. Interest charges
on bonds must be met and divi,
dends on stock must be paid by
gong railroads. The alternat-
ives of prosperous financial con-
ditions are bankruptcies and re-
ceiverships. There is no middle
ground.
The states can control intra
state railroads, but are practi.
cally powerless to control inter-
state railroads. When we crea>
ted the Interstate Commerce
Commission and gave it power
to regulate rates and service we
conceded in effect the right of
the Federal Government to regu-
late the issues Of railroad bonds
and stocks which govern rates
and service. We have fai ed to
complete the system of regu-
latiOn.
Congress should empower the
Interstate: tOlAluisSiOn to regu
late railroad finances. Plans for
new railroads and extensions of
railroads should be submitted to
the Interstate Commission for
Proposals for bond
and stock issues, with full infor-
nation Ct ,he ponditions under
which they are to be issued and
the purposes for which the mon
ey is to be applied should be sub
mitted to the commission for ap-

interstate railroads should be is
sued without the commission 8
approval,
Effective and complete reguia
ton alone will protect investors
and public, protect and promote
legitimate railroad enterprise
and restore confidence in rail
road securities.
The inevitable consequence of
incomplete, as of no regulation,
is public ownership. We must
put an end to railroad Juggling,
looting, swindling and balloon

The American people were
very foolish, it seems. to build
the Panama Canal. Our Con.
gressman, Mr.. Hensley, who re-
Gently returned from a trip of
inspection of the canal, comes
back feeling very pessimistic
over the outlook that the enter
prise will ever earn enough to
repay it's cost, in fact, he serious
ly doubts whether it will even
pay operating expenses. Mr..
Hensley is. of couse, great au-
thority on canals, and his opin-
ion is great blow to our expec-
tations as to the early or even
ultimate utility of the big
ditch. His view completely re-
flutes the one expressed by an
eminent English civil engineer
the other day, who said that we
made the mistake not in build
ing the canal at all. but in not
building it bigger and making
a sea-level passage; that in ten
or fifteen years the traffic
through the canal will have out
grown its capacity. Too bad we
did not have Mr.. Hensley to
guide US clear of this project
when the French people let go
of it.
