The Question of Rates

is inconcevabe that certain individuals should seek
to create prejudice against the L. N simply because
the L. N exercises its right citizen to appeal to
duly constituted court of justice TO adjust the question of
lie courts of justice were created by the people and
rantaned by the people for such purposes Where
question Of property rights is involved, and satsfac
tory agreement not be arrived at there is other
alternative IL invoke the majesty of the law
Judicial opinion after careful non-partsan review of
the facts.
ANY other is in violation of the letter and spirit
of the law, and borders anarchy
When the L. & NJ in spite of its best efforts so un-
fortunate do injury life property it makes every
effort to arrive at satisfactory adjustment. Failing in
this effort the injured party makes appeal to court of
law to fair and reasonable damages The L. N.
reazes the right Of appeal to law, and has failed
to abide final decision of the law.
The officials of the L. & ~ do not therefore concede
that large percentage of the thoughtful people of Ala
hanna condemn the L. n for exercising its right ap
peal to duly constituted court of law.
The L. n is engaged in the operation of a railroad in
which large number of stockholders Interested 1t
is public service corporation and such the general
public is interested The officials of the L. Nreaize
that the stockholders entitled to fair and just
turn the invested The officials realize that the
people who supply producing traffic to the L. N
are entitled to good service at reasonable rates.
On the hand the sockholder has invested his money
in stock the other hand the shipper passenger has
Invested his money in transportation
Between these two stand the officials of the l. & N,
exertng every effort to safeguard and promote the in
teress of EACH for each dependent the weare
of the other
The sockholder does not desire and shall not demand
than fair return his investment. The law pro-
vides for that.
The investor in transportation service should not de-
mand than that to which his investment entities
him. The law provides for that
In all fairness is it right that certain influences should
seek to create prejudice against the L. & NJ?

Not Lifted

lNNllLb lhhpo iahhphb Nihs'l
Seattle, Wash, Jan. 30,-J. e. Chill
berg, president of the chamber of COM
merce here today, after trip to San
Francisco, announces that 50 far no
assurance could be obtained that the
embargo on lumber from mills in the
northwest would be lifted, except in
the case of lumber for use in the Pan
ama-Pacifc exposition. He said that
in the conference in the south be-
tween himself c. B. Yandel, secretary
of the chamber, and p. II, Mccarthy
of San Francisco, representing the
Building Trades, it was agreed that
lumber will be accepted from any
mill for use in the fair grounds. But
so far as other projects are concerned,
the embargo is still on lumber from
mills which are not unlonized. The
situation will be discussed tonight at
a meeting of the lumbermen's associa-
tion at Tacoma.

WOULD COMPEL
CORPORATIONS TO DISSOLVE

Among the several bills introduced
in the house yesterday by Representa-
tive Mitchell at the request of Secre-
tary of State Olcott, was one which
would compel a corporation to dis
solve when six months delinquent, in
stead of two years, as at present, The
bill also limits the time in which a
corporation may be re-instated, to two
years. There are always many cor
porations in the secretary Of states
books that have failed in business or
never completed their organization
and desire to be dissolved, but by the
present law they cannot be eliminated
from the records for two years delin-
Quent The necessity for the amend
ment as pointed out by Secretary Oh
colt, Is shown by the hundreds Of
names on the books that cannot be
used by new corporations because the
dissolved or delinquent corporations
may be rcnstatcd at any time
