SUIT At SALT LAKE
DEMANDS DISSOLUTION
Government Begins Suit For Sep
aration of Central and South
ern Pacific Lines

The suit of the United States
Government for dissolution of the
Southern and Central Pacific Railway
Companies, prepared by Attorney
General McReynolds under the Sher-
man antitrust law and which is in.
tended to divorce the transportation
systems that time and custom have
made a unit, was filed at Salt Lake
City on February IL.
1t is the expressed hope of the At
torney General, should the suit be
successful, that the Central Pacific
and its line to San Francisco may be
acquired by the Union Pacific, which
would thereby gain a through line
from Omaha to the Pacific Coast.
The Government asks that the nine
ty-nine year lease of the Cen.
tral Pacific lines by the Southern
Pacific be cancelled; that a perpetual
injunction against use or control of
these lines be issued, and that the
Central Pacific be permanently en-
joined from recognizing the Southern
Pacific as the owner of any Central
Pacific stock.
tits alleged that the roads are OPP
Grated under the same management;
that they discriminate in one an
others favor and against competitive
roads. and that the condition so Great
ed are in restraint of trade and con-
trary to the intent of the Sherman
law.
One of the most important of the
many charges enumerated is the
declaration that the Southern Pacific
adjusts its freight and passenger
rates in territory north of San Fran
cisco as to discriminate against the
Central Union Pacific eastward and
in favor of the so-called Sunset line,
owned by the Southern Pacific.
Through control of the South
ern Pacific" says the petition, the
Southern Pacific prevents joint traffic
or pro-rating arrangements between
the Central Pacific and Union Pa
cific."
The petition further alleges that
the joint rail and water service be-
tween the Pacific and Atlantic Coast,
via New Orleans and FL Paso. contrib
utes to the same results.
tits contended that there is viola
ton of the Pacific railroad laws which
Congress promulgated in early days
to secure a continuous line from the
Missouri river to the Pacific coast
with equal advantages to all roads.
A primary conclusion of the petition
is that the Central and Southern Pa
cific systems are naturally competi-
tive.
1t was pointed out that the lines
of the Central Pacific form a natural
through connection at Ogden for the
Union Pacific and that restoration
of competitive conditions would give
the Union Pacific through route for
trans-continental traffic, and for
traffic to the Orient, by steamship
connections at San Francisco. The
decree south, the petitions AYERS,
would restore competition to por-
tions of California. Arizona. New
Mexico, Texas and Louisiana.
1t is further set out, on informa-
ton and belief, that If the Central
Pacific were free to act in its own in
terest, it would build its own line
from Natron, Oregon, to Portland,
thus providing two competitive rail-
roads between San Francisco and
Portland in place OF the present sin
gle railroad.

Theophiie FRANCOIS, Belgian consui
In Detroit, and Emanuel Havenith,
Belgian minister to the United States,
are heading committee OF Detroit
citizens to raise funds to relieve the
restitution and misery of the nom
combatants In Belgium. A written
appeal has been issued to all citizens.
Charles B. Warren is chairman OF
the committee and other prominent
Detroiters whose names are allied
with the movement are: #. M. Alger,

G. A. Lightner, DR.. T. A. McGraw,
Phillip H, Mcmillan, George H. Rus

The appeal reads as follows:
Our appeal Is In no sense poll
teal We express no opinion as to
the merits. of the struggle now In
progress In Europe. We seek only
TO bring forcefully to your attention
that Belgium is today In state of
unreasonable .destitution and misery,

practically destroyed. Belgian indus

We cannot better indicate the sit

Their Fine Feature

'Baseba will in time become the universal field
sport of the world, through the boys says A. G.
Spalding, just back from Europe.
Spading was once boy and is still good deal Of
a baseball sport, and his predictions ought to hit
pretty close to the bullseye, but why confine the
coming 'suniversalities to baseball? whole lot OF
things that are going to be universal going to be
80 through what in the boys of the present day.
The great feature about the clean sports of day
is that they teach boys to be fair and to demand
square deal The boy who wins his game by illegti-
mate trick unfair advantage is not satisfied with
his victory, because it wasn't won his ability The
boys of sand lots, for instance have fierce base
ball football battles for sake of the glory there is
in victory, and they want victory that's tainted
with meanness unfairness, and it is really to
those same sand lots that you must go to witness
earnest not to say bloody contention for the inestim
able right of a square deal.
Do you think that boys imbued with the spirit of
the square deal will, when grown take the part Of
disinterested neuters when Rockefeller drives poor
women and children into canyon and turns rapid
fire guns upon them? Do you think that such boys
going to be backward about stamping out injus-
tice wherever it appears in any of its brutal forms
The men of today thinking of justice, fairness,
methods Of getting around to a common brotherhood.
1t is the boys of today who will perform and blessed
be baseball, football, SNOWFALL or any other clean
sport that universally promotes the love of fair play
and square deal!

inexpensive Vacations

What your plans for the summer? Are you
figuring going away to a summer resort or board
ing at some farm house in the country?
If you've never done this and can afford it, why,
60 to it. 1t will be change; and change is what
we all need.
But it isn't necessary to go to all that bother and
expense in order to have change There are lots Of
easier ways.
For instance painter in Atchson, Kas., last year
had complete change of his ordinary living arrange
ments without missing day at his work and he and
his wife well rested and had as much fun as
If they d been monaires with yacht tour of a
foreign country.
He owned horse and a spring wagon At slight
cost he rugged up kit containing small shelter tent,
some cooking tools and storage room for foods.
Near sunset when work over, his wife drove up,
he climbed into the wagon, they went to store for
few supplies and then into the country.
Coming to an attractive spot near a spring or
stream they stopped tehered the horse, put up the
tent, made fire, cooked supper, sat for hour
two around the camp fire like gypsies and then turn
Cd in to delicious unbroken sleep.
Up at daybreak, breakfast was like picnic spread
and the ride back to town lung-filler
Next evening, they went somewhere else. Thus
they had new experience every day.
Almost any plan which departs from routine
makes a useful vacation.

DRY" Editor:

wet" and DRY" Editor:
The history OF the effect Of
state wide prohibition is that IL
benefits every man, woman and
child.
About ninety per cent OF the
money formerly spent for liquor
goes into legitimate channels of
trade creating a greater demand
for groceries, provisions, farm
products, shoes, clothing, furni-
ture, dry goods, hardware, etc.
Building activities create de-
mand for real estate, building
supplies and all skilled labor.
Bank deposits increase, collie
ctions improve, credits are less
hazardous. Idiocy, want, pau
perism, divorces and all crimes
are reduced, which reduces the
cost of government with a cor
responding reduction in taxes.
Desiring to promote the best
interests of all and wanting to
free the people from degrading,
disease and crimc-producing er-
fects of intoxicating liquors, and
give those blighted by liquor
chance to enjoy prosperity and
happiness, l cannot do otherwise
than support statewide prohibit
ton.
