to his home a badly beaten man, but
returned a short time later armed with

Capita1 Comment
BY CLYDE II. TAvENNER
Congressman from ths Fourteenth District

with the interstate commerce commits
sion TO have the five per cent increase
! in railroad freight rates granted
Some of the wiseacres studying the
presidents trust message read HIS
comment on the. intimate connection
between railroad and general prosper
ity and. knowing that there has been
considerable influence brought to
bear on Mr.. Wilson to have him sane
tion the rate Increase, made the de
duction that he has yielded.
The fact is that this rumor, like
its predecessor. is absolutely false
The president has no intention of in
terfering in any way with the commits
sion. I cannot honorably reveal my
sons attitude. but the above assertion
is the exact truth.
A number of democrats, and infu-
entail democrats. regret to say,
have been to see Mr. Wilson and have
urged him to take a stand in favor
of the increased rates. But these men
put political expediency before patriot
&c craftsmanship. Their argument Is
that. whether increased rates are JUS
titled or not. to grant them will be
to bring about a business boom which
the democratic party in the campaign
next fall could attribute to the tariff
and currency.
But Woodrow Wilson Is not that
kind of a statesman. He has told his
callers plainly that his legislation must
stand on it's own merits. AS for the
railroads. they must Justify their re-
quest for increased rates before the
commission If they are to have their
request granted. There will be no
executive interference.
The presidents position Is simply
this: II the facts are as the railroads
claim. then the increased rates should
be granted; but IL the investigation
shows that increased rates are neces-
sary simply to pay dividends on wa
tered stock, there is no justification
for the increases. 1t is a question of
fact for the commission.
Another bit OF moonshine Is the story
that If the railroads accept the presi-
dents program of having the commits
sion regulate railroad finances, he, in
will intercede for the increased
rates.
Rock Island Argus., 1914-01-26

They see that the tariff and currency
laws have not paralyzed the nation and
now they are trying TO whoop up the
stock market and inaugurate a bust
ness boom.
II this gossip were confined to
Washington il would do no particular
harm. But unfortunately it is picked
up by the newspapers and scattered
throughout the country. The result
is that the people who elected Presi-
dent Wilson to end the economic in
justices which they have suffered and
are suffering. are likely TO have the
feeling that they have been deserted.
In line with this sort of idle gos-
sip were the recent newspaper articles
that there would be no trust legisla-
tion during the present session. This
rumor was quite generally credited
here. for il arose when President VIII
son was out OF the city. When he
returned the correspondents who had
telegraphed this news" were ruefully
compelled to acknowledge that they
were mistaken.
There is now another rumor of the
same sort going the rounds. II is that
the president will use his influence

UNSCRAMBLING SCRAM-

Mr.. wilson's message is the

that you can't unscramble eggs"

been unscrambled. The eggs
could never have been unscram-
bled by a president who fried
campaign fat out OF Wall street
% and talked about the great Nor

have been unscramb.ed by a presi-
dent whose party organization

They never could have been IN
scrambled by a demagogue intent
on keeping the issues alive for his
own political aggrandisement.
Buc they can be unscrambled BY
a president who is honest, Just,
intelligent and sincere, and Is
seeking only 20 promote the pub
lie welfare. This is a great lesson
that Woodrow Wilson has taught
the country. Wall street itself
responds TO the program OF such
