Seeing the Real Issue

The call issued by the Moberly
Commercial Club for a meeting Of
delegates from various commercial
clubs Of the state to discuss the rail-
way situation in Missouri shows a real
ization Of the real issue. It is not a
question Of justice or charity to stock
holders OF the railways. 1t is a ques-
iion Of the vital interests Of the state
Of Missouri. The call sets out the
fact that over one fourth Of the railway
mileage in this state is owned by
corporation now in the hands OF
receivers and that other receiver
ships are imminent unless there is
an unexpected increase in business
or relief in the matter Of rates. It is
natural that Moberly, railway center,
should take the lead in the agitation
for a better understanding Of actual
conditions. 1t is stated that there are
5000 crippled cars at that division
point, which cannot be prepared be-
cause there is no money TO pay for
the work. Such conditions cannot
continue long without decentralization if
not actual paralysis Of the transportation
system OF the state.
Such conference as the Moberly
Commercial Club has called is little
belated. II it had been held while
the General Assembly was in session
it might have accomplished much
good, for there is every reason to be-
ieve that some Of the opponents Of
authorization Of increase Of railway
rates thought that they were support
ing the wishes Of the voters. 1t will
be recalled that there was caucus Of
farmer members against the bill
But the farmers Of Randolph
County have taken action which shows
that they realize how vitality interested
they are in the preservation Of the
transportation system Of the state.
Tie farmers Of other secrions, if they
studied the situation, would take
the same position, which is one OF
enlightened self interest.
Just what the conference will do will
depend on the sentiment Of the dele
gates, In view OF the judicial lunc-
tions of the Public Service commission
it would be improper 10 memorialize
it. But the conference may do good
il impressing weakkneed politicians
that the bone and sinew Of Missouri
demand fair and equitable treatment
Of the railways. Already candidates
are out on railroad batting platforms.
II majority OF the commercial clubs
send delegates 10 the conference and
the conference should administer a
ringing rebukc of the activity Of dema-
gogic candidates, it might prove
beneficial. Globe Democrat.

The Matter with Business

Senator Weeks OF Massachusetts in
his address TO the members conference
of the Business Mems League, at their
weekly luncheon yesterday, presented
little that was wholly new to his
hearers, but he has happy way Of
stating facts that is eloquent without
rhetoric and impressive without ad'
iectives, and it is safe to say that the
great majority Of his auditors who
went to the luncheon with beliefs
came away with convictions. He
spoke 10 answer to the question,
What it the matter with business2
and while he did not attempt 10 pre-
sent all the Influences that have con-
tributed to the present stagnation in
the midst Of Of plenty, he dwelt at
length upon that one which has un'
doubtedlv the largest share, next 10
the tariff, in producing that cond.-
ton, namely, the harassment OF busi'
ness by government regulation.
The senator pointed to the ever
increasing numbes OF statutory whips
that ate being cracked over the heads
OF business men, to the growing num-
Der Of commissions that are being
given power TO regulate business, and
\ the certain usurpation Of further
! Covers by each commission beyond
that authorized by law. He gave
numerous examples Of the economic
lIlsstaafciency OF business III government
hands, and Of the disastrous conse
quences Of unnecessary government
interference in the conduct OF private
business, citing the new Federal Trade
Commission as the supreme example
Of such folly. There can be DO doub
that legislation Of this character ha:
reached point where it is far create,
evil TO the country as whole than the
commercial sins which it was originally
sought to punish.
From the first laws to prevent un
} fair combinations, and which were ap
pied only to dishonest men and dis

NENANA COAL |S
 HIGH GRADE L|GN|TE
Telegrapher Believes Coal Deposits Extend from Matanuska Fields
 to the Tanana Valley.

Fairbanks, Oct. 14.-Surveyor w. H. Thorn, who has spent the sum- mer surveying the Nenana coal fields left on the stage yesterday for Chiti- na en route to Washington to make his return to the department of the interior.
 He states that during the summer nine hundred square miles of coal lands in the Nenana district were sur veyed and that the work has only commenced. He believes that two more years will be required to com plete the work as the coal area is very extensive.
 MT. Thorn declares that he has never seen such high grade Ignite coal as the Nenana district contains and believes with Dr. Brooks that the coal field extends from the Matanus- ka coal fields to the Tanana valley, and is encouraging the scheme to drill for it at Fairbanks. He has ex- pressed the belief that the Nanana coal fields will yield the cheapest fuel in America, owing to the enor- nous thickness of the deposits and the character of country rock which would require but little timbering in mining.
