Esch act the people must pay the
railroads bill. Extravagant con-
tracts are, therefore, direct tax on
the commerce of the nation.
"This policy of granting fat con-
tracts to concerns controlled by in
siders' is not new one with the
Pennsylvania, as Mr.. Atterbury
knows. In fact, the conduct of the
company has been so scandalous in
this particular that the interstate
commerce commission some years ago,
was compelled to conduct an inves-
tigation which developed amazing
graft. At that time the officials re
sponsible were robbing the stockhold-
ers.
A return to the old practices now
would not necessarily affect the
stockholders dividends, because these
dividends are practically guaranteed
under the Cunmins- Esch act. which
directs the interstate commerce com
mission to fix freight and passenger
rates high enough to meet all the
expense Of the railroads and leave a
sufficient surplus to pay 51a or 6 per
cent on the investment.
"Such practices would, however, en-
able the directors Of the Pennsylvania,
who are interested in Baldwin's and
other benefciaries of the cost-plus
contracts, to milk the public. .

publications, calls on the public not
to be fooled by present price reduc-
tons
"The battle between the public and
the profiteer is far from over" says
this paper.
There is no commodity which is
reeded by people in which the most
stupendous fortunes have not been
made in the last few years, in every
country. Prices have been kept up,
in spite of increased crops and clips,
ard what not, because comparatively
few men have deliberately held up
supplies, paying interest on the
money with which they bought them
rather than let them come on to a
market that might be called open.
Now they find the burden of interest
rather heavy, and they are letting the
stocks loose a little But do not i'm
agine that they nave abandoned con-
troll of the markets. They have not.
They are waiting for the moment
hen they will be able to force prices
UP again.
There is hardly such thing as a
free market in anything nowadays,
half of the so-ealled competitors
often being merely branches of the
same big combine"

Evidence now in the possession of
