THE NEW FEUDALISM.

The old feudalism was an almost per-
feet system of slavery compared to
the new. There is nothing more harass-
ing than an imperfect system of slav.
cry. A perfect system Of slavery has
certain guarantees in regard to life,
liberty and the pursuit of unhappiness.
But an imperfect system of slavery
is short of guarantees of any kind.
Under the old feudalism the landlord
was the boss of everything. He owned
all the land, the houses on the land,
the coal in the houses and the people
that used the coal. In return for your
allegiance to his special League of
Freebooters he saw that you got all
the necessaries of life free-gratis.
The new feudalism is rather loose.
The landlord takes all you have, and
guarantees nothing in return except
eviction in case you do not hand over
to him all your wages. His domain is
a block Of tenements or apartments.
He not only does not guarantee you
coal, but he will not even give you the
heat that comes from it.
You have no rights that he is bound
to respect. He holds your life, liberty
and the very pursuit of roof in fief.
The palmy days Of the liege-lord are
gone forever. The decadent, oppres.
sive, starvation days Of the landlord
have taken their place.
The motto Of the new feudalism is,
Pay or you 60. life.

THE TERMINAL SITUATION
SERIOUSLY HAMPERS CITY
Tunnel Rices and Connors Points Proposed as Proper First
Step in Solving Problem-Such Improvement Should
Be Adequate for All Kinds of transportation

have been increased and will be aug.
mented still more by further delay.
Those who shrug their shoulders and
say the cost is prohibitive, either are
against the project or have given it
no consideration. The channel here is
not as wide as the st. Clair river at
Port Huron, where the Grand Trunk
Railway company alone built tunnel
with long and easy approaches. It is
rot as wide as the Detroit river at
Detroit, where the Michigan Central
system built its own tunnel not so
many years ago. Consider this and
then consider the interests benefited
by a tunnel at Rice's Point. Would
not the War Department in the inter
ests Of navigation be directly inter
estedi The Lake Carriers associa-
tion would be vitality interested. The
states of Minnesota and Wisconsin,
the cities Of Duluth and Superior, the
street railway company, wheel traffic
Of all kinds and the public.
The tunnel to be built also should
be adequate for all railroad traffic,
street railway traffic, team and motor
traffic and for pedestrians. And it
should be free for all. Away with
the Anticipated and obsolete toll gatel
It is as much out Of place between
Duluth and Superior as a cattle guard
on Limousine.
Probably no railroad that did not
so desire could be compelled to use
the tunnel. All right. The roads that
pay tribute for coming in would be
glad to use it. And think of the ad-
vantages they would enjoy over the
roads that continued to use the
bridges. All delays and distractions
from navigation gone forever; also all
the uncertainty regarding the length
of time required for a street car trip
to and from Superior would be re-
moved. The pleasures of motoring in
Duluth for Superior people and in Su-
perior for Duluth people would be
freed from the repressive toll.
1t was told few years ago that
railroad company, which has no term
inals in Duluth, paid to another COM
pany nearly a million dollars in one
year for the use of its tracks within
the city. If the statement were even
remotely correct, that outside company
could almost afford to build the tun-
mel itself.
But the privilege of using the tun-
mel would not give railroad complete
terminal facilities. No, but the tun-
mel would be the main entrance and
would be controlled by the cities of
Duluth and Superior and would give
them a powerful leverage in regulat-
ing the conduct of the roads within
the cities. The fact that such tun-
mel would be under municipal control
indicates why railroad interests oppose
it and why it has been so difficult to
create any enthusiasm for the project.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1920-01-24

Reading the speeches delivered at
the over-the-top banquet last week, at
tention is arrested by the statements
of Mr.. Craig regarding the control
sought to be exercised by the city
over terminal privileges granted to
railroads, and the eventual loss of such
control until, today, these companies
hold the conditional rights granted to
them by the city absolutely and with
out restriction.
A strange thing is the apathy Of
the people in regard to situation Of
this kind. How was it brought about
Were the restrictions not properly Sc.
cured by legal formalitiesf Are the
gentlemen who served as city attor.
neys and advisors of the city councils,
when these various franchises were
granted, willing to allow the natural
presumption to prevail that the inten-
tions Of the peoples representatives
were not properly translated into legal
covenantsf If they were properly
safeguarded in this way, by whose
jugglery was their validity destroyed,
and who slept at the switchf
Of course the powerful influence
which the railroads always have exer-
cised in the political affairs of Duluth
is pretty generally understood. This
last statement may be too inclusive,
but it is often the fate of the limo
cent to suffer with the guilty. But
not a word of publicity is given these
serious happenings, these losses Of the
peoples rights. They got away from
us or were taken away from US, just
as the Zenith telephone was taken
away from US, and it isn't considered
worth while even to inquire how.
Well, the mills of the gods grind
slowly, but they're beginning to make
more noise.
1t appears that the city is seriously
handicapped in planning for municipal
terminals by the fact that the railroad
companies hold Independent control Of
the privileges they use. There is a
way, however, by which the city can,
literally as well as figuratively, take
large part of the ground from under
the feet of these railroad tricksters,
and that is by constructing a tunnel
between Rice's and Connor's Points.
This is no new proposition; its de-
STABILITY was advocated many years
ago, but the same hostile influences
which spirited away other rights Of
the people put the silencer on any
suggestions for tunnel, just as they
have on other propositions that threat
ened to weaken their throttle-grasp on
the city.
A tunnel under the channel at Rice g
Point is properly the first step in the
establishment Of municipal terminals.
By delaying so long, the difficulties
and expense Of constructing a tunnel

that for eight years he never once
