For several years the railroad COM.
panies have been yictimized In one
step after another In labor adjust
ments and to keep, the roads from
going broke, the rates had to be adj
justed upward. and now it has be-
come almost prohibitive to ship any
thing, over the roads. If you buy a
ton of coal now, you pay from $40 to
s12 and the high freight is based on
the high wages brought about by the
determination to Take it out of the
railroad company" If you want to
ship farm produce you find the
freight rate so high you cannot ship
much of it, so you keep it at home
and perhaps see it spoil. With oranges
not worth picking in California, we
are charged from 80 cents to 80 cents
a dozen for them in Idaho, and high
freight is given as the reason. If we
go on seeking it to the railroads in
tax matters and all other matters, we
shall soon find freight rates prohibit

of property rights will result in the
loss. of property and then the loss of

We have started in on process of

been confiscating railroad property
and cultivating public opinion and
the customs of public officials in the
direction of making it customary and
of having it done in disregard of the
law as has been shown in the cases
of some school districts we told you
about in previous chapters, and we
have had to call in the level-headed |
men to talk to the school trustees
and county superintendent of schools
in some districts lying along the rail-
road, to stop the conflscation via the
tax process. We have had to appeal
to the courts to stop the confiscation
of bank investments and to stop
lot of stupid assessors from continu-
ing the practice and from defending
it on the silly ground that it was
customary. Wherever this custom
ary' business gets in and operates in
confiscation practices, it is under
