RAILWAY "INEFFICIENCY.-

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion IL holding hearings in regard TO
the relations OF the railways Of New
England Ia their connections through
out the nation. All are In poor
finances. and the question is how TO
divide the rates for the total service in
n name TO give larger income 20
those whose earnings most need in
crease. Yesterday was published the
testimony of a former Interstate Com
missioner and Federal Judge con
demning the railways for their pow
erty. He attributed e 10 the inef-
ilclcncy Of their officers. Hc testified
that they were lacking I'm virlllty. in
%genuity and elasticity" and their AR
rogance had aroused the hostility Of
tho public ps well as Of their en-
ployes.''
Such criticism from n responsible
source might well have been accom-
panied by a hint of it's basis. AZ IL
stands. II Is n mere opinion AT variance
with the facts available to the public.
The hearing itself shows that the rail
ways are not free agents. The rcgu-
lators fix the rates railways may
charge and the wages they must pay.
Judge Anderson asserts that the rail
ways provoked the shopmcn's
strike. although tho public information
les that the men struck against the re-
duction of their wages by tho Labor
Board-that is. against an agency %
the government rather than against
their employers. However tho strike
WAS provoked. n strikers lost 10 he
cause public opinion supported the
Labor Board rather than the unions.
II would be interesting to know bv
what standard this Judge tried the
railways. They are surprising their
own previous standards Of work done
because they nave spent billions IN
providing themselves with facilities

fallen, and they have deprived them.

AGAIN THE HUGE TRUSTS.

Fol awhile that form Of combination
In restraint Of trade known as trusts
was eliminated from the big business
Of the country. Trusts werc declared
n violation OF the Sherman Antitrust
and some OF the largest ones
were compelled to dissolve into their
constituent parts.
Bu, a recen decision by Attorney
General Daughcrty seems TO have
opened the door to mergers OF great
business corporations with results tina,
are very much akin. to the general
mind. to the full-fiedged rusts Of the
past. The Steel Corporation has been
permitted to make a merger with an
other concern. and the great Armour
Packing Co. with a special grant Of
authority under the very liberal In
CORPORATION law of our State. is to in
crease its capital 10 sl6s, 200. 900. the
main purpose OF which. according TO
general understanding. is TO pave the
way TO a merger with another large
concern in the same line of business.
Thus. under Republican administra-
ton. the country has returned 10 the
high protective tariff, with its in
evitable increase in the cost of living;
Il has opened the doors of the Capitol
at Washington TO the r~apacious lobby,
driven out completely during the VIII
son administrations; and nov 1t SEEM
TO have opened the doors 70 the forma-
ton of great trusts.
Which naturally raises the question

the park proposition, we were enter
tanned as guests Of the State and
given every opportunity for viewing
the park. State Engineer Scovel
johnson accompa anied US over the
newly constructed "Needles Road to
Sylvan Lake. This road is an engi-
neering feat of no small attainment
and shows what can be done in the
use Of high explosies for road con-
struction by the trained engineer.
Sylvan Lake is real gem, located
in the top of one of the highest of
the Hills and huge rocks and forest
trees. On the following day we were
accompanied by State Game Keeper
Gideon for an inspection of the site
of a proposed state geological exhi-
bition Custer State Park at the
present time contains excellent herds
of elk, mule deer and bison and it is
proposed to make further additions
Of native animals and birds, display
ed in their natural habitats.
From Custer State Park we drove
directly to Denver through Wind Cave
National Park and Cheyenne, Wyo-
ming. We arrived in Denver on Oc-
tober Is and were taken on tours of
the city parks by the city park Off
cials and landscape men. On Sat
urday we were rendered a luncheon
at the Association Of Commerce by
the city park and forestry officials and
on Sunday, through the courtesy Of
Mr.. S. r. DcBoer, landscape architect,
a party Of forestry and park officials,
with their families, accompanied US
on a tour of Denvri's mountain park
system. Brief stops were made at
Buffalo Bills grave, Gcnesce Noun
tain and Bergen park. We then
drove to SquaW Mountain where some
Of the men in the party climbed to the
top of SQuaw Mountain and from a
narrow rock ledge, at an elevation Of
over II 900 feet, secured an excellent
view of the surrounding territory, in
cluding Mt. Evans, one of the highest
peaks in the vicinity of Denver. Re

Of Bear Creek Canyon.

Editor Ward County Independent:
Our party left Minot on October S
for the purpose of making investi-
cations of certain questions involv-
ing the recreational uses Of our Ma
tional Forests and our National Parks
and of other questions of interest to
the readers of our magazine and to
the members Of the American lnsti-
tute of Park Executives.
We decided to make the trip in a
Ford roadster with specially equip
ped addition for the purpose of trans
porting our equipment. So far we
have had very little trouble in MAX
ing the trip, even over the decidedly
poor roads of New Mexico and Ari-
Zona. We have camped during the
entire trip and up to yesterday, when
we ran into an unexpected wind and
snow storm, we have experienced very
little Inconvenience.
On leaving Minot our first destina-
ton was Custer State park, in the
Black Hills of South Dakota. This
is a 10000 acre tract Of the best
scenic properties of the Black Hills
and was recently set aside by South
Dakota as state park, both as a
means of preserving it's scenic feat
ures and the fish and game of the
state.
We made the trip by way of Bis
marck and on Sunday, October 8, we
visited the mining towns of Deadwood
and Lead.
We reached Custer State Park on
the following day and through the
