1922 Mem Ynrk A renMs


WASHINGTON, June 16.-After
more than half century the secret
story of who got the 10000, 000-acre
empire granted the Northern Pacific
Railroad Is being told in Washing
ton.
D. F. MCGOWAN, Government at
torney, was en- the witness stand
before the congressional Investigate
ing committee, alleged public lands
manipulations to make public rec
ords kept private by Northern Pa
cific Officials since 1864.
MCGOWAN gained access to the rec
ords by order Of the committee.
When completely presented they will
show that railroad promoters made
more than $4OO, 900, 900 from the land,
the attorney alleged.
From the inception of the thing
there has been a constant violation
of the law" he told the committee.
Under the act by which the en-
pire was turned over to the pro-
moters at close of the Civil War,
So 900, 900 for development was sup
posed to be raised by the incorpo-
raters. The records, MCGOWAN al
legged, shows only 100000 was raised
and forced a grave doubt that even
this represented real money.
For 100000 end recognition OF
$500, 900 in outstanding stock, Josiah
Perham, father of the road. turned
the empire over to a group OF
friends few years after receiving
it, MCGOWAN testified. The twenty
four original subscribers shared iii
this money, according to the attor-
ney.
Real manipulation of the land be-
gan after this transfer, he asserted.

Our yearly levy is from $50, 900

IF we took the whole contingent

casting as medium for entertain
ment and education. 1t is from COM
mercial broadcasting that there has
sprung the beginning Of a new art
which in future years may place
radio broadcasting upon the same
high plane as literature and the
stage.
And yet it isn't as strange as It
may seem at first thought. Let's
get back moment to the subject of
the development OF our present-day
literature-for we must keep very
clearly in mind the fact that radio
broadcasting has much in common
with and must parallel in broad,
general sort Of way, the literary
trend. Someone a few years ago
made the profound observation that
the true American literature is the
short story. That being true, the
magazine and the newspaper are the
most important media of our typical
American literature. We must adj
NIT, then, that industry big business
call it what you will-has created
the vehicles for the development Of
our present American literature.
Some Of the magazine and newspa-
per publishing concerns are among
the most gigantic OF American in
dustrial enterprises. Also, they are I
supported by a vast advertising rev
enue that comes from thousands of |
other huge industrial organizations. |
Big business saw in the newspaper
and the magazine the media for ex-
banding and making more profitable |
Its own enterprises. Big business |
realized that what has come to pass
was certain to come to pass
which is that everyday readers |
of magazines and newspapers, though |
they may be interested chiefly in |
whatever of literary enlightenment |
