THE RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLE
"There ro three system on which rail
ways may b managed: They may be left
Uncontrolled, each company acting toward
the public Interest, an (terms bent for Its
end, with practically llttls Interference by
the state on behalf of the public, as In the
t'nlted Blates, or they may be conducted
for private benefit, but subject to a modified
control, an they are In Great Britain, or
they may lie, as they are to a great extent,
on the continent of Europe, In India and in
the Jlrltlnh colonies, owned wholly or par
tially by the state, controlled and conducted
with a view to the public Interest solely. In
other words, they mnv be either entirely
nubject to competition, which Is Impossi
ble; to regulated monopoly, which Is In
adequate, or to state ownership, which will
be the ultimate outcome."
This clear-cut presentment by James II.
Hole, In his work on "The Nationalization
of Hallways," Is the kernel of the moment
ous Issue with which the American people
are confronted.
The railway has become the great high
way of nations. It Is a function of gov
ernment to control. If not to own all pub
lic highways. The arbitrary exercise of
sovereign power delegnted to them by the
people through their charters places within,
their grasp the unbridled reins of govern
ment. In their very nature railroads are
monopolies. Uncontrolled and unrestrained
In their exactions, they levy tribute upon
the producer and consumer. The calm,
dispassionate side of the railroad question
ts It now confronts the American people
aisclosee these staggering facts. Blx
groups of American railroad magnates con
trol and operate 180.000 of the 210.000 miles
it railrond within the United States, and
the acquisition by the same six groups of
railway autocrats of the remaining 30,000
miles of railway is progressing so rapidly
that It Is almost a foregone conclusion
that all but a few thousand miles of unim
portant railway, will be under their con
trol and management within the next de
md. The six great railway systems that
now enjoy a practical monopoly of the
rast traffic In these United States are
sapltallmed for more than $1.?,0(0,000,000.
The roads not yet acquired by them are
tapltnllBtd for about $2,000,000,000. Of this
!&pltalltalon 6,5O0,O00,0OO represents the
onded debt and $7,600,000,000 the stocks
Lt a most conservative estimate $3,600,000,
00 Is unadulterated water.
A Few Pertinent Questions.
Are the people of the United States at
' :hls time In position to assume ft bonded
lobt. which Is equal to six and a half times
ur present national debt? By what process
irtll they wind out the water injected Into
their bonded capitalization, . us well as
nto their stocks? Are we, moreover, at
.hit time prepared to assume the control
ver the transportation of this country
;hat would Involve the employment of
'.,300,000 men 7 Have we not assumed about
ill the burden the country can bear In
mdortaklng the construction of the
Manama canalT These questions force
hemselvcs upon every thoughful Amerl-an.
Supervision or Government
Ownership
Lost of Series of Timely Articles Written by Edward
RosewQler, Editor of The Bee, on Different
Phases of the Pending Kailroad Problem
While government ownership jof the
arteries through which the commercial and
Industrial life blood of the nation flows
IB inevitable before the end of the twentieth
century, existing conditions and limitations
would make government ownership of rail
roads an extra hazardous experiment.
Next to government ownership the na
tionalization of railroads and their super
vision and control by governmental
authority Is considered by all who are not
beneficiaries of the present system to be
the most rational solution of the railway
problem. How to proceed without unneces
sarily interfering with the development and
operation of these great commercial
agencies, and what legislation shall be en
acted to curb the power and greed of these
colossal aggregations of capital, and, above
all, how to Insure for the patrons of the
railroads fair treatment and equal op
portunity will tax the most profound wis
dom of our ablest statesmen.
President Strikes Keynote.
President Roosevelt has struck the key
note of the railroad problem In his mes
sage to congress in December, when he de
clared: "The rebato, the secret contract,
the private discrimination, must go. The
highways of commerce must be kept open
to all on equal terms." In support of this
broad declaration President Roosevelt has
mode specific recommendation that the In
terstate Commerce commission be vested
with power, where a given rate has been
challenged and- found to be unreasonable, to
decide, subject to judicial review, what
rate shall take Ha place, with authority
to put that rate Into effect Immediately
after It had made Its decision, and to keep
It in effect until it shall have been pro
nounced unreasonable by a court of com
petent jurisdiction. ,
Acting upon the president's recommenda
tion, the lower house of congress passed a
bill last winter which embodied substan
tially the features that were regarded as
vital to effective railway supervision and
regulation. Owing to Its passage less than
a month before the close of the session,
this bill failed to receive consideration by
the senate and protracted discussion of
Its merits and demerits is now in progress
before the United States senate committee
on interstate commerce.
As was the case prior to the enactment
of the Interstate commerce law, the most
eminent railway attorneys and the most
plausible railway presidents have argued
and pleaded against the proposed enlarge
ment of the powers of the Interstate Com
merce commission, and congressmen, lead
ers of all parties and leading newspapers
are being flooded with railroad literature
to Impress them with the enormity of the
legislation asked for by the national com
mission and recommended by President
Roosevelt.
View of Railroad Official.
In an address recently delivered before
the Traffic club of i'lttnburg, that Is being
widely circulated, Samuel Spencer, presi
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, de
clares that: "Such enactments would not
be regulation. They would meun Incipient,
If not final, control of the sources of reveune
of all the carriers. The effect of such
regulation undoubtedly would be the cur
tailment of future railway construction and
Improvement, not only by reason of the
Impairment of railway credit, but also from
the unwillingness of Investors to own or to
enlarge properties, the revenues of which
would be practically under govern
mental or political control.
"Under such legislation the functions of
railway managers in adjusting rates to
meet commercial conditions and In extend
ing the sphere of usefulness of the trans
portation system of the country would step
by step come to an end. Slowly, but
steadily paralysis would creep Into the
Industrial arteries through which the blood
of commerce flows and the transportation
system would gradually become numb and
rigid. The present activities of railway
managers would be eliminated as an agency
In the Intelligent development of the re
sources of the country.
"Rates would soon be machine-made only
and commercial and industrial centers, now
acknowledging no bounds for the ultimate
distribution of their products, would find
themselves operating In narrower and nar
rower sones, finally circumscribed by gov
ernmental edicts as to where their wares
should go. And last, but not least. Inno
cent Investors would have their property
Jeopardized and their rights infringed and
1,300,000 employes would have their wages
reduced,"
Claim Rates Not Tax on Public.
To clinch the argument against nutlonnl
supervision and regulation the same rail
way president declares that "Railway
charges are not, as has been sometimes
erroneously asserted', a tax upon the pub
llo or upon the Individuals by Industries
or commerce served by carriers. A tax Is
a levy placed upon all for the support of
the government and from the payment
of which no citizen Is or should be ex
empted. The railway charge Is paid only
by those who voluntarily use the facilities
which have been provided at tho cost of
others."
This Is the most specious plea of all. The
entire area of the United States has been
covered by the railroads with blanket mort
gages In the hapu of bonds aggregating
$0,&'JO,000,000. The Interest on these bonds
constitutes the fixed charges which In
every Instance are exacted from railway
patrons In addition to the cost of opera
tion and maintenance. They constitute a
tax upon all the live Mock, grain, fruit,
vegetables and products of the farm
orchard and ranch transported to market
by rail. They are a tux upon the product
of every mill and factory, upon every com
modity and article consumed by the people
on the farm, In the village, town and city.
This tax Is paid by all men, women and
children, consciously or unconsciously, and
la always collected before the goods are
delivered or the service rendered.
Contention Merely m Scarecrow,
The contention that conferring the
rate making power upon the national com
mission would paralyze the railroads and
ruin tho Investors, Is merely a scarecrow.
The rate making power has been declared
by the supreme court of the United States
to be a legislative function and not an ad
ministrative or Judicial function. The rate
making power has been exercised by the
legislatures of most of the states, either
directly or indirectly, through railroad
commissions empowered to establish maxi
mum rates or to require railroads to dis
continue rates that are considered unrea
sonable. The right of state legislatures and state
railway commissions to exercise this func
tion was affirmed by the supreme court of
the United States in the "Granger" cases,
where the Issue was squarely made as to
whether the legislature had the power to
supervise railroads and regulate railroad
rates, and whether It was authorized to
delegate this power to another body. If
the legislatures of the states have the
right to exercise the function of regulation,
and if, moreover, they have the tight to
delegate the power to a subordinate body,
there can be no question that the same
power is vested in congress with regard
to national railway regulation.
As a matter of fact. It has been exercised
by congress In the passage of the Inter
state commerce law and even extended
beyond the domain of publlo carriers Into
the Industrial domain monopolized by the
trusts, through the enactment of the Sher
man anti-trust law. The over-shadowing
Issue before the coming congress and for
the next few years, at least, will be the
railway regulation and supervision. Should
congress fall to grapple with this Issue
successfully, the American people will be
compelled to array themselves in favor of
government ownership, however much risk
and however many sacrifices It will In
volve, E. ROSBWATER.
About Plays, Players and Playhouses
Summer haw made little difference in
Omaha, unless It be that the theaters are
running more steadily than they did during
Ihe winter. The cool nights have been very
tnuch In favor of the Indoor attractions and
the Boyd and the Krug have been quite
buBy in consequence. The Lilliputians at
the Krug did not receive tha patronage the
quality of the offerings merited. This com
pany of little folks has real merit, besides
being ft distinct novelty in Its way, and
those who did visit the theater during their,
engagement were, well entertained. At the
Boyd the Ferris Stock company" Is still
drawing crowds at each performance and
Is pleasing the patrons. The offerings dur
ing the last week were hardly such as ap
peal to the popular taste. "Du Barry" was
a heavy, almost soggy, pleoo, lacking in the
essentials of dramatic force and apparently
devoid of purpose, seeing that it begins and
ends no place, distorting history without
affording a reasonable excuse. The Oulda
story told for the latter half of the week
has the merit of coherence and probability,
even If it does present a series of pictures
locally Incomprehensible because of the
difference in atmosphere and temperament.
"Moths" affords an opportunity for crea
tive nctlng, the development of a character
as tho story progresses, a phase that is
denied in the "Du Barry" offered; in the
latter piece each of the several individuals
who move through the play spring fully
developed and equipped Into the action at
the very beginning and proceed with math
ematical precision to a. foreordained goal,
thus defeating the purpose of the play.
The visit of O. D.Woodward of Kansas
City, president of the Woodward St Burgess
Amusement company, during the week was
for the purpose of closing some contract
for the new Burwood theater. After con
ference with Vice President Burgess tho
contracts for the Interior decoration, the
stage fittings and practically everything
but the electrto wiring were let. The roof
trusses are being placed in position now
and the theater will be under roof within
ten days. Then the work of Interior con
structton will be pushed with all speed.
Fuchs & Fuchs of Omaha will do the deco
rating, the sketches showing a beautiful
eolor scheme of green, gold and Ivory. The
ehalrs, which will be of the latest pattern,
rill be upholstered In green. The stage
will be equipped with an asbestos curtain
of the latest make and additional protection
hi the shape of an automatic sprinkling de
vice, which will flood the stage at any time,
ts also to be Installed. Eight hundred feet
pf hose will be distributed through the
building as a further precaution. ,The whole
plan Is to make the theater absolutely fire
proof and to provide for the comfort and
convenience of all Its patrons. It Is ex
pected that the house will be opened, early
in September with a permanent stock com
pany under the direction of Woodward &
Burgess.
The outdoor production of "As You Like
It." for the benefit of the playground fund,
which Miss Lillian Fitch has been ar
ranging, promises to be one of the delights
t the summer season. The theater chosen
for the production is In one of the bosky
Sells of Hanscom park, the shrubbery at
tha nast end of the upper lake being se
lected as the background for the actors,
the stage being merely the sward of the
park, the proscenium the blue vault above,
arched In by the overhanging boughs of the
fine old elms, and the entrances and exits
marked by branches. The auditors will
find setts on the hillsides that surround
the spot as If nature had Intended there
to make an amphitheater. The hour for
t production, :45, is one that will give
the most cnarmlng atmosphere to the play,
allowing it to be presented mostly In the
waning light of day, only the closing
scenes requiring the Introduction of arti
ficial light. The young folks who are in
the cast, and some of them are clever In
deed, have entered Into the preparations
for the performance with seal and have
worked earnestly to perfect themselves In
the play. Miss Fitch has devoted much at
tention to this, to the end that the piece
-may be smoothly presented. One of the
features of the affair will be the singing
of the songs. Mr. Thomas J. Kelly has
arranged new niuslo for these, and Mr.
Manchester will sing them. "Under the
Oreenwood Tree" is a beautiful theme and
' with Mr. Kelly's muslo Is said to be very
pretty. The Woman's club is very active
in promoting the matter and the whole
undertaking ought to be a great success.
Coming Brents.
Beginning with this evening at the Boyd,
the Ferris Stock company will offer a melo
drama of the old school type, "A Royal
Slave." This tells a story of the early days
of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, the
leading character being a Montezuma In
dian, while the others are drawn from the
Spanish and common Indian ranks. A pow
erful love story is Interwoven with the tale
of lost treasure and the misdoings of a
Music and Musical Notes
The National Federation of Musical Clubs
has been in existence eight years and has
done a wonderful educational work during
that short time. The fourth biennial meet
ing was held about two weeks ago In Den
ver, when Mrs. Russell Dorr of New Tork
was elected president. In her response to
Mrs. McCartney's address of welcome she
told a very good story, which might be of
benefit to a good many small clubs whoso
scope la not broad enough and who find
their work becoming uninteresting: A
Colorado woman wrote to Mrs. Decker not
long ago. She satd: "I come to you for
help and suggestion. My club is apparently
losing Interest and disintegrating. We have
studied Just enough parliamentary law to
teach us how to quarrel; we have sung to
ourselves until we are tired and bored.
What shall we do?" This letter came to
Mrs. Decker when she was exceedingly
busy; she simply wrote: 'Try to sing to
others. My busy day; excuse brevity.
Yours truly." Bhe sent the letter, feeling
sorry that she had no time to really help
the woman. TO her Intense surprise she
received a letter a few months later from
this same president, saying: "Your letter
was an Inspiration. As an experiment I
divided my club Into five sections and sent
them out into the schools, hospitals and
poorer districts to sing 'to others,' and the
result Is simply marvellous. Interest has
revived, we are growing In interest and
numbers and, better still, we are worth
while."
This communication Illustrates the fact
that the idea of federation Is a fine thing,
and .that many clubs which dwindle and die
might be saved If they had the benefit of
the personality and advice of a strong or
ganlzatlon.
The prohibitive admission fees demanded
for the hearing of good music was also dis
cussed, the conclusion being that it was
not remarkable that the standard of mu
sical taste among the masses of America
was low. Mrs. McCartney rather summed
up the situation In these words: "We
should be tolerant of the taste which pre
fers a cornet solo of The Holy City to an
artistic rendition of a Beethoven sonata,
when we consider how few can enjoy a
broad musical education, though the love
of muslo may be as strong as in the more
fortunate.' She also spoke a word for sim
ple muslo, which she believes has a very
large place in the world, and told the story
of the little Fresh Air Fund girl who was
sent to the country. The kind woman to
whose care she was consigned looked for
ward eagerly to the pleasure which the lit
tle city waif would find In the Joys of coun
try life, so great a contrast to her usual
unhappy lot. The morning of her arrival
the child was led Into a great Meld of dais
ies and bade to pick all she wanted. . This
did not cause as much rapture as had been
expected, and even a visit to the cow and
calf failed to rouae any enthusiasm. At
twilight when the family were gathered on
the platta enjoying the peaceful evening
the small visitor was missed and was at
last discovered huddled In a disconsolate
bunch on her bed, weeping dismally.
"What Is It, dear," asked the good farmer's
wife, "do you miss your mamma so much?"
"No-o-o," walled the child, "it's so awful
lonesome here; ain't you got no German
bands and no hand organs!'
Paderewskl's chalet at Morges, In Switz
erland. Is given this description by a corre
spondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung:
"Chalet, in German, means a herdsman's
cottage; wealthy persons on the Lake of
Geneva, however, when they want to be
tray real modesty, favor this term for
their villas, even when they are worth
half a million or a million francs, as
Paderewskl's Tueculum is. Its location is
some distance away from the road, yet
easily accessible. If you visit the pleasing
little town of Morges, on the Lake of
Gwneva, and walk west toward the pic
turesque village of Jolochenaz, you will In
a quarter of an hour reach a shady park,
amid which the 'Chalet de Rioand Bosson'
presents an Imposing appearance. If you
heed the warning notice on the gate:
'N'entres pas sans sonner, prenez gurde
aux chlens,' you may enter the grounds
without danger. At most you will risk
having your clothes torn, for Paderewskl's
dogs have particularly sharp teeth. By
way of compensation, there are many beau
tiful things to see on the other side of
the wire fence. Of course the little castle
of the Polish virtuoso is not open to
everybody, not even In the absence of the
owner, but all may visit the beautiful
park which was planted by the duchess of
Otranto. The widow of Kouche, the no
torious police commissioner of Napoleon
I, bought this place in 1S23, and occupied
It 4 long time. After her death the Chalet
de Rlonad Bosson came into possession of
her heirs, the Viscount d'Estournel and
the Count LeMarols, who sold it in lRtS
to Paderewskl. On emerging from the
shady walks of the park, the visitor
comes upon an enchanting scene. In the
foreground lies the antique little town of
Morges; back of it Is the semi-circular
blue expanse of the lake, and beyond that
tower the snowy peaks of the Alps.
