MUTUAL ATTITUDE FREMONT, April 22. (Special.. N. H. Loomis, geenral solicitor of the Union Pacific, was the principal speaker this afternoon at the meet ing of Group No. 2 of the Nebraska State Bankers' association. Discuss ing the subject, "The Railroads and the People," Mr. Loomis said: Railroads ad Developmeat. The development ot our country has followed the building of railroads. Hero in our own state of Kobraska the splen did growth Is largel attributable to tho extension of railroads In every direction over Our fertile prairies. Without rail roads it would have- been years before the entire Transmissouri country was brought under cultivation. Hern, as In every other part of the United States, the demand for rallroada in the past waa insistent, so much so that the people permitted their construction upon al most any terms. This Indiscriminate appeal for means of transportation, as the Indispensable fac tor in developing the country, naturally led to abuses, such as rate discrimina tions, the free pass, and Improper exer cise of political Influence. I am not will ing to admit, however, that the rallroada were alone responsible for these condi tions. Rather, the conditions were the natural outgrowth of the existing order and tbe people must assume their fair share, there foie, of the capability. .Railroads Act Volamtarlly. In time, of course, these conditions brought their own corrections While the state was providing Its regulation of railroads, the railroads themselves were busy making voluntary changea and Im provements. And the railroads are con tinuing to make these Improvement vol untarily, both In the physics) condition of the properties as well as their opera tion for the benefit of the public, and It Is only fair that the public should not lose sight of this. The railroads do not claim or predlet perfection In operation or service, but simply a persistent aim at the Ideal. And as to these "Irregular practices" of a few years ago, they have been stamped out by public sentiment, legislative enactment and the railroads themselves, never to be revived or repeated. If any radical or fundamental change tn fcovernmental regulation of railroads is to e made It must mean government owner ship, for that la the only step In the course of events that has not yet been taken that la all that Is left. If govern ment regulation falls, government owner ship, I say, la the remedy. If dissatisfac tion with government regulation should become general, then government owner ship is liable to follow. Only one thing ran prevent it, namely, the opposition of the thoughtful, conservative people thoroughly alert to the possibilities of the situation. Majority Opposed to It. I have not the time to discuss the rela tive merits of private and public owner ship. 1 believe a large majority of the people of the country feel that It would not be best to turn the railroads over to the government and I assume that most of my audienoe this afternoon feel that way. While realising and frankly admitting that the success or failure of government regulation depends largely op the attitude of the rallroada themselves, It must also be admitted that the same tc true as to the attitude or the public Now, as to rates, I shall not discuss the present de mands for increases, but I do maintain that the requests of the rallroada should not be looked upon with disfavor. When earnings materially fall off and rallroada cannot pay interest and dividends, then their future depends entirely upon the willingness of the law-abiding power to grant increases In rstes. - Plea for Cjenrroslty. I plead for a broad, generoua attitude on the part of the public toward the rail roads, not forgetting, however, that the railroads should bear the same attitude toward the public and co-operate In the enforcement of reasonable rules. for the correction of abuses, the protection of public rights and the efficiency of publlo service. EARTHQUAKE SHOCK IS FELT. IN TAC0MA Baby's Happiness Depends on Health Cross, fretful bsbles usually neel a laxative to make them comfort ahle, and comfort begets happiness.
