TALKS ON GREAT PROBLEMS
B. T. Winchell Discusses Sailroads
and Ex-Mayor Dunne Utilities.
BANQUET OF COMMXECIAL CLUB
Telegram of Felicitation la Sent to
Last Year's Gaeat of Honor nnd
Speaker, President Wil
liam H. Taft.
One year ago the Comraerclal club of
Council Bluffs had the honor of entertain
ing at Its annual banquet William H. Taft,
and last night, at the sixth annual ban
quet, the club had as Its guests the
head of one of the greatest railroad
systems and the former chief executive of
one of the greatest cltlea of this country
B. U Winchell, president of the Rock
Island Railway company, and Edward F.
Dunne, former mayor of the city of Chi
cago. Emmet Tlnley presided as toaatmaster. In
his Introductory remarks Mr. Tlnley re
ferred to the fact that one year ago the
club had as Its guest WMlliam H. Taft. sec
retary of war, since elected president of
this great country. At Mr. Tlnley's request
General Orenvllle. M. Dodge read the fol
lowing telegram, which waa sent to Presi
dent Taft:
The Commercial club of Council Bluffs, at
Its annual banquet, remembers that one
year ago Its distinguished guest was the
secretary of war. who entertained It with
very able and Interesting address on the
Philippines, and tonight extends to him
as the president of our greaw nation Its
heartfelt wishes for his good health, long
life and for a successful and prosperous
administration of his great office.
Former Mayor Fdward F. Dunne la a
etrong advocate . of municipal ownership
of public utilities and he took aa the sub
ject of his address, "The Drift Toward
Public Ownership." Mr. Dunne said In the
course of his talk:
What Is to be th ultimate outonme of
the movement towards public ownership In
America T
Where short time franchises are expir
ing public ownership Is Inevitable sooner or
later In the near future. WhyT All the
private companies are over-capitalized
WTien the franchise expires the principal
element that gives value to the stock, the
franchise, Is gone. The personal property,
the only other asset at the time Is Junk.
When a franchise expiree there are only
two bidders for the privilege of furnishing
public service; the people, who have a
perpetual franchise worth 310, but who
reed some personal property worth In
comparison 31 and the old company with
personal property worth 31, who need a
franchise worth In comparison $10. The
bidders are not cn level terms. The people
If they wsnt the business and the recent
history of the world shows they do, will
get tha business.
When perpetual franchises exist the out
come Is not so certain. The result
depends upon the efficiency of man
agement, moderation In charges and the
decency of the treatment accorded to the
public. The public will not agitate for or
favor the taking over of a public, utility,
which has a perpetual franchise by con
demnation.' if the public cannot give more
efficient and economical service to the
public.
Wlacnrll on Railroad Problem.
Mr. Winchell took as the subject of his'
address, "Which Shall It Be?" saying In
part :
Shall what we commonly call politics be
the pvlncli! aim of our national life, and
the principal reason for our existence, or
shall we henceforth devote more thought
to buslpess necessity and the material de
veloment of our magnificent resources?
Shall we devote more time and thought
to i lie question of what shall serve the
people In public nffW-e. or to the some
what of late overlooked l-iohlems of how
to turn the wheels of Industry more rap
idly, so that deserving worklngmen may
comfortably care for their families; so
that our states and cltlea may flourish and
fulfill their magnificent destinies; so that
those who hsve money available to be
sent In development of work may looeen
their purie springs.
I am confident that you are thinking, If
you do not say it, that business also Is
selfish, and that many business methods
are bad. and in this you are right. Is It
not a conclusion easy to reach that politics
must some day go to tha big, broad prin
ciples of "science of government." for the
benefit and beat good of all Intareata? and
that business must come to be conducted
everywhere on a broad and fair basis,
open to the light of day and able to look
the honest elilaen directly In the eye; but
al conducted on a basis which will
yield profits large enough to tempt the
owners of money to Invest It lu things
which the nation needs?
One of the question which the nation
must soon solve ia that of responsibility
for railroad auoccaa or failure, aald
Mr. winchell.
Under existing conditions that responsi
bility has certainly been taken away front
the owners. They are not te full eon I rot
either of the rates or expenditures. tkes

mission, If so, with which one. in the case
of a road which operates in many states?
In one of the Rock Island states a 2-ccnt
pnssnfrer 1)111 was Introduced some eight
een months or two yf&rs ao, and we. were
told by those In authority that no op
prrtunlly would be given for the submis
sion of figures or ara-un-ents that the
legislature had been elected on a 2-eent
rate platform, and therefore the matter
waa closed. This act was Independent of
what was done by the railroad commis
sion of that state, and regardless of what
had been done or was being done In all of
the other states. If the theory Is to pre
vail that rates shall.be ao adjusted aa to
yield a fair and attractive return to the
owners, than revenues' cannot be reduced
plrcemeal here and there without regard
to what la being done by others who are
active in tha same cause.

STROWQ ARM GAME FOR OJtH MIKI
Take Tils ' Diamond Stnd and Bet It
Over Hla Proteat.
Joseph P. Walker of Denvr appeared
before the district court grand Jury yester
day and told hla story of how J. C. May
bray and the. other members of the
"swindling syndicate" ; fleeced him out of
16,000 and a valuable diamond stud. . A
fake horse race waa Walker's .undoing.
Ryan, the saloonkeeper under arrest at
Hot Springs, is accused by Walker of tak
ing hla' diamond stud.
"Those fellows literally atolo that dia
mond from me," said Walker yesterday In
relating hla experience with the gang
here. "We had driven out to see the race
when Maybray came up to me and aald,
'If you think ao much of your horae I'll
bet my " diamond ring against your dia
mond stud. I told him I did not want to
bet the stud aa my wife would go craxy
if I lost It. "Oh. bet him the stud," said
this man Ryan, and tha fellow actually
walked up to me, unscrewed the stud out
of my shirt. When Ryan took the atud
Maybray handed him his ring and Ryan
put the two In his pocket, saying he would
act as stakeholder. I probated again, but
It did no good as by this tlmo everybody
appeared to be excited about the race and
the horses were about to be started. I
never saw my diamond stud again."
Walker said he knew Maybray as Gordon.
He makes the fifth "Mike" to respond to
Postofflce Inspector Swenaon's Invitation
to comehere and go before the district
grand Jury.
County Attorney Hess aald last evening
that lie had been advised that C. H. Reese

Iowa
liquor laws another new twist today. wMch
will add to the troubles of the registered
pharmacists. In a Polk county case, that
of Sharp against Davis, the defendant
resisted an Injunction on the ground that
in aelltng liquor to a minor he had the
written consent of the boy's father. The
court. In a decision by judge Evans, holds
that this Is no protection to the permit
holder, and while the Iowa law says that
the druggist shall not sell to a minor
without a written permission from a
parent or guardian, olsewhere the law
absolutely forbids such sale. In short, even
though the applicant for liquors signs a
statement that he Is not a minor, or
produces a written permit, stfll the drug
gist miiHt not sell to the minor under any
circumstances.
