NEW LINE TO MINNEAPOLIS
Gossip Has the Burlington Buying
Hawley System.
TO ANNEX TO THE HTT.L SYSTEM
Shonlil It He TnUrn Oyer n Xrw Line
Probably Will ne llullt lletTreen
Storm Lnhr, lotrn, nnd
Omnha.
While offlolals at headquarters will not
confirm the report, they will not deny
the story from New York that In the
near future the Minneapolis & St. Louis
road Is soon to become a part of the Bur
lington system and that Immediately
thereafter the construction of a line from
Storm Lake, la, to Omaha will be built.
The Minneapolis & 8L Louis comprises
what Is known as tho Uawlcy system;
It gridirons central Iowa and has a lino
extending from Minneapolis to LcUeau,
an the Missouri river In north South
Dakota. Minneapolis Is the only terminal
point of Importance that It reaches and
It has never been a money-maker, awing
to the fact that It has been compelled
to depend upon local business for its sup
port According to railroad men who claim
to know, only two courses aro open to
the Minneapolis & Bt Louis. One' Is to
loon bo Into the hands of a receiver and
the other Is to sell. The latter course
has been chosen and tho property has
been offered for rale and an option taken
y the Burlington, or, rather, the Hill
lystem. The price Is not known, but It
to said to bo much less than would bo
Hie cost of construction.
Should tho Hill system take over the
Minneapolis Si BU Louts, tho gap be
tween Storm Lake and Omaha, a distance
of 115 miles, would be built early next
rprlng. This would give Omaha another
short line Into Minneapolis and at the
name time It would connect up the Bur
lington and the Hill ronds of Minnesota
and the Dakota. It would also enable
the Burlington to have a direct line bo
tween Kansas City nnd the north, some
hlng that It Is without at this time.
IUllroad men who have looked Into the
situation say that with the road owned
by the Burlington, or under 1U control,
It would at once become one of the best
paying railroad propositions in the coun
try. Mayor Asks that
City Be Heard on
the Gas Ordinance
Mayor James C. Tahlman has re
quested Improvement clubs and other
clvlo bodies Interested In publlo ques
tions to give the city a hearing when
ever tho gas franchise ordinance la under
discussion.
Believing the administration has acted
in behalf of tho peoplo In submitting
this gas ordlnnnce the mayor has ar
ranged with tho other commissioners and
the city legal department to discuss the
ordinance favorably before any Improve
ment club.
If the mayor himself cannot take up
tho case beforo tho improvement clubs,
Police Commissioner J. J. Ilyder or ono
of tho city attorneys will argue for tho
adoption of the gas franchise ordinance.

PENSIONS FOR THE SOUTH
Gumshoe Movement for that Purpose
Started in Congress.
PLAN FOR MODERATE START
Amonnt Limited to Sara Korr Paid-
hr States to Confederate
Veterans Kunnllslns;
the Itnte.
A subtle effort to secure United States
pensions for confederate veterans I
afoot in congress. It appears in tho form ;
of several resolution, notably one of- i
fered by Richmond Pearson Hob ton of
Alabama, which alms to "equalize" j
pensions of confederate and union
veterans. The tttlo means nothing In i
tho abstract, but when tho word
"equalize" Is construed In accordance
with the provisions of Captain Hobson'a
resolution, It Is seen that the resolution
would "equalize" tho pensions of con
federate veterans by taking enough
money out of tho United States treasury
each year to cover the difference paid
then veterans by their respective states
and tha sum they would receive If they
were union veterans on the federal pen !
slon roll. In other words, Captain Hob-
son and the southern men wh6
stand with htm in support of his resolu
tion would not yet pension confederate
veterans wholly out of the federal treas- j
ury. They would make a start by hav.
Ing the government see to It that the
men who tried to destroy the union In
IW1 should receive as much remuneration
In the form of pensions as the men who
prevented this destruction.
Cnntnln Hobson'a Ilesolntlon.
Captain Hobson's resolution, which has
been referred to the, committee on In.
valid pensions, Is as follows:
"That tho secretary of the Interior is
hereby authorised and directed to estab
llsh and maintain a roll of all confederate
veterans pensioned by the several states
with the amount of the pension received
by each 'veteran and with the amount
each veteran would receive were ho a
veteran of the union, and to pay to each
confederate veteran out of such moneys
in tna treasury, not otherwise appro
priated, the difference between tho .twc
amounts, provided that in no case shall
the amount paid by the United States
exceed the amoUnt paid by the state."
Tnis proposition means, In plain Eng.
llsh, that the United States shall
about 60 per cent of the pensions con.
federate veterans would recelvo If the
Hobson resolution were law. Kleven
southern states now pay pensions to the
survivors or the confederate army. Thelt
number Is not known nor has tho pension
uuroau any official figures whatever to
guide It, should it be required to comply
with tho provisions of the Hobson resolu
tion. Prom a speech In tho senate made
by Nathan P. Bryan January 2 U12, It
Is learned, howover, that the total sum
of confederate pensions Is $3,780,833.68,
against Ili.tSJ.ocr.a, which was paid by
the fedoral government to veterans re.
elding In those states In 1911.

In the foregoing tabla of M,n.i
sions aro Included sums paid on account
of the War with Mexico and the various
Indian wars. To make, a fair compart
son. pensions oilier than civil war pen
sions should bo omitted. No data exists
to show which aro straight civil war
pensions and which are not If, how
vor, all pensioners of these other wars
were residents of these eleven stattc
which, of course, thoy are not there
would bo deducted: On account of war,
"ivv, .wio.xi, on account or
Indian wars, J578.0S&K; making a total
ot l,8M,0O4.i. Subtracting this amount
wo would have In these eleven states
tho following result:
Federal pensions on account of civil
war, ttO.Hl.Wi5S. Confederate pensions
on account of civil wnr, i3.T80i8n.B8. a
difference in 1911 of J1,H0,E9,00.
It Is evident, therofore, that the amount
paid out by the fedoral government In
tho southern states which pensioned
confederate veterans Is at least double tho
amount paid as state pensions to ox-
confederate soldiers. Thus the Hobson
resolution would Impose at the start an
extra pension expense of almost $3,000,000
upon the federal government.
More Careful tn the Sooth.
But Ihe southern states do not pension
their veterans with the careless liber
ality, not to. say extravagance, of con
gress. They pay pensions only to sur
vivors of the war who need aid and only
to the widows ot men who were killed
or died tut the result of wounds. Tho
United States broadly speaking, passes
out a pension to every "voteran" that
asks for one. Should the fedoral gov
ernment bs made to pay confederate
pensions. It would be against human
nature, for the confederate veterans to
demand less or to ask aid only upoi
greater merit than their union brothers.
It is a fair assumption that more con
federate than union veterans -are now
living tn 'the southern states, and If
this Is true, the 15.000,000 with which
Captain Hobson would start the ball
rolling might appear a very insignificant
sum In comparison with what the "United
Veterans" might be able to drag out -ot
the government If they could work It
at both ends. Frauds by the thousands
and deserters by tho thousands are now
the objects of federal largess, and the
Hobson resolution not only would vlolato
the whole principle ot the pension system,
that government aid should be extended
only to the men who saved the gov
ernment, but would open the door still
wider to abuse of the pension roll.
