NO NEED OF RATES LEGISLATION Capital is Worried for Fear People May Wrest From Rail- road Barons Their Con- trol of Congress. Railroad men with seldom an ex- ception. are in favor f giving the government control of capitalization. That is one feature of the railroad campaign of which they heartily ap- prpvey They do not see the necessity for so much rate legislation. They feel campetent| to make rates without the help of the public and they have fl confidence in their ability to do the square thing by the public; very slender confidence in the capacity of the public to do the square thing iby the railroads. Also they resent interference, fn a way’ common to all human nature. If you doubt it, what was it you said when your wife gave you some inspired directions how to build a fire on the hearth? They do not share in the demand for laws to regulate the movement of freight. They are right on the job and they would like to see any- body tell them how to ush traffic any faster than they are doing. They are not enthusiastic over govern- ;ment regulation of service. When jit comes to fixing up trains with or without pink tea they think they know asmuch about it as any govern- }ment that ever was. Control of Capitalization. But when you mention control of capitalization—there, now you have said it. “Between you and me,” says the railroad man, “that is where the mischief lies.” He does not de- ‘liver his views without a shout. He is the underling of a man who is appointed by the men who are toying with capitalization. It is not incumbent. on him to agitate for lim- iting free play of ingenuity on the part of his superiors. But in strict confidence he| wishes! success to the : movement. | There is seldom a railroad man, among practical railroad men who work on the railroads for, their liv- ing, who does not hope the transpor- tation industry may be separated from stock jobbing, that the firma- ment, so to speak, may be divided from what waters that are under the firmanent. The pernicious masters of the floodgates bid the water issue and the railroad men who man the rail- ;roads have to swim through the in- ‘iiquity. They have to keep them- Selves afloat and their properties | above water. Their own wages ‘are held down ‘by the pretext that jthe road is barely earning its ex- | penses when that expense schedule | includes the) interest on bonds that ;stand for the sost of construction | ana when the struggle jis to wring ‘out dividends on stock that represent | water. | Must Answer to Public. | They have to answer to the pub; \lic for rates that are running high and service that is niggardly, know- ing that {if their hands were free to |run the railroad ws a branch of the transportation industry solely, so they could make more favorable rates and give adequate service. Control of cagqitalization implies that the government may refuse per- | mission to any railroad to water its stock im the first place, as a protec- tion to the public against fictitious valuations, and that it may super- vise expenditures under new issues of capital to see that they are ap- plied to the purposes for which the credit was voted, as a protection to the stockholders against a form of rdiibery that has been all too fre- quent. Control of capitalization is cus- tomary in the majority of enlight- ened states. In England any gentle- man intendig to build a railroad or issue seven. billions of new stock has got to show the government what it is for and show the same government afterward what he did with the money. And ‘so it is in most European countries, including some that are not usually considered our equals in enlightenment. T. R. Approves of It. Control ‘ of capitalization js advo- cated by a certain huntsman soon to return from the upper Nile. . Control of capitalization has been urged by every first-class agitator from the time of the granger down to the re- monstrance of the civic bodies, from Ignatius Donnelly to William How- ard Taft. The interstate commission asks for it. Farmers, business men, railroad men, all sorts and con- ditions of men favor the restriction. And yet it has not obtained the sanction of congress. If the railroads wish their rates to include provision for dividends, they must show that they are entitled to dividends. If they insist on piling up imaginary wealth and then claim- ing the right to collect real dividends ‘on it, they may find the people event ually denying their right to any -divi- dends ait all. Finally, if the railroads will not, permit their congress to pass laws providing for control of capitalization, first they know the people will get angry and take the control of con- gress itself away from them. WRONG VIEWS ON THE CENSUS Many Fear that Correct Answers Will Increase Cost of Taxation. Letters from the census supervis- ors to the United States Census Bu- reau show the erroneous apprehen- sion of a considerable element of the population that their answers to the enumerators ’questions in the next census, beginning April 15, this year, will cause increased taxation, legal entanglements, or injurious conse- quences ‘to their persons and pro- perty. In order to quiet such unfounded fears, which would, unless removed, materially affect the accuracy of the census, the bureau has prepared an official statement relative to the de cennial census, its origin, purpose, and uses. This statement should furnish com- plete assurance to those concerned that information given the enumera- tors is held by the Census Bureau in strictest confidence with reference to the identity of the imformants, as required by, the policy of the ‘bu- reau and commanded by the law of the United States. The ‘bureau earnestly hopes that clergymen, priests, physicians, school- teachers, employers, and other pub- lie-spirited citizens who come iin con- tact with large numbers of people, will co-operate with the bureau by tel ing persons who are believed to enter tain erroneous opinions of the cen- sus the real facts amd urge them to give full replies to the enumerat- ors and ‘ speak of the census to the school children and ask them to tell their parents about it. The statement issued by the bu- reau explains that the Constitution requires a census of the population. to be taken every ten years im order to reapportion state representa- tion in the National House of Rep- resentatives. It is the means also to ascertain the increase in the popula. | Serer tion, agriculture, industries, and re- sources of the nation since the last census. It is emphatically declared, by the statement, that the. information sought from the people .of the Unit- ed States is used solely for general statistical purposes, It will neither fe published nor used in any other way to disclose facts regarding any individual or . enterprise. The cen- sus, it goes on to say, is not, never has been, and can not be employed to obtain information that can be used in any way im ithe assessment of property for purposes of taxation or the collection of taxes, either na- tional, state, or local; or for de- portation proceedings, extradition measures, army or navy conscription internal-revenue investigations, com pulsory school attendance, child-labor law prosecutions, quarantine regula- tions, or in any way to affect the life, liberty or property of any person It points out that replies to the enumerators are and must be held by the Census Bureau in strict and ab- solute confidence. All the bureau officials, supervisors, supervisors’ clerks, enumerators, and interpreters, ‘before entering upon their duties, are obliged to take a solemn oat! not to disclose any information they may obtain, except to the Census Bu- reau, and a violation o the United States law in regard to this oath means a $1,000 fine or imprisonment for two years, or both, in the discre- tion of the court.
