SUBSIDIZED PRESS AND SUBSIDIZED B‘R Iralty System of Sitting on the Fence und ' Dibguising Party Leaniags Until the Foll 1s Announced — Thelr Power on the Wane, 1L William Larrabee Questi 1893, Another powerful reinforcement of the railroad lobby is not unfrequently a subsi- Governor The Railroad dized press and correspondents. The party organs at the capital are especially se- lected to defend as sound measuves, either from a partisan or nonpartisan standpoint, legislation of questionable propricty desived by the railroads, When such measures are advoeated by-party organs, partisan weni- bers, either from fear or prejudice, ave apt to “fall into live,” and then to rely upon these organs to defend their action. Editors, teporters and correspondents ave even’ re- taived as active lobbyists and give the rail- road managers' cause the benefit of thewr prestige. o such 'an extent has the abuse of the press been carried that a consideravle number of its unworthy representatives look upon railroad subsidies as legitimate per- quisites, which they will exact through blackmailing and other means of compulsion Af they are not offered. A case may be cited here to illustrate their mode of operation us well as the ethics of railroad lobbies, During one of the sessions of the Towa leg- slature o newspaper correspondent came nto possession of some information which reflected severoly on the raitroad lobby, He made his information tho subject of a spicy article and showed it tou friend who stood slose to the gentleman chiefly implicated with the remark that nothing but a §100 bill would prevent the transmission of the arti- 2lo by the ovening mail to the paper which ae represented. Before sundown the stipa- ated price was paid for the correspondent’s ilence and an ememy was turned into @ ud, Bar Corrupt Too, says of the American system, “All legislative boaies which ol lmportant pocuniary interests sure to have o lobby as an army samp follow Prof. Br, lobby con are us to have its Where the body is there will the vultures ba gathered together.” Tosuch au extent is the lobby abuse carried that some Jarge corporations select their regular solivitors more for thel qualifications as lovbyists than for their legal lore. It is o common romark among lawyers that a great comvany in Chicago pays o third class lawyer, who has the repu- tation of belug a first class lobbyist, an ex- \ravagant salary and calls him general so- fcitor, while it relies upon other lawyers toattend 10 its important legal business. The readiness of thu members of the bar to serve wealthy corporations is fast bringing the legal brofession of America into disves pute abroad. The suthor just quoted, in speaking of its woral standard, says: *But I am bound to add that some judicious American observers hold that the last thirty Jears bave wituessed a certain decadence in the bar of the great cities. They say that the growth of enormously rich and powerful corporatious, williug to pay vast sums for questionable services, has seduced the virl of some counsel whase eminence makes their example important, and that in a few states the degradation of the bench has led to secret unaerstandiugs between judges and counsel for the perversion of justice.” There ave, of cour attorneys empi but often raiii and honorable ad_companics, are selected more for theiv pol iniluence, tact and in- genuity than for legal ability, and, as a rule, the political lawyer receives much better compensation for his services than does the lawyer who attends strictly to legitimate logal worlk. Were There Only More Pubileity. dunger from railroad corporations lies in theirgreat wealth controlled by @ few versons aud_the wantof publicity in their business. Wore they required to render counts for their expenditures to the pu lie, legislative coruption funds s00n bo numered with the funct abuses of railroad corporations, and, with bribes wanting in the cquivalouts, the repre- ike to corpe tho pulic, while asserting the veople to” control the public highway and make it subservient to the welfure of the many instead of the enrichment of the few.

He thereby places both parties under political obligations, and believes his interests safe. whichever turn the political wheel 1 take After the contest he is usually the first to conl ulate the succo ndidate. In the national campaign of 1884, this rail king completely outwitted a western politi s for years ; cian and member of the republican national campaign committee, who ha prided himself on’ his poiitic gacity. This gentleman had ta upon himself to enlist the r ew Yorker in the repablican cause, and to obtain from Lim, us & token of his sincerity, a large contribution to tae Blaine campaign fund. H ceded, at least so far as the contributi s concerned: out wh the struggle was over and the opposition exuberence of joy over their vietory tales out of school, he was not a httle cha- grined to find that the managers of the Cleveland campaign had received from the astute railroad millionaire a campaign con- tribution twice as large as that which he had obtained from him. The diatribes which for weeks after the election filled the columns of lus paper refiected in every line the injured pride of the outwitted gencral, How the C s Are Worked, Judging from the laxity with which the railroad lnws have heen enforced m a con- siderable number of states, their executive departmonts as muck under the influ- ence of railroad managers as are the legisla- e and powertul ent tive departments of others, This cannot be surprising to thoso who know how often governors of states a nominatea and clected through railroad influences, and what efforts are made by corporations to humor servile and to propitiste independent executives, ‘Ihe time is not far remote when nearly overy delogate to o state von- vention had free transportation for the round teip.

While the result of this election was In- deed a bad dose for speculating raiiway managers, it is the opinion of the masses of ilway stockholders, who are more int ted in the general welfare of the roads than in speculation in their stocks, that the dose was well administered, and should be repeated whenever the necessity for it may again arise, 1t is probably true that railroad managers have lost much of their former intluence in politics, As their means of corruption have become generally kuown they have become less effective. The public is more on the alert, and corrupt politicians often find themselves unable to carry out their dis- creditaple compacts, But it 1s unreasonable to expect the evil to se until the cause s removed.
