Mererrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrririy THE TRAVELER'S: REGBTER-NO: 43 Ree Conspiracy to Fleece the Public Despite all of the attempts which are being made by the | railroads to throw dust in the eyes of the public, there is no | concealing the fact that the present shortage of cars and en- | ines throughout the country is primarily due to gigantic stock jobbing operations. Every effort is being put forth by the men in control of | great transcontinental systems to make their net earnings show as large as possible, to the end that, thr h an ex cessive showing of profits, large blocks of additional stock may be unloaded upon the public and the proceeds of the sales divided up. Every new engine that is built, every freight car that is constructed, takes just that much money out of the sum total which would otherwise show as profit The renewals of roadbeds with new ties to replace the rot ten ones, the equipping of dangerous stretches of track with block signal systems, the widening of narrow cuts, the strengthening of bri all tend to drain the treasury of | r h sw have a depre i Ab, me, a heedloss thing fs mao And strangely go¥erned ali bis labors How seliom hews his own bold plan, h his neighbor's. er head: bumps go Hut fits his need mat For while it ts true that more fresh alr and fe with an upper berth, be eure to kick for a lower, if you wish to re tain the respect of the Pullman conductor .

The railway sharpers foresee the carly passage by congress of drastic legislation, which will put an end to the overcap italization of railway companies. So they are making haste to grab all they can while the way remains open. ent in By the time congress passes a law which will 7 creases of capitalization without sufficient cause and limits at the same time the profits which may be made by common carriers, the mischief will have been done. The old story of locking the stable door after the horse is stolen is to he repeated. No American railway should be permitted to earn over a certain per cent on its stock. Then the surplus profits would necessarily go to the improvement of the property. In no country on earth is there such great need of improved road beds and better equipment It is becoming more and more evident that the railways in the United States will never be managed in the interest of the people until they are brought under the effective control of the government. —_——-—--—- — PERE R HEP ESE RE ER AER AR REE EERE EES TEN COMMANDMENTS. : For the Girl Who Would Marry NO. 3 BY DOROTHY OW~LE.
