St Paul, Minn.. Oct. 8. That the
railroads of the nation are using the
European war as a pretext for rais
ing ratea without Justification, and are
Imposing upon the good will of ad
ministrative offices to get by a scheme
that can do naught but work harm to
the American public. Is the sentiment
expressed by. H. G. Dahlberg. com
merce expert. Mr. Dahlberg has had
much experience in handling railroad
rate cases, both before the Interstate
Commerce commission e,nd various
State commissions. The pulpwood case
and the Missouri state rate case are
examples of his work, which won him
national fame. The following is an
article by Mr. Dahlberg on the pres
ent railroad mow:
The Article.
It is reported In the Traffic World,
a' Chicago railroad journal, for August
29.1914, that J. S. Bache & Co.. mem
bers of the New York exchange, have
sent a letter to 32,000 bankers, re
questing them to urge congress to call
upon the Interstate Commerce com
mission to revise its recent decision in
the eastern advance rate cases, so as
to provide an immediate and substan
tial advance in railroad rates.
Briefly stated, the advance seems
to be: '
1. Owing to the great European
war, there is a threatened unloading
of railroad securities held by Europe.
2. Our securities are in disfavor be
cause of the low railroad earnings.
3. They should at once be made at
tractive to capital all over the world.
4. Rates need to be advanced ma
terially in order to give such margin
of earnings as to make our railroad
securities so attractive that the funds
of the investing world will be irre
sistibly drawn to this country.
After a most exhaustive investiga
tion, the Interstate Commerce com
mission on July 29, 1914,. found what
ratea would yield a fair return for the
service performed and it must be ap
parent that the root of the present
"emergency pressure" (if any exists)
Is due to the fact that Europe is at
war, and her investors will not come
to us for seourlties, good, bad or in
different. The financial situation was
thoroughly investigated by the com
mission, who were forced to the con
clusion, that the credit of the railroads
was injured by the mismanagement of
the roads and not because of inade
quate rates. Also the commission
came to the conclusion that misman
agement was the cause of the impaired
public confidence in the railroads.
Various interests attempted to bring
great pressure to induce the Interstate
Commerce commission into granting
without reservation of any kind all the
advances petitioned for by the railroads
and this program of education brought
forth a denunciation from the commis
sion. The commission examined into the
matter thoroughly and painstakingly;
they- granted a very substantial in
crease in rates; and pointed out various
means of furthering and conserving the
revenues of the railroads. But all this
seems to have had little weight on the
gentlemen from Wall street, who. hav
ing failed in their efforts to intimidate
the commission are now apparently
starting a propaganda to which the
facts showed they were not entitled.
All B outness Is Tight.
It la not alone the railroads that feel
the money pinch. .All lines of business
face ' the same situation, and why the
government should particularly nurture
the transportation interests to save
them harmless embarrassment and an
noyance at the expense of the rest of
the country, is yet to be explained.
All Europe is Jit war, but since Wall
street makes much of its money by
selling stock, Europe must be made to
sit up and take -nourishment, no mat
ter how sich she is. The decree is there
fore Issued that each share of stock
shall carry with it a bonus in the shape
of extraordinary earning power, so that
it may be made irresistibly tempting
to Europe, war or no war.
What if the securities are only worth
60 per cent? Let Wall street sell them
in Europe for 100 per cent and pocket
the forty pieces of silver and then let
the American manufacturer, shipper
and traveler pay such rates that divi
dends may year after year be sent to
Europe in such inviting quantities that
Europe may buy more and more of
them regardless of their real worth.
The interests that have sinned are per
force at the end of their sinning and
now repent.
Every times Wall street sells a share
of stock, it makes some money. The
higher . the freight rates, the more . it
sells, the more it makes. The trick is
perfectly clear get more freipht rates;
sell more stock; make more money, and
let the publ'c "be damned.'

Screw Worms Causing Trouble.
Screw worms are causing a number
of farmers living north of town a
great deal of trouble. The worm is
about one-fourth inch long, and as big
around, as .the lead in . a pencil. The
chief cause' of this infection ts'a germ.
transmitted from the fly. They mul
tiply rapidly and burrow into the flesh.
Unless prompt measures are taken to
exterminate this worm it will cause
the farmer,. considerable Idas, by kill
ing the stock.
It is seldom that this germ is found
so far north. In Texas and the south
ern states it is a very common disease
among the stock.
