THE LOCAL COAL CONSPIRACY
INTERSTATE Commerce Commissioner Franklin K. Lane said
recently that during his investigation of the car shortage and the
resulting scarcity of fuel he found abundant evidence of the ex
istence of a coal trust. There was no doubt that the railroads
were the most important factor in this conspiracy in restraint of
San Francisco is today suffering and shivering. in the grip of the
trust. Some of our chief sources of supply in the past have been
cut off altoegther, and the single important group of mines that re
mains open is not being worked to anything like its capacity.
The motive for this policy of the mine-owners is not obscure.
Practically all the coal mines on United States territory within ship
ping distance of San Francisco are owned by railroads, and these cor
porations are not permitted under the rate law to sell coal. That
ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission is bitterly resented
by the railroad corporations, or, rather, that is one of their grievances
against the recent legislation by Congress. It will be their endeavor
to make that law as unpopular as possible. They will, wherever they
can. make the people suffer for its enforcement. This policy of
annoyance and injury is not at all confined to hampering the coal
trade. It finds examples all over the country. The object is to get
the rate law repealed.
The law will not be repealed, but rather it will be strengthened,
and the railroads are only heaping up trouble for themselves by their
policy of annoyance, which in the present instance takes the form
of inhumanity. , ' .
HARRIMAN'S RECENT SPECULATIONS
THE control of corporation surpluses has been the instrument
with which E. H. Harriman has contrived to gather in 25,000
miles of railroad under his hand. With an available surplus of
$100,000,000 in the Union Pacific treasury to be used as Harri
man pleased, the process of buying other railroads and getting his
hand on their surpluses might be continued indefinitely, or at least as
long as there were any other railroads in the market.
The investigation before the Interstate Commerce Commission
in New York some ten days ago disclosed the fact that by Harri
man's direction the Union Pacific had bought stocks of other rail-
Pads amounting to $103»168,745 since June 30 last. These purchases
eluded $28,000,000 of Illinois Central stock at the time when Har
riman was making his campaign to oust Stuyvesant Fish from the
presidency of that road. During that campaign Harriman more than
once denied in a public way that the Union Pacific was in any way
involved in the Illinois Central conspiracy. Yet the Union Pacific
minutes produced before the Interstate Commerce Commission prove
that the purchase of Illinois Central stock was made on Harriman's
motion and by his advice.
The control of other people's money is always dangerous. It
was that which led to the life insurance scandals. Similar disclosures
may arise in the pending investigation of the railroads. The specu
lative force of $100,000,000 in ready cash is incalculable. With that
money in hand as a revolving fund, Harriman began by buying
control of the Southern Pacific. He tried to buy the Northern
Pacific, and nearly succeeded. But the Northern Pacific stocks that
he bought to the extent of $70,000,000 proved so enormously profit
able that their sale put in his hands another vast sum with which to
continue his operations.
All these stocks held in the treasury of the Union Pacific are
part of the surplus of that railroad and belong to the shareholders.
So long as they continue under Harriman's control they can be used
to extend his dominions. The Interstate Commerce Commission
may, perhaps, order these holdings sold and the proceeds distributed
to the shareholders, but although that seems to be the simple and
obvious remedy, yet there are certain objections to throwing on the
market at once so much property of uncertain value. Nor is it cer
tain that this distribution would materially change the status. If
you resolve Harriman and the Union Pacific into their original
elements you would probably find that the Standard Oil group are
the real owners. In a word, the distribution of the Union Pacific
surplus might result in nothing more than a change of name. •
SAN FRANCISCO NOT ON THE MAP
I~^ LLEK TERRY, an English actress of mature years, is unkind
L enough to say that San Francisco is not on the map of civiliza
tion. That she includes Omaha in this geographical align
ment of barbarism docs not mitigate our woe or salve the
wound. Keokuk .and Walla Walla, Spokane and Yuma suffer under
the same ban of excommunication. We are all in the same class and
belong^ to the same breed of savages out here' and find ourselves
making envious faces at Terre Haute and Podunk, which are in
cluded in the fortunate territory that meets Miss Terry's approval.
"This will not be my farewell tour," remarks Miss Terry, '*as I
intend to revisit America frequently. We will not leave the civilized
part of America on the present tour— that is, we will go no farther
west than Chicago or 'farther south than Washington." "
We were quite prepared for the announcement that this would
not be' Miss Terry's farewell tour. When an actress of 59 begins
coming to America she never leaves off until an infuriated and long
suffering public takes to throwing carrots at her in self-defense.
Possibly, by. the' time Miss Terry is 70 she will begin making farewell
tours. But in the meantime San Francisco is a jay town. If memory

THE President's message concerning the Colorado River deals
with the most extraordinary problem of mixed industrial, en
gineering and international complications that has ever con-.
fronted the Government. Mr. Roosevelt does not conceal his
reluctance to involve the Government in the restoration of the status
quo, ante, but his hand is forced by the undisputable need to preserve
the immense agricultural and horticultural potentialities of a region
that should, under development, greatly .exceed; the ; productiveness
of all the land now in cultivation in Southern California. : j;l
Not only is the Imperial Valley in imminent' cJanger of extinctionr
but likewise the country about Yuma,' where the,' Government has in
hand a great irrigation project. In a word, the repair*' of the; break
is imperative. at whatever cost. The Southern Pacific; Company, as
the President points out, is the most. effective agency, 'to -undertake
the work, which it is estimated should cost; about §2,000,000. .The
Government might do the work, but has neither the organization nor
the equipment necessary for immediate work, and it is obvious that
delay may enormously increase the difficulties of the "undertaking.
The question of compensation for this work is a. matter to be dealt
with by Congress.

McKinley May Be J^ olph j. Trig's appointment to tho
Made a Regent Boafd of Unlvers ity Regents which former
Governor Pardee made recently may be. withdrawn by Governor^ Gillett
and the name of J.W. McKihley of Los Angeles sent to the Senate. Ut
course, the introduction of politics in university affairs would proiotmdiy
agitate John A. Britton, A. W. Foster and others, bnt snch things ara
likely to happen in a free country. Judge McKinley is close— very do *e-
to the chief engineer of the machine. As a programmer by day and by
night he has few equals and no superior. He was appointed .to the board
of regents by Governor Gage for the same reason that he was chosen by
W. F. Herrin for chairman of the California delegation to the Republican
National Convention, and this reason Was that the machine had confidence
in his verve and judgment. He was selected as chairman of the Republican
State Convention at Santa Cruz because the "organization" knew he could
be trusted. Somehow Governor Pardee failed to appreciate these accom
plishments and McKinley's name was dropped from the regency roll.
Taussig. who was named to succeed the Judge, had served as regent ex
officio for several years by virtue of his position as president of tho
Mechanics' Institute. Taussig is chairman of the Wilmerding School com
mittee and the committee on equipment and supplies. The tact that na
is a member of the finance and grounds and buildings committees signmea
that his fellow-regents have resolved to make him work for thrcause of
higher education. The regents are wondering what Governor Gillett will
do when the time comes to consider university affairs.

Oxnafd's senatorial campaign, 13 said to be fairly close up to the State,
administration. He is rated as "next" to the Governor by many of the
applicants for executive favor, but this rating is discounted 1 by several of
the Republican leaders who were conspicuously active in Gillett's behalf
during the recent campaign. The other day a well-known State officer was
"visited by an applicant for a berth. The seeker for a place began: "I
understand that one of the deputies in your office is about to resign, and
I asked Mr. Hatton if I could speak to you about appointment to the
place, and he told me I could." The State officer, without losing his
temper or making a fuss, calmly replied to the applicant in this form:
"It is true that one of my deputies has gone to the Legislature for thi3
session and I hear that he intends to resign, so, as you are informed, there
may be a vacancy for me to fill. I am glad that Mr. Hatton said that you
could speakto me on the subject. It would have been if he had told you
that you couldn't speak to me."

HIS Oakland Home Oakland du3t . Henceforth he wiU reside in
San Francisco and New York. At present Dingee is at peace with all the
world. He entertains the idea that Tom Magee . is a gentleman above
reproach and that Mayor Schmitz is a capital good fellow and Billy Metson
an ideal president of the Park Commission. Hand in hand Dingee, Metson
and Kirkpatrick will work to enhance the beauty of Golden Gate Park
and extol the glory of the Schmitz administration. Applicants for the
office of president of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners will breathe
easier when they read that Manager John C. Kirkpatrick is now a full
fledged parks commissioner. There, was a suspicion that "Kirk I ' -was slated
for Spear's place. In political camps the talk is that Governor Gage appointed
the colonel harbor commissioner to "please W: F. Herrin. Moreover, it is
said that Herrin will be pleased to hear that "Kirk" has been appointed
park commissioner.
