LEGISLATIVE CORRESPONDENCE
A
Calm View
of
the Present Situa
tion.
To the Editor: 1 am devoting such por
tion of my time as I can command this
winter to correspondence from tlie legis
lature, and It seems to me that the situa
tion is one which makes It tlie duty ot
thoughtful men who teel tiuit they can
fairly and impartially consider the rela
tion which the railroads occupy towards
the people to speak for the public inter
ests. For nearly half a century I have
watched with m'ucli Interest unit concern
tlie development of the Kroa1 Northwest.
I have never in my II fa owned a share of
railroad stock been in the employ of
a railroad or other corporation to advance
their interests, either in accord or against
the popular sentiment, and still modestly
claiming to some extent that I occupy the
position of a publicist, 1 feel as a sense
of duty the importance to the public to
urge a thoughtful consideration ot the
present situation. I make no claim to
speak for the railroads, but I do teel that
•is one who for nearly fifty years has sin
cerely and honestly written and spouon
to advance and care for the public wel
fare that I have some right to express
my views without my motives being im
pugned. The railroads are very far Horn
perfection. Tliey are not conducted with
an eye single 10 too puolic neitare, out
they have rights and there are two sides
to the question as between tlieni and tne
public, anil you cannot cripple or damage
them without crippling or damaging your
selves.
Mr. J. J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern, addressed ttie Northwestern
Lainiberinen's association at Minneapolis
-i few days ago. anil certainly gave some
thoughts for serious consideration. to
Jemonstrate my statement that 'here
really are two sides, I ask permission to
orietly quote some of the views he ex
pressed. —H. 1 tiall.,.
Among other.tilings Mr. Hill said:
"Hut I want to ask your most earned
attention, and I want lo urge upon you
simpiy a condition and. not a tneory.
And that condition is tnat there will u*
.10
relief for the movement ot Inmnei

if. Instead of twenty-fAr tney could
move fifty miles a day—wnlch would be
.our hours out of the twenty-four, one
sixth of the time—there are. cars enougi)
.o-tltij- to move a great deal more 'um
ber tnan you want to buy. But without
che track and without the terminal ta
cililies it cannot be moved, and it wil
not be moved and the cur tamine will
continue until these facilities ana ap
pliances are furnished, and your busi
ness, and the consumers' business, and
everybody else's business will have to
suffer arid will have lo pay.
"for that reason you can all do good,
you can all help, and the help that you
sail render is by taking a eat'etul and
intelligent view of the situation, lo to
understand the situation that you can
say to your neighbor, 'There are two
sides to this question. J.el us be lair,
lic-t us establish confidence.'
"Tlie people who build the railroads
are the people who have small invest
ments. Now, take the Great Northern
railway. Out of shareholders, my
holdings are comparatively smalt—less
than 7 per cent. And there are
1,1".J
women on our list of shareholders. And
when the people's property is held up as
something to be adopted by the state,
taken away from them—something that
is branded with tlie brand of unpopular
itv, at least—is that going to induce these
people to Invest? Take it to yourself—
for many of them are as little able to
put money into investments of that kind
as you are—is that the sort of invest
ment you prefer? Or will you look
somewhere else?
Money Must De Hnlnpil.
"We undertook to make an expenditure
of over .f.-in.w.'HM) next year in addi
tional tracks, and this new line I spoke
of—improvements, equipment and so. cm
—amounting in the neighborhood of S"A
and tried to raise S(!(j,iKW,H.io from
our shareholders. We asked them to put
tlieir own money in their own business,
and take tho chances that they would
receive a dividend if the company earned
it. But we are defending a lawsuit to
day, the contention being that they shall
not put their money into their own busi
ness, to furnish the facilities that they
are honestly hound from every stand
point to furnish.
"Before these questions will be settled
in this country there must be a clearer
and better understanding and better ap
preciation on the part of everybody as
to what is best to be done. The share
holders, what do they get? They get
their dividend if the company earns it.
Speaking for our own company, our
shareholders get the same dividend they
have received for years that is, the
same rate. But if we cannot handle our
business, and if we cannot raise the
money to create facilities to enable us
to handle our business, not only the
railroads must suffer but you must suf
fer with them.
Mr. Hill pleaded for a spirit of eon
cilia tion and fair play, saying:
"I want to ask you, as rational and
reasonable men, to consider your own
Interests, and see where they point. Sea
how the situation may be remedied. Ask
yourselves. Is any man able, who can
drive a horse to drink, to make him
drink after he gets him to the well?
Now, we have both got to come together
our minds have got to come together
and we have got to depend on each
other we have got to depend on you,
and you have to depend on us. Then wo
can get along very, very much better,
What we have to do, and tlie difficult
tiling we have to meet. Is to find money
to make these Improvements. I want to
say to you that there has not been a
time since 18113 when it has been so
difficult to raise money for railway pur
poses as it Is at present."
The speaker said tlie money necessary
to furnish relief must be forthcoming
within five years, a colossal and an
enormous task. The money markets of
the old world hnd been fished until there
were no more fish there. It had become
the fashion for politicians of a certain
class, men whose own characters would
not bear the flashlight of inquiry, to
abuse the railroads. The railroads were
always willing to discuss affairs of trans
portation in a fair spirit.
"An Eastern railway, whose securities
were sold liy a large banking house for
years, has Issued notes, three-year notes,
borrowing tlie money on the credit of
what collateral they could raise, and
their promise to pay. 1 asked one of
the men why,they didn't sell some bonds.
He said they had exhausted the entire
list of names in the directory for se
curity, and tho only thing they had left
was to raise money on their promissory
notes.
"The people are not encouraged to put
their money Into railways unless there
is a reasonable chance that It is secure.
You can answer that just as well as I
can, and your opinion will be just as
?ood as ujne."
Freight Rate*.
On the question of freight rates Mr.
Hill said
"When we compare them with the rates
In Europe they are less than half as
much, as a rule. The average rate in
Great Britain is $2.84 for hauling a ton
of freight a hundred miles in Russia it
Is about $1.75, and In the United States
it is 75 cents. These figures are official.
Those are the average rates. It is true
that our average is a little more than
one-third less than 40 per cent of the
average of Europe, and we pay a higher
scale of wages. They pay locomotive en
gineers from CO cents to ifl.'.'.j and $1.50 a
'lay. We pay $4.50 and probably will be
oaying in the neighborhood of ?5 within
a week. (Laughter.)
"And so all down the list. You know
the difficulty of getting good labor at any
urlce. If the railroad systems of the
'tntted States can furnish transportation
it an average cost of less than half that
'.liarged all over the continent of Europe,
vhere, as you know, practically ail the
railroads are owned by the state, with the
-,c ile of wages Infinitely lower than we
ire paying here, our system cannot be a
failure and accomplish that result.
"It is not a failure. It is the wonder ot
tlie railroad people of these other coun
-ries. I have had people come from In
iia, from Germany, from France, from
Vustria, from Russia and from Japan to
mow how It Is done. They come to find
iut. if they can, how we can furnish
uch service at a rate so much lower than
Hey are compelled to pay. Now. until
he situation changes very materially, un
ii the facilities for handling the business
.re very materially increased, your inter
-sts are going to suffer, do what you can
inrt all we can."
"Now, you gentlemen from Towa: A
ew years ago—time goes rapidly, and
might be eight or ten years ago—I
/as called to the office of the railway
ommisslon of Minnesota. They wanted
to reduce the rate on grain. I said
A'oulcl you be satisfied to have us put
le rate on grain as low as It is from
Vestern Iowa to Chicago?' Why, ves
ley would. It would be
all
right if' we
•ould give them the Iowa tariff. We
loked It UD, and found that our
rate
.-as about 25 to 30 per cent lower than
was from Western Iowa to Chicaso
think that holds good to-day.
"Let me ask you again to consider the
uestion as it affects you, and as it af
cts the railroads and sec* if It is not
'orth while to give both parties fair
reatment."

SAVING L08S OL* LETTERS.
Suggestion of Value Made by Assis
tant Postmaster General
More that 11,000,000 pieces of mail
went astray in these United States
last year because they were not dl«
rected. even well enough for the ex
perts to decipher the names and ad
dresses.
Millions of this, immense total went
to the dead letter office, where a lot of
it was opened, the addresses ot the
writers ascertained and the letters or
packages returned. But in a good
many cases the writer's address is
never found and the letter Is really
"dead" when neither the sender nor
the prospective receiver can be dis
covered.
Assistant Postmaster General De
Graw wants to get people in the habit
of writing their own addresses on the
outside of envelopes. This, he says,
would save trouble for all hands, as
the letter, if defective in address,
could be returned at once to the
writer. This simple precaution would
save many a piece of mall from an
early death and burial in the dead let*
ter office.
WHITE BREAD
Makes Trouble for People with Weak
Intestinal Digestion.
A lady In a Wis. town employed a
physician who Instructed her not to
eat white bread for two years. She
tells the details of her sickness and
she certainly was a sick woman.
"In the year 1887 I gave out from
overwork, and until 1901 I remained
an invalid in bed a great part of the
time. Had different doctors but noth
ing seemed 4o help. I suffered from
cerebro-spinal congestion, female trou
ble and serious stomach and bowel
trouble. My hufband called a naw
doctor and after having gone without
any food for 10 days the doctor or
dered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat
the new food from the very first
mouthful. The doctor kept me on
Grape-Nuts and the only medicine
was a little glycerine to heal the
alimentary canal.
"When I was up again doctor told
me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and
no white bread for two years. I got
well in good time and have gained In
strength so I can do my own work
again.
"My brain has been helped so much,
and I know that the Grape-Nuts food
did this, too. I found I had been
made ill because I was not fed right,
that is I did not properly digest white
bread and some other food I tried to
live on.
"I have never been without Grape
Nuts food since and eat it every day.
