The Broad Way
Leads to Goodyear Tires
Try it a little while. It has carried some 400,000
motorists to the haven of content. It is traveled by more
users than hasany other tire. That has been so for years.
We can't win you (o Fortified
Tires by asking you to Iry them.
The tires themselves mustwin you.
But our plea is that you should
try the tires that countless men
found best. There must be a rea
son as you know, why Goodyears
dominate like this. Last year men
bought about one Goodyear for
every car in use.
In five costly ways, employed by
no other maker, they offer unique
protection. They combat five
troubles rim-cuts, blowouts,
loose treads, punctures and skid
ding—as is done in no other tire.
Price Reduction
On February 1st we made
another big price reduction. That
makes three reductions in two
years, totaling 45 per cent
Today Goodyears, more than
ever before, offer you most (or
the money. They offer you the
utmost possible in tires,measured
by cost per
mile. Doesn't

LOCAL BASKET BALL TEAMS WIN
High School Girls and Boys Teams
and Cosmos Club All Victorious
Last Week.
The local high school girls and boys
basket ball teams were victorious
over the Morris teams at the high
school gym. last Saturday evening.
The scores were 12 to 4, and 68 to 11,
respectively.
Girls 12, Morris 4.
The local girls team kept up their
good record and defeated the Morris
girls with comparative ease. The
game was won in the first half when
Willmar scored 10 points, and held
their opponents scoreless.
In the last half Morris scored four
points to two for Willmar. The score:
Tallman Flatner
Smith Hanse
Marshall Maloney
Wright Lund
DeLaHunt Smith
Severinson Gagen
Baskets: Tallman (3) Smith
Hanse. Fouls: Tallman, 2 Smith, 2
Hanse, 2.
Boys 68, Morris 11.
The local boys made a runaway
game of it after the first three or four
minutes of play, and they had things
their own way most of the time. The
game started out fast with Erickson
dropping in a basket for Willmar
shortly after time was called. Ormand
for Morris followed with one and then
Erickson and Severinson shot for
Willmar. From then on until the fin
ish it was merely a question of how
large the score would be. The locals
divided their scoring evenly between
the first and second halves, scoring
34 points in each period.
For Willmar Walt Ericl-son had a
lot of fun scoring baskets. He man
aged to snare eighteen of them, which
is a new record for a Willmar player
The former record was held by Bill
Johnson, who shot sixteen baskets in
a game some years ago, when playing
with the Seminary against Glenwood
Severinson followed Erickson with
eight baskets, and Yarrow had four
to his credit. Manley Holt and Con
way each connected for one, and
Johnstone for two. The team was in
a crippled condition owing to the fact
that Holt was down, and Johnstone
was somewhat disabled. He was kept
out of the first half owing to a weak
ankle, partly, and because he hasn't
been playing the game he is capable
of, in the last couple of games. Con
way played at stationery guard and
got away with it in good shape, hold
ing his man, and connecting once him
self. Manley Holt played at forward
during the first half and gave a pret
ty good account of himself.
The locals had good team work dur
ing the greater part of the game, but
they still show a tendency to miss
pot shots, altho Erickson showed a
great improvement in this, as all but
three of his baskets were easy shots
One was horsey and two others he
"tipped in" from the field.
For Morris Ormand played the best
game.
The score:
Severinson Harris
M. Holt Ormand
Erickson Stenger
Yarrow Larson
Conway Glablow
Subs: Johnstone for Holt Vinje for
Larson Larson for Vinje. Baskets:
Erickson (18) Severinson (8) Yar
row (4) Johnstone (2) Conway,
Holt Ormand (2) Stenger, Larson
Fouls: Harris, 3 out of 7.
Cosmos Club 46, Benson 29.
The Cosmos Club team journeyed
to Benson Saturday afternoon and de
feated the team of that place in the
evening by a score of 46 to 29. The
game was fairly good and for the
greater part of the first half the Ben
son bunch led, but later on and in the
last period good basket shooting by
Nordstrom and McEnroe sent the vis
itors into a commanding lead. In the
absence of Buck Johnson, Larson
played center and Bergeson guard
Taylor starred for the home team with
six baskets to his credit. The Will
mar bunch had pretty good team work
but they missed pot shots with great
regularity, and had it not been for the
fact that Mac and Obbie had little, or
no trouble in losing their guards the
result might have been different
Norling did some good work in ad
vancing the ball and he held Taylor
fairly well. But three fouls were call
ed on Benson, and Mac shot two of
those. The score:
McEnroe Taylor
Nordstrom Pederson
Larson B. Peterson
Norling C. Peterson
Bergeson Winters
Baskets: Nordstrom (9) McEnroe
(8) Larson (3) Norling (2) Taylor
(6) Pederson (4) B. Peterson (3)
C. Peterson. Fouls* McEnroe, 2 out
of 3. Pederson 1. Referee: Peterson

THE SWELLING OF
RAILROAD VALUATION
(Continued from page 5)
ought to be unity of purpose until we
come to a division of the increased
profits, and 4hen the two sides ought
to bargain with one another I
think the time is coming for unions to
get a larger share."
John D. Rockefeller also was quot
ed as saying he would like to divide
the surplus output of the industries
controlled by him with labor but lie
did not know how to go about it.
Representatives of the railroads lis
tening to this testimony received it
with the best grace possible. Several
times during the week James M. Shee
an, counsel for the companies, pro
tested to the board that the evidence
was irrelevant and at least once there
was a momentary prospect of its be
ing ruled out. Chairman Jeter C.
Pritchard happened to be absent on
that occasion, and returning, ordered
the inquiry to proceed. He said wide
scope had been given to the testi
mony and this practice would be ob
served throughout the investigation.
Grand Chief Stone declared this in
vestigation is "perhaps the greatest
arbitration the world ever knew in the
history of labor." He added: "There
is another side to all of this. It is not
as though I, as a representative of
these organizations, was working for
myself. There are 65,000 men out
here on these engines scattered all
over the Western .territory who have
to be satisfied and who are vitally in
terested."
That the Morgan, Rockefeller and
Gould interests and their thirteen al
lied banking houses virtually control
eighteen transportation companies
through stock ownership and that
these eighteen companies, through
various ramifications, command the
Western railroad situation were vital
facts demonstrated at Tuesday's hear
ing in Exhibits 59 and 60. Mr. Lauck
produced charts graphically disclosing
the interlocking arms of banks and
trust companies extending over the
railroads, and in turn, from trunk line
railroads to the many branches there
of. In the last analysis, the witness
showed, the financial triumvirate of
Morgan, Rockefeller and Gould were
the overlords of the ninety-eight West
ern railroads with which the engineers
and firemen are now pleading for
better compensation and working con
ditions.
The same day, testimony showing
the lavish hand with which Uncle
Sam distributed invaluable land
grants in frontier days was brought
out. Grand Chief Stone in his open
ing speech, outlining the frenzied
finance evidence to be given in re
buttal, made the following state
ments:
That federal and state land grants
to the Western railroads in the Unit
ed States totaled an aggregate of
195,272,950 acres which would make
4,881,824 farms of 40 acres each
That the land grants in square
miles measured 305,114, or more than
the area of either England, France,
Germany or Austria-Hungary.
Compared with the states in the un
ion, these grants to the trans-Missis
sippi lines formed an area as large as
all the New England states combined,
with the addition of the states of New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
These lands generally were given
in alternate sections for thirty miles
on each side of the proposed right of
way of the building railroad. The
agreement with the government was
'hat the companies should sell them
to settlers and the upset price should
not be higher than $2.50 per acre
generally the agreement was that all
the mineral rights and timber should
be reserved for the government and
the railroad companies were not to
infringe upon Uncle Sam's posses
sions. The promoters and adventur
ers building the Pacific railroads, for
example, were especially noteworthy,
according to Mr. Lauck, in disregard
ing their sacred promises to the gov
ernment and filched all sorts of valu
able rights and treasure for their per
sonal financial aggrandizement."
"In preference to an honest admin
istration of the grants," testified Mr.
Lauck, "the subsidies of lands and
bonds intended to promote the suc
cess of these enterprises were to a
great extent made the means of en
riching a few financial adventurers.
The various Pacific roads, for exam
ple, received more than 26,000,000
acres of land and $64,623,512 in gov
ernment bonds. The cost of their
construction in bonds, stock and
cash, as shown by the report of the
United States Pacific Railway Com
mission, was $126,154,138, while the
additional sum of $123,644,649 par
value in stocks and bonds was distrib
uted to officers and managers as pro
fits on fraudulent and collusive con
struction contracts."
The Southern Pacific, Atchinson
and the Northern Pacific were men
tioned especially by Mr. Lauck as
having run roughshod over their ob
ligations to the federal government,
having sequestered land worth mill
ions of dollars, sold other acreage for
millions, and in various, nefarious
ways evaded the terms the congress
of the United States laid down when
Uncle Sam opened his pocketbook to
give these tyro companies aid.
And after the land grants had been
misused and the government swindl
ed, Mr. Lauck testified that the fin
ancial pirate followed the land adven
turer and went him one better. That
is, the jugglers of stocks and bonds
were able to inflate Western railroad
values and to make fortunes not by
the million, but by the hundred mill
ion.
Mr. Lauck showed that on ten re
presentative Western railroads there
was watered stock which in 1913 drew
down nearly $12,000,000 in dividends.
Tears before this stock was worth
less and meanwhile, he declared, it

had been the plaything of Wall Street
wizards. Mr. Lauck said that if engi
neers and firemen were given a 25 per
cent increase in wages the amount in
volved, so far as these ten represen
tative roads were concerned, would be
$9,454,759. This increase, therefore,
would be about $2,000,000 less than
the total dividend payments on so
called excess Western railroad stock.
If the increase in wages were only
20 per cent, Mr. Lauck pointed out,
the consequent outlay would be $7,
560,604 if 15 per cent, $5,670,453 if
10 per cent, $3,780,302 and if only 5
per cent, $1,890,151. During the per
iod 1900-1910 these ten railroads, con
sidered as one system, the witness
declared, gave away in commissions
$9,120,124.
No opportunity was overlooked to
make the rich man richer so far as
railroad financial enterprise was con
cerned. Inside stockholders had
rights to subscribe for additional
stock at par when that particular
stock on the Wall Street Exchange
might be far above par. Between 1900
and 1910 the ten representative West
ern railroads issued stock to the
amount of $250,584,962 in this sort of
bonus to stockholders. All this in ad
dition to the cash dividends the share
holders had been receiving.
"If the finances of the companies
had been properly conducted," testi
fied Mr. Lauck, "the sum of $11,276,
405, representing the dividends paid
on excess stock issues in 1913, would
have been available for increased com
pensation of labor. In fact, this sin
gle item would have amounted to more
than a 20 per cent advance in com
pensation of locomotive engineers and
firemen.
"As a matter of fact, however, the
increased productive efficiency of en
gineers and firemen, which partly was
responsible for large revenue gains,
was used to pay dividend charges up
on unnecessary stock issues which
were arbitrarily created for the bene
fit of stockholders and did not repre
sent capital actually in service.'-*
In this way, time and again, Mr.
Lauck for the benefit of the arbitra
tors, disproved the theory that West
ern railroad capital was starving, and
proved that instead of having any pro
per foundation for the plea of pover
ty, actually should be in prime condi
tion, paying large dividends to share
holders, having plenty of surplus and
being abundantly able to give the ov
erworked employes higher wages. He
said at various times during the week
that this actuated the submission of
the so-called "frenzied finance" evi
dence for the consideration of the ar
bitration board.
Rebuttal testimony by the brother
hoods began Monday, the railroads on
their direct presentation having offer
ed forty-three exhibits and consumed
four weeks.
