"Railroad Rebates" is Ray Stan- (,
nard Baker's second paper on the ^
Railroad Question. Ho explains
what rebates are, how they are paid,
who pays them and how they affect t
industry; illustrating the whole i
process by specific instances, littlo i
human stories picked up from rail- h
road men and shippers, tho gainers f
and tho sufferers by the system. t,
Jack London's "Lovo of Life" is f
a harrowing tale of humun endur- v
ance, pitting against nature and ]
against each other, a starving man ^
and a starving wolf. Blumenschein j
has illustrated it wonderfully, in ]
color. In contrast to this tale of 8
primitive strength is a delicate, 8
fanciful Irish folk tale full of the \
nimble wit of the race ill which e
Herminie Templeton introduces g
again Darby O'Gill, and the King j
of tho Fairies. Then thero is tho \
"Courtship of the Boss," tho heart- f
history of a ringster, an' amusing [
and true story; "Tho Deepwater H
Debate," a wholesome little talo of \
tho excitements and tho love-mak- c
ing of an old home town and stories t

ax levied irpon the people. A tax
ipon every mouthful of food we
at, every garment we wear, every
imoer in the house we live in,
very shovelful of coal we burn.
4 4 In America each person pays
bout $7 annually for the expenses
f the Federal Government . . . but
he railroad tax in freights averages
ach year over $20 for every man,
I'oman and child, nearly four times !
he government tax.
4 4Now, taxation is an elemental
unction of government; it is, indeed,
he foundation of government. i
44No money, no state."
4'In the present railroad agitaion,
the old, old question of equal
axation and the right of represenation
in levying taxes, is squarely
Kjfore us again. "The cry arises
rom every part of the country that
he railroad 4baron' does not tax
airly and squarely. He is charged
vith making taxes low and easy for
lis rich favorites?the Rockefellers,
he Armours, and their like, and
le is charged with making the taxes
ligh and hard for the farmer, the
mall, struggling manufacturers and
hippers, and all the vast, unorgan- ;
zed mass of producers and consum- i
trs. He is charged with using his j
rreat Dower to r?rnot,ieo ovfnrtir>n I
io io charged with secretly paying i
nick part of the taxes to his rich '
avoritcs by a dovioo called the 'relate.'
Let the city of New York
ecretly relmto part of tho taxes of
ts wealthy citizens and see what a
sommotion would arise 1 And yet
he railroad corporation, which by
drtue of its character stands in tho
ilace of the government, is charged
vith committing exactly that ofanse.
In other words, those rail oad
representative of ours, appointed
by us as tax collectors, do not represent
us, but work for their own personal
political repsesentatives! The
present demand for rate legislation
jy tho government is nothing more
nor less than the old, old demand for
taxation without representation.'
"Tho Cullom investigating com-'
inittee as long as 1886, in its ar- j
rangement of the railroads made;
this charge: |
"'They, (the railroads,) do not'

discriminate between .persons and
places.''.. . ..." .... .

equality of opportunity,'Constitute
the life-blood of a democratic state.
And yet these chartered representatives
