A Difference of 27 to 1
What is the difference between
The BANK OF MENLO.
and the average country Bank, which has its capital
stock of $25,000 to back all of its business transac
tions, but the Bank of Menlo has this and $650,000
of paid for FOREIGN BACKING which makes it
TWENTY SEVEN TIMES AS STRONG AS THE
AVERAGE COUNTRY BANK. DO business with
the Bank of Menlo, Deposit your GOOD money
when* you KNOW it is safe. THAT’S ALL.

THE MINIMUM RATE.
I “
( Average Railway Charges Seem
to be Near to Bed Rock.
“Capital is always timid; if it
I is fettered or handicapped be
» yond the point that it deems fair
> treatment it will take wings and
► fly away. “It will not share a
► divided responsibility with the
[ Government.” Said Senator
> Elkins in his speech on the rate
| bill last week. “It must be free
► to manage its investments as it
F sees fit inside the law. If the
F owners of railroads find they are
F denied the rights granted other
> litigants in the courts and cannot
• have the protection of the courts
in the management of their prop
erty, they may not only consent
but seek Government ownership,
in order to invest their capital in
some branch of business the
Government doos not undertake
in part to cont rol.
In the United States we have
the lowest rate, the .highest
wages, and the best railroad ser
vice in the world. During the
I last thirty years rates have been
I reduced from 2 cents per ton per
mile to about seven and one-half
mills per ton per mile. On some
railroads last year the average
rate per ton mile w-as as low as 6
mills and a fraction per ton per
mile. How much further this
reduction in the aggregate can
go is difficult to tell possibly if
the grades and curves are im
proved, better equipment and
I better motive power provided,
■ the average rate might be reduc
‘ ed to a half a cent per ton per
mile and yet afford a fair return
to the carrier, but surely the
rate cannot go much lower.
‘When the Windom Commis
sion made its report and that is
within the memory of many
Senators the great question
was whether the rate could ever
get lower than a cent a ton a mile.
Now we have about 6 mills a ton
a mile on the average and lower
still on some railroads. Lt has
been pushed down to that point,
but Ido not know how much
further it can go; I do not think
beyond five mills per ton per
i mile. Already we are so near
the dividing line that the reduc
tion of a mill or two per ton per
mile may mark the difference be
tween protit or loss. It is re
markable what an enormous sav
ing there has been to the people
in thirty years in the voluntary
reduction of rates by the railraods.
Take, for instance, the case of
the Great Northern railroad. A
statement prepared by Mr. Jas.
J. Hill president of the road,
shows that on this single road in
thirty years the reduction
been over $679,000,0(10. Wtmt a
saving to the people.
“This reduction applies to ail
the other roads in tiie country,
and the flggregalooi the saving
to the people from the reduction
in rates for the last thirty years
reaches figures almost incom
prehensible'. This saving was
! not the result of Government
regulation, but was due to the
voluntary action of the railroads.

i • Fite's Record on Free Passes.
In the Journal of the Housp of
Representatives for
>62-', under date of
the following appears:
“By unanimous consdß, Bill of
the House No. 740, inaking it un
lawful for members ofethe Gen
eral Assembly or any Judicial
Officer of the State, to use any
' complimentary or railway pass
or ticket during his term of office,
and .roosts, was |
m ; . m. second
"TlteWne >■ i.u v- rst, on the
■ question of agreeing to the re
port of the committee, which was J
unfavorable to the passage of the .
bill, Mr. Pool called for a viva I
voce vote, which was sustain
ed.” The call /f the roll was
made, and thyvote is as follows,
to-wit: JJTj'iZ’ voting in the af
firmative at/: A. W. Fite and
others;, Everette, Fel
ton, Whaler of Walker and
othersA
The second section of this bill
which Judge Fite helped kill was
as follows: “It shall be unlawful
for any Judge of the Supreme
or Superior Courts of this State
to receive for himself or his fami
ly, either directly or indirectly,
any favor from any railroad
company, or any railroad free
pass, or any like favor from any
telephone, telegraph, or express
company, or like quasipublic
corporation, not enjoyed by the
general public, and any violation
of the provisions of. tliis section
shall be a ground of impeach
ment. ”
From Fite’s speeches one
would think that his soul yearned
for the passage of this bill. But
when the roll was called, he
voted against it and helped kill it.
There was has practice!
When Mr. Lee was a member
of that body a bill was
before it to ma k e it
unlawful for Judges of the Su
preme and Superior courts to
use free transportation, Lee sup
ported it and it became a law. -
Messenger.
That the people of the Seventh
congressional district are not in
symphthy with Candidate Fite
in his greed for office is evidenced
from the fact that of the several
speeches he has made over the
district for the past year, but
few people went out to heat him,
and in some instances ne was un
able to get a corporal's guard,
and therefore
was postponed. Judge Fite is
therefore seemingly anxious to
engage Mr. Lee in one of his
(Fite’s) dirty, mudslinging cam
paigns. Fite knows the people
would come out to hear Lee and
then he could cry aloud that he
was neglecting his congressional
duties to conduct a political cam
paign. Dalton Argus.
