Last V isit to America r i - Lafattt' lust .visit to this country When the time which he had allotted for his tour hud expired, after die had visited every one of the m statesof , Lafayette repnlrwLto Washington to pay his parting respects to the chief magistrate of the nation, John Quincy Adams. This took place at. the I'resl-- . dentlul mansion September 0, 182.5, 98 years ago, and on the sixty-eightanniversary of Lafayettes birth. The farewell address of President Adams In behalf of the whole American people was a most affecting tribute to the lofty character and patriotic services of Lafayette during his long and eventful career, and closed with the 'following words: vns In . 172-l-2.- the-Union- From h M The Supreme Court of the United States said: provided that these two railroads (Central Paeifi Company) should be operated as one continuous lin or against the other . You are ours by that unshaken sen- timent of gratitude for your Pacific S o he t h e r n serv- ices which is a precious portion of oui hee ats (that is. the Pacific Railroad 'Acts) Railroad Company and Union Pacific Railroad ami that neither ilisi riminate In favor of I i , The Central Pacific, with its eastern connection at Ogden, forms one great system of transporta-tto- n between the east and the west, and the Southern l.a the, with its roads and connections and steam boat lines, forms another great transcontinental system for transportation from coast to coast. . . . Tse -- two greatsystehia are nonnaHy competitive fo'r the carrying trade in some parts trorn the east ami middle west to the coast, and for the traffic to and from central and northmoving ern California, including a great volume of ocean-born- e traffic, whi.h lands on the coaSt destined across the continent to the Atlantic seaboard and intermediate westerned eastern points, or is destined from the latter points to foreign ports via Sail Framisco or other Pacific coast points. , The proof is ampleUfhat the policy of the Southern Pacific 'system has been to favor transportation on its lines by securing foi; itself, whenever practicable, the carriage of freight which would normally move eastward or westward over the shorter line of the Central Pacific Railroad ariul for its own much longer and wholly owned southern mute. This course was limited its connections, by an arbitrary" rule during the time the I nion Pacific dominated the Southern Pacitic from the stock purchase in 1901 until the ed 'unmerger1 in 1913, as a re,ull of the decision of this cqrt, in the Union Pacific case, The compelling motive of this course or conduct is obvious. The Southern Pacific owns and controls the southerly route, and receives 100 per cent of the nsatiem for fr'eight transported bv compi its road and water lines.

The com; polling motive of this course of conduct is obvious, The Southern Pacific owns and controls the southerly route, and receives 100 pei: cent of the compensation for freight transported by its road pnd water lines. Over the Central Pacific route it receives but a fraction of the freight because tlie Union Pacific with its eastern connections, takes up the carrying from Ogden to the east. dictates the solicitation and procurement ofj freight for the ANY INTERFER.-ENC- E longer haul by the Southern Pacific lilies.
