Creek Bridge at $15,385
ALL CONCRETE AND STEEL
First ThongHt $6,000 Would Defray
Cost Plan Will be Revised to
lleet Tfiat Sam
Six thousand dollars is the sum
which was generally considered to be
su indent to meet the cost of erecting
a new concrete-steel bridge over
Deer Creek ,in connection with the
projected street paving. Hut, accord
ing to the estimate of Engineer
Frank C. Kelsey, such a bridge as
figured on by the city council and a
number of Interested property own
ers will cost $15,385, a difference of
$9,385. Engineer Kelsey's estimate,
which, together with the plans, was
received this morning by Mayor
Hoover, follows in itemized form:
Concrete masonry flt.SOO
Steel re-inforcement ........ 3, GOO
Bltulithlc pavement 1.4 10
Filling 1120
Excavating 2 25
Total $13
3S.r
The result of this estimate will be
that Mr. Kelsey will ho requostel to
prepare plaus for a cheaper bridge.
As originally outlined, the bridge
was to be' entirely of steel and con
"crete, and the council was led to be
lleve that such a structure could be
built for $(i,000 at the most. This
idea ts dispelled, however, by Mr.
Kelsey's figures, the reliability of
which cannot be questioned.
In his plans. Engineer Kelsey has
drafted a bridge that would be a
credit to the biggest city in the
country, both as to solidity and style,
but the City of Hoseburg could not
afford Buch a structure at the pres
ent time. Out of the street paving
fund not over $3,500 will be left to
help defray the cost of a bridge, and
the difference between this sum and
Mr. Kelsey's estimate would have to
be defrayed out of the general fund
of the city, which just now is In a
much depleted condition and will be
until the revenue from the genera!
tax levy and licenses begins to ac
cumulate next March. The council
had expressed Its willingness, how
ever, to add from the city's general
fund to the residue of the paving
fund enough to pay for a $6,000
bridge. It Is still believed that for
such an amount good serviceable
bridge can be built, although some of
it will have to be woodwork. The
foundation will certainly be of con
crete, and the main frame of steel,
but the flooring and railings will
have to be of wood instead of steel
and cement, as shown In Mr. Kel
sey's plans. Some definite action
will doubtless be taken on the mat
ter at the next meeting of the coun
cil. For the irood of those 3uuori;i4

MARSHFIELD, Or., Aug. 24.
Marshfield is more determined than
ver to secure a railroad into inter
ior Oregon. Tonight's session of the
.Southern Oregon and Idaho Congress
was the largest public meeting ever
Held on Coos Hay.
Governor Chamberlain direct
from a conference with E. II. Harri
iiiiiii at Pelican Hay Lodge, could of-
very little eucoui agemeut that
he Drain-Coos Hay railroad would
1)0 built.
According to Gov. Chamberlain,
Mr. Ilarrimnn said he would build
he road some day, but not now; that
he did not have the money to build
this road: that construction of the
road Into Central Oregon would take
ill the funds available for railroad
onstruction in Oregon for several
years to come.
This bit of news makes the busi
ness men of Marshlleld and Coos Hay
more determined than ever to offer
ncouragenient to Independent road
builders. Marshfield will pledge a
good round sum in stock subscrip
tions and no stone will be left un
turned until a rail outlet to the Wil
lamette valley is a thing of reality.

Tonight's meeting was addresvu
by Judge Lowell, of Pendleton, and
Colonel E. Hofer. of Salem, presi
dent of the Willamette Valley Devel
opment League. Dr. J. T. McCor-

Chamber of Commerce, delivered tin
iddress of welcome.
Sessions will be held tomorrow
morning, when permanent organiza

Congress will be effected, and work

Any reference by the speakers ti

Mate's Notification
DEFINES HIS PARIY'S STAND
Record ot Republican Administration
Cited to Show Insincerity
of Promises
Special to the Evening Review.
INDIANAPOLIS, lnd., Aug. 25.
lohn W. Kern was formally notified
today of his nomination for vice-
president on the democratic ticket.
The notification ceremonies took
place at the state fair grounds nnd
was witnessed by several thousand
ueople. The chief feature of the oc
casion was a speech delivered by
Wm. J. Uryan on the trust question.
In accordance with the request of
Mr. Kern, who dislikes display, there
was an utter absence of pomp in ln
llanapolis. There was no general
decoration of the business houses,
and the only noteworthy event pre
liminary to the notification was a
parade of automobiles to the fair
grounds. The leading automobile
curried W. J. Hryan, Mr. Kern,
Theodore A. Hell, of California.
Uiairmnn of the notification com
nittee. nnd Norman K. Mack, the nu
Monal campaign manager. Thomas
Taggart presided over the ceremonies
at the fair grounds.
After Mr. Hell's notification speech
Mr. Kern responded in acceptance,
and in conclusion paid a high tribute
to Mr. Hryan, saying he was under
no obllgatlou to the trusts and free
to serve the people.
When Mr. Bryirn appeared on the
Platform he was given a tremendous
ivatlon. He spoke, in part, as fol
lows: Mr. llryun's Speech,
Nowhere does the republican party
show Its Indifference to real reform
more than in Its treatment of the
rust question. Here is the republi
;an platform:
"The republican party passed the
Sherman anti-trust law over demo
firatle opposition and enforced U af-
'or democratic dereliction. It has
been a wholesome Instrument for
jood In the hands of a wise and far
'ess administration. Hut experience
ha shown that Its effectiveness can
he strengthened and its real objects
better attained by such amendments
as will give to the federal govern
inent greater supervision and control
over, and secure greater publicity in
the management of that class of cor
mirations engaged In Interstate' com
merce, having power nnd opportunity
to affect monopolies.
The Sherman anti-trust law was
passed eighteen years ago; It has a
- ii in I n 11 1 clause which provides a
penitentiary punishment for those
who conspire together In restraint of
trade. Kver since the enactment of
the law. with the exception of four
vears. the republican party haB eon-
trolled the executive department of
the government, and during two
a of the four. It controlled the
house of representatives. Instead of
democratic dereliction, the demo
cratic party has been urging, jrear
;ilter year, the strict enforcement of
that law, and the republican party
has been explaining year after year
why It Is Impossible to enforce it
Instead of being a "wholesome In
One of ihe
Essentials
of the happy homes of to-day ts a vast
fund of information an to the best methods
of promoting health and happiness and
right living and knowledge of the world's
best products.
I'roducU of actual excellence and
reasonable claims truthfully presented
and which have attained to world-wide
acceptance through the approval of the
Well-informed of the World; not of indi-
vidual.i only, hut of the many who have
the happy faculty of selecting and obtain
ing the best the world afford.
One of the products of that clans, of
known component parts, an Ilthical
remedy, approved by physician and coin-
mended by the Well-informed of the
World a a valuable and wholesome family
laxative is the well-known Syrup of Figs
and FJixir of Senna. To get its leneficial
effecU always- buy the genuine, maiiu
fact u red by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, and for sale by all leading drugiU
strument for good," it has been al
most useless, so far as the protec
tion of the public is concerned, for
the trusts have grown lu number, In
strength and in arrogance, at the
very line when the republican party
was boasting of Us enforcement of
the law. The steel trust was formed
Immediately after the election of
lyou, and a prominent republican
said. In a speech soon after, that it
might have prevented a republican
victory if it had been formed before
the election.
Most of the trusts have never been
disturbed, and those that have been
prosecuted have not had their busi
ness seriously interrupted. Tho presi
dent has done something toward the
enforcement of the law, but not near
ly enough, and the republican lead
ers have. thwarted him at every noint.
Finally the president becnuti-- so ex
asperated that he sent to congress a
message which shocked republican
leaders by the fierceness of its denun
ciation of the predatory Interests.
The very convention thai; spoke in its
platform of the administration as "a
wise and fearless one," was composed
largely of the senators and members
of congress who boldly opposed ev
ery effort to free the people from
the clutches or the favor-seoklng cor
porations. The republican platform says that
experience has shown that the effect
iveness of the anti-trust law could
be strengthened by amendments
which will give the federal govern
ment greater supervision and control
over, and greater publicity ub to, the
management of those Interstate com
merce corporations which have the
power and opportunity to affect mon
opolies. That Is all. No pointing
out of remedies; no outlining of a
plan for more effective legislation
simply a general statement tnnt
nromlses nothing In particular.. And
Mr. Taft's speech of acceptance is
even weaker than the platform. He
Ives no evidence of having studied
the question or of compiehendlng the
Iniquities of a monopoly. You look
in vain In his notification Bpeech for
any sign of indignation at what the
trusts have been doing or ror evi
dence of zeal in their prosecution
He has. for several years, been the
intimate official companion of the
president, but he has caught none ol
the fire which the president manifest
ed In his message of last January.
If, in the presence of an aroused
neonle. and in the heat or a cam
natgn, the republican party content
itself with a colorless piaiiorm on
this subject, what can we expect lu
the way or activity when the exigen
cies of the campaign are passed'.' If.
when Mr. Taft Is appealing to tin
Roosevelt renubllcans. his dlscussloii
of the subject Is so lifeless and his
manner so apologetic and apathetic,
what reason have wa to expect enner
vliror in the enforcement of the law
or earnestness in the search for ad
ditional remedies?
In his Btieech delivered about
year ago announcing his candidacy
Mr. Taft suKeKHted thai im present
law be so amended as to permit "rea
sonable" restraint of trade. Such an
amendment would be as absurd as an
amendment to the law against burg
larv liniitlnK the law to cases In
which more than two burglars en
tered the house at one time or took
more than half they found. In his
notification sneech he suggests ua
tional incorporation, a remedy which
would make conditions worse ne
cause, without adding to the powei
of congress to prevent monopolies, it
would deprive the stateB of the power
to protect their own people.
Now. et me contrast me demo
cratic platform with the republican
platform. Nowhere is the difference
in the temper of the parties more
noticeable; nowhere Is the difference
in the method of dealing with ques
tions more manifest. Our platform
says:
A private monopoly is mueiens-
Iblu and Intolerable. We therefore
favor the vigorous enforcement of
the criminal law against guilty trust
magnates and officials, and demanil
the enactment of such additional leg
islation as may be necessary to make
It tmnossible for a private monopoly
to exist In the United Slates. Among
the additional remedies, we specify
three: First, a law preventing a dup
lication of directors among compet
ing coriKratlons; second, a llceime
system which will, without abridging
the right of each state io create cor
porations, or Its rlghi to reguiate as
It T.III foreign corporauous ikmiik
hufdnesB within Kb limits, make It
necessary for a manufacturing or
trading corporation engaged In In
terstate commerce to take out a fed
eral license before It shall le per
mitted to control as much as twenty-
five per cent of the product In which
It deals, the license to protect the
public from watered stocK ami io
prohibit the control by such corpora
tion of more than nuy per v-m
the total amount of any product con-
aurnerl in the lotted ritaies; aim.
third, a law compelling Rinh licensed
coriwratlons to sell to all purchas
ers in all parts of the rounlry on the
same terms, after making due al
lowance for cost of transportation.
Here Is a plain, candid stafment
of the party's pod'lon. Tfcere Is no
t,iiMiMinj;. no evasion, no ambiguity.
A pii.aie monoiMtlv U Indefemtlhle
and Intolerable. It Is bub -had In
principle, and bad In prat tire. No
apology tnn be offenf) for it, and no
tHople s'lould endure It

Ptlen, namely. tb rrpnna' of the

with trust made goods. Hi In, we 1h-
lieve would greatly lessen the extor
tion practiced by the trusts and
bring about the dissolution of many
monopolistic combines. Hut we are
not satisfied merely with the lessen
ing of extortion or with the dissolu
tion of bo me of the trusts.
Hccause the private monopoly ts
Indefensible and intolerable, the
democratic party favors its extermin
ation. It pledges Itself to the vigor
ous enforcement of the criminal law
against trust magnates nnd officials.
It ts impossible for the republican
party to enforce tho present criminal
law against trust officials; these of
ficials are intimately connected with
the republican party In the present
ampaign. lake, for Instance, the
chairman of the republican speaker's
committee, Mr. Oupont, of Delaware.
He Is the defendant In a suit which
the government brought and is now
prosecuting. Mr. Dupout Is charged
with violation of the nnti-trust law.
Why should he be put on the execu
tive committee and then be given
control of ttie speaking pari of the
campaign? If yon talk to a repuoll-
an leader about penitentiary punish
ment for offenders, ho favors fining
the corporation on the ground that It
is Impossible to convict Individuals,
but when you urge fines you are told
that tines are unjust to innocent
stockholders. We favor both fine
and imprisonment, but we think It
is better to prevent monopolies than
to first authorize them to prey upon
the public and then try to punish
them for doing so. Mr. Taft favors
lontrol of trusts instead of exter
mination," but after years of expert
ence tho people have learned that
the trusts control the government
Our platform does not stop with
'he enforcement of the law; It de
mands the enactment of such ndtll
tlonnl legislation as may be necessary
to make It Impossible for a private
monopoly to exist In the United
Statrs.
The democratic party doeH not con
tent Itself with a definition of Ihe
wrong or with a denunciation of it.
!t proceeds to outline remedies. The
first is a law preventing a duplication
f)f directors' among competing corpor
ations. No one can object to this
remedy unless he Is in sympathy
with the trusts. There is no easier
way of stifling competition than to
make one board of directors serve
'or a number of competing corpora
tions. It is not necessary for cor
loratlons to enter Into nn agree
ment for the restraint of trade If t in
corporation can, without violating
'aw. reach the same end by electing
'he same directors.
"The second remedy Is one upor
vhlch 1 desire to dwell at some
length. We believe It to be n simple,
complete nnd easily enforced remedy.
-s stated In the platform It Is:
"A ll'-euse system which will,
without abridging the right of each
state to create corporations doing
husiuess within Its limits, make it
necessary for a manufacturing or
'ratling corporation engaged In in
terstate commerce to take out a fed
eral license before It shall be per
mitted to control as much as 25 per
?etit of Ihe product In which It deals,
'he license to protect the public fro.u
watered slok nnd to prohlhlt the
onlrol by su h corporation of more
'ban f0 per cent of the total amount
of any product consumed in tho
United Stales."
it will he noticed, In the first
place, that care was taken by those
who drew the platform to provide
that there should be no abridgement
of the right of a state to create cor
porations, or of Its right to regulate
as It will foreign corporations doing
business within lis HmHs. This
plan, therefore, does not In the least
infringe upon the right of Ihe states
to protect their own people. It simp
ly provides for the exorcise by con
gress tif the power vented In It to
iregulale interstate commerce. As
long as a corporation confines Itself
to the state lu which It Is created.
congress cannot interfere wllh it; but
when the corporation engages In In
terstate commerce, congress Is the
only power that can regulate Its In
terstate business.
I have quoted and re-quoted Mr.
Taft's language because I want to
