ABOUT REBATES

AGREEMENT WITH SHIPPER
tendent that the car supply for our
works for the movement of our traffic
need not receive undue attention would
be serious Indeed."
Mr. Carnegie men narrates In detail
the interview with President Roberts
and what came of It. ending his nar
rative with the statement: "The Inter
state Commerce Commission is to be
one of our greatest safeguards.''
Mr. Carnegie Is exceedingly optimist
ic an to present and prospective condi
tions. He say's:
The conditions described as prevail
ing in the past in railroad transporta
tion, then still In the formative stage,
nre rapidly being succeeded bya sys
tem finally to become as perfect as is
possible for man to create and main
tain." The President has performed a great
service, focusing the attention of the
country upon certain crying evils, and
the present position of the government
Is all that could be desired. The dead
past is to bury its past."
Promise to r.ar and Breaking
to the Hope Indulged
In.
XKW VOHK. Dec. 8. (Special to the
Record-Herald.) That the state "fhould
oMaln at lcnst half of the millionaire's
old In the shape of death duties and
that the poor should be freed from all
taxation, are two of the statements conr
taincd in Andrew Camesic's latest book,
which will soon be published by Dnuhle
day. Page Co.. and Li entitled. "Prob
lems of Today: Wealth Iabor Social
ism." The work is dedicated to Presi
dent Roosevelt In the following terms:
"I dedicate this book to Theodore
Rooselt. a good and great President,
who has elevated the standard of duty
ln both, public and private life; foremost
nestle of the 'square deal' for all classes
of men; a true man of the people and
a model citizen in example and precept."
K.irly In the book Mr. Carnegie gives
Us views on the taxlnc of estates at
death. "It is difficult." he says, "to set
bounds to the share of a rich man's es
tate which should go at his death to the
public through the agency of the state
and by all means such taxes should be
graduated, beginning at nothing upon
moderate sum to dependents and in
creasing rapidly as the amounts swell,
until of the millionaire's hoard, as of
Fhylock's. at least 'the other half comes
to the privy coffer of the state.'
"This policy would wnk powerfu'ly to
Induce the rich man to attend to the
administration of wealth durln his life,
which Is the end which society should
always have in view, as being by fa- the
most fruitful for the people.
"Nor need it be feared that this policy
would sap the root of enterprise and ren
der men lss anxious to accumulate, for.
to the class whose ambition it is to leave
great fortunes and, be talked about after
3eath. It will be even more attractive
snd. indeed, a somewhat nobler ambition
to have enormous sums paid over to the
state from their fortunes."
Xo Imiosts for Poor.
Mr. Carnegie declares unequivocally
that those whose incomes are only suf
ficient to meet physical wants should not
he subjected to taxation at all. He lays
stress on the theory that liquor or to
bacco, as far as the laboring mau is
concerned, cannot be considered as needs,
n his chapter on "Wealth" he says:
"The dire consequences lesultlng from
(lie use of liquor would Justify much
hleher taxation upon it In the Interest
yf th workers themselves. The gr atest
single evil in Britain today is Intemper
ance. Seven hundred and eighty mil
lion dollars yearly is the drink bill. When
Miie asks himself what would most bene
fit the worker, there Is no hesitation in
the reily to avoid liquor and gambling.
The worklngman who indulges in cither
is. to the extent he docs so. the architect
of his own poverty."
Mr. Carnegie does not believe that the
focialisti." system harmonizes with our
pre-ent home and family i elation. He
says that It attacks or belittles one of
the virtues which, we believe, lie at the
rrot of the progress of our race that
of thrift. He says that most men and
women are born to poverty.at1d specu
lates on the few who are provided for
and free to spend their lives at ease.
"My experience with railway rates and
rebates." is the last chapter In Mr. Car
negie's book.
lie dwells at length on the fight cf the
steel manufacturers at Pittsburg to force
the. Pennsylvania Railroad to give thera
fair rates. He says:
"These were the days when the much-tslked-of
'rebates' had their origin. 'Oen
tlemen's agreement" rates were charged
and the bills of lading wej-e fair and
sounre on the surface, but the under
standing with the shipper was that ' re
bates would be allowed and settled for
at some future time.
Explains Rebate Deceit.
"The ke.-ner members so.-n discovered
that evidence might be cailud for by com
peting lines, and the 'question asked.
Have any rebates been paid on this
shipment?' The party concerned might
be able to say that he had paid none,
but had he been questioned a month or
two afterward perhaps or asked if ad
vantages in other directions had not been
granted to th shipper he could not have
so stated truthfully. In short, every con
ceivable way of keeping the word of
promise to the ear, and breaking It to
the hope was Indulged In.
"Our Carnegie Steel Company had
what it thought the certainty of a con
tract of great value tor material with
fie Newport News Sviirbulld'.ns Com
pany, freight from Pittsburg to New
port News being much less than from
Chlcafeo. The contract, however, went
to Chicago, and upon investigation we
found that the rate even to our Chicago
competitor to Newport News was less
than the Pennsylvania Railroad rate
from Pittsburg, the distance not one
half bo great. President Ingalls. of
the Chesapeake & Ohio, then beginning
his brilliant career, had made the lower
rate for his new line, not yet embraced
In the "gentlemen's agreement.'
"We Investigated and found several
rates of similar nature prevailing to
other points, and having a list of these
made, the writer carried it to President
Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
with a request that he place us. upon
his own line, upon an equality with
manufacturers on other lines. When the
paper was presented- to him, showing
tiie overcharges we labored under, he
pushed It aside, saying: 'I have enough
business of my own to attend to; don't
wish to have anything to do with yours,
Andy."
"I said: 'All right. Mr. Roberts, when
you wish to see me again, you will ask
an interview. Good morning.'
"The situation had become Intoler
able, and we looked about for thj best
means of protecting ourselves. A rail
road line of our own from Pittsburg to
the lakes would be an Invaluable ac
quisition, rendering us Independent of
any monopoly and enabling us to trans
port all our Iron-stone traffic from the
lakes to Pittsburg and our coal and
coke from Pittsburg to the lakes, also
giving us connection with the other
through lines. I purchased the harbor
at Conneaut and a few miles of railroad
with It and .began extending the line to
Pittsburg.
Afraid of Retaliation.
"My partners had good reason to
dread the consequences of the reckless
challenge to the monster monopoly. aniS
I could nut blame them; for it undoubt
edly had the power to cripple our ope-ra-Uonv

How You Should Sneeze.
New York Press.
Why should a person sneeze? Why
does almost every one believe that to
sneeze Is to catch cold? Sneezing is an
explosive expulsion of air through the
nasal passages and mouth: but what
causes it, and what are its results? It
increases the circulation. It clears the
head When you sneeze always hold
your head straight in front. Don't twist
it to the left or right. Never sneeze
over your shoulder. You are liable to
burst a blood vessel. Some say that
sitting In a draft will cause sneezing. In
former davs it was a very polite custom
to take snuff to encourage a sneeze.
Men had their bejeweled snuff boxes
and carrlerTTneir handkerchiefs in their
cuffs. No doubt a sneeze was origin
ally designed to expel irritating mate
rials from the upper air passages. In
the act a powerful expiratory effort Is
made, the vocal cords are kept shut till
the pressure in the chest has risen
high, and air Is then suddenly allowed
to escape upward, being directed Into
the back of the nose T the aoft palate.

LOVES WOULD-BE MURDER
Paris Woman Shows Poglike Fidel
ity to Fiendish Brute.
PARTS, Dec. 5. (Special.) A picture
of a iTrute who can inspire a woman
with doglike fidelity, causing her to
express solicitude for his well-being af
ter hj has nearly murdered her, was
presented In the office of M. Magnien,
the examining magistrate, yesterday.
The brute in question stabbed a man
to death after a dance held in the Rue
de Billancourt in August. He was ar
rested, and the magistrate confronted
him with a witness, who was no other
than Maria Fuchman, his own mistress.
M. Magnien read over certain declara
tions. Believing that the woman had
deposed against him, the ruffian
knocked her down, and before he could
be prevented, began kicking her. He
wns finally dragged from his victim
and led into another office.
The woman was taken before him.
She had scarcely entered the office
when the brute broke loose and, rush
ing" towards her, pinned her against
the door. The next moment his hands
gripped her throat. His intention was
to strangle her, and he had nearly suc
ceeded before being overpowered by
the municipal guards.
As he was being conducted to the
Sante prison, handcuffed, the woman,
though black in the face and gasping
for breath, begged the guards not to
harm him.
"Treat him kindly. I beg you," she
cried. "I love him always."

for exit only.
Tf.r 4i, o inciallnHnii of this tvne of car

cause of the size of the car and the fact
that the conductor is not compelled, in
collecting fares, to pass frequently through
the car to the annoyance of the passengers;
safer because the conductor will remain on

PORTLAND RAILWAY, LIGHT 8 POWER COMPANY
ASK FOR VAST SUM
Fifty Millions Wanted for River
and Harbor Work.
NEED FIXED FUND YEARLY
Waterways Congress Will Vrge Na
tional liotfy to Make Large Ap
propriation to Carry on
Projects Xext Year.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUERAIT, Wash
ington Dec. 8. There is every indica
tion that Congress will pass a liberal
river and harbor bill before the clos
of the short session, March 4 next. It
is customary to pass a river and harbor
bill once in two years. There was none
at the last session; therefore there will
be one at the approaching regular ses
sion. It is necessary that this bill should
be passed during the Winter; otherwise
work on many great projects will cease.
Data Already on Hand.
The House committee on rivers and
harbors, that frames river and harbor
bills, will be ready to begin operations
as soon as Congress convenes, and It is
probable that, by holding dally sessions,
the committee will be able to report
soon after the holiday recess.
All necessary data on which to base
the new bill is in the hands of the com
mittee, or will be there the first of De
cember, for the Army Engineers, during
the past two years, have been making
surveys and estimates for new work
and for the continuation of projects now
under way. These reports have all been
completed and under the rule now in
force all river and harbor projects are
based solely upon the findings and rec
ommendations of the engineer officers.
That Is to say, no work is authorized
by Congress unless the engineers rec
ommend it and no appropriations are
made in excess of their estimates.
Before reporting the bill, the river and
harbor committee will probably give
hearings to Congressmen who are inter
ested In various works in their districts,
but these hearings will be effective only
as they support the recommendations of
the engineer officers.
W'ant Fixed Sum Yearly.
No Congressman will be able to go be
fore the committee and get an appro
priation for a project that has been turned
down by the Army Engineers; nor can he
get an appropriation for a project that
has never been examined by them. The
most that can be hoped for in such cases
Is authorization of surveys, such as are
made in every- river and harbor bill.
About the time that Congress convenes
the National River and Harbor Con
gress, an unofficial commercial organiza
tion., will hold its annual session in
Washington and will renew its old rec
ommendation that Congress change Its
policy by breaking away from the pres
ent custom of appropriating for rivers
and harbors every two years, and adopt
ing the fixed policy of setting aside
$50,000,000 annually for waterway im
provement. The River and Harbor Con
gress contends that the improveruent of
inland waterways can be carried ahead
more economically and more effectually
If a fixed amount la appropriated, every
year. This would guarantee continuous
work on all projects, until completed,
and would obviate the losses that an
nually occur when work is stopped be
cause money runs out.
Clamor for Fifty Million.
I'p to the present time the River and
Harbor Congress has never made any
impressslon upon the National Congress
and it may not succeed this year, but it
will be on hand to clamor for "rrf.000.009
a year," and members of the unofficial
congress will do their utmost with mem
bers of the National Congress to secure
favorable consideration of their views.
Fifty million dollars a year is more than
Congress has ever appropriated for rivers
and harbors, but not much In excess of
recent years, for the last river and har
bor bill carried upwards of $SO,000,000. or
more than $40,000,000 a year for the two
years provided for in its various items.
But whatever form the river and har
bor bill may take, it is almost certain to
pass, and its aggregate appropriation
will approach the figure asked for by
the National River and Harbor Con
gress. ,
GIRL'S DREAM WINS $72,000
Draws Lottery Prize and Notoriety
Attracts Police to Crimes.
MILAN. Dec. 5. (Special.) A good
story is reported from Turin. Some
daxs ago Rosa Tirone, a domestic serv
ant in the employ of Dr. Cocilo, distin
guished lawyer and ex-member of Par
liament, dreamt that she was at a
well drawing water. Suddenly her dead
sweetheart appeared and said to her:
"I remember thy love and want to re
ward thee for it. Put these numbers
In the Royal lottery. Thou shalt win."
He then gave Tirone certain numbers
which she used In the manner suggest
ed, and induced her mistress to take a
chance also. The result was astonish
ing. Four of the numbers were drawn
and Tirone won $72,000, while her mis
tress who had wagered a smaller sum
gained $6000.
Naturally all the Italian newspapers
reported the event, about which a con
siderable fuss was made. Still more
startling, however, was the sequel. On
reading the name Tirone in the papers
the police remembered that the young
girl had several accounts open with
justice. She had in fact had four sen
tences pronounced against her, amount
ing to a total of five years' penal serv
itude for theft and swindling. So,
amidst the glory and Interviews and
the happiness of riches, she was arrested.
HUNTING IS EXPENSIVE
Annual Cost of Keeping Hounds in
England Is $2,500,000.
LONDON, Dec. 5. (Special.) The cost
of hunting in the United Kingdom
amounts to more than $1 $.250,000 per an
num, said Mr. Howard Martin in his
presidential address to the Surveyors'
Institution in London the other day.
"There are in the kingdom." he added,
"about 450 hunting establishments, and,
according to published statistics, the cost
of maintaining all the stag and fox
hounds amounts to $2,500,000 a year. Tho
cost of the hunters kept in connection
with the various packs ' amounts to at
least $15.750.oiK per annum. In some of
the counties the hounds are out once a
week on the average, but in the most
fashionable counties this average ia
greatly exceeded. The material benefits
conferred directly and indirectly on the
rural districts by hunting are consider
