colonization of the Western country is
going to be materially retarded If rail
roads between Chicago and the Pacific
Coast carry out a plan which has been
advanced by executive officials. A
proposition has received the approval
of nearly every Tallroad in tha West
ern Passenger--Association .to--abolish
all low or reduced rates after Janu
ary 1. 190. '-- -..."...
This determination has been reached
because of the alarm felt over the -reduction
in net passenger revenues of
Western roads This reduction la laid
at the door of reduced rateB, and genu
ine alarm la felt lor the future. Rail
road officials- declare that with the 2
cent rate, generally there can be no re
duced rates without passing the mar
gin of profit;- . -
It Is estimated that Western ' roads
have lost this seasoa several millions
of dollars in passenger revenues, com
pared wtttt -what they' would have en
joyed had they maintained a minimum
2-cent rate west of Chicago. This con-1
elusion Is based upon careful statistic
prepared by the Alton and other rail
roads, 'which, show that railroads have
carried more passengers than ever, but
at a less net revenue than accrued
from- a smaller movement. This can
mean only one thing, it Is said, and
that Is the return of a minimum 2-cent
rate everywhere, .
It Is not expected that this change
can be brought about until the first
of the year, but it now seems certain
that. If . the public desires reduced
rates, they can be had only by a re
turn to the" 8 -cent basis.

Secretary Garfield Says Predecessor
Complies With Law.
-WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. Secretary of
the Interior Garfield made a statement
concerning relations o fformer Secretary
Hitchcock with the issue of leases author
izing the Prairie Oil & Gas Company to
lay pipe lines through Indian lands in Ok.
lahoma. The records of his department.
he declared, show very clearly that Secre
tary Hitchcock simply complied with an
act of Congress authorizing the construc
tion of pipe lines and that nowhere, he
declared, is there any record or other evi
dence that the President at any time
either overruled Mr. Hitchcock or was at
variance with him In the course he pur
sued in the Issuance of the permits.
Mr. Garfield declared that the depart
ment had never discriminated against
nor In favor of any person dr corporation
in the granting of these leases, and that
the Prairie Oil & Gas Company was dealt
with exactly as wre others who applied
for the right to lay pipe lines. About 2

trust. I had known him as a leader
in the constitutional convention of
Oklahoma and had known hlra as one
of the men mainly responsible for the
excellent constitution which has since
been adopted, and adopted by a ma
jority of U'J.ObO. 70.000 of which was
furnished by Republicans. I had
known his election to the Governor
ship of that, great young state by a
majority- of some 30.000; I hsd known
that the constitution was adopted and
that Governor Haskell was elected in
spite of the efforts of your adminis
tration and in spite of the speeches
made in Oklahoma by Mr. Taft. t.
Wky Did Not Taft Expose Him f
You' say that it was a matter of
common notoriety that Mr. Haskell was
connected with the Standard Oil Com
pany, I have a right to assume that,
if so serious an objection had existed
to Mr. Haskell's election and had been
a matter of common notoriety In Ohio,
as you say,- Judge Taft would have
felt It his conscientious duty to warn
the people of Oklahoma when he spoke
there, if he did not have the knowl
edBe.. wny can It be assumed that I
had it? . Ar.d if he had It. how can you
excuse his failure to communicate the
Information to the people of Oklahoma?
If you leel It your patriotic duty to
denounce Mr. Haskell when he Is only
a member nf the National organization,
how much more would Mr. Taft have
felt it his patriotic duty to denounce
Mr. Haskell when he was aspiring to
be the chief executive of a great state?
Knew Nothing ef Standard Suit.
I could have had no knowledge of
the suit to which you refer when he
was appointed chairman of the resolu
tions committee of the Democratic Na
tional convention, because the suit was
begun while he was at Denver and, as
a matter of fact, I did not know any
thing of the nature of the suit until
after he - was made treasurer of the
National committee, and no fair-minded
person can decide upon the merits
of your, charge without an examina
tion Dt the provisions of the enabling
act passed by the Republican Congress
and the provisions of the license of
franchises Issued to the oil company
by your administration. -
I need hardly refer to the newly
found evidet ce upon which you lay so
much stress, viz: The article in the
Outlook of September 5. My attention
was never called to that article until
I read the published copy of your letter
and, while I have great respect for the
iuiiiook anu i suppose 1 nave ror the
writer altnough you do not give his
name), I would, hardly feel justified in
deciding as promptly as you do on an
ex -parte, statement, without Investiga
tion. -
Yon present an Indictment against
our platform declarations on the trust
question, but "you do not refer to all of
tne plan and do not deal justly with
those to which you do rerer. Our plat
form declares in favor of the vigorous
enforcement of the criminal law
against guilty trust magnates and of
. ficials. Your platform does not con
tain nny such demand. Will you say
that your platform Is better than ours
in that respect? Our platform demands
that corporations beyond a certain size
be compelled 10 sell, at the same price
in all parts of the country, due allow
ance being made for the cost of trans-
r'ortatiou. Will you deny that this is
n the interest of the consumer and in
the Interest ef the smaller competitor?
Allowed Steel Tnut Gobble.
We present a plan under which no
corporation win be permitted to con
trol more than one-half of the total
product. It has been stated that the
Steel Comt any, with your express con
sent, i pureliased one of lis largest
rivals and thus obtained control of
more tnan per cent of the total out
put. Will you Insist that in permitting
this you showed less- favor to the
monopolistic corporations than I do In
opposslr.g tnem? You quote at length
from , a speech . made by Governor
Hughes in winch he ridicules one of
our anti-tcust remedies. Is this the
same Govtrr.or Hutfliea who was
counted as one of- the "allies" who
endestvored to detoat Mr. Tsft when,
as you Insisud, Mr. Taft represented
the "reformers" of your party and his
opponents the reactionary element?
Iiid not Governor Hughes have the
support of the New York delegation in
the. convention, and is not New York
the home of many Republicans most
conspicuous in their connection with
the law-defying corporations?

mind.
that I will enforce against aim the
present criminal law and will enforce
against him also the laws demanded In
the Democratic platform as soon as
those laws can be enacted.
Publishing Campaign Funds.
But there is another fact which
raises a presumption in favor of our
party and against your party. I re
ferred to It in my former letter to you,
but you inadvertently overlooked it in
your reply, and the members of your
Cabinet, called In for consultation, evi
dently did not notice It. I stated that
we had not knowingly received a dol
lar from any official connected with a
corporation known as a trust and that
any money so received would be re
turned as soon as we received knowl
edge of the fact.. I now remind you
that your convention deliberately re
jected, by a vote of 9 to 1; the plank
favoring publicity as to campaign con
tributions. Mr. Taft has repudiated
the action of the convention and re
buked the members of the convention
by declaring himself In favor of a
publicity law, but he favors publicity
after the election, while we favor pub
licity before the election. Which do
you regard as the better plan to let
the people know before the election
what influences are at work or to let
them know after the election?
Cballesea Htm to Publicity.
Are you willing to say that any pub
lic Interest was served In 1904 by con
cealing until after the election the con
tributions made to the Republican
campaign committee by Mr. Harrlman
anad those collected by him from oth
ers? Are you willing to say that the
publication before the election of the
contributions then made would have
no effect on the election? As I have
said, we shall publish the names of
contributors above $100. Will you ask
your National Committee to publish
before the election the contributions
above $100? Or, If you regard this as
too small a sums the contributions
above $1000? Or, If this also is too
small, the contributions above $10,000?
If not. what reason can you give to the
public for not doing so? I Insist that
our willingness to let the public know
the sources from which we receive con
tributions raises a presumption in our
favor that must be overcome before
you can ask the people to accept your
statement that the law-defying cor
porations have more to fear from Re
publican success than from a Demo
cratic victory.
Compares Owl Record vrlth Tart's.
In conclusion you say that you ask
support for Mr. Taft because he stands
for the moral uplift of the Nation, be
cause bis deeds have made good his
words, and because the policies to
which he Is committed are of immeas
urable consequence alike to the honor
and the interests of the whole Ameri
can people.
I dare to compare my efforts for the
moral uplift of the Nation with his
efforts, my deeds with his deeds and
the policies to which 1 am committed
with the policies to which he is com
mitted and. more than that, if I may
assume that he will follow in your
footsteps I dare compare my ideal of
the Presidency with his. I do not re
gard It as proper for the President to
use his prestige, his Influence or his
patronage to aid one member of his
party as airamst another who aspires
to office, and I regard It as a viola
tion of the . obligation that the Presi
dent owes to the whole people as a
party asset for the advancement of a
personal friend and a political protege.
- Believing thfet the President should
not be tempted to use that power for
his own advantage, and It is equally
repugnant to the spirit of our institu
tions thst he should use It for any one
else's advantage, I tried to secure an
amendment to the Constitution limit
ing the President to a single term, and
I nave announced in three campaigns
that, if elected. I would not be a can
didate for renomlnatlon.
: believe the occupant of so high an
office, with such enormous power at
his command 'should be absolutely free
to devote himself unselfishly to his
permits to lay pipe lines have been
granted by the department In connection
with the Indian lands in Oklahoma. Ia
no case, he said, had there been any In
terference with the laws of Oklahoma.
Secretary Garfield said:
"The statement of Governor Haskell
that he protested against any action of
the Interior Department, implying tha
the Interior Department was attempting
to grant a franchise In opposition to tha
rights of the State of Oklahoma, la un
true, for no such protest was ever re
ceived nor was the Interior Department
attempting to take any such action."
Secretary Loeb also stated that the
company had been granted no privilege
that any other company could not have
obtained. The President had nothing to
say regarding Senator Foraker's statement.

At his hotel today, Mr. Hisgen smiled

"I am not surprised." said Mr. Hisgen.
"I predicted in my speeches at Oklahoma

After Conference With Bryan, Ex

CHICAGO, Sept. 26. Governor C. N.
Haskell, no longer treasurer of the Dem

way back to Guthrie, Okla., after a 45
mlnutes conference with W. J. Bryan. At
his desk In Democratic headquarters sits
J. B. Doolln, the assistant treasurer, on
whom the routine business of the office
will fall.
Mr. Haskell went to the train alone.
His hurried departure, he said, was due
to the necessity of hfs presence at the
State Capitol on Monday when the State
Tax Board meets. Asked if he would
prosecute those who had made charges
against him, he wrote in answer:
"Read the law. Tou will then know the

He had asked, he said, that his resigna

CHICAGO, Sept 28 (Special.) If

The semi-monthly report of the com

during the past two weeks, there has
been a reduction in the number of idle
cars of 49,045. Of this decrease nearly
28,000 are in box cars and over 18,000
In coal and gondola cars.
The greatest improvement was
shown in the Nesv England states and
in the Northwest. In the former ter
ritory the surplus in box cars has al
most disappeared and some roads ac
tually have a shortage.
In the Northwest the movement or

WATERLOO, la., Sept. 2. The
second day of Mr. Taft's tour of Iowa
began with a ehort address by the
candidate to an immense crowd at Cedar
Rapids before 8 o'clock. The carrying
power of the candidate's voice was still
notably deficient. In explaining his con
dition. Mr. Taft told the crowd that it
was because "I talked yesterday to one
hundred and twenty-five thousand good
Iowa Republicans."
It was, he added, very trying not to be
able to impart his ideas satisfactorily to
the big crowds that greeted him, but he
expressed the keenest appreciation of the
compliments shown him by the presence
of the great crowds and their enthu
siasm, x
Exchanges Jokes With Crowd.
When he had concluded at Oedar
Rapids his review of the duties of good
citizenship, which, he said, included the
selection of Government agents who had
been tried and found satisfactory rather
than those who made promises and
prophecies which time universally proved
unsound, he was requested to face tne
crowds on all four .sides of the raised
platform from which he spoke. As he
did this, he remarked with a smile:
"I feel like a performing bear."
"Well," was the retort from the crowd,
"we are going to give you the ribbon
all right."
"That's what I want," rejoined the can
didate. "I want Iowa to show the good
sense of her men and women by rolling
up a hundred thousand Republican ma
jority, which I believe she will do."
Another big crowd awaited the special
at Vinton, and from the rear platform
ta candidate made a brief talk and was
heartily cheered. Waterloo's- reception
was another big affair, and here, too,
the crowd was damonstratlve.
Panics and Their Cure.
In his speech at Vinton, which gives a
good idea of Mr. Taft's shdrt talks, he
spoke as follows:
"I only want to say to those who
are farming that they are in a very
comfortable situation with reference to
their crops and their prices. That If
they will look back 12 years they will
find a situation under the Gorman
Wilson tariff bill that was not quite
so comfortable, when prices went down
to half of what they are now, and
then a panacea was proposed that we
Just cut down half our debts by acts
of Congress, and having thus paid off
half, we go on and struggle with the
remainder. Instead of that, which was
the recommendation of the gentleman
who is now my opponent, you went
ahead and pursued the honest policy
of paying debts In the coin In which
you had contracted them and honestly
proved to be the best policy. With
that and with the adoption of the
Dlngley tariff we got such prosperity
as was never known lnthls country.
"We have had a panic. We got too far
spread out and In business circles and
in labor circles that panic is hurting. But
we are on the up grade. And if we can
only keep the confidence of those men
who control capital so that railroads may
borrow money, so that corporations en
gaged in industrial enterprles may borrow
money, prosperity will come again. But,
my friends, I ask you heart to heart, if
you were alone in business would you
select a gentleman as your agent, put
ting out a man who had served you
well, or would you select a gentleman
as your agent to bring about confidence
who had made recommendations for 12
years with respect to economic systems
and economic plans and short cuts and
nostrums of prosperity" every one of
which has been refuted by events? I be
lieve the people of Iowa are a level-headed
people. I believe when they see
do you care
to look "flashy"
or refined?
If you are wearing clothes, that are made to
vour measure bv a tailor that knows his busi
ness, you feel not only the comfort of a good-fitting
garment, but the assurance that your clothes
do not have the cheap hand-me-down appearance
that characterizes so many would-be dressers.
T There's an individuality about Columbia Tai
" lored clothes that has. popularized them with
well-dressed men men who desire something gen
teel yet strictly up to the minute in style. None
of the baggy cheap appearance "goes" with good
dressers.
g"We have been making clothes for the same men
for three years. They come back to us every
season for their clothes. It's the satisfaction they
have received at our hands that has kept them
coming.

a good, thing they know it, and
I believe they next November will
show their common sense, will show
that they are still standing where they
have always stood, for good government,
for progressive government, by voting
the Republican ticket and again bring
ing about prosperity."
Pays Compliments to Gompers.
To an audience composed of labor
ing men at Waterloo, Mr. Toft paid
his compliments to Samuel Gompers in
the following vigorous language:
Samuel Gompers has already deliv
ered the votes to the Democratic party
and that makes it rather hopeless for
one who Is struggling for the Repub
lican party to deal at all with the labor
question. He seems to have removed
it from doubt by carrying the vote in
his pocket. He leaves no place outside
for me. Now, I venture to think that
the laboring men of this country think
for themselves and have an Intelli
gence that enables them to take their
own judgment as to the party and the
candidate whom they select. It Is
rather a cheap method of attacking a
candidate to say that he is opposed to
labor; that he is In favor of oppressing "
and tyrannizing labor and that he has
nothing in his heart that sympathises
with labor. The only way you can
meet that is to say that It Is not so,
and that is what I do say. I yield to
no man in my sympathy with labor as
a class In Its effort to organize to make
it properly powerful In the community,
to maintain its equality and Its level
in the struggle for life and in dealing
with capital on those Issues where Its
Interests and those of capital are opposed.
