DOESN'T LIKE INTERSTATELAW.

CHICAGO, Oct 12-P1 esident Adams OF
the Union Pacific, who was in the city last
evening on his way east, said to a reporter
that he thought the interstate law is
greatly responsible for the Generalization
OF railroad affairs and experience has
shown that it is not based ON sound prin-
ciples. liabilities of roads to make lower
rates on traffic between large commercial
centers and intermediate local points, he
says, has the effect of driving business
away from large points. The prohibition
of pools is leading to general cOnsolida-
ton of the roads. Weaker lines, being
unable to compete with strong lines on
even terms. will be forced out of exist
ence and the strong lines will absorb them.

part:
My friends, the Democratic party pro-
poses revision of the tariff. 1t does not
propose the destruction of the tariff, but it
proposes simply modification OF 1T. Ia
riff revision is not tariff destruction. We
believe that the time has come when the
excessive revenue should be diminished.
We believe that the best and truest inter
ests of our country will be subserved by a
reduction of the present high rate
of taxation. We have suffered long
enough under war taxation and we think
the time has come, the time OF peace, when
war taxation should cease.

tariff policy inaugurated by the president
and followed by the Democrats Of the
house and criticised the Republicans for
