very heavy.
The battalion soon exhausted its am

FIGHT FOR THE CANTEEN.
War Department Will Not Submit to
Court Decision.

Washington, June 19.-It is improo-
able that the war department will ac-
cept as final the decision OF the Penn
sylvania state court declaring that the
army canteen is subject 10 state taxa
ton. The officer in Charge of the can
teen at Camp Meade appealed ID the
war department for assistance in de-
Tending the case. and the ieparcment,
approving of his application. trans
mitted it to the department of Justice,
with the request that an officer OF that
department be assigned for the pur-
pose. It is believed the decision was
rendered before the defense could be
prepared.
The principle involved is regarded as
important, and il il; significant that the
Pennsylvania decision is. directly In
conflict with the formal opinion CT the
court of claims in the case involving
the canteen. That court decided that
the canteen was "one of the instrumen-
talities of government" and. therefore,
exempt from taxation.

SAYS IT is A POLITICAL DODGE
THE PROPOSED ANTITRUST
CONVENTION AT ST. LOUIS.
Governor Rogers of Washington Re
fuses to Attend and Gives His
Reasons For So Doing.

st. Louis. Mo-, June IA special to
the Republic from Austin, Tex, says:
Governor Sayers today received a let
ter from Governor Rogers of Washing

convention at st. Louis. He presents
-ss<n5reasona 81 thessfutiewtnf lettsr:
I'm reply TO your invitation. allow me
to say thatst will be impossible for me
TO attend. VT has occurred to me in
this connection that many people are
advocating state control of trusts with
insincerity, thinking in this way to
pass through the next ne uonal cam
paign with safety to themselves, feel
ing sure that whatever state leeisla-
tion may be enacted which Will really
curb the power of the trusts, VIII even
tually be declared unconstitutional by
the United States supreme court With
those who thus, and for that purpose.
advocate state legislation regarding
trusts, l can have no sympathy, ami :
am bound to believe, too. that legis-
lative action which seeks to control the
formation and management of trusts
will prove inefectual.
''In the first place, the word trust Is
misleading. when applied to great
many industrial combinations now
threatening the prosperity of the peo-
are merely larger corporations.
1T has occurred to me that corpora
tions will be declared to possess a vest
ed and constitutional right to buy and
sell. Clearly, 1t seems 10 me. corpora-
tio.==s, as well as natural persons, have
a right to buy and hence right to sell
whatever is offered for sale in the mar
ket. If a sufficient weight of capital
be employed. a corporation or a nat

constitutional right to buy all of d GER
tain product offered for sale, and this
will unCuestionably operate to fix the
price at which such product will. in
future, be sold. We can see that as in
the case of the parent of trusts, the
Standard Oil company, the power 10
buy and sell possessed by that company
is entirely sufficient to regulate the
price at which oil will be sold. The
Standard Oil company thus gets the
power to drive out of business all cola
petitors, and in this way establish
prices for which their product must be
sold
Il am at loss to see, too, how the
natural and fundamental right of either
natural or corporate persons to buy and
sell can be interfered with by legal en-
actment under our constitution. For
this reason | can see no remedy for
the trust evil save public ownership.
This new question of trusts is really
the very old one of capital VS.. labor.

the almighty dollar to acquire entire

is IN all this an irrepressible conflict.
which will not down at the bidding of

In addition to this letter the sCv-
ernor received brief letters from the
governors of Oregon and Pennsylvania,
the antitrust convention,
and promising to be in attendance.

Especial to The Heraid.)

Kanab, June 19.-Three immense fires
are sweeping over the Buckskin noun
tains in northern Arizona and have
burned over 100 square miles of tim
ber on the Grand Canyon forest re-
serve. The country for miles about
Kanab is heavy with smoke although
the fires are forty miles distant. Moth
ing but a heavy rain storm can check
the fires and save the forests. The
federal government has no warden or
other official TO look after the reserve
and rival ranchers are supposed to have
set fire to the timber to burn out the
enclosures and improvements of each
other. There is fair prospects for rain
today.
