HEPBURN ON TRUSTS.
Iowa Congressman Gives His Views on
the Subject.

Iowa Congressman IiveS tbs views on
the Subject.
Washington, Dec, 3.-Hepburn has
introduced a bill appropriating $500,000
for the enforcement of the Sherman law
TO control trusts. He says the great
trouble is the trusts spend thousands
and employ legal talent, while the gov
ernment mas nothing. The purpose of
the bill is to furnish the government
the means.
Allison attended the caucus of the
senators opposed to the statehood om-
nibus bill and favoring the admission
of Oklahoma only.
Congressman Hepburn has betrayed
quite an interest in the trust question.
He has some splendid and very deter
mined ideas on the matter. He says
that he does not know that his ideas
would meet with favor with congress
and declines, but he has presented his
bill to find out. A prohibitive tax
placed on the watered stock of cor
porations, this tax to be levied and coll
lected by the machinery provided by
the goyernmet, is the main feature of
Mr.. Hepburn's idea of remedying the
trust evil He refers, of course, to that
class of combinations formed pr for
the legitimate purpose of tGs~ or com
merce but for the sole pu pose of max
ing money out of stock values.
.And this is exactly the class of
trusts that causes all the evil" de-
clared Mr. Hepburn in discussing the
matter. when you take away the OPP
partunity of the professional promoter
of getting rich simply thru the organi
fiatian of q trust and the issuance of
enormous quantities Of stock based on

SON Tate libel suit today, discovery
was made that L. A. Gray, the man
on whose affidavit the alleged Ibelous
editorial was based, and who has sue
ceeded in eluding the officials, has just
been released from the penitentiary.
His affidavit was made last March
and in June he was arrested, convicted
and sentenced to six months in the
penitentiary for breaking into a store.
He was sentenced under the name Of
James White, and he was not recog-5
nized by the court or county attorney

The price of rice has been broken and
the native operat tors have insured the
supply Of this foodstuff at reasonable
rates. The Philippine commission,
when a rice famine was threatened at
the beginning of November, appropriat-
ed So, 100000 (Mexican) and quietly pur-
chased upward of 10000 tons of rice in
India and on the Asiatic coast, to be
sold to the sufferers at cash price
which it was thought would cover the
cost. The plans of the commission were
concealed in order to prevent eompina-
tions with the view of raising prices.
The government may lose mones on It's
purchases, but it is satisfied in having
provided for the sale of rice to the peo-
pie at a low figure.

cent.

was the most determined opponent Of
Cuban reciprocity at the last session,
and who did more perhaps than any
other senator to defeat the administra :
ton bill. now admits. after carefully
investigating the situation at close
range during the recess of congress,
that 90 per cent reduction would not
seriously interfere with the beet sugar
industry of his state. He will not,
therefore, oppose it IL proposed.
Senator Perkins of California. who
was as determined an opponent of the
Cuban tariff reduction bill last session
as Mr.. Burrows, said today:
