Mr.. Johnson well said to the conven-
ton that this is the one question near
est to the people just now. Arouse
them to a just sense of its importance
and to a vote accordingly, and we
shall be in condition next year to
ask them to send to the Legislature
men who are absolutely right upon
this issue. and who will redeem Ohio
from the infamy of the last one. Then
the State will be in a position to ex-
ercise that influence in the national
campaign Of 1904. to which her i'm
portance and the intelligence and pa
triotism of her people entitle her.
One thing at "A time. What the one
thing this year is, in State affairs, we
have undertaken to show. OF course
the local question of good and bad
municipal and county administration
is before us and will be pressed and
crowded upon the attention of the
voters with all the earnestness and
vigor which its Importance deserves.
To do it requires effort,-work, per-
sistent, intelligent, earnest, unselfish
work, not only by the candidates. but
by the voters at large. If all hands
will give 1t, no time will be left for
intrigues, or feuds or quarrels. If it
shall be given the certain fruits of the
harmony with which our enemies are
now crediting us will be ours. Let
us have it. We ought more certainly

at peace one with another, according

in high life and In low life. No one is
exempt from them. While we have
our allotted burdens, yet we can also

The first burden is the burden Of

parents followed the teachings of John

so intense that Stofer phoned to Dow

the child, and Dowie. 1t is said, sent

Recommended By the Committee on

Washington, Jan. 3O.-One of the first
matters taken up by the senate was that
of the creation of the new cabinet port
folio, to be called the department of
commerce. The question has been dis
cussed 80 thoroughly that it was thought
it would be passed or lost without
further alteration or debate.
The amendment providing for the in
corporation in the department of the
Interstate commerce commission was
withdrawn. An amendment to strike
out the census bureau provision was de-
feated.
The bill passed and carried with it an
amendment changing the title to read
the Department of Commerce and
Labor" instead of the Department of
Commerce." as originally intended.
The Observation-Disclosures irrigation
bill, which was agreed upon by COM
mittee of northwestern senators and
representatives, was favorably reported
on by the senate committee on public
lands.
The bill provides that the proceeds
from the sale of public lands are to be
placed in reclamation fund for the pur-
pose of irrigating arid lands.
The value of the bill to the Northwest
is said to be almost inestimable, as here
tofore there have been no provisions
made for the maintenance of such q

REPEAL WAR TAXES.
Bill to Be Reported to Do Away With All
EXCEPT That on Flour.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The house COM
mittee on ways and means has unani-
mously authorized Chairman Payne to
report bill to repeal all the Spanish
war revenue taxes except the tax on
mixed -four.
The repeal is to take effect July l, 1902,
except the duty on tea, which is to take
effect January l, 1908. Chairman Payne
made statement showing that the total
reduction would be 81, 0O0, 900 annually.
The delay in,the repeal of the tax on tea
is for the purpose of enabling those who
have stocks on hand to dispose of them
before the repeal takes place. Mr.. Payne
says the country will start upon the next
fiscal year with $4,000, 900 available
cash.
An amendment was offered by Mr..
Newlands to except from the repeal the
tax on petroleum and sugar refiners and
by Mr.. Richardson 10 repeal the custom
duties on trust made goods. Both were
defeated by party votes. Mr.. Newlands'
amendment also provided for q tax of

ITSELF TO BLAME.
WAY OFFICIAL ROASTS IN
KA TERsTATE COMMISSION.
o..,;d,nt Hines, Of the Louisville and
Nashville, Charges That It Has Wholly
Failed to Perform Its Duty and has
Nan, All in Its Power to Render The
Law imperative.

louisville, KY, Feb. 2.-That the In
,.o+. commerce commission itself is
~ blame for the rate cutting which it
,ndemns in its annual reports the claim
' ade nv Walker H. Hines, first vice
-os;dent of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad Company, in q pamphlet that
10 has lust issued. Mr.. Hines has given
anecial attention to the subject and says
IN substance as follows:
"Tbe commission endeavors, as it has
aona for wears, to excite support for its
JI o for more power by describing the
urovalence of secret rate cutting. 1t held
pow investigations at Chicago and Kan
nos CITY to disclose conditions which it
hos known for years, delaying the publi-
cation of its report 80 as to give the re-
sults of these hearings.
1.-THE indisputable fact must be kept
before the public that the prevalence of
rate cutting is an unanswerable argu-
ment against giving the commission more
mower, because it is due principally to
The commission utter failure to perform
its manifest duty.
"The paramount purpose of the law
WAS to secure publicity and the mainten-
ance of tariff rates. It is the express
duty of the commission to keep advised
and enforce the law. It has the widest
nossible powers of investigation, includ-
mo the right to call for the production
Of all books, documents and papers, and
it can require the district attorneys of
the United States to prosecute all vio-
laters. These powers have been upheld
BY the courts. The commission, however,
has not only failed to devote its time
and energy to discovering and prosecut-
ing violations of the law, but it has by
its supineness acquiesced in and encour-
aged them, and has done all in its power
to break down the force of the act and
make it dead letter by constantly pro-
claiming that the courts have made it's
enforcement impossible, whereas not q
single decision has impaired the commits
sions power to prevent rate cutting.
81 make no attempt to excuse the rail-
ways for violating the law, but l insist
that the commissions attitude 10 mex
cusable. Offended because the courts
overruled its erroneous assumptions of
power in other directions, it has been
sulking for years, trying to create the
false impression that the act is worthless
and seeking to use the rate cutting which
it could and ought to have prevented as
a basis for demanding radical powers
which would in no way tend to correct
it,"
