SPEAKS ON
TRUSTS
Combinations That Seek TO
Burden the People Transgress
Powers Conferred on Them

Lowville. n. Y. Aug. N.-The Lewis
county fair was begun here today. Gov
odeil was present and delivered an ad-
dress, saying In part: Agriculture is the
basis OF prosperity and therefore It's en-
couragement and protection is function
OF the state. Capital is the result of la
bor-its combination In the most com
plete ana concrete form-therefore 1t
should be accorded mo rights which are
him who labors. These truths are not
mere platitudes. but inherent principles
OF government.
Combinations which seek to oppress the
people or TO place upon them additional
burdens. transfress the powers when
have been given them.
I'm this state we have been accorded
rights which are seldom exercised by the
national government Upon the growth
OF values the state depends for the
moneys necessary for Its well being, while
the federal government exacts, except IN
the greatest emergencies. the bulk OF It's
revenues from importations from other
countries.
This power forms the basis for party
creeds and policies. Under a so-called
protective tariff has come prosperity. but
IL is claimed that with II have come con-
ditions which either through dissatis-
faction. or otherwise, have at times pro-
duced results which are onerous and bur-
densome Whether this result is caused
by a governmental policy which seeks TO
benefit and protect labor. Ia a question OF
serious import.
SO called trusts may have benefited by
high duties, but there are 10 many COM
binations that do not require or receive
this aid that l am inclined TO the belief
that the solution OF this problem must be
otherwise sought than In the elimination
or lowering OF tariff rates The desire Tor
wealth may often lead those who have the
power to crush out competition by means
which are the proper subjects for state
or federal legislation.
In New York with our own corporations
or business concerns. there would be no
diculty with existing laws to prevent and
punish those who thus might seek TO op-
press or unnecessarily burden ouf people.
But with those whose domtciles are In
other states the task is a more difhcuit
one Wise action - demanded and In the
accomplishment Of this purpose we should
not be led into unwise policies that may
break down safeguards that have led us
| to our present prosperous condition"

S0UTHSIDERS ASK CONCES-
Sl0NS FROM THE COUNCIL.

meeting of the Southside Citizens
Club was held last night at Kiser's
Hall. The seating and standing capaci-
ty of the hall was overtaxed. President
John F. Glatigny presided with John
F. Bernhard secretary. Forty-two new
members were elected making the total
membership 66S. 1t was decided to in
crease the advisory board and steering
committee to Is members
resolution was presented by Mr..
j. r. Dreamer urging Council to in
crease the salary of the sanitary in
spectors to $65 a month. Mr.. Dreamer
spoke in support of the resolution. The
work of these inspectors, he said, is
as necessary as that of the policeman
or fireman, and it is mean work, too,
and the inspectors are not on dress
parade either like the other employees
of the city whose work and it's results
are before the public eye. He pointed
out that it is a hard matter for a man
to rear and educate children on the $50
per month now paid and called at
tention to the fact that the last two
annual reports of the health officer
asked for more salary for the in
spectors.
The club passed the resolution unsn-
imously and voted that the steering
committee work for it's success.
Another resolution, offered by Richard
Claiborne, that the Citizens Club give
union labor representation on the next
aldermanic board was adopted
The club will hold a rally next We'd
nesday, 18th, and several prominent
party leaders will address the meet
ing.

KEROSENE LIKELY TO GO
TO 20 CENTS A GALLON.

b The prospects are that the consumer
will have to pay cents more a gal
lon for kerosene oil in the next day
or two. At present the retail price of
oil is Is cents, and in spite of the fact
that it has been raised cents per
gallon to the retailers in the last three
weeks, they have as yet raised none to
the consumer, still retailing it at the
old price. 1t is hardly probable that
this will continue, however. Even if it
goes no higher, most of them say, they
can not afford to handle it at 1874
Wholesale and 10 cents retail, and will
have to ask 20 cents for it.
The Standard Oil Company represen-
tatives are silent and no information
as to the future rise or fall or any
thing concerning price can be had
from them. The rise in price of IL
Eliminating oil is attributed to the re-
cent rise in the crude oil market. Since
the anthracite coal strike and the con-
sequent scarcity of coal, crude oil has
sprung into prominence as a fuel in
factories, railroads and furnaces of ali
kinds as has the refined product in
home use in heaters and cook stoves
these increased demands have caused
the crude market to soar in the last
three weeks. Just how far it will go
no one knows, but the demand will in
crease during the winter months unless
relief is had for the coal situation and
no help Is expected for that until
spring.
Because of the rise in coal and oil
some fear has been expressed that there
might be rise in the price of illumi-
mating gas but Manager Golden of the
Mutual Gas Light Company said last
night that no such thing is contem-
plated. and the coal and oil prices will
not affect the price of gas.

erals recommendation, awarded Ma
con, and said that he thought the ap-
pointment of the committee would be
the most feasible modus procendi. He
added that he would add his recon-
mendation to the application of the
committee, since, in his opinion, So
vannah offered the greatest induce
ments fcS the meet.
In Offering his resolution looking TO
the securing of the camp, Capt. Coney
had a few interesting things to say
in connection with the matter. He
said that while he had naught but
words of praise for the camp of in
struction held at Macon, he was con-
strained to say after a careful sur
vey of the ranges and a study of other
pertinent points relative to the con-
duct of such a camp, that the adj
vantages offered by the Savannah mil
itary were much superior to those Of
fered by the militar%~at Macon.
He summed up the many advantages
of equipment, size and facilities and
said that these outweighed the con-
sideration of central location which
went so far towards gaining the camp
for Macon this year. He suggested that
if the camp were held a few days prior
to the meet of the association, that
great advantage would be reaped. Not
only would cost of transferring cots,
tent, ETC. be minimized, but owing
to the influx of those attending the
shoot, and it's attendance good to the
trade of the city, an appropriation
might be gotten from Council.
Capt. Coney added that since Gen.
Oglethorpe had destined Savannah to
be the military center of the state,
it was for the military of the city and
the citizens, to see that it retained it's
present prestige. Capt. Coney was
warmly applauded as he concluded.
To Enroll New Members.
A committee, consisting of Maj
Grayson. Capt. Richardson, Capt. Cas-
sells and Lieut.. Silverburg was ap-
pointed by the chair to enroll names
for membership. The dues of the as
ISOLATION, which will be fixed by the
committee appointed to report back
to the next meeting, will probably not
exceed 81 a year. The names of sixty
one members were enrolled last night
at the meeting.
Major Grayson informed the meeting
that he had felt the pulse of the mill
tary throughout the state and had
found the sentiment very favorable to-
ward Savannah as the place for hold
ing the next camp of instruction. He
said that he had practically secured
the endorsement of quite a number of
officers, among whom Col. Thorn
son, of the Third Infantry, Lieut. Col.
Barker of the Fifth Infantry and Col.
Wooten of the Fourth Infantry.
