FOR THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.


Mr. Johnson was followed by c. ", Bum, who
spoke especially for the Northern Pacific. He con-
fined his discussion largely TO the decision of the
Circuit Court. Like Mr. johnson. he conceded that
the sherman act all combinations in re-
straint OF trade. He contended. however. that
some latitude must be allowed in defining what is
restraint of trade. and he said it was rather
startling apply the law to and make criminal
the consolidation Of two lines of railroad like the
Great Northern and the Northern Pacific. as was
done ia their purchase by the securities company
Discussing the question Of State control, he con-
tended that the question is not confined TO the anti
act, but pertains to all legislation affecting
interstate commerce.
DECLARES STOCK PURCHASE LEGAL.
He commended that Congress had no control of
the transfer of stock and laid down the general
proposition that the acquisition of the stock Of two
railroad companies of one company was not
in restraint of The court below held.
and he said the Attorney General will urge, that
the acquisition of this stock for the Northern Sc
curities Company makes it for plain self-interest
10 restrain commerce Such a conclusion he said.
must be drawn per Sc. that actual restraint is
either taking place is Immediately about to take
place. Such position Mr.. Bum maintained
contrary 10 the fundamental principle of all law.
IT also was contrary TO common sense practice and
experience. To say that because man the
stock of two parallel roads he is going TO restrain
commerce was contrary to fact and might Just IS
well be said OF who owns one road.
He also contendsd that. though the stock
holder desired 10 restrain trade. il must be borne
in mind that the railroad companies have boards OF
directors. without whose cooperation the stock
holder do nothing.
Mr.. Bum discussed the trans Missouri case and
questioned by Justices Harlan and White as
TO the extent OF the agreement il any in that case
He contended that the restraint imposed in that
case only individuals. This case must
stand he said, If two roads had been bought by a
common owner under State control It could not be
controlled both by he State and the federal gov
ernments. There could be duality of control
Justice White interrupted Mr.. Bum to inquire IL
he was TO understand his argument to maintain
that the drawing of articles OF consolidation was
not In itself violation OF the Antitrust law?
THAT Is It precisely" answered Mr. Bum
Mr. Bum declared that the Importance OF the
question could not be overestimated and continued:
The parallel telegraph lines OF the country stand
the footing parallel railway lines as it
is common knowledge that nearly all the telegraph
lines OF the country have gradually come into the
control OF two companies In the way YOU
have got hold that the acquisition Of parallel
steamboat lines is restraint interstate com
naerce, and il few individuals owning stock in

Captain Whiting. late commandment AZ
the Naval Station, who was bound for

tee which has the same subject under
consideration.
Mr. Kumalac made the principal
fight against this resolution of Mr..
Andrado. He stated that the thing
proposed was impossible at the present
time as the Senate has introduced q
county bill. the House had introduced
another and there was still another
that would come in later, as notice to
that effect had already been given.
Resolution by Mr.. Pail, referred to
Public Lands Committee:
1. Repair Of road from Maalaea to
Lahaina, on the Island OF Maui, $4,000
Resolution by Mr. Vida, referred to
public improvements:

lum road in Kapalama, Oahu, and for
lighting said roads, $4,000.
Expense Bill Passes.
The order OF the day was next taken
up and House Bill No. 1. relating to the
expenses Of the House, passed third
reading.
The Speaker stated that there was
nothing more on the regular order OF
the day but that he had on his desk a
request from the secretary OF the Re
publican Central Committee for a halt
dozen copies of each of the House bills
as they were printed. The Republi.
can party was dominant in the House
order the clerk to send the copies re-
luested.
Mr.. Keliinoi said he saw no reason
why these copies should not be sent
but while this was being done, the
same favor ought to be shown the
Home Rule party Speaker Beckley
said he would order the clerk to SEND
the six copies to the Republican Cen.
tral Committee and on request being
made, the same favor would be extend
ed to the Central Committee of the
Home Rile party.
Mr.. Fernandez said he had something
of an important nature to communicate
to the House. On the previous day,
there had been a meeting of the Print
ing Committee. Of which he was the
chairman. There had been much dis
cussion and he had found that the dis
position of the majority of the MEM
bers was that they should be Above 1
to choose their own chairman. The
argument had been kept up and moth
ing had been done so that ,ne work OF
the committee was at n standstill He
wanted the Speaker to instruct the
committee as to what It should do as
, he for one wanted to get ahead with
the work.
Mr.. Harris. a member Of the Print
ing Committee. said he did not quite
agree with the last speaker. True. they
had held a meeting but 1t had been de-
cided that everything was to be settled
on at a meeting to be held during the
morning.
Mr.. Beckley then read the rules
showing that the Printing Committee
was really subordinate to the Commit.
tee on Accounts and that the position
of chairman of the Printing Commute,
was, after all. not so important. TIL,
work could go. along just as well N,
matter who might be the chairman
Each committee had the right to choos
a chairman of Its own outside OF tn
member who might be mentioned b.
the Speaker In announcing the variou
standing committees.
This ended the matter and nothinj
more was said. The House then ad
journed until this morning at the usua
hour.

SERMON ON TREES.
Valuable Possessions of the City Be
ing Ruined Through Gross
C~areIessness.
EDITOR of The Optic:

Editor of The Optic:
LAS VEGAS, N. NJ. May &c, 1907
Let me tell you something, and |
want to tell you so loud that everybody
can hear. 1t took about three years
TO grow some nice specimens of elm
trees that stand in front Of the city
hall. They cost the city to have them
shipped here and have them planted,
Including the place prepared for them,
not less than five dollars each. The
city authorities had in view the orna-
ment they would be to the city and the
pride and comfort they would be to
the public, and looked forward to the
time when unborn children would live
to call the city authorities blessed,
that planted those trees.
And the other day our soldier boys
were under examination. One Of them
hitched his horse to one of the trees,
the horse having no more sense than
his rider. peeled the bark off OF the
tree and ruined il. Last evening some
person, said to be a soldier, hitched
his horse to another of those beautiful
young elms and that horse having no
more sense than his rider. took the
liberty TO peel off the bark and com
pletely ruined the said tree. ] wish to
ask all those who pass by the city
hall to look at the said trees. Heal
what they have to say of a man that
will do such q thing when there Is
good hitching posts near by. II an,
body thinks that Is just the right thing
TO do there are a few more trees they
can hitch TO and we people who take
a pride in raising shade trees a "go
way back an sit down"
Now the right thing for those van
dulles to co. to save their I'M from
everlasting disgrace, Is to replace
those trees at the eatliest opportunity
