Conclusion of Committees Inquiry Most
Important Before Remedies Are
Urged for Final Adoption.

Samuel Spencer, president of the
Southern railway. today consented to
make public through The Times sum-
mary of his views on the much-discuss-
ed subject of railroad rate regulation.
The public has been given the views of
the Administration in President Roose-
velt's Denver speech and Secretary
Taft's fmpromptu address at the Tues
day night banquet at the New Willard
SO that President Speneer's views are
especially timely and Interesting as rep
resenting the railroad side of the dis
eussion.
This Is the first time Mr. Spencer has
been willing to comment for publication
since the subject was brought to the
forefront by the Roosevelt and Taft
speeches. Speaking to The Times this
afternoon. he said:
Railways Not Opposing.
There Is no substantial basis for the
view SO often expressed that the rail-
ways are opposing legislation reasonably
and equitably protective of their inter
est, as well as that of the public
1T Is not practicable to say at this
time what the exact provisions of such
legislation should be. This in fairness
should depend upon existing conditions
and needs, which ought to be carefully
and exactly ascertained and not as
sun1ed These conditions and needs are
now the subject-matter of diligent in
CURRY by a committee of the Senate.
Final opinion and the formulation of
legislation based thereon, should be left
until this inquiry shall have been COM
pleted.
The Objections Raised.
THAT the railways have considered
that the legislation thus far suggested
is not duly protective of their interest
is undoubtedly true. Those interests
cannot be equitably protected if de-
cisfon Is to be made and become effec-
tive. upon the purely judicial question
of the reasonabieness and unreasonable
ness Of a rate, without strictly judicial
procedure. they cannot be equitaDly
protected If one class of carriers is sub
jected to the provisions of the law, and
other classes competing for the same
.sThe carriers interest cannot be
fairly protected, and the commerce of
which provide that a rate of transporta-
ton once fixed by any authority shall
remain perpetually in force thereafter
until changed by commission or by
court.
Stop All Rebates.
There is no division of opinion as to
the desirability of stopping all secret
or un1ustly discriminatory devices and
pi actices OF whatsoever character, but
there is a just and reasonable claim
upon the part Of the carriers that If
evils In transportation. are. to be the
evEIs should be distinctly defined and
that there should be a fair and ex-
haustive discussion as to how those
evils can best be reached and renedied,
and that, in the interest of the COM
rnerce of the country, which is so in
dissolubiy linked with transportation
as well as In justice 20 the carriers and

lions and burdens should be avoided.

Comparative Measurements.

DR.. j. Marty, a French criminol-
ogist, has recently made an exam
ination of 1000 delinquent sol.
diers of the French army, and has
found that in height, weight,
breast measure, muscular power
and general condition they aver
aged much better than the well
behaved soldiers. DR.. Marty does
not imply that criminals are by
nature better physically than non
criminals, but suggests that the
condition of criminal families is so
much more wretched than re-
spectacle ones that only the un.
commonly strong survive.

HAS LARGEST MoosEHEAD.
Glenwood Springs, Colo, Man Owns
One That Is Valued at
Nearly $1,000.

What is probably the largest
moOsehead in the world belongs to
John Richardson, of GlenwOOd
Springs, says the Denver Post.
The head measures 724 inches
from tip to tip, without any split
or block. 1t is exactly as nature
made it and could be spread sew
eral inches'by various devices.
Mr.. Richardson secured the head
in San Francisco in 1890 and had
it mounted, paying about $40O.
Since then he has been offered $3.50
for it, but refuses to place price
upon it.
In its lifetime the big bull
weighed approximately 1000
pounds, the head and antlers,
mounted, weighing 275 pounds.
The animal was killed by Frank
Woods on Copper river, in Alaska,
in 1889, after a long chase of sew
eral days over mountains and
through valleys. The animal was
the leader of a large herd, many of
which were killed, but the big bull
moose was the object of the hunt
after he was spied by the party.

ARE WELCOMED IN CANADA
Americans and American Methods
Are Well Received in King
Edwards Dominion.

According to Vice Consul Gen
eral Hill, at Halifax, in a report to
the state department, the bust.
ness and social relations between
Canada and the United States are
growing closer than ever before.
The American "invasion" of the
dominion, he says, is an estab-
lished fact, and the provinces are
rapidly becoming Americanized.
"a large number of the leading
American corporations" says Mr..
Hill. "have established plants in
the dominion, near the border, to
supply their Canadian trade, and
there is scarcely a week that some
American firm is not granted a
license to build a factory and en-
gage in business in Canada.
American capital is welcome, as
are Americans, in every part of the
dominion, and the thousands of
tourists who spend their summer
vacations in Canada, practically
all from the United States, are
everywhere greeted by the Ameri-
can flag, that is almost as familiar
throughout the dominion as the
union jack.
.eThe intercourse between the
citizens Of the United States and
Of Canada is almost as free as be-
tween the people of the several
states, especially that between
residentso of the maritime provinces
and the New England states. The
last census showed that 1000, 900
Canadian citizens were residents
of the United States. These nat
urally encouraged friends and rel
aives to follow their example, and
they have married and intermar-
ried until there is scarcely fam
lily in Canada which has not one
or more of it's members residing
in the states. In every town and
city here familiar signs, such as
Western Union Telegraph com
pany, American Express company,
American life and fire insurance
companies, and other leading
American corporations, greet ono
at every step, while the counters
news-stands display the leading
American dailies.
"Nova Scotia has more trade
with Boston than with Montreal
and the people resemble Amer
leans more than they do the Eng
lish-their dress, manners, Gus
toms, pronunciation are decidedly
American. Their money is dollars
and cents, and American money
passes freely at par in all parts OF
the dominion. One never hears
pounds, shillings or pence men
toned outside of the custom
house. Canadian postage is inter
changeable with ours, and
weights, measures, business meth
DDS and educational systems are
similar to those of the United
States"

 SOME ..STRETCHED'' COURT EXPENSES

During the summer of 1903, Judge Wickersham ordered two rooms added to the court house at government ex- pense and since then these rooms have been used by the deputy marshal as a private residense. This private resi- dence has been furnished with wood by the government, sawed and split by the prisoners. The deputy marseal has monopolized the feeding of prisoners at a profit of 300 per cent, and the gov ernment has furnished the building,
 wood and water free for his messhouse.

WHY HENCHMAN SPRING
 DECRYS GOOD ROADS

ABE-sPRNG, ex-city attorney and i- cense collector of Fairbanks, also de- feated candidate for city councilman, and travelling bandmaster for, Judge Wickersham's well drilled band of henchnen, SC ms to be considerably agitated over the Nelson road bill. No doubt he was voicing the sentiments of his political boss, Judge Wickersham, when he addressed the Alaska Club at Seattle recently. Spring fully demon strated his chiefs rule or ruin policy. and illustrated how strongly the Wick ersham gang are opposed to any or all measures which tend towards depriving them of power or prestige.
 Spring explained how, prior to the passage of the Nelson bill. all money collected from business licenses and fines was in charge of the district judge and that the judge had the right to use. that money for what was known as "court expenses" He also acknow-4 ledged that the judge stretched the meaning of the words s'court expenses" to great extent. This is one of the channels through which we claim Wick ersham worked his grating system.
 MT. Spring claimed that while the judge had the handling of all the funds 50 collected, no person was permitted to engage in business without paying the required license, but now. such money being placed in the road fund, the officials would not care whether li- censes were paid, or the laws otherwise violated This means that the officials will not attend to their duty of collect ing license money, 50 long that it is ap- piled to the building of roads. thus as- 8sisting the miners in developing the country, instead of permitting it's ab-

## #s \ sorbed by corrupt manipulations ofsthes district judge.
 Attorney Spring knows whereof he speaks; he has been under the careful training of the judge for several years. Such statements coming from one So, to Wickersham bears out the charges of graft and corruption which are made against him. It is an acknowledgements on their part that they will not enforce the laws in manner creative of good government, and shows their lack of in terest in the welfare of the district. It is about time the government ceased to allow these corrupt federal officials to absorb the peoples money by an organ ized system of graft. Taxation in any form would not be looked upon with such horror, could the. people realize they were getting something beneficial in return for their money.
 It will be much more appreciable to have good roads and trails in the dis trict,. than such bunch of crooked stiff -collared. kid-gloved officials to look at! It can be readily shown where the officials connected with Wickersham's administration have, within the past two years, illegally grafted from the people money, through such channels as ''court expenses" and Support of prisoners. '' in Rampant precinct alone, sufficient to construct a road from one end of the precinct to the other. Thou sands of dollars have been tilched from the government treasury by the deputy marshal of Rampant precinct through the channel of support of prisoners. ' Hardly dollar of this money has been put in circulation in this precinct. Since 1902 the government has furnished the deputy marshal of this precinct with living quarters, wood. light and water free.

 Now that this money will go to build good roads, Springs declares the offic- ials will not enforce license laws.
