MAGNESITE IN CALIFORNIA
This Is the Only State in the Union
Where This Mineral Is
Produced
Rv Assnciated BRASS.

BY ASSUCId IeU fItSS,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-California
is the only state, according to a report
just issued by the geological survey,
that produces magneste, which Is a
native magnesium carbonate composed
of 47.6 per cent magnesa and 52.4 per
cent carbon dioxide. During 1904 the
quantity of crude magnesite produced
was 1850 tons, valued at $92S9
For 1908 the quantity reported was
9744 short tons crude, valued at $10,595,
equivalent to 1861 tons calcined, worth
S2O,515 The demand for both crude and
calcined magnesite on the Pacific coast
is limited and prohlbitive freight rates
have thus far prevented shipments to
the east. Oregon and California con-
sumo the entire native production.
Other states are dependent on import.

f[AYS PRIVATE CARS
Testifies in Washington That
Lines Use MonopoIistic
Methods in Competition

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. s.-The IN
terstate committee of the house today
continued its hearings on bills to further
restrict the carriers.
George II. Mead, member of the Ma
tional League of Commission Merchants of
Boston, and also of the Boston Fruit
Growers exchange, took the stand and
complained of what he called the
inroads made into his business by the
so-called private car lines.
These lines. he said "have grown to
such an extent that the car line company
known as Armour & Co. practically con-
trolled the price of perishable food COM
modities in this country"
Fruit Men Suffer
No line of business, he declared, per-
haps suffered so much from the

maintained that Armour & Co. were oper-
ating. without license, and he said he
could not see why they had ''the right to
by the throat and demand whatever they
see f1t.o
These private car companies he
said can break men, firms and even
states by their traffic rates.
A general discussion followed regarding
the powers invested in the interstate com
merce n1e commission to fix rates by the
tion by Mr.. Mann, Mr.. Mead said that on
account of freight rates business interests
of the. country were not only on the point
of ruin, but that very many business
houses had been ruined

tracts for refrigerating cars Mr. Mead
replied that he believed they would as

Mr. Mead declared there were many re-
frigerating car companies with cars that
could do work the Armour cars could not
do and yet, he said, the shippers of
peaches and fruit from Georgia could not
use those cars because Armour & Co.
had the exclusive contract.

GOVERNOR URGES
INDIANA COMMISSION
HanIy Recommends Body With Rate Fix
ing Power

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, JAN 9-In his
message to the legislature Gov. Hanly
recommends a railroad commission to de-
termine questions of rates and collateral
subjects. He says on this subject:
Without the power to fix rates the COM
mission would not be effective. If the
evils sought to be reformed are to be
reached the power mentioned is essential
The law should also be so framed as TO
prevent unreasonable and inexcusable de-
lay in the transportation of freight or cars
or unjust. discrimination in rates, either
by way of rebates or otherwise. 1t should
also prohibit discrimination against locali-
ties in furnishing cars, and should have
some provision relative to the transfer and
switching of cars. Bills of lading, re-
leasing or limiting the common law liza
bility of carriers with reference to prop
erty covered by such bills while in the
custody of such carrier should be prohibit
ed, and the commission should have pow
er to hear and determine differences af-
fecting carriers, OF between the carriers
themselves.
He recommends a statute forbidding all
state, county or municipal officials from
accepting passes from railroad telegraph
or express companies.

stipulation that his position in the mat
ter be made clear.
According to Reeds rules, it is the
duty of the speaker to call the house
to order and if the assumption that the
house met, is accepted, it is likely that
Mr.. Clague called it to order.
The majority in the press gallery
was of the opinion that the house was
called to order and that it was done by
Mr.. Clague. However, if any injustice
has been done to Mr.. Clague your cor
respondent will only be too glad to
make any reparation in his power. He
also expressly reserves the right of
three days in which to retract should
Mr.. Clague see fit to deny the allega-
ton herein implied.
The next incident was battling one.
There was evidently a stir beneath the
reporters gallery, about three points
north of northeast of the rear right
hand corner of the speakers desk. The
widest sort of rumors were afloat in
the gallery and general confusion pre-
vailed, while some of the oldest re-
porters who once knew man whose
cousin worked with Dana on the New
York Sun, shook their heads in de-
spair.
A panic was narrowly averted when
a page was seen to leave his seat and
hurry under the gallery. 1t was OBJ
vious even at this great altitude that
history was being made. Some ex-
pressed fear that the page would
never return, but after short time
he was seen approaching the speakers S
desk with something white in his
hand. The page appeared to be in good
health and to have suffered little by
his experience. There. are several well
authenticated cases Of pages having
done the same as this particular one
and all precedentS indicate that the
white object which he carried in his
hand was a bill.
An attempt to get into signal COM
munication with the page was unsuc-
cessful. The sergeant-at-arms later
in general orders No. S72 warned the
press that correspondents using any
code would be considered and treated
as spies in the service of the enemy.
When the assembly quieted person
occupying the desk and of the same
general appearance as the reading
clerk was seen to be agitated He
could be plainly seen to be looking at
the white object handed to him by the
page and the binoculars gave the first
indication that his lips were moving.
AT first it was thought that he was in
prayer, but the look of interest on the
countenances of the house members
effectively disproved this theory.
There. was heated discussion in
the press gallery and the intransigents
succeeded in blocking every move. AS

As Governor He Recommends
Compulsory Voting and Out
Iawing of Lobbyism

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. 81
Joseph w. Folk was inaugurated gov
ernor today. He said in his inaugural
address:
'Partisanship is good thing some
times, but patriotism is a better thing
all the time. Some of you are Demo-
Gratis, some are Republicans, all are
Missourians. In. the discharge of Of
ficial duties, let us be Missourians be-
fore we are anything else If the pub
lie veal should conflict with party ad-
vantage or personal ambition the pub
lie good should prevail. If there be
any corruption during this session of
the general assembly it would be
disgrace to the state and reflection
on every man in this body and upon
every official in the state government
1t is too often the tendency of good
men in legislative bodies to close their
eyes to things of this nature, satisfied
with their own honesty, but forgetting
1t is as much their duty to protect and
defend the honor of the state as it is
their own honor. The legislator who
sells his rights traff1cs in the honor of
a sovereign people and prostitutes the
trust reposed in him. 1t is the highest
Guty OF every legislator, of every Off
clal and of every citizen to do all that
he can to eradicate this evil, which is
tie greatest enemy to free govern
nlent and the greatest danger that
conflonts this nation today.
One in public Office has no more
right to use his official powers for
personal ends than he would have to
put his hands into the public treasury
to ray private debt.
Witnesses to Bribery
In order to aid in the investigation
of rumors of corruption, laws should
be enacted compelling witnesses to
testify as to their knowledge of bribery
transactions and exempting such wit
nesses from prosecution for any mat
ter growing out of such testimony.
When legislator accepts a pass, he
puts it in the knowledge of the repre-
sentative of the railroad that he has
violated the law and is subject to in
d1ctment. This knowledge can be used
by the railroad representative to club
the legislator into submission to cor
porate interests.
1T is proper that railroads and all
interests, quasi-public and public,

selves to all except those who have a
selfish motive in retaining present
conditions. United States senators
ought to be elected by the people, and
Missouri should lead the demand for
constitutional amendment providing
for this reform. 1 believe it is the
province of the governor to keep the
public peace by settling disputes be-
