Boise, Feb. 3.-In response to a re-
quest for his views on President Roose-
yelt's plan for the regulation of rail-
way rates, Governor Gooding has sent
the following to Chicago paper:
II am heartily in accord with the
recommendations of President Roose-
welt relative to Federal control and reg
ulation of railroad rates. | consider
the rebate system in use in the past
productive of the growth of harmful
monopoles and that it has done more
to throttle honest competition than any
other one factor. | believe the powers
of the Interstate Commerce commission
should be increased so that discrimina-
tion in railroad rates may be stopped
and the commission should be clothed
with authority to revise rates with
power to enforce their DEGREES until set
aside by adverse decision of the courts.
The following concurrent resolution has
passed the lower house of the legislature
and is now under consideration and will
pass the senate:
Whereas, steps have been taken by
the national congress toward increasing
the powers of the Interstate Commerce
commission in accordance with the idea
OF President Roosevelt,
I" Resolved, That the congressional
representatives from idaho be requested
to uphold the hands of the President
and that copy of this resolution be
sent to each of them =
The concurrent resolution was passed
by the house unanimously. When it
was sent to the senate it was referred b
committee and nothing has since been
heard from it. When the governor
wished to see it today the chairman of
the committee did not know where it
was. 1t is believed some influence has
been at work to smother it, but a de-
mand will be made ON the floor for a
report from the committee.

cozY HOME FOR TRAMPs.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans c Comfortable Refuge for
 the Aged.

Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest tramp in America. who several years ago lived at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, at the expense of western rail- road magnate, as result of wager that Hans could not walk from Tacoma to Panama in eight months, is to build home for aged tramps. Hans recent ly received $25,000 by the will of rel ative who died in Sweden, and the money is now said to be drawing interest in . New York bank.
 Hans recently disclosed his intention to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor- cester, Mass. The other day Johnson was in New York, and, while talking about Hans project, said:
 Tt sounds like the dream of crazy man, but Hans declares that he will build the tramps' home with his money. He says that he will build his home somewhere in New England. I asked him why he didn't take his money and settle down and he said it is much more fun to be tramp.
 "He said that the only thing he wanted to get out of his money is home to live in when he gets too old to catch freights so long as he had to build himself home, he declared that he might as we'll build one large enough for 25 or 30 of his friends. He told me that he knew 5000 tramps on the road in the United States. Some of these friends of his, he ex- plained, are getting old and stiff and cannot tramp much longer
 "He plans to put all of his money in this home for his friends. After it is built, he argues that by little work, such as broom making or mending chairs or something of that kind, the 25 tramps who reside within can pay running ex- penses. When asked him how soon he Is going to build this home he said that he is looking for suitable place, and that as soon as he finds one he will take his money out of the bank and build"
