La TOILETTE IN FIELD.
Opens Weeks Campaign in Interest
of Reform Increment.

Mount Holly, ~ j. Sept. 17.-United States
Senator la Toilette OF Wisconsin. began his
week OF speechmaking in New Jersey at Mount
Holly this afternoon I'm the court house, which
was filed with an appreciative audience. IL was
his first speech in New Jersey in the interest
OF the political reform movement. The Senator
was frequently applauded. AT 4:30 o'clock he
and his party, consisting of George L. Record.
General f. Burd Grubb. George Wildes and DR..
f. s Adams were hurried over 10 Burlington in
automobiles
Senator La Toilette was the only speaker. He
said in part:

terest feel in the contest now on IN TINS state.

There should be state authority before whom
insurance companies must appear 10 show that
they demand for insurance. No corporation is
sues stocks and bonds except TO collect unjust
interest from the people and 10 give handsome
returns to those managing SUCH concerns un-
derstand that the trolley companies OF this
state have capitalized their roads at S2Oo,cN a
mile which is imposing upon your children and
children's children a vast burden.
Every twelve months pay more to the rail-
roads than do in all our taxes. They are
able TO take an excessive amount from the peo-
pie because il has not been possible to pass in
the United States Congress law to enforce
decision of the United States Supreme Court to
bring the charges down TO where the court has
decided they should. be We can reproduce
every railroad in this country for $4,000 100000
but they are now inflated To Si3.0O0000.0 600;
each mile can be constructed for less than
$4,000 although they have been inflated TO
100000 per mile. The average cost Of the rail-
roads i'm Michigan and Wisconsin is a fair aver
age for all the states. and shows that the coun-
try is paying interest and dividends $1,000
100000 OF railroad property which is nothing
more than much water. II Is just that Con-
gress should establish a law TO ascertain the
value Of all the railroad property in the country.
The speaker here gave recital of the defeat
OF the eight amendments which he offered in the
Senate at the request of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. that fair basis of rates for trans
portation charges might be established He con-
tnue6:

should be regulated by the people as we'll the
rates. but they should be permitted charge
enough TO pay all operating expenses and leave
a fair profit on the business.

were losing hundreds OF thousands OF dollars by
giving away valuable franchises for which no re-
turns were received. These. he said. should be
