ROOSEVELT ON RAILWAY RATES
Reaffirms His Original Position in
Message to the Grange.

President Roosevelt on May 6 reiter-
ated his views on Railroad Rate legis-
lation in a telegram sent to the Execu-
tive Committee Of the Pennsylvania
State Grange. The telegram follows:
washington. d. c., May 6-W. f.
Holl and Members Executive Com
mittee Pennsylvania State Grange:
Telegram received. l am happy to tell
you that not only am l standing on my
original position as regards rate legis'
lation, but it seems likely that Con-
gress will take this position, too. The
Hepburn bill meets my views, as l have
from the beginning stated, The Ali
son amendment is only declaratory OF
what the Hepburn bill must mean. sup
posing it to be unconstitutional, and nc
genuine friend of the bill can object tC
it without stultifying himself. In ad-
dition / shall be glad to get certain
amendments. such as these commonly
known as the Long and Overmar
amendments. but they are not vital,
aud even without them the Hepburn
bill with the Allison amendment con-
tains practically exactly what l have
both originally and always since asked
for, aud if enacted into law it will re-
present the longest step eve taken in
the direction of solving the railroad
rate problem.

It is not possible. he says, to put into

President Roosevelt on May 4 transmitted
TO Congress the report of James II. Garfield,
Commissioner o. Corporations, giving the re
suits Of his investigation Of the subject Of
transportation and freight rates in connection
with the oil industry.
The Message.
In his message the President expressed the
view that the report Is of capital Importance
because Of the effort now being made to Sc
cure such enlargement Of the powers Of the
Interstate Commerce. Commission as will con
fer upon the commission power in some
measure adequate to meet the clearly demon
strated needs Of the situation. The facts set
forth in the report, he declares, are for the
most part not disputed. That the Standard
Oil Company has benefited enorm ously MP
almost to the present moment by secret rates,
many of which we're clearly unlawful, the
President says the report clearing shows, the
benefit thereby secured amounting to at least
$3.50. 600 a year. On this subject he says;
Discovery of Secret Rebates.
This $4,000 represents the profit that
the STANDARD Oil Company obtains at the ex
pense Of the railroads; but Of course the ulti-
mate result is that it obtains a much larger
profit at the expense Of the public. A very
strik ing result of the Investigation has been
| that shortly after the discovery Of these secret
rates by the Commissioner of Corporations,
the major portion Of them were promptly
| corrected by the railroads, SO that most OF
them have now been don't way with. This
immediate correction, partial or complete, OF
the evil Of the secret rates, is of course, on
| the one nam an acknowledgement that they
we're wrong, and yet were preservered in
until exposed; and on the other hand. a proof
of the efficiency Of the work that has been
done by the Bureau of Corporations"
The statement is added that the Depart
ment Of Justice will take up the question OF
instituting prosecutions in at least certain Of
the cases and the hope is expressed that Con
gress will enact into law the bill of Senator
Knox to correct the Interpretation OF the
immunity provision rendered in Judge Hum
phrey's decision. Continuing, the President
says:
Standard Given an Advantage.

standard Oil profits immensely by open rat 5,

Under the law, the county seat
cannot be removed until the propo
sition is submitted to a vote of the
people of the county. No vote can
be taken On the question under any
circumstances before two years. and
probably not for t, II years, and then
1t requires three-ffths vote to re-
move the county seat from its pres

the commissioners any thing to do
with 1t, except to allow the ques-

Today the majority of the popu-
latlon is conceded to reside IN the
Western portion of the county, and
the west side will undoubtedly keep

advocates these principles, and
when the Republicans in conven-

manifestly fair thing to all interests.
The convention recognized the fact
that no harm could come Or result

it at this time, and the majority Of

There is some excitement in Bordentown
over the water question. The contract be-
tween the city and the old water company
was that the old company should retain
the real estate, pumping station and reser-
voir, subject to the contract of the city,
until January -, 1905, at which time il
was to surrender possession of the same.
This the city is unable to do, since its
new plant is still incompleted. The water
company in the meantime sold the plant
to Harold B. Wells, who was to have pos
session of the property on January 10, 1906
The city refused then to give possession OIL
to pay Mr.. Wells what he considered
fair price. 1t is in Mr.. Wells power tt
shut off the supply of water from the entire
city There is much criticism here owe
the failure of the city to supply the people
with water as the contract called for.
