STATES CONSENT NEEDED
MINNESOTA NAV BLOCK NEW Is.
SUE OF GREAT NORTH.
ERN STOCK.

St. Paul, Dec. 14.-President Hills
proposed issuance of $60,000,00O in
new stock to the shareholders of the
Great Northern Railway company may
be sidetracked for the time being
Attorney General E. T. Young, in an,
swer to questions regarding the con.
templated issue of new stock, issued
the following statement:
I'm my opinion there is no doubt but
that under proper Interpretation of
the law as it now stands no new stock
can be issued by a domestic, railway
company without obtaining the con
sent of the state, through the railway
commission.
Before such consent can be given
the commission must give public
hearing on the question, in which hear
ing the purpose for which the money
is to be used and the necessity for
the new issue Of stock must be fully
shown.
In showing the necessity for this
issue the company would have to show
" AA1I ~ oAo Wall CAO pAONSOuo VI CAC
$25,000,000 stock issued last February
which has not as yet been accounted
for in any public way.
'This proposed issue would increase
the stock of the Great Northern com.
pany to $21O,O00,O00.
''The bonds of the system are now
about 100000, which would make
the capitalization of the 5000 miles OF
road $425 100000, which exceeds So,
900 per mile for both main line and
branches, where much of the road
especially the branch lines, cost not
to exceed $4,000 per mile.
The dividends on this excess cap
ita]ization is an unWarranted tax on
the patrons of the road and, instead
Of increasing its stock, which is now
about 100000 per mile, the company
ought to show some justification for
it's present capitalization"

WOUND PROVES FATAL.
Ex-senator Brown of Utah Dead a
Washington.

Washington, Dec. 14-Arthur Brown
of Utah, formerly United States SEN
ator, who was shot by Mrs. Anna M.
Bradley of Salt Lake City when in his
apartments at the Hotel Raleigh Sat-
urday afternoon, died at midnight at
the Emergency hospital.
Mrs. Bradley will set up the defense
that she was justified under the "un.
written law" in shooting Mr.. Brown.
Just before Senator Browns death
one of the assistant district attorneys
made another fruitless effort to secure
an ante-mortem statement, but the
senator refused to talk.
Mrs. Bradley is on the verge of col
lapse and her physician says that it
may be several days before she will
be able to appear in court.

FOR MORMON SUCCESS
PRESIDENT CHARGED WITH US.
ING HIS INFLUENCE At RE.
CENT ELECTION.
SENT SECRETARY TAFT TO IDAHO
SENATOR DUBOIS CLAIMS NOR
MONlSM WAS ONLY ISSUE
IN THAT STATE.

Washington, Dec. 14.-President
Roosevelt was directly charged in the
senate during the day with using his
influence for the election of Repub-
lican Mormon candidates In the recent
election in Idaho and Utah. The
charge was made by Senator Dubois
in the course of a speech In which he
discussed the right of Reed SmOOt to
a seat in the senate. The address
was of considerable length, the first
portion being devoted to a review OF
the Mormon church. Mr.. Dubois as
serted that polygamous marriages
were still being contracted, although
surreptitously, and that an aristocracy
Of polygamists was being built up by
the church officials, who now arrange
and select these polygamous mar
riages. But no record Of polygamous
marriages is kept which Is available
for the American people. Because of
this he pointed out the futility of pass
ing national law prohibiting the
practice.
AS to Senator Smoot, he said, it
made no difference whether he was
or was not polygamist.
"Smoot," he said, represents the
church and not the state and would
do the bidding of the church before
he would serve the real interests Of
the state or Of the nation"
Turning his attention to the cam
paign preceding the recent election
Mr.. Dubois read the press dispatches
of Oct. 20, which stated the president
had sent Secretary Taft into Idaho
to speak in
Advocacy Of Law and Order.
At that time, Mr.. Dubois said, he had
telegraphed the president that the only
issue in Idaho was the desire Of the
Mormon hierarchy to continue to DOM
mate the politics Of the state and that
the president had been misled if he
thought there was any other issue.
Mr.. Dubois referred to messages of
Presidents Buchanan, Johnson, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland,
citing what he termed 1.-The menace of
Mormonism," and proceeded:
II call attention to these messages
Of the presidents for two purposes:
lone to indicate the views of our
former executives; the other to mark
the contrast between them and the
present occupant of the White House.
.Mormonism is more insidious, more
dangerous and a greater menace to
our government and civilization today
than 1t was at any particular period
when these messages were addressed
to congress. Yet President Roosevelt
does not deem the subject worthy of
mention In message filled with sug-
gestions.
1.-THE non-Mormon citizenship of
Utah and of Idaho think they are en-
titled to the support of law abiding
citizens everywhere in their efforts to
maintain American citizenship in these
Mormon states and If they cannot re-
ceive that they have the right to de-
mand that the president of the United
States shall not use the great power
vested in him in the interest of those
law defying and un-American organiza-
tions In their determination to rule
the politics of this section of ou1
country"

The Wrong and the Remedy.

First. We charter corporations
carefully endued with power to
rob us.
Then we enact tariffs, putting
a premium-in the shape of pro.
hibitive duties on imports-upon
the plunderiug of consumers.
Then the corporations conspire
together and form combinations
and trusts to destroy competition
and enrich themselves by exact.
ing tribute from the people be.
yond the dream of avarice.
Then comes President Roose-
welt with a remedy. He proposes
TO rob the robbers.
But the real remedy-the Dem
ocratic remedy-is to pare the
claws of the corporations, and to
reduce the tariff to a simple
revenue basis, This digs away
the foundation of robbery, and
restores the rule of live and LET
live.-Philddelphia Record.
