The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1906-03-15

The JOINT resolution instructlng the
Interstate Commerce Commission TO
investigate railroad discrimination,
and monopolies in coal and oil, has
been signed by the President. In the
message announcing his action, Mr..
Roosevelt says that he hesitated
about signing the resolution because
he thinks that in its present form il
can accomplish little or nothing of
value, and also because he thinks it
highly desirable that a resolution of
this kind shall not become a law in
such form as to give the impression of
insincerIty, that is of pretending to do
something which really is not done"
But he concluded to sign, believing
that the defects in the resolution can
be remedied by legislation.
But the resolution is now in force,
and it is for Congress to say how far
it wishes to 60. The President I'M
forms it that nothing can be accom-
plished without an appropriation Of at
least $4,000, and he recommends
that if Congress really wishes the
commission to make thorough in-
vestigation it should confer on it the
power to administer oaths and to
compel the attendance of witnesses.
1t is not easy to see why there
should be any serious objection to
such an investigation as that which
is proposed, 1t may at least give US
a little additional light, and viii GER
tainly give US a much needed public
ity. .,> .,.In

Notwithstanding the deficits at

positions except that one in Port
land, where one was expected--the
great fair mania dies hard. Atlanta

to advertise every town in the coun-

GOVERNORS FOR 2-cENT FARES.
Reply to Secretary of Pennsylvania
Board Of Trade.

Harrisburg Sept. 1S-S NJ. Will
lams, secretary of the Pennsylvania
state board of trade, made public cop
les of letters received from the COVER
nors Of several states regarding the
movement to obtain uniform legisla-
lion throughout the United States for
q 2-cent maximum fare on all steam
railroads. Mr.. Williams recently COM
municated with the governors of all
the states with a view of obtaining
their sentiment on this question.
A number of the governors are per-
sonally favorable to a 2-cent fare and
in few instances they tell of the
movements In their states to obtain
tne passage of such legislation in the
next session of the legislatures. Gov
arnors of some Western states say
that because of the sparsely settled
condition of their states the time is
not yet ripe for radical reduction of
fares, but that such reform will come
about when the population increases
TO give the railroads enough business
to justify the cut.
The Western governors express their
approval of the movement so far as it
applies to the thiclly populated
states of the East.

Fuller Declines Nomination.

New York, Sept 1S.-In letter ad.
dressed to Judge Samuel Seabury,
chairman Of the independence League
convention, George Fuller formally de.
clines the nomination for State Treas.
urer rendered him by the convention.
After expressing his appreciation OF
the honor conferred Mr.. Fuller says
that It is impossible for him to accept
the nomination for two reasons. He
adds: "The first is a firm personal
belief that |, as master of the New
York Grange, which is a non-partisan
organization, should not undertake
duties which might in any respect in.
terfere with my personal duties. The
second reason Is the fact that the &C.
ceptance of the political nomination
at the hands of any political party at
this time, would prevent me from car.
rying our certain policies and plans
for the advancement of the agricul-
tural and rural conditions in our state,
through the New York State Grange"
