Too Much Watered Stock.

Mr.. Tillman declared there can be no
justice in compelling the people to pay
dividends on watered stock primarily
to increase the fortunes of men al
ready too rich He contended that the
poor dupes who have been led to IN
vest their savings in such stocks can
better afford to lose those earnings
than to have the labor of the country
saddled with the burden of paying
perpetual tribute in the shape of div
idends on dishonest valuations
Mr.. Tillman recommended that
amendments to the bill be adopted
which would give relief to the "anom-
alous and outrageous condition of af-
fairs disclosed as existing in West
Virginia
Vested with the rights of eminent
domain TO construct their lines and
granted liberal franchises and char
tiers. the railroads in the last few years
have become rapidly transformed into
the veriest band of robbers-highway-
men who do not thrust their pistols
in the faces of their victims and de-
mand money or their lives, but who
levy tribute in freight rates which are
as high as the traffic will bear, deny
access to market; monopolize with
brazen effrontery one of the prime
uecessaries of life-coal-and in every
way show their absolute contempt for
the people and the peoples rights"
Words of Caution.
Mr.. Tnlman concluded with word
of caution to the friends of the pro-
posed legislation. He said:
THE demand of the people for relief
from the expressions and wrongs they
now endure may be thwarted bv the
great influence of the railroad corpora
tons This influence has hitherto been
paramount and its representatives in
the two houses may feel that it Is safe

MIR. NewIands' Opinion.

Mr.. Tillman also presented Mr.. New
lands views on the bill.
MIR. NeWldnds said that while he has
joined in the report on the Hepburn
Dill and is in sympathy with the gen
eral purpose, he thought it incomplete
and fragmentary He expressed his
belief that the legislation would not be
as effective as it should be unless there
is added to the pending measure a pro-
vision for the national Incorporation OF
railways engaged in interstate COM
merce, guarding against over-capital-
ization, fixing with certainty the rates
of taxation of such railway property
by the states and prescribing a fixed
limit for dividends. Such legislation
should not simply cover the interests of
shippers and common carriers-it
should embrace the interests Of labor
by providing for an insurance fund
against accidents and old age and con-
Citation OF disputes between carriers
and their employees.
Senator Newlands discussed corporate
activity in politics, saying it has been
increasing since 1896. Corporations are
in politics, the senator declared, because
they feel their property may at any
time be the subject of attacks either by
legislatures or by administrative off,
GERS. He said when he introduced a
resolution creating a commission to
frame a corporation act he believed it
unnecessary to seek the cooperation
or the consent of the states. But today
he said upon reflection, he was con-
WINGED it was wiser to secure the CO.
operation of both the United States and
the states. National incorporation, he
contended, contemplated a general law
for the Incorporation OF national rail-
ways engaged in interstate commerce.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-03-16
Would Limit Stock Issues.

This" he thought, should limit
stock and bond issues to the cash paid
on or to the value of the property &C
quired and no issue permitted save with
the approval of the interstate COM
merce commission"
Senator Newlands said il is plain the
people are FESTIVE under existing con-
ditions. They realize, he said, that
men prominent in the great oil cor
poratiOns are getting control over the
transportation OF the country, and I'M
less we unity and simplify this control
in a few thoroughly controlled great
national corporations whose finances
and operations can be easily under
stood and whose functions will be en-
tirely taken out of politics, we will
drift to national ownership as the east
est solution.
Senator Newlands suggested that the
argument In support of national own
ership was a simple and taking one.
Government Ownership.
Government ownership" he said,
"has no difficulty either constitutional
or practical except possibly the diff
Guilty of honest and efficient admins
tration, and the country will drift TO
it unless existing abuses Of union con-
trolled monopoly, capitalization OF
accomplished uIltOtA DclNcGl tie pro-
ducing and the interests of control of
unjust preferences and Determinations
are done away with. I believe the pol
icy am advocating will give to you all
the benefits of government ownership
with none of its dangers. 1t would
abolish the evils which have arisen
from unrestricted monopoly, but the
railroads out of play. close the door
agaist the entrance of over million
men into the political patronage and
retain the management of the able men
whose genius created our present sys-
TENS out of the crude conditions that
prevailed"
Presidents Message.
The presidents message on the sub
feet of the recent battle between
United States troops and Jolo insur-
gents in the Philippine islands was then
read, and Mr.. Culberson asked whether
this was intended as q reply to the
resolution recently adopted by the SEN
ate at his instance, and Mr.. Bacon
replied that it could not be regarded as
a reply to the resolution, as it failed to
cover the ground.
Mr.. Lodge replied that so far no news
had been received except by cable, and
he had no doubt that as soon as news
should be received it would be supplied
as a matter Of course.

Non-Partisan Legislation.

Emphasizing the claim that this con-
ditiOn is without precedent in Iegisla-
tive history. Mr.. Tillman says it brings
into prominence, the fact that the pro-
posed legislation is non-partisan and
for this reason he urged that Democrats
and Republicans alike should bend all
their energies and lend all that is best
in them to perfecting and passing so
important a piece of legislation.
He declared that woe will be the

scHMlrz AND RUFF IN COURT.

Mayor of San Trancisco AFraigned
 on Extortion Charge. ' SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.-Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz of San Francisco and Abraham Ruef appeared before Superior Judge Dunne for arraignment on charges of extortion preferred by a grand jury. The courtroom was throng- ed with spectators. No applause greet ed the mayor when he approached the Temple Shereth Israel, which houses the court where the trial will take place.
 The mayor was accompanied by at torneys, and when he took his seat before the bar he exchanged no greet ing with Ruef, who had arrived earlier. Their actions seemed to indicate that the relations between the mayor and Ruef had become strained.
 Attorneys for the two indicted men asked that the arraignment be post poned for one week, pleading the fact that the mayor had arrived in the city only few days before and had not had time to confer with his counsel.
 Assistant District Attorney Heney objected to delay in the case of Ruef, while admitting that 1t could be fairly granted to Mayor Schmltz. Finally Judge Dunne set Thursday as the day for the arraignment of both men.
