 The Philippine commission in review ing this American departure in govern ment ownership calls it one of the most important pieces of legislation ever en- acted by the United States
 This was done even while the govern ment was abolishing the very excellent postal savings bank system of Hawaii which existed when we annexed that is- land republic.
 "Uncle Sam in his new daring and economic insight has not only established these postal savings banks, but has is- sued an essay for circulation among the Filipino people. admonishing them to cultivate habits of thrift and to deposit ...eir savings in these government banks Emphasis" says MT. Bolce, lis placed upon the fact that there is absolutely no danger of loss. as sometimes there Is when private banks close their doors."

No Incidental Expenses Allowed.

Notice was received in Birmingham yes- terday by the travelling men of several of the railroads to the effect that hereafter, in turning in their expense accounts, in- cidental expenses must not be included.
 This method of retrenchmant attached burden to the back of the Common .man," as it were, and came as blow straight to the solar plexus. Heretofore. in making out their expense accounts, travelling agents included money expend- ed in an incidental way, for cigars, en- tertaining customers, etc. Hereafter, however, as such items will not be paid by the railroads taking this step, the social features will probably be dropped.
 Another method of retrenchment that has been put into effect recently by some of the roads was in dropping industrial agents. It was the duty of these agents to endeavor to locate industries on the lines of their roads, and to build up the territory generally

NEW SENSATION
 IN POWERS TRIAL
YoUTSEY TESTlFlES ON THE STAND THAT HE TOLD FRIENDS TO VOTE FOR BECkHAM FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Georgetown, Ky, December n.-A de-
 cided sensation was sprung in the Powers
 trial here today when convict Henry E.
 Youtsey. on cross-examination, admitted
 that during the recent campaign between
 Governor Beckham and Senator James B.
 McCreary for the democratic nomination
 for United States Senator, he, Youtsey,
 from the state prison, wrote numerous
 letters to friends and relatives in Ken
 lucky, begging them to vote for Beck
 ham and aid in his nomination. One Of
 these letters to Col. George Washington,
 Frankfort attorney, was produced and
 read to the jury. The letter concluded
 with these words
 Vote for Beckham and thus help me.
 Youtsey admitted he had hopes of
 pardon or a parole. He denied telling fel-
 low-prisoners that .Beckham had prom
 ised a pardon or parole bu, admitted he
 had a conference with Governor bockham
 in the warden office shortly before he
 made his confession. He also admitted that after his confession his harsh treat ment at the prison ceased and he was given an easy job and relieved of stripes, putting gray prison suit instead. At the instance of the defense rule Tor contempt was issued and served today on Wharton Golden, one of the witnesses for the prosecution, charging him with at tempting to intimidate a defense witness. It Is charged that Golden met here Mon
 day night his uncle, Bill Golden, of Bar bersyille, who came to testify for the defense about Golden, and abused and | threatened him if he testified. The rule l was set for hearing for tonight.
 | Youtseys ,oross-examination was closed l in the afternoon after Major Owens asked I the pointed question:
 DO you not know that the door through which you claim you entered and admit ted Howard to the secretary of state S office the morning of the shooting had q Yale lock and was locked and bolted that
 morning by Caleb Powers when he went to Louisvile?'
 Youtsey denied this and said the door was not fastened when he entered. Letters and affidavits were shown him and identified, but in every instance the noted prisoner explained his position by acknowledging the falsity of the writings but laying bare their purposes He said in excuse of contradictory statements that after making the signed statement or affdavits he had found that the others to shield themselves were trying to throw more than his share on him.

 Active movement of freight cars is re- ported by all the railroads. While busi- ness this year, due to the late financial stress, is not as active as last still, as many cars are veing handled by the rail- road of the state as were handled last year. This is due to the fact that last . year there was car famine. Cars now bre plentiful, and are being rapidly filled and moved.
 The car service associations report for the month of November will be issued this week, and will show that November was very busy month. It will show prob able increase over the number handled in November last year.

pAssINe OF THE DYNAMITER

Grant Hamilton, one of the prominent
representatives of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. said a significant thing
Thursday in his comment on the peace
full conduct of the Bingham Junction
smelter strike. when he declared the
day of dynamite has passed" The ut
terance is the more emphatic, because
Mr.. Hamilton was one of the influential
factors in the Goldfield situation in op-
position to the men who advocated the
use of force and did not hesitate to
commit murder If they thought ii would
serve their purpose. Himself a labor
union man. delegated as an organizer
by the greatest of union organizations,
he went into Goldfeld, opposed the ter
rorists at some danger to his own safe
ty, urged the suppression of lawless-
ness. defied the lawbreakers and did
good work in the restoration of normal
conditions.
An important fact to be remembered
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-05-25

i'm this connection is the conservatism
of the legitimate unions in Nevada.
Those affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton suffered quite as much at the
hands of the so-called .'dynamiters' as
did the employing class. The violence
of the lawless was directed against
union workingmen of the substantial
kind, they were compelled to acquiesce
in the reign of the outlaws or live in
fear of personal harm, they had little
voice in the councils of the men who
dominated the situation by intimida-
ton, and they were fully as anxious to
stop the terrorism as any mine owner
or employer of labor could be.
The restoration of peace in Goldf1eld,
the peaceful settlement of the strikes in
and near Salt Lake were due to the
growing conviction among union men
that violence of any kind used in labor
difficulties is only an obstacle to the
attainment of genuine progress by
unions. Wherever intimidation and
force have been used the cause of labor
has suffered, not only in the locality
most affected, but all over the country.
San Francisco labor unions, by their
unreasonable demands and disregard
of law, have done more harm to the
cause of unionism in this country than
all the opposing forces combined; and
if the street car strike there is lost, as
seems inevitable, ii will be due to the
fact that the men have alienated public
sympathy by the disorder attending the
strike, more than to any other single
cause.
The day of dynamite in labor contro-
Versies is done, as Mr.. Hamilton says.
There may be places where violence
will be tolerated for a while; there may
be occasions when the lawless can
override the law without penalty, but
an aroused intelligence among labor
men, reinforced by a public sentiment
among all classes, has put the dyna-
inter beyond the pale of sympathy and
Will compel peaceful methods in the
adjustment of labor questions, as ii
does in the settlement of all other great
questions.

EFFECTS OF CROP SHORTAGE.

b. F. Yoakum, chairman of the Rock
Island board, is quoted as saying Okla
homa's wheat crop will only be about
half as much as expected this year, but
that the damage elsewhere in Rock
Island territory will not be as heavy as
estimated. The other fall wheat states
all report injury from weather condi-
tions or pests. and it is generally be-
lieved the decrease in the total harvest
will be very large. running into the
millions of bushels.
Just what effect this decrease will
have upon general financial conditions
may not be predicted with accuracy,
but it needs no prophetic vision to see
that the revenue of the railroads in the
territory affected will be cut down ma
terialIy. The farmer will be compen-
stated to degree by the increase in
price for such wheat as he raises; the
merchants will get their share of the
high price for grain; millers and man
ufacturers of foodstuffs generally will
mark up prices to insure their usual
profit, but the transportation lines will
have no such means of making up their
loss.
Although they will have less freight
to haul, there is little chance that they
will be permitted to advance the rates
on such wheat as offers. Their wage
scales, their fuel costs, their operating
and maintenance expense go right
along on the same basis as if the ton
mage available were normal. The only
possible decrease in cost to them will
be in the reduction of crews needed to
haul freight, and no railroad manage
ment enjoys that. because it means a
reduction in gross revenue and neces-
sfty for economy in improvements and
extensions.
Whatever the ultimate effect of the
crop shortage, it promises to afford a
demonstration of the fact that it is IN
just to compel railroads to carry freight
at rates established by the earnings of
the most prosperous years the country
has ever known without considering
also the possibility of years when nat
earning power of those same lines. No
business can be carried on successfully
through a period of years if it is COM
PEELED to base its charges on its maxi
mum earning capacity and on the aver
age of earnings possible for that pc
Rod; yet the proposal now before the
country involves exactly this PROPOSE
ton to establish transportation charges.
both passenger and freight, on the
basis of the showing for the past few
years, the most phenOmenally prosper
Gus period the United States has ever
known.
Confronted by the probability of a
crop shortage covering a large area of
the most productive region in Ameri-
ca, the people will learn that such a
proposal has no equity. no exact justice
I'm it; and that the chief sufferers will
be-not the men who control the trans
portation lines. but the whole nation.
and particularly the small stockholders
who depend upon dividends for their
Income.
