problem of a fair adjustment between the railroads and the people through the government is problem of great CT responsibility than any other prob lem of the generation. We must face it with open minds. laying aside all personal ambition and our private pre- judice tO seek first the good of all the people. which is also the good of all the railroads.
 l should like tO take up in sections the several points that seem to form the basis not only of the popular agi- tation. but also of most of the legis- lation. wise and unwise. now proposed by the lawmakers of the United States.
 ELIMINATION OF THE REBATE
 The Hepburn act is effective. and is both just and wise. As time goes on. the machinery for the enforcement cf the act will improve. and should inn prove. and the enlightened railroad managers will cooperate Ui;h the people to enforce the law. I believe in the principle of the act. which is that there shall be uniformity of charges without illegal discrimination or un-
 
 pers or communities as against an other. I believe that the rebafa is a thing of the past as principle. eval though in the very nature of things there will probably never be absolute perfection in this matter any p:ore than there can be perfection in the matter of mail delivery. army adm.n- istratiOn. or any other organiZC q ad- ministrative function involving such Q large percentage of our population
 VALUATION OF RAILROADS.
 Valuation for the purpose of estab- fishing a basis for fixing transporta- tion charges would not be of any dis advantage to the railroads. except to further disturb present financial con- ditions, but of no practical value for the purpose Of arriving at a fair and equitable basis for rate-making. and l do not believe that it would cure the existing ills.
 As a railroad manager. I should not oppose it. nor do I see how the right of the government to make such val uation can be challenged. even though doubt its ultimate efficiency in ac- complaining the practical results for which il is being urged. The expense it would entail on the government would be unwise. as all the clements constituting the principle of fair and equitable rates can be had through other sources of information at the governments command-which will be reliable while the valuation theory will not.

HAYWOOD HAS
 HIS INNINGS
The Story of the Defense
 is Under Way
A Showing Made of the Animus of Harry Orchard Against Steunenberg.

Boise, June 2j.-The first direct tcs- timory in defense Of Haywood was of fcred today and chiefly directed to- ward showing that orchard. blaming Steunenberg for the loss of his inter est in the Hercules mine. had threat cned to have revenge by killing him. and that the conduct of Orchard and K. C. Sterling. both before the Inde- pcndence explosion when they were frequently seen together. and after ward. when Sterling called off the bloodhOunds. following Orchards trail. justified the inference that the mine owners had inspired the crime
 The calling of the first witness for the defense was preceded by ; further examination of Orchard. to permit the defense to complete it's formal iih- peachment questions. The questions are all in connection with the claim that Orchard killed Steuenberg be- cause of an alleged grudge growing out Of the sale of his interest in the Hercules mine
 Orchard who came into court under the protection of the same squadron Of guards which always acts as his escort. maintained his old calmness "i manner and spoke in the ssssue low pitched, soft tone. He again denied that he ever threatened to kill Steuncn- berg because of the Hercules mine. and again he asserted that ne sold his interest before the trouble that drove him out of northern Idaho.
 Two witnesses called later in the day. swore that orchard did threaten t"- kill Steuenberg because of tae Her cules matter and tho defense has pre- pared the way for such testimony from g dozen more witnesses. The two heard today were r, R., Reid. once of Grip ple Creek. and the other Was Charles A. Sullivan.

railroad. the purpose of which is to engage in interstate traffic either over it's own rails or through connecting lines. Such legislation should be made with the fact clearly in mind that in some sections of this country there are large areas that need railroads. and that they cannot get the railroads un- less the builders are allowed to make profit. or to see the chance of prof it's. on the building. The law should, however. make it impossible to gain these profits more than once: and the requirements of railroads for new capital for improvement equipment. and development of the property. and the country served. should be placed under the supervision of the interstat" commerce commission. with authority only to authorize such increase of cap ital as the property needs fully to take care of its requirements.
 This is a question that will require careful consideration and the commis- sloners should be allowed sufficient latitude for them to use some discre- ton as conditions may warrant.

The feeling of the country in ftv- co of the deposition of the king. and the establishment of republic in Por- tugal is intense.

LOCALIZED TRAFFIC ASSO-
 CATION

I do not believe that railroad pools should be legalized. but I do believe that traffic associations between rail- roads should be allowed. Suppose, for instance. that two railroads can reach all the lumber traffic of the states Of Texas and Washington. They might form a pool within ertain connecting lines northward and east ward. whereby those connecting lines should receive all this lumber for transportation beyond the northern and eastern termini of the two lines. A pool is a closed association. A traffic association, on the other hand. is open. and all the connecting fines are allowed to participate The fed eral government, by endorsing pool. would give an advantage to few of the strongers lines to the detriment of others not parties to the pool. B. Iegalizing the traffic association. how ever. the government would be legis- lating for the whole. rather than for the part This is the true function of government.
 When the government shall have es- tablished its interstate traffic agents at the different commercial centers of the country. the federal traffic repre- sentative should attend the meetings of the railroad traffic associations, where all matters pertaining to the movement of traffic rules, rates. and regulations governing same. could be discussed between the officers of the reads and the representative of the

Such publicity will be found the ultimate safeguard of the laws looking toward fair rates and equitable dealings. and will. at the same time. afford to the investor an other proper test of value for the se- curitieS he hlIVs or owns
