EverY Phase Covered.

Practically all the members of the board
of governors Of the club were in attend
ance at yesterdays meetings and the dis
cussion was prolonged for nearly three
hours, every phase of the increase in the
cost of coal being covered. More data IS
desired on several points, however by the
board and for this reason the report to be
given the public will be withheld for sew
eraI days.
It is expected that when the report is
issued it will review the cost of produc-
ton of coal in Utah and wyoming for five
or six years past, the increase since that
time in the cost Of production and in the
retail price
Incidental to the announcement made by
the members Of the board yesterday, and
as admitted by local freight officials that
coal is hauled at so much per ton, irre-
spective of the length of the haul into
Salt Lake, it may be said that at Sidney,
Neb., where Rock Springs, Wyoming. coal
is used exclusively, that fuel is now sell
ing at 50 a ton. an increase of 81 being
made only recently. The Rock Springs
people have no competition at Sidney and
absolutely control that market.

BRYAN ANSWERS
TAFT'S SPEECH
Not Much Left of Secretary'S
Argument When the Ne
braSkan Gets Through.
ENTHUSIASM IN OKLAHOMA
THOUSANDS GATHER TO HEAR
DEMOCRATIC GOSPEL.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept 5-Ten
thousand persons heard William J. Bryan
here tonight reply to the recent address
of SECRETARY of War Taft upon the Ok
lahoma-Indian Territory political situa-
ton in convention hall and 5000 persons
who were unable to secure admittance to
the auditorium attended an overflow
meeting near by Mr. Bryan was enthu-
siastically received. In addition to scor-
ing Secretary Taft soundly for placing
his personal ambitions above the welfare
of the people of Oklahoma and attack
ing the views of Secretary Taft on ma
tional policies, Mr.. Bryan declared that
state was even better than that of the
United States. Mr. Bryan said:
The "Great Postponer."
Secretary Taft in his speech made in
this territory a few days ago advised the
people TO reject the proposed constitution
and postpone statehood until another en-
abling act can be secured. At first blush
one might suspect that the secretary 8
advice was due to his personal interest
in the next election. He might be &C
cused OF advising the postponement OF
statehood with a view to keeping seven
electoral votes out of the Democratic col
umn. but the more generous view TO take
of the matter is that his advice resulted
from his habits of thought. He is in
clined to postpone everything He prom
ises to acquire the title of the great
postponer.'
Taft's Position on the Tariff.
In a speech made not long ago at Co
lumbus. O., he announced himself as in
favor of tariff reform, but he would post
pOne it until after the next election. He
agreed with the president in regard to the
wisdom of an Inheritance tax, but that
too, he would postpone until a more
convenient season. He did not seriously
object TO valuation of railroads, but he
did not declare for it Immediately. He
is on the way to the Philippines to tell
the Filipinos that while he thinks they
ought to have government after
awhile, he wants it postponed for the
present. 1t is not strange, therefore, that
he should yield to his ruling spirit in
the matter of statehood and tell you to
put it Off.

GETTING LIGHT ON
COAL SITUATION
Railroads Charge Same Rate
Regardless of Length of
Haul.
EXPLANATION OF OFFICIALS
BOARD OF COMMERCE WILL IS
SUE STATEMENT TO PUBLIC.

Are the charges made by railroads in
Utah for hauling coal to Salt Lake the
cause of the excessive price of that fuel
in this city?
In a report to be submitted to the public
by the Commercial club within the next
ten days this Indictment will in all prob
ability be emphatiCally alleged.
The board of governors of the club held
another special meeting yesterday to in
vestigate the causes for the high price OF
coal in Salt Lake and at the close OF the
conference a prominent member of the
board stated that there is practically no
question but that high freight rates are
responsible for the price local consumers
are paying for Utah fuel
General Manager Williams of the Utah
Fuel company was present at the confer
enCe and made an exhaustive explanation
as to the reason Utah coal was raised 50
cents a ton this year. While the members
of the board would not go into Mr.. VIII
liams' statement for publication ii is IN
derStOOd he laid the blame for the in
creased cost of coal at the door of the in
creased cost of labor and mining mater
ials, as well as the high freight rates
It's All the Same.
The Denver & Rio Grande road charges
the same rate per ton for hauling coal
from Utah mines to Salt Lake as does the
Union Pacific road for hauling coal TO
Salt Lake from the Wyoming mines. and
city that the Utah mines are.
The charge is made by the ton and not
by the mile. The distance coal is hauled
into Salt Lake does not make any differ
ence with the rate charged by the roads
for hauling it. This fact is admitted by
all the freight officials Of the local roads.
That matter has been threshed out
time and again. said s. Y. Derrah. as
sistant general freight agent Of the Den
yer & Rio Grande. last night. Suppose
we cut our rates in two. or hauled coal
at so much mile instead of by the ton
The Wyoming mine owners would shut
their coal from this market instantly and
a famine in fuel would result that would
be worse than anything Salt Lake has
imagined. If the two roads charged by
the mile, our rates would be lowered, pos
sibly. and in any event they would be
somewhat lower than the rates the Union
Pacific would charge, as that road has
twice as far to haul the coal to get IL
here. The Wyoming operators would not
be able to compete with the Utah opera
tors in the intermOUntain market and the
Utah fields could not take care Of the
demand.
1T is an established principle in making
railroad freight rates on coal or anything
else that the market conditions of the
commodity hauled must be taken into
consideration Another thing. 1 don't
know w-haf difference hauling coal al so
much per mile would make with us. We
have some very steep mountains to climb
between the southern Utah coal fields
and Salt Lake. One mountain is 50 steep
we have to use three engines on q train
to climb it. and this would naturally
make the rate higher than had we no sucn
grades.

Taft's Position on the Tariff.
Oklahoma Constitution.

Mr.. Bryan took up one by one Mr..
Tafts objections to the Oklahoma consti-
tuition and argued against the soundness
Of the secretary's contentious. Mr.. Bry-
an continued:
THE secretary, after picking out every
thing that seemed Objectionable and ig
nOring every provision of the COnStitu-
ton that seemed good, proceeded TO make
an argument in favor of Republican pol
icies in the nation. He asked you to
cast your lot with the Republican party
rather than with the Democratic party.
If he had been frank with you he would
have told you that the only popularity
the Republican party has is due TO its
adoption of a part OF the Democratic
platform. But, If he had told you that
YOU would have replied that IL would be

party and follow hesitatingly after the
Democratic party has pointed out the
way He appeals to you to stand by
ptotection. although he did not enter into
any argument on the subject. Have you
read his Columbus speech2 If so you
Will find in il an arraiSnment of protec-
ton as we have it tOday-an appeal for
a revision of the tariff, but he paralyzed
the force of his own speech by post
poning the tariff reform until after the
election.
Never Take Action.
Tariff reform is never undertaken by
the Republicans Just after a Republican

er undertaken before an election for fear
it will interfere with another Republican
victory.
THE people of Oklahoma have no in

teCtive tariff.
for the same whether it is made up into
cloth I'm the United States or in Europe,
for the foreign trade fixes the price here
and the same may be said of wheat, the
corn and the cattle produced by the
farmers of Oklahoma And yet, when
the farmers attempt to invest their in

not only find prices increased by the
protective tariff but still further in
creased by the combinations which man

Taft Dodged on Trusts.
1.-THE farmers of Oklahoma will find lit
tie consolation in the fact that while
American manufacturers sell abroad
cheaper than at home, Republican lead
ers like Secretary Taft are insisting that
no reforms shall be attempted except
through the Republican party and with
the consent of the tariff barons them

because he favors taking a backward
step on that question.
Secretary Taft also made a plea in

glad that Secretary Taft has referred to
the Philippine question, for his discus

set forth in the declaration of independ-
ence.

SQUARE CLOTH is LIKED.
Easier to Launder and Has More
Graceful Effect.

The round tablecloth which was in.
troduced about IL years ago and at.
tanned great popularity, is not nearly
SO much sought for this year. House
keepers have discovered that it is
much more difficult to launder smooth
ly than q square tablecloth, while
dropping corners even on round table
give more graceful effect to the table
than does circular cloth. It is not
generally known that the high-grade
cloths were originally imported square,
but were afterward cut around to or.
der, the patterns usually allowing this.
While floral designs are always popu.
lar, the most expensive weaves now
come in the empire, Louis XIV. Louis
XIV. and Louis XVI, with conventional
and geometrical designs. Plain satin
damask without any pattern is also in
great demand for dinner and lunch
cloths, but is decorated with lace and
drawn-work designs done by hand. In
laces used with dinner cloths or in tea
trays of Italian filet is at present the
most popular, though Byzantine,
Burano and crepon are also in high
favor. The Chinese hand-embroidered
grass linen centerpieces and doilies
launder beautifully and are most serv-
tceable. The embroidery on these is
very lustrous and rich looking. They
come in the delft blues and white, in
floral designs and in the dragon de-
sign.

A Dinner Dilemma.

1t was an awkward dilemma In
which minister found himself day
or so ago. He had accepted an invita-.
ton to dine with a member of his
church. and rack his brain as he
might he could not fix the identity of
the prospective hostess. At last, after
much mental exercise, he concluded
that the most likely person was Mrs.
A, and at the proper hour he touch.
ed the bell button at her door, was
admitted, and hung up his hat, not
daring to ask If that was the house to
which he had been invited. Dinner
was announced in due time and was
heartily enjoyed by the minister, who,
after couple of hours spent in con-
versation, departed for his home,
chuckling over his success in so hap.
PLY solving the dinner problem. The
next afternoon the minister CHANGED
to meet Mrs. A and Mrs. B., an.
other of his parishioners, while taking
stroll.
What happened to you last even.
ing?" inquired Mrs. b. 1--WE kept the
dinner waiting for you an hour be-
yond the usual time, but you did not
appear"
Then and there the light broke in
upon the minister. He had been in.
vited by Mrs. B, but had dined with
Mrs. A. He made complete confes,
sion, then an apology, and promised
that hereafter he will make every din
ner invitation matter of record.
