Thomas +. Walsh, mining magnate
and ten times millionaire, would make
money getting franchise and sell
it at high price.
"You favor a graduated tax on ac-
cumulated fortunes?" he was asked.
Yes, and on those which are in the
process of accumulation We shall
always have rich men; they are part
of civilization. The world has never
stood still and never will. Conse-
quently,, while great fortunes are un-
avoidable and indispensable I think
the rich should pay for the privilege
of making money. And it is a priv
ilege say what you will. e. H. Har-

The people buy his shares and bonds
Their patronage is compelled, not ply
sically but morally, because of the in
strumentalities which he controls.
They think they see an opportunity
for gain through him. His railroads
span continent. Thus his reputation
grows month by month and year by
year, and thus his privilege increases
in it's possibilities and value. Every
dollar he gets comes from the public,
and the only difference between him
and the butcher and grocer is that he
doesn't deal in necessities. When a
man makes $16,000,000 in day by
reason of his advantageous relations
to society, to his fellow creatures the
state should demand a good part of it.
To honest wealth already acquired, we
should say We purpose to respect

Does the possession of great wealth
promote selfishness and arrogance?"

ILLbRING MILLIONS.
PLAN to SELL PANAMA BONDS
FOR Cash IMMEDIATELY,
Treasury to Issue $4,000, 900 Bonds,
500, 900 Certificates OF Indebted
ness-Approved by President-Teils
People Absurdity OF Becoming
Alarmed and Creating Stringency.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Secretary
Cortelyou has made the important an
nouncement that as means Of afford
ing relief to the financial situation, the
treasury would issue $50,000,00o of
Panama canal bonds and 800, 0OO, 900
certificates of Indebtedness, or SO much
thereof as may be necessary. The GER
tificates will run for one year and will
bear 3 per cent interest. The secre-
tary's action In coming to the relief of
the financial situation meets with Pres
ident Roosevelt's hearty approval, and
the plan is the outcome of the several
White House conferences.
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford substantial
relief, as the law provides that they
may be used as a basis for additional
bank circulation. He also states that
the proceeds from the sale Of certifi-
Gates can be made directly available
at points where the need Is most
urgent, and especially for the move
ment of crops, which, he says, IF prop
erly accelerated, will give the great
est relief and result In the most i'm
mediate financial returns
The secretary calls attention to the
attractiveness of the bonds and certif1-
Gates as absolutely safe investments.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him to
meet public expenditures without with
drawing for that purpose any appre-
cable amount Of the public moneys
now deposited in national banks
throughout the country.
Two treasury circulars, one inviting
proposals for the issue Of bonds, and
the other asking for the certificates,
will be sent out under date of Novem-
Der Is.
In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou
approving the treasury plans, Presi-
dent Roosevelt states that he has been
assured that the leaders in congress
have under consideration currency
measure, which will meet in perma'
nent fashion the needs Of the situation
and which I believe will be passed at
an early date after congress convenes
two weeks hence"
The president also calls attention to
what Is needed most at this time is
that the people should realize how
fundamentally sound business condi
lions In this country are, and how ab
surd it Is to permit themselves to ge1
into a panic and create stringency
by boarding their savings instead O.
trusting perfectly sound banks

Roosevelt Announces Great Conference
in May.
President Roosevelt has invited the
meet him at the White House May -,
ID and Is next to discuss the question
of means to conserve the natural re-
sources Of the country" Invitations
are to be extended to the members Of
both houses Of congress and to the in
land waterways commission. The i'm
portance and manner in which the
subject is to be considered are indi-
Gated in the presidents letter to the
governors, which says, in part:
1T is evident that the abundant nat
ural resources on which the welfare
of this nation rests are becoming de.
pleted, and in not a few cases are al
ready exhausted This is true of all
portions of the United States; 1t is es
pecially true Of the longer settled
communities of the east The gravity
of the situation must, / believe, appeal
with special force to the governors Of
the states, because of their close rela
tons to the people and their RESPONSE
bility for the welfare of their com
munities.
1.-THE matters to be considered al
this conference are not confined to any
region or. group of states, but are o.
vital concern to the nation as a whole
and to all the people. These subjects
include the use and conservation of the
mineral resources, the resources Of the
land and the resources Of the water:
in every part of our territory.
'In order to open discussion I shall
invite a few recognized authorities t
present brief descriptions Of actua
facts and conditions, without argu
ment, leaving the conference to dea

Convics Escape.

The most sensational prision break
that has occurred at the Reno, New.
prison in many years took place Mon.
day afternoon, when the oonvicts Rich
ard Forrest, James Watson and John
Edwards overpowered their guards,
shooting one through the hand, and
taking possession of butcher wagon
in the prison yard drove into the hills.
Deputy Sheriff Knoblock was one OF
the first to find the trail of the escaped
oonvicts. He no sooner got started
than he was informed of their location
by bullet whistling by his head.
Knoblock saw two men duck out OF
sight beneath the high sagebrush and
he soon had them covered with his
gun. They surrendered and were taker

Plan to Move the Wheat.

The National Bank of Commerce of
Seattle has submitted plan for the
moving of the wheat crop of the In
land Empire. The plan is to exchange
sight drafts on New York for the
wheat, which drafts will be payable
within Is days after the wheat is de-
livered to the exporter. Ordinarily
the wheat is paid for in sight drafts
on London, which very much prolongs
the time which the local banks must
carry the accounts. R. r. Spencer,
vice president of the National Bank of
Commerce, stated that If the export
ers would agree to accept these sight
drafts on New York he would under
take to furnish the cash and credi@
necessary to get the crop started on
its way to Europe. Mr. Loose, repre-
senting the wheat interests, has stated
that he has little doubt that the plan
will be accepted.

is THERE A WHEAT CLIQUE?
State Railroad Commission Suspects
Railroads Aid Alleged
Combine,

Olympia, Wash, Nov 20.-The state
railroad commission is cunning for
suspected combine Of railroads and
warehousemen that is said to be at
tempting to bar out independent wheat
buyers in eastern Washington, and an
nouncement is made at the commission
offices that the commission will keep
busy on the work until the combine,
such exists, is broken up for all time.
In fact, the commission is rather in
clined to force Warehousemen out Of
the business of buying grain and into
strictly warehouse business.
What gives ground for the belief
there is such collision between the
warehousemen and the railroads is the
fact that this year the warehousemen
adopted a new and peculiar form Of re-
ceipt, and at the same time the rail
roads adopted rule not to supply cars
to independent buyers unless the same
were ordered through some warehouse
man.
Heretofore warehouse receipts given
for wheat simply receipted for GER
tain number Of sacks and bushels OF
grain to be delivered on surrender OF
the receipt and payment of charges.
This year the receipt reads that the
wheat was to be delivered sin the order
in which cars are received"
Immediately following the protest OF
the grain growers against this form Of
receipt came the complaint from indie
pendent buyers that the railroads
would not supply them with cars.
The commission promptly investi.
gated the latter report and was at first
positively informed by railroad officials
there was no such rule. and If any
agent had enforced such a rule he had
done SO without authority.
The commission then made further
investigation and found there was this
discrimination and again demanded az
explanation from the railroads. Then
the roads admitted there is such rule
and now the roads are defending it as
proper and fair.
