it is hardly fair to blame them for de-
monding the same rates that are given
for long distance journeys and tor the
maximum of comfort and luXuries And
that ia the reason this tWo-cent-a-m.le
wave swept over the west. The people OF
nv state do not need a reduction. 1heE
can afford to pay maximum rates better
than they ever could, but they demand
relief from discrimination. 1hey demand
that local fares shall be as low as through
fares; and that all patrons of the railway
shall he treated alike regardless of the
distance of their journey. At the same
time they do not insist that rates shall be
unrea sonable. and the the law contains
2 provision that our courts shall deter
mine whether the new rates are reason
able or not. The Minnesota suit involves
that right, and the forthcoming decision
of the Supreme Court will determine
whether the state courts shall decide the
reasonableness of the new rates: that the
state courts may judge whether rail-
road can afford to carry passengers at
= cents mile or not.

stamps, newspapers and the salaries OF

ways have to pay more for labor. rams

Then why should they be compelled TO re-

Basis of Railway Rates.
RAILROAD rates are based upon the
value and not the cost of the service re-
piled Mr. Hadley. No relation exists be-
tween the charges imposed for Transports
ton and the expense of doing the bust
ness. In other words. the theory upon
which railroad is operated Is to fix the
freight charges according to the value OF
the service and not upon the basis OF the
cost of the service. In railroad vernacular
the charge Is made as high as the traffic
will stand And there has been persist;
emit, ably executed and successful EFFORT on
the part of the railroads to be participa-
tors in the country's prosperity by charg-
ing each class of traffic such rate as
will give the largest possible return to
the railroad company and give to the
shipper only such return as will keep
him sufficiently encouraged to continue
the conduct Of his business.
II believe that the governments of the
states and the national government can
regulate the operation of the railroads and
can fix the charges for frelGhts and pas
senger traffic without injustice to them
and with fairness to the people. Moreover.
7 do not think there can be any question
that an increasing number OF people In
this country believe that the most salts

TAFT PREPARES FOR
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
Secretary to Make More
Vigorous Fight for
|. Nomination

WASHINGTON, June so.--Secretary
Taft is preparing. a political speech, the
first he has written since he became Il
candidate for the presidency. He has
not yet decided where it will be deiiv-
cred, but the fact that he has made
up his mind to discuss the issues of
the day Is construed by politicians to
mean that Taft has at last concluded
to do what his friends have all along
been urging him to do-make a vigor-
GUS campaign for the nomination.
In his speeches thus far Secretary
Taft has discussed the various prob
lens of the war department. He has
talked about the philippines, Cuba. the
canal and other enterprises with which
he has been laboring. He has carefully
avoided the more Interesting topics of
the railroads and tariff and corporation
regulations. The promise is now made
that the secretary will tackle these
larger and more entertaining subjects
and win make known his views on
them. It Is probable that the Taft
platform will be announced when the
secretary makes his address to the
Oklahoma republican state convention.
Mutual friends are arranging a date
for this gathering
OF course, secrstary Taft will support
the Roosevelt policy. He is in such
complete harmony with 1t that the
president believes Taft is the most
available candidate in the field. Con-
sequently Taft will be expected to favor
litigation for the further regulation Of
the railroads and perhaps laws for
checking the growth of personal for

TROUBLE IN STORE FOR
FREsNO'S MEAT TRUST
District Attorney Calls on
the Grand Jury to
Suppress Evil
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

FRESNO, June 3o.-District Attor-
ney D. S. Church has threatened to
seek the aid of the grand jury to sup
press the local meat trust. BY a great
coup recently the McHenry meat com-
pany purchased the only independent
meat market in the city and now all OF
the shops must buy their meat from
that concern.
For long time A Bracker operated
an Independent slaughter house. To
fight this the McHenry company is al
legged to have authorized ruinous cut
prices at some of the other shops. Ono
market was started in a local depart
ment store and continually sold meat
at prices lower than beef on the hooe.
Bracker first agreed to sell out for
$4,000. He repented this agreement and
threatened to bring action through the
Cartwright antitrust law. BY this
method the final price was raised to
ss.250. Attorney Church stated that
while evidence would be hard to get,
he would call the attention of the grand
jury to the state of affairs He stated
that he thought he could get several
indictments.

SEVEN MILLIONS To De
PAID IN DIVIDENDS TODAY
Release of This Big Sum
Will Give Impetus to
Building

A juicy melon will be cut to-
day for San Francisco property
owners, builders, business and la
boring men, and the handing out
of the slices will result in a strong
impetus to rebuilding and recon
struction. 1t is today that the
serniannual dividends of savings
banks and industrial companies
of large capitalization are due,
and with the payment of this
money at slightly increased
percentage over the payment of
last January, it is estimated
$1,000, 900 or more in cash will be
put into immediate circulation and will
be available at once for building pur-
poses.
While the amount is comparatively
small in relation to the vast sum
needed for reconstruction, It is In a
form that will permit of ats use at
once. and being parceled out in cash
among individuals and concerns with
large projects at hand, will result in
a noticeable advance in building activ-
ity. The fact that the dividend pay
ments are to be made today has al
ready made itself felt. and there is a
more pronounced optimistic view con-
cerning industrial work among busi-
nessmen and contractors than there has
been for several weeks.
Financiers well versed in regard to
local conditions estimated yesterday
that the cash flotation resulting from
the semiannual dividend payments
would approximate s7.o0o,0 0oo The
savings bank deposits in the city
amount to upward Of 100000 900, while
the dividend bearing stocks and bonds
OF industrial corporations should a.
mount to as much more. at a conserve
tive estimate. the average annual
dividend of all these concerns will
reach almost. If not entirely. four per
cent, making the basis of the present
dividend distribution virtually per
cent
The rate Of interest. too. has in
creased from quarter to half per
cent over that of the January distribu-
tion. though the sum on which divi-
dends will be made is virtually the
same. The need of money has caused

PROJECT FOR SAFETY

AS the first step in its plan to
improve and in some places re-
construct the main line between
Oakland pier and Suisun, the
Southern Pacific company has
purchased q large strip of lard
from the San Francisco, Oakland
and San Jose railroad company,
lying north of the broad gauge
Oakland mole and inside the Key
Route company's buIkhead TO be used
for the elimination of death curve
at the head Of the mole.
Some time ago announcement was
made by the Southern Pacific officials
that they intended to change the main
line tracks entrance to the mole by
cutting out the dangerous curve which
runs from tie company's western right
of way from Sixteenth street station 70
the mole. The only route available
was one across the Key Route inclOsed
lands. Negotiations between the two
companies have been pending for some
time over the purchase of the neces-
sary lands and the sale has now been
consummated. The bay shore land
purchased by the Southern Pacific from
the Key Route company embraces a
triangular area running northward
from the head of the mole as far as
Dalton & Sons foundry. and covering
a site large enough to permit the
construction OF new inlet and
outlet to the mole The new tracks
will make a short cuton between
the Sixteenth street depot and

~~~~%-<
WASHINGTON, June 3d.
Assistant Secretary Of State Adee
tonight entered a diplomatic de-
nial of the report that the state
department had made inquiries
concerning speech or interview
in which Ambassador James
Bryce commended the constitu-
ton of Oklahoma. He said an
anonymous letter had been re-
ceived, however, enclosing a
newspaper clipping of what
Bryce is supposed to have said.
Notwithstanding the denial,
practically everybody who knows how
hard President Roosevelt worked in
his successful efforts to get rid of Sir
Henry Mortimer Durand. the former
British minister. and then how much
harder he tried to control the election
Of Durands successor is inclined to be-
lieve that the author of The Ameri-
can Commonwealth stands on vol
cano in which the hidden force is
President Roosevelt.
Bryce was not the presidents choice.
Sir Spring Rice, at present minister to
Persia, Is the man in whose behalf
White House influence was sxerted
Rice was secretary OF the legation
while Roosevelt was civil service com
missioner. They were so chummy that
1t was "Springy' and Teddy" with
them.
1T is the most rigid rule that a dipio-
mat must not discuss the internal af-
fairs of the country to which he is ac-
credited. Especially must he avoid put
ting the administration in an embar-
RAISING position
If the reputed views of Bryce are
really his he has committed the great
est possible offense. He has embar-
rassed the president by approving
something which the president is NOR
ally certain to disapprove.
If Bryce is called to account for
views he is said to have expressed he
will be the second British diplomat to
get into trouble on account of American
politics inside of a score of years.
During the 1888 campaign Sir Lionel
Sackville West wrote letter to man
who signed himself Murcheson, advis-
ing him as former British subject to
vote for Cleveland. President Cleve-
land sent him home instantly.
