FORTH HIS PLATFORM
MAKES WHAT HE TERMS HIS
'"POLlTIcAL CONFESSIONS OF
FAITH"

Columbus. Ohio, Aug. 21.-William
H. Taft, secretary of the war depart
ment, made what he was pleased to
term his political confessions of
faith at Memorial hall last night. The
Auditorium, which has a seating ca
pacity Of over 5000, was packed to the
doors and several thousand people
were unable to gain admittance. The
secretary spoke under the auspices OF
the Buckeye Republican club, and the
address was notable from the fact that
it is regarded as the platform upon
which he will make his campaign for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent.
Mr.. Taft made no formal announce
ment Of his candidacy, but he was in
troduced by Gov. Harris as the next
president, which was the signal for a
prolonged outburst of applause.
Favors Tariff Revision.
Special interest was manifested In
Secretary Taft's u%tterances on the
tariff. He reiterated his previous dec
larations in favor of revision, and de-
clared that it would be both unwise
and unsafe for the Republican party
to fail to pledge itself to revise the
Dingley bill as soon after the next
presidential election as possible.
Mr.. Taft also declared in favor Of
Imprisonment of individuals RESPONSE
BILE for violations of the ANTITRUST law
and for the giving or accepting OF re-
bates as more effective than fines. His
defense of President Roosevelt's poll
cies evoked enthusiastic applause.
Principles Laid Down by Taft.
Some of the principles laid doown
by Secretary Taft rel
Amend the rate law; to provide for
classification Of merchandise for trans
portation; to prevent overcapitaliza-
ton OF railroads; to make it unlawful
for an interstate railway to acquire
stock in 4 competing line; to prohibit
competing lines from having common
directors; to permit rate agreements
between competing lines, subject to
approval by the interstate commerce
commission.
Government regulation of railroads,
but not government ownership.
Punish illegal Trusts.
Restraint Of injunctive process Of H.
legal trusts and punishment with all
the severity of criminal prosecution Of
every attempt on the part Of aggregat-
ed capital to suppress competition
through illegal means.
Action by the separate states to re-
duce swollen fortunes" and passage
of a federal graduated inheritance tax
law in case the national revenues need
an increase or adjustment.
D~enunciation of the initiative and
referendum as a national measure.

GIGANTIC PAPER
COMBINE FORMING
EVERY PAPER MILL IN MiNNESO.
IA, WISCONSIN AND MICH.
GAN IN DEAL.
TRUST TO MAKE GOOD THREAT

Appleton, Wis, Aug. IS. The In.
ternational Paper company is behind
the print paper merger which Is now
being brought to a successful close.
This much was given out by a manu-
facturer who stands high in the paper
trade and who has mills which will en-
ter the merger.
The informant goes further than
that. He says that every print paper,
manila fiber, sulphite and ground
plant in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan will be taken into the gil
gantic company. He says that options
are now held on practically all of the
mills. He added that within twelve
months the International will control
the print paper market Of the United
States. To do this the company will
expend from $50, 0oO,0 900 to $50, 0O0,-
900 in buying up the plants in the Mid
die West.
Hanrahan at the Helm.
To John G. Hanrahan of New York,
who successfully engineered the merg-
ing the twenty-five mills in the Ameri-
can Writing company and the thirty
two mills IN the International Paper
company, belongs the credit for the
Western merger.
The manufacturer puts himself on
record as stating that the price of
print paper will advance to 4 cents to
the jobber and 6 cents to the small
buyer within two years.
When the General Paper company
was dissolved by Judge Sanborn of
the United States court of appeals at
st. Paul on June Is, 1906, the state
ment was openly made by members of
the alleged trust that the press of the
country, which had fought the social.
ed trust, would regret it. This time of
regret is said to be in the near future,
when the impending deal will have
been contaminated and the Interna
tional, which will then control the
print paper market of the United
States, will be able to arbitrarily fix
It's own prices.
Dodge Antitrust Law.
There are seventy-eight print paper
mills In the United States, and the alb
sorption of the mills of the Middle
West by the International, in addition
to its present great holdings in the
East. will give 1t the control Of over
two-thirds of the print paper plants in
the country, and the consumer will
pay the fiddler.
The merger, 1t is said, will be con.
Quoted on the same lines as the Inter.
national, SO as not to conflict with the
antitrust laws and meet the fate of
the General Paper company. Practi.
cally the only competition it will have
will be the Great Northern Paper com
pany, which manufactures only a
small fraction of the print paper used
In the country.
