WILL NOT GENERALLY IMPAIR
 SECURITIES.

l am confident that the fixing of rates on the principles suggested above would not materially impair the pres ent market values of railway securi- ties in most cases for I believe that the normal increase in value of rail- way properties especially in their ter minals, will more than make up for the possible Ver-capitalization in earlier years. In some cases doubtless 1t will be found that over er-capitaliZa- ton is made an excuse for excessive rates and that they should be reduced but the concensus of opinion seems to be that the railroad rates generally in this country are reasonably low This is why doubtless the complaints filed with the interstate commerce commission against excessive rates are so few as compared with those against unlawful discrimination in rates between shippers and between places. Of course in the determina- -tion of the question whether this dis elimination is unlawful or not, the

 Mr Taft spoke an hour and seven
 minutes. Because of the intense heat he cut his enunciation of principles
 in many places, passing over entire sheets of his manuscript. Mir. Taft denounced the democratic anti-injunc- ton plank as vague and ambiguous, in contrast with the republican dec- laration, which he said was "clear
 and unequivocal."
 The occasion of the notification and acceptance was made a holiday by ithe loyal residents of Cincinnati. all of whom without regard to party affiliations, seemed to take some part | in the varying demonstrations. There
 were concerts in the down town parks, and parades. There was a flag raising at the Taft house, day flight fireworks, balloon ascensions, automobile rides and receptions for the visiting members of the notifica- ton committee, while tonight the heavens were ablaze for hours with

INDEPENDENCE
 CANDIDATES
Higsen for President.
 Graves Vice President
The Mention of Bryan's Name in the Convention Started a Riot.

Chicago, July 29.-The independence party convention adjourned tonight af- tier nominating Thomas l.. Higsen for president on the second ballot, and John Temple Graves for vice-presi- dent Adjournment was taken at 30 this morning.
 The first ballot for president was as follows: Hisgen 396. Howard 200, Graves 213, Lyon n, Hearst 49.
 The second ballot: Hisgen 590, Graves 1S9, Howard 109, Hearst AS
 When Kansas was reached in the nominations, J. l. Shepard asked if it was possible to present a candidate who was not a member of the party The reply was that the question had not yet arisen, whereupOn Shepard took the platform announcing that he had a candidate. He mentioned the candidate of the democratic party and a storm of misses and boos greeted his reference. he hall continued in an up- roar for several minutes, the galleries persisting in breaking into the pro .ceedings with jeers and irrelevant re- marks.
 Shepard was finally allowed to pro- ceed. He had spoken a few minutes when Charles II. Mitchell of Illinois offered a point of order, saying it was evident the speaker was about to nom- mate a man who was not a member of the party.
 A scene of riot immediately follow ed, several delegates attempting to gain the rostrum for the purpose of giving physical violence to the speaker A number of sergeant -at-arns threw themselves across the aisles in front of the rostrum and held back the in- furiated men by sheer physical strength.
 The declaration of principles were presented at the afternoon session by Clarence F. Shearn of New York
 Shearn read the platform with force and dramatic emphasis. The blanks on labor, currency. for the creation of an interstate court, for a greater navy for the popular election of both state and federal judges was heartily ap- plauded. The platform, as read, was adopted unanimously, the delegates evincing unbounded enthusiasm.
 A summary of the platform follows: First of importance, in order to restore the power of the government to the people. to make their will supreme at the primaries. in elections and in the control of public officials after they have been elected, We declare for di- rect nominations, the initiative and referendum. and the right of recall

NOTIFICATION
 OF MIR. TAFT
The Official Ceremony In the City of His Birth
Intense Heat Could Not De- press the Enthusiasm Ot the Audience.

Cincinnati. July 2S.-Officially not flied today of his nomination for the presidency. Mir. Taft, standing on the portico of his brothers home in this city of his nativity, formally accepted the honor- and pledged anew his ale eiance to the policies of Roosevelt and declared that the chief function of the next administration would be t1 clinch what had already been ac- complished by the present occupant of the White House.
 Tn doing this, however, Mir. Taft pointed out in what is regarded as a conservative note in his address. that there would be serious and diff cult work to do but principally ito devise ways and means in which the high level of business integrity and obedience to the law which Roosevelt has established may be maintained and departures from it restrained without undue interference with le- gitimate business
 MT. Taft attacked the democratic platform. asserting that most of its declarations were either inconsistent or disingenuouS. Bryan's policies were held as destructive.
 The vast audience that heard the candidate. filling the porches lawn and streets surrounding the Taft res idence seeming not to mind the in- tense heat and was responsive to Mr. Tafts every mood and there were loud cries of "No," when he said: T submit to those most interested, t5 wage earners. to farmers, to bus mess men. whether the introduction into the government of the demo- cratic party with Bryan at its head, and the business destruction that 1t openly advocates as a remedy for the present evils. will bring about the

Reval. July 2S.-President Fallieres and the members of his suite, who ar rived yesterday to visit the Emperor of Russia. were the guests of his maj esty at luncheon today on board the imperial yacht. The emperor greeted the president with great cOrdiality. The simplicity and frankness of Fal- Heres has evidently made a deep i'm pression on the emperor.

, of railways It is clear that the sum ! of all rates or receipts of a railroad less proper expenses, should be limited | to a fair profit upon the reasonable value of it's property, and that if the
 same exceeds this measure it ought to be reduced The difficulty in enforc- ing the principle is in ascertaining | what is the reasonable value of the company's property and in fixing what is a fair profit. Ii is clear that the physical value of a railroad and it's plant is an element to be given weight | in determining it's full value; put as | President Roosevelt, in his InGianapo- ] lis speech and the supreme court have | pointed out, the value of railroads as | a going concern, including its good will due to efficiency of service ard many ] other circumstances may be greater than the value of it's tangible property and it is the former that measures the investment on which a fair profit must be allowed. Then. too, the question what is fair profit is one involving not
 only the rate of interest usually earned
 on normally safe investments. but also
 sufficient. allowance to make up for liit HEN bl lOSS Dbli ul Cdillistt anu lIl-
 terest in the original outlay. These considerations will have justified the compan:' in imposing charges high enough tn secure a fli- income on the enterprise as a whole. The securities
 at market prices will rave rasSed into
 the hands of subseqa gus purchasers frhm the original investor. 2 S.th cir
 cSimStan"cs should proper.v affect the decision of the tribunal engaged in de- termining whether the total of rates charged is reasonable or excessive. To ignore them might 'so seriously and unjustly impair settled values as to destroy all hope of restoring confidence and for ever end inducement for investment in new railroad construction which in re- turning prosperous times is to be es- sential to our material progress. AS MT. Roosevelt has said in speaking of this very subject:
 "The effect of such valuation and supervision of securities cannot be re- troactive. Existing securities should be tested by laws in existence at the time of their issue. This nation would no more injure securities which have bttpIit an important part or the na- tiOnal wealth than it would consider proposition to repudiate the national debt"
 The question of rates and the treat ment of railways is one that has two sides. The shippers are certainly en- titled to reasonable rates; but loss is an injustice to the carriers. Good in- vestment by the railways is essential to general prosperity. Injustice to them is not alone injustice to stock holders and capitalists whose further investments may be necessary for the good of the whole country, but it di- rectly affects and reduces the wages of railway employees and indeed. may deprive them of their places entirely
 From what has been said the proper conclusion would seem to be that in attempting to determine whether the entire schedule of rates of a railway is excessive, the physical valuation of the road is a relevant and important. but not necessarily a controlling fac f...s

tions directed by the president under the antitrust law have had q similar moral effect in the gen eral business community and have made it now the common prac- tice for the great industrial corpora tions to consult with the law with a view to keeping within it's provisions. It has also had the effect of protect ing and encouraging small and com petitive companies so that they have been enabled to do a profitable busi- ness.
 But we should be blind to the ordi- nary working of human nature. if we do not recognize that the moral stan dards set by President Roosevelt will not continue to be observed by those whom cupidity and a desire for finan- cial power may tempt until the re- quisite machinery is introduced into the law which shall in it's practical opera Mon maintain these standards and se- cure the country against q departure from them

CHIEF FUNCTION OF NEXT AD. MINISTRATION TO CLlNCH
 WHAT HAS BEEN DONE

The chief function of the next ad- ministration in my judgment is dis tinct from, and a progressive devel- .opment of that which has been per formed by President Roosevelt. The chief function of the next ad- ministration is to perfect the ma 'chinery by which these stand ards may be maintained by promptly restrained and punished. but which shall operate with sufficient ac- curacy and dispatch to interfere with the great business as little as possible. Such machinery is not now adequate. Under the present rate bill and under all it's amendments, the burden of the interstate commerce commission is su- pervising and regulating the operation of the railroads of this country have grown so heavy that it is utterly im- possible for that tribunal to hear and dispose, in any reasonable time, of the many complaints, queries and is sues of it's jurisdiction as an execu- tive, directing body and it's functions should be limited to the quasi judicial investigation of complaints by individ- udlS ana DN d department or the gov ernment charged with the executive business of supervising the operation of railways.
 There should be a classification of that very small percentage of indus trial corporations having power and opportunity to effect illegal restrain.s of trades and monopolies and legisla- tion either inducing or compelling them to subject themselves to registry and to proper publicity regulations and supervisions of the department of

INSTRUCTIVE WORK OF NEXT
 ADMINISTRATION.

The field covered by industrial com binations and by railroads is so very extensive that the interests of the public and in the interests of the busi- ness concerned cannot be properly subserved except by reorganization of bureaus in the department of com merce and labor. of agriculture and development of justice and a change in the Jurisdiction of the interstate com merce commission. It does not assist matters to prescribe new duties for the interstate commerce commission which 1t is practically impossible for it to perform, or to denounce new offenSes with drastic punishment unless sub ordinate and ancillary legislation shall be passed making possible the quick enforcement in the great variety of cases which are constantly arising of the principles laid down by Mir. Roose- Velt and With respect to which only typical instances of prosecutions with the present machinery are possible. Such legislation should and would greatly promote the great business by enabling those anxious to obey the fed eral statutes to know just what are the bounds of their lawful action. The practical construction and difficult work therefore, of those who follow Mir. Roosevelt is to devise ways and means by which the high level of business integrity and obedience to law which he has established may be maintained and departures from it res trained without undue interference with legitimate business.
 It is agreeable to note in this re- gard that the republican platform eX- pressly, and the democratic platform implicitly approve an amendment to the interstate commerce law. by which interstate railways may make useful traffic agreements if approved by the commission. This has been strongly recommended by President Roosevelt and will make for the benefit of the business

President Roosevelt has set high the standard of business morality. The railroad rate bill was more useful pos sibly, in the immediate moral effect of it's passage than even in the legal effect of it's very useful provision. From it's enactment dates the volun- tary abandonment of the practice of rebates and determinations by the railroads, and the return by their managers to obedience to law in the fixing of tariffs.
