PAPER TRUST SCORED
BY PUBL ISHER NORRIS
Question of Tariff on Pulp 0C-
cupieS Special Committee
of the House.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-A severe
arraigpment Of the so-called "paper
trust" was the feature of today s
tariff hearing before the House Com
mittee on Wavs and Means, which was
in session until nearly midnight. After
hearing arguments mainly for a protec.
tive tariff. which occupied their at.
tention until after . o'clock, the com
mittee listened to the testimony Of
John Norris. representing the Ameri.
can Newspaper Publishers association.
Mr. Norris argued for free trade in
pulp and print paper, giving many
figures to show that the protection af-
forded the paper manufacturers by the
present tariff resulted in unreasonable
prices,
Representatives of Typographical, en-
gravers, pTcssmeD, stereOtypcrs and
electrotypers unions supported Mr..
Norris contentious, with the addi-
tional argument that the increased cost
of paper reduced the SIZE OF the news
papers and gave less work and lower
wages.
The paper manufacturers occupied
fhc rest Of the time, and were sharply
questioned by Democratic mombcrs of
the committee. Arthur j, Hastings of
New York, president Of the American
Paper Pulp association, admitted that
dividends as high as % per cent had
been paid by the Cliff Paper company
Of Niagara, Of which he is the head
In addition the ompany had earned
in twenty years S200,000 on capital
of 100000.

Response Comes Quickly,

Response Comes Quickly.
Soon a company Of fifty men had
been gathered and work was immedi-
ate!y begun to tunnel into the mine
Crowds from town began to arrive
shortly after the alarm had been given
and all at once volunteered their SER
vices in the matter of rescue. Steady
progress was made until at little past
! clock this morning, when the
company of stalwart men reached
the bodies, which were lying near the
bottom Of the shaft, and they were
brought 10 the surface. All were dead.
and despite the heroic efforts of DR..
Ray and his corps of able assistants it
was impossible to resuscitate them.
Word was Immediately telephoned TO
Justice Dana T. Smith and his brother,
Max Z. Smith The latter, with Su.
perintendent Schilling of the mine and
several other officials. arrived an hour
later, having made the trip In an auto
mobile.
At the time OF the accident mum.
ber of miners were at work in another
them and they managed 10 make their
escape without coming into contact with
the gas. Among those who escaped
were Ned Woods, Ed Sickle, Royal
Ruby, j. Mann and B. Pickering. They
had experienced none of the unpleasant
sensations from the gas, and were not
aware OF what had happened until they
reached the surface.
OF Peculiar Nature.
Just the nature Of the gas is not
known. but it said TO be a combiua
tioD of smoke and gas, the result Of
blasting in the mine during the day
a candle VIII burn in it, but human
being cannot live in it, owing to the
great depression upon the heart.
With the arrival OF DR.. Ray, he i'm
mediately telephoned for his assistants
and, taking off his coat, assisted the
men in their work of rescue. His as.
sistants rendered medical aid under the
physician S instructions, and then
jumped into the work of rescue.
Popular Salt Laker.
Kent Smith, the general foreman,
who gave up his life along with Burns
and Wilson in an effort TO ascertain
the cause Of the trouble in the shaft,
was 81 years Of age, married, and is
survived by a widow and one, child;
For the past two or three years he bad
been in the employ Of the Utah Copper
company, and was considered one of
the most valuable men. Ho is widely
known in Salt Lake, where be has
wide circle of friends, and is n son of
DR.. a. K. Smith, prominent physician
Of that city. He enjoyed the reputa.
tiou here of being one of the kindliest
men TO work under, and possessed a
host of friends in this town.
Spiasero was 80 years Of age, single,
and had been. employed at the mine
for some time. The other men had been
in the employ of the company for some
time. and also were well known.

GOOD ROADS

!" HILE the campaign for good
w roads is in progress we would
appeal to every reader to think
of his individual relation to that cam
paign and to take an Individual, per-
sonal and aggressive interest in It,
We cannot believe there is the slight
est ground for doubling the success
of the bond issue; but because we
think it is likely to be successful we
do not intend to lay aside our armor
and relax our vigilance, and we must
urge all citizens to remain on guard
until the battle is won. A great deal
may be accomplished before election
day If all readers who are we'll posted
on the subject of improved roads will
act as if they were members of a mis-
sionary endeavor society and will
boost the bond issue wherever they
think their efforts will do most good.
The apathetic citizen should be
aroused. He should be told he ought
not to depend on his neighbours en-
deavors for every public improvement
AAC OiiJOSo LAAclL 10 WI III having. IL
Is not fair that some citizens should sit
by, inactive, while others use their
brains and their time and finally their
votes in bringing about results which
will be greatly beneficial to Los An
geles and Southern California. We
hope each of the readers OF The Her
aid will take an active, personal inter-
est in the good roads movement and
will persuade all his friends to study
the question.
Every intelligent man should realize
as keenly as he realizes the profits or
losses Of his private business that the
welfare and future prosperity of South
ern California will only be as great as
facilities for transportation and COM
munication will allow. 1t was for this
reason that all wideawake people were
enthusiastic over the project for the
improvement of San Pedro harbor. 1t
is for this reason all wideawake people
are equally enthusiastic over good
roads for the best section of the best
state in the Union.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-07-21
THE TRICKSTER

CALIFORNIA is increasing so rapidly
I in population and resources that 1t
~ is high time ALL conditions detri-
mental to growth or progress were out
grown. Some of the greatest interests of
the state are commercially more or less
at the mercy of an INSCRIPTIONS plum
derbund, the central agent and chief
source of power in which is a railroad
corporation. Protected by the most intri-
cate and skillful web of corruption
ism and patronage ever devised, this
great politico-railroad spider sits, al
ways hungry and never satisfied, YER
liable Oliver Twist among corporation
spiders, always wanting MORE. With
readjustment of conditions to con-
formity with constitutional principles
and the practices of common honesty,
the corruptly protected corporation
which owns and operates the web would
soon have to return to the first prin-
ciples Of fair and square honesty, or go
out of business. 1t is a sad reflection
upon modern society that there should
be the slightest question, doubt or diff
Guilty about the enforcement of a law;
but readers of magazine articles are
thoroughly familiar with the fact that,
under a Republican government, crafty
schemers everywhere apparently mis-
took the Republican war cry 'protec-
ton" for protection" of any kind of
chicanery which would yield an uncha1-
lenged revenue. If the income was big
enough the Republican conscience was
satisfied.
But, as that great American docu-
ment. the Democratic platform, says in
it's preamble, Of late there has been an
conscience no exceptions to the rule of
square dealing will be tolerated. If the
public in any way has been cheated
out of it's just rights. the day Of reck-
oning is at hand for the trickster, no
matter how sly, for the schemer, no
matter how cunning, for the robber, nc
matter how adroit.
In the general plan of the CON-
sCIENTIOUS RECONSTRUCTION OF
THE UNITED STATES, ON THE
LINES OF THE FIRST PRINCIPLES
OF AMERICANISM, every law-defy'
ing interest will be included. Califor.
MIA must do it's part in the big nationa
house cleaning for conscience sake BY
electing a legislature which will TAKE
steps to ENFORCE the law violated by
the Southern Pacific company, IL no
with the acquiescence of the members
of the state railroad commission ant
the attorney general, at any rate with
out markedly aggressive official inter
ference on their part.
