clause declaring against utilization or
the tariff for the promotion of mon
opoly is also among the probabilities.
Next to the tariff the financial
plank has received most careful at
tention, but the enactment of the
emergency currency law just before
the close of the recent session of Con-
gress has rendered the preparation
of this plank much simpler than it
would have been If there had been no
such legislation. Congress will be
congratulated on the Aldrich-Vree-
land bill as in the interest of sound
finance and as calculated to protect
the business world against possible
panics in the near future and at the
same time provide for the permanent
improvement of our currency system
through the recommendations which
il is anticipated will be made by the
commission appointed under the new
law.
THE Republican, administration will
also be complimented on the passage
during the Fifty-ninth Congress of
the railroad rate law and this legisla-
ton win be pointed to as an example
of what the party will do for the
country al large in case it is given
such a lease of power as to afford 1t
sufficient time for the changes which
are believed to be desirable. The
president will also be given much
credit for recent legislation looking to
the preservation of the forests, con-
servation of the natural resources In
the interest of the entire country and
reclamation OF timber lands of the
west. The presidents attitude In the
matter. of the general protection of
the resources of the country will be
favorably commented upon as indi-
eating the best course for future leg
islation. His position in favor of
deepening of the channel of the Mis-
sissippi river and general improve
ment of the inland waterways will
come in for endorsement as will his
vigorous work in prosecuting con-
struction of the Panama canal.
The convention will place itself on
record as favoring such an amend
ment of the sherman antitrust law
as will enable the railroads to enter
into reasonable traffic agreements
without taking the risk of prosecu-
tiOE i'm the criminal courts.

ROADS WON'T INCREASE
THE FREIGHT RATES
Officials Meet ut New York and De-
eide That Time is Not Right
For Raising the Price,

Washington. June S.--No general
increase in freight rates is likely tn
be made by railroads in the near fu-
ture At a recent meeting of the
presidents and operating officials of
important roads in New York 1t was
the concensus of opinion that 1t would
be undesirable, If not absolutely i'm
practicable TO put into effect at this
time an increase in rates. II was ar
gued that the proposed increase In
time OF depression would tend rath-
er to increase freight stagnation than
to stimulate freight movement.

PACKERS ALARMED
At BEEF SHORTAGE
Sharp Increase I'm Price Said TO Be
Due to Lack of Cattle on the
Markets.

New York, June S.-Beef packers
throughout the United States, and
especially this section, are becoming
alarmed over the great shortage in
the beef supply. Since last week the
price has risen one to two cents on
a hundred pounds and is now around
one-third greater than 1t was the first
of June. 1907.
The sharp rise is said to be due en-
tirely to the shortage in the supply
of cattle, and there is talk of having
the beef which was exported to Eng
land last winter shipped back to this
country in cold storage. Export beef
from New York Is now practically nil.

Republican convention, Wade Ellis,
attorney general of Ohio, returned to-
day from Virginia Beach and was in
conference with Secretary Taft some
time. Both Taft and Ellis were
averse to making any statement re-
garding the platform, but neverthe-
less it was definitely asCertaiued that
aside from an enlargement of the
tariff plank the Ohio platform so as
q to declare for maximum schedules
and for a revision Of the tariff at an
extra session OF Congress imme diately
following the inauguration, the plat
form to be presented at Chicago will
be substantially the Ohio document.
Ellis expects to leave here today

The policies of President Roosevelt

will be the central idea of the docu.
ment These policies will be set forth

achievements will be lauded as at all
times wise and beneficial; as ever in

Specifically speaking, more atten-
ton has been given by the platform
makers to the tariff than TO any 9th

equivocal declaration for revision but
the disposition is to leave the working

cation of he situation. will afford
sufficient excuse for this course. az
the results OF these inquiries will be

they supposedly will furnish Congress
with a basis for action. This prepara-
tory step will be endorsed. and there
