Roosevelt to Ask A New Trust Act.

President Roosevelt has completed a large section of his annual message to congress. Following his comment upon the election, which he will con- strue as a full indorsement of his ad- ministration, he will reiterate his former and yet untufilled recom- mendatious contained in preceding messages. He will pass the tariff issue with the mere mention that it will be the first great: matter handled under President Taft,
 1t can be stated that the president will send what will be recognized as a characteristic" message. That tells the story pretty well. The fact that it is his last congressional ses. sion, and that it will be only a short session, will in no wise cause the president to hesitate in asking for all the things he wants.
 With the tariff taken care of Presi- dent Roosevelt will present the case of those various reform measures he has been pressing in the past. The list will include:
 Practical and effective amendment of the Sherman antitrust act, with the view of establishing some govern ment supervision of the great indus commerce commission maintains over the railroads.
 Some considerable extension ot the powers of the interstate commission iH the matter of controlling rates, especially the power to prevent a rate or schedule ot rates taking ef- feet until after the commission shall have had opportunity to examine and determine it's prima facie reasonable ness.
 Liberal appropriation for the con- tinued enforcement of the uniform railroad accounting provision of the Hepburn act.
 Passage of the government em- ployes' liability act. Increase of the naval establishment by the construction of two new bat tleships at feast, and probably a re- newdl of the request for four.
 Provision for establishment of for est reserve in the Appalachian re- zion.
 Inauguration of an effective federal control over the water powers of the country, with a view to pre- venting their monopolization by pri- vate interests and to assure that power shall be sold at reasonable rates.
 Internal waterways improvement and development.
 Campaign fund publicity.
 Whether the president will men, tion income and inheritance taxes and the making of a valuation ot the railroads is not yet decided. Whete- CT he will speak relative to these sub jects as vigorously as has been his won't is not made known.

Baptist Convention at Tucson.

Rev. T. F. McCourtney, we'll known Tn Douglas, wrote the following con- cerning the Arizona Baptist associa- tion, which was held in Tucson, be- gining last Saturday,:
 "The Baptist association closed its session Monuay, last week, with an ex- cellent sermon from Pastor w. M. Riddle from Clifton
 "Ihe session has been a most help full ard inspiring one. The lecture on the Holy Land by Rev. C. c. Young was enjoyed by good congregation Sunday evening. The program Mon day was full of interest and the sub jects were all fully discussed. Rev. J. A. Elliott made the organization and purpose of the Northern Baptist con- vention Gear and plain. The mission question as it pertains to the foreign CT in our midst, and medical missions, was fully presented by Brethren J. E. Kanarr and w. M. Riddle, and those who failed to hear them missed d great fund of information and real soul feast.
 ''It has been thought by some that the association would appoint pas tor for the Tucson church. But those who entertain such ideas do not un- derstand the fundamentals of Baptist doctrine. Baptists have always advo- C tied absolute freedom of individuals a I'd churches. No association con vention or any person or combination O. persons, have ever had the power u appoint d pastor for a Baptist C lurCh. The First Baptist church of Tucson is now in touch with Dr. Spen- cer of North Adam, Massa chusetts, who may soon become pastor for the church. In Case he should not be se- cured other men are availablt and no doubt d pastor will soon be found.
 "The next meeting of the associa- tion will be held with the church at Globe, Arizona"

While the North Da- kota follows nearly d dozen other great vessels launched at the Fore River yards, her advent into the sea was regarded as establishing a new epoch in the history of the United States navy, because of her strength, both on attack and on defense, by the additional thickness of her armor, eight inches, and by the fact that she is the first all-big-gun ship of the navy.

Ralph Cameron, Delegate Elect.

Ralph Cameron was born in Maine fifty-one years ago. He came to Arizona in 1880, locating at Flagstaff, where he engaged in mining and later in sheep raising. When Coco nino county was created he was made sheriff and served two terms in that capacity. He is the present long term supervisor of that county. It was MT. Cameron who built the famous Bright Angel Trail. When the Santa Fe railroad came along and coveted that famous gateway to the Grand Canyon, Cameron refused to sell out and the company waged bitter warfare against him in the district and supreme courts. in the legislature and in the halls of con gross, but Cameron came out the victor. Ralph Cameron is man of action, he is fighter, a live one, who will get something for Arizona in Washington. He is well known in the Capitol City, his business inter- estS having required him to make frequent visits to Washington, and he has many warm friends among the great men in the republican party.
 MT. Cameron is a man of tireless energy. He has met with reverses, but has always surmoucted them. The people of Arizona have learned from experience that it does not pay. to send a democratic delegate to a republican congress. MT. Cameron is in sympathy with the administra- tion and the majority in congress and is in a position to do something for this territory in Washington Press.

FRISCO LOWERS RATES.
Tariffs Cut on Rope and Tinware Be-
tween Joplin and st. Louis.

Joplin, Mo, Oct. 3O.-Announce-
ment of a reduction in the freight
rates on rope and tinware from St
Louis to Joplin, and an assurance of
results in the near future on the part
of local officials of the Frisco rail-
road were the developments yesterday
in the efforts of the shippers of Joplin
to secure a freight rate adjustment on
commodities in which it is alleged
Joplin is being Disseminated against
and in favor of Springfield.
The announcement of the reduction
in rope and tinware rates was not
wholly a surprise, as it had been fore
casted in communication sent to the
Interstate Commerce commission by
Freight Traffic Manager j. A. Middle
ton, of the Frisco, resulting in the
decision by local shippers to carry the
proposition through formal procedure.

of the short line mileage between New
York and Chicago, then the large trans
continental mail tonnage which is now
carried by those roads will be turned
over to the Pennsylvania. The order
states that the new basis shall date
from the last reweighing of the mails,
which was in July, 1907.
To comply with the demand of the
government will cost the railroads
named at least $225, 900 every four year
period between the reweighing of the
mails. The New York Central Lines
management has not decided what it
will do, but 1t is not likely that it will
permit these roads to lose the prestige
which they have had for years as the
fast transcontinental mail route. The
compensation of the New York Central
lines is based upon the mileage of over
$50 miles. The short line mileage from
New York to Chicago is by the Penn
sylvania, its 18-hour train covering 906
miles. The other Pennsylvania trains
cover 912 miles, the greater distance be-
ing required by the run into Philadel-
phla and out again.
The New York Central lines carry
the transcontinental mails destined for
the northern and middle west, while
the transcontinental mails for the
southern portions of the west go over
the Pennsylvania by the way of ST.
Louis. 1t is understood that the gov
eminent was moved to make the change
in the basis of compensation by rea-
son of the result of the fight between
the Rock Island and the Burlington
roades over the Omaha and Denver
mails. The Rock Island demanded the
mail carrying privilege between Chi
cagO and those western points, basing
the claim upon a saving of more than
$4,000 annually which would be effect
ed. The mails, it was claimed. could
be transferred at Englewood, thereby
saving much time and considerab BILE
mileage. In addition to this the Rock
Island is land grant line, and there
would be a deduction in compensation
on this account. The Burlington. v
cording to the announcement made by
the postmaster general agreed to meet
the conditions on the Rock Island as
TO time and distance. and it was, there
fore. permitted to retain the mails.
The Willingness of the Burlington to
cut It's compensation to the short line
basis suggested to the department that
other roads would manifest similar
Willingness rather than lose the mails.
Inc burlington may now be asked to
meet the short line mileage basis be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City or give
the contract to the Santa Fe.
