IMPRINT.

h imprint OF Senator A. Il. Kit
redge is upon the following legisla
ton Of a national character. all OF
which he supported n with regard
to many of which he offered amend
ments to strengthen certain provi
sionS in the interests of the country:
The oleomargarine act of May 5
1902, approved March 8, 1902. This
measure provides for a heavy tax
upon oleomargarine that is sold in
imitation of butter. 1t also contains
provisions with reference to removal
ed butter n adulterated butter. II
is clearly in the interests of the great
dairying industry of the nation.
The reclamation act of June II,
1902, by which large tracts of west,
ern land are to be reclaimed and
opened to homestead settlement, the
settler being assured water for irri.
eating purposes at actual cost.
The act of February II, 1903, max.
ing provision for e%Xpediting the dis
position of antitrust cases. 1t com.
mands the courts to give precedence
to such cases n provides that an
appeal may be made direct to the SUI.
preme court, and that such suits must
have consideration to the exclusion
OF others of different character, even
though the others may have beer first
instituted.
The act of establishing the depart
ment of commerce and labor, Februa-
~ IA, 1903. This law is so well I'M
derstood as to need no comment.
The safety appliance act of Feb
ruary %, 1902, March 2, 1903, and
panies are required within a reason
able time to provide safety equip
ment for all their trains.
The employers liability act of June
IL, 1906, holding employers liable
for injuries resulting from negligence.
The meat inspection act of June 80,
1906, that the big packing concerns
so vigorously opposed.
The pure food act of June 80, 1906.
This is one of the most important
pieces Of national legislation within
recent years. 1t provides not only
that articles of food shall be sold
under proper brands, imposing heavy
penalties for adulteratiOn. but that
with regard to weights and measures
there shall be no deception practiced.
The railroad rate act of June 80,
1906. This bill was amended so as
to strengthen it in some respects
through the efforts of Senator Kilt
redge, who, with regard to all materi-
al points, stood shoulder to shoulder
with the Roosevelt administration.
The act of June 7, 1906, requiring
the collection of statistics by the fed
eral government every five years
concerning public utility corporations.
The act of June Z. 1906, abolishing
the federal tax on denatured alcohol.
This measure was intended to provide
cheaper material as a substitute for
gasoline in cases where it may be uti-
1ized.
The act of March 2, 1907, for a re-
ductiOn in the cost of the tr%ansportar
ton of the mails.
The Nelson amendment to the cur
'ency bill, which directed the secre~
airy OF the treasury to deposit the
ustoms duties, amounting to approx
mately a third Of a billion dollars a
ear, in those responsible banks that
'ould pay two percent per annum on
ally balances for the use of the
Oney.
Is the position of Senator Kittredge
tn regard to any Of these measures

stance, had "petitioned" Mr.. kittredge
to vote against the railroad rate bill

in doing so and then setting up the

Gil, and that vicious >gross-earnings

Corbett-Brock Bout a Draw.

New Orleans Dec. 14.-'tYoung
Corbett'' and Phil Brock fought ten
rounds to a draw before a large
crowd at the Southern Athletic club
Saturday night The crowd was in
favor of Brock throughout the mill
but it was evident that Corbett had
the better of the game. In the eighth
round Brock was all but out, but
Corbett's blows did not have the
steam to make any one of them a
knockout Neither man was knocked
down and there was little blood. Cor
bett showed more science and better
generalship than the younger fighter.
