Approve LaFollette Idea.

We believe that the ascertalnment Of
the physical valuation of the property of
all public service corporations Is essential
to any intelligent establishment of rates
and the proper control of such corpora
lions, and that all public service corpora
tions shall be required to keep a uniform
system OF bookkeeping and accounts,
which shall at all times be open to the
inspection Of the Interstate Commerce
commission and the established boards Of
railroad commissioners and assessment
boards OF the several states
We demand the enactment Of laws by
congress supervising the incorporation of
all public service corporations engaged in
Interstate commerce under national laws
to the end that interstate commerce may
be under complete national regulation
without lmpairing the power of each state
TO regulate the trade OF each state be-
ginning and ending within its borders.
We favor the enactment OF laws pro-
yiding that the power granting temporary
injunctiOns be regulated and the enact
ment of an employers liability law, a ma
tional graduated income tax and tax
upon Inheritance.
We favor also the comprehensive and
permanent Improvement OF the Mississippi

Huron, S. D., April 9.--Going the
Ohio republicans one better on the tar
If and giving Senator LaFollette the
compliment of an Endorsement or MS
plans for a physical valuation of rail-
roads, resolutions by the South Dakota
republican convention today presented
to the state the platform on which
Governor Coe l. Crawford will make
his campaign for the United States
Senate.
The resolutions open with n tribute
to President Roosevelt. The Roosevelt
policies are declared TO be the crown
ing virtue Of all the achievements OF
the republican party" standing for
that righteousness which exaltetE a
nation"
In view Of his refusal to accept an
other nomination, the resolutions de-
clare for the nomination OF William III.
Taft, "a man OF great ability, Of broad
experience and whose judicial and ad-
ministrative training peculiarly equip
him for the broad and varied duties OF
chief executive
The delegates are instructed TO vote
for Taft and use their influence In his
behalf. This wording will permit the
delegates to transfer their support to
some other candidate II the nomination
of Taft finally appears to be impossible.
The features of the resolution which
may be fairly considered the campaign
platform Of the progressive republican
party, and hence the platform of Gov
ernor Crawford in his effort for nomin-
alton for the Senate are expressed as
fellows:
We believe in the policy OF protection
to American Industries under which the
nation has become prosperous and power
full in the commerce of the world, favor
ing, however, an immediate revision Of
the tariff schedule, which revision shall
place lumber, coal and iron upon the free
list and that the tariff shall be removed
from all articles the price OF production
of which is controlled by trust or mo-
nOpoly.
We commend the enactment of the rail
way rate law and the extension of the
powers Of the Interstate Com
mercc commission and we favor extend
ing to said commission the absolute power
TO hx and establish minimum rates on
interstate traffic Of public service cor
porations and that rate Of classification
once established shall not he advanced
without the consent Of the commission,
and that the commission shall have power
to prosecute all trusts and monopolies.

absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer. The
Fairmont Hotel today has capacity for
taking care of one thousand guests.
Its entertainment features are so nu-
merous and so varied that, as has hap
pened many times, as many as six diff
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings, can be held
under it's roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and eXpe
rienced globe-trotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From it's windows (for
every room in this magnificent hostelry
is an outside room) can be seen the
superb panorama of the Golden Gate,
the Bay of San Francisco, crowded with
ships from all parts of the world, the
mountains and hills of Contra Costa
County on the other side of the bay,
with Mt Diablo 80 miles to the south
east, and Mt. st. Helena over a hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline In the immediate foreground
of the hotel Iies the busy city, in which
new steel sky-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt in
a new and better way, is but few
minutes walk from the door of the
hotel. By means of the various street
car lines which pass its doors all parts
of the city, the ferries and railroad
stations, the banks and exchanges, re-
tail business and theater centers, as
well as the residence portions of the
city can be easily reached.
The Fairmont Hotel differs from al
most any similar institution in the num-
Der of unique features which it offers
for the entertainment of its guests.
Because of these, it is easily the social
center of San Francisco; you might
say, of the State. just as the old Palace
Hotel, which is now being rebuilt on a
new and greater scale at the old site
on Market street, was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
guests of all nations, so the
Fairmont, under the same management
which so adequately took care of the
affairs of the Palace. is most cosmo-

politan, and in its halls will be found
the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one Of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful. 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. It's walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are a very sociable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. It is
the best illustration of a hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, a char
acteristic of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers of
quaint design, made of handwrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, a broau
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city.
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed in,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene,
one largely of Paris or the
in London. Here parties
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautifu1
panorama of mountain and sea.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
variety of it's different dining places
In them one may find a place to dine
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers a convenient grill for
ladies and gentlemen. Further on is
the main dining salon, with accommoda
tons for three hundred people. This

Two years ago, when the fire was rag
ing at its worst, the sight of the classic
outlines of the Fairmont Hotel, stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou,
sands. When the flames swirled ferceIy
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of it's in
terror. How well the building was con-
structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
fire and it's Accomplishments without a
single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything 1nfammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at a cost of over two
million dollars, the work of recOnstruc-
ton went on. Over a million dollars
was spent in interior finishings and fur
niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak we'll for the care and taste used
in the selection. The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with a splen-
did reception, to which nearly all San
Francisco came.
The hotel was not fully complete at
that time. Some of the rooms on the
upper floors were not ready, but when
the Palace Hotel Company, which for,
merly operated the old Palace Hotel on
Market street, took hold, determined to
push things through, the work went on
with amazing rapidity. Today, more
than any other building in San Fran
cisco, the Fairmont stands a monument
to the energy and determination of her
citizens.
In it San Franciscans have a hotel
of which they can justly be proud, as
in the matter of location, it stands
