WANT NEW FREIGHT RATE:
NORFOLK CONNIE RcIAL CLUB DIS.
CuSSEs MATTER.
PREPARING DEFINITE ACTION

It Was Pointed Out at the Weekly
Meeting Of Directors That Lincoln
Enjoys a Much Better Rate From
Duluth Than Norfolk.
Members of the Commercial club,
sought to clarity their ideas on freight.
rates at the Tuesday morning meeting.
of the directors held in the Office of.
President Durland. Several Norfolk
men who are interested in freight rates.
were present at the meeting, Joining.
in the discussion of the general freight
rate question.
The net result of the meeting was,
the designation of w. II. Hoffman az
the chairman Of committee to draw
up concise report of what they con
ceive to be the important rate issue,
before Norfolk, outlining in clear
cut way the case that Norfolk can put.
before the railroads. The report wilE
be presented next week.
The discussion Tuesday morning;
was informal and was hampered 70 su
certain extent by the lack of essential
anu bVhhIbc IL WAN
agreed, however, that the rate mattec
should be approached in a spirit OF
fairness and that neither the clubs
nor the railroads attention should be
taken up with irrelevent or inessen,
tial matters. This 1t was said was ther
chief fault in the last rate agitatioua
started in Norfolk.
In the discussion Importance was6
given to the comparative rates from
Duluth to Lincoln and Norfolk. Tho
first class rate to Lincoln from Duluthh
was given as So cents, to Norfolk from
Duluth as Slip. 1t was pointed out.
that Norfolk was nearer to towns
which had the fiat Missouri river rate
than Lincoln was. The Chicago andg
Duluth rate to Emerson, it was said.
was so cents and from Duluth to Nor.
folk Slip, or difference of thirty-twu,
cents On lumber and coal Norfolk al.
ready enjoys the same rate as Lincoln.

REPORT ON BUILDING OPERATIONS
Increased Use Of Cement Has Not De.
creased Lumber Cut.


Washington. Feb. 3.-ln a report re-
garding building operations and the
timber supply, the geological survey
says that the increasing price OF lum'
Der and rapidly increasing use OF
perfected hreproof systems OF CON
struction should have much to do in
holding down the amount which for
ests are called upon to yield each
year. but that SO far these more sub
stantial materials have not decreased
the lumber cut OF the nation. Not
outstanding the remarkable In.
creased use of cement and other fire
proof material, the last reports Of the
building operations in forty-nine of the
leading cities OF the United States
for the year show that SO per cent
were of wooden construction. This
does not include the large quantities
of lumber used for the construction Of
dwellings, stores and other buildings
In the thousands OF small cities and
towns scattered over the country and
not included in the forty-nine cities
on which a reckoning was made.
In towns and small cities wood Is
usually the predominating building
material and it is safe to say that II
the statistics had included figures for
all places of whatever size, the per
centage of wooden construction would
have been much greater.
The average cost OF buildings Ia
constantly increasing, having risen
over $500 during the last three years.
The average value Of building In
given In the report as $2,035.

HIS
OWN PLATFORM
Member Republican Executive
Committee CritiCiZeS Plat
form of His Party @e-lee-=

, and a member of the Executive Com
mittee of the National Committe, in
the editorial columns of the paper
published by him, has criticised Sc
verely one of the planks of the plat
form on which Mr. Taft is running.
When Mr.. Bryar'sr attention was
called to the Omaha World Herald
editorial reproducing the Omaha
Bees attack upon the Republican
platform, he said:
Il am very much surprised that Mr..
Rosewater the head of the Republi-
can Bureau of Publicity, should at
tempt to misrepresent my position. A
good many unfair things have been
said, but nothing more unfair than
that.
"To accuse me of using the language
of the Republican platform is an out
rage. He ought to apologize for this
injustice and explain to his readers
that the language which he criticizes
was taken from the Republican plat
form and not from any speech OF
mine.
Mr. Rosewater is right, however,
in making fun of the language. He
is right in saying hat nothing 'pret-
tier in the catch all line has been Of
fered in this campaign
He is also right in saying that
The most hide-bound standpatter in
the country can accept that as salts
factory and the rank and the free
trader can find delight in it,
He is right again in saying that
"The declaration Of it means simply
nothing And again is right in say
ing An attempt to legislate along that
line would but simply open the way to
: interminable wrangling. But 1 hardly
expected from him so frank a confes-
sion.
This is rich find. 1t shows how
absurd the Republican platform looks
to Republican when the Republican
has chance to look at it in disin-
terested way"
