CHANGES URGED TO
Be ADOPTED NOW
Those Things Advocated by
Roosevelt Agreed Upon by
Interested Ones.
THE ANTITRUST LAW !.
AMENDMENT WILL BE INTRO
DUCEO IN THE HOUSE BY HEP
BURN-MkNY INAUGURATION
TECHNICALLY VIOLATING ACT.

Washington, d. C., March 13-In
made to congress by the president in
his last annual message. and also in
the special message which he trans
mitted to that body several weeks ago,
bill will be introduced in the house
by Chairman Hepburn, of the commit
tee'on interstate and foreign commerce
providing for radical notifications Of
the Sherman antitrust law. This
measure is now being drawn up, and
its general provisions have been deter
mined upon at d series Of conferences
held at the white house. at which were
represented the government and thel
various interests affected.
Violations Are Numerous.
The bill will seek to bring up to date
the Sherman antitrust law in the man
ner suggested by the president. 1t
will exempt from its operation combi-
nations. industrial and otherwise,
which do no injustice to the public, and
particularly those which on the whole
are regarded as beneficial to the peO-
pie. The Sherman law is being VIC
lated technically today by a-larGe
number of corporate amalgamations,
but the administration does not feel
it should proceed against them for the
reason that they are not embraced in
the category of baneful trusts. 1t is
designed, however, that combinations
thus exempted shall submit to some
kind of government supervision such
as has been proposed on several occA-
sions by the president, and this super
vision will come within the jurisdic-
ton of the bureau of corporations.
1t is proposed in the bill also to ex-
empt labor unions from the operation
of the conspiracy in restraint of trade
clause of the Sherman act.
A third important provision of the
proposed law will permit railroads to
enter into pooling arrangements with
the idea of securing greater stability Of
rates and strengthening the present
safeguards against discrimination and
rebates
The proposed law will be designed to
smooth out many Of the rough edges
of some of the most important stat
utes now on the books and harmonic
them SO as to secure more satisfacto-
~ enforcement of them. The exemp-
ton to be offered to industrial combi-
nations which are in no sense vicious
is calculated by the president to check
much of the unrest now prevalent in
the business world and to dissipate
any apprehension that may be felt lest
in the enforcement of his policies he
might run amuck in financial and in
dustrial circles.

Risks In Railway journeys.

The idea that the man who goes on d
railway journey takes his life in his
hand and IS rather more likely than
not to meet with an untiuely death al
the first curve the train negotiates is
scarcely borne out by the fact that the
chances against any one passenger
meeting his death On the railway are
36.oO0,o0o to /. This immunity from
disaster reflects considerable credit
upon the companies. but still more upon
engine drivers and signalmen. whose
skill and care are the main factors In
the safety Of the senger.-London

enor- to awaken it from its peaceful
slumbors that Mr.. Halls speech was
made II was clear. logical and concise,
full Of fact and interesting data and
far reaching IN its scope. Alr Han
should have the support OF every voter
in the state IN his efforts to pass tins
bill. Perhaps putting lumber, wood
pulp and print paper on the free list
would not lower the present nigh
priccs-and We are Of the opinion that
il would not to any material degree,
but il would unquestiOnably do p,,a-
j., would put a stop. for a time at least,
to the skyward tendency of prices on
these commodities.
Cur forests are fast disappearing al

the asst timber lands Of the Canadian
Northwest to the lumbcrman with per
mission TO bring il across the border

There is also another side Of this
bill which is of vital importance 20 all.
from the little tot with his \. Il. {.
book to the grey headed man by the
nreside. Print paper probably enters
more largely into tn" making OF pleas
ant hours for the human racr than any
other one commodity. II is every
where. in looks. in the daily, in the
nome paper. in the letter from loved
ones: everywhere paper is indespen-
sable to content. At present II is within
the reach OF all because Of its cheap
ness. But how long will this last I'M
der present conditions. Already in the
past two years paper has risen III price
over - per cent with Il strong prob
ability OF a further raise of &C % per
cent within the next 90 days, and the
end can o be seen. The daily paper
has been advanced from 81 90 to $500
per year over old prices. The weekly
papers have nearly all advanced in
price. Books are getting more eXpen-
sive. writing paper is advancing: sim
ply because the duty on wood pulp and
print paper prohibits the importation
of that material, and the supply Of
timber in the United States suitable
for that purpose is almost exhausted.

will stand behind him in the present

A "kITTY" KCNkLUSlON

The returns from the March con
ventions. as has been represented
right along. show that the ~insurg"nt
or so called progressive faction OF the
party will control the April state con
vention to select delegates to the re-
publican national convention. 1t may

Crawford for the L. s. Senate but that
will not nominate him. They told us

ventions but with the direct primary

gents have the committees and the

make the nominations in June.-l.ake

and the old machine i'm their attempt

it's way" to endorse Crawford. Kit
spent two months of his time in try
ing to fix the convention so it would
go out of its way to give him an en-
dorsement. Further, to say that the
insurgents have the committees and
the machine is a dirty fling. Where
aver the old machine had the county
committees it appointed Kittredge
| delegates and ignored all progressive
sentiment. Where the progressives
had the committee in this county and
dispensed with the primary the del

old machine annot show such an
instance Of fairness. me machine
went into the contest for the control
of the April convention with some
thing like 1856 appointed delegates and
out of thirty counties holding primar-
les 1t only succeeded In securing about
80 delegates. Inc progressive major
ity was elected by the people. The
people will make the nominations in
June, and at the March primaries they
indicated quite clearly along what
lines those nominations will be made,

ii not true that the unprecedented act
