Tobacco Resolution Fight.

Party lines may not be drawn in
the fight over the adoption of the
resolution calling for an investiga-
ton of the tobacco troubles in Ken
lucky, when the report of the COM
mittee is considered. The resolution
has been made a special order for
Tuesday morning and will be fought
out then. The minority members
of the committee, who are all Re-
publicans, have made a minority re-
port. which is against the investiga-
ton. 1t is probable that the vote
will not be strictly according to par
ty utilization and there may be some
Republicans for it and some DEMO-
Gratis against it.
The minority claims that there is
no need for the investigation as the
troubles in the tobacco sections are
being investigated by several differ
ent courts, by the State and by the
Federal Government, and that no
further investigation would be of
any advantage. The following is
the report Of the minority members
of the committee giving the reasons
for opposing the passage of the res
olution:
Leaving out of view the general
and vague purposes of the commit
tee, as expressed in the resolution,
we are of the opinion that no sub.
stantial advantage can be expected
to follow from the proposed investi-
CATION, for the following reasons:
"First-Because we have already
upon the statute books of the State
very full and carefully-drawn stat
ute aimed at combinations of persons
and corporations whose object is
either to raise or depress the prices
of the various commodities
of commerce, and whose consti-
tutionality has been passed upon
by the courts, and which has already
been successfully invoked by the Of
ficials of the State to punish violat-
ors of its provisions, and, in our
opinion, no broader constitutional
statute can be effective.
Second-In our judgment it would
be extremely unwise for the State to
embark in the business of manufact-
uring tobacco, even if it be conceded
(Which we do not permit ourselves
to think we have the constitutional
power to engage in such enterprise.
Third We are advised that pro-
ceedings have been instituted in both
the Federal and State courts to
punish the alleged violations by the
so-called Tobacco Trust, under both
the State and Federal statutes on
this subject, and the litigation in the
Federal Court looks to a diOsslution
of the American Tobacco Company
as a corporation.
In our opinion the proposed inves-
tigation, so far as the ascertainment
of facts are concerned, would be en-
tirely barren of results, as they are
familiar to every Senator and can
be easily ascertained at smaller eX-
pense. In lieu of such resolution !
we respectfully suggest to the Sem
ate that a resolution be passed call
ing upon Congress to take the tax
off manufactured tobacco, so that |
growers, if they so desire, can man

Gross Revenues Fell Off Only a
Fraction of One Per Cent.

New York, Dec. 10.-The general de-
preston which set in during the fall OF
1907, resulted in reduction in the gross
revenues of the Union Pacific and its
auxiliaries of only thirty-five one hun
dredthS of 1 per cent. according to a
statement in President E. H Harri-
mans annual report which was made
public today. From January 1, until
the close of the fiscal year on June 80,
1908, there was a decrease of $4,125, ,018,
but as there was an increase of $780,
645 in the gross revenue during the first
half of the year there was a shrinkage
in the years gross revenue of only
$269, 1878.
A remarkable difference in the cost
of operation in the first and second
halves of the year is shown. Against
the increase in gross revenues during
the first six months there was an in
crease of $1,545, 357 in operating expen-
ses, while to partly offset the decrease
during the six months ending June 30,
the operating expenses were reduced S3,-
49, 5S4.
expenses during the first half year re-
suited from the expenses incident to
the greater amount of traffic moved,
which in the preceding year had al
ready reached proportions where it
exceeded the limit of handling it econ
omically, from the greater cost of fuel
and other material, from the higher
wage schedules, and from the eX-
penses of rebuilding it's bridges and
restoring to its former standard the
roadway damaged by the disastrous
floods and heavy snowstorms of the
spring of 1901"
The gross operating revenues for
the year amounted to $76,039,224, a
decrease of $269.373, as compared
with the previous year. After the
payment of all fixed charges there re-
manned a surplus for the year of $19,-
699, ,70S, a decrease of $5,007,0S1. The
income from other sources than
transportation during the year
to $16,O19,691, an increase
of $4,549,5 $50, leaving a total surplus
for the year after payment of divi-
dends of S45S,133 as compared with
the preceding year.

CANNON DROPS A HINT.
Won't Let Extravagant River and
Harbor Bill Get by Him.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Prominent
speakers, among them Joseph G. Can
non, speaker of the house and Joaquin
Nabuco, ambassador from Brazil, ad-
dressed today's session of the national
rivers and harbors congress, now be-
ing held in this city.
Ambassador Nabuco spoke on the
rivers ports of Brazil. w. e. Ed
parliament. told of the water
ways of Canada. The Atlantic
coast interest in the national rivers
and harbors policy was the subject of
which Anthony Higgins, former
United States senator from Delaware,
addressed the convention, while James
w. Van C1eave, president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
told of the manufa cturer's interest in
waterway improvement. Utilization
of waterways as a factor in trans
portation was the subject of an ad
dress by J. A. Ockerson, a member of
the Mississippi commission
Among the speakers at the after
noon session was Governor Charles D.
Deneen of Illinois, who told of the work
done by Illinois in connection with its
waterways and Robert L. Owen,
United States senator from Oklahoma,
whose topic was "Oklahoma's interest
in the development of the nations
waterways"
Speaker Cannon said he agreed
with the rivers and harbors congress
that the waterways of the country
must be improved. but he advised
against what he termed unsafe and
unsound legislation with respect to the
waterway improvements. He said
that if the rivers and harbors COM
mittee should report a bill at this ses-
sion providing for the issue of ST.
100000 dollars worth of bonds in the
next 10 years he would vote against
it because he said such a course would
beget that kind of a ombination that
would put great quantities of i'll ad-
V1sed projects upon the country and
there would be a serious accounting
therefor later on.
Il have no doubt" he said, that
some of those people who a quarter
of a century ago tried to stamp out
political life by voting for the river
and harbOr bill in 1888 over the veto
of President Arthur, will say that I
am reacttonary, sort of fly in the
ointment, that stand here in the way.
