Judge Taft's voice permitted him tc
be heard fairly well. His speaking
assistant during the day was Repre-
sentative Adam Bede OF Minnesota
who jokingly referred to the candidate
as the upholstered statesman" He

Taft and Bryan was that you could
see Taft much further than you could
hear him, n you could hear Bryan
much further than you could see him

A New Kind of Swindlc.

Reports have it that q new kind OF
swindling game has been worked on
a farmer near Algona, Iowa. a
we'll dressed fellow came through the
country stating that he was author
lied to test cows for tuberculosis,
OF course the farmer, hearing so
much about what was being done in
regard to the prevention OF tuber-
culosis thought it was all right and
the fellow went ahead, supposedly
making the test, with the result that
| the farmer was told a large number
of his head had reacted. He was old
he need not kill them if he could
find some one who would buy Them
and take them out of the state, In
a day or two an elderly man came
along wanting 10 buy COWS, and OF
course the farmer wanted to sell
these cows. They were promptly
bought at SIS per head. After they
had been taken away a little think
ing on the part of the farmer con
vinccd him that he had been the vic
tim of a swindling game.
This but emphasizes the fact that
it is not wise + trust too implicitly
in the stranger. Use Judgment and
discretion in dealing with men whom
you know nothing about. If a man
comes to your door p%urporting to be
an officer of the state he will be able
to show proof of it and it is your
right to demand that he do so before
trusting him to do such work as
testing your COWS for tuberculosis.
1t is better to do your thinking before
the damage is done than afterward.
As the old saying goes, ut does not
pay to lock the stable door after the
horse has heen s~tOlen."

CUTTING RATES
IS CHARGE MADE
AGAINST {. & D.

FavOritism to certain shippers OF grain
and Of packing-house products, on the
part Of the Chesapeake ana Ohio rail-
way, has been charged by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. In a re-
port issued today, following a hearing
at Richmond, Va, February 1921, Grim
mai prosecution is forecast
IL Is charged that the Chesapeake and
Ohio gave to favored shippers less than
the published rates from Richmond
south, and, by means of bogus trans
Ter slips, conveyed the impression that
sucn shipments were from points north
ana, therefore, eHtitled 20 the lowest
through division rates.
The commission states that this prac-
tlce has existed for several years. and
that its workings have favored ship
peFs at the expense of the Seaboard Air
Line and the Atlantic Coast Line

CURRENCY BILL
CHANGED TODAY
BY COMMITTEE

Important changes were made by the
Senate Committee on Finance in the
Aldrich currency bill at a meeting this
morning.
1t was decided to recommend TO the
Senate the adoption of an amendment
TO strike out the railroad bond feature
Of the measure. to provide that no
notes should be issued in excess Of the
par value OF bonds, and to restore the
s., 100000 limit on the amount OF ciTcu-
lation based on United States bonds
that can be retired in any cs4G month.
Following the meeting Of the cUrl-
mittee, Sena-or Aldrich, as Chairman,
made report TO the Senate lie eX-
planned the three amendments which
the committee had decided TO recon-
mend. Concerning the striking out Of
ali provisions Tor an emergency ciTCula-
ton based on railroad bonds he said
that when this part of the b'u had been
reached originally by the committee IL
Was passed over at his suggestion. He
had advised the Senate to this effect
I'm making the original report.
He said the committee believed in. The
first place. and still believed that it
vas desirable TO have as broad a basis
as possible for the proposed emergency
circulation, but issues have been raised
which had no reference TO the bill now
pending. The whole question OF the re-
latiCn between the railroads and the
public had been brought into the matter
and under the circumstances Senator
Aldrich said the committee thought IL
was best TO ask the Senate TO strike out
the railroad bond provision. He said
the action NJ the committee upon the
amendment was unanimous
In response TO a question by Senator
Nelson, Senator Aldrich said that
amendments to the bill relative to bank
reserve were yet under consideration.
The action OF the committee today
Immediately preceding the time fixed
for Senator la Toilette to speak OF
the Aldrich bill. a speech in which L
was known he would attack the rail-
road bond provision Of the measure,
was widely discussed as being taken
10 take the wind out Of the sails OF
the Wisconsin Senator
II is thought the action Of the Senate
committee today has greatly bettered
the prospects for the bill and that IT
Is likely now TO go through both houses
of Congress without very serious oppo-
sition.
In the original bill the limit for the
retirement Of circulation IN any one
month was removed. This gave rise 10
much objection

Senator la Follette's Speeen.
The Washington times., 1908-03-17

In the most powerful argument vet
7 heard IN the Senate against the AID
rich currency bill, Senator La Toilette
OF Wisconsin this afternoon assailed the
railroad bond provisions of that
measure.
Senator Ia Follette's remarks gained
additional interest from the fact that
reports were circulated yesterday thar
he would be nominated for President
by the Hearst Independence League.
and that his speech today would be
an exposition Of his campaign platform.
This Senator La Toilette and his friends
vigorously denied and his speech today
was confined to a discussion of the
dangers OF the railroad bond provisions
Of the Aldrieh bin, a setting forth OF
the close relations OF national banks

and review Of the causes Of the re-
cent panic, which he held was manu-
featured and not real.

Toilette gave a list OF 113 men with
