FOLK OF MISSOURI MAKES
ATTACK ON TARIFF BILL
Reform Governor Insists Duties Must
Be Abolished Altogether, Even
for Revenue

Ell PASO, Tex, Sept. 21-Joseph w.
Folk, former governor Of Missouri, as
sailed the new tariff bill in an address
here today.
There is no principle involved in
the talk that the tariff is too high on
one thing and too low on another" he
said. 'The whole system must be
assailed. The Democratic party must
come out. not for revision, but for the
abolishment of the tariff altogether,
even for revenue, II revenues can be
raised in any other way.
President Taft only added fuel to
the fire in his Winona speech. Senti-
ment is growing against the tariff and
it will be the issue in the next election,
with the Republican party split wide
open over it. I believe Roosevelt will
be the next candidate, because the
people want him more than they do

SAN JOSE, Sept. 21.-An appellate
court decision was received here today
sustaining Superior Judge Gosbey in
his refusal to hear the petition of the
Monterey Coal company for change
of venue in the suit of Alonzo Fellers
and other stockholders against that
organization until the company had
obeyed an order of the court to produce
its books and so purge itself of con-

The higher court sustains Judge
Gosbey's position and denies the ap-
plication of the defendant company for
a writ to compel Judge Gosbey to hear

Webster City, April pa dozen or
so Webster City and Hamilton county
people stand a good show to become
rich all because Chris Swanson, a for
mer resident here started digging some
post holes the other day for new line
Of fence on farm in Wisconsin which
he is clearing of timber to farm. When
down three feet he struck iron ore.
He went nine feet further, all the way
thru ore which has assayed 50 per cent
pure. The whole community has become
excited and everyone for miles is pros
pecting.
Swanson's farm lies in Douglas
county about four miles northeast of
Hawthorne. In that county several
thousand acres are owned by Hamil-
ton county people and the most of it
lies within radius of ten miles from
Swanson. Not enough prospecting has
yet been done on Swansons place to
make certain if it is all underlaid, but
indications seem to point to a condi-
ton of the kind. Land owners in
Douglas county have held for some
time that iron ore underlaid practic-
ally all the county. Biologists have dis
couraged the belief, however, but
Swanson's discovery will result in the
prospecting of the whole county.

home and it is thought that she has
thrown herself in the Skunk river off

the river is swollen bank full, there is
no possible chance for her. The river
was dragged near that point but to no

sold the stock, and reaped immense
profits, all the while without any stock
holder having to pay one cent of cash
for his holdings.
From bonded value of $4,000 the
plant increased to 100000 by these
characteristic company methods, the
monopoly from time to time, to ease
the public demand, giving a slight re-
duction in the price to the consumer.
Members of the committee were not
slow to draw the parallel, inasmuch as
the Washington company has cetifl-
Gates outstanding to the amount of
100000.
Figures Of Company.
Mr.. Good, reading from a February,
1908, report of the Washington Cas-
costing the company about $500 per
ton. He estimated that the. company
should receive a return of $2.S5 from
the sale of coke and coal tar, altho the
sale of these valuable by-products are
not featured in the company's repre-
sensations to the public.
The great difficulty in adjusting gas
rates." continued Mr.. Good, sis that
comparatively few people are qualified
to speak with authority on the ques-
ton of cost and plant valuation, and
these few are interested in holding up
the price. Gas engineers all swear by
certain rules"
He recalled an instance in his ex-
perience where an engineer had testi
fled that the depreciation in a gas
field was about 3 per cent, indicating
that its life was thirty three years. Yet
this same witness, the speaker said
testified that certain holder was
worth 5000, whereas it had cost but
$500 originally and had been in use
thirty-tive years.
Facts Are Hidden.
IT use this as an Illustration to show
how unfair gas engineers are in testi-
flying to facts" said Mr.. Good. ut is
almost impossible to get facts from a
gas company.
He gave several other instances
illustrative of the gas engineers ten
dency to give contradictory testimony
regarding depreciation in value and ac-
tual physical value. The repairs and
depreciation accounts of a gas COM
pany, he declared, were two things
concerning which it was impossible for
the public to obtain authentic nfor-
nation, because the companies had a
plan of charging to these accounts
even new extensions and then never
making a record of just where the re
pairs were made. After the wagon
unloaded the pipe, he said, the tran
saction was entirely forgotten. and
| there was no book record to show
where repair had been necessary.
Representative Good. in reply to a
question, said he did not fully approve
of the sliding scale, as in vogue in
| Massac husetts. because it was likely to
be unfair to the consumer The latter,
he contended was entitled to have
gas just as cheap as it could be made
and yet yield a fair return to the
| stockholder
Consumer Bears Burden.
Should the gas company be allowed
to make 100000 extensions and then
capitalize the amount?" asked Mr.. Raj
ston. Where should the money come
| from?"
1T should come from either stock or
bonds-It do not know which," replied
Mr.. Good. ut should not come from the
consumer, and this is where it has come
from heretofore-and the stockholder
gets it.

representative said he thought an
