Smoot furnished did not touch upon
the cost of production in any way,
nor even mention it.
When Senator Jones of Washing
ton, asked you to submit proof of
your statements you said (page .527
congressional record): when that
committee amendment is before the
senate, the committee will state all
the facts pertaining to the duty pro-
posed" Did you redeem that pledge?
Did you let in daylight upon two af
fidavits relating to Canadian costs
submitted by paper makers which
will show discreditable methods and
the worthlessness of their testimony
and the attempted bribery of mill
employees? Did you state all the
facts?
At the outset of this inquiry you
promised the representatives of the
American Newspaper Publishers as
ISOLATION that you would carefully
investigate the matter, and in your
speech on Friday last you said that
you had given 10 weeks study to
the matter. Nevertheless, so far
from doing so, when | presented to
you the evidence relating to 1SS
mill reports. you brushed them aside,
and refused to look at them and ev-
cry line of your speech indicates that
whatever investigation you have
made in this matter has been to
small purpose.
The paper makers were in almost
continuous touch with the finance
committee for 10 weeks but the rep
resentative of the consumers could
not get hearing from that full COM
mittee until after eight weeks of APP
plication and continuous waiting in
Washington. He finally obtained a
hearing on June 9 after he had print
ed and issued public complaint
against the discrimination of the fl
nance committee. He was allowed

GREW SUSPICIOUS
Fear That Support Was About to Be
Withdrawn.

New York, Sept. 22.-Various os-
tensible reasons were advanced for
the weakness of the stock market

suspicion that the leaders in the pro-
longed advance in prices were selling
or had sold their holdings. The sup
port accorded the market was not of

acter that has been manifest at any
period of pressure for a long time

United States Judge Interested in ir-
rigation Projects.

Seattle. Wash, Sept 22.-United
States Judge Cornelius Hanford. who
is largely interested in eastern Wash
ington irrigation projects, addressed
meeting in the exposition audi
torium today. He denounced the
conservation policy advocated by Pin
chot and Pardee.
we have been told repeatedly"
said he, by advocates of the big
stick policy that the course proposed
by the new system will not hurt the
west. but will aid in the development
of the natural resources of the region
in which vast areas are reserved
and to be reserved. These povisions
of kindly intentions bring to mind a
ago in which. according to the testi-
mony. a murderer consoled his victim
by beseeching him not to mind hav-
ing his throat cut, because the pain
would soon be over and he would be
in heaven.
In our state the reservations COM
prise more than 81 per cent of its
total area, into which no homeseeker
dares to set his foot. The water runs
down our mountains and most of 1t
flows idly to the sea without turning
a wheel, but to prevent grabbers
from acquiring vested rights the the
orists insist that it must be kept on
flowing idly until it can be made to
yield tribute to the national treasury
perpetually as the agents of the gov
ernment shall dictate"

Vexed Questions Adjust
ed, but Doesn't Think It
Will Be Done Before the
Millennium Sets In

Salt Lake City. Sept. 22.-The hear
ing before the interstate commerce COM
mission. Of the petition and complaint
of the Salt Lake Commercial Club
traffic bureau against various rail-
roads centering in this city, charging
them with maintaining arbitrary,
oppressive and exceptional transpor-
tation rates both in to and out of this
territory and unjustly discriminating
against the shippers and jobbers of the
inter-mountain region, began today
OF interstate commerce commission
were present Commissioners Charles
W. Prouty and E. E. Clark. Among
the railroads represented by counsel
and high officials are the Hartman
lines. the Denver and Rio Grande, the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy; the
Chicago & Northwestern; the Chicago.
Rock Island & Pacific and the Mis-
souri, Pacific. The Merchants Ex-
change Of San Francisco was also re-
presented by counsel.
Considerable interest attaches to the
hearing for the reason that much of
the testimony will be used largely in
the decision of all freight rate cases
originating in the west. Water com
petition and the long and short haul
questions will be the main factors in
the hearing.
The principal witness at todays ses-
sion was ]. A. Munroe, general traffic
manager of the Union Pacific railroad
at Omaha. Water competition said
Mr.. Munroe, governed the matter of
rates TO great extent, and water COM
petition cannot be viewed as only in
existence at points where the water
runs, but has its effect on inland
points. Mr. Munroe also thought mill
cage was not a proper basis on which
to figure rates but the topography of
the country, the cost of maintaneance
and water competition should be taken
into consideration.
He said that it would be highly de-
sirable if the different rates maintain
ed on what is known as classes and
commodities could be abolished. and
only one general rate established
which would be fair and equitable for
all concerned. 1T would be a happy
said, IF all those
burdensome matters of difference in
rates could be done away with by or
der of the commission. but nothing
short of a millennium can bring such
a condition about and l doubt if even
that could do SO"
