"HearSt First AdDOCafed
7'nffS Railroad Remedies =
BY Ex-Congressman Lamar

lie man to introduce a bill into congress
that in any effective manner met railway
evils. In the spring of 1904. ard again In
December, 1906 Mr.. Hearst introduced
into the house of representatives his bin
to regulate railroads. The essential feat
ures were as follows:
1. Power to find a given rate unreason-
able or unjust and to prescribe a reason
able or just rate to be substituted.
2. Power to prescribe joint rate.
3. Power to eliminate unjust discrimina-
ton.
4. Power to stop rebates and secret cut
rates.
5. Power to regulate private cars and
private car lines.
g. Power to regulate terminals and
terminal facilities.
7. Power to regulate freight claasifica-
lions.
8. Power to compel the furnishing of
equal facilities to all.
g. For facilitating a speedy conclusion
Of proceedings in courts and limiting liti-
cation as far as the same may be done.
Some of these features of the Hearst
bill were put into the Hepburn bill q
1906. But other valuable features wesO
omitted. Among these were:
l. The power ION the part of the inter-
state commerce commission) to institute
a complaint against a railroad for any
abuse on its part without waiting for
complaint of a shipper.
2. The power ION the part of the inter-
state commerce commission) to control
the unfair raising of rates by railroads,
through their power over the classification
of freight.
1.-The railroad can now simply put an
article in a different class that hears
higher rate, and thus raise the rate itself.
"a third vital power Of the Hearst bill
OF 1904-1905, yet to be enacted into law, is
that no railroad shall charge a higher
rate than the rate in present effect until
the reasonableness of the proposed in
crease has been first determined by the
interstate commerce commission. This Is
the very citadel Of railroad power at the
present time.
president Taft assaiIs the very inner
fortress of railway abuses when he urges
that the above power be made into law.
All praise to President Taft, armed with
the power and prestige of his great office.
for taking up this great reform in railway
regulation.
But several of the very powers that
the president now recommends were in
the Hearst bill of 19O4-ISO5. And the pub
lie should give Mr.. Hearst his due need
of praise for introducing this legislation
into congress years ago, and through his
great papers educating the public into a
knowledge Of their rights and the injus-
tees practiced upon them.
1.-THE public interest and the true inter-
ests of the railroads of the country are
identical Justice and good will should
prevail between them

BOSTON, Mass.-Wn King solomon's
temple, famed in the Bible and history,
rise again?
Masons all over the world, who believe
that the author of the proverbs founded
freemasonry, are talking of the plan of
members of the order here, to raise upon
it's old foundations the temple, to take
Its place as the eighth modern wonder
of the world.
The proposition has reused so much in
terest in England that the cost for wages
of the original temple has been comput-
ed. The figures are staggering, $266, 24O,-
600!
1t has been computed that each men,
Der of the kings levy who worked on the
temple was paid about $3.50 a week. Their
weekly wage would be $4,000, and for the
three years $12, 500, OOO This labor account
alone is appalling, yet Masons here be-
lieve that the work can be done again.
Solomon raised his levy Of 100000 skilled
men and worked them in three shifts. He
also was assisted by another force of be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 men, all under g.
800 foremen, who cut stone in the quarries
and carried it down to the site of the
temple.

King Solomon, according to Masonic

of the temple through all history has

THE SUNNY SAN LUIS VALLEY

greater promise of glorious future
than does the San Luis valley in
southern Colorado.
1T is estimated that the valley
contains 100000 acres, and that
of this vast area |, 100000 acres
are tiIlable. About 100000 acres
are now under ditch, and there is
sufficient water running to waste
in the various streams of the val
ley to water another 1000, 600
acres.
Reservoirs are needed to i'm
pound this water and hold it until
it is required for the crops Cap
ital appreciates the opening for
profitable investment, and the val
ley is dotted with legitimate en-
terprises of this character.
Farming in the San Luis valley
is no longer an experiment At
the St Louis and Chicago world S
fairs the residents of the valley
placed their products in the free.
for-all classes, and carried off nu-
merous first prizes.
1T is not to be wondered al that
the fame of this section should
have attracted To the valley I'M
scrupulous men. who, having Sc
cured title to vast tracts of the
poorest land in the valley, all of it
without proper water rights, are
now endeavoring to unload their
worthless holdings on Eastern in
vestors
These men have introduced the
outlawed lottery system into the
land business, and they have
offered MS prizes Lilliputian farms
which under no circumstances can
support family.
THE News has declared war on
these swindlers, but while il is en-
gagged in the laudable enterprise
of driving them from the state. il
does not wish 10 impair anyone S
faith in the San Luis valley. The
people of the valley detest these
swindlers, and they are giving the
News loyal support in its cam
paign."
