Washington, Dec. According tt
information received from Trustworthy
sources, future developments In the
copper merger plan will be governed
to large extent by the result Of con
ferences which are to be held next
week in Washington between repre-.
sentatives of some of the leading
companies involved and the federal
authorities. It is understood that ar
|rangements have been made by which
some Of the copper men will meet
President Taft next week in Washing
ton, when, it is expected, full dis
cussion Of the scope OF the proposed
merger or agreement will take place.
It is understood that the interests
working toward an agreement or mer-
ger OF several of the leading copper
producing concerns have no desire to
circumvent the law, and are perfect
ly willing that the federal authori-
ties should be fully informed upon
their plans before an attempt Is made
to carry them into execution. There
is reason to believe that at the forth
coming conferences, the officials at
will be apprised of the
exact method by which 1t is proposed
to bring about an improvement in the
copper trade, and If in any way the
plan should meet with objection from
the federal authorities or, in their
opinion, prove to be in violation of
the law, It will be SO modified as to
meet with the approval of the de-
partment of justice. Meanwhile it |
may be stated that the general pro- |
position has not been abandoned, and |
mother conference between the lead
ng interests to the plan was held to- |
lay.
According to statements made by I
hose, who should be informed on
he situation. there is every reason
0 believe that the proposed plan will I
lot be such as to fall under the ban
( the law, neither will it be one
rhich could be construed as monopo-
Istic. AT no time has it been pro-
osed to amalgamate all the copper
reducing concerns, and the compan-
$ which it is planned to bring into
be combination, while embracing
cry substantial part of the producing
apacity Of the country, by no means
rould prove an entirely controlling
actor in the trade.
It is also asserted that the scope
( the measure in view is such as ]
7ould benefit consumers in the long
un quite as much as the producers,
n that 1t would result ii, the main
enance of greater stability in the
rice Of the metal and do away with
he extreme fluctuations which have
cen the rule during the last few
ears That these wild vacillations are
menace to copper consumers, as
vell as producers is generally conced-
d by trade interests, who declare
hat all would be better served by
be establishment Of a comparatively
table market for copper metal con-
racts with some reasonable assur-
nee of being able to fulfill them with {
ut having their calculations upset by J
udden changes in the price Of The 1
ed metal. Il

Wise Beyond Her Age.

Rene La Montague, the crack polo

miss, the five-year-old daughter of a

Mr.. La Montague was driving a

he encountered the little miss, who
was out for walk with her nurse
and small baby brother, who occu-
pied the perambulator. Being an in
innate friend Of the child's parents, he
offered to give her lift as far as her
house. The offer, was accepted and on
the way Mr.. La Mon ague was RECALLED
with interesting items of family news
which were lisped out in rapid sue
cession until he pulled up in front of
the house. = e..
The child alighted, and as there was
nobody in sight on the grounds, he
asked her If she could get indoors
safely.
"Oh, yes" said the little tot, land
thank you very much"
Don't mention it," nodded back the
polo player; when to his surprise the
child opened her eyes very much and
murmured:

WASHINGTON, d. c., May Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent to IL , warm wave
6 to 10, cool wave 8 to 10. This dis
turbance was expected to cause great
rise in temperatures and to inaugurate
two weeks period of storms of greater
than usual force. The cool wave is ex-
pected to inaugurate the blackberry
winter and carry frosts further south
than is usual for the season. g..
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about II, cross Pacific slope by
close OF IL; great central valleys ID to Is
eastern states IL. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about II, great CEN
trail valleys ID, eastern states Is. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about H..
great central valleys Is, eastern states
49, -
This disturbance will be notable be-
cause nf its unusually cool weather.
The seven days centering on May IS
are expected to average cooler than any
other: seven days of the week. A great
fall in temperature is expected from
May 10 to IL and during that fall the
heaviest rains of the month are expect
ed. But not much rain is expected
from the lakes westward, nor in the
Ohio valley. Most rain of May is ex-
pected from the lakes eastward, in
Florida, in southwestern Texas and
within 100 miles of St. Joseph, Missouri.
l am Of the opinion that we are to
have rather poor crop weather during
May as general average, and that, if
the weather has any control, prices of
farm and garden products will be firm
throughout the month.
Fourth disturbance of May will reach
Pacific coast about Is, cross Pacific
slope by close of II; great central valleys
Is to 20, eastern states 81. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about 16, great
central valleys ID, eastern states 20.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope about
10, great central valleys 81, eastern
states 23. This disturbance will bring
recovery from the unusual cool
period and will bring the most severe
storms of the month. While the chances

FRIDAY, MAY z, 1909
TAFT Is AGAINST THE PEOPLE

Readers of the papers will be particiI7
iarly Interested in the following dis
patch which appeared in the Washing
ton matter sent out this week It snyys:
frequent utterances by President
Taft expressive of the hope that con-
gress will hasten the passage.of the
tariff bill in order that business may be
restored to it's normal condition at the
earliest possible day, may postpone the
real test of strength over the income
lax proposition. n Many of the con
gressmen believe with President Taft
that the income tax amendment should
not be adopted unless it can be shown
it is needed to produce revenues. n p
Few Of the most ardent supporters of
the income tax proposition are willing
10 delay the adjournment of congress
in the face of the attitude assumed by
the president and the protests that are
pouring in upon congress from com
mercial centers against prolonged
discussion of the tariff
The significance of this dispatch is
above question. 1t disclOses that Presi-
dent Taft is one Of those who are dis
':ouraging and putting the friends of
the income fax to rout. 1t shows him
further in the light of one who is Join
fng with the Commercial centers' to
prevent any genuine and honest effort
TO "revise the tariff honstly" and
mainly downward" e..
The Aldrich- Payne bill represents dis
honest tariff revision and mainly up
ward ....
This is the difference between Re-
publican promise and Republican per-
fornance. 1t is also the difference be-
tween Taft promise and Taft perform
Hnce.
1t is not surprising that "the com
iherclal centers' are demanding of; con
Sress to hurry up and pass the Payne,
Aldrich bill. Not surprising that is, if
we interpret commercial centers" as
meaning the protected interests. These
interests are more than satisfied with
the bill. They ought to be. 1t gives
them more even than the Dingley law
gives-and every penny of it out of the
peoples pockets. And they know that
If the bill is passed in II hurry it must
necessarily be passed practically in its
present form.
But that Taft should Join them in
arglng congress to act in hurry will
surprise II good many people; people
who have believed in him. trusted him,
looked on him as the friend of the toll
ing masses. They cannot but see now
that ne is urging congress to make
haste and break the Republican pledge,
betray tho peoples interests.
The Republican party is riding to a
fail, as surely as common sense and
Justice still have Il home ON the Ameri
can continent. 1t will no more than
have passed the Payne-Aldrich outrage
than the storm will break. The enact
p7ent Of such Il law ~ this. instead of
restoring business To it's normal condi-
tion," will raise such storm of protest
and righteous anger, and bring on such
y deafcning demand for real tariff re.
form. that business again will lie
alarmed and alarmed this time with
good reason. And tho people will hold
the Republican party including Presi
dent Taft himself, toa strict account
