what the enabling act drafted by the
governor will undoubtedly do.
The change in method from that out
lined in the Flint or Foraker bills is
slight. The main point is that the en-
abling act of the governor gives the
president of the United states power
TO deny statehood unless the constitu
tons meets with his approval. Under
the Flint and Foraker bills, if the con
stitution should be republican in
form and not r%epugnant to the consti-
tuition of the United States the pres
ident would be required to sign it, even
though 1t were as undesirable as that
of Oklahoma.
Governor Kibbey is cognizant of all
the ms and outs of the statehood sit
uation and in his opinion the enabling
act which he has drafted viii bring ~
statehood more quickly than the bills
introduced, and as we are all OF one
mind on desiring statehood, it be-
hooves the leaders to get together be-
hind this plan and bring about an
early realization of our desires.

GETS TERRITORY
Great Britain Secures New Conces
sion Of Land in Siam.

Washington, July 15.-Great Bri-
tain secures about fifteen thousand
square miles of territory in reurn for
which she makes some very import
ant concessions to Siam by the terms
of the British-Siamese treaty, which
was negotiated March 10 and has just
been ratified. Great BRIAN gives to
Siam partial rrelease from extra ter
gives to her as 'quid pro quo" GER
tain guarantees OF improved courts
for British subjects and right to
property and travel.
Co-incident with the ratification OF
the treaty Siam agrees to build that
portion OF q railway to connect
Singapore and Bangkok which shall
lie within Siamese territory. on con-
dition that England shall allow Siam
a free hand in the so-called sphere
of British influence. shall make to
her a loan to be used in the con-
struction of the railroad and shall
pay to Siam the amount which the
provinces taken over by Great Britain
owe to her. The loan to Siam by the
federal Malay states amounts to four
million pounds at four per cent to he
repaid in forty years. The railroad
to be constructed is to form a
through connection from Singapore
on the south to kankek the north.
BY article l of the treaty Siam
transfers to Great Britain in all
rights to suzerainty, protection, ad-
ministration, and control whatsoever
1t possesses over the states of
Kelantan. Tringganu, Kedan, Perlis
and adjacent islands The provision
is made whereby Siamese subjects
residing in the stated territory who
desire to preserve their nationality
may do SO under certain conditions.
A protocol to the treaty covers the
question of jurisdiction applicable to
Siam to British subjects, which gov
erns until complete extra-territori-
ality is surrendered.

B0MBMAKER IS
NOT AMEN|ABLE
Only Requirement of Illinois
Statute Is That Purpose
Shall Be Lawful

Chicago, July 15.-John Benedict,
bombmaker, was escorted to the office
of Capt. P. D. O'Brien of the detective
bureau today, questioned and released
and thereupon was revealed the fact
(Which surprised many city hall OF.
ficials) that under the statutes of
Illinois man may make dynamite
bombs at any place within the state
and sell them without danger of pros
ecution, provided they are to be used
for a lawful purpose. Benedict is a
resident OF Summit, Ill.
He was questioned as to his knowl-
edge of recent explosions in Chicago
and admitted at once that he had
made dynamite bomb about two
months ago for stranger whose
name he did not learn.
Believes It Was Used Lawfully.
He said that he believed it was not
to have been used unlawfully AL
though he admitted the man did not
give "a good account OF himself" :"
Many of the police were surprised
when he was released and still more
surprised when the existence of tho
statute mentioned in the foregoing
paragraph was discovered.
He gave good description of the
purchaser Of the explosive, and the
police at once began a search for the
buye:.
Capt. O'Brien said that tho bomb.
maker had promised to come to tho
police any time he was wanted. He
declared the man had also said that
the explosive which he had made for
his customer was what he called a
"phony"-that is, it was not incased
In :; stee! hull.
The manufacture of the explosive is
not contrary to law when it is shown
as necessity. In all cases the in
tent for which it is made must be
shown.
The revised statutes OF Illinois have
thu following:
BE it enacted by the people of the
state of Illinois, represented in gene
raj assembly, that any person. firm,
company or corporation who shall
make, manufacture, compound, buy or
sell or otherwise procure or dispose
Of, or bring within tho limits OF this
state, any dynamite Oh any nitrochlo-
rate or other explosive compound
with the intent to use the same illeg-
ally, or that the same may be used
for unlawful injury to or the unlawful
destruction of life or property in any
place whatsoever, shall be deemed
guilty Of felony, and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by impris-
Onment for term of not less than
five years nor more than twenty-five
years."
Benedict convinced Capt. o'Brien

THE OPPONENTS
ON THE GRILL
President Wanted to Know
Why Income Tax Should
Be Dropped

Washington, July 15-Reports that
there was dissatisfaction in the tariff
conference with the corporation tax
amendment and that it might be drop
ped out of the bill, reached the ears
OF President Taft. In consequence OF
these rumors enator Aldrich and Rep
resentative Payne, the leaders of the
senate and house in matters connect
ed with tariff legislation, were called
to the white house.
The conference was held late last
evening. When Mesrs. Aldrich and
Payne left for their homes they would
not discuss what had transpired be-
yond admitting that the proposition
to tax net earnings of corporations
had been the chief subject of consid-
GRAFTON. The president could not be
seen and therefore it was impossible
to procure from him any of the de-
tails of the conference.
The president undoubtedly made it
clear that he has not changed his mind
about the advisability of taxing the
earnings of corporations for the pur-
pose of producing additional revenues.
He is reported to have said as much
to number of congressional callers
today and to have interrogated num-
ber Of leaders as to the foundation
for the report that this feature might
be dropped out of the bill.
The tariff conferences were inform
ed today that Attorney General Wick
ersham, who has redrafted the cor
poration tax amendment since it was
amended and adopted by the senate,
is ready to submit the amendment
whenever the conferees are ready for
it. Probably it will be called for
within the next day or so, instead of
being put over until after amendments
to schedules have been settled.
Until the corporation tax amend
ment is taken up there can be no dis
position of the inheritance tax feature,
which was placed in the tariff bill by
the house and eliminated by the SEN
ate. In the entirely informal discus
sion that has been had in conference
over the proposed new forms of fed
eral taxation it was developed that
there is no likelihood of the inheritance
tax feature being restored to the bill
The senate conferees are against it
and the house members do not OBJ
ject to its elimination If the president
Is agreeable.
That the opposition to the corpora
ton tax feature is so serious as to
imperil its adoption was indicated by
a chance remark of Representative
Mccall of Massachusetts one of the
conferees. He said that If the corpora
ton tax amendment is accepted it will
mean that President Taft is pushing
1t with his entire weight.

should be allowed to continue service
under the future Persian government
and that their safety should be guar
anteed, II they laid down their arms.
Siphadar and Sardarasad replied that
the officers and the Cossacks were
free to return to their homes as soon
as they surrendered their arms; that
their safety would be guaranteed as
far as possible and that as the con-
stitutional government required train
ed troops the Cossacks would be taken
into service and would receive the
usual pay.
The action of Gen. Liakhoff fol-
lowed long day of fighting, during

Believes Service Should Be
Rewarded and Honored in
Proper Degree
IMHER|IOR WHORENDERs NO
SERVICE SHOULD Be TAXED
Fortunes Of Multi.Millionaires Not
Healthy Civic Deyelopment-The
P0ssessors Are Among the Most
Dangerous Criminal Classes.

New York. July 15.-The Outlook
which was issued today, has an arti-
Gle by Theodore Roosevelt entitled.
"Give Me Neither Poverty or Riches
1t says in part:
"It is to be wished that some of
those who preach and practice the
gospel Of mere materialism and greed
and who speak as if the heaping of
wealth by community or by an in
dividual was in itself the all and all
of life, would learn from the most
widely read and oldest of books that
true wisdom which teaches that it is
we'll to have neither great poverty nor
great riches.
THE movement which has become
30 strong during the past few years
to secure on behalf of the nation both
an adequate supervision over and an
effective taxation of vast fortunes, SO
Tar as their business use is concerned
Is healty one. 1t aims to replace
the sullen discomfort, restless pes
simism and evil preparation for revo-
luton by an aggressive, healthy de-
termination to get to the bottom OF
our troubles and remedy them.
"The multi-millionair is not per sc
healthy development in this coun-
try. If his fortune rests on a basis
of wronsdoing, he is far more dan
gerous criminal than any of the ordin-
ary types of criminals can possibly
be. If his fortune is the result of q
great service rendered, we'll and good
He deserves respect and reward fol-
such service. Although we must re-
member to pay our homage to the
service itself and not to the fortune
which is the mere reward of the sel'v-
ice. But when his fortune is passed
on to some one else who has not
rendered a service, then the nation
should impose heavily graded pro
gressive inheritance tax. 1t would be
a particularly good thing If the tax
bore the heaviest on the absentees.

Washington. July 15.-"As soon as
the tariff is out of the way" said
James j. Hill, the railroad magnate,
who yesterday was one of President
Taft's callers, this country will en-
joy prosperity which will at least
equal if it does not surpass what it
knew under the Mckinley administra-
ton. Last month l travelled extern
sively through the west and | never
saw such activity among the farm
ers. Everywhere l made inguiriea
and learned and saw that the crops
were abundant and the farmers were
satisfied. The signs of the financial
depression of 1907 are fast fading
The freight cars will be at a premium
within few weeks. We, of the rail-
road world, Judge the prosperity OF
the nation as much by the number OF
idle cars as anything else. Through
out the past year there have been
thousands idle, but they will soon be
rolling about the country filled with

London, July 15.-A wireless mes
sage received at Portsmouth states
that the submarine torpedo boat G. II
was in collision late last night with
an unknown steamship near Love-
steft and was sunk with it's crew of
sixteen men. Another submarine boat,
c. II. was also damaged in the COL
lision but the crew was saved. 1t is
understood that the crew of the c.
II had no chance to escape; that they
were locked inside the submarine and
went to the bottom with it. No COM
plete report of the accident has been
received, but the latest advices from
Sheerness, from whence assistance
was sent, indicates that some men,
bers of the crew of G. II might have
been saved.
