tar reaching from ocean to ocean and
back by another route to Washington,
and he will be expected to explain
what he has accomplished in the first
six months of his presidential term.
it is stated that his speeches will deal
with these subjects:
The new tariff and it's effects.
Conservation, and how this admin
istration will achieve it.
Corporations, and the Taft plan for
controlling them
zona.
"The possibilities of the South in
politics. The value of Southern SEN
timent because of saneness and tra-
ditions.
."The army and navy and coast de-
administration.
"He willneeessarily have to deal
more largely in promises than in a
| list of achievements, for he has con-
| trolled no trusts, and the tariff he
signed is victory in general for spe-
cial interests It is said he will hold
out great possibilities to flow from
the new tariff board, but the country
knows full well that 1drich, Hale &
Co. make tariffs, not tariff boards
| There is trouble brewing for Mr..
Taft in the Middle West, for the Kan
sas City Star, a Republican paper,
/ says:
/ "The President may have other
things to say, but in the great West
the people will not care especially for
his discussion of other matters; they
will want to hear about the tariff.
They will want to hear from the Pres
ident himself what he thinks of the
kind of revision that was made, con-
trary to the Chicago platform, con-
trary to the expressed hopes and pur-
poses of the President. They will
want to hear from him what his plans
for further revision are.
"These Western people, these West
ern Republicans, have made up theil
minds about something. They have
made up their minds that they are
not going to be ruled by New Eng
land and for New England. They are
determined that the Republican par
tvs legislative policies shall not con
tinue to be dictated by an emissar,
of the special interests hailing from
the smallest and least productive
state in the Union. They are in thi'
, fight to make war, not to make ;
noise"
It is plain, therefore, that the in
surgents in the Middle West canno
be pacifed by meaningless promises
and the President will perhaps ascer
tain the situation before he butts int
it. No doubt he will make much o
the corporation tax and the provision
p for a permanent tariff commission
l-but neither is an offset for the oner
GUS taxes that privilege has put upol
D the ultimate consumer in the Payn
( bill.

Al satisfy the deep discomfort that exist

f bilities of revision n the future; bu

Regarding The Franchise.

Editor Record I'm readi ng over the
proposed franchise to the Chippewa
River Power Co.. which was published
In last weeks Record. and which is
to be voted on August 10th. prox.. it
would appear that the city is giving
away something for nothing. besides
taking risks. The Power Co. proposes
to deliver electric current for use In
Alma on or before three years from
date, but no penalty Is provided for its
failure to do so except forfeiture of
franchise. 1t would appear to be
more business like to require bond of
the Power Co. 10 make good in the
time specified, for while on the face
of it the franchise does not exclude
others from asking like privileges.
that is the effect for neither the de-
mands of utility nor beauty require
any more poles and wires on our
streets. and no company with actual
service to offer would care to com pete
for a bite of the cherry where one
company is in active operation and
here to stay and another has the pro-
posed franchise.
The only hint of indemnity of any
kind is in the event of damage arising
from Neglect by the Power Co. but
if this company ever should begin con-
struction work. liabilities might arise
from causes other than neglect. but
directly due TO construction; and hence
should be very broad instead of SO
strictly limited.
The proposed power and the service
therefrom is at present merely a pro-
motors dream, but bundle of fran.
chises in hand is a tangible asset, not
to the cities which granted them but
to the man who has them to sell.
Question-Would il not be better to
say to the courteous promo tors who are
trying to gather a lot of franchises for
the asking. to either pay an equitable
price or wait for the Alma franchise
until they have something TO deliver
more material than promoters prom
ises. rain bow benefits and figures of
speech. We can give awav a fran
chise at any time. Taxpayer.
