Ma. PR0UTrs DECLARATION
The Commission, He Thinks, Will Not Concern Itself With the Restriction or Expansion of Any Partic- ular Jobbing Territory

Spokane. Oct. 2.-While the attor. neys at the interstate commerce com mission hearing were wrangling over a showing of the effect the new rail- road rates would have on restricting Spokane's jobbing territory, Commits sioner Prouty made a statement as tc the attitude of the commission.
 He said: T do not think the com mission will give much weight to the effect this decision will have on alter ing jobbing territory. It does not mat ter a great deal to the people of Spo- kane whether they purchase their goods through Spokane jobbers or through jobbers from other points. but it does concern them whether they are compelled to pay more for these com modities on account of the rates charged.
 Tt appears plain that Spokane does have to pay more for the things pur- chased here on account of the freight rates charged by the railroads. It may be possible that this is justified by peculiar conditions. This is the point at issue"

MORNING. OCTOBER 1909

ing the present trip. T am on a long trip through the country he said, flor I believe it is good thing for the pres ident to take turn around and learn something of the local atmosphere, the needs and aspirations of the people in the places he visits. One of the things you find is that the particular city in which you happen to be is the fin est in all the country, and secondly, that the legislation accomplished or contemplated is good or bad, accord ingly as it affects one particular com munity, but seriously speaking, trip such as I am making. gives a man a sense of proportion as to the whole country and stands him in good stead in the legislative duties he has to per- form and the legislative action he has to recommend"
 The president referred briefly to his purpose of recommending the passage of ship subsidy law.
 Mir. Taft was escorted to the armory tonight by a detachment of the nat ional guard and a personal guard of honor composed of Grand Army veter- ans. His voice was decidedly husky as a result of a slight cold contracted at Seattle
 The president devoted his speech to a brief review of what had been done during his administration and what he going over the ground previously cov- cred in his set speeches. He referred first to the tariff and stated q few reasons for signing the Payne bill He declared that some people thought that because the bill did not accomplish all it ought to. he should have vetoed it. Such step. the president said. would have broken up the solidarity of the party and would have made it impos- sible for him to secure other legisla- tion of importance. Tn order to secure legislation" said MT. Taft. you must have a party behind you"
 Mir. Taft next took up the corpora tion tax and dwelt upon what he re- garded as its superiority over the proposition for a direct income tax At the same time the president said he hoped the states of the union would ratify the amendment to the constitu- ton that would give the government the right to levy a direct tax without having to apportion the funds collect ed among the different states.
 Free trade with the Philippines and the minimum principle of administra- ting the tariff were other accomplish ments of the administration which the president declared deserved attention. Turning to the future, President Taft called out another burst of cheering by the declaration that the Republican party had been successful last year on platform which promises the car rying out of the Roosevelt policies. And" he added, we intend to keep
 
 judge better than any one else what those policies were. I was in his cabi- net four years and had occasion time after time to go on the platform by his direction and with his sympathy, to explain what those policies were"
 Mir. Taft reviewed the plans under way for securing amendments to the interstate commerce and antitrust laws.
 Referring to MT. RoOsevelt's cam paign against monopolies and combi- nations to suppress competition. he lik- ened the former president to Peter the Hermit.
