pREs1DENr TAFTs SUGGESTIONS.

Announcement is made that Presi-
dent Taft has practically formulated
three. bills, which will be introduced
in the forthcoming session of. Con-
gress by some friend of the admins
tration, and it is not too much to say
that each of these should receive a
friendly consideration.
One of these is to amend the inter-
state commerce law.
Another is to amend the Sherman
antitrust law.
The other is to provide for Federal
charters.
The latter measure will probably
attract more attention than anything
which has been suggested for a long
time. On the one hand there will be
the same objections which have al
ways arisen in regard to the Hamilto-
MON school, i. e., the tendency toward
too great Capitalization.
Another question which VIZ will
have to consider with especial care
is whether or not corporations doing
business under a Federal license will
be subject to a franchise tax IN the
part of the state. That is a matter OF
supreme Importance, and one which
the Individual states want clearly set.
tied before they go any further in
their Endorsement. The ability OF the
Federal government to cope with
many abuses is wei recognized, but If
it is to become the medium of still
further abuses we want to know ii
well in advance.
On the whole, President Taft's cor
poration policies have won golden
opinions. His tariff reform was 8
huke. It was the worst instance o
bad faith on the part Of a great Pc
1itica1 party we have seen for a long
time. With that exception he has
done much to command the respec
and the support of the people, and hi
means of sustaining the interests o
the people as against the corporation
will be watched with great interest.

PLACE THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The sugar trust, not content with a
which enabled it to extract
from the pockets of the people untold
millions of money. has been detected
in the use of false weights. Rather
than go to trial on the charges of us
ing false weights it paid over to the
government about 100000
It is now openly accused of a va
riety of frauds which enabled it to
pay less than full duties on ever
short-weight sugar. It diluted sam
pies SEN to the laboratory for polari-
scopic tests. 1t procured the dismis-
sal or replacement of offensive off,
Gals and it always found protection
higher up" All these charges are
ripening and they will be ready for
/ presentation to Congress when new
| corporation laws. are presented this
winter.
AS the matter stands it is importan:
to discover what official really was re-
| sponsib1e for the gigantic frauds OF
the sugar trust-who, in other words
it was who protected the men that
carried on the frauds. The frauds il
weights are not denied and the
chances are that other rascalities
went with short weights. Edward I
Anderson, once superintendent of the
trusts docks, and Richard Parr, nov
a deputy surveyor in the New Yori
customs house, stand ready to explain
the operations of the trust. Congress
should investigate the matter, bui
committees Of the A1drich-Canno1
sort should not be entrusted with thu
work.

NORFOLK WELCOMES PRESIDENT.
Taft FavOrs Waterways Project COndi'
toned Upon Business Principles.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 19.-As one of
the concluding features Of the con
vention Of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association and to accept again
the hospitality of the people of the
Old Dominion, President Taft came to
Norfolk today, reviewed a military
and naval parade, made two speeches
in which he bespoke his interest in a
practical system Of waterway i'm
provement to be carried forward on a
b-usfness1ike basis and not merely as
a means Of distributing patronage,
partook of a Lynn Haven oyster roast
under the shadows OF the towering
Cape Henry lighthouses, and attended
a smoker in honor of a large corps
of visiting newspaper men.
The President retired tonight on
board the naval on
which he made ting J01 from
Washington to Norfolk. The May.

folk harbor until tomorrow morning
when she will get under way fol
Hampton, where the President viii

TO AMEND THE SHIPPING LAWS.

The Merchants Exchange of st.
Louis has rendered some very valua-
BILE services to the shipping interests
of the country in the past, and it is
now in a fair way to do still more
The National Association of Railway
Commissioners at it's meeting in
Washington outlined a number of re-
forms which were imperatively de-
manded and delegated J. C. Lincoln,
of the Merchants Exchange to put
them into execution.
Among the amendments to present
railway laws was giving to the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
power of temporary injunction Owe
proposed increase in rates.
Another vas to give to shippers the
right of routing their own shipments.
That this is not now the case is one
of the most fragrant injustices ever
practiced upon the general public.
The shippers routing is absolutely
disregarded in most instances.
Another proposed amendment pro-
vides hat the giving of erroneous
quotations ofcrates by carriers shall
be a misdemeanor, and it is further
provided that power shall be given
to someone to award damages to
shippers as a result Of such errors.
In the spirit of liberality it is pro-
posed that the law shall be SO amend
ed that carriers may meet and confer
as to tariff rates and regulations,
without violating the law of the land.
Most important of all, perhaps, is
the matter Of creating a special court
to have exclusive jurisdiction over
questions arising from the orders OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
except in such instances where con-
stitutional questions are involved.
These are changes which will meet
with the cordial Endorsement of the
great body of the people, and we feel
sure that they cannot be adopted too
soon.

WHY ALDRICH WENT WEST.

Senator Aldrich went West in be-
half of the monetary commission ito
consult the business men and bank
ers of that section. He really went
there with something up his sleeve
and instead Of consulting the Western
business men and bankers he went
there to coddle and conjure them.
He claims to be an humble learner
but he never fails after proper self
abasement to dwell upon the advant-
ages of the great central banks OF Eu-
rope. He tells nothing that any we'll
informed business man does not al
ready know, and the question at once
arises in every mind, what is ne at
tempting to accomplish by his cod
ding trip in the Middle West? He has
no new ideas, no new information
gathered in Europe or elsewhere to
present. He distributes tafy and COM
monplaces in the West, and the West
ern mind will be no wiser when he
goes away than it was when he came.
What Aldrich is after is the real
point. He no doubt is trying to con-
ciliate the Western business man so
that he will later on be willing to &C
cept a central bank scheme. The
East is determined to have such a
bank, and it knows hat it cannot be
won in a single campaign. 1t should
however, send out an advance agent
who has not palmed off tainted goods
on the people-some one who had no
connection with a tariff that practi-
cally no business man indorses in the
Middle West.

somewhat earlier than the average,
and farm work is progressing satisfac-
torily Livestock, as a rule, has gone
through the winter In good condition,
and most of our correspondents re-
port an abundance Of feed. The pres

larry In the southwestern part of the
state, broom-sedge, troblesome
weed is spreading over meadows and
pastures, and thousands OF acres will
be plowed up this spring in order to
get rid OF this pest. On account of
the excessive drouth which prevailed
over the state during last August and
September, the wheat acreage sown
was greatly reduced; 1t is estimated
that only 1,650,OO0 acres were seeded
last fall, a decrease of more than IL
per cent below the acreage sown the
previous year. The condition OF the
crop on the first OF December last year
was 70. which was 10 points below the
tiye-year average. During the winter
there was lack Of snow-covering, and
on account of the sudden changes
from warm to, exceedingly cold wealth
er, the wheat has been greatly injured.
and perhaps considerable portion of
the land sown will be plowed UP and
planted to other crops.
