to do this effectively. and II is fol
this reason that you will find those
corporations which wish to gain i'm.
proper advantage and to be freed
from efficient control on the part OF
the public doing all that they can to
secure the substitution of state for

Coal Lands.
"The same principle applies with
peculiar force to the coal lands, and
especially TO the coal lands in
Alaska, whose protection and owner
ship by the federal government are
so necessary both for full and free
Industrial development in the west
and for the needs of our feet in the
Pacific.
THE coal mines should be leased
not sold, and those who mine the
coal should pay back a part of the
profit to the people. 1t is the right
and duty of the people to demand
the most vigilant trusteeship on that
part of that branch of the federal
government In charge of the fuel re-
sources of the United States.
IF there is one thing which is
more unwise than another it is the
creation by legislative. by executive
or by judicial action of a nuetral
ground in which neither the state
nor the nation has power and which
can serve as place of refuge for
the lawless man, and especially for
the lawless man of great wealth.

ing place equally distant from the
uncertain frontiers of both state and
national power"

RAILROAD COMMISSION FINDS
COMMUNITY OF INTEREST
TOO STRONG.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 2s.-Sweep-
ing reductions In express rates with
in the state of Illinois we're made
here this afternoon by the Illinois
railroad and warehouse commission.
Existing tariffs were slashed in two
in many instances and on small
packages the reduction is in excess
of so per cent.
Discussing the community of in
terests, the commission says:
'As a proof. of the community of
interests existing among express
companies, the records show that the
Adams owns 800, 900 par value in
the American, s650,000 in the
Southern and 100000 in the
United States: that the American
owns the National entirely and
81 900 900 in the United States;
that the Southern owns s111,SOO in
the Adams, s11S,500 in the Ameri-
can and $4,000 in the United
States. and that the United States
owns $4,000 in the Wells-Fargo.
Il. II. Hartman, who dominated
the Union Pacific Railway company,
owner OF 40 per cent of the Pacific
Express stock, was at the time of
his death chairman of the board of
directors of the Wells-Fargo COM
pany, probably the most influential
of all the express companies.

WILL CONSULT ARCHITECTS.

Steps toward active work In
building a new church on the pres
ent site at Tenth and Ohio streets
were taken yesterday afternoon BY
the official board of the Tenth
Street Christian church. II was
agreed to consult several architects
and have plans prepared for a new
building that will seat about ESQ
people at a total cost OF $4,000.
including the purchase Of additional
ground. The present building is in
adequate on account OF the rapidly
growing membership, and will seat
less than 800 people. The lot on the
northeast corner of Tenth and
Ohio streets fronts 41.6 feet and the
adjoining lot of the same width
probably will be purchased. No
specific plans have ever been con-
sidered.
Over $4,000 can be raised among
the membership of 200 and tho
board expects over 100 subscriptions
at 800 each to be paid within 30
months. Then an additional amount
will be secured.
Under the leadership of the Rev.
G. ID. Wyatt. the present pastor. the
church has grown remarkably. but
for several years the congregation
has been contemplating building a
modern church with large seating
capacity The present building Is a
frame and the new one probably will
be OF brick. The construction will
not be begun until the spring Of

all school buildings must conform.
These bridges are TO be of rein
forced concrete. They must be
started in 80 days and be completed
by January 1.
The most important as far as Pa
ducah is concerned is that one over
the lake. An iron bridge was lost
about two years ago and since then
farmers for many miles back of the
lakes have been unable to reach the
ferry even at a moderate stage of
the river This bridge will be the
only one over the slough from New
Liberty to Brookport. and will give
access to the Paducah ferry at all
stages of the river.
