The Truth viii Win.

It may be inappropriate for me
to invite your attention, and that of
all those engaged in advocating the
Republican cause In the coming cleo
tion, to the fact that 1t Is of the ut
most importance to make this cam
paign of education as to facts and
to clear away the clouds of misrepre-
sentation that have obscured the
real Issues and have made it diff
cult to secure for the Republican ma
jor1ties in congress the real credit
due them from the country for the
tremendous task they have accom-
plished. II this Is brought clearly
home to all voters, and especially to
the young men now voting for the
first time. and they become i'm
pressed. as they ought to be by this
record, with the difference in the gov
ernmental efficiency and capacity of
the Republican and Democratic
parties. they will enroll themselves
with the party Of construction and
progress rather than with the party
OF obstruction and negation. and the
resulting legislation Of the Sixty-sec-
ond congress will vindicate their
choice.-President William H. Taft.

ra,t,s Excellent Commission.

The great care taken by Mr.. Taft
in choosing the members of the stock
and bond commission which is to In
vestigate the question of placing the
issue of railroad securities under the
supervision of the interstate COM
merce commission is shown In the
character of the men finally named.
AS experts they are all exceptionally
qualified for the work assigned to
them.
By wholly dlsregarding political
considerations and all other ends ex-
cept an impartial inquiry. Mr.. Taft
should succeed in disarming much Of
the hostility that has been evinced in
interested quarters to an investiga-
ton of this nature. He has given as
surance that the matter is to be
treated by methods as nearly scien-
tific as such subject can be treated.

until all the books were sold. A
clerk seated beside the auctioneer
wrote down the name of the book and
the name of the purchaser as the
sales were made. After the auction
closed the parcels were all placed in
the middle of the room and chair
for the purchaser who paid for her

each one undid the package and held
up the contents SO that all could see

WILL NOT FOOL THE FARMER
Democratic Advice vainiy Offered to
Those Who Remember Years
Of '93 to '97.

Production hasn't kept pace with
the increase in population" There's
Deen shortage in the CROP" PRO
lection has no relation to prices which
the farmer receives for his crops" are
some OF the explanations offered by
Our Democratic friends to the Amer
lean farmer to induce him to abandon
protection and embrace free trade. In
this connection some figures issued by
the government are exceedingly inter-
esting
The preliminary rough estimate of
$4,000 900 for the whole country's pop
ulation in 1910. compared with the
75,693,734 of the 1900 census shows
the ratio OF increase to be 10 per cent.
The average annual wheat yield
from 1900 to 1909 inclusive was $780,
100000 bushels, whereas the annual
average from 1890 to 1899 inclusive
was 503,0OO.OOO. This was an In
crease of 80 per cent.
The average annual cotton yield
from 1900 to 1909 inclusive was H.
100000 bales: the average from 1890
to 1899 inclusive. S.700.O0O-an in
crease of 33 per cent
in view of the fact that production
has kept up so good a relative pace
to population. why the better prices
which the American farmer and cot
ton. planter have been getting for
their wheat and cotton. as compared
with the prices they received from
1890 to 1899? Why diminished exports
and why the talk of scarcity? Tho
New York Evening Post gives an an
swer to the question:
In the very prosperous decade Just
behind u.s." says the Post. the aver
ase individual consumed more grain
and bought more clothing than in tho
not so prosperous decade of the later
nineties."
The very prosperous decade just
behind us" was protective period;
the ten years before that felt the
blight of the Democratic Wilson tar
in law Under protection the aver
age individual consumed more grain
and bought more clothing because he
was employed; because Republican
legislation had made possible profit

buy abroad instead Of at home. turn
American workmen into the street; In
short, go back to Democratic free
trade and the demand for what the
American farmer and cotton planter
have to sell will be SO curtailed as to
bring upon them again the previous
torment inflicted by the last years OF
Democratic rule in the United States.
This would be to follow the advice Of
the latest Democratic campaign docu-
ment, which cites the example of Eng
lands sixty years free trade expe-
rience and tells US to remove the OBJ
struction (protection), allowing prices
to sink to their natural level" Nc
farmer who lived through the awful
years of '93 to 81 will heed such ad
vice as that.

The administrators case is pre-

achievements-actual achievements
in the direction Of progress. Whether
the country in this period OF unrest

appraise these achievements remains
to be seen. Probably not. But they
are Of record, cannot be blotted out,

American farmers have prospered
more through the protective policy
than any other class. It Is to the
protective policy that they owe the

COURT DECISION AFFECTING
MANY MINING COMPANIES
Supreme Court Finds Stockhold-
ers in Foreign Corporations
Not Exempt from Liability

Los Angeles, California, Sept. 10
Thousands of corporations doing bust
ness in this State, but organized in Ari-
IONA and other places for the purpose OF
escaping the stockholders liability pro-
vision, are suffering from the shock OF a
decision just handed down BY the So
preme Court of California. The find.
ing in brief is to the effect that they are
just as amenable to the laws OF the
State as though they had filed their In
corporation papers here.
The new Interpretation was put ON
the laws in the case against the Went
worth hotel, q case that went to the
higher court a ter the plaintiff had been
given judgment in the Superior Court
of this county. The Wentworth Com
pany was organized under the Arizona
laws and sought to take advantage OF
the clause which provides that corpor-
atoms have the power to exempt the
private property of members from liza.
bility for corporate debts.
The law requires that the articles OF
incorporation must specify the exemp-
ton or stockholders will be liable in
the proportion that their holdings bear
to all the stock issued. In this State
there is no such provision for making
such exemptions and stockholders must
bear their proportionate share of in
debtedness.
California lawyers have been reaping
a harvest for some time by incorporat'
ing companies under the laws of Ari
IONA, putting in the exemption clause
and making provisions SO that corpora
tions can do business in this State
This has made it necessary for the in.
corporators to pay the fling fees both
in Arizona and here. but they did moi
care for this expense SC long as they
could gain what they thought would b,
security against the stockholders liza
bility.
