pEARYS PROOFS DEMANDED.
House Committee in No Hurry to
Reward Explorer.


Pearys proofs must go before Congress,
in all probability. before any steps are
taken to reward him for his discovery of
the north pole.
The subcommittee Of the House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs. which has
charge Of the various bills introduced on
this subject, yesterday adopted a reso-
luton calling on the Secretary OF Com
merce and Labor, under whose Jurisdlc-
ton Peary was exploring IN the arctic
circle when he dropped in on the pole.
to submit to the subcommittee any Of
fetal reports or proofs that may have
been turned in by Peary bearing on his
discovery.
It was explained by members that the
Naval Affairs Committee had merely
general reports" that Peary had reached
the pole. and wanted TO see something
detailed. conclusive. and official before
going on record or making any move to
reward him.
Consequently no action was taken on
the Hale and Allen measures. proposing
to retire Peary with the rank and pay OF
rear admiral OF the line; the Butler
bill, suggesting q vote of thanks and a
gold medal: the Bates bill. offering an
annuity of 5000 for life. and other meas
ures to the same effect.

but the gold remained the
same. When asked how the
commodities would fare, were
half the gold in the country
thrown into the sea and the min
es closed down, he was obliged
to admit that the affect would
be to lower prices, but still in
sisted that $50 in gold would
still be 500.
He did not know that when
silver was demonetized (Which
was throwing away half the
worlds, money! goldwas at once
inflated, as measured by the
worlds products it was at length
inflated 100 per cent. That is,
it required two bushels of pota-
toes or apples, or two dozen eggs,
to buy as much gold as hall their
amount bought fifteen years be-
fore. But interest bearing secur-
tiles did not depreciate. The
country and people owed vast
sums which they had to pay in
gold. 1t made three-fourth OF
them bankrupt.
Now the business. is reversed.
So great has been the influx OF
gold that it has fallen in value,
and with it so have interest-bear-
securities. For instance, if in
1872 a man gave a note for six
years at 6 per cent per annum,
for say 81, 900, the interesu and
principal when the note fell due
Of course amounted to 81 800.
Ii, when he gave the note, he
could have covered the whole
sum with seventeen acres of his
land, when it fell due it required
quite thirty-four acres to pay it,
and under forced sale fifty acres.
Now, had he given the same note
six years ago, he could meet it
now with half the land or half
the products of the land, COM
pared with their value when he
gave thenote. Which shows that
gold is just like the eggs we eat
at breakfast. 1t requires just
about twice the money to buy a.
dozen eggs now that it will after
st. Valentines day, when the
hens resume their duties.
But some one will ask: "Why,
if goldis deprecated, asyou say,
would you remonetize silver and
add to the money volume OF the
world2" The answer is to vastly
increase trade, do a more gigan-
tic business, and make market
for the silver in lands which have
been absorbents of silver for a
thousand years.

How Trusts Work

The Boise Statesman thinks it
has made a wonderful discovery
concerning the way prices are
established and maintained by
the "meat trust" 1t says: "The
Boise meat trust says to the man
who raises beef--the stockman:
You take aoh;tt zoe giye you."
The Boise meat trust says to
thecOnsumer:
" You pay '0Aat ne ask
1t arbitrarily fixes the price
BOTH WAYS, sitting COMPETE
tion and exactingan illegitimate
price from the people"
IT'S wonderful how astute the
leading republican organ of the
State OF Idaho mas become to be
able to discover the fact that the
system" fixes both prices. Why,
bless your heart, the common
people have known this for years,
for every farmer and farmers
wife know that they have moth
ing to say about the price they
get for what they have to sell, or
the price they have to pay for
what they have to buy, for the
prices are fixed by the bosses OF
the system under which all lines
OF business are conducted.
Talk aboutcompetitionl There
is no such thing as honest com
petition in business any more
as the entire business of the coun-
try is dominated by the system
1.-THE trusts.
For years the formation and
perfection OF this system has been
going on, at first secretly and
under many DISCUSSES, until the
beast had grown to such huge
proportions that it could be no
longer concealed in the Jungle
and had to be permitted to come
out into the open, where the Sys-
TENS agents were compelled to
allay the fears of an indignant
and alarmed people by explain
ing to them how useful and bene-
fetal the possession of such an
animal would be to the DEAR
PEOPLE.
The Trusts are here and here
to stay, and there is but one
thing for the consumer and pro-
ducer to do in this matter and
that is to politically join hands
regardless OF race, color or pre-
vious condition of political servi-
tude and change the system by
having the Nation own and con
troll, or regulate, all lines of pro-
ductiOn and distribution of ne

augurated and rushed to COM
pletion, and wants authority to
issue and sell bonds to pay for
the same. Ii bonds are issued
the interest and principal Of
them will have to be paid. If
they are twenty-fve-year bonds.
then for every dollar so obtained,
two dollars will eventually have
to be paid. What is the need of
that? Ii $5O0,OOO,OO0 is re-
duired, why compel the people
to pay 1000 million extra in
taxes in the coming twenty-five
years? We have $346, OOO,O 900
in circulation in greenbacks.
They are doing vastly more work
than any like amount in gold
is doing. They were as good as
gold twenty years ago, when
the money and property values
OF the country were not one
third their value at the present
day. A new adjustment of the
laws and a new issue OF them to
the amount of $500, 900, 900
every dollar of the new issue,
backed as the present 1916, 00O,-
O0Ois would beas good as gold.
And they would bearno interest,
and with the steady increasing
revenues OF the country, after
ten years, probably sooner,
$1O0,000,000 pr anum OF them
could be called in and destroyed
and the people would not feel
their issue, nor their retirement.
For that matter, their calling
in could begin with the sales OF
the first lands reclaimed, and
the billion dollars which, with the
bond issue, will have to be paid
by the people, would never have
an existence, and the men who
pay the taxes would save that
billion.
Better still, if Congress would
rehabilitate silver, the silver
produced in this country, and
put it in circulation in the form
OF silver certificates, the money
in that form WOULD do the work,
within three months the oriental
exchanges would be restored to
their old place and our export
trade with half the world, which
is now lost, would be resumed.
Within the year silver would be
just a good as gold the world
around, and our trade relations
with the myriads of the orient
and with South America, would
be better than any other nation
would have.
Ii the people only understand
that nothing ever lessened the
value OF silver in terms of gold,
except the withdrawal by legisla
ton OF recognition of it as pri-
mary money, they might be more
reasonable. The writer heard
an educated eastern gentleman
say yesterday: "The reason
people cling to gold as their
standard Of values, is because
its value never changes, never
fuctuates. When told that it
had fallen 30 per cent in value
in the last fifteen years, he be-
came half indignant. Taking a
500, piece from his pocket, he
said: 'Is not that $50, the
same that it was fifteen years
ago?" "Oh, mol" was the reply;
81 can buy your $50 with half
the potatoes, eggs, or butter or
apples orany other food, orwith
half the land that Icould twenty
years ago"
He insisted that what was

RAILROAD BILL DEBATE
CUMMINS OPPOSES WATER
WAYS AMENDMENT.
Would Not Deprive Interstate Com
merce Commission of It's
Authority.

The Senate began business the adj
ministration railroad bill today by taking
up the committee amendment explicitly
Withholding from the interstate COM
1nerce commission authority over trans
portation wholly by water.
In response to a request frem Mr.. Cum
minis Senator Elkins said the amendment
had been prepared at the instance OF the
water interests. He said that the desire
was TO leave water transportation en-
tirely untrammeled, on the theory that
1t should be encouraged as affording the
most effective competition with the rail-
roads.
Mr. Cumnins thought the present law
should not be changed He was opposed
TO any step looking to a diminution OF
the powers of the interstate commission.
The consideration of the amendment led
TO a discussion regarding the western
coastwlse shipping. Mr.. Piles of WASH
fngton and Mr. Chamberlain of Oregon
engaged in a colloquy as to whether there
was sufficient competition in that section,
the latter contending that 1t had been
suppressed largely by the railroad ship
ping lines. and the latter declaring that
much of the business was done by steam
ship lines.
Mr. Chamberlain also asserted that the
railroads had largely cut out competition
or the Mississippi by building railroad
lines parallel with that stream

Citizens Association, Senator Scott in
troduced bill providing for the purchase
for use as public parks Of two squares

and 18th streets southeast. In request
ing the passage of this measure the as
ISOLATION explains that the squares are
not large enough for building purposes
The houses already on them, the asso-
citation says. are unsightly and their re-
moval would beautify the street. The
cost is estimated at $4,000.

which approves designs for public build
ings. Under present law the board is
composed Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. Secretary Of the Interier and the

ACTION ON WOOD PULP
BY QUEBEC A SURPRISE
Odcia1s Here Fear It May Cause
Rift in Friendly Trade Rela-
tons With Canada.

The announcement that the province Of
Quebec may prohibit the expectation of
pulp wood from that province to the
United States was received here with
regret. At the State Department it was
said that the prospect of closer COM
merciaI relations and of a trade treaty
with the Dominion were thought to be
sufficiently encouraging to defer any OF
the provinces from imposing prohibtory
restrictions at this time.
Such summary action as is proposed. 1t
is said would interfere seriously with
the realization of the suggested trade
treaty and might in measure nullify the
good that was recently accomplished by
the closer friendly relations into which
the governments Of the United States and
the Dominion OF Canada have been
brought.
The proposed increase of stumpase dues
and license fees for the sake of insurtzlg
Increased revenue is not questioned, but
the intention to prohibit the expectation
of pulp wood is regarded i'm some quar-
tiers as closely approaching an unfriendIy
act. During the tariff negotiations in OF
tawa and subsequently at Albany and
Washington, there was some discussion Of
the wood pulp situation, but that matter
is understood to have been left to be fur
Their discussed in connection with the pro-
posed reciprocity treaty between this
country and the dominion. the initial steps
in which, 1t was believed. would be taken
during the coming month.
That the decision of the Quebec author
tiles is designed to benefit Canadian labor
is the general belief of the Washington
officials. Ultimately, they think. il
will result in the establishment of pulp
factories in the province, thus reducing
by SO much the manufacture Of pulp At
American works.

ASKS REASONS, NOT FACTS.
Change in Customs Fraud Resolu-
ton Addressed to Taft.

An extended discussion over the Fitz-
gerald resolution calling on the President
to .nforni the House What facts. If
any, now exist which make inexpedient
a thorough examination at this time by
the House of Representatives of the
frauds in the customs service?" took
Mace in the House today.
A substitute for this resolution was re-
ported by Mr.. Hill of Connecticut, chair
man Of the committee on expenditures In
the Treasury Department. as result of
q conference he had yesterday with Pres
ident Taft.
This substitute calls on the President to
state what reasons instead OF what
facts made a congressional investigation
inexpedient.
Mr.. Fitzgerald strenuously objected to
this change, claiming that the facts were
wanted by Congress to guide 1t in it's
judgment and not reasons.
