Dear Sir.
In your Chautauqua speech at Pea
body. Kan, on the 23d inst, you are
reported as saying.
Il am not opposed to the railroads.
No man who values the public well
fare can be hostile to the railroads
but justice to all means to pay the
righteous dues as fixed by the laws
of trade by competition or through
society. The railroads of the coun-
try are capitalized at $4,000, OOO.-
900. The highest estimate 7 have
ever heard placed on the actual
amount of independent capital put
into their roads was $4,000, 900, 900.
There is nearly nine billion dollars
OF impure and adulterated water. You
have to pay more than you ought to
pay for the service you get in order
to pay dividends on this vast capt.
talization. !! The railroads charged
excessive rates and accumulated a |
surplus and this they put back into
the roads in improvements, and they
now ask you to pay additional inter-
est on this surplus, secure by extor-
tionate rates. In ten years the rail-
roads added $500, O00, 900 to their
capitalization in betterments and ex-
tentions without the investment of
single penny of independent cap
ital.
When Congress met a bill came
from the Attorney General. | regret
to say that the Attorney General for
got that he was Attorney General for
100000 people. But he remem-
bered his long law practice in New
York, when his chief business was to !
tell the corporation how to evade the ;
law. This bill provided for the re- |
peal of the antitrust law under |
which the traffic associations were ,
broken up and allowed all agree 7
ments to 60 into effect at once. This a
was a plain reputation of the Re- t
platform. Aldrich, in the t

dividends because any earnings that
are put into the property are, &C.
cording to your theory, not to BIZ
reckoned with as giving additional
value.
All the moneys heretofore earned
have been earned in accordance with
the laws of the land-the money
clearly belongs to the owners of the
property; they could have paid it to
themselves in dividends had they so
desired; II. instead of SO doing, they
decided to re-invest 1t in the property,
taking securities in return, you pro-
pose to confiscate it. Yet you are
mot opposed to the railroads"
l should like your authority for
the statement that in any ten years
OF the life of this country the rail
roads have issued $500, 100000 OF
securities for betterments and ex-
tensions representing no actual cash
outlay. The vagueness of the state
ment makes it impossible to refute
1t by actual figures, though l know It
is untrue. A very little study of the
facts would satisfy you that there are
few Industries in the United States
that have received as small returns
In the last twenty years as the rail-
roads, whether figured on present
value or on your alleged actual cost. |
There are few conspicuous exam
pies of prosperity due to favorable
locations and rapid development, just
as such cases will be found in all
kinds of business, but you cannot
legislate for these alone.
For Fair Regulation

not prosper unless the railroads are

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-An attack
on Supreme Court Justice Harlan for
activity before a house committee in

ture. 1t is understood Justice Harlan
had been on the pay roll of the uni

$4,000. Mr.. James said:
ut seems to me it is not quite
proper for a justice of the supreme
court to urge on congress, among
whose members are many men who
practice in this court and who may
be beholden to him for favors, that
they should make appropriations Tor

DEMOCRAT FLAYS
! TARIFF MEASURE
BLESSING TO RICH, PAIN TO
POOR, SAYS KITCHlN
Makes General Assault During
Debate on the Postoffice
Appropriation Bill
tAssociatAd Pressl


WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-Represen-
tative Claude Kitchin of North Caro-
lima made general assault on the
tariff law under the license of general
debate on the postoffice appropriation
bill in the house today.
Telling a number of stories of starry
ing children, and of workingmen ap-
pealing for work in large cities, Mr..
Kitchin concluded each statement:
And all this under the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff bill, which no one on the
Republican side has the courage to de-
fend."
Mr.. Kinchin declared the bill was
we'll named the "All-rich-pain BILL" a
blessing to the rich and a pain to the
hungry people of the country.
A lively exchange took place between
Mr. Kitchin and Mr.. Gardner of Mas
sachusetts over prices of food products.
Reading from testimony of Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, that meat pro-
ducts of the American farm were be-
ing sold in Europe cheaper than in this
country, Mr.. Kitchin said:
"It is not true that the farme' has
benefited by the high prices. Prices
for farm products were higher in 1898
under the Cleveland administration
than ever before, and statistics show
that"
Turning his attention to Cannon
ism,' Mr.. Kitchin, in dramatic man
ner, described what he termed plot to
assassinate Mr.. Cannon for the good of
the g. o. p
Referring to "near-insurgents," Mr..
Kitchin read from New York paper
description Of their alleged desire to
get rid of the speaker TO save them
selves in the next election.
I'm numbering Caesar, Brutus prom
ised Rome better than Caesar"
shouted Mr.. Kitchin. But you only
promise a weaker than the speaker.
For myself, I'd rather see lion than
jackal in that high place in this
house"

MEMBERS ERECT
NEW STRUCTURE
BUILDING READY BY EASTER
THEIR HOPE
Labor Is Being Done Free by Men of
Congregation, While Women
Prepare Their
Meals

Days of the famous circuit riders are
recalled by the scene at Third street
and Hobart boulevard, where Metho-
dists, deprived of a meeting place by
the district in which they live being
taken into the city, are building q
church for themselves which they eX-
pect to have finished In time for SER
vices Sunday. Eighteen men were
hard at work on the new structure yes
terday, and they are confident that it
will be ready in the required time.
The building is a small affair, but
will amply supply the needs of the
congregation until more accommodate
ing quarters can be found. 1t is being
built similar to many of the pretty
little bungalows in the vicinity and will
be sold for a dwelling as soon as a
regular church can be erected.
All the labor on the new ediflce is
being donated free by the members of
the congregation. Even the women of
the neighborhood, not to be outdone
by the men, come to the church each
day and spread the workmen's noon
meal before them. The men do not
work the regulation hours, but labor
as long as it is light enough to see.
Behind the hard work now being
done by the members of the Hobart
parish of the Methodist church is the
story of a congregation without place
to worship.
Until last Sunday the regular meet
ings We're held in the Cahuenga gram
mar school. When the Wiltshire dis
trict was taken into the city few
days ago, however, the city school
authorities refused to let them meet
there longer.
Determine to Build
When this situation confronted them
members of the parish, instead of
abandoning the society, determined to
erect a place of worship of their own,
and the new Hobart Methodist church
is the result.
The lot on which the new building
stands had to be purchased first, and
$100 toward this was raised at meet
ing of the ministers of the city last
Monday and $400 more was borrowed.
Lumber was secured at once and build
ing operation began Thursday. AT noon
Yesterday the building was at least
half finished and the carpenters have
no doubt that they will be able to have
it completed by tomorrow night.
Prof. James Blackledge, the pastor
of the new church, has worked faith
fully to get the new building, and 1T
was his untiring efforts which made it
possible.
The members of the congregation
have arranged for series of enter
tainments to aid in defraying the eX-
penses of the new church and are sell
ing tickets to them. The first one will
be given March 10 at Blanchard hall.
on that date Charles e. Locke, pastor
of the First Methodist church, Will
speak, his subject being "a Pilgrimage
to Some of the Shrines of American
Heroism."
Following this at different dates lee
tures will be given by DR.. Matt S.
Hughes of Pasadena, Robert Watchorn
and Rev. Francis M. Larkin and a
concert of sixty voices will end the
series of entertainments.

VIZ ASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The great

H ASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The great
w question of the authority of one
branch of the government over
another was argued in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, with
precedents dating from the days of
Chief Justice Marshall. The mere
mandamus proceedings of the Valley
Paper company of Holvoke, Mass,
against the joint congressional commit
tee on printing, evolved into a con-
test Of authority between the courts
and congress, and the foundations were
laid in a case as historfc as any In
the annals OF the judicit-ry.
Whether the printing committee can
be compelled by a court to rescind its
action on purchases OF paper Tor the
public printing and take into consider
alton the bid of the Valley Paper COM
pany is the immediate question
Whether congress and its members,
in their official capacity, and clothed
with constitutional immunity, are
amenable to the law will be the ulti-
mate one, counsel on each side is
ready to admit.
Today senators of the printing COM
mittee continued to ignore the sum
mons of the court on the ground 1t
was without jurisdiction. They were
not represented by counsel. They are
Senators Root of New York, Smoot of
Utah and Fletcher of Florida. The
members of the committee of the house,
however, Allen F. Cooper of Pennsyl-
vania, Sturgiss of West Virginia and
David e. Finley of South Carolina,
occupied seats in the front row of the
spectators and were represented col
lectively and individually by bat
TALON of counsel. The department of
Justice was represented, fer the first
time, to contest the jurisdiction OF the
court.
The meat of the committees plea in
answer to the paper company's man
damus was that the companys bid
was not 1.-The lowest in the best inter-
ests of the government" and that 1t
failed to comply with certain legal
technicalities.
On the question of it's relation to the
court, however, the graver contention
was made that the members of the
printing committee were clothed with
the constitutional immunity conferred
upon them by their membership in con-
gress; that they did not act in min
isterial capacity, and that the man.
damus, stripped of it's primary features,
was not a mandamus against the print
ing committee at all, but really man
damus from the supreme court of the
District of Columbia to congress itself.
The committees plea was that as a
committee it's members did the same
work which congress could do upon
the floor of both houses if it choose to
do so.
Justice Wright said he would hand
down his decision Monday. This pre-
sents a situation entirely new in Amer
lean jurisprudence, with the possibility
of the three United States senators be-
ing adjudged in contempt of court, and
with the possibility of a supreme court
Justice being accused by congress.
