 We hold that the republican system of tariff protection, like any other sys- tenn of laws which enabled the favored few to take, without consideration, a large portion of the earnings of toil- ing millions, is economically unsound, politically corrupt, contrary to sound morals and Is legalized robbery.
 We denounce the Payne-Aldrich tar if act as an indefensible master piece of injustice, legally authorizing remorseless extortionS of the many to enrich the few through the operations of trusts and monopolies, which it of fers.
 "We favor any honest, non-partisan investigation of the tariff by authorized experts to the end that the electors may be enlightened as to the iniquity of the present system of spoilatioh, We regard the creation of board of tariff experts by the last Congress anc the appropriation of a quarter of a million dollars to enable them to visit foreign countries and to specifically limiting the report of their investiga- ton to the President alone as a mere subterfuge."

Chicago, September 27.-C. M. Dawes, counsel for the Burlington Railroad com pany, arguing before State Railroad Commissioner Ed R. Clark in the rail- read rate hearing today, declared that the commission could not fix a reason able rate of return of property of the Burlington and apply 1t to smaller roads, which would lose by such rate.
 These matters must be decided by in- dividual cases, said MT. Dawes. While a rate may be satisfactory to the Bur lington, it may not be so to smaller lines such as the Iowa Central. The reasonable rate to the property is one which is fair to the shippers. If the rate is unfair to the shipper we must cut our return.
 "If the commission fixed rates on the basis of the competing roads," said Com missioner Clark, land fixed re N An the most valuable road, the re,eSnN take care of themselves" >>.a>>t

NEWARKERS HEAR PLEA
FOR A GETTY BEAUTIFUL
National Civic Head Addresses
Clinton Hill Association.

j.. Horace Mcfarland, of Harrisburg,
Pa. president of the National Civic
Association, addressed the members OF
the Clinton Hill Improvement Associa-
ton ct their fifth annual banquet last
night in Kruger Auditorium, selecting
for his subject 1.-The Crusade Against
Ugliness.'' The speaker deplored the
apparent Indifference of Americans 10
the matter of identifying their cities
ana pointed out how European cities
were utilizing American money to bring
about the very results that this country
seems t. overlook or give scant on
sideration.
MIR. Mcfarland attacked b~illboards as
being unsightly and Improbable, and
SAID that telegraph and telephone wires
should all be underground. thus doing
away with the Increasing number of
poles that detract from the city's ap-
pearance.
The soft coal nuisance also came in
for criticism, and it was shown how
his evil could be lessened. A strong
plea was made for more parks, the
speaker contending that the more parks
there are the fewer policemen are
needed.
Mr.. Mcfarland illustrated his address
with a large number of stereopticon
views of cities in his country and
abroad. and these served to show how
Americans suffer in comparison with
European cities that devote more atten-
ton to "the city beautiful"
