SENATOR BR|STON
AFT TER RAILROADS
Condemns capitalization In
debtedness Not Represented
by Any Investments.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan, July 22-Rail-
road legislation was the theme upon which
Senator James L. Brstow duelt In his
speech here this evening,
'The railroads OF the United States,''
he said. have issued capitalization In
debtedness OF millions in recent years for
which not dollar has been invested In
the properties. Yet this enormous In
debtedness is a mortgage on the COM
merce Of the country. which ultimately
must be paid.
"One of the most important questions
before the public today is the limiting
of capitalization of these public service
corporations to their actual value. The
progressive Republicans. aided by a few
Democrats. sought to amend the railroad
bill to require that every dollar re-
ceived for the sale OF stocks and bonds
be actually invested In the construction
and Improvement OF the corporation prop
erty, This amendment offered by Senator
Dolllver was defeated by com bina tion
OF the Adrich Republicans and state
rights Democrats. But In the end the
supervision of the capitalization must
come. We came within two votes OF
passing an amendment in favor of en-
powering the interstate commerce com
mission to ascertain the valuation OF rail-
roads, such values TO be used In de-
termin!ns the rates such roads would be
entitled 10 charge and the amount of cap
italzation they would be justified in

night Governor Folk made the princi-

ADMITS ASSOCIATION,
BUT DENIES A TRUST

CHICAGO, July 22.-John F.. Wolff. vice
president of one OF the largest concerns
accused by the government of being a
member of the bath tub trust" denied
here late today that the manufacturers
were linked together as n trust.
1t Is true that we have an associa-
said Mr.. Wolf. The association makes
no attempt TO fix prices and is entire
~ within the law. II was organized In
this manner. All OF the manufacturers
had patents. Some were for enameling
processes. some for the Iron molding work
on the tubs. and Others for the various
processes needful In the manufacture Of
the tubs. We were forced 10 pay royal
ties TO each other for the use OF each
other s patents.
10 facilitate matters we got together
at Baltimore some time ago and bnnched
our patents, turning them over TO r.. l.
Nayman, who then leased them out TO
the various manufacturers. The report
Wsnt out that we were combining and
the government suit was the outcome"

Concrete Illustration.

I'm many cases the charges were left
so high that the price. on many articles
was increased In the face of a reduced
tariff and because the domestic manu-
facturers were not afraid of foreign com
petition.
Here is sample: The duty on steel
rails was reduced from S724 a ton 10 So %
a ton. and stlll the United States Steel
corporation is able to maintain price
OF VS. ton because we can make rails so
much cheaper here than in other coun-
tries
The cotton schedule was actually
raised an average OF % per cent simply
to specific duties. and this was one Of
the biggest frauds perpctrated by con-
gress IN revising the tariff.
,,m In all the long debate on the tariff
apply the standard of the Republican
platform pledge. He and his followers
openly and contemptuously repudiated
every word of that platform pledge. In
all the evidence taken by the house ways
and means committee there were not
dozen Items OF the six thousand in which
showing was made as to the cost OF

1T was an open and explicit repudIa-
ton of our platform and a perversion of
the protective theory I am not an In
surgent Republican. II It is said that
am insurging against the Republican ma
tiona platform I am insurging against
men Of the Cannon Aldrch stripe. men
who are openly violating the pledges of
the party and advancing causes OF mo-
nopilist control OF industry.
The insurgents, or progressives, a bet
ter term, offer two remedies. First:
knowledge OF the cost OF production. No
one knows what the different items OF
cost now are What we need Is the con-
stant work OF an itellgent. Independent,
impartial and nonpartisan tariff COM
mission that can get the information and
then tell congress just what II wants to
know. The first tense Of the proSressives
is to establish such n comm ssion. We
have made a start In the tariff board,
but 1t is not the best way Of doing the
work.
THE second remedy is to make a rule
whereby any schedule of the tariff bill
may be revised at will. without going
through the whole OF the tariff schedule.
This would eliminate the intoerable vice
Of the present system. whereby a con-
other members and will vote for many
schedules he believes are absolutely wrong
to get a schedule he believes Is right.

cerely believe In the protection theory,
but we do not believe in allowing mo-
nopolies 70 control the industries of the
country"
When shown report from Des Moines
today to the effect that he favored the
organization of third party TO take up
the progressive propaganda, Senator
Cummjps said:
II have never thought OF new party
and am not organizing one now and do
not believe in II as the exponent OF pro-
gressve ideas The Republican party can

Engineering Work III Towns

work by Ernest Mccullough, form
erly Consulting Engineer for the
Merchants Association of San Fran
cisco contains the following COM
mcnts:
The writer wishes to go upon
record as saying that with honest
workmanship and honest materials
the bitulithiC pavement i'll his opin
ion has a larger per cent of desir
able qualities than any material he
is acquainted with. 1t approaches
nearly the ideal pavement.
SO far as the writer has had an
opportunity to Judge, and he has
seen the pavement i'll many cities,
the bitulithic pavement possesses
all the advantages of asphalt with
few of the disadvantages. Asphalt
few years ago was heralded as the
ideal pavement under all conditions
and for all places. Today it must
take second or lower place
The essential principles of btu
lithic are the durability and resist
anCe to destructive traffic and 9th
er conditions, which can only he
secured through the use of mineral
ingredients so combined as to have
almost the COmpaCtness and resist
ance of solid stone, However, the
solid stone would not be suitable
because of its lack of rcsilicncy and
the absence of elasticity, the tend
encv to abrade and thus wear away
under the Influence of traffic. In
bitulithiC the desirable essential Gle
ments have been preserved and the
Weaknesses eliminated by the COM
bination of various sizes of stone so
mixed as to reduce the VOids or in
terstices to a minimum and these
voids are filled with a water proof
elastic cement which produces the
necessary ease of traction and at
the same time binds the mineral in
gradients permanently together.
In the construction of the btu
lthic pavement the first step is to
secure stone which is adapted to
produce the best results. After
careful inspection and laboratory
tests to determine the porositv and
feablity of the stone, it is deter
mined what proportions of the vary
ing sizes can be used to give that
resistance known as inherent sta
bility to a mixture of the various
sizes. To the mineral ingredients
in the predetermined proportions
is added the bitulninous waterproof
cement in sufficient quantity to ell
tirely fill the remaining voids.
The resulting mixture combined

as can be any form of street con
struction exposed to wear and tear
