TRAIN KILLS OLD SOLDIER.

An old soldier was struck in the
head and instantly killed by Passenger
Train No. IL at about midnight
Thursday evening of last week as that
train was pulling out of Detroit. The
man was evidently asleep close to the
rails of the track and as the tram
was moving at quite a fair rate, he
was thrown to one side by the engine.

TAFT'S MESSAGE
SPECIAL MESSAGE ON RAILROAD
And TRUST MEASURES.
Pre- Sident would Create a Court of
Commerce to Control Railroad
Rates in Interstate Commerce.
He Is Opposed to Changing Sher.
man Law at This Time.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. SIN
his message on the proposed amend
ments4to the interstate commerce. act
and antitrust measures, sent to Con-
gress yesterday, President Taft pro-
poses firm railroad regulation.
The President would create "cir-
cult court of commerce" to consist of
five judges, each of whom is to receive
| $4,000 a year.
From its decisions appeals can be TAX
dction in all railroad rate complaints.
Prom it's decisions appeals can be TAX
en- only to the United States supreme
court. The idea of the court is to
provide prompt action.
Pooling of rates, as asked by the
railroads, is authorized.
The Interstate commerce commits
sion is authorized to investigate all
rates on it's own motion, without COM
plant by shipper. Such investigat-
ion must be made before any rate be-
comes effective.
Owning of stock by one railroad in
any competing line or lines is prOhib-
tied.
All new stocks and bond issues
must first be inspected and approved
by the commission before their is
suance can be allowed.
Safety appliances and conveniences
for trainmen under the order and in
spection of the commission are de-
manded.
An amendment to the law so that
suits under the employers liability
provisions can become easy, is asked.
The president would not change the
Sherman anti trust act at this time.
He upholds combinations, declaring
them essential to modern business, but
he does not uphold monopolies. He
emphasizes his position on that point.
He asks law authorizing federal
charters for corporations dong an in
terstate business, such corporations to
be under the supervision and control
of the federal government, and not of
the various states.
The president says that under ex-
listing conditions, it is the duty of the
executive department, acting through
the department of justice to investi-
gate "by grand jury or otherwise"
al corporations or combination whose
purposes may be under suspicion. But
he fears that any such investigation
can only be had at the cost of great
danger to the business of the country.
So he asks that opportunity be pro-
vided for these various combinations
and corporations to come back into
"the zone of lawfulness."
Federal charters are to be volun-
tary, not compulsory, but the Presi-
dent thinks that every corporation
will take advantage of the law.
He declares that the government
will not cease it's prosecution of un-
lawful combinations.

SUGGESTIONS

1. The provision for unlimited
number OF tracks and switches is too
indefinite, and might, in the course
of SO years, be construed to take
SO much of the road as to inter-
1ero with traffic. A provision
should be inserted prohibiting the
use of the murderous third rail sys-
TEN and requiring the company 70
provide suitable crossings, as well as
to keep the read between the tracks
and for two feet on each side in the
same state of improvement as the
wagon road may be placed in The
right to lay water pipes should be
eliminated. Such service is prop
erly and usually, supplied by mum
icipalities, and the clause is plain
ly a long distance speculation.
2. The modification in this Sec
tion is made merely to remedy the
defect in the former document-that
gave water, main.rights for so years,
contrary to the state law, and all
relating to such rights should be
stricken out.
3. Section three adds a year to
the time for building the road to
MOntesanO-a road the Interurban
company has no intention to build,
a fact made plain by their attempts
to give away this part of the fran
chise to anybody who will build it.
This fact became known to the Her.
aid through a party who had been
0Tered this road il he would build
it.
The words, Eat the option of the
county commissioners should be
stricken from the forfeiture clause,
and the forfeiture made absolute
and self operating. The actions of
county commissioners in the past
few years have not been such as to
inspire great degree of confidence
in their discretion.
4. The same change should be
made in section four. A seven year
speculation in 120 miles of public
roads is long enough, where the
building of 20 miles only is provided
for on years. The forfeiture should
be self acting at the end of seven
years, a period too long to tie up
all roads, and the "option of the
commissioners is entirely unde-
sirable.
S. Section five, in providing for
highways SO years hence is triffle
indefinite. In a franchise of this
duration nothing should be left for
conjecture in the future. The ex-
act performance expected of the
grantee, as to the location of the
line; the matter of public safety and
convenience at crossings, as we'll as
the amount of roadway to be i'm
proved and kept in repair should
be stated in specific terms in the
franchise.
6. This eliminates the state aid
roads, over which the grantees of
the franchise have learned the coun-
ty commissioners have no such auth
ority, and provides for seeking the
consent Of the state highway COM
mission.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Jan. 1.-THE
insurgent republicans of the house are
not intimidated by the action of the
ADMINISTRATION in Withholding patronage
from them and are not scared into
silence by any combination of Presi-
dent Taft and Speaker Cannon"
This was the declaration today of
Representative Norris, of Nebraska, a
leading insurgent. Mr. Norris resent
ed stories appearing in one or two
shingtOn and New York newspa-
pers today to the effect that insurg-
ents are Lying down" under the edict
of the administration. On the contra
ry, Mr.. Norris returned to the attack
and criticized President Taft himself
for the act of the administration in
singing out insurgent representatives
for punishment.
president Taft is making a grave
mistake by aiding Cannon in this way
and | want to say so unhesitatingly,"
continued Mr.. Norris. 81 don't OBJ
ject nor do any of the insurgents OBJ
ject as far as | know, to the withhold
ig of patronage from us. But | den-
ounce this singing out of the men
who have opposed Cannon and the
of punishment.
"How can the President say we are
opposed to his policies and declare that
we are to be punished for it when we
. have not opposed his policies in any
way? We do not, in fact. yet know
what President Taft's policies are to
be. We have not even received his
message on several important subjects.
Still, we have been punished
POSTMASTER General Hitchcock has
admitted that we are being discrimi-
mated against right now, although we
have done nothing to merit 1T except
to oppose Cannon and the house ma
chine.
THE President is aiding Cannon.
There is no other construction that
can be placed on this move of the ad-
ministration.
81 want to say that this effort to de-
feat us by starting fights against us
at home is open to vigorous criticism.
81 have no objection to Speaker Can
non of any of his supporters coming
to Nebraska and making any kind OF
a fight on me that they wish to make,
but do deny that the republican con-
gressional committee has any right to
attack us. 1t is unjust and unfair.
"The fight of the insurgents in the
house will continue against Speaker
Cannon and the house rule which he
personifies We will not, however,
oppose any policy of the President so
long as it is republican doctrine"

GOHL BUTTS IN

While some boys were enjoying a
little coasting on Broadway hill Sat-
urday morning, William Gohl. the
somewhat notorious agent of the
Sailors Union, objected to the amuse-
ment, and scattered ashes on the
walks. The boys removed the ashes
and went on with their play, when
Gohl nailed Stats across the walks.
Nothing daunted, the lads pulled off
the Stats, when the abused sailor rang
for the police-whom, it is said, he is
not at all times so anxious to see.
