Taft's Plan to Regulate Trusts and
Railroads.

The following is brief synopsis OF
President Taft's special message on inter-
state commerce and the trusts, sent to
Congress last Friday:
Voluntary Federal incorporation of in
terstate industrial concerns, with pro-
hibition of the "holding company" evil.
Endorsement of combinations of indus
trial capital where these are decided not
to constitute harmful trusts; thus reliev-
ing certain classes subject 10 unjust con-
demnation under the existing law.
A "United States Court of Commerce, !"
to have original jurisdiction over classes
of cases which are specified, thus reliev-
ing the Interstate Commerce Commission
OF certain labor and an incongruous COM
bination of functions.
Permitting limited railway pools, sub
ject to all the provisions of the interstate
comerce act.
Protection of the shipper in the matter
of rate quoted for proposed shipments by
financial penalties for refusal or omission
by carrier to quote proper rate.
Authority to commission to act, on its
own initiative, in investigating fairness
OF rates or practices, and to pass on classi-
fications of commodities.
Power to the commission to hold up for
a limit of sixty days proposed increases
of rates until it shall have passed upon
their ressonableness; and if found un-
reasonable, to forbid the increase or fix a
maximum.
Giving shippers the right to designate
through routes over which their ship
ments shall pass.
Forbidding railroads to acquire interest
in any competing railroad or other COM
peting corporation; but with certain pro-
visos affecting ownership already ac-
quired.
Forbidding insurance of railway stock
or bonds unless par value has been re-
ceived for them --or, II at less than par
value, the easor able market value as as
certsined by the com mission; the same to
apply where the consideration received is
services or anything other than money.
Also preventing improvident or improper
issue of notes.
Giving the Interstate Commerce Com
mission power TO determine upon uni
form construction of safety appliances on
railroads, and facilitating the serving OF
process in suits under the employers La
bility act.

Unaffected by Drought.

The Oil City Derrick of Monday called
attention to the fact that srtesisn wells
flowing large quantities of water, have
been unaffected by the recent droughts,
those of this and last year being particu-
larly notable. The writer states that dur
ing last August the Meter Gas company,
composed of John Caffery and G. II.
Weaver, of Oil City, and Joseph Fletcher,
Of Erie, started a we'll on the Litchen-
berger farm, two miles southeast of Fry
burg, Clarion county. The drill pene-
trsted freshwater strata and the fluid
started flowing the full volume of the
casing, which is 81 inches in diameter,
and it has kept up at the original gait
ever since, the flowing from the we'll
having the dimensions of brook of good
size. The owners of the we'll say that the
volume of water is four times that of any
of the artesian wells flowing in Monarch
park. Similar water veins. o.called
"lakes or underground rivers" have
been tapped ever since the early oil ex-

on the Henry Buxton farm, three miles
east of Titusville. 1t is more than 80
years old and is now flowing as much
water as when first drilled. Other wells
were drilled at Fieldmore, near Titus
Vile; at Kaneville, few miles south of
here, and between Housewife and Plum.
er, Venango county. 1t is also held that
the whirlpool springs at Monarch PARK
and the srtesian we'll there are from the
same source. The vein swings to the
east from Monarch park and similar
wells are found at Jefferson, near Eden
burg, Clarion county, and below st.
Petersburg, Clarion county; at Argyle,
Butler county, and at Carbon Center.
The area is roughly estimated at about 20
miles wide by rs miles long, so far as it
has been developed while drilling for oil
in the sections named. Other big wells
have been struck near Pleasantvile and
they, too, seem to have struck the pool.

TidiOute's New Telephone.

At meeting of the borough council of
Tidioute held Monday, January 8, the
ordinance granting franchise to the Pc
troleum Telephone Company was passed
over the veto of Burgess Frank s. Han
chett Only one member of council voted
by the burgess were that two telephones
were not necessary to the business men
of the borough and that extra expense
would be entailed through the necessity
of merchants hsying both telephones in
their places of business. That the sddi-
tion of poles and wires would detrsct
from the appearance of Tidioute and that
the telephone company should remuner-
ate the borough for the proposed fran
chise. II suggested the sum of $500 as
equitable.
W. s. Pacs, of Oil City, manager for the
Petroleum company, says that 1t is its in
tention to extend the lines into Tidioute
at once. That the wires are already
strung to within three miles of the Dor.
ough and that it will not be much OF job
to complete the extension, The Forest
County Telephone Company, which has
offices in Msrienyille, Tionesta and West
Hickory, will establish an ex Exchange in
Tidioute and the Petroleum Telephone
Company will connect with it. There
are large number of rural subscribers
between Pleasantville, where the Petro-
leum already has an exchange, and Ti-
dioute, and the application for the fran
chise was in response to their demands
for greater extension. Tidioute people
will have access to upward of 5000 SUBJ
scribers by the location of the new offices
there. This service includes free and
toll stations in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
New York.-oil City Derrick. The above
is correct, with the exception that the
franchise was granted to the Forest Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.

JEREMIAH A. SToBER, State Treasurer.
elect of Pennsylvania, was found dead in
bed Monday morning, January 10th, at
his house in Schoeneck, Lancaster coun-
ty, and it is believed that heart disease
was the cause, as he had retired apparent
ly in good health. Stober was 81 years
old, and was elected on the Republican
ticket in November, and was to have
taken office in May. He fought in the
Civil War and served several terms in
the Legislature as Representative and
Senator. He will be remem bered as hav-
ing been visitor in Tionesta with other
State candidates on September Goth, last.
The term of John o. Shestz, now State
Treasurer, does not expire until May,
1910. 1t will therefore be the duty of
Governor Stuart to appoint treasurer to
serve from May l, 1910, TO May l, 1911,
whose successor will be nom mated next
June and elected at the regular election
in November, to serve for three years.

THE Pennsylvania and other railroads
of the state have issued orders for the
strict enforcement of the new age law in
regard to minors, and since January l
they have heen busy rearranging their
forces. The new law provides that no
one under IS years of age shall be en-
ployed in any capacity where he will
have to be around trains or in any way
close to engines, machinery, etc. Persons
under Is, therefore, can only be employed
in clerical positions, with few exceptions.

The farmer is the man who moves the
world, we might say. Ifhe would 90 on
a strike and refuse TO raise a crop for a

result from universal strike of all the
labor organizations combined. In fact
be could paralyze the world; yet there are
