almost 100000 less annually now than

years has been 100000, while other
nations show an increase. Yet moth

of our country? We are assisting at
slow but certain suicide. No one SUI

AUSTRIA FIGHTS OIL TRUST
Cabinet Takes Steps to Curb Its Crow

Vienna, June 10-The Austrian min
listers OF finance, commerce and rail-
ways have decided upon joint admin.
istrative measures for the protection
OF the home petroleum industry against
the formidable inroads being made by
the Vacuum Oil company, the Austrian
branch of the Standard Oil company.
The plan is to take advantage, of
every technically of the mining laws
in order to hamper the Vacuum com
pany's officers. who will be compened
also to the strictest observance OF
their charter, especially the pro-
vision limiting the output of their re-
fineries. The quantity specified in the
charter is being constantly exceeded
by the company, it is asserted.
In the event that these steps do not
suffice to accomplish the purpose
sought the Austrian and Hungarian
parliaments will be asked to legislate
to the detriment of the American in
terests. -

tons Adopted Strongly Endorse the
Taft Administration and the Payne
Aldrich Tariff Law.
Milwaukee, June 10.-The most i'm
portant development in the Taft
Republican state convention is the
choice by the convention itself of
William D. Conner, the La Toilette
campaign manager of few years ago,
to act as state chairman of the "Taft'
Republican campaign committee and
to conduct the anti-La Toilette cam
paign this year.
The selection of Conner is a great
surprise. Between him and E. L.
Philip, who initiated the Taft move
ment, there is a very unfriendly feel
ing. Conner was not invited to the
preliminary conference. He was
snubbed and ignored in every way.
But he saw to it that many friends of
his were elected to the convention and
when it opened he had to be reckoned
with. In addition he really had been
selected at Washington to conduct the
campaign for the national administra-
ton and it is stated that Vice Pres
ident Sherman, realizing the prospect
Of trouble between the Philip and
Conner forces, took hand in the mat
ter and settled it by bringing about
the choice of Conner for chairman.
Action Eliminates Davidson.
The choice of Conner means that
Governor Davidson, who would like
to receive the endorsement of the new
movement for another term, will be
eliminated from the contest.
The administration Of President
Taft is strongly endorsed in the plat
form unanimously adopted at the clos
ing session of the convention. The
present tariff law is approved and the
provisions for maximum and mini
mum schedules and future scientific
revisions are commended Governor
Davidson's administration is also en-
dorsed.

committee consisting of two members
from each congressional district anS
the choosing of William D. Conner of
Marshfield as state chairman the con-
vention adjourned sine die.

nous. He held the same office six
years ago when La Toilette was gov
ernor.
