Never in it's history has the re-
publican party passed and become
responsible for as much useful and
progressive legislation" says Prest-
dent Taft, referring to the last ses-
sion of congress. Is it not almost
impudent for the head of a great re-
public like ours to say that Iegisla-
ton which increases the cost of liv-
ing to 90,000,000 persons is the most
useful and progressive" ever
passed?

Up in Kalamazoo, Mich, there is an
organization which is fighting the good
roads movement A gathering was an
nounced at "a meeting of the oppo-
nents of good roads" That's peculiar
business in this age of progress. If
there's anything we need in this coun-
try, that thing is better roads. They
are needed just as soon as we can get
them. Millions of dollars put into
making roadways of America good and
permanent would be the cheapest in
vestment the country could make Op-
position to the good roads movement is
poor business for any set of citizens to
tolerate, let alone foster.

Aug. 8: THE republican party
cannot exist if it becomes subservient
to the people who seek to and have
thus far succeeded in controlling it,.
and the fall of the government is i'm
minent unless this battle between the
masses and the interests, the majority
and those prompted by greed and
avarice, is won by the former, and if
the fall comes the crumbling will start
from within, where corrupt and in
sidious influences are now at work. "
The way to purify the republican
party and save the republic is to vote
a straight democratic ticket this fall.

Senator Dolliver is refreshing when
he is frank, and he is decidedly
frank in discussing the financial in

gobble legislation in this country.

Taft-Ballinger-C Cannon ct al, falling

by Withholding patronage and cam
paign funds from them, and unsuc-
cessful in killing them off by ridiCule

In his letter to the chairman of
the Republican congressional com
mittee, President Taft says the
Payne-Aldrich revision was a down
ward revision, especially as to raw
materials. OF course Revision
downward on raw materials and revi-
sion upward on the manufactured
product is exactly what the trusts
and big manufacturers asked for.
This kind of revision took from the
producer whatever small benefit ne
may have received through protec-
ton, and made it possible for the
trusts to increase their profits by be-
ing able to get their raw materials
cheaper and at the same time to adj
vance the cost of the manufactured
product. Selah!

About the Rubber Trust.

Senator Bristow's speech at Win,

particular line 1t showed how
certain interests have used the
government for their own enrich,
ment.
When the tariff bill was up fol
discussion Aldrich pushed up
through an increase on the duty of
manufactured rubber There is
hardly anything that is more COM
monty used than manufactured
rubber. There is hardly a citizen
rich or poor who does not buy man.
ufactured rubber.
While the senator from Rhode
Island was getting in his work in
the senate he and the GuggenheimS
were forming a rubber trust that
would control the manufactured
product in this country. The head
of the trust is the son of Senator
Aldrich, and a principal stakeholder
with Aldrich and his son is Senator
Guggenheim of Colorado who was a
faithful lieutenant of the Rhode Is
land senator
That the trust is oppressive is
shown by the fact that the divi-
dends are already amounting to 16
per cent per quarter and not con-
