WHY NOT TAKE THE REiNs9


Roger Sherman Hoar, Concord,
Mass.-The best answer have yet
seen to Senator Owens question is
contained in the following poem by
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, published by
the Trade Union Book Concern Of
Chicago:
If fifty men did all the work
And gave the price to five;
And let those five make all the
rules,
You'd say the fifty men wore
fools.
Unfit to be alive.
And II you heard complaining cries
From fifty brawny men,
Blaming the five for graft ard
greed,
Injustice. cruelty indeed
What would you call them theng
Not by their own superior force
Do five on fifty live;
But by election and assent
And privilege of government
Powers that the fifty give
If fifty men are really FOOLS
And five have all the brains
The five must rule as now wa
find.
But If the fifty have the mind
Why don't they take the reins?

SENATOR SMOOT At HEAD
Subcommittee of Senate Committee
on Public Lands Selected to
Consider Conservation.
,special to The Herald-Republican.l

Especial to The Herald-Republican)
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator SmoOt
was today appointed chairman Of sub
committee of the Senate committee on
public lands to draft bill for the con-
servation of the natural resources. The
other members are Clark of Wyoming,
Dixon of Montana, Chamberlain of Ore
gon and Hughes of Colorado. This sub
committee will hold hearings and try
to reach an agreement on the form Of a
bill that will command the support Of
the Republicans of the Senate. They
will report to the full committee as
soon as possible.
James r. Garfield, former secretary of
the interior, today appeared before the
public lands committee as the repre-
sentative Of the conservation associa-
ton to present his views upon the sub
ject of government control of water
power sites. 1t was developed that the
idea was that the government should
control these sites except in states that
have commissions for the control of
public utilities, and when states have
such commissions the entire question
should be turned over to them. The
proposed bill drafted by Mr.. Garfield
provides that % per cent of the pro-
ceeds of the rental of these power sites
shall be turned over to the various
states for school and road purposes.
Senator Smoot suggested that 70 per
cent be given to the states for these
purposes and % per cent retained by
the government to pay the charges of
administration.

The Cause of Colds
Good Advice Regarding the
Prevention of Coughs and
Colds.

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority OF
cases of coughs, colds and pneumonia
might be avoided. These troubles are fire.
quently due to weakness, which produces
a catarrhal condition of the mucous mem
brane, which Is an internal skin of the
body. When this skin is weakened il
becomes easily infected with germs which
cause many of the diseases to which flesh
is heir. Healthy mucous membranes are
essential safeguards Of the bOdys general
health.
An excellent aid in the prevention OF
coughs, colds, pneumonia, and such like
infectious diseases, is a remedy that will
prevent or cure catarrh.
We have a remedy which we honestly
believe to be unsurpassed in excellence
for the prevention of coughs, colds an6
all catarrhal conditions. It is the prescrip-
ton of a famous physician, who has ar
enviable reputation of thirty years OF
cures gained through the use of this
formula We promise to make no charge
for the medicine should it fail to do as
we claim. We urge everybody who has
need of such a medicine 10 try ReXal
Mucu-TOne.
1t stands to reason that we could moi
afford to make such statements and give
our own personal guarantee to this rem
edy If we were not prepared to prove
the reasonableness Of our claim in every
particular, and we see no reason why any
one should hesitate to accept our ortel
and try It. We have two sizes of Rexal
Mucu-Tone, prices 80 cents and A.O0
Sometimes 5G-cent bottle is sufficient t.
give marked relief. AS a general thing

.
by granting the appropriation recon-
mended Mr.. Taft's attitude is voiced
in the following letter to the secretary
of the treasury:
Letter of Mr.. Taft.
1.-THE White House, Washington,
Feb. 16, 1910.
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary: On the
question as to the meaning of para
graph Of the corporation excise law
in section 80 of the tariff act of August
8, 1909, 1 have very little doubt. 1t
seems to me that it was intended by
Congress that the returns, original and
corrected, but not the documents and
evidence taken upon investigation,
should be open TO inspection as are
court records.
Il understand the difficulty that pre-
sents itself to you, tO-Wit: That Con-
gress, in the urgent appropriation bill
of August ,, 1909, appropriated 100000
! for the expenses of collecting the cor
poratiOn tax and that it was assumed
that this would enable you to use a
proper part of the sum for increasing
your clerical and other assistance need
ed to give the opportunity for the pub
lie inspection specifically provided in
the act. 1t will require at least $50, 0OU
turns Of more than 400, 600 corporations,
to house them in rooms convenient of
! access for the public and to provide
clerks for the care and custody of
them under such conditions.
Prohibited by Act of 1882.
at now turns out, however, that by
| section 4 of the act of August 5, 1892,
the secretary Of the treasury is ex-
pressly prohibited from using any part
of the appropriation of 100000 made
/ in the words Of the statute already
/ quoted for the betterment of persons
within the District of Columbia. In
other words, therefore, no appropria-
| ton exists with which to make the re-
turns of corporation a true record
available for publication in any differ
/ ent manner from that in which other
/ internal revenue records are public rec
ords
I'm my judgment, the failure to make
a specific appropriation for the purpose
| was an oversight, due to the SUPPOSE
ton that the 100000 might be applied
in part to the purpose under discussion
and that it was, as already said, the
| intention of Congress to make these rec
/ Ords different from the ordinary in
! ternal revenue records, and really sub
| ject to general public inspection.
! but with the situation as it is, moth
/ ing remains to be done except for you
/ to state the case to the House of Rep
resentatives, where appropriation bills
are properly introduced, and to suggest
that if the legislation which seems to
me to be the right one is to be car
ried into execution there must be an
/ appropriation of $4,000 for the specific
purpose; and with a further statement
/ that if no such appropriation is made,
/ the only course open to those who are
/ executing the law in the department
will be to treat the returns as other
! internal revenue records"
