The announcement by the National
commission Of the rules under which
the Chalmers 800, offered by Mr.. Hugh
Chalmers to the champion major league
batsman of 1910, will be awarded has
created a great deal of interest among
the big league sluggers who usually
stand well to the top of the averages.
The offer Of an automobile is a,wak-
ening lot more enthusiasm among
players and fans than any trophy
which could be offered" says Ty Cobb,
the champion batsman of 1910. II
would much rather win an automobile
of a Chalmers 800 is simply great, and
1 hope to be lucky enough to own 4
new Chalmers car next fall"
"a motor car for the leading batsman
has the usual medals and loving cups
beaten a mile. 1t is a very generous
offer on the part of Mr.. Chalmers
says Hans Wagner, champion batsman
of the National league. Ed Collins,
runner-up in the American league last
season, says:
1.-The offer of Chalmers go to the
champion batsman is q very liberal
one and should certainly receive the
hearty commentator and approval
Of every American league performer. I,

road regulations" Has he read
the railroad bill which has Just pass
ed both houses and become a law
How would he improve that lawI
This law compels the railroads to se-
cure the approval Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission before ad-
vancing rates. 1t authorizes the
commission to institute proceedings
without waiting for the complaint OF
shipper. 1t creates a special COM
merce court. 1t grants the commits
sion complete authority over classi-
fication and regulation Of roads. 1t
brings telegraph and telephone COM
panies under the power of the act.
The recent congress created a
special committee to investigate the
extent and character Of railroad
stocks and bonds and to report on
the feasibility of federal supervision
Of all railroad securities. Would
Mr.. Rees legislate before he gets the
report or act without this informa-
ton? Just what are the additional
regulations he would maker Let US
see them written out 80 that we can
Judge them. Referring to the settle
ment with the Union Pacific railroad,
the law for the settlement enabled
the government to collect every dol
lar coming to It and the government
collected every dollar Of It. What
better could be done7

Crouch against President Taft and

President Taft see it.

Mr.. Rees said that he was "for |
tariff for revenue with incidental
} protection" That was the tariff
plank in Grover Cleveland's plat
form and it is the platform of ChamI
Clark and the Democratic party In
congress. No Republican has evel
: stood on that platform before.
The Payne tariff is furnishing the
revenue. The imports keep on COM
ing in and paying the tariff. The
goods that pay q tariff came in to
the amount Of over $780, 900, 600
more in ten months Of this law than
in the same ten months of the Ding
ley law. If the tariff was too high
this would not occur. The tariff pro-
vides ample revenue.

Rees' Tariff Talks
Show His Ignorance

AS pitiful an exhibition of ignor
ance concerning SO important mat
ter as the tariff laws Of the Unitet
State as was ever made by a candi
date for congress is that of R. R
Rees in his long-drawn out evasion
Of some simple questions. He wal
asked If he endorses Presiden'
Taft's administration, the tariff law
as whole and the principles Of the
Republican party. 1t ought to b
easy for a Republican to answer
them promptly and decisively yes
II he expects Republican support. A
Democrat would of course say mo"
Rees hens and haws and refuses to
say either, but deals in such ramb-
ling statements as to show inevi-
tably that he intends If he gets to
congress to stay outside the Republi-
can majority and bushwhack with
the Democrats.
Besides that he shows his utter ig-
norance Of national law making and
Of the tariff laws operations. He
occupies the same ground that the
Democrats take for their position,
He does not know that he cannot
amend one schedule on the tariff
without opening it all for amendment
and revision on every item. He is for
tariff commission but he does not
know that congress cannot delegate
to a commission the power to make
tariff. And If he only means
committee to gather information ne
forgets that we have a tariff poaro
Of inquiry now at work, and have CIV
en- it $3.50, 600, to enable It to ascer-'
Tain the difference in cost OF pro-
duction at home and abroad.
Il seems Mr.. Rees never read that
the president said, 81 believe that
the work of tariff board should be
+o secure and present evidence, not
to frame a tariff. With this evidence
before it, congress will act fairly and
wisely and the United States will
have, under this method, tariff es-
tablished on thoroughly scientific
basis as it should have been a quar-
ter rlof century ago."
Mr., Rees seems to know now
that he would vote to reduce the tar
If further on products of iron and

does not need protection and II the
tariff is further reduced that corpo-

further reduced all the smaller steel
mills will be driven out Of business.
This might benefit Carnegie and

try?

if that will be better for the people
of the United States and let us sex
it.
Or let him get anybody who can tt
write a better wool schedule and
sign his name to 1t.
AS to the cotton schedule OF which
he complains Mr.. Rees can immortal
ize himself by writing better cot
ton schedule. II he thinks this one
lis wrong, he ought to write a good
one and sign it and let the country
pass on It. We raise more cotton than
any other country but we sell two
thirds Of the crop to other countries
and they manufacture 1t and sell 1t
back to us. We have a tariff to pro-
ftect our manufactures and the wages
Of our people employed in them. Our
tariff Is not high enough to prevent
large imports. Is there any reason
why we should reduce the tariff and
let more goods be manufactured
abroad to sell to usa
When the cotton SCHEDULE was
made for the Dingley bill the cotton
crop brought about $3OO,000,O00 81
year. After ten years Of the Dingley
bill the cotton crop was worth t600,-
100000 a year. Yet the price OF
calico and muslin did not go up In
our stores.
Hundreds of cotton mills have
been built in the south and thou
sands OF people have found work In
them and around the cotton mills
hundreds Of little farms have been
improved to raise food for them and
the South has increased her wealth
By $3.50, 900, ,O0O every year. What is
wrong about thisl
Answer, Mr.. Rees, would your
changes in the tariff increase the
number Of factories or the number Of
people who find work or wages. or
will Il better the prices for farm
produetsi state specifically Just how
you would change this tariff and ex-
actIy what the result would be. You
have the Payne tariff bill before you
and you have the evidence Of its
working in increasing the revenue
and maintaining the prices Of wages
and farm products. Write out your
tariff bin ana let the country zee It.
Let the new tariff board see Il. Let

cents a thousand the same week. H,
would take off the remaining $1.2l
so the Canadian mills can get tina
too.
| He would revise the wool sched
ule. The wool schedule is founded
on the rate on raw wool. The re
duction must begin there. We dc
not yet raise one-half the wool we
use. The wool grower went out Of
business when the Wilson bill was
enacted. Must he go out of busi-
ness again? And then must the for
eigner have a monopoly on the price
of wool we buy?
Mr.. Rees does not know that in
the woolen mills in Germany for the
same work for which German mill
hand receives $1.O0 per day, Ameri-
can mill hands reiceve $2.25 and
$3.50 per day. Furthermore the mill
people of Europe, have for the most
part, inherited and acquired GER
tain perfection in the respective
lines of work, having been employed
through several generations in the
same capacities. Whereas the Amer
lean manufacturer II, required to ed
ucate almost all Of his working peo-
pie. The cost of erecting a mill in
the United States is 80 per cent
higher than the same can be done for
in Europe. The money rates are,
much lower in Europe than in the
United States. Now leaving out Of
consideration the cost Of the wool,
what other elements enter into, the
cost Of production there and here?
The manufacturer pays from $2.25 to
$3.50 for wages for the same work
which is done for $1,OO in the Ger
man mill and the German mill hand
has inherited skill and capacity. He
pays SO per cent more to build ana
equip a mill In the United States
than 1t does in Europe and the rate
Of interest upon the money invested
in the business is higher here than 1t
is there. What else is there than
can measure the cost Of production
and what testimony can be clearer
or more direct as to- difference IN the
cost Of production?
Some English mills formerly sent
their wool to Belgium to be secured
and carbonized because of low wages.
Women were trucking bales, sorting
wool, feeding wool-scouring machines
and practically doing all the work
and they were paid one cent an hour,
,r 72 cents for 70 hours work. Does
Mr.. Rees propose to reduce the
wages in America to 72 cents for ~
hours work and where will the mar
ret Of the farmer of the Fifth dis
rict go when this is done?
This is a true statement and if
here is a line of evidence anywhere
o contradict it truthfully, produce
t.
Let Mr.. Rees write out a wool tar

that they were right in every conten-

ings from the start and the adminis-
tration's effort to bluff the matter
through, to scare the bondsmen and
to frighten the council by demand

1t no credit. Abilene has had enough

cast. Business men, seeing that
the city was to be led into trouble
with illegal government enjoined
the council from canyassing the vote.
Judge King had severe case Of
cold feet and refused to consider tho
case. 1t was appealed to the SUI
preme court. Mayor Rice sued
three Of the numerous bondsmen,
j, B. Case. J. q. Brewer and g. M.
Harger for SITS for attorneys fees
and loss Of time because he had to
fight the injunction in his effort to
get the Job of commissioner.
Then Rice and Kump brought the

the supreme court decides that the
whole proceeding was illegal.ln effect
upholding the injunction and settling
all the controversy.
In this action Councilmen Coul-
son, COwan, Gleissner, Pleiser, Hees,
Tiff, Robson (all except McCurdy,
who stood by the mayor) were sued
for $500 damages.
The Reflector was abused for
weeks by the Chronicle and the ad-
because It insisted that
the city would get into trouble IL 1t
proceeded under an illegal govern
ment. The supreme court has up-
held every position taken by the Re-
