GOV. Stubs OUTLINES
PLAN OF CONFERENCE
Says the Public Only Demands
a Fair Valuation of the Rail-
roads of the Country


TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 22.-Gov. w. r.
Stubbs, of Kansas, outlined the purposes
of the interstate rate conference In
speech at the opening session of the
conference here today.
The governor said the railroads had
combined to advance freight rates on
scale never before known.
He said the railroads, of their own
initiatives, had opened up the whole
question of ascertaining the physical
valuation of their property by testimony
of their officials before the interstate
commerce commission.
Governor Stubbs also deplored the ten
dency of railroads to favor large cities
in the adjustment of freight rates.
In outlining the purposes of the con-
ference he said
This conference was called to discuss
ways and means to protect the interest
of the producer, consumer, shipper and
the public generally in the middle west
from the advance in freight rates in
volved in the most important case that
has ever been heard by the interstate
commerce commission.
THE public demands nothing short Of
a bona fide valuation of all railroad
property and public officials, who repre-
sent the consumer. producer, shipper and
geenral public will be negligent If they
portunity to go to bedrock and assist
the interstate commerce commission in
making a searching and exhaustive ex-
animation, so as to determine the actual
value of all the railroads of the United
States.
Congress should Immediately enact a
law providing for the physical valua-
ton of railroads by the interstate COM
merce commission and this should be
done before any general advance in rates
is permitted There is no more reason
why badly managed, badly constructed,
poorly located and Over-capitalized rail-
roads should prosper than a badly man.
aged business of any kind should be
successful, and neither the people nor
the government has any more RESPONSE
bility to this class Of railroads than
they have to tll-advised business opera
lions Of any kind.
1.-THE general policies Of railroads
through the United States to favor large
centers and build up great cities at
the expense of the rural communities is
little less than crime against civiliza-

SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS
TO CUT OCTOBER PRODUCT
CurtaiIment Will Be Equally
as Severe as in Summer
Months

CHARLESTON. s. c. Sept. 23.-From
present indications, October will witness
curtailment among southern cotton mills
equally as severe as that which has
been carried on since July l.
7. W. Crews, of Charlotte, secretary
of the Southern Hard Yarn Spinners' as
ISOLATION, stated today that in his opin-
ion curtailment of at least 80 per cent
would be carried on into October, and
later. unless conditions improve mate
rally. He estimates that hard yarn
mills of the south have curtailed at
least 80 per cent since July l.
He said further that the situation in
the yarn markets this week and last
week was not as good as that obtaining
before. There must be decided improve
ment. he thinks. before mills can afford
to run anything like full time.
r. NJ Miller. Jr., ex-president of the
American Cotton Manufacturers asso-
citation, and present president of the
North Carolina Cotton Manufacturers
association, also expressed the opinion
today that cotton mills of North Caro-
lima would continue the curtailment poll
cy on into October. He expressed the
opinion that North Carolina would cur
tail equally as much as South Carolina
manufacturers during the month of Oc-
tober. He stated that so far no resolu-
tions had been adopted, or meeting called
to agree upon any policy to be pursued
during October, but in his opinion mills
will continue the present drastic short
time policies.
1t is likely that this curtailment viii
take form similar to that decided upon
in South Carolina, by total shutdown
for at least one week.
The South Carolina Cotton Manufac-
turers' association, representing 100000
spindles. has just decided upon a one
week shutdown during the month of
October. At the meeting, just held, over
100000 spindles were represented and
manufacturers present signified their in
tention OF following this course.

nized in the minutest detail from the
very beginning by the Mexican govern

of congress and of the people has been
lavish in the extreme. Mexico has done
wisely in making her centenary no mere
extravaganza Of temporary displays, but
an occasion for the foundation of schools,
of a great university and some of the
most superb public buildings in the
world
Under Porfirio Diaz, Mexico has
shown herself not merely lavish and
generous, but a strong and dignified ma
ton to be loved as a host and honored
as a neighbor'
The costly and beautiful gift of the
Chinese colony in the republic to the

made complete today by the delivery at

ment arrived yesterday.
