From Sundays Daily)


 Covering l72 miles in an automobile over one of the toughest mountain and plateau roads in the entire south west in the remarkable time of twelve hours, J. J. Reddick, T. Devine, M. G. Wagner and H. Haskins arrived here last evening from Kingman on their way to Phoenix where they will en- joy the coming week at the last terri torial fair. They will leave for the capital city this morning. Mir. Has kins acted as chauffeur all the way from Kingman although his compan- ions are experienced drivers. They are all ardent advocates of the good roads movement and favor the con struction of an inter-county road be tween this city and the Mohave met ropolis.
 NIT. Reddick is the nominee of the republican party of his county for road superintendent while Mir. Devine is the democratic candidate for treas urer. Wagner and Haskins have failed to make public their political ambitions this year, preferring to wait until the territory is admitted to statehood. They report their eOun- ty enjoying prosperity and the Gold Road, Tom Reed and other mines pouring out steady streams of bull lion.

GREAT AGR|CULT TURAL
 EXPOSITION |S OPENED

NEW YORK, Nov. f. The fair Diana from her lofty position on the pinnacles of the Madison Square Gar den tower never looked down upon a more interesting or more important exhibition that that which opened in the big amphitheater today under the official title of the American Land and Irrigation Exposition. The ex- hibitiOn will continue ten days. Its object is twO-fOld-tO stimulate inter- est in farming and improvement of the land and to show the great re- wards which can be gained from scientific agriculture.
 The show is the outcome of com bined efforts by the United States government, the railroads of the coun- try and various financial and agri- cultural interests. One of the reasons for holding the exposition in New York city is to give the 7,OO0,OOO people living Tn thls vicinity an idea of the vast resources of the country and of the tremendous practical ad- vances which have been made in re- cent years.
 The exhibits include specimens of soil and products, maps and relief models of areas which it is desired to exploit, illustrations of agriculture in all its branches, including dry farm ing and irrigation methods. To fur ther demonstrate the possibilities of American soils the management has provided moving pictures and illus trated lectures. The display is not confined to any one section of the country. While the South, the middle states and far West are most largely represented, there are also exhibits

HEARST E BITTERLY
 OPPOSED TO MURPHY

a position where its ninety delegates, thrown to one side or the other, will decide who shall be the nominee.
 William R. Hearst evidently sizes up the situation in about the same way as does MT. Murphy. He has therefore taken time by the fOrelock with the intention of first defeating Murphy and then becoming a candi- date for the democratic presidential nomination. Fusion against Tammany is the plan adopted to bring about Murphy's defeat. The fusion move ment is supported by representatives of the republican party, the Inde- pendenee League, the Citizens Union, and other so-called independent or ganizations The Fusionists have nom- mated complete anti-Tammany ticket. which has the indOrsement of many of the sO-ealled good govern ment organizations.
 Tammany is making its strongest fight for the office of Sheriff, with Julius Hamburger, a well known poll tician, as the organization candidate. Opposing MT. Hamburger, on the Fus- ion slate is John J. Hooper, who ran for governor on the Independence League ticket a year ago.
 
 Tammany is fortunate this year in having no internal strife. There were few disagreements at the primaries, but none of the old leaders was re- tired, and the organization is in as fine a fighting trim as it has been in years.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA sheriff, four judges of the State Supreme court and members of the general assembly are to the elected in New York county next Tuesday. The live ly character of the campaign that closed today, combined with an unus- ually heavy registration, indicates an extraordinary amount of interest for an off-year election.
 The principal reasons why the pub lie and the politicians regard the campaign as of more than the usual off-year importance are to be found in the intensified bitterness of the old fight against Tammany under the rule of "Boss" Murphy and the pro- fessed return to the democratic fold of William R. Hearst, who has de- clared war against Murphy.
 The charge that Murphy is striving at this time to nationalize his con trol of politics has given the fight more than a statewide interest. Mur- phy now dominates the Empire State situation, from the governOrship down. It is generally understood that Lead CT Murphy intends to be a power in the next democratic national conven- tion He realizes that a substantial victory this fall will go far towards enabling him to control the New York delegation to the national con- vention, and incidentally the nomina- tion of a president, for it is general ly believed that New York will be in

AUTHORITIES ATTACK
 STEEL CORPORATION

CBy United States Press AssOeiatiOn)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. ?. - The welfare of the nation has been secondary matter on concern in the nation capital this week. Item number one in the public mind has been the great national game of base ball, and now that the Athletics have won the pennant, statesmen and jour nalists can again find time perhaps to pursue subjects like the tariff, universal peace, progressiveism, etc.
 America s greatest trust, the Unit ed States Steel corporation, has been attacked by the government, and like the other big offenders will have to obey the provisions of the sherman antitrust law. The biggest fish that ever got together in a single net are in the mesh this time, including An drew Carnegie, J. PierpOnt Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Charles NJ. Schwab, and a dozen other finaneiers. The recent decisions of the Supreme court in regard to trusts greatly alarmed the heads of the Steel cor poration, and it is the general opinion that a speedy adjustment of the present litigation and reorganization will be effected. The great Morgan has skillfully arranged a graceful re- treat for himself and his associates.
 The United States government is one of the greatest employers of labor in the world, and it has been ascer- tained that more than a half million people, or to be more exact 513,s5 draw regular pay from Uncle Sam. In addition to this number are 64,000 clerks not included, who are paid personally by fOurth-elass pOst-mast- CTS. The number of federal employees protected by the civil service is 222, PTS.
 There are two full grown Organiza- tions of progressive republicans in Washington, each doing a flourishing business. Senator Bourne is at the head of what is known as the national progressive republican league, and headquarters are maintained from which literature is being sent out. However the more active institution is that devoted to promoting the candi- daey of Senator LaFollette, where very large office force is employed in promoting movement throughout the country estimated in Washington as costing three thousand dollars a week. The puzzle is: Where is the money coming from?
 Chairman Underwood of the Ways and Means committee. is still busy the vetoes of President | Taft. and in a single breath declared ! that Schedule K is indefensible, and | that the wool bill of which he is the | author, was the panaeea for most | national ills. It is strange what a | difference of opinion exists over some of these matters, and President Taft | cannot see a thing in the same light as Mir. Underwood. The president de- clares that the tariff board is going to be able to present real scientific tariff data, and he is asserting in his speeches throughout the country that with this aid congress can make the

IOWA MUST CEASE STALKING.

Decision.

Des Moines, Feb. 24.-Iowa will be
valley conference and the Chicago con-
ference at the next meet Of the M. v.
members to be held here at the time
of the annual track and field meet.
1t will not be in the form of a di-
rect request to the Hawkeyes to make
a choice but will be brought about by
a resolution which will be passed at
the next meeting requiring all mem
bers Of the Missouri organization to
play a certain number of games ex-
clusively in the conference in both foot
ball and basketball.
With this requirement to live up to
in the Missouri valley similar to the
one in the Chicago conference, Iowa
will be forced to make a choice as it
will be impossible to live up to the
requirements of both organizations.
With this condition facing them, it
is probable that Iowa will make a
choice before the Missouri valley meet
ing this spring.
Wisconsin seems to have made it
possible for Iowa to get out Of the
tangle with Drake and Ames. by can
ceiling their dates with Be1oit and
Lake Forest which will make it pos
sible to shift the Iowa date earlier
in the season and leave the Hawkeye
November 4 date open.
AS Ames has Nebraska scheduled
for November 4, they would retain the
November Is date and Drake would
meet the Hawkeyes on November 4,
which is agreeable to the Drake auth
critics.

EARNINGS NOT LARGE.
Smallest of All Corporations Do
ing Business in Country.

to Prove Contention.
EARNINGS NOT LARGE.

when the average statesman talks
about regulating the corporations he
has in mind the railroads" said a con-
ductor employed by the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railway company
yesterday. 81 know great many poll
ticians personally, and they talk freely
to me. 1 finally got tired of their ar
gument about the 'bloated railroad
magnates,' so commenced to read up.
It didn't take long to find out that a
railroad is at the bottom of the list
so far as earning capacity is concern
ed. Now when my political friends go
after the railroads, I produce the fig
ures.
Il found from the interstate COM
merce commission reports" the conduc-
tor continued, that the Santa FEES av-
erage earnings for the last 1412 years
have been 4.75 per cent; that the COM
pany paid during that time an average
Of 3.75 per cent. The maximum earn
ed for any one year was 6.53 per cent.
When a man talks me about rail-
road earnings always show him these
reports, and ask him how the earnings
of the Santa Fe compare with those
of his business. My inquiries in this
direction led me to believe that the
man who does not earn from to 70
per cent on his investment feels that
he is not getting along well.
ct also have a compilation made by
a financial paper showing the earnings
of all the big corporations of the coun-
try. For instance. the National Bis
cult company earns 1909 per cent; the
Underwood Typewriter company, 1888
per cent; the United Steel company
1878 per cent; the International Har-
vester company, 1859 per cent; the
American Sugar Refining company,
1871 per cent; the American Cotton Oil
company, 1881 per cent; the American
Radiator company, 25.05 per cent; the
First National bank of Kansas City,
20 per cent. When I compared these
earnings with the AIS per cent earned
by the Santa Fe, and learned that
there is no movement to hammer the
income Of the concerns named, 1 made
up my minN that there is something
radically wrong with the agitation
against the railroads.

Railroads Have Ticket Dealers Pref

Progress in the fight by the rail-

Dictated in a report just given out by
the Railway Ticket Protective bureau,
which states that since November,
1909, announcement by federal and
state courts of comprehensive and de-
cisive decisions in proceedings brought
by the bureau have enabled suppress
sion of railway ticket scalping
through injunctional and criminal
fore infected. Many cities have been
permanently cleaned of scalpers.
Regarding the situation in Chicago
the report says: six offices were OPP
Grated during the summer, four of
which were obscurely located in base
ments and conducted in conjunction
with other business. Early in the
season three were compelled to close,
due to constant supervision and in
PREVENTION of the bureau, as opportun-
ity presented. Two of the three re-
naming were prosecuted under the
interstate commerce act for dealing
in railway passes, found guilty, and
each fined $50; against the other, who
is a leader of this remnant of the
fraternity, a conviction for contempt
of injunctional DEGREES resulted, judg-
ment being suspended by the court on
condition that the offender forever
retire from the scalping business. Two
other arrangements for contempt, in
VolVing two of the trio are awaiting
hearing. Tickets purchased from Chi
cago shops disclosed that open forms
not covered by injunctionaI DEGREES
were being dealt in; at the instance of
the bureau, nontransferable signature
forms were substituted. Systematic
tests of these shops disclosed evidence
of thefts of interline tickets of skele-
