BIG RECIPROCITY FIGHT
Is BEGUN IN CANADA
Prime Minister Asks Endorsement OF
People for Pact With United
States at Next Election.

Ottawa, Ont.--Following the disso
luton of parliament Sir Wilfrid
Laurier the premier and Liberal
leader. and r. l.. Borden, the leader
of the opposition, have issued state
ments which open up the biggest po
litical fight In Canadas history. The
Endorsement or rejection of reciproc
ity is asked for at the election set
for September Il next.
The question at issue is not a new
one, Sir Wifrid asserts, reciprocal re-
lations with the United States having
been sought by both parties for over
half a century. The present Conserv'
alive party, he declared, Is seeking to
reverse this lifelong policy of It's
leaders of the past
The enactment of the agreement.
the premier predicts, would improve
the friendly relations existing be-
tween Great Britain, Canada and the
United States, and would be an i'm
portant factor in bringing about a
general treaty of arbitration.
After referring to the history OF
various attempts by all political par
ties in Canada to get reciprocity, Sir
Wilfrid continues:
The present agreement between
the United States and Canada was
fought in the United States, but the
view that it was mutually advanta-
geous to both countries finally pre-
vailed in congress, and the agreement
stands today as an offer by the Unit
ed States to Canada Of that very
measure Of reciprocity which for
more than forty years has engaged
the earnest and constant efforts or
every leading Canadian statesman"
The address declares there Is no
warrant for the claim that reciprocity
will lead to annexation, and states
Canada will continue the policy OF
British preference.
r. l.. Borden in his statement says:
THE Conservative party welcomes
an appeal upon reciprocity. The pres
ident Of the United States has more
than once emphasized the fact that
Canada is today at the parting of the
ways. These two ways lead In d.
vergent directions. The choice of the
people will be fought with momentous
consequences to the future destiny OF
the country. 1t Is right and just that
they should speak because with them
rests the ultimate decision"

OIL TRUST COMPLIES
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF
STANDARD ANNOUNCED.
Stock Of Subsidiary Companies wiz
Be Distributed Pro Rata to
Holders OF Record.

New York, Aug. III. c. Folger,
secretary of the Standard Oil com
pany, announced in a formal statement
to stockholders the plan OF distribu-
ton Of the stock of the subsidiary
companies to comply with the rule OF
reason" laid down to the trust recent
ly by the Supreme court Of the United
States.
The stock of the subsidiary com
panies will be distributed pro rata
among the stockholders of record with
the parent corporation on September l
last. The company expects to have the
stock ready for distribution by Decem-
Der l. The plan of reorganization, as
announced, is simple and contemplates
the restoration of the original COM
panies of which the giant combine is
composed.
The Supreme court Of the United
States adjudged the Standard Oil COM
bine in restrain of trade and viola
tor of the Sherman antitrust law in
decision handed down on May 10 last.
The corporation was ordered to dis
solve and was given six months to
conform to the courts decree. Since
that time there has been much specu-
lation concerning the method the cor
poration would take to comply with
the judicial mandate.
The outstanding stock of the Stand
ard Oil company is said to be in the
hands of 5000 stockholders. Many OF
them have small lots of from one
share to one hundred shares. These
small shareholders will receive frac-
tional shares of each of the subsidiary
companies.
The operating expenses of the sepa-
rate companies. it is minated, Will be
much larger than the expenses OF the
Standard Oil company, but the results
to trade are still matter of specula-
ton.

NEW WOOL BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Democrats and insurgents Unite
on Amended Measure.
1AFT'S VETO IS EXPECTED
Duty on Raw Material Is Reduced to
35 Per Cent. ad Valorem and
Manufactured Products
Proportionately.

Washington. - The senate Of the
United States arose out of what
appeared to be a chaotic condition
and through a sudden coalition OF
Democrats and insurgent Republicans
bowled over the regular organization
and passed a compromise bill for the
revision of the wooden tariff. The bill
will reduce the duty on raw wool to
35 per cent. ad valorem and makes
corresponding reductions on wooden
manufactures.
The result came about after Sena-
tor La Follette's original substitute
bill, carrying duty on raw wool OF
40 per cent, and the wool bill passed
by the house of representatives, car
rying an ad valorem on raw wool OF
20 per cent, both had been defeated.
The vote on the new measure was
As to %.
The house wool bill was defeated
in the senate by a vote OF "A tc 30.
Senator Brown of Nebraska was the
only Republican voting with the
Democrats for the bill. The La Fol.
lette amendment 10 the revision meas
ure was defeated, &C to IA.
A motion by La Toilette to recon
slider the vote by which the house
bill was defeated, so as to throw open
again the entire question OF revising
the wool schedule, was adopted by a
vote of 40 to 81.
The outcome showed well-devised
and executed compromise plan be-
tween Democrats and Republican
progressives, which swept the stand
pat" Republicans from their feet. AL
though the situation presented by the
in the nature of surprise for the
regular Republicans, they were as
sorting after the vote that the senate
would have to compromise further
with the house of representatives be-
fore actual wool revision could be had
at this session.
1t is pointed out that the house
bill, passed only after difficult ma
neuvering with the Democrats de-
handing free wool, carries duty Of
only 20 per cent. on raw wool product
The La Toilette bill carries 35 per
cent. as against the original La Fol-
lette bill provision Of 40 per cent
The duty on raw wool under the ex-
listing Payne law Is in excess OF 40
per cent.
Regular Republicans expect. II real
legislation Is to be had, to see the
house demand a compromise with the
senate which will further reduce the
duty to at least 30 per cent. ad
valorem Among the regulars there
is a serene confidence, however, that
President Taft will veto any wool
bill passed at this session.
Chairman Underwood OF the ways
and means committee, and Democrat
ic leader. said:
THE house will not accept the
wool revision bill as T. has passed
the senate. Personally | believe the
duties carried in it excessively high.
Il want to see a bill passed reduc-
ing the wool duties, and ! want to
see such bill sent to the president
! would prefer that the house bill be
sent, but il this is not possible then
any bill making material reductions
in duties should be passed"

Salem was given hurry orders to pro

The policy in sending swift cruisers

that these vessels may be needed as
