If, as was asserted in Judge
Sanborn's decision, the two cent
rate is "confscatory," why do
the roads sell 1000 mile mileage
books for forty dollars? That's
a two cent rate. Do they do it
to "confscate" their earnings,
or to put themselves in a hole?"

that huge fortune in the way that will
do the most good. She is so years

RECIPROCITY BILL
PASSES SENATE
TRADE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
UNITED STATES AND CANADA
HAS BEEN APPROVED.
The Vote Was So to 81. Only Three
Democrats Voting Against the
Measure Which Has Occupied At
tention of Two Sessions of
Congress.

Washington.-By a vote or 53 to 81
the senate on Saturday approved the
reciprocal trade agreement between
the United States and Canada, EN-
bodied in the reciprocity bill that had
proved a storm center in two sessions
of congress.
A majority of the Republicans voted
against the measure. Gf f~fty-three
votes for it thirty-two were Demo
cratic and twenty-one Republican,; OF
the twenty-seven against, twenty-four
were Republican and three Demo-
cratic.
This action settled the whole Cana
dian reciprocity question so far as
congress is concerned. and save for
executive approval and the Canadian
parliament's ratification, virtually
made the pact the law of the land.
The reciprocity bill, having origi-
mated in the house, must be returned
there for engrossment and for the sig
nature of Speaker Clark, while the
house is sitting.
The Canadian parliament has not
, - n~sSh vi bhC dS lCCulCAI anu with
one exception the provisions Of the
bill as passed by congress will not be-
come effective until the president is
sues a proclamation that Canada has
ratified the pact. The exception to
this procedure is in the paper and
pulp section Of the bin, which it is an
nounced will become Immediately eff
~fective when the president signs the
law.
From the White House President
Taft followed the votes on the amend
ments and on the final passage of the
bill with the keenest interest.
Il am very much gratihed and de-
lighted that the bill is passed." he
said. at indicates the increase of
mutually beneficial relations between
Canada and this country"
The president received many con
gratulations before departing for
Beverly to spend the weekend. In re
ply to these he declared he was get.
ting entirely too much credit out of
the matter and that Secretary Knox
really was entitled to the greatest
praise.

WAR CLOUDS GATHERING.
Dispute Concerning Morocco is Caus
ing Grave Concern.

SPSeS concerning NoTOCCO Is CduS-
ing Grave Concern.
Berlin.-The Franco-German situa.
ton as regards Morocco is causing
grave concern. War is openly advo-
Gated by the radical German press.
e the most pacific organs resent
the speech of David Lloyd-George, in
support of France, and advise an az.
gressive policy to uphold Germany's
position.
France and England are standing
firmly together, but this fact does not
deter German sentiment.
The Frankfurter Zeitung, the voice
of the commercial Germany, insists
that the fatherland shall no abandon
Its rights in Morocco. The Pan-Ger.
man press speaks openly In favor OF
war.
Two German ~battleships are in Mo,
roecan waters, ready to strike.
There is little nope of the situation
being relieved. France is determined
not to yield and Germany is equally
determined to stand on her rights. II
the impasse Is tided over 1t will be
through an unparalleled diplomatic
feat.

SALT LAKE WINS
IN RATE CASE
UTAH SAVES MILLION AND QUAR-.
TER ANNUALLY AS RESULT
OF RULING.
Commission Recognizes Right Of Rail.
roads to Meet Water Competition
to Pacific Coast Points, But
Wipes Out Back Haul Rates.

Washington.-In what are known as
the Spokane-Reno-Pae coast cases,
the interstate commerce commission
on Monday ordered material reduc-
lions in freight rates from the east
to points between Denver and the
western terminals of the transconti.
mental railroads.
The decision is regarded as a great
victory for Utah. The effect or the
decision will be to considerably ex-
tend the scope of Salt Lake 1obbers.
n II the consumer gets the bene-
Mt should also mean a lowering of
prices on many commodities. 1t will
mean a saving of at least a million
and a quarter a ear to the people OF
the fnter-Rocky Mountain country. For
many years the railroads haxe exacted
shippers to intermediate points,
such as Spokane and Reno, higher
rates on eastern freights than were
charged for the much longer hauls to
Seattle, San Francisco and other Pa
cifc coast points.
The theory has been the railroads
must meet water competition to the
Pacific coast. The higher rates TO
intermediate points, arbitrarily fixed,
nave been defended by a comparison
with the coast rates, plus a theo-
retica1 back-haul from the coast to
the inland stations along the line.
The commission ecogniz the
rights of a railroad to meet water COM
petition to Pacific coast points, but
practically wipes out the back-haul
rates to i~nter-Rocky mountain terri
tory. 1t lays down what it considers
would be fair and just rates to va
rious freight zones in the west and
gives the railroads until October 10
to adjust their tariffs accordingly.
