RECIPROCITY BENEFICIAL,
PRESIDENT TELLS FARMERS
Bad Cold Bohers Chief Executive in Expoundne Its Virtues
to Columbus, Ohio Crowd-Eas Hard Day Ahead

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 1O.-President
Taft opened his campaign for reciprocity
with Canada in speech to 5000 people
here to-day. The President devoted his
attention to explaining by statistics and
other arguments that reciprocity with
Canada does not mean injury to the
American farmer; rather does it mean
henents not now enjoyed. The President
spoke under difficulty. He suffered no.
ticeably from severe cold and the con-
sequent sore throat, and at times strug-
gled hard to make himself heard through
the auditorium on the State fair grounds,
where he spoke.
The Presidents physician, DR.. J. ].
Richardson. who accompanied him from
Washington, ordered most of the pro-
gramme planned for Mr.. Taft's stay here
cut down to such a degree that he would
be but little exposed and would be taxed
by speaking in public only once. The
President was permitted to make few
perfunctory remarks at the banquet
gwen in his honor at the Oxley Hall,
Ohio State University, tonight. but an
automobile ride through Columbus and
other sightseeing expeditions planned by
the local reception committee were elm
tnated-

that is Overruled vote will be de-
manded also, there viii he motions to
strike out the entire section of the bill
Hundreds of kilograms were received
yesterday by the Senators from all parts
of the country, stating that this increase
in postal rates, which. roughly. amounts
to IL cents or more, would mean ruin
for almost every magazine and periodical
publisher. For example, it was stated
that one publishing COmpanys postage
bill would be increased from $4,000 year
TO $l.2OO.0OO a year, which increase is far
in excess of any yearly dividends or
earnings of that company. The new
rating would increase the postage bill or
another magazine $4,000, when $4,000 is
a big yearly profit for that magazine
These kilograms showed similar condi-
tions throughout the business. The in
Creases arc held to he COnfscatory by the
publishers who are here and who have
been telegraphing to the Senate.
The fact that the increase was made
without notification to the publishers and
that they were given no chance for
hearing is also a basis of opposition.

Mr.. Taft has a hard day before him
tomorrow il he is allowed to follow the
schedule, and the rest tonight was
thought necessary. The President spoke
to-day to the National Corn Exposition,
and naturally he devoted part of his time
TO dispelling any doubts of the i'll effects
the reciprocity agreement might have on
the farmers who raise corn.
The Presidents speech was applauded
at times vigorously. His audience lis
tened intently, but it was noticed that
the crowd did not seem exactly to grasp
the meaning of the figures that Mr..
Taft flung at it to show that reciprocity
meant benefit, not loss, TO this nation
and its farmers.
The President went from the audito-
rum to the executive mansion, where
ne chatted for a short time with Gov.
and Mrs. Harmon, and from there he
was taken back to his private car, Fed

enlivening debate on the merits Of the resolution

Senator Root, Of New IorS, opened the debate

PLAN TO BETTER
EMPLOYEES STATUS
Electric Light Companies in
Conference Here.

! To consider and formulate A cOmpre-
| hensive plan for the betterment of their
! employees. representatives of the leading
| electric light companies of the country
began a series of conferences in this
city yesterday. These representatives a
committee of fourteen. of the National
Electric Light Association. were author
| lied by the last convention to draw up
! plan providing for life insurance, sick
ness insurance. accident insurance. pen
slons, protit-sharing, &c, to be submitted
to the next convention, in July
The committee which is comforting here
represents 800 electric lighting companies,
with a combined capitalization of 81 100. =
100000. and the plan to he adopted will
affect something like 100000 employees
Charles l. Edgar, chairman OF the
committee, and president of the Boston
Edison Company, stated last night that
the conference had developed that the
feeling was unanimous among officials
Iof electric light companies that the time
had arrived when something should be
done for the large number of local en-
plOyes, and that these employees should
particularly receive additional CompenSa-
ton in tn" way of prOtit-Sharing, and
that provision should be made for COM
penSating and otherwise taking care of
have been submitted, which met with the
approval Of the committee of fourteen,
and it is probable a subcommittee will
be appointed to put the plan into shape.
Many of the companies throughout the
country provide accident insurance for
their employees and have some kind of
proft-sharing system. but it is the
present aim to establish a new system
to extend to all the Edison electric light
ing companies in the United States.
which will provide for profit-sharing, ac-
Cident and life insurance, sickness in
surance, pensions, &C, and to cover
every one employed by the companies.
The plan tentatively agreed upon, which
will not be made public for some time,
is patterned in some respects after the
system in force in some OF the largest
corporations in the country. such as the
Pennsylvania Railroad. the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad, the Pull
man Company, and others.

SENATE DEMOCRATS
CAUCUS FRUITLESS
House Ways and Means Com,
mittee Also at Sea.

The Democrats of the Senate at a
conference yesterday discussed the Ca
madam reciprocity. the bill to create
a permanent tariff board. and the cleo
ton of Senators by the direct vote of
the people. but reached no decision as to
legislative programme. 1t is probable
that there will be another conference
Tuesday morning when action is expected
with reference to the Canadian reciprocity
treaty.
Some of the Democratic Senators are
very much disgusted with the idea of
holding conferences, which they declare
pointleSS meetings that bring about no
results. Senator Stone. of Missouri,
went on record before his Democratic
brethren yesterday against the con-
ference system. which he said is pro-
ductive of much talk and no action.
Mr.. Stone gave an intimation that
the conference" plan exists for hand
full of Senators with high protection
tendencies to vote as they please and
embarrass the party.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means came to no conclusion yesterday
on the pending reciprocity bill. but post
poned a vote until the meeting this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock. The committee found
difficulty in constituting the provision as
to print paper and wood pulp.
The committee is confringed by two
alternatives in framing this clause, to
conform to the intent of the treaty.
Either alternative. in the circumstances,
would meet the spirit of the agreement
of the negotiators, but the effect upon
trade and industry might widely differ.
The alternatives are: To provide that
wood pulp and print paper may come
into the United States free of duty at
once from private lands in Canada, but
American-made paper, going into Can
ada, to be subject to the Canadian duty;
or. not to admit free of duty any Cana

and laborers at such rates of pay for

affairs, and they shall enjoy the same
security and protection as natives of the
