electric railways operating ninety
thousand cars carrying ten billion
passengers annually: and employing
two hundred and fifty thousand men.
The gross earnings of these railways
are I'VE hundred million dollars; the
annual operating expenses three hum
dred millions. The capital invested is
1--WE billion dollars. The companies
operate street railways, elevated rail-
ways, underground railways, under
water railways, interurban railways.
and partly electrified steam railways,

power to aid the Morgan.Guggenheim
interests in wrongfully acquiring con
troll Of the Alaskan coal fields. The
subsequent history of the Alaskan coal
lands scandal simply confirms the bad
faith and betrayal of public interest
which the earlier testimony so clearly
established.
Heir to the Roosevelt policies, as a
presidential candidate, Mr.. Taft was a
pronounced progressive and the leading
and most enthusiastic Roosevelt cham
pion from the first to the last of the
campaign. Three months after he was
inaugurated he seemed to have forgot
ton that there ever had been any well
known Roosevelt policies. He had no
sooner taken his oath of office than he
sacrificed the progressive cause for the
support of Aldrich and Cannon and
their reactionary program.
Declares Basis False.
Reciprocity is a popular catchword.
The president seized upon it. He made
an executive compact the basis, not of
a reciprocity treaty, but of tariff bill.
Upon this false basis he seeks to force
it through congress without amendment
or change. AS treaty it should have

"In letter and spirit, this agreement
violates every principle and every
promise of the Republican platform. ex-
pressed or implied. and every printed
