If he was ever elected governor he
would look through the prisons and
find every man with spark of man

Discussed Political Issues

Discussed Political Issues
Saturday afternoon, as per announce
ment, Woodbridge n. Ferris, Demo
crat nominee for governor was in oul
city and gave short address TO the
voters of Bedding. The meeting was
advertised as an open air meeting but
on account of the heavy rain ii was
held in the Elite theatre which was
well filled by people of every political
belief from the Bull Moose up. The
band was out and enlivened the &C.
casion.
The meeting was called TO order by
|. l.. Hubbell who after few remarks
introduced Henry J. Leonard as chair
man Of the meeting. Mr.. Leonard
made nice characteristic talk and
eulogized Mr.. Ferris very highly calling
him an honest man, the noblest work
OF God. He ought TO have been COVER
nor eight years ago, but he had TO con-
tend with Roosevelt and Taft and their
progeny trusts.
Mr.. Ferris said he vas born with a
certain temperament which had always
adhered TO him and he was not sorry.
He was democrat today Of the same
: kind that he had been for the past 30
years. He was proud TO be democrat
and he was not sacreligious when he
said he believed that the victim of
Calvary was y Democrat, for he did
more economical work for mankind
than many others.
Monopoly is not new. thing. 1t is
born of selfish interests and is not a
creation of the 10th century. Itexisted
in the days when the Great Teacher
lived the same as it exists today.
Mr.. Ferris urged upon his listeners TO
vote the county ticket, TO vote for the
state senator and the state represent
alive. Bricker is good man and if !
am elected want just such men as
him TO work with him. | am moi
certain of being elected. 1t was the
farmers that beat him before, because
they were scared by the bugbear Of the
tariff.
He paid a compliment to Congress-
man Sweet and urged all TO stand by
him. He thought that God Almighty
gave this earth and all of its riches to
the people and not TO a special few. All
wealth is a result of labor and one per
cent of the population own over half Of
the wealth of this country. He declar-
ed the civil war was waged for dollars
and cents.
He claimed that there was no relation
between the tariff and the full dinner
pail and spoke of the trouble at Law.

Consumption Remedy

During the last year there has been
introduced into the United states
remedy for Consumption, which comes
TO us with Il most remarkable list or
endorsements from the Leading Special
lists of Europe. -
II has been used for several years on
the other side, and case after case has
yielded to IT. .,,,, ,
This preparation is called Sirolln. and,
Judging from the condition of some OF
the patients whom 1t has saved, no
consumptive need fear that he is too
far gone to be benefited by 1t.
Sirolin builds up the body by increaS-
ing the appetite and assisting the di-

TRUST OWNERSHIP

BY STEEL WITNESS
Stanley Committee Told
How Corporation Domi-
mates Trade,

The evils OF railroad ownership by
great Industrial corporations will form
the basis for one of the most important
parts of tie report of the Stanley steel
Committee Of tho House, it was deter
mined today, following the testimony
of Vice President Joseph wood. OF the
Pennsylvania railroad.
Wood told the committee that the
domination OF the steel business bv the
steel trust had forced the Pennsylvania
TO buy the Pennsylvania ana Cambria
steel plants, in order to protect itself
against eXtortlonate rriCes demanded
for steel products. He said that the
Duluth and Iron Rarge. gave the Steel
trust an opportunity to increase rates
to such IN extent ihat its competitors
were forced to pay all OF the running
expenses nf the road. while the rates
paid by the steel trust went back into
its own pockets as profits.
Tie Pennsylvania rail- Dad. Mood de .
clared, continually received complaints
from shippers that the Steel trust roads
have an enormous advantage over them
in the markets.
Woods testimony. with the expert
evidence recently produced before the
committee showing the enormous per-
Contage of through rates collected by
Sleel trust roads for an absurdlv short
LurtiCn of the through haul. will form
the basis of an attack upbn the owner
ship Jf roads by industrial concerns in
the repor'.
At present the Interstate Commerce
Commission has no power to regulate
the terminal. and plant facility lines "
the matter of rates. and the report Will
probably arg that they be placed under
the commissions regulation.

EXCISE TAX Law

Majority Report of the Ways

izen to contribute annually q fair and
Just portion OF his net gains to the sup
port of the Government. The bill will
accomplish in the main all the pur-
poses of a general income tax law and
at the same time escape the disap-
0rOval of the Supreme Court, as Il
keeps well within the principles OF that
court In sustaining the constitutionali-
tv of the corporation tax law. To IL
lustrate the equitable adjustment of the
excise tax recommended, a person hav-
ing an income of less than 5000 a year
would pay nothing. while person
whose business earns $4,000 net would
pay no tax on the first 5000 and on
the second 5000 would pay only $50 a
year"
The report states that the burden OF
our present indirect taxation falls upon
people having incomes of less than s., ,00L
per year. and that a part of the burden
should be shifted to the shoulders OF
those with larger incomes. The commit
tee says there are no statistics concern
Ing the probable number of persons and
firms who will fall under the pro-
visions of the extended excise bill, but
the estimate Is made that the bill viii

more than Offset the loss acCruing
through free sugar.
The constitutionality of the proposed
plan, declares the committee. Is appar.
ent, II these two propositions can bt
maintained:
First-The proposed tax is not direc
tax upon property, real or personal, o
the copartnerships or individuals, bu
q special excise upon the carrying on ol
doing business by such Copartnerships o
individuals. and It therefore needs nC
apportionmcnt among the States, ac
cording to population as required by tn,
Constitution with reference to direC
taxes.
SeCond-'rhe proposed tax is uniform
| throughout the United States.
The excise law Is declared by thu
Democrats of the committee to ID,
equitable. productive. and least objec
| tionable. Nothing can be fairer thar
| that citizens whose earnings permi
should contribute an equitable and JUS
portion of their net gains to the sup
port of the Government"
