La Toilette WADEs IN
TAFT'S OWN TERRITORY
Wisconsin Candidate for Pres
idenCy Makes Speech in Home
Town of Taft
CBy Associated Press. }

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. SO.-F'rom the
same platform in Music hall from which
President Taft delivered his opening adj
dress in the campaign for the presi-
dency in 1907, Senator LaFollette tonight
spoke to a large audience of Cincin7
natians.
1t probably was the most trying ordsal
OF Mr.. LaFollette's trip through OHIO,
inasmuch as his voice, made husky by
his strenuous journey thus far, did, not
carry to walls of the immense /audi-
torium and as consequence he Was re-
peatedly interrupted by cries of
Louder" s
As at Dayton last night, the wiscon-
sin senator's necl1tie and collaIr bothered
him early and it was only "a few mo
ments after he began speaking that he
removed these troublesome ARTICLES.
Senator LaFoIlette went after the
trusts, declaring that the. courts have
carefully protected investors in trusts
against the loss Of values. The only
instance where the extreme penalty OF
three fold damages bias been imposed
is in the case of labor organizations.
Mr.. LaFollette then told how the
court has gone to the extent of Selling
upon the savings OF members of a la
Dor Organization ahd had ordered that
these little investments should be paid
over, as far as they go, toward giving
the employers It lree times heir dam
ages that the sInion has caused them.
The people had just as much interest
in having high standard Of living for
labor as theyl are in having low cost OF
living in their purchasing commodities.
A law which, treats investors as tnno-
cent as the'y form a trust and guilty
if they form a labor union does not
command I ne respect nor appeal to the
sense of Justice of the American peo-
pie.
zone cIf the most serious restraints
of trade is found in the patent laws.
Those laws are designed to encourage
industry, but they are made instru-
mentsf of monopoly, a commission in
restra.int of trade under cover of pat
ent Fights copyrights and trade marks.
patent is a public utility and the
owyAer should be required by law to
develop it fully himself or permit its
use by the public on, reasonable terms
and described by the commission as
done in Germany, under the new patenC
Paws.
THE people demand freedom from
restraints and in the monopoly values
that have been built on restraints.
They are not to be given something
that perpetuateS ana monopollZeS under
the plea of making business safe.
THE kind of legislation here pro-
posed is not an experiment 1t has been
tried out in wisconsin for six years
in the regulation of railroads and pub
lie utilities"
Mr.. LaFollette again made a plea
for woman suffrage and was enthusi>
astically applauded. He referred to
Senator Aldrich and said Aldrich hao
only $50,600 when he went into the
senate but he quit with $50, 100000.

remaining half of the current fiscal year
The general fund. representing the avail
able resources of the treasury Showed
a big growth. on the orner hand due to
the sale of $5O,0OO.OOO in PANAMA canal
bonds, during the year.
While Secretary MacVeagH had not
received complete returns when the
treasury closed it's doors today it is
known that the disburserYIents exceeded
the receipts during the l9lst six months,
exclusive of the Panama canal financial
operations by ABOUT $50, 100000, while dur
the deficit was only $3,S70,00O The prin-
cipal causes of lie increased deficit were
falling or fof probably $lO,OOO,OOO in
customs receipts and an increase of
about 20, 900 in the cost of the navy
dug ~the last half year, as compared
wit rthe same period in 1910 APPROX
ma4ely $152,O00O00 were received from
s'iasSjeerns receipts during the last six
months, while at the close of Decem-
Der +. last year this source or revenue

cost about S7O,OOo.ooO up to date this year.
The disbursements during the first half
of the last fiscal year were S63,0O0.000.
The month of December made a par
ticularly poor showing, its deficit being
$2,OO0,000, while the deficit for November
was only 100000. DEFENDERS receipts
Amounted to approximately $52.000.OOO.
The general fund today amounts to
approximately S127, 100000, including
about $40, 900 900 actually in the treasurys
cash drawer. A year ago the general
fund was sSs.OOO,0OO and the working bal
ance 100000.
The amount Of gold today in possess
sion of the United States, the greatest
gold holding nation in the world. was
approximately S1,1S2,OOO,OOO in coin and
bullion, distributed among the reserve,
trust and general funds of the treasury.
The Panama canal has cost up to date
about S26O.0O0O00. OF this $12000O.OOO has
been paid out of the treasury's general
fund, the remainder representing the
proceeds from the sale of bonds. The
total cost of the waterway is estimat-
ed at s375. 100000. During the six months
just closed $1s.OOO.0OO was spent on the
ditch, as compared with $20,OOO,OOO during
the same period last year.
