RABIES ROBBED
Of ITS TERR0R5
Free Treatment by States Ex.
pertS Reduces HydrophObia
Deaths to Minimum.

Deaths from hydrophobia in Georgia
have been reduced TO a minimum
through the campaign of education and
the free Pasteur treatment of the state
board Of health, despite the fact that
rabies has been a constantly growing
disease among animals throughout the
South
So rarely have there been losses after
treatment at the state institute that
the disease has been robbed of the dread
it once possessed. According to fig
ures given out by the board, more than
1000 cases have been treated since the
institute was established three years
except in rare cases when the disease
was far advanced before the patient
was given treatment
Local physicians throughout the state
have been taught to ship to the institute
in Atlanta the head of any animal which
had bitten a human and suspected of
madness. Examination has shown that
70 per cent of these were afflicted with
IA bies.
The person bitten is then sent to
Atlanta, where absolutely free treat
ment is given, or on application can
have the treatment mailed, to be ad-
ministered by a local physician.
Twenty injections of hydropho-
bia virus administered daily is the full
treatment and a cure is considered
practically certain.

Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.

Chairman OF the Republican Nation al
Committee.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10 have been
asked why the president did not veto
the Payne tariff bill.
President Taft signed the Payne tar
iff bill because he believed that it would
lower tariff tolls, because he believed
that with the antiquated system of
framing tariff bills, with no informa-
ton other than that ex-parte testi-
mony which Is presented to the tariff
committees Of congress. he could OBJ
tain no better measure from congress.
and because the Payne tariff bill made
provision for machinery which would
insure adequate information on which
to base all subsequent revisions Con-
gress had been trying to do it's work
without the proper tools The Payne
bill provided the tools.
Mr. Taft pronounced ii the best tar
if bill the party had ever passed" be-
cause it contained provision for the ere
alton of the tariff board, because il
made provision for maximum and
minimum tariff which would enable him
to compel foreign nations to grant fair
treatmen to American goods; because
it imposed a tax on corporations which
would yield net revenue of $25, 900, 600
annually and subject their affairs to
more thorough Federal scrutiny than
had ever been possible before because,
although some of the duties imposed

far greater number of instances mate

bodied in its provisions, and because

President Taft called to revise the tar

garding the various industries affected
He wished to know whether existing
duties were too high, or too low, and,
if either, what change should be made.

HILL6S EXPLAINS WHY
TAFT FAILED TO VETO
PAYNE TARIFF BILL

| Taft was forced to the conclusion that
there existed no method of determin-
ing beyond peradventure the actual re-
quirements Of the various industries.
No sooner had President Taft reached
this conclusion that he became con-
WINGED that the first essential was not
change in rates but the instruments by
which the wisdom and business Of pro-
posed changes could be determined. He
would not proceed with a revision of
grades until he had a survey. Judge
of long experience, he saw that the
committees Of congress were obliged
to base their conclusions on testimony
which was not evidence to Ak rates
by a series of compromises between the
extreme claims of opposing witnesses,
and to do so far from free from politi-
cal influences which we're powerful. if
not compelling Nor could he prove
either to his own satisfaction. There
was no starting point from which to
reason, no conclusive or even gener-
ally accepted basis. He believed in, and
the national platform declared for. a
tariff which should equal the differ
enCe between the cost OF production
here and abroad 1t was, then, for a
logical mind a natural conclusion that
the first essential to an adequate and
satisfactory revision of the tariff was
method which would establish be-
yOnd question the cost of production
here and abroad. Such machinery pro-
vided and its results in the hands of
=
would be plain sailing To that end he
bent his energies. and when he had Sc
cured a bill which made provision for
tariff board to investigate and scien-
tifcally to determine these costs he
felt. and not without reason, that such
a bill was the best that had or could
be passed.
No Reason to Veto It.
It has been asked why President
Taft did not veto the Payne tariff
bill. From his standpoint there was
no reason whatever to veto it, As
| have said it gave him three all
important provisions. and a fourth
some reduction of the existing
rates-which was not. only good but
than which he could hardly expect
better until he had the information
on which to base his arguments for
still lower rates. To have vetoed the
Payne bill would certainly have i'm
periled the business of the country. 1t
would greatly have prolonged the tar
iff session. And there was no certain
ty'that a new bill would have contained
as much that was good and as little
that was bad as did the Payne bill

rate the telegraph companies has pro-
duced much discussion. The New
York World has suggested ironically
that, for efficiency, it might be better
for the telegraph companies to ope-
rate the Postal department.
Charles S. Hernly, President of the
New Castle, Ind, Industrial Associa-
ton, has filed an argument against
the proposed carriage of parcels
by the Government for concerns a
thousand miles distant at the same
price as that charged for a
few miles. He says it would
weaken home ties and loyalty
to community interests. 1t would
build up large mail-order concerns to
the depreciation of local values. Near
ness to a good live towns adds to con-
tentment on the farm. Increase of
great cities and consequent misery of
many unemployed are largely due to
dullness of many small towns. Great
cities furnish gravest dangers. Car

samples, for information purposes

it might be more just to transport
even merchandise under this limit al

The chief argument used to locate
industries in the Central West has
been that thereby such concerns
would be nearer the centers of popu
lation and markets. If the Govern
ment should haul much merchandise
at rates regardless of distance, Their
