begin a six days tour of Nebraska. He
goes from here to Falls City over the
Missouri Pacific and from there to Lin

After meeting at Lincoln tonight
Mr.. LaFollette intends going to Omaha
from which point he will make his
start for tomorrow returning to Omaha
for meeting Saturday night.
While crossing the Missouri from
Pacific Junction this morning Mr.. La
Toilette dictated statement in which
he declared that the "great awaken
ing for the restoration Of government
through the people themselves came
out of the middle west and has begun
to take hold strongly in the east"
He declared the time is near at
hand when our government will be-
come truly representative"
Hits RooseveIt's Trust Policy.
"My campaign will be for the most
part limited to the states which have
presidential primaries" ," he stated.
II will not be able to visit Illinois as
their primary comes on April and
will be in Nebraska until that time.
am told that there is splendid chance
for a progressive victory in New
Jersey"
A great increase in the number of
trusts occurred during Roosevelt's ad-
declared the senator in
his address here, the number going
from l49 to 5000 and the capitalization
from $3.50, 100000 to $20,000,000, 900.

ued during the Taft administration.

BILL OPPOSED
IN | He SENATE
All Republican Members Of
Committee Except LaFol-
lette Sign Report Attack
ing That Measure.

Washington, D. c., April 5.-An ad-
verse report of the house steel revis-
ion bill, signed by all of the repuoli-
can members of the finance commit
tee except Senator LaFollette was SUB
mitted to the senate today. This Oil
is denounced as illadvised and un'
|, fortunate.
It is declared that the enactment or
the bill would reduce protection De-
low the margin of safety and tend TO
destroy one Of the most important IN
dustries Of this country.
The committee contends that hear
ings of 245 different industrial con-
Germs of eighteen states showed
widespread opposition to the revision
OF the present rates and that repre-
sentatives Of 225 manufacturers of ma
chine tools testified that putting ma
chine tools on the free list would COM
pei the closing of their factories.
Among numerous other reasons
given by the committee for it's opposl-
\ tion to the democratic bill is cited the
4 absence of a report from the tariff
board on metals.
, The report says that the house ways
and means committees estimate that
there would be $25,000,000 of in
creased importations annually II cor
rect, would mean that foreign iron
'land steel products were to d1splace
American manufacturers in the domes-
\ tic markets. 1t added that even with
\ the Increased importations relied on
by the ways and means commlttee,
there would be deficit in revenues
OF more than S1,400,00O. +
The minority of the finance commit
tee has not yet reported.
An agreement to take up the house
iron and. steel tariff revision bill by
week after next was reached IN the
i senate today. Senator Penrose pre-
sented the finance committees adverse
report on the bill and in response 70
questions he and Senator Simmons,
speaklng for both the majority and
minority, said they would cooperate 10
begin the consideration of the meas
(ure at the earliest possible day.
4 Senator Simmons said the demo
cratic members of the finance commit
tee would file the minority report.
Pass Money Trust Resolution.
Vigorous investigation of the So
called "money trust" and it's renlifi-
cations was forecast today when the
house adopted a resolution empower
Ing the judiciary committee to employ
every means in the going into the
situation. The resolution gives the
committee the powers Of a court,
authorizing it to subpoena witnesses
and to compel the production OF
papers and records.
Phases of the subject will be in
'vestigated, under authority already
given, by the committee ond banking
and currency, interstate and foreign
1 commerce and election Of president,
vice president and representatives in
congress. 1t was intended that the
judiciary committee should provide
the ground work on which these sew
eral Investigations should be pressed,
in addition to procuring evidence for
an individual inquiry.

ANTHRACITE men
OPPOSE U.M.W.A.
OPERATORS SAY THEY WILL NOT
RECOGNIZE UNION OF BITUM-
INoUS MINERS.

New York, April 5-The anthracite
coal operators took official cognizance
today of widespread reports that the
mine owrkers arc planning to press
their demands for recognition of the
United Mine Workers of America by
issuing statement declaring that they
s'are willing to stand absolutely upon
the decision OF the anthracite strike
commission with respect to this de-
mand"
Following is the statement in part
The operators have consistently
held that 1t was unreasonable to ash
them to enter into a contract with 9
union controlled by workers engaged
in bituminous mining, rival industry
They were upheld in this by the strike
commission, which declared that the
first requisite for trade agreements in
the anthracite industry should be an
organization governed by the anthra.
cite mine workers and free from con.
troll or dictation by the bituminous
mine workers.
None of the reforms in organiza.
tion that the commission recommend.
ed have been made, and today the op-
orators are asked to do precisely the
thing which the commission with full
power, declined to direct them to do.
Another conclusive reason why the
anthracite operators should not recog.
nize the United Mine Workers OF
America as party to contract is
that not nearly all the anthracite mine
workers-not even majority-are
members of that union.
"The experience of the last nine
years has thoroughly justified the
strike commissions plan for governing
the relations between mine workers
and operators. With the conciliation
board always ready to settle griev'
ances, the mine workers have had
complete recognition Of their rights
a form of recognition that has been
satisfactory to vast majority OF
them"

RHODE is and LEADS ALL
STATES IN IMPROVED ROADS
Although the Smallest. She Has Done
the Best Work.


Rhode Island. the smallest state in
the Union, with an area Of only $50
square miles. ranks flrst Of all tile
states In its percentage OF improved
roads. Under the direction Of Secre-
tary Wilson a very comprehensive sta
ttstlcal Investigation of the mileage
and cost Of public roads In the United
States has recently been completed by
the Office OF public roads, Omitted
States department ofangriculture. This
document reveals many interesting
facts. Thus, apparently. Il IS not be-
cause OF her small size that Rhode Is
land is able to bonst Of 1911 per cent
Of improved roads. for Delaware with
an area Of 2.o5O square miles has only
6.22 per cent Of improved roads On
the other hand. Massachusetts. with
an area Of s315 square miles. has 40
per cent Of her roads improved. or
very nearly the same percentage as
Rhode Island. The size OF the state
therefore seems to have little or no
effect on the percentage Of improved
roads.
The Investigations further show that
there are 2,109.G45 miles Of public
roads in continental United States. OF
this vast mileage only 190,476, or sec
per cent, are classed as improved,
AS stated above. Rhode Island leads
with 49.14 per cent Of improved roads,
while Massachusetts is second with 40
per cent Indiana Follows with S6.7
per cent. Ohio. Connecticut. New,Jer.
sey. Kentucky, Vermont and California
follow in a descending order, the latter
having 1887 per cent Of Improved
roads. The states of wisconsin, New
York, Maryland. Utah. Tennessee,
South Carolina, Maine and Michigan
range in the order given from 1G to 10
per cent.
Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Minnesota, New Hampshire
and Oregon have between 8 and 10 per
cent OF their roads improved. OF the
twenty-five states with less than 8 per
cent Of improved roads North Dakota
stands at the bottom with only 0.23
per cent secretnry Wilson and Dr.
rector Page. who is in charge Of the
office ofspublic roads. are ever at work
on the problems which confront the
road builders throughout the land, and
especially those problems which are
most frequently confronted by com.
munities ipgswhich road Improvement
