BUSINESS PRosPERINc, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present tightening up OF money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. It Is really more a period
OF stock-taking resorted to by the
banks TO ascertain the true condition
Of the finances and trade OF the coun-
Try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who IL allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a means towards precipi-
tating something a good deal worse
than they feel now In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and II is
safe TO say business was never bet
ter. The pulse OF trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and il
Is illuminative to read portions OF the
address OF Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House OF Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are IN part as
follows:
1T falls agreeably 10 my lot TO ex-
tend my most hearty congratulations
TO the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which Il
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. ! am happy TO announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. I
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, IL will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total OF S16S, 100000. or
an increase over the year 1911-12 OF
over s32,000,000. Some indication OF
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
riod Of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue OF the country seventy
years ago.
The augmentation OF revenue to
which / have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
in its nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month OF the entire fiscal
year. 1t was Of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources Of revenue-excise, post office
and raiiways-also gave US very sub
stantial increases"
That in a period OF great finan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets Of the world, but have
been able to reduce so substantially
(s23,000,000) the debt Of the Domin-
ion, must be a matter OF qualification,
both to the House and to the people
Of Canada.
Il believe that during this period
Of exceptional money /stringency the
credit of the Dominion as rejected in
the quotations Of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
In the world"
Owing to the favorable state of its
finances Canada was in a position to
pay off a heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue OF bills or Sc
Observation-Disclosures.

TOWNSEND OF MICHIGAN DE-
CLAREs WILSON INFLUENCES
MEMBERS FOR TARIFF BILL.
SAYS IT MAY BE ACCIDENTAL
Republicans Hold Recent Denuncistion
Will Force Certain Members to Vote
as Chief Executive Wishes-Aii
Deny Being Approached.

Washington, June IAN unexpect-
ed turn was given the senate's lobby
investigation when Senator Townsend
OF Michigan, Republican. declared on
the stand that the influence welded
by President Wilson and by the Demo
cratic secret caucus, upon the making
of the tariff bill, constituted the near
est approach to undue influence upon
members of congress" the investigat-
ing committee would be able to find.
Senator Townsend criticized the
committee for not having asked mem
bers of the senate whether the presi-
dent had sought to influence them, and
declared even though the president had
not intended 1t, his recent denunciation
of Hobbies" working in support or
changes in the tariff, would force GER
tain senators to vote against amend
ments they knew to be just.
Who are those senators?' demand
ed Senator Reed.
Il don't care TO name anyone" re-
piled Townsend.
Two Resent Insinuation.

Walsh, Indignantly resented any init
nation President Wilson had used
patronage or threats to force anyone
to support free sugar or free wool, or
to support the bill as whole. Sena-

Walsh, that In view Of the serious
statements made touching the execu-

Il am for that" said Senator Mel

agreed.
Dragging President Wilson's tariff
activities into the investigation some
what intensified feeling within the
committee. and it is expected 1t will
make more searching the investiga-
tions still to be carried on.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts
also a Republican. following Senator
Townsend on the witness stand. ex-
pressed the opinion that executives
had had more influence in bills than
all the persons put together who have
come to Washington.
Thinks Public Influenced.
'The statement the president put
out liz regard to an insidious lobby In
auenced the public mind" said Sena-
tor Weeks, land that has its effect up
on the senators. The public believes a
lobbyist is a bad man, and no senator
likes to oppose a measure If the presi-
dent says lobbyists are seeking to
change It,"
Tne senate agreed to extend the
time limit for the lobby investigation
20 days, Or until June 2S. Members of
the committee doubt whether it can be
completed within that time.
Senator Townsend's statement In re-
latior 20 President Wilson were not In

said he did not charge the president

even though he did not use the big
stick" of patronage.

VICTORY FOR STATE
U. S. SUPREME COURT HANDS
DOWN DECISION IN IMPoR-
TANT LEGAL STRUGGLE.
ONE LINE GETS A VERDICT
Holds Minnesota Has Right to Fix
Rates of Carriers SO Long as They
Are Not confiscatory-Turpentine
Trust Victor.

washington, June 10.-The state of
Minnesota won a substantial victory
in the Supreme court when in the Min.
nesota rate case Justice Hughes for
the court held that the rates of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad were
confiscatory and unconstitutional, but
that the rates of the Northern Pacific
and Great. Northern were valid.
The decision, which was unanimous,
is victory for the state on the inter
state commerce phases of the contro-
versy aud upon the confiscatory fea-
lures. with the exception of the por-
ton affecting the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis.
What the Cases Are.
The so-called state rate" cases have
presented to the Supreme court one of
the momentous problems of the dec
ade.
In general terms, this group of cases
called upon the court to decide two
questions. One was whether the states
in passing maximum freight and two
cent passenger laws had unduly inter
fered with interstate commerce. The
other was whether those laws confls-
Gated the property of the railroads by
requiring them to transact business at
a loss
The group consisted of As cases. All
arose out of legislation enacted by
states legislature about 1907, or just
after the federal government had
passed the Hepburn rate law. The As
cases concerned directly the laws in
six states-Missouri, Minnesota, Ken
lucky, Oregon, Arkansas and West
Virginia. Similar litigation arose in
Alabama, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
Oklahoma and South Dakota In all,
it was said that 76 suits in federal
courts depended upon the decision in
the As cases before the Supreme
court.
How the Suits Started.
The Minnesota case arose out of
suits by stockholders of the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern and the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis railroads
against the companies to enjoin them
from obeying the maximum freight
and two-cent passenger laws as I'M
constitutional, and against the state
officials to enjoin them from enforcing
the laws. Judge Sanborn of the Uni
ted States circuit court for Minnesota
held the laws unconstitutional, of a
confiscatory nature, and that they bur-
dened interstate commerce. The
three suits were appealed to the SUI
preme court.
Turpentine Trust Victor.
Convictions of five officials of the
American Naval Stores company at
Savannah-the so-called turpentine
trust-for criminal violation of the
Sherman law were set aside by the
Supreme court because of an errone-
Gus instruction of the trial judge.
Justice Pitney was the only dissenter
from the opinion.
Holding that one shipper cannot sue
for rebates as damages because COM
petitors received rebates, the Supreme
court reversed the decision of the
courts awarding to the
Coal Mining company of
