 '"The Progressive party's position on the tariff is distinct. It does not be- lieve in the Democratic position which proposes to remove all protection ex- cept that incidental to revenues. It does not believe in the Republican po- sition which proposes to keep the du- ties prohibitive. It believes in a pro tective tariff which shall equalize the conditions of competition between the United States and foreign countries both for the farmer and the manufac- turer and which shall maintain for labor an adequate standard of living. The Progressive party would construct a. tariff bill one sch hedule at a time in the open, free from the distortion of designing interests and selfish p11r- poses.''

Physical Valuation of Rail-
roads in the United States
VIII Cost From $fO,OOO,OOO to
s15,O0O,O00.
FROM FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS
Will Be Required for COmpIet-
ing the Job.
The Expense Will Average
About $50 per Mile.

Washington, July 31.-PhysicaI vaIu-
alton of the railroads of the United
States by the interstate commerce COM
mission will take from five to seven
years by a specially organized corps
of men and will cost the government
from s10.0OO,00O to $4,000, 900 or more.
according to plans of the commission
presented to the house appropriations
committee today. The commission has
asked for an immediate appropria ton
of S1,00O0 GOO for the organization of the
corps of engineers necessary to under
take the work.
Commissioners Clements and Prouty
and Secretary George B. McGinty, of
the commission, have told the house
appropriations subcommittee that a
carefully worked out estimate places
the cost of the field work at 81, ,921, 500
year throughout that period.
The plan presented by Mr.. McGintv
contempIates the division of the coun-
try into five districts containing ap-
proximately $4,000 miles of railroad
each.
Mr.. McGinty explained to the COM
nittee that the estimated cost per year
of each of these district organizations,
with their groups of field squads would
be about S3S4, 800, or a total per year
for the five districts of nearly mill
lion dollars. In addition to this, he
estimated that the accounting feature
of the work would cost about S350,00O
a year and that the maintenance of a
valuation office in Washington wOulu
probably cost $150Oo0 year.
Although the committee was skep-
teal Mr. McGinty was confident that
the commission would be able to get
the field force organized through the
civil service commission by the first
of next year, to take care of the first
years work. 1t was for this purpose,
he said, that the commission needed
1850, 600
Mr.. McGinty mentioned cases where
it cost from So to SIS a mile to ascer-
tain the value of railroads
In all Of these "a ses, only the re-
production value of the road was as
certained.'' he continued, whereas We
are required to ascertain the reproduc-
ton value, the deprecated value and,
in addition to work out the history of
the roads and ascertain the amount of
money invested in their original con-
struction. The total cost to the gov
ernment will probably exceed $50 a mile
or a total cost of from $40, ,O00, 600 to S15.-
100000, but, of course, this is only
guess

URGE REAL HASTE
Kansas Wants Gas Troubles
Settled Early.
Asks Federal Court to Advance
Marshall Appeal.

Kansas City, July 31.-The hearing
of the gas case in the federal court
here this afternoon may be of far
reaching consequences to the cities that
are depending on natural gas for light
and warmth this winter
The hearing is on a motion to ad-
vance the appeal from the recent de-
cision of Judge Marshall, of the fed
eral court at Salt Lake City That
decision held that the receivers ap-
pointed for the Kansas Natural Gas
company by Judge Pollock, of the Uni
ted States district court for Kansas,
could not be compelled to exesnd pipe
lines to get more gas. 1t overruIed the
order to- the receivers appointed by
Judge FIannelly, Kansas state dis
trict judge, to extend pipe lines to new
gas wells.
John Atwood. counsel for the F'Ian-
nelly receivers, appealed from Judge
MarshalIs decision. He applied to
Judge Hook to have the appeal advanc-
ed and that is the motion to be heard
this afternoon.
As it requires more than one judge
to hold a session of the United States
circuit court of appeals, Judge Hook
asked Judge VanVaIkenburgh of the
district court here, to sit with him.
If the case be advanced it may be
heard in September. If Judge Mar
Gas company receivers at once Will
have to extend the pipe lines to get
more gas.
The decision of the federal court is
being anxiouSly waited by members of
the state administration. A decision
reversing the ruling of Judge Mar
shall, it is claimed, will enable the
state to secure an ample gas supply
for next winter But hasty action by
the federal judges must be secured in
order to enable prompt extension of
the pipe lines. The court will be
urged to advance the final hearing on
the appeal and to take the matter up
not later than September.
Attorney General John S. Dawson,
Henderson S Martin, chairman of the
public utilities commission and Judge
A. E Helm, attorney for the commits
sion. went to Kansas City this morning
to attend the hearing Before leaving
Topeka this morning, Chairman Martin
stated that he believed the court would
look favorably on the action of the
state to secure an advancement Of the
case.
Il think the action of the mayors and
city officials of the state will be of as
sfstance in the matter said Martin,
and I am very hopeful that we get an
early hearing. There is no question
but that Kansas towns which patrOnize
the Kansas Natural are wide awake
and l don't think the courts will deny
their demands for early action on the
appeal from Judge MarshalPs decision" "

UNCLE SAM
Great Britain VIII Not Partici-
pate in Frisco Fair.
Dispute Over Panama Canal
Tolls Is the Cause.

London. July S1.-Great Britain has
decided gainst participation in the
Panama-Pacific exposition at San
Francisco in 1915.
Notification of this determination or
the British government was conveyed
officially to Washington early this week
the dispatch merely stating that Great
Britain was not in position to par
tfcfpate in the San Francisco exposi-
ton. No reasons were given
Both the British foreign office and
Walter Hines Page, the United States
ambassador here, decline to discuss the
matter or to reveal the cause of this
reversal of the announcement made
sometime back that Great Britain had
decided in principle to participate IN
the exposition
II has been mooted for some time
however. that the dispute in regard to
the Panama canal tolls might possibly
lead to this result and the present no
tification of participation IS at
tributed to that cause
Germany Is Hanging Off.
Washington. July 31.-After exhibit
ing much concern over the places which
would be assigned to prospective eN-
hibitors by the management of the
Panama-Pacifc exposition, the British
government finally has declined to par
ticipate. The long delay in acting up
on the invitation to participate in the
fair has been the cause of deep con-
Germ to the management of the exposi-
tion. particularly as formidable opposi-
tion had likewise developed in Germany,
where certain of the great trade
associations, such as those representing
the steel and iron manufacturers, had
formally requested the German gov
ernment to decline the invitation
In an unofficial way it is said that
Ifssa tisfactiou on the part of the great
commercial nations with certain fea-
lures of the pending tariff bill which
hey felt bore hardly upon their trade, |
was the reason for the attitude of
covert hostility toward the San Fran |
cisco fair. But as the senate finance
committee has amended the tariff bill
n q manner thought to make 1t mob |
ectionable TO those nations, it was full |
V expected they would see their way |
clear to accept the invitations
In the case of Great Britain, how |
-ery though the original cablegram
IF Ambassador Page giving notice OF
he declina tion, has now been supple !
nented by a mail report dealing with
positively known what basis of objec- |
ion now remains. 1t is thought by Of |
iciaIs. however. that while the reason I
assigned by the British government Is
, belief that there have been too many /
such international expositions in recent
years. the underlying objection IS
based upon the view of incongruity of
British participation in an event de- /
signed to celebrate the opening of the |
Panama canal. while there is a dispute |
over its free use.
