BY c. e. STEWART

Washington. July 2S.-(SpeciaI) )--Attor.
ney General McReynolds has filed the
first important suit of the administration
against the western branch of the tele-
phone trust The immediate cause of the
filing of this suit was the chronic and
urgent demand for some action from the
Pacific coast; complaint against the mo-
nopoly from the states of Washington
and Oregon were pouring in at the de-
partment of justice with such insistent
demand for immediate relief that the
department did not take time TO include
in their inquiry the advlsability of at
taclxing the parent organization as a
whole, but confined their present action
TO the local situation out west.
The Attorney General admitted that he
did not know whether or not his suit
against the western subsidiary concerns
would finally lead to a suit against the
entire organization. The American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company has been
under the scrutiny of the department for
some time, and the various ramifications
of that organization and its methods of
doing business are being checked over.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Currency Legislation for Farma,

currency Legislation for Farmer
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial union. at meeting in Ocala, Fla.
in 1890, formulated certain demands" for
consideration of the lawmakers and voters
of these United States. No one of the
demands was more adversely criticised
than the ''sub-treasury plan.' Wall street,
of course, thundered against such a
scheme that would allow farmers to bor-
row on warehouse receipts, direct from the
government, money at a low rate of in
terest, thus placing the farmer with his
produced on the same footing with the
banker and his bonds
Representative Henry of Texas is adj
vocating an agricultural currency to sbe
issued through the reserve banks to farm
ers upon warehouse or storage certih-
Gates, certifying the deposit of cotton,
corn or wheat in bonded, insured and SOL
vent warehouses or storage plants to be
approved by the federal reserve board"
The spirit of the old f. A. and l. u.
still lives. Thus is demonstrated the fact
that no honest effort. exerted in the right
direction. is ever entirely lost This re-
form in our currency and banking legis-
lation is fundamental and entirely advan-
| tageous to the country at large.
| OF course, it will deprive certain classes
OF financial institutions of large part of
their present means of exacting graft.
but a healthy competition for obtaining
| lower interest rates will certainly prove
beneficial and will prevent the jeopardiz-
| Ing of the farmers home to obtain money
for farm operations.
| On the same principle the United States
builds canals, locks and dams to obtain
water transportation in order to lessen
freight charges to the people. | am heart
lily In favor of Mr.. Henrys amendment
and am glad to read that President Wilson
! is in line with Mr.. Henry
OF course, If President Wilson had de-
clared succinctly that he was in favor of
the F. A. and |. L. sub-treasury plan at
the start he would not have made much
headway. But he Is wise In his day and
generation, and things are coming the
peoples way
I'll tell you. Mr.. Editor, that what the
farmer needs now, and has always need
ed. is that the money lenders quit robbing
him under forms of law. He needs no
charity, no aims In fact, he should be
the one TO give aims, but not have his
produce stolen from him.
Recently i read that Mr.. Vanderlip was
very greatly exercised about the prospec-
tive bountiful crops, and the arrange
ments for financing them. ] suppose he is
doing some hard work to get the money
to the farmer on time, but let me tell you
also, that though his is a noble work he
and his kind exact too much toll The
government can furnish the money at less
cost, for the simple reason that one of It's
principal functions is to 'scoin money ana
regulate the value thereof" and also 1.
has the right to do banking business.
| applaud Mr.. Henry and hope others
will join me- When man Is engaged IN
securing such beneficial legislation he
should be cheered and helped by words of
commendation. Very respectfully

any reasonable orders 1t might issue for
lower railroad rates.
II there is any indication that the in
terests of the people of Alabama will be
preserved by appealing, the constitution
ality of statutes providing for a % cent
passenger and lower rates on 1lO com
modities which We're passed at the 1907
session of the legislature will be decided
by the supreme court of the United
States.
Governor O'Neal announced this after
noon that he would confer With attorneys
about the result of the decision of the
United States court in the Louisville and
Nashville case last week and that if they
ADVISED the contest over the validity of
the legislative enactment would be carried
to the United States supreme court.
Governor O'Neal said he did not intend
to convey the impression that the fight
over the statute would be stopped when
he announced Saturday that it was prob
able that the railroad commission had ao-
complished the ends desired.
II would not decide the matter without
considering it, and then 1t wouldn't be
right for me to take definite action with
out consulting the states special coun-
sci, said Governor O'Neal.
Decision in the original case is necessar ry
for several reasons. When the law requir-
was passed the Louisville and Nashville
appealed to the courts and gave purchas-
ers coupons emitting them to refund
of X cent mile If the courts decided
against the railroad. The corporation won
in the district court, but the question has
not been decided by the supreme court.
Ending the case now would mean the loss
of several thousand dollars to purchasers
of transportation.
If the case is not carried to the higher
court, Tennessee will probably have to be-
gin proceedings against the railroads
Railroads in that state and the Tennessee
railroad commission made an agreement
that they would abide by the decision in
the Alabama case and If the contest is not
continued the railroads may claim that
they are not required to establish 21k
cent rate even though Alabama has Sc
cured low rate through the medium Of
the railroad commission.
