TAFT FOR REASONABLE

ing Discriminatory Legislation,
in California Address.

SAN FRANCISCO. August 27.-For-
mer President William Howard Taft
argued for reasonable regulation of
capital. and cautioned labor against
seeking discriminatory legislation in
an address here yesterday before the
San Francisco Commercial Club. He
devtated from this line to pay his re-
spects to the leader Of the great move
ment which is not a machine but an
organization with leaders and not
bosses" He declared a keen-witted
people don't have to be kicked twice
movement soon will become a part OF
political history
Getting back to his main thought. he
said 1t took the railroads twenty years
to find out that the Interstate com
merce act really meant something, but
that the lesson had been learned
Now. he continued, I'VE have
reached time when we ought to have
reaction and not bind and harass the
enterprise and ingenuity of our Ameri-
can business communities"
Labor unions. he said, had done good
for workingmen. and, therefore. for
society, but he hoped for better leaders
lobbying for legislation which is dis
criminatory." Mr.. Taft explained. Like
the capitalists. they are beset with the
evil of being intoxicated with power. ]

this dead leveling and give greater
reward for greater efficiency in the

Another Rumor Denied
C0MMENDS HIGHWAY ROUTE.
W. j. Frizzel Discusses Lincoln
Memorial in Letter to r. N. Harner

robert N. Harper, chairman of the
local committee Of the Lincoln Me-
mortal Highway, has received from
William J. Frizzell a letter commend
ing the proposal to have the highway
enter Washington at the intersection
of Maryland and Florida avenues. AS
Maryland avenue, now attractively
parked. leads directly to the Capitol.
where Lincoln delivered both of his
inaugural addresses, it is particularly
appropriate, the writer suggests, that
the memorial highway should enter
the city by this route.
Mr. Frfzzell expresses the hope that
in the near future a monument will
mark the spot where Lincoln stood
during the battle of Fort Stevens. He
expresses the belief that this fight, in
which the exhausted 9Th Army Corps
prevented the capture of Washington
by Gen. Early's forces, was of more
Importance than the great three-day
fight at Gettysburg.
Taken all in ALL says the writer, IT
think there are more Lincolnian at
fractions in and around this capital
city than abound in the historic vicin-
ity of Gettysburg. Therefore, may we
not hope that our local public spirited
citizens may be aroused and make an
organized effort to put Washington on
the main line rather than on the de-
tour?"

IS ASKED TO INTERPRET
SEAMAN'SLAW CLAUSES
Solicitor Of Commerce Department
to Explain Application Of
Language Test.

The bureau Of navigation has asked
Solicitor Thurman of the Department
Of Commerce to decide whether clauses
Of the new seaman's law prescribing
the qualifications Of crews and insti-
tuting the so-called language test. can
be applied to foreign-built vessels ad-
mitted to American registry under the
act of 1914.
This registry law authorized the
President to suspend the provisions of
the law requiring survey. inspection
and measurement by officers of the
United States of foreign-built vessels
admitted to American registry"
Provisions Suspended.
In a proclamation September 4, 1914.
the President suspended these pro-
visions. and made the suspension eff
fective for the two years following
that date. As practically all Of the
important sections of the seaman's law
are in the form Of amendments to the
suspended statutes. department officials
are inclined to hold that they cannot
be applied before September I. 1915,
to ships admitted to American registry
under the Presidents proclamation.

Attorney Generals View,

An opinion by Attorney General
Gregory. now before the President. Is
understood to sustain Solicitor Thur
mans decision that vessels of nations
whose navigation laws approximate"
those of the United States will not be
subject to the seaman's law. This
opinion would exempt from the oper-
atoms Of the new law the ships of
practically all the big maritime
nations If, in addition, the foreign
built ships now under the American
flag were to be exempted, the new re-
strictions would effect virtually only
American built and owned ships.
