MIR. TAFT BhAMES RAILROADS.

New York. - Whenever a worker
charges the railroads of this country
with corrupt practices, said worker is
denounced as a 'dcmagoguc' and an
enemy of capital"
AS no one can place former President
Taft in this class, ii is interesting to
note the views Of this gentleman on the
question Speaking before the Traffic
Club OF New York, he declared that the
railroads of the United States have
themselves to blame for the "rcgulation
with which they find themselves en-
mcshed."
They lent themselves to the building
up of industrial monopolcs by the grant
ing of rebates against the law" said Mr..
Taft; they took part in politics and
corrupted Councils and Legislatures, and
they were one of the elements in the
community which threatened this coun-
try with plutocracy.

VALUATION TOO LOW.


w. y. Cartwright, vce-prcsident Of
the Union Gas and Electric Company,
said he had not had an opportunity to
examine the King report in detail, but
had knowledge of the gist of the re-
port. He asserted that the King valua-
ton was low. He said that Mr. King
had gone the limit in cutting down the
valuation, and that the company expects
to be able to show a materially higher
valuation of the properties than the one
fixed by King.
He took serious exception TO the al
lowance of Z per cent net income, rec
commended by King. Mr.. Cartwright
said King allowed a net OF s per cent
in his report on the electrical business,
was conceded to be a much more haz-
public utilities commissions generally
had allowed a net of 10 per cent as a
fair return on gas properties. He char
actcrlzcd the per cent allowance as
ridiculous. The Tax Commission of
Ohio, in fixing the tax valuation of the
company uses net return of 10 per
cent as the basis of the tax return, he
declared.
He said the minimum of A cents a
month recommended by King was low
and the company expected to show that
a higher minimum would be fair.
Mr. Cartwright said the valuation be-
ing made by the Union Company itself
would be ready in a month. He said il
would 90 into the matter much more

DOLLAR A DAY
For Incapacitated Advocated BY
Bigelow on Talk on Poverty.

An amendment to the Ohio constitu-
ton to empower the State to inaugurate
system of insurance against poverty
was advocated by Herbert S. Bigelow in
an address at the Grand Opera House on
"A Program to Abolish Poverty in
Ohio" The leader of the People
Church stated that he favored a State
pension of 81 day for those who are
unable to support themselves because of
unemployment widowhood, inability to
work and old age.
If the State inaugurates the poverty
insurance he declared that it will only
give them back what they have earned.
The very existence of a person adds
81, 900 to the land value each year, was
his contention, and if the single tax was
in effect the land would be well able to
pay the additional taxes to meet the pow
erty insurance cost. He also advocated
the single-taX propaganda.
Announcement was made that next
Sunday Mr. Bigelow would speak on
The Battle Cry of Peace" and that on
Sunday, March -, Frank p Walsh, St.

dustrial Relations, will give the address,
