Mr.. Hughes made approximately
thirty speeches in California, sixteen

the strain of the unusual effort in his
voice, and was tired out on leaving
here. He will have his first rest of

After today he will make but four set
speeches before going to Estes Park

Mr.. Hughes protested vigorously at
the strenuous program arranged for
his last day in California, and has re-

called upon to make SO many rear

shows the strain more than at any
time since his departure from New

TO MEET SHORTAGE,

Publishers Adopt Unusual
Methods Because of Scar
city in News Print Paper.
BIG ADVANCE IN PRICE
OF STOCK AT THE MILLS
Famine" Likely to Be More Pro-
nounced in the Autumn-Com-
petitive Market Needed.

From the New York Evening Post.
The shortage of news-print paper, the
stock upon which the daily news publi-
cations of the country are printed. has
become so serious, because of the unprece-
dented demands for advertising space in
all cities that the newspaper publishers
are being forced to unusual measures to
meet the situation Under the leadership
of the American Newspaper Publishers
Association. an organized campaign IS
being conducted for the purpose of driv-
ing home to publishers the necessity for
practicing rigorous economy in the use OF
paper Already, hundreds of newspapers
have cut off their exchange lists. aboi-
ished returns" and reduced the size OF
their editions. and it is anticipated by
many persons who have studied the prob
lens that in numerous cases it will be
necessary for newspapers to increase
their advertising rates and sale price.
This is because, with the shortage OF
stock. it is charged that some of the pa
per mills have taken advantage Of the
difficulties of the publishers in numerous
instances to raise arbitrarily their prices
to such an extent as to be almost pro-
hibitive. For instance, while paper year
ago was selling t. o. b. at the mill at S3s
a ton, today there is talk OF some mills
raising the price to s120 and $140, and
are now being offered at $50
and $50 ton.

Some Mills Playing Fair.

Some mills, on the other hand, are play
ing fair and have announced their inten-
ton to renew contracts at $50 ton,
price not out of proportion under the con-
ditions but it is safe to say that, unless
something unforeseen occurs to mitigate
the shortage, the seriousness OF the pres
ent famine will become more pro-
nounced as the autumn months arrive.
with their general awakening OF business
and industry, neceSsitating larger EDITIONS
and increased consumption. Conditions IN
the paper trade reminiscent OF the days
of the civil war, when in February, 1862,
the price was more than "a cents pound.
There is no desire upon the part OF
newspaper publishers to resort to the
expediency of increased advertising
rates and sale prices, and in order
that they may leave no stone unturned
to avert such a radical measure the
campaign for economy is being pushed
steadily under the general guidance OF
L. 3. Palmer. manager of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association. and
cago Daily News, who was instru-
mental in bringing the New York and
Philadelphia publishers together in
joint agreement to reduce their paper
consumption. Thanks to these agree
ments, New York. Philadelphia and
Kansas City are now saving 500 tons
of paper a week. OF course, 1t ts not
possible for smaller cities to make
such a showing, but If the papers
throughout the country went at the
situation in the same spirit there
would be, it is believed, a speedy END
of the famine.

Praises Republican Legislation.

Mr.. Hughes. before an audience in the
armory here last night, declared for an
adequate compensation law, providing
compensation to persons injured in haz-
ardous employments engaged in inter-
state commerce. He also spoke of labor
legislation enacted under republican
administrations.
IT rejoice in what has been done un-
der republican auspices in the federal
sphere-that is, in that department of
activity which, under our Constitution,
is subject to federal regulation" he
said.
TT was under republican administra-
ton that the safety appliance act was
passed. "a great safeguard of safety of
railway employees. 1t was under repub-
lican administration that an act was
amended by Congress so as to give a
far wider degree of protection to safety
appliances of various sorts than we're
formerly accorded.
TT was under republican administra-
tion that Congress passed the hours of
service act, in order to prevent the un-
due exhaustion of employees through
hours of labor which were excessive. 1t
was under republican administration
that the employers liability act of 1906
was passed.
I'VE have had remarkable record Of
achievement in the interests of fair legis-
lation under republican auspices. 1 de-
sire to see legislation of that character
and every reasonable sort for the pro-
lection Of labor enacted, to the end that
there may be feeling through this coun-
try that Justice is being done.

Situation Summed Up.

Mr. Palmer summed up the situation
in a bulletin which he sent out to all
members OF the association:
ITO secure q competitive market, 1t
is necessary that each newspaper re-
duce the number Of pages Of many, If
not all, editions. as well as eliminate
all returns and other waste.
"A competitive market, II secured

cause of many. IL not all, being obliged
to pay in future a price far in excess
of cost Of production.
The remedy is in your hands.
What are you going to do about itT
Palmer also pointed out the difficulties
in the way of any other policy but an
economic one.

STATE
TO Get SLICE

The federal good roads bill has

was signed by President Wilson last

will receive more than 100000 for
road building and road improvement,
provided the state establishes a high
way department but if Indiana re-
fuses to establish such department,
she will lose that aid from the gov
eminent.
Wayne county has headed a move
ment to secure the establishment and
now the entire Sixth district is or
ganized for the purpose OF getting the
establishment of such a department,
with Joseph Mills, Richmond, presi-
dent
Mr.. Mills said today that the Sixth
district association believes that there
is no doubt but that the next legis-
lature will provide for a commission
and 1t is now devoting it's time to
getting the citizens of the state in
terested in this commission so that
the pest Kind available will be put into
force. The plan is to get each dis
trlct to prepare bill and then have
the legislature take the best parts
out of all the district drafts.
Unless something like this is done,
Indiana will in all PROBABILITY get a
bad law, just like Ohio has, Mr.. Mills
explained today.
A few men cannot frame a law to
suit all the people and under the plan
which is being fostered by the Sixth
District association, all the citizens
would have chance to offer their
suggestions.
