Matter Will Be Again Taken Up.
/ sNe York, Feb. 9t.--Prsoldent Taft
and the Germant anoassador, Count
vtoA Bernatorff, both heartily favor the
'*eallest consummation of an arbltra
ton treaty with Germanuy, according to
Marcus M. Marks and Dr. Livingston
eWtmp.na special committee of the
New ork Peace society, who have
returned from Washington after a
conference with them on the subject.
The committee, in making this an
ntUncement tonight, gave out a letter
received from Mr. Taft under date of
February 19. In reply to a suggestion
that offldal deolaration of the pre.l
dent's approval of an arbitration
treaty wite Germany, "would be very
helpful in reassuring many citizens
that our government Is equally eager
to negotiate with Germany on the
same lines as has been done with Great
Britar'n and France."
. T$ ietter.
The president's letter follows.
"Replying to your letter of Febrpary
'17 1 have the pleasure of, drawing
'your~aMietieg to the history of the
events w.blho lead 'up to the negoti
ations of the, ,iltration treaties now
Jtlaidat at .my speech. In
Decsmber 11 ore the American
Society for the Settlement of Inter
national Disputes. I said: 'If now we
can negotiate and put through a
positive agreement with some great
nation to abide by the adjudication of
an international arbitral cpurt in
every issue .rhich cannot be settled by
negotiati0Q, no matter what It Involves,
whether honor, territory or money, we
shall have emade a long step toward
demonstrating that it is possible for
two nations at least to establish be
tween them the same system of due
process of law that exists between
Inrviduals under a government.'
"This statement was followed by a
prompt and equally public announce
ment by France and Great Britain of
their willinlpees to enter Into negotl
atlons looking to the conclusion of
such a treaty. No other countries
have responded to this suggestion, this
government submitted to Great Britain
and France, as a basis of negotiations,
a tentative draft of a treaty, the sub
stance of which was published in May,
1911, with the announcement that the
United States was prepared to enter
upon similar negotiations with other
nations.
"Subsequently the diplomastle repre
sentatives of Germany and of several
other countries havq requested and
were grven copies of the tentative
drpf, but the negotiations with Ger
mtny. as well as similar negotiations
with other powers, have been tem
porarily held in abeyance, pending the
fin~l action of the senate upon treaties
with Great Britain and France.
"The German government equally
with this government regarded the
temporary suspension of negotiations

A2ED
PRESIDENT TAFT RECOMMENDS
THAT SECOND-CLASS MATTER
(1 TAXED MORE.
NEWSPAPERS INCLUDED
One Cent a Pewnd is Declared by
Postmaster General Hitehoeek to ie
Not Enough and the Rate Will Be
Doulted If the Special Message is
Heeded by Congress.
Washington, Peb. 22.-President
Taft today approved and forwarded
to congress the report of the commis
lion on second-class mall matter and
recommending that the postal rate on
magasines and newspapers be raised
from one cent to two pents a pound.
Postmaster General Ritchcock orig-.
inally recommended a four-cent rate,
but later bchanged this to two. The
oommission finds that the cost of
handllng second-class matter Is about
five and a half cents a pound. In
approving the two-cent rate, however.
President Taft declares that' the bust
neas enterprises of the ptrbllshers of
periodicals have been built up on the
basis of the one-cent rate, and there
fore it would be manifestly unfair to
put into immediate effect a larger in
crease in postage.
As to the effect of the proposed in
crease from one to two cents a pound
Prel4ent Taft quotes from the re
port of the postal cOmmission, the
followlng paragraph:
"'Such an inerease will not, In the
opinion of fte lcommlssion, bring dis
tress upon the publishers of news
papers and periodicals, or seriously
Interfere with the dissemination of
useful news or Information. A rea
sonable time should be allowed aft:r
the rate is fixed, before It is put into
effect. While the news rate will oe
very far from compensating the gov
ernment for the carriage and handling
of second-class matter it will to some
extent relieve the existing burden and
result In a more equitable adjustment
of rates."
That newspapers and magazines have
been potent agencles for the dissem
ination of public intelligence and con
sequently .have borne a worthy pact
in the development of the country,
Mr. Taft s4ys, all must admit.
"But," he adds, "it Is likewise true
that the original purpose of congress
In providing for them a subvention by
way of nominal postal charges in con
sideration of their value as mediums
of public Informatidn ought not to
prevent an Increase, because they are
now not only educational, but high.
1) profitable. There is no warrant
for the great disparity between ex
latirr postage rates on periodicals and
the coat o( the serliee the govern
ment performs for them. The aggre
gate postal revenues for the fiscal
yeg" 1911 were $287,879,828.60, derived
mainly from the postage collected on
the four classes of mail matter. It
is carefully estimated by the postofflce
department that the revenue derived
from mail matter of the first-class is
approximately one and one-half times
the cost of handling ael .. '...'"
tthat the returns from third and
fourth-class matter are :licghtly in ex
cess of their cost of handling and
carllage; and that whtle second-class
matter embraces over Gi per .cent of
the entire weight of all the mail

Billings, Feb. 22.-(Bpeclal.)-Theo.
dora Roosevelt was Indorsed by the
progressilve republicans of Montana
for republican nominee for president
of the United States, and Senator
Joseph M. Dixon was indorsed for re
election In the conference held in this
city this evening.
A platform emnracing practically all
the principles advanced by the Na
tional Progresslve Republican ieagun
was adopted by the Montana Progres
slve Republican league. The platform
as adopted by the national organlsa
tion went oq record as desiring to be
come affiliated with the national or
ganisation. A resolution was passed
instructing the secretary to send a
telegram to Senator La Follette, ex
pressing sympathy in his present ill
ness and stating that the progressives
of Montana recognize him as the
pioneer of progresslves and one of the
ablest modern constructive statesmen.
A telegram was also sent to Sen
ator Dixon congratulating him on the
birth last night of a son.
About 200 progressive republicans
from 14 counties of Montana gathered
in Kennedy hall at 2 o'clock tills after
noon to hold a conference for the pur
pose of organising the progressive re,
publican party In Montana and to
adopt a platform.
The meeting was called to order by
Chris Yegen, chairman of the commit
tee which issued the call. George D.
Horkan of Forsyth, 'was nominated by
John M6Laughlin of Ravalil, for tem
porary chairman of the meeting and
was unanimously chosen. He was es
corted to .the platform by Mr. Mc
Laughlin. The chairman expressed
pleasure at being chosen to preside
over the first meeting bf the "real
progressive republicans" in the state
of Montana.
Mr. Horkan expressed the purposes
of the meeting as he understood them
to be to throw off the "yoke of bossism
and standpatlsm" from the bodles of
the republicans of the state.
"It has been stated," said Mr. Hor
kan, 'by some, that this conference
was called for the purpose of creating
factions in the progressive republican
party of the state, but this statement
I want to emphatically deny. I doubt
very much the sincerity of those who
have made the statement "
R. W. Fisher of Ravulli county, war
nominated by James R. (loss of Bil
lings, for temporary secretury and
ulnalnlllo:sly chosen.
He was escorted to the platform by
W. P. Meyers of Red ludge and F. J.
Idvwards of Helena. He made a short
talk Indorsing what had been said by
the chairman.
J. H. Nibbeg or Billings was elected
assistant temporary secretary and es
corted to the platform by John C.
Lryndes of Rosebud county and J. H.
Johnson of Billings. He expressed
hearty appreciation of the "keynotetd'
dress" of Mr. Horkan and stated that
the progressives must work to combat
the Influenc o .o;zl;arats which
dominate the state.
After considerable discussion it was
voted that the chair should allow the
representatives from each of the
counties to select one member to act
on each of three comlmlttees--plhtform
and resolutions, permanent organisa
