AS TO BE VISION OF THE TABIFF Demands a Definite Opinion on State Railroad Legislation in the South. GEORGETOWN, Ohio. August 22 -In hfs first address after the Columbus speech of Secretary of War Taft United States Senntor Foraker, before the Chautauqua assembly here yesterday, discussed his fellowtownsman's opinions, with which he differed In many particulars. Quoting freely from the speech of the Secrrtary of War and from his own remarks In the debates in Congress, Senator Foraker expressed his opinion on the Vnri oux puouc (UHcuHwa ny Mr. rail. In the course of his speech Mr. Foraker said: "All the provisions of the Hepburn rate bill specifically mentioned by Secretary Taft in his commendation of that measure, except the ratemaking provision, were Incorporated in that bill by the Senate?most of them with my active assistance and some of them upon my own motion. The bill as it came from the House was a very Imperfect measure. "The Interstate commerce committee of the Senate recognized this fact, but a majority of that committee, acting under instructions that should never have 'been K.ven, refussd to allow any amendment whatever to be made in the committee, and it was only after a parliamentary contest upon almost every point that the amend ments that were finally adopted were made I In the open S?nate. "If the bill bad been put through the Sen- ! ate as It was put through the House and the Senate committee, under orders to allow no amendments whatever, it would have been without any redeeming features whatever, except such as the fri -nds of that proposition may claim to find in the provision conferring the rat?making power on the interstate commerce commission. He Opposed That Proposition. "It was to that proposition I was unalterably opposed. "The objection to conferring the ratemaking power upon the interstate commerce commission is not, in my opinion, <-> mimoroil Kv Uo^rotarv Ta ft "He makes no answer to the suggestion that the three powers of government?the legislative, the executive and the Judicialare all conferred on the commission, and that this commingling of these powers is unprecedented and in violation of both the spirit and the letter of the Constitution. "X have contended that, so far as I have yet been informed, there has been no lowering of rates since the Hepburn law was passed whereby the shippers of Ohio have been benefited, except only Huch as would have been made in all probability if the Hepburn law had never been passed. On the contrary, since the Hepburn rate law was passed the majority of their rates have been advanced. Very few, if any, have been lowered. The rmrnose of the Elkins law was to give the shippers of the country a speedy remedy against rebates and discriminations of every kind and character and absolutely to break up and destroy such practices. "There was much doubt expressed in the Senate committee as to the wisdom of following the recommendation of the interstate commerce commissioners to repeal the imprisonment clause. "At any rate, after nearly twenty years | of experience, there was no case of wicoess- i ful prosecut'on for any offense punishable | by imprisonment, and there had been no ) case of imprisonment. The law was in j that particular a dead' letter. All this ! seemed reason enough for the change. "Inasmuch a-s the Secretary entertains the views he so expresses as to the d:ffl- : culty of convictions In auch cases, and inasmuch as the interstate commerce commissioners. for precisely the same reason as given by the Secretary, recommend the abolition of punishment by imprisonment as THE! WW?- 1 K 5 ' - " " -= . * > ^T* jfc'*\* v' ' '^C*?/''-, :'= - ' *- -igE&fe ?%7- " ';# *V*? f- - :*-; c .- -I;? ^4-s.?, ?> ?.'-> vjSr -. ?&;. ~ >. t rv' "Well, Mr. Rockefeller is r sane all right Hang me if 1 feel S Mln this superb spot I CStTfUOMT. 1907. BY THE NEW part of the Elkins law. the charge of the Secretary, made by Implication at least, that the Elkins law, especially in the matter of ai>olishlng imprisonment, was 4 railroad measure 1b without the slightest excuse 01 Justification. Nobody has ever claimed that the Elkins law was perfect. But. while he seeks to disparage the Elkins law, yet he admits that all prosecutions down until this time have been under It, 'because these prosecutions were for offenses committed prior to the Hepburn rate law,' and then says that 'criminal prosecutions will continue to bo under the Elkins law, but as amended by the new rate bin." Cites More Than 100 Cases. "In more than 100 prosecutions the Blkins law as originally enacted has been found a quick, decisive, efficient and Inexpensive remedy. "No amendment of the EHklns law by the provisions of the Hepburn rate law has Vuion invrwlr/wl 4 n on v r\f tVineu nrnrA?Hlrifra In fact, the most troublesome difficulties of all the cases under the Elkins law arose and were brought to a final and successful determination before the Hepburn rate law was enacted. "The Secretary a'.so seeks to create the impression that the railroads unitedly opposed the passage of the Hepburn rate law and that they spent a large amount of money and made great efforts to defeat It. "If my recollection be not at fault the Pennsylvania railroad, the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and perhaps a numm-r or omer ranroaas iavoreu mc Hepburn Wll. Cutting off passes was a'one worth millions to the railroads. Posftive prohibition of retinites and dlscriminat ons was worth still other millions. The great trouble about the legislation i's not in Its details, hut bas'c. involving an important principle and policy." Senator Foraker spoke of his recent public requests that Secretary Taft give a bill of particulars as to hfs tariff revision reviews and. declaring the Columbus speech not sufficiently "luminous on this point," continued: -"One who was able a year ago to declare hlmse'f unqualifiedly in .favor of an immediate revision at that tftne should be able now to give some specifications as to what then prompted him to make such a declaration. But, Instead, we r>re told that he merely assumes that the cost of production in this country has so far diminished siYice the Dingley law was passed that the duties now in force arc higher than necessary to cover the difference In the cost of labor here and abroad. Assuming for the sake of argument that he Is correct In his contention that the difference In labor, and that difference alone, should fix the duty, he f-i-iiR to overlook the fact that the duties fixed by the EHngley law were, In the judgment of the Congress that enacted that statute, no higher when they were fixed than was necessary to cover that differential. and that the duiles then fixed, if that rule is to povern. cannot be high enough now. for it Is common knowledge that the cost of all kinds of labor has In the meanwh;"ie advanced ifrom to SO per cent In this country. wKhout any corresponding advance in foreign countries. Scouts Second Reason. "For a second reason for Immediate revision we are told that a majority of the members of the National Manufacturers' Association nave declared themselves In favor of a revision of the tariff. "In the first place, this action of this association could not have Influenced tlie Secretary when he spoke at Bath one year ago, for it was taken only a few weeks ago. Except his assumption and this action of this association, the Secretary practically assigns no other reason why the tariff should be revised, except only that revision must come some time, and that if we do not revise the democrats may. "What I contend for is that before any such revision Is entered upon the people sholl be heard on the subject, and I have already suggested that pueh a step should not be taken until after we have a chance to consult them In the presidential campaign of next year." uenaior roraner caneu on llif secretary to say what In his opinion the chief exeeu- ' tive "should do about the defiant nullification of the war amendments to the Constitution involved in such statutes as that passed in Georgia only a few days ago. He is properly in favor of doing all in our power for the 8,(100,000 of brown people in the Philippines, who were until recently entire strangers and open enemies. But how about the 10.000,000 of black people in ! America, not one of whom ever drew a j disloyal breath, who are openly and defl- t antly being denied their constitutional | rights of citizenship. Is there no power to ! prevent such an offense against human rights and such an overthrow of our organic law? "But I would know also what the views r\f n oon'ra nt fn tho nrf-aMonov m?-???

"Ten Karat" Solid In Eves of Law, Though It Is a Long Way From Pare. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The term "solid gold" has been the cause of much discussion on the part of manufacturers of sold articles and of much misapprehension on the part of the public for some time past, and the recent law fixing the commercial definition of the phrase le welcomed on all sides. According to this law ten-karat gold is the commercial "solid gold." and all articles containing more alloy than this, or all articles with parts which contain more alloy, are henceforth to be known as plated, nlled or rolled gold, and must be so marked by the manufacturer. For example, a pin W Ull LUy Ul r>UUU gOlU, PVt'II W I lie VHIUO of eighteen karats, cannot legally be called solid If hinge hook or pin Is not ten-karat gold; while another pin of ten karats throughout, though of much less intrinsic value than that of eighteen karats, Is legally "solid gold." This law was made to protect the manufacturing Jewelers against the makers and sellers of "phony" Jewelry, and has been heartily Indorsed by the legitimate trade all over the United States. "Solid Gold" Misnomer. "It is a law which we hav? long needed." said a St. Louis wholesale Jeweller, "but solid gold Is a misnomer, and I for one should be very glad to see the term abandoned and the value stamp used In Its place. Commercially speaking, there never was such a thing as 'solid gold'?at least not (or the last 200 or 300 years. Some of the ancient Jewelry of the Roman and the renaissance periods was made of pure gold, worked up by hand with the crudest tools, and that Is, of course, of far greater vsiiue on account of the purity of the material as well as its quaint and beautiful workmanship and its antiquity than any modern products of the goldsmith's art. "But alloy has been used to a constantly increasing extent since, because teweierR found that the harder the gold was rendered by good alloy the greater lie wearing qualities and the more secure, therefore, the setting of the gems It contained. Our jewelry now Is of eighteen, fourteen or ten karats, according to the design and character of the article, and it is much more frequently ten than eighteen. Acquirement of the Law. "The law requires us to mark on the article itself or on the card which it is attached th? exact value of the gold In all the parts, just as the food manufacturers are now obliged to state the Ingredients of the package on th? label, and a heavy penalty is attached to the use of the words 'solid gold' If any part of the article contains less than ten karats of gold. "There is a Jill now being prepared to be Mill vuu\.cu ai tnc IICAI v^vngirso iu auuiiffii the use of this term and substitute the karat stamp for it, and both wholesale and retail jewelers over the country will work haanl for its passage. We believe the term is calculated to deceive, even when carefully explained. This bill, if passed, will require manufacturers to stamp all gold articles with the number of karats registered. Half a karat will be allowed for errors, but the manufacturers will have to see that the gold comes within this limit. This would be a great help to the buying public as well as to us, for then everybody could see at once what he is getting ar.d there would not be so many chances for a comeback at us."
