FATE OF AVIATION MEET
TO BE DECIDED TODAY
Chamber of Commerce Directors
to Take Action on Matter
This Afternoon
.Plans were completed at a meeting of tha
Aero club of California last night for the mid
winter meet proposed for Eos Angeles. They
■will be presented to the directors of the
chamber of commerce this afternoon by the
aviation committee. Whether the meet will be
held here this winter probably will be defin
itely determined at this meeting. An effort
•will be made to secure the co-operation of the
chamber. - , - „
Suggestions wore made At the meeting of the
club last night that bet'.er results might be
obtained If the exhibition were not held until
In February, when the Christmas and holiday
lush will have ended and more time could
be devoted to the aviation Interests. No ac
tion was taken, however.
Communications were received and read
from Israel' Ludlow regarding the aviation
meets of 1911 in the United States, asking the
co-operation of the California Aero club. It
was decided by the club that no action be
' taken without the sanction of the Aviation
Association of America.
President J. La V. Twining of the local
club stated that a large number of the citi
zens have been Interviewed personally by
himself and by the aviation committee, and
that the majority favor a midwinter meet in
Eos Angeles. He stated that he believed the
exhibition could he held, with good earnest
■work on the part of the club and others In
terested In the work.
J. J. Slavln and W. B. Cannon announced
their Intention of making trial flights at the
motordrome some time today. A committee
from the club win go with the men to the
field to witness the attempt
President Twining of the club was chosen
as club historian and a history will be writ
ten by him In the near future for publication.
Mrs. Twining was elected as assistant his
torian and librarian. It Is the purpose to
have the history of the Aero club published
in book form, which will sell at about $1.50
per volume, and in this way money may be
raised to further work ln experiments of
aeronautic nature.

PRESIDENT TAFT URGES
GENERAL jMPHOVEMENTS
(Continued tram Pago Five)
to purchase an adequate annuity for him on
retirement, this accumulation to be Inalien
ably his and claimable If he leaves the ser
vice before reaching the retirement age, or
by his heirs in case of his death." This la
the principle en which the Glllett bill now
pending is drawn.
The Glllett bill, however, goes farther and
provides that the government shall contrib
ute to the pension fund of those employes
who are now so advanced tn age that their
personal contributions will not be sufficient
to create their annuities before reaching th*
retirement age. In my Judgment this pro
vision should be amended so that the an
nuities of those employes shall be paid out of
th* salaries appropriated for the positions
vacated by retirement, and that the differ
ence between the annuities thus granted and
the salaries may be used for the employment
of efficient clerks at ths lower grades If the
bill can be thus amended 1 recommend It*
passage, as It will Initiate a valuable sys
tem and ultimately result In a great saving
ln th. publlo expenditures.
Commerce Commission
There has not been time to test the benefit
and utility of the amendments to the lnter-
state commerce law contained In the act
approved June 13, 1510. The law as enacted
did not contain all . the features which I
recommend. It did not specifically denounce
as unlawful the purchase by on. of two par
allel and competing roads of the stock of the
other. Nor did It subject to the restraining
Influence of the Interstate commerce com
mission the power of corporations engaged In
operating Interstate railroads to Issue new
stock and bonds; nor did It authorize the
making of temporary agreements between
railroads, limited to thirty days, fixing the
Fame rates for trafflo between the same
places.
I do not press the consideration of any of
these objects upon congress at this session.
The object of the first prevision Is probably
generally covered by the anti-trust law. The
second provision was In the act rcferrerd to
the consideration of a commission to be
appointed by the executive and to report upon
the matter to congress. That commission
has ben appointed and Is now engaged In the
Investigation and consideration of the sues-
tlon submitted under the law. It consists
' of President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale uni
versity as chairman, Frederick C. Strauss,
Professor B. H. Meyer and Walter I* Fisher,
with William E. B. -.iswold as secretary.
The third proposal led to so much miscon
struction of Its object that I am not disposed
to press it for further consideration. It was
Intended to permit railroad companies to
avoid useless rats cutttlng by a mere tem
porary acquiescence In the same rates for
the same service over competing railroads,
with no obligation whatever to maintain
those rate* for any time.
Safety Appliances
Th* protection of railroad employes from
personal Injury Is a subject of the highest
Importance and demands continuing atten
tion. There have been two measures pending
in congress, one for the supervision of boilers
and the ether for the enlargement of danger
ous clearance.
Certainly some measures ought to be adopted
looking to a prevention of accidents from
these causes. It seems to me that with re
spect to boilers a bill might well be drawn
requiring and enforcing by penalty a proper
system of Inspection by the railroad com
panies themselves which would accomplish our
purpose. I suggest that the committee be re
quested to make a special report as to Injuries
from outside clearances and the best method
cf reducing them.
Value of Railroads
The Interstate commerce commission has
recommended appropriations for the purpose
cf enabling It to enter upon a valuation of all
railroads. Tills has always been within the
Jurisdiction of the commission, but the requi
site funds have been wanting. Statistics of
the value of each railroad would be valuable
for many purposes, especially If we ultimately
enact any limitations upon the power of the
Interstate railroads to Issue stocks and bends,
as I hope we may. I think, therefore, that In
order to permit a correct understanding of the
facts It would be wise to make a reasonable
appropriation to enable the Interstate com
merce commission to proceed with due dis
patch to the valuation of all railroads. I have
no doubt that railroad companies themselves
can and will greatly facilitate this valuation
nnd moke It much less costly in time and
money than hriH been supposed.
Fraudulent Bills of Lading
For the protection of our own people and
preservation of our eredl* In foreign trade, I
urge upon congress the immediate enactment
of a law under which one, who with good
faith advances money or credit upon a bill of
Jading issued by a common carrier upon an
interstate or foreign shipper, can hold the
carrier liable for the value of the goods de
scribed in the hill at the valuation specified
In the bill, at least to the extent of th* ad
vance* made In reliance upon It.
Regulations Satisfactory
Except as above, I do not recommend any
amendment to the interstate commerce law as
it stands. I do not now recommend any
amendment to the anti-trust law. In other
words, It seems to me that the existing legis
lation with reference to the regulation of cor
relations and the restraint of their business
has reached a point where v.r can stop for
a while and witness the effect of the vigorous
execution of the laws on the statute books In
restraining the abuses which certainly did
exist and which aroused the public to demand
reform. If this tut develops a need far fur-
5 VOTES MAKE COLORADO
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
SUPREME COURT HEAD
DENVER, Colo., Dec. «.—That W. N. I
Ruby, Justice of the peace of Colorado
Springs, haa been elected chief Justice
of the state supreme court, although he
received but five vote., la the belief of
the state canvassing board, which today
discovered the votes cast, for Bobs' at
the last election.
Chief Justice Steele of the supreme
court died shortly before election and
the governor failed to appoint his suc
cessor, which under the law he was re
quired to do before election. Mono of
tbe political parties nominated a can
didate to fill the unexpired term, their
tickets having been named before the
vacancy caused by Justice Steele's death
occurred, ' '
Kuby, who is a Republican, had Aye
friends write bis name on their ballots
to Oil Steele's unexpired term. As this
Is entirely ln accordance with the law It
is thought Ruby Is entitled to office. The
unexpired term expires January 1.
her legislation, well and good, but until then
et us execute what we have. Due to the re
orm movements of the present decade, there
las undoubtedly been a great Improvement
a business methods and standards and In the
amestness of effort on the part of business
aen to comply with the laws. They are not
eeklng to know the exact limitations upon
uslness methods Imposed by the law, and
hese will doubtless be mads clearer by the
eclslons of the supreme court In cases penci
ls before It.
I believe It to be In the Interest of all the
eople of the country that for the time being
he activities of government, in addition to
nforclng the existing law, be directed toward
he economy of administration and the en
irgement of opportunities for' foreign trade,
he conservation and Improvement of our
grlcultural lands, the building up of home
idustrles, and the strengthening of oonfl
ence of capital In business Investments.
