8 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.
