FLINT HANDS ROOT
CALIFORNIA LEMON
Senate Votes to Increase the
Duty to ;JJ4 Cents a
Senator From Southern Part of
the State Worsts His Oppo
nent in Argument
WASHINGTOX. May 31.— More than
two hours were consumed by the senate
in a debate on the proposition to In
creas* th« duty on : ' lemons frOm one
cent a pound, as provided by the Ding
ley law, to \Vt cents a pound, and after
earnest opposition by Mr. Root the
increase recommended ~by /the. con>
mittee was sustained, 43 to 28.
"Without the, compelitldn--of-Cali
fornia growers on the New York mar
ket the price of lemons will' increase,"
said Serktor Flint. ; The x small duty
asked for this industry, he \u25a0 said,
amounted on Email sizes of lemons to
1 cent a dozen; and' without,. this pro
tection against' lemons rrom Sicily, he
argued, the lemon -industry of, Cali
fornia would be wiped out. Its destruc
tion, he asserted, would immediately
cause the price of TemonS in New York
to advance $1 a 'box, as the price of the
foreign supply was only kept down by
the competition^ of the. American
product. "::'\u25a0'" '* "\u25a0 .;*,-•
ROOT OPPOSES IM'REASK
Senator Root made an Impassioned
appeal against any .increase in. the
duty on lemons over the Plngley,law
rate of 1 cent. He said:
"In this Industry last year the
lemon grower* of California have made
en average profit of |530 per acre, with
expenditures amounting to $370. That
was under the present tariff.
"1 would not eliminate the lemon
growers of California or other Ameri
can industry, but It is a little too much
for them to come here and ask an In
crease of duty when they are already
making over 100 per cent."
Mr. Root having referred to the Cali
fornia fruit growers' association, Mr.
Flint asked if it was not an associa
tfon of farmers.
NOT INCORPORATION' OF ANGELS
"It is not an Incorporation of angels,
and If it gets control of our market
and you put up a barrier against the
foreign lemon the white winged farm
er* «f the California fruit growers' as
sociation may yield to the temptation
to get the highest' price that they can
for their product."
•"Does the senator believe that state
mentr* asked Mr, Flint, as Mr. Root
declared that foreign lemons are laid
down In New York at $2.42 a: box.
The New York senator, replying that
fie did believe his own statement. Mr.
Flint responded that In that very mar
ket the price was eown to $1.15 to
tl.Bo a Uox, which fact Mr. Root ac
counted for because the fruit was sold
at auction.
PROFIT BUT 4 PER CEXT
Mr. Flint met the statement of profits
made by lemon growers by declaring
that they have made only 4 per cent
upon their business, and Senator Page
expressed hiß tiope that the duty would
be made high enough to permit Cali
fornia ahd Florida to raise all the
lemons used in this country. -
Mr. Gore, in offering an amendment
placing a duty of 6 cents, a bunch on
bananas, said the republican party had
promised the people a fish, but had
given them a bunch of serpents in
stead. He hoped the people would
give them a nest of scorpions in re
turn. . o.i"-^
"I think I have treed a trust," said
Mr. Gore. "I am convinced there is a
banana trust in this country.". : '* ": ; ";
The amendment 'was defeated.
TILLHAit IX EVIDENCE
The house duty on bacon and hams
end on lard was restored upon motion
of Mr. Aldrich, who withdrew the com
mittee amendments increasing it.
WTien Senator fiawn began speak
ing upon the duty o& bacon and hams
he noticed Senator Tillman conversing
with Mr. Aldrich and protested against
the South Carolina senator diverting
the attention of Mr. Aldrich.
"The senator from Rhode Island Is
regarded by 6O many senators as be
ing the senate itself that the senator
objects lo any one talking to him
while he is speaking.*' retorted Mr.
Tillmtn. * •
"Well, that is a fact," acquiesced Mr.
Bacon.

BUSINESS IS ON
SUBSTANTIAL BASIS
Harriman, While Predicting
Prosperity for Country, Gives
Warning as to Investment
Says Panic of 1907 Was Di
rectly Due to the Judge
Landis Decision
NEW YORK, May 31.— 0n the eve of
hie departure for Europe to visit Paris
and . Vienna, and . possibly Austrian
health resorts recommended to him by
his physicians, E. H. Harriman today
analyzed the conditions \u25a0which- had
made possible the, panic of 1967 and
gave his. reasons:- for 'believing that
whatever dangers had existed for a. re
turn of those conditions were now
passed. Harriman -said;
ON SUBSTANTIAL BASIS
The business of the country is on a
very \u25a0 substantial .basis.' -'All r- that ia
needed •: is a : realization \u25a0on the part of
the -farmers of the preparations for
prosperity. which have been ao. liberally
made. There are now 'more acres un
der cultivation than ever before in the
history of the country/ and if we have
favorable weather \u25a0 and" correspondingly
lar^e crops I- look for happy times.
.There will be a bi*. burst of specu
lation and a rise In the price of every
thing/but these -will quickly grade
down from the top to whatever l«vel
the crops will make logical. I shall
look \u25a0to see the improvemegt in con
dltlon^ go on.
SOUNDS NOTE OP WARMXG
The time is ripe, however. "for a
warning: as to the proper employment
of idle money. We should be careful
that this money be not devoted to the
development ©t fake projects, but. on
the contrary, used in the upbuilding of
real undertakings resting upon solid
foundations*
There was no necessity for the 1907
panic. That panic was d4fectly caused
by the extraordinary Landis decision
and the general attitude prevailing at
the . time against the railroads- and
the corporations generally. There is
no mistake about this. I know what
I am talking about, because I went
through it all. It was a panic of sen
timent—a disaster caused by the fear
of something that did not happen. It
frightened people into withdrawing
their money from circulation..
The next panic will be something
more serious, because It will be due to
shrinkage of business. As far as the
mental attitude of the public Is con
cerned, we are on a saner basis today
than we were in 1907. If we keep
going up, however, and come down. It
will hurt more after we have gone up
three or four stories.
I don't, think that the tariff legisla
tion will be of much importance.
IXVEST3IEXT AVOIDED
The Working- agreement recently en
tered Into between the Northern" Pa
cific,' the Great Northern and the Union
Pacific, by the terms of which all will
use the same tracks from Tacoma to
Vancouver, was cited by Jlr. Harriman
as an example of what might be done
to save unnecessary investment of
capital. . . . \u25a0:-,;. •. '\u25a0;-.
:- Aiquestlon as to the ultimate reduc
tion of the yield of the invested capital
brought' the. reply that 50 years hence
5 per cent dividends would be Consid
ered as remarkable as 10 per cent div
idends are today.
As for listing securities of the Har
riman roads on the Paris bourse and
disposing of $100,000,000 of new bonds
abroad, nothing was further from his
thoughts. •
On the question of ship subsidies,
Mr. Harriman, while not indorsing the
principle of governmental subsidies,
expressed the hope that some day his
lines would be placed on such a foot
ing as to permit them to compete ort
equal terms with lines now subsidized.
"I lose $400,000 or $500,000 every
year," he said, "simply for the pleasure
of flying the stars and stripes 'from
those: boats. I had a chance to sell
them to advantage, but I couldn't
bring myself to having them pass un
der another flag."

OPPOSiBD-TO REDUCTIOX ,
The r '-presldent '.'. put . himself squarely
on record as opposed lto any redaction
in the -standing army. ; He told of « the
prejudiced that [often ; has^ arisen against
the possible aggressions of "a regular
army: and a professional soldiery, and
of the corresponding difficulty ; ; : In
arousing that- love Land pride of .. the
army which expresses itself today, and

ARMY WITHOUT STAIX
"The profession of arms, always has
been an honorable one," he declared.
"All honor to. the regular army of the
United States;- Never in its history has
It had a stain upon its escutcheon."
On the way to Gettysburg from Pitts-*

tracked at York ,for two hours and
during his stay he : made a brief ad
dress, in which he declared again his
hope for. the early enactment \u25a0of a
tariff lew, "if the Lord will only be
good and send some real hot weather
in June."
Four regiments of the regular army
were here to 'participate" in * the ex
ercises. There also was a personal

veterans of the regular, army who
fought in the Gettysburg campaign.

ered from different posts and march
