resentative Kahn of California,
In an address reviewing Presl
dent Taft's Administration.
I-
••••••••••••A*************
The record of President Taft's ad
ministration is one of splendid achieve
ment.
His administration has broken all
records for prosecutions brought and
von under the Sherman anti-trust law.
Without fear or favor it has brought
to the bar of justice corporations and
persons engaging In illegal combina
tions in restraint of trade, the ulti
mate purpose of each combination be
ing to create a monopoly and to raise
the prices on its products. In two
years and eleven months of his ad
ministration President Taft caused
be instituted twenty-two civil suits
and forty criminal suiva against il
legal trusts. Roosevelt, in the seven
and a half years of his presidency,
only instituted forty four suits against
illegal combinations.
Under President Tatt's administra
tion the great Sugar trust frauds were
unearthed resulting h, the forced res
titution of millions of debars into the
national treasury. These frauds,
which were based upon the bribery of
customs officials to dishonestly value
imports of sugar were in progress
during the last administration, but
were not detected uo.il Taft became
president.
Corporation Tax.
President Taft suggested and se
cured the enactment of a law impos
ing a tax upon corporations which
adds $30,000,000 annually to the reve
nues of the government.
He advocated and approved the law
establishing postal saving banks.
These banks are now the depositories
of many millions of dollars and afford
to people of small means in remote lo
calities an easy and safe method of
.accumulating mpney.
JJlider his direction there has been
an investigation of the excessive and
unfair charges of the express com
-•panies and a complete rearrangement
-of rates ordered.
Railroads have been prevented from
•putting rale increases into effect with
•out the app-oval of the interstate com
merce commission. While this legis
lation was per']nig ?n effort^ was jn^Je
by certain trunk lines To Increase
rates. A temporary injunction was
immediately obtained by the attorney
general, and hy agreement with the
railroad presidents they did not put
the increases into effect but waited
for the enactment of the law. They
then applied to the interstate com
lverce commission for permission, un
der the new law. to ma he the increase.

Under President Taft's administra
tion the Panama canal will be com

several visits to the isthmus in order
to personally assure himself that the
work was being prosecuted honestly
and vigorously.
An Income tax amendment to the
federal constitution has been sub
mitted to the states and now lacks
only the affirmative action of the
legislatures of three or four additional
states to become a part of the fun
damental law of the land.
Tariff Revised Downward.
4. 'J The tariff has been revised down

articles admitted duty free was ln

creased. No American Industry has
been crippled and not one American
workman has been thrown out of em
ployment by reason of Its enactment
Believing that the schedules might be
still further revised, President Taft
created the tariff board, an organ izap
tlen of experts, who dealt with the
tariff problem from a business point
9f view and who suggested further
changes. The Democratic house of
representatives ignored these well
Considered recommendations and also
legislated the tariff board out of ex
istence. The tariff bills vetoed by
President Taft were framed by a com
mittee of fourteen Democrats, eleven
of whom are lawyers and the other
three have had no business expert
once.
President Taft has enforced the em
ployer's liability act and approved the
extension of its provisions so that em
ployes of railroad carriers may bring
suits in any district in which the de
fendant was doing business at the
time of the commencement of the
action.
These are a few—and only a few—
of the great achievements of Presi
dent Taft's administration. It is a
record unequalled by any president,
and the work has all been done with
out self-glorification and in a modest
and effective way.
DEMAND FOR LABOR
Unprecedented Prosperity In the
United States Sends Up a Call
From Ocean to Ocean for
Unskilled Labor.
The demand for unskilled labor
never was so great in the United
States as it is at present. There is
also a large and general demand for
skilled labor in many important lines.
The cry has gone tip rrom New
York state and extends south along
the Atlantic coast, across the south
line of the Union to California, up the
Pacific coast to Seattle, and back
across the heart of the country from
Kansas City to St.. Louis, to Chicago,
to Detroit, to Pittsburgh.
Everywhere laborers are needed in
the harvests, the forests, the mines,
the factories, the mills on the rail
roads, for the construction of public
highways and in our great industrial
centers.
Even within a hundred-mile radius
of New, York city the call is no less
Insistent. Labor agencies cannot sap
ply the demand there. Contractors
need manual labor for aqueducts, tun
nels, building excavations. There is
work for every man willing to take
pick and shovel and utilize the oppor
tunity to earn a daily wage whose
minimum is $1.75.
Can anyone doubt that it is this con
dition of universally employed Tabor
which is responsible for the high
prices for farm products—prices
which are giving the American term
er the greatest degree of prosperity
he has ever known?
And can anyone believe that these
conditions, either as to laborers or
farmers, would be bettered by a
change in the administration at Wash
ington? Why make a change for the
mere sake of change? "Let sleeping
dogs lie."
A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
President Taft Has Given Good
Government to the People.
From 1SS2 to 1SA2 the ordinary ex
penses of the federal government in
creased at the rate of about 3 per cent
a year. In the succeeding decennial
period they increased about 4 per
cent a year. Under the presidency of
Mr. Roosevelt the annual increase
was almost 6 per cent. Mr. Taft has
not only stopped this annual increase,
which has so long seemed inevitable,
but has actually brought about a de
crease. Under Mr. Roosevelt the or
dinary annual expenses of Ihe pov

"The appearance of the women
workers in this plant," said a member
of the committee, 'was very dis
heartening. They were worn and
pale and their' clothes, faces and
hands were covered with oil .and hemp
cloth. Many of these women, so called,
are only children in age and they have
to lug huge piles of hemp, weighing
ISO pounds each, across the floor, the
load in some cases being bigger than
the women themselves. In the spin
ning room, where women are employ
ed alone, to the exclusion of men, who1
would have to receive higher wages,
the clatter of machinery is so fright
ful that a voice below a shriek cannot
be heard. The rooms are dark, though
for no necessary cause and no at
tempt is made to remove the dust,
which is kept in constant motion by
the line shaftings despite tiie require

breathed continuously by tfhe wonr n,
