BOND ELECTION
NOT CALLED SOON
Not until a meeting ot the board of
county commissioner* I* held will It lie
known when a bond election to provide
fund* for the new courthouee will be
called. Two of the commta*loner» are
out of the city and the other three
hare not expreseed themselves.
It 1* supposed that If the election
ia called It will be before the tax rate
I* fixed, for the funds must be raised
either by bonds or dlreet taxation.
to represent that stock. Thl* process
I* facilitated hr the uncontrolled potter
to issue securities beyond the needs of
the company for Its legitimate bush
ness and would be curbed by the re
striction proposed. The evil ought fur.
ther to be directly restrained by
making It unlawful tor an Interstate
railway to acquire stock In a competing
line. This Is a simpler remedy of meet
ing the evil than by recourse to the
anti-trust law under tho Northern Se
curities case. In addition to this, com-
K lines should be prohibited from
j common directors or officers.
Roads Belittle Rate Bill.
“The opponents of the measure con
tinue to denounce It, but now Instead
of pointing out Ite disastrous effect,
they say it Is a failure and thnt In the
year since Its passage, It has not helped
a single shipper. They Insist that the
only effective and all-sufficient law to
regulate the railways Is the Ktklns
act, passed In 190$, and that thin Is
shown by the fact that nil the prosecu
tion* In which convictions have been
had against rnllway companies and fa
vored shippers In the last two years,
have been under the Kllrins act, land
not under the rate bill. Let ns Ionic
Into the facts In regard to this a|l#a-
tlon. The chief prosecutions which
have been Instituted have been criminal
Indictments ngalnst the sugar trust
and the Standard Oil Companv, and
certain rallwoys and their agent* and
officer* for taking and giving secret
money rebates. They could not have
been brought under the rate bill, be
cause the acts prosecuted were com
mitted before the passage of the rate
bill.
The Elkins Aet.
'It Is true that these prosecutions
wero Instituted under the Elkins act,
but It Is also true that had the Elkins
bill never passed, the same ucts could
and doubtless would hnvc been prose
cuted as giving and receiving unjust
Indiscriminations against the persons
committing them under the amendment
to the Interstate commerce act of 1S89,
which the Elkins low supplanted. The
Elkins law was really an amendment
to the Interstate commerce net, enlarg
ing and making more effective tho
procedure for prosecuting violations of
the pnitilPItl.inx of that law and de
scribing them In more comprehensive
form. It gave greater latitude In re
spect to the district where tho offense
would be prosecuted and It made tho
company necessarily responsible In a
fine for the act of its agents, without
other proof of rtlreft complicity than
the agency,
Rata Bill Rsstorsd Jail Penalty.
In the rate bill, congress amended
the Elkins hill and restored Imprison
ment ns part of the punishment for se
cret rebates. Had the rebating and
dishonest practices of the railroad com
panies and the trusts been ns clearly
known to congress and the public whet:
the Elkins bill was considered, as they
were when the rate bill was passed, the
Elkins hill would not have passed so
smoothly.”
Ths Trusts.
Mr. Taft then took up the trusts and
In reviewing the question he aald:
“Mr. Bryan asks me what I would do
with the trusts. I answer thnt 1 would
restrain unlawful trusts with all the ef
ficiency of Injunctive process nnd would
punish with all the severity of criminal
prosecution every attempt on the part
of aggregated capital through the lllc
gal means 1 have described to suppress
competition.
“There has been great activity In the
department of commerce nnd labor and
In the department of Justice In an effort
to Investigate nml restrain tbo con
tinuance of such unlawful methods, and
the success which has attended this ef
fort In the dissolution of n number of
euop trusts where they consisted of
several companies or partnerships unit,
od bv a contract In restraint of trade
has been gratifying. In the case of
tnose who have made themselves Into
one corporation, their restraint Is more
difficult. It Involves enormous labor on
the part of the government to prosecute
such a combination because the proof
of the gist of the offense Ite* under
neath un almost limitless variety of
transactions. In the outset It can be
very much more easily reached by bill
In equity than In a criminal prosecu
tion nnd the questions of law arising
.lay be more qulrkly settled.
Suppression of Truste.
“Mr. Bryan’s method of suppressing
unlawful trusts would be to require
every person, partnership or corpora
tion engaged In Interstate traffic, to
tuke out u Federal license, and by with,
holding such licenses from Illegal
trusts, he would make them impossible.
It Is probable that a statute embody
ing this plan, could be drawn which
would stand the test of the constitu
tion. It would, however, have to con
tain some provision for ultimate judi
cial determination of those applicants
for license who were violating the anti
trust law and thus Involve the same lit
igation we now have. There Is danger
that Its effect would he so to clog the
channels of legitimate Interstate trade.
Imprisonment of Trust Heads.
“Mr. Bryan Is continually asking why
some of the managers of unlawful
trusts have not been convicted and sent
tr, the penitentiary? I sympathise with
him in his wish that this may be done,
because I think that the imprisonment
of one or two would have a most
healthy effect throughout the country;
but even without such Imprisonment 1
tielteve that the prosecutions which are
now on foot and the Injunctions which
have already been Issued, have hqd a
marked effect on business methods. One
reason for the small number of sen-
lances of Imprisonment In trust prose
cutions 1* that the revelations of un
lawful trust method* and dishonesty
have been chiefly made known In se
cret rebates, and, as I have already
raid, the Elkins act, until amended by
the rate bill, only prescribed flnra us a
mode of punishment In such cases.”
Mr. Taft spoke of the absurdity of
national referendum, and closed with a
few remarks on the tariff, Ita revision
and relation to tha trusts.
SEC’Y TAFT WILL RESIGN
WHILE IN PHILIPPINES
Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 20.—Imme
diately after opening the Phllllp-
plne parliament on October 14.- Seere.
tary Taft will resign the secre
taryship of war. That will complete
his official duties and his resignation
will come hy cable—If It Is not already
In the president'* hands—to take ef
fect at that time.
Leaving the Philippines, he will take
his trip through Russia and Germany,
meeting the exar and tha kaiser merely
as an American citizen and In no of
ficial capacity.
When ho lands on American soil after
practically completing the circuit of
the globe, he will enter Into the cam
paign for the Republican presidential
nomination. This Is the secretary's
program as It became known to Ohio
friends last night and It Is not likely
to bo subjected to any change.
Until he completes his service In the
Philippines, he will travel at govern
ment expense, using United States
transports on pvt of his journey, but
after that he will pay his own way
and go as an ordinary citixen.

“Any effective action on the part of
the government Is always objected to,
ns a matter of course, by the wrong
doers, by the beneficiaries of tho wrong
doers, and by their champions; and
often one of the most effective ways
of nttucklng the notion of the gov

action upon tho ground that It does
not go far enough.
Financial Disturbances.
"During the present trouble with
the stock market I have, of course,
received countless requests nnd
suggestions, public and private,
that I should say or do something
to ense the situation. There Is a
world-wide financial disturbance. It
Is felt In the bourses of Paris and
Berlin, add British consols are
lower than for a generation, while
British railway securities have also
depreciated on the New York
stock exchange, where tho disturb

matters not peculiar to.the United

It may well be that the determina

gentlemen, It will not waver—to
punish certain malefactors of great
wealth, has been responsible for
something of the trouble.
Discredit Administration.
“I believe It to ' the extent of

credit the policy of the government
and thereby secure a reversal of
that policy so that they may en

"They may have misled many

there should be such reversal of

sorry, but it will not alter my atti

as far ns I am concerned nnd for
the eighteen months of my presi

change In the policy we have
steadily pursued or let up In the
effort to secure the honest observ
