Riis called at the White ! House to-day and in discussing this proposition afterward said: —_———— he was a candidate and to which he was not elected.

An exhaustive discussion of the development trusts and monopolies and their effect on business was indulged in by Martin of South Dakota, who has a bill pending to control such organizations.

Ad- ams of this city yesterday flled a petition m bankruptcy in the United States District Court. He owes $1140 and bas no assets the railrcad rate bill was continued in the House to-day. Two speeches, the ef- forts of Campbell of Kansas and Martin of South Dakota, took a wider range and swept the horizon of “trust evils” gen- erally. Bartlett of Georgia, a minority mem- ber of the committee reporting the bill, made a two-hours’ speech, in which he discussed the legal and constitutional questions involved and advocated the passage of the bill as a proper remedy for an intolerable condition. The first speech in opposition to the bill, which concluded the day's discus- sion, was made by Perkins of New York. He based his opposition to Gov- ernment control of rates on an inherent aversion to Government control of busi- ness enterprises. Redtape and fixed con- ditions, he said, were an inseparable part of Government action on any matter. The discussion of the rallroad rate question was opened by Campbell Kansas. With the avowed intention of reaching the Stan@ard Oil Company, Campbell offered an amendment which he will press later, emphasizing the plac- ing of all private car and transportation facilities under the regulation of the In- terstate ~Commerce Commission. He quoted from the testimony of railroad of- ficlals showing that the beef packers practically made their own rates; that the Standard Ofl Company had dictated in the same manner; that poulitry, fruit and dairy products were subject to the $25 Upward. fl—t e CH—Used — Almost is your chance te own “That is the only office for ' which | nocent said interest you VOSE — Mahogany case; discontinued sign ub-olncly’m; reg. price $475. now. . new; 500 le; b e aria 5450 CURTAZ Piano Specials One Hundred Upright.
