unpoo HOT to think about fuel,” says the householder. A Time flies, and so will the snow, some day, but even if you do not buy immediately—prices are lowest now—why not think about the quality of the fuel you will eventually have to buy? Ask Yourself Some Questions “Do I want a clean fuel which Is free from smoke, soot and dirt?" “Do I want a fuel which Is light, easy to handla, Ignites readily and Is simple to regulate?" “Do I want a fuel which Is long-burning, making frequent firing unnecessary?" “Do I want a fuel which yields more heat per ton than any other solid fuel—a uniform comfort-giving heat, be the weather outside mild or below zero?” “Do I want a fuel which leaves little ash?” “Do I want a fuel which is economical in every way, one that saves on laundry, cleaning and painting bills, and has no waste?” INDIANAPOLIS BY-PRODUCT "The Ideal Fuel" Meets every one of these essentials If you want them no other fuel will satisfy you.

MY OWN STORY “WE’LL GIVE HIM SO MUCH WORK HE CAN’T TROUBLE US" — By ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE "

■'MY OWN STORY'' is n exclusive newspaper version of one of the (,-Teat autobiographies of modern times: La Kollette's own story of adventures in polities as written by himself in 1912, together with an authorized narrative of his experiences in the years since then. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS After two defeats as Progressive candidate for Governor of Wisconsin. La Follette is overwhelmingly nominated and elected in 1900. The political bosses buck the administration program at every turn. At the end of a whirlwind speaking tour throughout Wisconsin. La Follette is re-elected in 1904. He shows that Wisconsin, instead of being retarded by progressive legislation, advances more rapidly than the country as a whole La Follette is elected to the Senate in 1905. but resolves not to quit the governship until his program is carried out. Hut when a special session of the Legislature adjourns La Follette prepares to go to Washington. In making this final decision I was not a little influenced by the urgent letters and interviews with people of prominenence outside of Wisconsin. During that summer I lectured in twenty-five different States and I never went anywhere that leading progressives did not urge me to go to Washington and carry forward the fight on the wider national platform. I remember meeting Colonel Bryan once or twice during the summer. “La Follette,” he said. “I hear you are not going to the Senate. I do hope that is not true. You must go ar.d make the fight there in the public interest.” I found not a little amusement in the treatment by the press of th-a country over my decision to accept the senatorship. Most of the important papers prophesied an early suppression of all my reform notions. Might Cool Off. It was suggested that a few months in the Senate refrigerator, to which I would be promptly consigned, would considerably cool my ardor and give me time for reflection and the adoption of saner, more rational views of business and government. On the evening of Jan. 3. 1906, Mrs. La Follette and I arrived in Washington. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire came to the Raleigh Hotel to call upon us, and I learned from him the proper methods of procedure in presenting my credentials. I had anticipated some departure from precedents owing to the fact that the senior Senator from Wisconsin, John C. Spooner, and I had long been upon opposite sides in the Wisconsin fight, and while it had not been personal in its character, the

struggle had resulted In a very wide division. I did not know how he might feel about conforming to the usual custom of the Senate in presenting my credentials. The next day at 12 o’clock I went, to call on the Vice President, Mr. ! Fairbanks, in his official capacity as president of the Senate; and upon returning to the floor of the Senate, Senator Spooner met me and introduced me to a number of the Senators who were coming in to take their places. Mrs. Bob Along There were twelve or fifteen men In the Senate whom I knew as niemI hers of the House—Burrows, Hop. I kins. Rayner and others. Spooner ! invited me to sit next to him. Mrs. La Follette and other friends were in the gallery. After the divine blessing had been invoked Senator Spooner arose and presented my ctedentials. The Senator offered his arm, I took it, and we marched down to the Vice President's liesk, where the oath of office was administered. I was then escorted to my desk in

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

what was called the Cherokee Strip —a group of seats on the Democratic side of the houso which was then occupied by Republicans, there being at that time sixty-one Republicans in the Senate and only thirtyone Democrats. Thus it came about that at 12:30 o'clock on the fourth day of January, 1906, I found myself occupying a seat on the outskirts of the Democratic side of the Senate as a member of the FiftyNinth Congress. After my election to the Senate I hail received the usual form letter from Senator Hale, chairman of the Committee on Committees, asking me to state my preference as to committee assignments. In my reply I expressed hut one preference—the Committee on Inter state Commerce. I suggested that my interest in the subject of transportation. to which I had given some years of study and Investigation, led me to believe that I could render bet ter service uY>on that committee than upon any other. Not Appointed I had never received any response to that letter, and I was naturallyinterested to know what my assignments were. I need scarcely say that I was not appointed to the Committee on Interstate Commerce. Os all my assignments the Commitfee on Indian Affairs was altogether the best; though I should not overlook the bestowal upon m-s of a chairmanship which carried with it a committee room, a clerk, and a messenger. The title of this committee impressed mo considerably. It was the “Committee to Investigate the Condition of the Potomac River Front. (Select.)" I had Immediate visions of cleaning up the whole Potomac River front until I found that In all Its history the committee had never had

a bill referred to it for consideration, and had never held a meeting. My committee room was reached by going down into the sub-cellar of the Capitol, along a dark winding passage lighted by dim skylights which leaked badly, to a room carvw out of the terrace on the west side of the Capitol. It is scarcely necessary to empha size the very great importance of committee appointments ' in the Senate. They are the gateways of legislation. A powerful committee in secret session has almost autocratic power in deciding what laws shall or shall not be passed; and it is in the committees that the great financial interests of the country have found their securest entrenchment. Os first importance is the great Finance Committee, which has charge of all bills affecting the tariff, currency and banking. Othervery powerful committees are Interstate Commerce, with its control of bills relating to railroads, trusts and combinations, and the Committees on Rules, on Appropriations, on Foreign Relations and on the Judiciary. Routine Work I decided to make the best of my committee appointments. I knew, of course, what they thought when they I laced me on at least three of them: Claims, Indian Affairs and Pensions —"We will give the gentleman so much routine work to do that he will not trouble us at all”—for these committees, more than almost any others, are occupied by a multiplicity of unimportant legislation. But while I resolved to do my duty I determined not to permit my attention to be diverted from the really great and important questions of the day. Upon one of the committees, indeed, that of Indian Affairs, I found immediately most congenial service. My interest in the Indians, awakened during my service in the House of Representatives fifteen years before, had alway-s been active. The most important bill under consideration by that committee was the bill for the settlement of the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes in the Indian Territory, one of the most important provisions of which related to the segregated coal lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. The bill, as passe,) by the House, provided for a continuation and extension of the policy of leasing the coal lands to private 'mining con,pan.es. The Senate committee proposed to an I this provision of the House bil nd provide for the sale of the lands. It was anew question for me, but I went to see the secretary of the interior, and got his views "pon the subject. Controlled by R. R. I then cal It and upon the director of the Geological Survey, and learned that bituminous coal of a very su perior quality had been located upon 413,000 acres of this land. I also discovered that leases covering about 112,000 acres in area, while taken in the name of private coal mining com panics, were really controlled by the railroads of the territory. I found that there was little or no competition in prices, and that the transportation rates for shipments from the mines to the consumers were enormously hfgh. I opposed In committee the sale of these Indian coal lands. Being voted down on that proposition, I proposed such amendments ns seemed to me to better the measure, such, for Instance, as limiting the amount of coal land which could he acquired by any one company; providing for a condition in the deeds making the lands revert to the United States in trust for the Indians when the land went to any rail road corporation or the officers or directors of any railroad corporation. I was, of couse, voted down over whejmingly In the committee on all of these propositions; indeed, as I now remember It, my own was the only vote which I was able to get for any of them. I reserved the right to oppose the committee as to these provisions In any and all respects when the hill should he brought up on the floor of the Senate. The committee smiled a broad smije. I was regarded at that time, I am sure, by every' man upon that committee as a crank, a disturber of peace and prosperity. I knew what was back of that smile. The members of the committee were thinking what the Senate would do to me when I attempted to oppose the action of the committee in selling these coal lands. Well, when the bill came before the Senate I offered amendments which led to a two days’ discussion. Though they were voted down, the whole subject was so effectively aired in the newspapers as a scheme of the railroads and other special Interests connected with them to get hold of the Indian coal lands, that the plan to sell the coal had to be abandoned.
