DENVER TO HEAR SPEECH BY TAFT

Interior Department Affairs to Be Discussed In Colorado. HIS VIEWS ABOUT RAILROADS Executive Expresses Himself as Being In Favor of the Establishment of a Court For the Adjudication of Questions Arising Between Shippers, Consignees and Carriers Omaha Mayor, to Prevent Strike Disorder, Orders Street Cars Kept In Barns. Denver, Sept. 21.—President Taft tonight is scheduled to speak here on matters Involved iu the so-called Pin-chot-Pallinger controversy. It Is expected that his speech will clear away what he states have been misunderstandings with reference to coal lands In Alsaka and other things. The president found Omaha In the throes of a great street car strike. To avoid the possibility of trouble, Mayor James C. Dahlman ordered called off ali attempts to run cars during the president’s stay. The strike did not prevent the gathering of a great crowd in the down town districts and there were times when the president’s automobile had difficulty in making its way through the cheering throng. Talks About the Railroads. In Des Moines Taft Bet forth his Ideas with regard to railroad legislation. He declared iu u speech that he is ip favor of an interstate commerce court, similar to ttie recently estab lished tariff court, to pass on appeals from the interstate commerce commission, to expedite and enforce* decisions. He would increase the powers of the interstate commerce commission, giving it authority to institute as well as hear complaints against unjust rate-, and to suspend or nullify burdensome rules and regulations by railroads. Taft would give the commission povyer to correct evils in classification which has appeared since the establishment of the principle of govern men! rate regulation. The president lias in view also the regulation of stock issues so as to prevent watering and the prohibition of the ownership by one road of the stock of a competing line. He would allow rate agreement between railroads—not "pooling,” he specifies—subject to approval by the Interstate commerce commission. Discusses Anti-Trust Law. In taking up the antitrust law, President Taft said he thought it might be made effective by confining its provisions to combinations having monopoly in view. He declared that he knew of no way in which a distinction could be made between "good" and "bad" trusts, for he regarded all combinations to suppress competition and to maintain a monopoly to be in the same category, whether the terms of the illegal contract should be re garded in some instances as .“reasonable" or “unreasonable ”

EUROPE WAITING FOR RAILROAD REGULATION

Investors Want to Be Insured . Against Financial Juggling. Washington, Sept 21—“ Hundreds of millons of dollars are in England France and Germany awaiting investment in American railroad securities as soon as the investors can be assured of absolute federal regulation. 1 ' This statement was made by Franklin K. Lane of the Interstate commerce commission, who has returned from a trip of nearly three months In Europe. He visited England, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy and studied the railroad situation in all of those countries. “Men of money abroad,” continued Commissioner Lane, are satisfied that America is on the eve of a phenomenal era of prosperity and are ready and anxious to Invest their money In any stable enterprise In this country; but what they want is some assurance from the government that their investments will be protected in a fair way. They would like to see capitalization of our railroads hedged about by federal legislation so that a purchaser of stock would be assured of getting what he paid for. With the enactment of a law

to prevent over-capitalization, American railroads would have no difficulty in obtaining In Europe all the money necessary for their development.”

As chief of the field division directly concerned and because of the tremendous values involved, I felt my personal responsibility most keenly. The evidence Indicated that a great syndicate Is trying to secure a monopoly of this coal, in direct violation of the law. Ultimately I felt myself obliged to appeal to you over the heads of my superior officers in order to bring about the enforcement of the law, which, in a measure, would conserve these coal lands to the people at large. I deemed It my duty to submit the facts to you and I cannot regret my action. “Since there may be now even greater danger that the title to these coal lands will be fraudulently secured Ly the syndicate. It Is no less my duty to my country to make public the facts in my possession concerning which I firmly believe that you have been misled. This I shall do in the near future, with a full sense of the seriousness of my action and with deep and abiding respect for your great office.” Glavis recently was summarily dismissed by Secretary Ballinger because he went directly to the White House with charges involving coal entries in Alaska.
