TAFT IS GUEST OF HOOSIER STATE President Makes Two Addresses at Marion.

TALKS FOR WORLD'S PEACE Speaks at Soldiers' Home on Arbltratier, and Before Bankers and, Editors on Aldrlch Currency Reform Plan. Marios. Ind., July 4. President Taft stopped at Marion on his way to Indianapolis and was the guest of tho city for several hours. He made two speeches, ono at the Marlon Soldiers' home oa arbitration, and another before the Marion bank crs and editors in support of the Aidrich currency reform plan. Ia his arbitration speech President Taft said in part: "I am far from saying that war has cot in times past accomplished much in the ptrgreec of the world. Whether tr.e same progress might have been actlf ved in a more peaceful way it is unnecessary to discuss, probably not. Misguided Patriots Bring on Wars. The tnuk Is. the danger of war between two great well established countries with modern aruiatueu:s Is much lees than that kind of war that arises from bad government or from th ambition of sinister men in a weak government who overturn it. The awful consequences to two heavily armed countries under modern conditions of war have been a great deterrent of war, but tho Irresponsibility of men claiming to be patriots and ieairing to overturn existing governments where law and order aro not well established has led to a great deal .of guerilla warfare and to tho suffering of innocent people who find no real principle involved in the two contending pau-'Jes except that of ambition for power. Much of this kind of work has occurred In South America, and in that degree of guardianship which the United States must feel over the republics of this hemisphere, in maintaining their integrity against European invasion, we oupht to welcome every opportunity which gives us a legitimate Instrument by which we can make less probable such interne tine strife. Envy No Power Its Territory. "In the assertion of that sort of guardianship w have to be very careful to avoid the charge, which is always made b the suspicious, that w e are seeking our own aggrandisement m our interference wiih the affairs of other countries of this hemisphere: It I an unfounded charge, for we envy bo power its territory. V hare enough. Brat we have been able to fend off war In four osr five instances of laue, because of our attitude as an oiler brother of these smaller governments. As , we look back, it will not do to say that great strides have not been made in the direction of universal peace. "Of course the condition of Mexico may well make us beltate to prophesy too strongly as to the future; but all the lovers of mankind hope that the present condition of that country may lead to the establishment of a Arm government and one in which there may not be the occasion for popular unrest as that which gave rise to the recent collision. Ask Three Powers to Form Treaty. 'For the further securing of peace aad as an example to all the world of the possibilities of the use of arbitration, we have Invited England and France and Germany to ask a treaty for the arMtrnsnent tit all differences of an international character that in tbelr nature can be adjudicated, and we hare left out In thU treaty those exceptions which bavo heretofore always been excluded from arbitrable controversies, to-wit: Questions of a nation's honor and of Its vital Interest. "Of course I cannot say with rositiveness that these treaties will all be made and confirmed. I can only say that tho prospect of an agreement with the executive of one of jhe countries Is roasonably sure, and we have every hope as to the other two. and that those three treaties will be followed by many of the same tenor with other countries If the original three are agreed upon and confirmed."

I said I was glad to hear him say so. He said, 'I would like very much to have you arrange to introduce me to Senator Lorlmer. I have never met him. "Then we walked over toward tho entrance of the club and he said: '1 understand the senntor must have been put to more or less expense for this senatorship, and he ought not to stand It The business interests ought to take It off his hands. We would like to contribute!' "I said, I do not know anything about that. I will see about it, and let you know.'" Hines said he did not tell Lorlmer Funk wanted to tontributc.

STEEL REPORT GUT

SMITH SAYS TRUST OWNS 75 PER CENT. OF ALL LAKE ORES. MUCH 'WATER' IS ELIMINATED Strength of United States Corporation Is Shown to Be Due to Its Ownership of Large Portion of Crudo Product. Washington. President Taft tnndo public tho much discussed and long expected report on tho United States Steel corporation submitted to him by tho bureau of corporations. Signed ly Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, tho report makes no recommondatious and is almost wholly narrative In form. Mr. Smith declares thnt restriction of I competition was a prime object of tho organizers of the steel corporation, or so-called "trust." Capitalized nt 11.402.000,000, the cor poration, ho asserts, had tangible property worth only 5GS2.000.OOO. 13y constant reinvestment of earnings, howevor, tho report poluts out, much oi tho "water" in the company has been eliminated. Tho steol corporation now owns 75 per cent, of the lako ores, having recently concentrated its offorts to securing these proportios. On this point the report snys: "Indeed, In so Tar as tho steol corporation's position In the entire iron and steel industries Is of monopolistic character, it is chlolly through its control of ore holdings and the transportation of ore." Discussing in detail how "tho impending struggle of tho giants" was averted almost over night by the formation of tho great combination of combinations, taking In 250 subsidiary companies controlling CO por cent, of the total crude and finished steel production of the country, the report says: "Until 1S0S tho bulk of the business was distributed among a very considerable number of concerns. Thero was sharp competition, modified by frequent pools of greater or less duration and effectiveness." Thon came an era of great combinations, the report continues, wUh capitalizations ranging from $110.000,000 to 5100.000,000. mergers of many smallor companies, which, Instead of eliminating competition, threatened to bring price cutting on n larger scale than ever boforo. In 1S99-1900 there wero three great companies the Carneglo company, Federal Stool nnd Natlonnl Steel dominating tho production of crudo and semi-finished products, nnd j six concerns the American Steel and Wire, American Tin Plate, American Steel Hoop, American Sheet Steel, National Tube and American Bridge controlling tho lighter finished products. This was the period when tho "struggle of the giants" was impending and when tho formation of tho United States Steel corporation was conceived and brought about. All nine of tho companies named wero combined, and later tho Union Steel compnny, the Clalrton Steel company, and, In 1907, tho Tcnnessoo Coal, Iron and Railroad company wero taken over. The promoting syndicate putting tho doal through netted $02,500.000 In cash. Tho commissioner finds that competition, so far as prices aro concerned, has boon modified by tho policy of "co-opcratlon" inaugurated at tho "Gary dinners," about which so much has been said before the congressional steel Investigating committee. The present valuation of tho combine's tangible property Is placed at 51,157,000,000, ns against $1.16S,000,000 outstanding securities, nn Increane of about 4S7.000.000 In property, while only about 506.000,000 has been ndded to capitalization.
