Statement of Commltsioners.
The statement says:
"lho chief examiner has prejudiced
our case We regret to find thin situ
ntlon and wish he could have waited
until he bad heard our reasons for
asking the suspension of the entire
classification.
"This classification the railroads
hove propoced raises the freight
c harges on 850 subjects between all
points in America west of the ItlMOttTl
inir It has been estimated that
there ire 0i000 towns In this 1 1 rl
lory. One half of then probably are
of minor Importance 1 cat n
more than 1,000,000 raises n it tins
Chicago alone. The same Is true of
Kansas City, lies Moines, St. I.ouls
and every other point west of Chicago.
Think of the vast territory affected
and the millions of rates involved.
"We received notice of this change
Dec. 30 They go Into effect Feb. 15.
It would be a physical impossibility
for any man or board of men to check
this thing over to ascertain the ac tual
effect on traffic.
The result Is a few men will pre
sent a few grievances. The great ship
ping public and the consumers of the
country will not be heard. All we ask
in a suspension of the whole schedule"
for 120 days, as contemplated by the
act to regulate commerce."
Much objection has been made to
the new schedule because of the raise
on agricultural bnpteMeats, farm ma
hinery and accessories
The commimloneis planned to bold
nnother meeting to decide on their
future course.

radatreet'4 Trade Review.
BracUtreet's says: Favorable
weather bus facilitated business opera
tions, especially in jobbing and retail
lines, which report more or less Im
provement. But on the whole trading
is characterised hy small lot buying
and conservatism is very conspicuous,
particularly in the farming sections.
It Is conceded that trade will be late
In developing, later than usual, In
fact. However, better weather condi
lions have enabled traveling sales,
men to S't about more readily and,
as a result, jobbing houses and whole
sale houses have been favored with a
fair volume of mail orders.

ASSAILSRECALL OF JUDGES
Taft Delivers Impassioned Address on
"Nostrums of Reform."
New York, Jan. 30. President Talt
spoke at the Waldorf Astoria to the
Ohio society of New York, delivering
probably the most impassioned speech
he has made in many months, direct
ed against the "nostrums of reform"
ahd particularly aimed at the recall of
judges.
In tho efforts that the president
Baid have been made to reform legis
lation In this country he saw much
that was good. He saw the faults of
the government in the United States
today and admitted that in trying to
eradicate them much might be accom
plished by reformers. But In the ef
fort to make the judiciary responsive
to every "whim" of these people he
saw destruction. He declared that the
conservative element of the nation
eventually must get together to pre
vent a movement that would make the
courts the creatures of popular will
and might make the decision In every
case, not in accord with the law, but In
accord with what a majority of the
peop'e thought the law should be.
