GOOD ROADS FUND SHORT
Kulp Statute Proceeds Not Available
Until March of Next Year.
Des Moines, July 20. The Kulp au
tomobile law will yield but a little
over $15,000 for good roads purposes
op until March of next year, this de
spite the f:ict that the law became
effective July 4. The reason Is this:
Secretary of State Hayward, who
collects the motor car fees, does not
remit fees collected during one month
until the fifteenth day of the following
month, this according to the law.
Hence all fees collected during July
will not, be turned over to the treas
urer of state until Aug. 15.
The Kulp law requires the treasurer
of state to make the apportionment of
the auto fund among the various coun
ties of the state Aug. 1 of this year.
Hence all the fees collected in July
will not be available for the treasurer
when he makes this distribution.
The only money realized from the
new auto law and which he will have
on hand for distribution, Is the sum of
$21,266.18, collected by Secretary of
State Hayward under the new act dur
ing the last two weeks In June. Of
this amount, 15 per cent will be de
ducted to cover the expense of the
6tate in issuing the licenses. The re
maining 85 per cent will be distributed
among all the counties of the state.

FEDERAL CONTROL
FOR CORPORATIONS
Attorney Gensral Favors Com
mission (or This Purpose.
Duluth, Minn., July 20. Gathered In
the spacious banquet hall of the
Spauldlng hotel the delegates to the
Minnesota State Bar association list
ened to an address by Attorney Gen
eral George W. Wlckersham.
Mr. Wlckersham took an advanced
stand on the further federal regulation
of corporations, and said a government
commission to regulate great Indus
trial organizations, In the same way
that the Interstate commerce commis
sion regulates railways, was certainly
most desirable and might be absolute
ly necessary.
Mr. Wlckersham's speech was little
short of sensational In many of Its
features. He declared that it was a
matter of serious consideration wheth
er it would be practical to give to the
proposed interstate corporations com
mission the power to fix prices. To do
this In the ordinary would simply re
quire an extension of the principle by
which the Interstate commerce com
mission controls the rates on railroads.
The law of supply and demand, Mr.
Wlckersham paid, no longer controls
prices In the United States. For years,
he declared, the prices In all the great
staple industries have been fixed by an
agreement between the principal pro
ducers and not by a normal play of
free competition. An interstate com
mission, the attorney general added,
would prevent violations of the anti
trust act and aid business men to
maintain a continued status of har
mony withln-the requirements of law.
Many of Mr. Wlckersham's declara
tions were the most radical he has
made since hfs entrance Into official
life. With the weight of an admin
istration officer behind them, his re
marks made a deep Impression.

today.

sulted with him us to who to deliver
the message to Deneen. -
C. F. Wlehe, secretary of the Ed

election fund.

that Hlnes wffnld be down to Spring
field with all the money necessary for
lorlmer's election. Wlehe said he be
lieved Cook would perjure himself to
Injure Hines.
Wlehe denied he ever heard of the
"Father Green Incident," as-Burgess
related It.. Wlehe. however, recalled
a rumor that Detective Keely of the
state attorney's office In Chicago com
plained to Father Green about the
work assigned to him In the I.orlmer
case and that Keely got Representa
tive Beckemyer drunk and thot Becke
myer was taken down to the redlight

BROWN IS WITH PRESIDENT
Senior Senator From Nebraska 8peaka
In Favor of Reciprocity.
Washington. July 20. Criticism of
his insurgent Republican colleagues In
the senate for opposing Canadian reci
procity and praise of the Democratic
party for "having the moral courage
and patriotism to support and sustain
a Republican president" characterized
a speech of Senator Brown (Neb.) In
luvor of the reciprocity measure.
"I want to express my grief, my pro
found grief," Senator Brown declared,
"because the bill does not have the
support of some of my friends in this
body whom I know at heart are I it
favor of lower duties. I do not com
plain of them. I do not charge them
with Insincerity, because I know them
to bo sincere. But I simply cannot
understand them.
"It Is beyond my comprehension to
appreciate how In one (tension of con
gress I could vote for lower duties. In
the next session favor a revision of
the tariff a schedule at a time and at
a third session be against this proio
sltlon, which, while it Is not a revlslou
of a single srhi'dule. Is a revision of a
few schedules, not with all the coun
tries of the world, but with one coun
try; a plan that I believe marks the
beginning of the end of extortionate
I tariff duties of this country."
