State Printer and State Binder Chosen
for Another Term.
SENATOR TALKS ON CORPORATIONS
BUI Introduced In the Legislature te
Pay a Ronnty far the Killing; of
Rattlesnakes Doctor's Cer
tlfleate Is Revoked.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DF.8 MOINES. Jan. 21.-(8peclal.) Once
more Senator Cummins was voted on for
senator today, this time In the Joint con
vention of the general assembly of Iowa.
Despite the fsct there was not a particle
of reason for having the bellot taken
again the members acquiesced in the mo
Hon to take a ballot and of course all
the republicans voted for Cummins, aftet
which President Clark declared him
elected.
At the same convention Emory Kngllso
was re-elected state printer and E. D.
Chassell state binder for two years from
January 1, 1911.
On being escorted to the desk of the pre
siding officer Senator Cummins spoke feel
ingly hla thanks to the members and con
gratulated them on representing the state
of Iowa. He gave high praise to the mes
sage of the governor to the legislature re
cently delivered and the Inaugural address
of the new governor to the people of the
slate. Senator Cummins also turned to
national questions and Indicated by his
address that he regards some of these new
problems as most momentous. He discuss'
postal savings banks, child labor and other
questions and pointed out how It will be
necessary either to amend the constitution
or to firmly establish that broad Interpre
tation of the constitution that will warrant
congress in handling these questions.
Corporation Problem.
The most serious menace In our indus
trial affairs Is the tendency toward the
absorption bv a single corporation of lta
competitors In manufacture or in business,
with a resulting monopoly. I think we will
nil agree that the ninety millions of peo
ple who compose the American republic
must not be required to resort to a single
seller for any product, or be limited to a
sinaie nuver ror any prouuci.
Monopoly
I in any important tning nan
alwaya been
and is now an Intolerable condition, in
the very nature of things the states can
not furnish the remedy, whatever it may
he, which will protect us against the ten
dency so marked In these modern times.
When vou turn to congress for relief, it
must find its sole authority to act In that
single phrase, "the regulation of corn
mo,. UtvBpn the states." It Is clear
that In order to prevent the thing whlchj
we condemn, we must uegiu wmi mc
ganlzatlon of the corporation. Wc must
be able to require a proper capitalization.
We must be able to limit the operations of
the corporation when once created. And
as I flew the sub.lect. the next tew years
will demand a constitutions! Interpretation
compared with which the liberality of for
mer years was plain and literal.
Many New Bills.
Not a great amount of business was done
In the regular sessions of the two houses,
the most Important being new bills.
Senator Qulgley Introduced a bill provid
ing a 60-cent bounty on raitiesnaKes on
presentation of the rattles to ine county
auditor. He is a democrat, who last year
beat Senator Newberry after Newberry
came near dying from effects of a snake
bite.
Senator Fltchpatrlck Introduced the bill
for an annual report of aU corporations
and if these r reports are not forthcoming
then the corporation charters are to be for
feited. An annual fee is also required,
ranging from $10 to $26, which would add
perhaps $1,000 a year to the revenue of the
state. The bill was recommended in the
governor's message.
Another revenue measure was by Senator
Gillilland, providing for a direct Inherit
ance tax, on a graded scale, and this would
bring In another $100,000 a year revenue.
He drew the similar bill of two years ago,
but this bill exempts real estate.
Senator Allen introduced a bill to change
the burden of proof aa to the ability of a
railroad to furnish cars when cars are
wanted so that the railroad will have to
furnish cars or show Its Inability to do so.

TAFT ADOPTED BY GEORGIA
Augustans Say He Wai Resident of
Their City When Elected.
OVATION AT MASS MEETING
President-Fleet Kays He Is Delighted
with His "lay In SouthSpeaka
at Banquet la the
Evening.
AUOt'STA, Jan. Zl.-Rlchmond county,
Georgia, yesterday modestly proclaimed
William H. Taft as its own that he was a
resident of Augusta when the presidential
electors in the various states declared him
to be the president-elect that as such he
waa a Georgian by birth and had lived
where he was born all of his presidential
life.
Thousands of Augustana clinched this
claim with a shout of approval, as Major
J. C. C Black said many other compli
mentary things about Mr. Taft In present
ing him to the great mass meeting which
had assembled around the aame stage,
from which President McKlnley once spoke.
The big street meeting, however, waa by
o means the extent of the festivities.
There was a banquet tonight at "The Ter
race," where were brought together the
distinguished men of Georgia and South
Carolina.
After midnight, when it waa all over,
Augusta had shown to Mr. Taft an ap
preciation of his presence, an understand
ing of his position and admiration for his
personality; and to the south and to the
country, the little city had modestly made
Its bow aa a graceful entertainer of ths
great.
Delighted with Aagasta.
..What the president-elect thought of it all
is best told in his words to the people
whom he addressed aa "My fellow citizens
of Augusta." It was his delight that the
combination of fate, good sense and Judge
ment had brought him to live for six weeks
In Augusta. He had come In search of
health and happiness; he had found both,
he would take both away with him and
leave Augusta no poorer thereby. It was
here for the first time In a full year he
had had the pleasure of a complete family
gathering. The weather had been auch
that he had not, he aald, missed a single
day from the golf links, but he had come
here ulso to make his cabinet, the difficul
ties, only those of his hearera knew who
had ever had cablneta to make.
"Bui," ha added, aa the sum total of
information In thia direction, "we will
get along some way with regards to my
cabinet But It Is the first time that
that kind of a duty has been thrust upon
me and I have been Just waiting in thla
healthy atmoaphere to get good and
retdy."
M: Taft dwelt upon the happy moral,
industrial, racial and financial condition
of tha city. He waa indebted to all the
citizens for Its kindly and hospitable wel
come. I. Ikes All Southerners.
"I have had the pleasure of meeting
your farmers and your capitalists, your
ministers and your laymen, your lawyers
and your clients and I like them all. I
have been banqueted, I have fished I
didn't catch any have automobiled, I
have ridden, I have played golf. I have
m?t your beautiful women and I have
enjoyed the sparkle of tha wit and humor
and pleasure of your bright men. I en
Joy the good Judgment which brought me
to August."
Turning his attention to the political
phase of his visit south, Mr. Taft was
not. he said, excited aa some seemed to
be about the result. "If I can convince
the southern people that this administra
tion Is aa much concerned with the wel

with emphasis, "as 1 with the wICji,
of the people of other m-ctlon, I haw

A tribute was paid M the memo;y of
McKlnley, encouraging v.a Wf r.
spoker to the sentlr.t.ntal n:l Industilal
side of the south. Mr Taft spoke of tiu
oriental trade of thl muntry and tin
great Interert of the south In that mat
ter because of the cotton commerce. Ho
hoped that one of the results of lil ad
ministration would be greatly to Improve
trade In that direction. He concluded with
again giving thanks for his treatment
and promising to come again.
The banquet tonight, was attended by
more than 200 men, the guests of the Au
gusta Chamber of Commerce, and Included
John D. Rockefeller, Governor Ansel if
Sbuth Carolina and many other of iliiln,--tton
assembled to add to the brilliancy and
contribute to fhe oratory of the occasl.ui
Georgia was toasted by Judge Henry C.
Hammond, South Carolina by Governor
Ansel, tho southern press by T. W. Luy-'
less and Augusta by Judge Joseph it.
Lamar.
South Interested In Foreign Affairs,
That Mr. Taft had urged the south t"
resume its old seat at the council table of
the nation, led Judge Lamar to dine us
some of the more serious problems which
confront the viuth. With cotton securtly
enthroned as king, he said, the a.iuth was
even more Interested In the foreign policy
of the government than was Plttsbu'g wiili
its ateel, Chicago with Its meat pioducH
and the west with Its grain. The south
wanted the open door kept open, wanted
the peace of the world maintained and the
efficiency of the consular service cxtendtJ.
The Importance of the foreign situation.
Mr. Lamar emphasized by the emphatic
assertion that the cotton exports exceeded
those of corn, wheat. Iron, steel and petro
leum and oil products, and consequently
brought more- foreign money to this coun
try than all the products combined.
The negro farmer ' of Georgia and tho
south, he said, was poorer this year be
cause of conditions In Asia, likewise many
a man at this dinner had found his pros
perity lessened from the same cause.
Aa to the tariff Judge Lamar remarked
that as interest In high tariff seemed to
wane In the north it begins to grow In the
south. Legislation or reciprocal arrange
ment was needed for the protection ut
cottonseed and Its products, the clays, lum
ber and naval stores, all products of the
south.
Mr. Taft, the last speaker, voiced again
his cordiality and feeling for the south.
Although William H. Taft and John D.
Rockefeller have been guests of tho Bon
Air hotel since Monday, It was 8:40 o'clock
tonight at the banquet when they first m?t,
Mr. Rockefeller had for some lime been
holding an informal reception at which the
arriving guests had been eager attendants.
When Mr. Taft arrived he established him
self a ahort distance from Mr. Rockefeller
In tha hotel assembly room. At once tho
crowd began to desert the oil magnate a.ul
assemble around Mr. Taft.
Mr. Rockefeller was taken by the hand
by C. A. Woods, manager of the hotel tnd
formally presented to Mr. Tafl.
"How are you Mr. Rockefeller?" was ihc
aalutatlon of Mr. Taft. "I got around tin
golf links In eighty-eight today."
"I wanted to hear you speak this af.er
noon," was the reply of Mr. Rockc.'olU:-,
"but I could not get near nougii."
This ended the Interview, oh the cil.tr
guests piested forward for an hitr-i Iuct!on
to Mr. Taft.
