did plain sewing for others In order that
she might help her husband. Thla made
It neoesaary for Marion to stay out of
school a great deal of the time to help
with the work. The abaent daya were sad
ones to her, as she greatly desired an
education.
She thought about It, planned for It,
and dreamed about the time when she
would be able to attend school as other
girls did. If she could only earn some
money for that purpose! Why could she
not have a fairy god mother like Cin
derella! In helping Mr. Smith she had learned to
sew nicely, and often wondered If she
could earn something for herself that way.
On this particular morning,, her house
work finished, Mrs. Smith told her to rake
the leavea and burn them. As she sat
down a moment a gust of wind brought
a sheet of newspaper to her. She began
looking at the sheet, which proved to be
a part of the Omaha Bee. Glancing It
over ahe read the above ad.
"Oh. If I only could!" ahe cried; and
then the remembrance of Mrs. Smith
checked her for a moment. But what
harm would It do to ask her permission?
With this thought she arose and went
to the bouse. Mrs. Smith, having collected
a little sun due her, was In a good hu
mor, and gave her consent, providing
Marlon would not neglect other duties.
She scoured all the pillows to slecorate
that she had time to do, and she worked
untiringly. To her It waa work of joy,
be cause of the purpose ahe had In work
ing. Every penny was saved for the edu
cation; finishing the common schools, she
went on with higher work.
Those who know her beat say she la an
excellent teacher. To her friends she
often saysi "The little want ad In the
Omaha Bee waa the key to my success."

DES MOINES. Is.. Pept. W -President
Taft spent a little more than four hours
In Pes Moines today, and during that time
breakfasted with United Ptates Senator
Cummins, one of the "Insurgent" lenders
In congress, reviewed an Imposing parade
of nearly 5.000 federal troops engaged In
a military tournament here, and made an
open-air address to an Immense crowd
gathered from all the surrounding country.
n which he discussed In detail the changes
he will recommend to congress In the Inter
stats commerce and anti-trust laws.
The president announced that he would
urge the establishment of an Interstate
commerce court of five members to con
sider appeals from rates fixed by the Inter
state Commerce commission. He also will
recommend legislation to prevent Interstate
railroad companies from owning stock In
a competing linn and compelling roads thus
owning stock to dispose of their holdings
within a given Urns.
Legislation to prevent the over-issue of
stocks and bonds and the watering of
stocks will be strongly recommended, the
president's proposition being that no stocks
or bonds shsll be Issued except by per
mission of the Interstate Commerce com
mission utter an Inquiry has been made Into
their necessity.
(holer of Rontee for Shippers.
The giving to shippers of the cnoice of
rouu-s In the shipment of freight is an
other Important provision which the presi
dent favors. 1
In taking up the anti-trust law President
Taft declared that he knew of no way In
which a distinction could be made between
'good" and "bad" trusts, fur he regarded
all combinations to suppress competition
and to maintain a monopoly to be In the
same calegoiy, whether the terms of Illegal
contract should be regarded In somt In
stances as "reasonable" or "unreason
able." The president also discussed at some
length the proposal to except labor unions
and farmers' organizations from the opera
tion of anti-trust laws. To specifically
except these organ! tations, he declared,
woUd be vicious legislation, but he polnud
a way In which they could be relieved of
sumo of the onerous restrictions now placed
upun them, but at the same time be held
amenable to Injunctions, which form of
procodure he believes adequate to deal with
ny violations by the unions.
The president left hers at 11:18 u. ni. for
Omaha.
PRESIDENT O.N RATE QUESTION
Advocates New Court to Settle Dla-
potes Over Charges.
DES MOINES, la., Sept. 20. President
Taft in his address this morning said:
"Fellow Citizens of Iowa: I have great
pleasure In meeting such a concourse of
citizens of one of the most purely agricul
tural states in the union one which has
enjoyed to the full the prosperity which
has come to the man who has invested hie
money and his labor in the farm fur the
last decade.
"Iowa has come to be a 'state In which
there Is great independence of view, and
In which ths voters exercise' Intelligent dis
crimination with references to candidates
and policies that keeps those who are look
ing for political victories In a cunsiant
state of doubt and anxiety.
"The last general election waa held tn
November of lHOtl,- and resulted in the suc
cess of the republican party in the national
contest. In both chambers of congress the
republicans have a majority and they have
the president. Looking . forward to the
legislation that ought to be expected from
that parly we must refer back to the plat
form upon which the 'parly was .elected.

and at another place. What I wish to
invite your attention to this morning, with
the tariff bill out d? the way for the time
at least. Is what there Is for the republican
party In congress under the promises of
Its platform to do in the coming regular
session."
As to Railway Ratea.
The president then outlined briefly his
well known position with regard to labor
unions and dwelt upon the necessity of
passing at the earliest possible moment
legislation to carry out platform pledger
as to Injunctions. He Bald also that lit
would recommend that congress requm
the railroads to adopt additional safety de
vices to guard the lives of their employes.
"But the legislation with respect to llu
laborer," continued the president, "is not
all the legislation that the republican party
is pledged to. Indtfd, when I look for
ward to the next session and realize how
much there Is to be considered, 1 tremble
lest thesession will not be long enough,
and that It will not be possible to do all
that has been promised."
Mr. Taft detailed the passage of the rail
way rate bill several years ago, in which
the Interstate Commerce commission was
given authority to fix specific rates, and
continued:
"The rate bill has now been In operation
some three years, and it must be admitted
that it has not furnished the relief against
unduly discriminating rates with the ex
pedition and effectiveness which were ex
pected. The republican platform promised
additional legislation in aid of enforcing
the interstate commerce law and I have
been engaged In the consideration of what
I ought to recommend to congress Id order
to Comply with that promise. Those who
opposed the provision by which appeal from
the order of the commission might be taken
to the court did so because they thought
such right to appeal would offer much
opportunity to delay the proceedings.
Delay Great Defect of Law.
"An examination of the decisions of the
commission and the resort to the courts
by way of temporary injunctions fully
justify the conclusion that one of the de
fects of the present Interstate commerce
law is the delay entailed by litigation in
the court over the correctness of the order
of the commission.
"The court appeal cannot be abolished,
because It Is a constitutional right. Some
thing must be done ky reduce Its effect by
way of delay so that the decision of the
"It is proposed now by a number of
court shall be prompt, final and effective
gontlemen of my cabinet who have con
state Commerce Commission to facilitate
these appeals from the commission by the
creation of a separate Interstate commerce
court of five members, which shall sit In
Washington and which shall be the only
court to which petitions to set aside or
nullify the orders of the Interstate Com
merce Commission can be made, and It la
proposed to allow a single Judge to make
an order staying the proceedings of the
Interstate Commerce Commission but sixty
days, and thereafter that no Injunction
shall be allowed against the order of the
commission unless granted by the whole
court of five members.
"I know that objection will be made to
the cpea ion of this court. In one of the
bills originally Introduced such a separate
court was provided for, but the provision
was defeated. A tariff court has been pro
vided In the new tariff bill, to consist of
five members, whose Judgment shall be
final on all questions arising under the
administration of the tariff. I am strongly
Inclined to think that a similar court, ex
cept that an appeal ought to He from It
to the supreme court, will serve the pur
pose of expedition and the dispatch of
bustneos tn respect to ths orders of the
commission.
Now Tso for Federal JaJgea.
"I know that there Is well grounded ob
jection to Increasing federal courts and
to ths provision of the appointment of fed
eral Judges, whose terms and aalarles last
for life and who become a permanent ex
penditure of ths government But there Is
this to be said, that If the establishment
of such a court proves to be a mistake,
ths demand for Judges throughout ths
country and their Increase will furnish
an opportunity to use the Judges thus ap
pointed for other and general judicial work.
The uniformity of decisions and the
promptness of decision, which may lie ex
pected from a rourt whose experience
will soon make them experts In the dis
position of such esses, would promise to
the shipper and railroad litigants quick
decision as to their rights.
"A second chsngs In the Interstate Com
merce law ought to glvs to the commission
the, power to hear and entertain complaints
against unjust classification of merchan
dise for transportation. It Is perfectly
clear that by Including articles In the
earns class which ought to pay different
rates, a railroad can commit exactly the
same kind of Injustice as It would by Im
posing an exorbitant rats as to any one
class. Hence, I have not the slight. st
hesitation In recommending to congress
that .the power of the commission should
bs extended to Induce not only the fixing
of rates after complaint, but also the re
adjustment vf classification if It proves
on complaint to be unjust.
"I am aware that congress at the time
of ths passage of the rate bill thought it
was wise to limit the power of the com
mission to the consideration of rates act
ually complained uf by persons interested.
It would now seem from the experience of
the commission that It la the extension of
its power so as to Institute complaints of
Its own that is necessary to make its work
effective. I do not think that until we
.ry this new amendment and see how It
works, we ought to put down the bars en
tirely and glye to the Interstate Commerce
commission absolute power to fix rats in
idvance and on their own Initiative, and
without complaint filed and Investigation
made as is done In some of the slates. I
think it a great deal better to proceed cau
tiously in this matter and feel our way to
a satisfactory act which shall accomplish
the purpose without too drastic or radical
action.
"Under the Interstate commerce law a
new rate classification Is to be filed with
the commission. It is proposed now to
authorize the commission to postpone the
date that such new rate classification Is to
take effect, provided that within thirty
days of the date of the order a complaint
be filed that such rate or classification Is
unreasonable or unjust. I am Inclined to
think that this Is a fair change in the
provisions of the law. It gives to the pub
lic the same right to have changes which
affect them Injuriously investigated before
they go into effect as It does ths railroad,
by appeal to the courts, to have the order
of the commission subjected to Investiga
tion and hearing. Railroads ought not to
be permitted to change rates unless they
can glvs a reason for it.
Relief for Shippers.
"A third amendment to the act should
provide that the commission may by order
suspend, modify or annul any changes In
the rules or regulations which Impose un
due burdens on shippers. No doubt ought
to be left with respect to the power of the
commission on such a subject, because the
rules and regulations of a railway are the
means by which Injustice may be done to
the shipper. It would seem well to em
power the commission to compel connect
ing carriers to unite In forming a through
route and to fix the rate and the apportion
ment thereof among the carriers. The
commission should also be empowered to
prescribe the rules and regulations under
which the shippers snail have the privilege
to designate the route over which their
shipments shall be carried to the destina
tion beyond that of the first carrier.
"Another most Important amendment of
the interstate commerce law part of which
was specifically promised In the platform
Is a prohibition against any Interstate rail
way company acquiring stock In any com
peting road In the future, and further pro
vision that no railroad engaged In Inter
state commeroe shall after a certain date
hold stock Ip a competing railroad, and the
further amendment that after the paswage
of the amending aat, no railroad company
engaged In Interstate commerce shall Issue
any additional stock or bonds or other
obligations except with the spproval of the
commission, based upon a finding by the
commission that the ssme are Issued, first,
for a price authorized by the law and,
second, for a price not less than par for
stock, and not less than the reasonable
market value for bonds, such price being
paid either In cash or In property or ser
vices snd if In property or services then
at the face value thereof as determined by
the commission.
"By these provisions enforced with res-

COMJgAjMION
son, and drawn with a view not to be
drastic with railroads In the brginnliis. we
shall gradually abolish that evil whi.-h Is
Involved In the union of ctimpetliift rosds
by one road owning the stock f another;
and we shall prevent the Issue of .stock
and bonds so as to prevent watering, and
to keep the railrosd efficient for the ser
vice for which It was Intended.
"In addition to amendments to the law
which are looking to a rather more drastio
regulation of rates than .heretofore, an
other provision should be added by which
railroads may be permitted to agree upon
traffic rates, and make contracts with
respect to rates thst shall not be pooling
contracts, but shall constitute agreements
as to rates provided always thst- such
agreements shall receive the approval of
the Interstate Commerce commission. In
this wise ths operation of the anil-trust
law against traffic agreements between
railroads will be abolished; and against
their absolute prohibition would be sub
stituted a requirement that such agree
ments shsll meet the approval of a prop
erly constituted tribunal.
