Dainty Tidbits Used
at Hastings Asylum
at Officers' Table
Land Commissioner Cowles Con
fronted by Bill for Pine Feasts
by Outgoing Head.
MXCftLV, Feb. 11. ( Special. I -Superintendent
Baxter, recently retired from the
state asylum for the Insane, at 'Hastings,
early In hla term of office, under Governor
Sliallenbergcr, presented a bill for a fine
essortment of Intoxicating liiiuors for bis
institution thst amazed the Board of Pub
lie Lands and Buildings. Now. on his re
tirement he presents to the state a bill
for delicacies for the table of officers of
the Institution and their families that has
caused Land Comc'-'-'oner Cowiea to de
clare he will never , rove some of the
Items. For the month ending January 25
the hill for the month for eatables at the
officers' tables, whirs about fifteen per
sons are accommodated., amounts to a to
tal of 124.65. In the last of articles bought
are three boxes of strawberries, costing
$1.!T..
Land Commissioner Oowtes. as the big
boss of the Board of Public Lands and
Buildings, had given explicit Instructions
that the purchase of fruit which Is per
mitted does not Include the purchase of
strawberries In January. Eight dollars for
ten rounds of salted almonds, the land
commissioner thinks. Is reasonable enough,
but be does not know that the state Is
compelled to feed the governor's kppolntees
on salted almonds. Thirty cents a pound
for bacon is considered too much when
the state has a contract with a dealer to
furnish bacon at 18 cents a pound. Tht
bacon and ham bill will be allowed at the
price contracted for by the state and not
at the Increased price mentioned In the
bill. The following Items are In the bili:

WANT THE MONEY AT HOME
Objection Made to Listing- American
Stocks on Berlin Bourse.
ADDRESS BY COUNT KANITZ
He 9r that Inrestment of Germs a
Capital Abroad Raises Interest
Rates at Home t merlran
torks Attacked.
BERLIN. Feb. li. Count Von Kanitx.
conservative in the Reichstag, today In
terpellated the government regarding what
measures It proposed to take to prevent
the flooding of ths German market with
foreign securities.
When the count recently noticed thst he
would make this Inquiry he was supposed
to neve In mind the current report that
the Berlin Handelgeaellschaft contemplated
making an attempt to list ths stock of the
Chlcsgo. Milwaukee St. Faul railway
on the Berlin Boerse.
It hss been seml-officlally announced
that the Prussian government was consid
ering the advisability of the rejecting the
application for this listing, If msde, In
view of the condition of the German gold
market.
Speaking on the question today Count
Von Kan Its quoted figures showing ths
great Increase In the listing of foreign se
curities locally and demanded that Ger
man capital In the first instance subserve
German interests. He continued:
American Stocks Attacked.
"The movement ot capital out of the
country necessarily raises the Interest rate
In Germany. The big banks prefer bring
ing out foreign Issues to exploiting Germsn
loans, sowing to the bigger profits thus
secured. It is astonishing with which care
lessness second-rate foreign paper is ad
mitted to .e German market. The se
curities of the Chicago, Milwaukee A St.
Paul railway belong ostensibly to the best
clsss of Investments and pay 7 per cent,
but It Is asserted without contradiction
thst this railway recently shows reduced
earnings and that Its dividends sre kept up
to 7 per cent only In order not to discredit
the large sums placed In Germany.
Thla and other American securities show
fluctuations unknown In Germany.
. "Why do not Americans keep these se
curities for themselves?'' They have more
money than we ha o. They do not find
any railway material in Germany. The
high tariff renders this Impossible and the
Payne tariff law permits the raising of
the rate again to a maximum of 100 per
cent.
German Capital Needed at Home.
"The Investment of German capital In
American railway securities only places
this capital at the disposal of the Ameri
can iron Industry, which competes with
ours in many overseas markets and espe
cially In South America. Thus the German
stock market Is rendered more dependent
than ever on the New York Stock exchange
and their dependence has already become
very marked. We have no reason to show
a conciliatory spirit towards Americans
who have not treated us with especial
amiability.
"After Increasing their schedules they
have issued all kinds of vexing tariff regu
lations. Accordingly ws have no occasion
to dispense with a careful Investigation of
American railway securities or to admit
them open-handed out of pure friendship.
Foreign securities must be admitted only
when first, the home demand for capital
has been fully met; second, national ad
vantages are to be gained; and third,
these securities hava been selected with
the greatest care."
TAFT WARNS HIGH
PRICE ADVOCATES
(Continued from First Page.)
try from Canada in consideration of the es
tablishment of the same duty or freedom
from duty on similar goods going Into
Canada."
Ths president explained that it was
thought wiser on behalf of both govern
ments not to make a formal treaty, ' but to
make an agreement between the executives
by which each should submit the agree
ment In the form of a statute to be en
acted and to go into force on condition that
a similar statute was passed by the legis
lature of the other country."
Either Country Mar Withdraw.
He said in part:
"This form of agreement makes It one
from which either country can withdraw at
will by simply changing ths statute by
new legislation.
"I am a protectionist. That Is, I believe
there are certain Industries in this country
which need the encoursglng effect of a
tariff upon Imports from foreign countries
to enable them to pay good wages snd fur
nish a reasonable profit to those who en
gage In them. The difference In condition
w hlch generally makes this tariff necessary
Is the lower price of labor In the foreign
country as compared with the price of labor
In our own.
"There was a time when republicans
thought there was no danger of having a
tariff higher than necessary to protect
American Industry. It was thought that if
the country was made dependent on manu
facturers behind the tariff wall the com
petition between the manufacturers would
stimulate the reduction In the cost of pro
duction snd thus reduce the price.
"But the temptation to combine, by
which the price could be controlled and
thus the excessive tariff taken advantage
of, led to a modification of the protection
theory and to a determination that the
protection of any Industry ought not to
exceed In tlie tariff Imposed more than
the difference between the cost of produc
tion abroad, the cost of t lie production
here, and enough to give a fair profit to
the domestic producer or manufacturer.
Conditions Are Mark Alike.
"This limitation necessarily took away
any grounds for a tariff betwren thla coun
try and any country In which the condi
tions of production were substantially the
ssme. Tht conditions of production and of
manufacture in the L'nlted Slates and In
Canada are substantially the same. Wages
may differ In one part of Canada from
another part, just as wages differ In dif
ferent Slates In this country, but the price
paid them per unit cf work Is not sub
stantially less In Canada than In this coun
try. 'in other woids. the plank in the plat
form of tlie last republican convention,
carried to its logical conclusion, would
lead to substantial free Hade with Can
ada. "In many rases where Ihe agreement
has been criticised for not making greater
reduction, we could not secure them be
lause, In the Judgment of our Canadian
friends, the trade or Industry which they
desired to foster would suffer by a greater
reduction, thus, with respect to meats, we
would have been glad to put them on the

between the Inlted States and Canada'

"The suggestion that fie open.ng of ojr '
markets to Canadian wheat and other)
cereals." continued the president, 'will re-:
duce the prke of land in Ohio, U;iuoJs. I
Indiana snd Iowa is refuted by every
table of statistics.
"To let the wheat of the northwest come
down to Minneapolis snd Chicago will
steady the price of wheat. Rut thst It will
In the end substantially reduce the rrlce
of wheat, fixed for the world In Liverpool,
no one familiar with conditions will as

grester control of the wheel market than
it has ever had before. It will enable Its
milling plants to turn Canadian wheat
Into flour and aend abroad the finished
product and will stimulate the sale ot
manufactures and other things that we
have to sell to Canada "
The president further asserted that In
removing the artificial barriers between
the northwestern part of the United States
and the Canadian provinces, the agreement
would result in the bringing over of live
cattle to feed on the corn of the Ameri
can farmer,

The president said that no step could
be taken more In the interest of a reason
able policy of protection than the ap
proval of the treaty, "and that In insistence
on too much protection would arouse an
opposition In this country that will know
no moderation." He said that that was
his reason, also, for favoring the creation
of "an expert tariff commission, or board."
"We have taken up those things that ara
Involved In a certain reciprocity treaty be
cause opportunltj afforded," declared
President Taft In conclusion. "Now Is the
accepted time. Canada Is at ths parting
of the ways. Shall it be an Isolated
country, as much separated from us as If
it were across the ocean, or shall Its peo
ple and our people profit by approxlmlty
that our geography furnishes and stimu
late the trade across the border that noth
ing but a useless. Illogical and unneces
sary tariff wall creates?"

Following a trip through the university

Tresldent Tuft spoke from the platform of
bis car here Just before leaving for De- ,
ratur. His subject was reclproi lly.
He said In part :
"I wish to in-ite your attention to the
fact that there Is pending tortsy in ron-
grrss a measure which If adopted will. 1
I think, mske sn epoch In the history' of '
this country. '
"M Is the bill for Ihe adoption of the j
reciprocity agreement made between the ;
executives of the Dominion of Canada and .
the United States It looks towsrd free
trade between the two great countries that i
lie together for .V(lrY miles snd ths taking
down of the tsrlff wall when no tariff
wall Is necessery.
"I venture to say to young men that If
the treaty or pact or contract be adopted
not In your lives will there be nny de
parture from It. because the benefidsl ef
fect to both countries will Impress beliefs
so deeply upon sll the people, thst there
will be no movement towsrd a new separa
tion. "What we ought to look toward Is the
general effect on the social and business
relations of the two countries. They have
the same traditions as we hsve; the same
language. Their ancestors generally sre
the same aa ours. We have no forts along
our borders; we hsve no battleships: we
are able to live at amity. Why not then
take down the only tli.:m that separates
us in our business relations'."'
rAXKOX AGAINST RKCIPROCITY
Speaker Writes Letter to an Illinois
SPRINGFIELD. III.. Feb. 11 -Senator
Bailey of Danville made public 'oday a
letter directed to him by Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon of the national house of repre
sentatlvea In which the speaker strongly
opposes reciprocity with Canada.
Following is the text of Speaker Cannon's
letter In part:
"It Is reported In Washington that you
are about to consider In the state legisla
ture at Springfield a resolution endorsing
tho commercial agreement with Canada
which is now pending before congress.
"That proposed agreement provides cub
stantlally for free trade between Ca.in la
and the United States on agricultural
products, the farmers' finished product.
It Includes. In addition to wheat, barley,
corn, potatoes, dairy products, eggs, poul
try, etc., cattle, hogs snd other animals
on the hoof.
Of course, free trade In these products
Is by Itself one sided, because we give
Canada an immense market for her farm
produce, both in theory and in fact, while
she affords us practically no market for
farm products In fact, whatever may be
the theory.
"Of course. If there can be any advantage
given us which will compensate for the
burden of competition thus placed on out
farmers we should be able to find it In the
terms. I have not found It so far and I
note that the Canadian envoy, Mr. Field
ing, explains to the mother country that
while Canada Is gaining a large market in
the l'nlted Statea. the United States is not
to gain market enough In Canada to Inter
fere with English trade, since few reduc
tions are made on our products that would
seek a Canadian market, and these re
ductions are small."

FROM NORTHPORT TO THE WEST
taring of Flftr Miles Could Re Made
and Grade Mnat Re Cot Consider
ably br the Proposed
rhantr,
Another shortening of the Union Psclfie
line between Omaha and the west Is to be
made some time In the near future, ac
cording to advices received from New Tork.
w-here the heads of the Ilarrlman system
are located. The proposed plan is a part
of the appropriation of ITo.Ono.OliG made
lately to Improve the western lines and
double track them, and Is to shorten ths
road from Omalia to Ogden fifty miles.
The construction plan would be to
straighten the curve in the Union Paclfio
track between the point where It leaves
Nebraska to Medicine Bow. Wyo., where
It starts away on a straight run to the
west. This can be done by building west
from Northport. The Improvement would
also eliminate the hard grade of the road
between the two points.
The New York report also states that the
Ilarrlman lines will Increase the mileage
of their tracks In the great northwest by
2.000 miles, building a number of branch
and connecting lines in the territory wrhloh
Is now traversed by the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon and Washington road.
