THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1916. BUSINESS DOESN'T MIX MTH POLITICS first Need of the Country la to ' Give Protection to Amer lean Enterprise!. HUGHES ON PACIFIC COAST k Sn Francisco, Cl, Aug. 20.- Charles E. Hughes yesterday told au diences here and in Oakland that the government of the United Statei .could not be properly conducted by mixing politic with business, with odeDaredness. with the maiate- nance of international honor, or with other administrative functions of gov ernment o "When you start out to be military, be military and not political," Mr. Hughes told an audience in Oakland. : "I do not believe we can run this government by mixing business and politics, the nominee said to gath ering of business men here a short time before the Oakland meeting At Oakland, Mr. Hughes repeated his declaration that he favored foster ing honorable American achievements in business and adjusting decisions by finding the facts and acting upon them. V Afraid of Only the Dark. "You can break down your pros perity by prostituting yourself in the face of an unjust popular demand. Hughes said. I shall never do Mr. that. And the unjust popular demand is only unjust because the facts are not understood. "The only thing I am afraid of in this country is the dark. When we get things out into the light of day and see the actual facts we generally find out where the truth and justice lie. , .'' "Some neoote live in dreamland.' Mr. Hughes continued, in speaking of the need for military and commercial preparedness- They do not undr stand the actual world we live in." The nominee spoke of the federal commissions to investigate various situations, saying: Need of Experts. "We have devcloned commissions of investigation. What do they amount to unless we nave, expert commis sioners? Commissions are nothing ex cept as they are dominated by good tense, inspired by loyalty and patriot ism and controlled by the facts and the justice of the case before them. "I believe we can put down what it wrong without destroying what is good. In weeding our garden we do not want to pull up the useful plants. We do not desire in correcting abuses to destroy the opportunities of suc cess. We are competent, if we go about it in the right way, to destroy abuses, to secure open and fair deal ing, and at the same time make pos sible honest enterprise. "We cannot go forward unless we realize ourselves nationally. We must more than ever understand that na tional powers are to be exercised and that national prosperity an be gained only by the potency of our national organiaztion. s. -v . 1 ,-, - For Visible Oovernmeiit Mr. : Hughes declared himself op posed to. invisible government I want," he said, "visible government, competent administration, not only b those elected, but by the appointees of elected officers who represent the competence, the intelligence and the talent of the nation. We are entitled to that" "In his address to the business men of San Francisco at the Commercial club, Mr. Hughes spoke in part as follows: " i "We come to a conservative period a difficult period, a period in which America must look forward with grea er confidence in the soundness of our life than it has hitherto had- We have had an abundant surgery. Nobody can live by surgery alone, however necessary it may be. Need Hygienic Treatment : "We have got to have hygienic treatment- The system of the patient must be built up by abundant exercise, by fresh air and abundant nutrition. I am glad to think that we are ready for that forward movement and I think we can be sure that we can con trol monopolistic parties, and that we can prevent unjust discrimination. " W can secure a square deal and yet we can foster enterprise, build np and not destroy, encourage and not fetter, and make the honorable man of butiness feel that he has a free avenue to an honest success. "If we cannot so judge the United States, then our future is a tronhln,,. one and we will fail, as great nations of the psst have failed. We are but a young people. We are only an experi ment Nations several times our age have perished and left but scant memorials. We have, as I say, a very difficult system of government It requires constant attention, and eon sUnt study and attention on Jhe part of those who know. The man who knows is the man I want to talk to about every department of life. Correct Principles Needed "I do not believe it is necessary to E restitute public business in order to ave the confidence of the electorate I think that is great mistake. Whst we need in this country, as I have said, is, first, to have correct princi ple. . 'This is a non-partisan gathering; I do not want to abuse it by talking in a partisan way, but I should be unjust to myself if I did not say that as a principle as a principle which, of course,, must be carefully and pru dently applied that we must have the idea of protecting American en terprises against the co-operation of other nations acting under their product on a different basis, in re spect to wages and standard of living from what we have. We must not be afraid of perfect co-operation. . Everywhere along the line from this time on we have got to consider, what each one can do, not in a haphas ard way, but what is the beat way to do things, in order to achieve things in the future. For example, the prac tice i only comparatively recent of keeping properly the item of cost, so that you caa get from the manufac turer a real.coM sheet "How many realize now what can be done and where improvement can be made? : --:.. , ... Much Vet to Learn.1 , "I have tatked. with many along .hat line and I believe, without do " you gentlemen any injustice, that ere is a great deal that we have yet - r. : if . . - ' . to learn in this country in order that we may hold our own with the better organized nations abroad. "We have a world yet to do in this country. We are loose. We are dis jointed and we are unorganized. I want to see fair co-operation on proper basis, with such supervision as may be necessary to prevent abuses in order that we can go forward and advance our foreign trade throughout tne world. "Now, when the nation has any thing to do and undertakes the man agement of any particular kind of work, .it ought to be done in a way that would be a pattern for the entire country so that federal standards in every form of eovernmental activitv would furnish a pattern for any state activity ot a like nature. Security in AIL 'The fact that we have the state supreme in its sphere and the nation supreme in its sphere; the fact that where the two intertwine, the federal power must be regarded aa the dom inant oower. does not mean that we should not have those accommoda tions which wilt present certainty and security in all those business activi ties that come in contact with the government where the interest is local. There should be oooortnnitv for it . . . . r . to be neard where the interest is local. Where the interest is national, there must be the opportunity for it to be Heard. Where you have this district or territory, or where there is doubt, there should be opportunity for each to be heard and a proper tribunal by which, as an administrative matter, the question can be determined, and leave twilight zone no place ol un certainty in which business can fall into disesteem and come under a cloud of doubt "I maintain that wherever we have the government represented in regu lation and supervision, it must be a regulation and supervision that it really expert and squares with the facts of business life. There is no conflict between the public right and what is right for the individual when oronerly understood. The difficult) comes In when we have inexpertness and fear and apprehension and a de sire to please tnis one or mat one in stead of sauarely facing the facts and relying upon the common sense of justice.

Representa tives of both sides are prepared to re main here until the final word is spoken and a strike declared or averted. President Wilson made no engage ments for tomorrow in order to be ready to continue negotiations with ine ranroaa presidents, but it was thought probable that there would be no further general White Houie eon ferences until Tuesday. Although the railroad executives continue to main tain their position in opposition to the presidents plan and in favor of arbitration, administration official express hope that ultimately they would decide to negotiate on the basis proposed by Mr. Wilson. . Counter Proposal. It was understood tonight that a counter -proposal was under consider ation by the railroad executives, but that it had not yet reached a definite stage. It was said to include arbitra tion of at least some of the points at issue, with the grantintr of others. In the meantime telesrams nnrina- ine president to insist on arbitration arrived in large numbera at the White nouse. Most of them were sent bv business men and firms and organ izations. Copies of many were sent to the railroad -executives. Admin istration officials said the telegrams would have no effect on the president, since he had tried to bring about arbi tration, and failed, and had no way of forcing it. Only a few o the brotherhood members remained in Washington over Sunday, most of them going to nearoy resorts last night, upon be ns advised by President Wilson that he would have no communications for them today. Those who stayed here issued no statementa and indicated that they would have nothing further to aay regarding the situation until word came from the railroad 'heads in regard to the president's proposal. tne brotherhood members will meet at their hall tomorrow at ' 10 o'clock, but it is exoected that ad journment will follow within a few minutes, as they probably will have nothing before them.

The railroad officials found two points in President Wilson's public statement of his settlement plan, that comforted them and led to a belief that eventually there will be an agree ment averting a strike.

There was no concealment of the fact that some of them believe many manu facturers and shippers are bound to register at the White House their op position to this proposal and that pressure will be exercised to have members of the senate and house ex press to the president their convic tion along the same line. Each part of the president's pro posal is expected to be taken up sepa rately and the answers given to the White House separately. This fact and the fact that the western railroad executives cannot reach Washington tor several days, will contribute to the executive's plan to consider the whole problem slowly and give ample opportunity for every detail to im press itsell upon the public mind. Among tie railway executives the claim was made tonight that a strike couia oe Broken within a week. It was declared the idea that the country's commerce would be stopped immedi ately was entirely wrong. Attention was called to the fact that a large number of railway employes voted against a strike and it was claimed that many cast an assenting vote upon the understanding that no strike ac tually would be called. The claim was made that In case of a strike, many of the old engineers would refuse to go out and that with these men the railroads would be able to continue the operation of trains. Some time ago the managements were said to have called for volunteers to serve in the event of a walkout. Many responses were received, it was as serted, from among the 400,000 men in shop service, engaged in building or repairing locomotives and are :a miliar with their operation- A great number of men would not be needed, it was said, highly trained workers not being needed to fill positions as trainmen. Later the railroad managers made public the statement which President Holdon of the Burlington, made to President Wilson at the conference. It says: - "The representatives nf tti nil. roads here present have given careful consideration to the proposals sub mitted bv VOU for an aHn,atmnt nt ine critical conditions confronting us. May we again express the grave sense of responsibility upon our shoulders to discharge, as faithful trustees of the public interest, the duty to main tain and operate these properties as agencies, efficient at all times to serve the continuous demand for transportation service as faithful trustees alio to protect, insofar as it IS in Our OOwer. the intereata i( tin. owners of these properties committed to our charge. "In the previous stages of these ne gotiations, the conference committee of managers has consistently adhered to the policy of arbitration as a fun damental principle it is essentially the common right of every citizen of whatever station in life, to be heard to have his day in court it is indeed a substitute for wasteful litigation recognized long since in the codes of all civilized countries. "A denial of the right to be heard doe not exist under any form of government with which our race has ever Men familiar, and the common acceptance in international affairs, in the adjustment of public and pri vate; rights under our federal and state governments, of the principle of arbitration as an approved method for the friendly settlement- of the serious contentions of the parties, has put the right to claim arbitration aa a method of settling such con troversies beyond question. For these reasons, we have supported our com mittee in its continuous demand and in those important particulars upon which no agreement could be reached, arbitration should be accorded upon any reasonable basis that might be adopted. "in several Important arbitrations of railroad rates of pay and condi tions of service within recent years, the last within two years, involving ninety-eight railroads, serving the en tire territory between Chicago and the Pacific coast, the ten-hour basic day was incorporated in the demands of the organizations parties thereto, and made the basis by them of the rates and rules awarded by the fed eral board." PIOCRATS DODGE STATE TAX ISSDE Ostensible Seduction Leaves Big Standing Levies Tet on Higher Valuation. TEY TO FOOL THE VOTERS Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success. (From a Staff Corrcaoondent.) Lincoln, Aug. 20. (Special.) "Who is the democratic who at the state house?" is the question frequently asked since the war broke out again among the state officials who begin to see the end of their jobs in the year of our Lord, 1917. Since the democrats came into power at the state house there has been little harmony on some of the boards. This was brought out again last week, when State Treasurer George Hall inserted some political advertising in the papers, alleging tnat he had saved the state S1.UUU.UUU. This is denied by other members of the State Board of Assessment, of which Mr. Hall is a member, who as sert that if this much has been saved it has been done in spite of Mr. Hall and not by any act of his n. Mr. Hall' Position. According to his associates, Hall opposed a reduction in the tax levy last year and also disapproved of a reduction ot the railroad assessment. They admit Mr. Hall pulled off a good stunt when he compelled county treasurers to remit monthly, but they insist this money would all have come in sooner or later anyway, and so really Mr. Hall has done no more than any well-regulated state treas urer ought to have done. Others again make tight of the claim of Attorney General Reed and his valiant able-bodied deputy, Dexter Barret, that his department baa swelled the state treasury more than $100,000. Thev point to the orooosi- tion with quivering finger and say that it that amount has been saved bv that department that the state has not yet rcccivcu it. irue, iz tne courts xavor the state on several will contests the treasury may be enriched, but still the attorney general and his deputy are recklessly counting their chickens before they are hatched. To Make Showing. However, the democratic Board of Assessment this year agreed upon one proposition, and that was that some thing had to "be done to make the voters believe real economy was being practiced and that the taxpayers were being saved a lot of money. So they reduced the state levy a little, so that $271,902 less money will be paid into the coffers of the state the coming year on a valuation $20,000,000 larger. While this looks good on the face of it and makes good campaign talk, the voters must understand that the increased valuation simply means that on this increase will be applied the regular standing levies made by the legislature for state university, for special building fund, for normal school fund and bridge fund, an in crease on those four special funds alone of $51,966.89, in additional amounts as follows: Unlvertlty (1 mill)..) SlS.tn.7S npeclal Duliains fund (M mlU).... 14,484.41 Normal (.16 mill) , l,so 71 Brldso (.10 mill)., 1,14.09 Had the state board realtjPwahted to save the taxpayers money they could have reduced the 'valuation of the state and thus have' Inwerrrf in. stead of increased the taxes op the four regular funds, and besides would have lowered the taxes paid on county excuses, in stcaa oi aoing tnis they raised some counties and lowered others, in an effort to equalize, and when they were through with the equalization stunt had really raised the valuation of the state as a whole. But it looked bigger to sav to the voters, 'We, your democratic Board of Assessment, lowered the state valuation and saved the taxpayers $271,000," when, in fact, the taxpayer will find his tax bill just as big and probably bigger when he is called on to pay in 1917.

(Special.) To morrow State Chairman Ed Beach will pull open the throttle of the G. O. P. engine and from then on it will be "all aboard" for the cam paign. Mr. Beach went to Fairburv last night for a meeting with the chair man of the countv committee of Tef- ferson county and with leading repub licans, as a result tne campaign tnere will start out in a lively fashion, and good things may be expected from that county as the campaign pro gresses. 1 hings look miehtv good to Mr. Beach and he finds such unanimous sentiment for the whole ticket that he feels encouraged neht on the start Among republicans with whom he has Come in contact the feeling is general that the ticket will have support from top to bottom.

Despite the feeling in the atmosphere that the democrats have little chance to con tinue in control in this state after the next election, the effort will be strenuous to stem somewhat the in evitable defeat in November. In close democratic circles it is ad mitted that about three candidates is all they can hope to save from the impending political storm, and they are not feeling very sanguine on those. That John L. Kennedy will lead the republican ticket is admitted and that Sutton will be close to him is re luctantly conceded by frank demo cratic observers. They still hope Wil son will win the state and take along with him some of the others.
