WASHINGTON LETTER. [From our Regular Correspondent-1 WASHINGTON, July 17, 1909. President Taft has taken a determined .stand for free iron ore, free hides, free coal and free petroleum and for the re duction of the duty on lumber to one half the Dingley rate, that is to one dol lar a thousand feet. He has won the support of the conferees on the tariff bill for these reductions and he is now engaged in bringing into line those mem bers of the Senate and the House who. for selfish and local reasons, have oppos ed tariff revision downward. When the v President made clear to the Senate and House conferrees his views on these schedules they told him they would read consent and would report a bill in ac cordance with his wishes but that they feared the conference report containing these reductions would be rejected by the Senate and possibly by the House. The President told them he could take care of those who would reject the con ference report because it contained too much downward revision and they ex pressed a wish that he do so. It had become known to the members of both houses that the President had taken a stand in faver of these free raw material and a number of them proposed togo to the White House and enter a protest. When they asked for an inter view it was promptly accorded and twenty-two members of the House, led by Representative Young, of Michigan, called to protest against what they term ed the un-Republican ideas of Mr. Taft. The delegation included Representatives Young, of Michigan, Uarehfield, Tener and Bates, of Pennsylvania, Gaines, Sturgiss, Hubbard and Woodyard, of West Virginia, Southwick. of New York, Kinkead, of New Jersey, Keiffer. John son and Kennedy, of Ohio, Cowles, Grant and Thomas, of North Carolina, Slernp, of Yirginia. Hayes, of California, Mon dell, of Wyoming, Austin, of Tennessee, and Langley and Edwards, of Kentucky They all protested against one or more of the reductions advocated by Mr. Taft. He expressed his views in no uncertain terms, fie told them that as titular head of the Republican party, and as President, with the whole people for his constituents, Ik? possessed a broader viewpoint than that of a single member of Congress with respect to articles pro duced in his own district. The Presi dent said too that he felt strongly the call of the country for downward revis ion within the limits of the protective principle and he hoped to be able to re spond to that call as he heard it. as well 'n the interests of the party as of the country, lie assured his callers that his influence would be exerted in favor of free petroleum, free coal, free iron ore and free hides. The President's declaration will doubt less give ri- * to many. unwarranted re ports regarding a veto of the tariff bill, etc. The President does not believe there is the slightest danger that he will be confronted with a situation which will demand a veto. 1I<! is convinced that the people are with him in his de mand for lower duties and he believes that now he has made it clear that he favors these reductions the voters all over the country will write their Sena tors and Representatives and urge them to stand by the President. If they will do this there is no doubt to a satisfac tory revision of the tariff and of the early adoption of the conference report, followed by the immediate adjournment of Congress. In entering the fight over the tariff schedules the President feels that he is only doing his duty and that he is in no way detracting from the glory of Con gress. He has mantained a "hands off" policy in all regards until the party lead ers have come to him and urged him to take a hand, but now that lie has put his shoulder to the wheel he will not turn back. He will exert all his influence to make good the pledges confident that in .so doing he will earn tne gratitude and approval of the whole people, almost re gardless of party affiliations. So many erroneous reports regarding the tax on the net earnings of corpora tions have found their way into the public prints that, even at the risk of re peating facts which have been fully and accurately stated in these letters from the first, it seems wise again to state the truth. The corporation tax will be adopted by the conferrees and only the failure of the entire tariff bill can pre vent its adoption by both houses of Con gress. There has never been any doubt <»it this -core among well informed per- place at the White House on (he even ing of June 22, with tne Republican members of the Finance committee, the Speaker and Representatives Payne and I)wight present. These men then assur ed the President that they would accom plish the acceptance of the corporation tax by their respective houses. HANDICAPPED This is The Case With Many Em porium People.

Howard & C'o'e. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY JULY 22, 1909. How to Secure the Lowest Ex press Rate. Here is something from the Iron Age that should prove of interest to those who have occasion to use the express companies: The express companies have been often subjected to a good deal ot well deserved criticism because of defective service and irregular charges. While complaints along this line have sub stantial grounds, it is undoubtedly true that merchants and the public do not always take pains to advise themselves concerning the facilities and charges which are obtainable from the com panies. This is especially the case in regard to the carriage of small parcels on which materially reduced rates, reg ularly established but not very general ly made known, may be obtained by those who know enough to ask for them. For example, small packages of merchandise limited in value to $lO are carried between any points in the United States or Canada which are served by any of the leading express companies at the rate of one cent per ounce, with a minimum charge of fif teen cents. This rate, unless the reg ular express charge is less, applies to packages containing dry goods, no tions, samples, stationery, advertising cuts and other ordinary merchandise. There is likewise another and lower rate covering advertising and printed matter, such as catalogues, calendars, almanacs, etc., which are carried at one-half cent per ounce, with a mini mum charge of ten cents. Packages in this latter schedule, weighing fifty ounces or over arc carried at the rate of one-half cent per ounce, less two cents per package. Tins rate, it is to be noted, is uniform throughout this country and Canada, without regard to distance, as a parcel in either of these classes is carried ovor a long or short distance at the same charge. In this respect the servioe resembles that of the Postoflice Department and these rates are to enable the express com panies to secure business which would otherwise go through the mails. To obtain these rates it is necessary that the charges be prepaid at the time of shipment and that the value be declar. Ed, so that the liability of the express companies will be limited to $lO. The express companies emphasize the point that by this medium of transportation shippers are always able to prove de livery through the records kept by the companies and that delivery is guar anteed. These rates, while in existence, seem not to be thrust on the uninitiated, but are rather doled out to individuls who are cognizant of them and ask for them. A parcel weighing sixteen ounces and valued at §lO was recently handed in at the counter of one of the largest express companies at its New York headquarters to be delivered in a town in the state on which the regular rate was $1 per 100 pounds, and twenty-five cents, minimum for one pound or leas. The rate named was twenty-five cents, but when re quest was made for a reduced rate six teen cents was given. While in the case the package was to be carried only about 300 miles, it is to be noted that for the same charge it might have been sent 3,000 miles. This method of trans acting business being criticised by the shipper, the clerk replied that these rates were given when called for; in other words, the uninformed would pay twenty-five cents, while one who was posted in regrrd to the lower«rates would pay sixteen cents on identical packages and service, except only as regards prepayment and the reduced liability. In such instances persons are obviously subjected to an over charge of more than 50 per cent, be cause of their lack of knowledge. But this, after all, is only another example of which the woods are full of the pen alties which are being enforced be cause of carelessness or ignorance in business matters. Card of Thanks.

These letters come to his office in Har risburg from every part of the State and are upon many topics. It was not surprising, therefore, that he received one in reference to that common afflic tion of poultry, known as gapes. The correspondent asked for the best relief for chicks suffering from gapes, and wanted to know how to prevent the trouble. Prof. Surface replied that "Gapes in little chickens are caused by the eating of earth-worms. There are parasites in the earth worms which find their way into the windpipe of the chicken and lodge there, where they take the form of little red worms. The best preventive is to keep the chickens from the surface of the ground; or use salt or strong salt water on the soil, so as to kill the earth-worms; or strew strong line or something of the kind on the ground, so that the chicks will not get hold of the worms to eat them. "After the chicks have been attacked with gapes, however, you can dislodge the worms by making a very small loop in a twisted horse hair, draw out the tongue of the chick, slightly, insert the horse hair loop in the windpipe opening, which will be seen between the forks at the base of the tongue,and, twisting the hair around, withdraw it. The worms are likoly to be found within the loop, or some of them will have been thus removed, and the oper ation can be repeated. "Another remedy is to dip the tip of a soft feather into kerosene and insert it in the windpipe opening to dislodge and kill the worms. Such treatment, although severe, is better than letting the worms remain undisturbed, to severely annoy the fowels and even kill them. "Mixing turpentine oi; other sub stances in the food of the young poul try has not proven satisfactory as a remedy for gapes." Constable and Collector's Notice.
