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.

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.

Cause of Gapes in Chicks.
Prof. H. A. Surface, the State Zoolo
gist, is daily in receipt of letters re
questing information in regard to in
sect pests and the diseases of plant life.
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."
