Senator Norrie Brown. of Na
braska, Sounds the Keynote
Campaign Speech In Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS, ind. fan. 26.—--
Achievements of President Taft's ad-
ministration were defended here to-
night by Senator Norris Brown. of Ne.
breaks, at the annual banquet of the
Republican Editors of lndlana. The
speech was regarded as a keynote of
the administration efforts in launching
a country wide campaign. Besides the
editors. Republican party leaders from
all over the state attention the ban-
quet.
Senator Brown reviewed at consid-
crable length what. had been accom-
plished, by President Taft. and the
Republican party and laid the greatest
stress on the l’ayhe~Aldricll tariff luw
railroad regulation, direct election of
United States senators, income tax
amendment. enforcement of the anti-
trust law and other measures and the
peace ircnties. in discussing the
Payne tariff bill Senator Brown said:
“The Payne law has closed no fac-
tory: it has reduced the wage of no
man; it has denied labor not a sin-
gle opportunity; under it the farmer
has prospered. it has In no way im-
paired the general prosperity of the
people. And yet the law can be im-
proved. It should be improved a
schedule at a time and title will be
done it the president and the Republi-
cnn party have their way. Today
congress has before it 11 message from
the president demanding reduction of
duties ill one schedule based on the
facts as shown by the exports of the
tariff board.
“The lill‘II‘f law contained two other
propositions other than turiil‘ duties
which so far to giro the measure a
good name. it contained a provision
to tax corporations. thereby compel-
ling those Inc who prefer to enjoy
the profits and immunities of doing
business with the public as incorpora-
tol‘s rather than is Individuals, to
contribute to the support of the fruit»
ral government. That provision alone
has brought to the national treasury.

000 a year since It became effective.
Senator llrown SllIll It was "left to
the Taft administration to complete
the job of clothing the Interstate (‘om-l
merce Commission with the power
actually to prevent an increase in
rates until nftcr investigation by the
commission. and by declaring any
change in rates unlawful unless first
consented to by the commission." lie,
said be well rolllenlbercd the debate
in the senate on that feature of the
law end while the debate Was proceed
In: "the railroads were also proceed-
ing to increase freight rates."
“it is good to know." said Senator
Brown. "that the whole congress tnlk-
ed, the president of the [inherit-limes
was on guard for the people and the
day before the increase would be-
come effective President 'l‘ait invoked
the power of the court and in the
name of the. United States stopped by
injunction every increase proposed by
the railroads. Again it was the ole
scutive arm of the government and
not congress which saved a helpless
public from a great wrong. it Is not
possible that Republicans will hesitate.
to approve public service of that char-
ncter."
Senator Brown declared that for
more than a half century the people
have been demanding the right to
elect by direct vote United Status
senators. and that while the propoai~
tional platform of the Republican par-
ty. It was advocated by President
Taft in his acceptance message.
Referring to the income tax amend~
ment now pending before the states.
Senator Brown said that the resolu-
tion providing for this amendment
was resting pencfnlly in committee
until President Tim. by special mes-
sage, admonished congressihat such
an amendment was rlfht and should
be passed and submitted to the states.
As to the enforcement or the Sher-
man anti-trust act, Senator Brovin
said:
“For twenty years every attempt
on the part of law oilicers 0f the
government has been met by the law-
less with stubborn and arrogant re-
slstance It has taken the courts
many years to hear, and determine the
various questions so presented; but
the day of interpretation. though a
long one. is about over. Ever since
the decree in the Northern Security
cups was written, tire moron of prose-
cation has been steady and nuinter»

‘Gullt is personal.’ He said that dur-
ing McKinley‘e administration three
prosecutions were brought for the en-
forcement of the anti-trust law; fortr-
minletratlon and that durlnif two
years and nine months of'i‘att's ald-
mlnistrntion, thirty-seven presecutions
had been brought. '
“If the press of the United States
would tell the whole truth aboutl’res-

Dem'ocratlc votes in the electoral .col~

that if there is any credit to be claim-
ed or any blame to be imposed for
what has been done so for during
Taft‘s- administration. It belongs to
the Republican party as well as to
the president.
“We cannot condemn one withott
impeacblug the other. We cannot
one without commending both." he do-
ciared.’
Senatoriallrown paid tributes to for»
mer Republican presidents, including
Colonel Roosevelt and referringto a
third term, he said that Theodore
Roosevelt never lied to the American
people and when he said he did not
want to be president again he meant
what he sold.

ing a series of hearings before con-
gressional committees in opposition

mittee on interstate commerce the

Mr. Davenport declared that. despite
the statement of President Taft that
the Sherman law was never Intended
to cover labor organisations the core
trary could be proved. the cited the
decision of the supreme court in the
Danbnry hatters’ case. and other de-
cisions to sustain his proposition.

‘tiotl legislation. and a bill providing ‘
for jury trials in contempt cm. and
other m'eeuures proposed by labor. He
