Vested Rights in Sugar Bounties and Protective Tariffs
The Supreme Court judges favor upholding the McKinley act and bounty system. Taft argues bounties are protective tariffs in another form and may create vested rights. He cites sugar as example where long duties prompted investments and argues the government must reimburse losses or allow continued bounty until self sustaining. Such logic implies vested rights to perpetual bounties for sugar and other industries.

Arc light costs show Ottumwa cheaper than many cities
The Ottumwa Democrat reports a tabulated list from Peoria showing annual arc light costs in U S cities. Davenport pays 75 dollars, Sioux City 100, Keokuk 60, Burlington 200, Moline 69, and Ottumwa pays less than all but Galveston and Ottawa. When cities own plants, Galveston 44.90, Ottawa 44.56, Bloomington 60, Aurora 267, Moline 69, and others vary. The note suggests owning plants raises costs. Ottumwa remains the lowest.
