GO AND SIN NO MORE

The States Attitude Toward the u.
S. Steel Corporation.
There is only one condition on which
the state will not act against the steel
trust merger Of iron ore roads.
If the United States Steel company,
which controls the stock of the two roads,
will transfer it back to the original hold
ers and cease to exercise control OF the
parallel ore carriers, then no action Will
be brought by the state. SRI.
An attempt will first be made to get At
the Northern Securities merger in the
state courts by action against the Great
Northern Railway company. It it is pos
sible in such suit to join the issue, 1t
will decide the question whether common
ownership means consolidation. Should
the state win, the steel trust might as
we'll loosen it's grip on one or the other
of the ore roads. Exactly the same point
Is involved in the two cases, and there Is
no need of two lawsuits. If the Northern
Securities merger cannot be reached, and
the steel trust hangs on, it will be sued
without fail. Facts are in possession OF
the railroad and warehouse commission
which show the fact Of common ownership
beyond dispute. These were secured a
year ago. soon after the deal went
through, and the commission then asked
the attorney generals advice. At that
time he decided that common ownership
was not necessarily in violation of the
antieonsolidation law and the matter was
dropped. Since going into the Northern
Securities case, and making a more
thorough examination Of the question, the
attorney general has come to the view
that common holding Of stock is only
hibits being done directly, and hence will
be declared in violation of the law :.

Marshalltown, Iowa, March l3.-At La

the faith, has wrought the people OF
Lamont into fervor Of religious excite

when they started west from Palmyra,

Seer had given to him by the angels the
metal plates on which were craven the
Book of Mormon. Faithful disciples Of
the church peer eagerly into the faces Of
strangers when they visit the village of
Lamont to see if the Christ has come.
They do not know the manner of his COM

that He will not make his presence known

Very Radical Amendment to

From The Journal Bureau. Room AS. Post
Building. Washington.
Washington, March 13.-The house
committee on Indian affairs to-day con-
sidered the Morris bill, but postponed
action until the next melting in order
that an amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Brown might be printed and
placed in the hands of the members
The Brown amendment changes en-
tirely the plan for the disposal Of tim
Der. 1t provides that timber shall be
sold standing instead Of on the bank
scale, as proposed by Judge Morris and
Secretary Hitchcock. Old estimates are
to be utilized in determining whether
the full value of the timber is offered by
bidders. :. The amendment, also provides
that timber shall be sold by sections or
parts Of sections. Bids are to be sealed
and the option Of rejecting any or all
bids is left with the secretary of the
INTERIOR who is also authorized to re-
advertise any tract or tracts not disposed
of at the first bidding, or to sell any
portion of timber at private sale.
The Brown proposition is also to ad-
vertise the first sale at least six months
in advance of the opening of bids. Sales
are to be widely advertised so that COM
petition may be assured The amendment
further provides that each bid shall be
accompanied by certified check for 20
per cent of the amount of the bid. Pay
ment is to be made in four equal annual
installments at per cent interest The
successful bidder is given the option OF
paying cash. No title is to pass until all
payments are made and the purchaser
cannot take possession until then.
There was considerable discussion OF
the amendment but no marked division
of opinion to indicate the probable action
on it. Mr.. Brown said
No, ! do not know that the committee will
adopt my amendment. offered it because
think it will result in getting the most money
for the Indians. It will, think, secure COM
petition and the timber will naturally bring
good price.
Mr.. Curtis of Kansas offered an amend
ment for the sale of cedar and tamarack
on the reservation, but it was not ac-
cepted. The committee also discussed the
forestry provision in the bill and it re-
ceived some hard knocks. It is predicted
that when the bill is reported that part
of it will be stricken out.

building, Washington. Il
Washington, March 13.-The dissolution
of the trunk line association announced in
dispatches from New York will have no
effect on the injunction proceedings
against western railroads for violation
of the law relating to equal rates in
granting rebates to favored shippers.
AS explained to-day by member Of the
Interstate commerce commission, the
trunk line association was formed with
the purpose of dividing freight business
among roads in the same territory. The
manner in which each individual road
secured business, whether by granting
concessions to shippers or otherwise, was
not a matter of concern to the other roads
except as it related to their business as
separate corporations. Each road got it's
business in its own way.
The suits ordered by the department of
justice on the presentation of facts by
the interstate commerce commission are
against individual roads whose officers
have violated the interstate commerce
act requiring the imposition of equal
rates on all shipments between given
points, said the commissioner. cit has
nothing to do with traffic associations
nor with the alleged pooling Of earnings
made possible by the formation of these
associations. The injunction suits were
ordered after the Western Traffic associa-
lions had dissolved OF were about to dis
solve any this shows that the two PROPOSE
tions are separate and distinct. AS to
the statement that tip had been given
members Of the traffic associations that
prosecution would be commenced against
them, = know nothing, neither do know
what the railroads will do. There ap-
pears to have been no definite line of ac-
ton agreed upon, either in the direction
of amendment of the interstate commerce
act to permit pooling or otherwise. I
suppose the railroads will combine on a
proposition and will present it to con-
gress for action before very long"
