ABERDEEN, WASHINGTON MONDAY NOVEMBER 8 1902
TRACT
A SCHEME TO FOOL VOTERS
EVOLVED BY j. ". BABCOCk.
That Constitutional Amendment. One Of the
Most Dangerous Propositions, to Popular
Government, Ever Presented in Congress.
Democrats and Republicans Reject 1t.

Republicans are circulating under the
frank of Congressman J. w. Babcock, a
tract entitled "Records of the republican
and democratic votes on the antitrust
legislation in the United States house of
representatives" In this tract it is
pointed out that in the house on May Il,
1900, the joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution relating
to trusts and monopolies was called up.
Mr.. Ray. of New York, asked unanimous
consent that this resolution be made
special order. 1t is pointed out that
"Mr. Richardson, the democratic leader,
interposed an objection and thus defeated
the attempt to fix the time for the con-
sideration of this measure"
A reader of The Commoner encloses
this tract and asks for an explanation Of
the action of the democrats. The reso-
luton referred to proposed an amend
ment to the constitution which instead
of being intended to injure the trusts
was intended to take away from the
states all authority over trusts and
monopolies and place that authority ex.
clusively in the federal government.
The resolution was as follows:
Section l. All powers conferred by
this article shall extend in the several
states, the territories, the District OF
Columbia, and all territories under the
sovereignty and subject to the jurisdic-
ton OF the United States.
Set. 2. Congress shall have power to
define, regulate, control, prohibit, or dis
solve trusts, monop poles or combinations,
whether existing in the form OF cor
poration or otherwise.
The several states may continue to
exercise such power in any manner not
in conflict with the laws OF the United
States.
Sec. 8. Congress shall have power to
enforce the provisions of this article by
appropriate legislation.
1t will be seen by the language OF this
resolution that congress, by the mere
passage of a law, could have assumed
exclusive power over trusts and monop'
olies and that states could not have ex-

ercised any power in that respect which
in any manner conficted with the laws
passed by congress.
The bill was also intended to strike a
blow at labor organizations, and Mr..
Mccall, republican member from
Massachusetts, on this account voted
against the resolution. In explanation
of his vote MIR. Mccall said:
81 intend to vote against the proposed
amendment to the constitution which
at most will keep the word of promise to
the ear, but break it to the hope.
Let us not deceive ourselves about this
proposition. This amendment is not
simply aimed at trusts and monopolies,
but it has application to every form OF
individual combination. and in my judg-
ment it confers upon congress power to
strike most deadly blow at individual
liberty. 1t involves the con-
troll of the labor organizations of the
country, and of any co-partnership or
union Of two or more men for any bust.
ness purpose whatsoever. And
what will be the effect if we concentrate
upon one body of men the control of
more than one-third of the capital of the
world, and all these other tremendous
influences? Is there a gentleman on
this floor who does not believe in his
heart that if this power is conferred on
congress, the most corrupt and rottenest
place in the universe will be found right
here in the city of Washington"
Although at the time this measure
came up for vote there were 357 mem.
bers of the house, the measure received
only 154 votes because its purpose was
SO plain that many republicans could
not be persuaded to vote for it.-Bryan's

Story Of an immigration bill.

A little story with a profound human
appeal is Lewis +. Macbrayne's "The
Promise Land" in The November Nc
Clure's. 1t is study in steerage, and
tells the fate of an immigration bill
drafted by high minded and ambitious,
but aristocrtic and misinformed men,
Der of congress, who had been "study-
ing" the immigration problems in the
fashionable watering.places of the con.
tinent. What he sees in the steerage on
the voyage back causes the immigration
bill to futter in little pieces astern as
the liner steams into sight of Sandy
Hook. The illustrations by Lisbon are
among the best things he has ever done

AN INNOVATION.
Spring Beds and Mattresses for men In Lambs
Camp.

The camps of the Frank II. Lamb
Timber Co., near Montesano are models
in many respects, and Mr.. Lamb is max.
ing many Improvements which will be
something new in the history Of logging
in this state-or, in fact any other
state.
Instead of a narrow "brnk," filled
with hay on which to spread his roll Of
blankets, the workmen in this camp will
be furnished with single spring bed
and mattress. Fifty of each of these
were taken to the camp this week for
use Of the men. The camps are large
and conveniently arranged and will no
doubt attract good class of workmen.

ALBUQUERQUE
TO DURANGO
The Survey Of This Important Pro-
jeeted Railroad Line Is
Now Nearing Com
pletion.
A VERY EASY GRADE
HAS BEEN FOUND

Hon. w. S. Hopewell has returned
from trip to Durango, Colo, and gave
some more definite information of the
survey of a proposed railroad line from
Albuquerque ITO Durango Colo He
emphasized the fact that neither the
Santa, Fe Central nor the Albuquerqu.
and Eastern railway are directly inter-
ested in the project, but that a number
of Pennsylvania capitalists, are in back
of it, and Mr.. Hopewell is acting in an
advisory capacity for them. Whether
the road will be built or not will depend
very much upon the report of the sur
veying corps which is now Within 13
miles of Durango. A very easy grade
has been surveyed from the San Juan
river, which is crossed 13 miles east of
Pennington, to Durango. The survey
strikes the San Juan river at the mouth
of Largo canon and crosses it near the
Ruins canon in which is situated an in
teresting cliff dwelling village. 1t pro-
ceeds over the Bloomfield Mesa to the
Animas striking the county seat, Aztec,
from which it proceeds in straight
line to Durango. The road from the

WHAT THE TAX
PAYERS SAY
Public Sentiment Is in Favor OF New
School Houses and That the
Board of Education Should
Act at Once.
The Poor Showing That Santa Fe Makes in
the Annual Report Of the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction.

The annual report of Colonel j. Fran
co Chaves, superintendent Of public IN
struction of New Mexico, gives some
idea of how far Santa Fe is behind the
other towns of New Mexico as far as
the value of public school property is
concerned. While Santa Fe owns only
s5 900 worth Of school property, Albu-
ouerque owns sSO,OOO worth; East Las
Vegas $4,000; Ration $4,000; Roswell
10000; Deming $25,OO0; Las Vegas
5000; Socorro and Carlsbad each

SIS, 900; Springer s10,SOO; Silver City
$40, 500; Cerrillos $4,000; Las Cruces
SC. .OOO OF the fifteen towns enumerated,
Santa Fe, although the oldest, makes
the poorest showing. In expenditures
for the maintenance of the schools,
Santa Fe is doing somewhat better al
though it is nothing to brag of, for
while Santa Fe spent last year s6.225 for
it's public schools, Albuquerque spent
s31, ,4se79; Roswell $20,7sS11; Ration
s., oss. .76; East ,gas ss,O22.22 and
Las Vegas ss3 While Santa Fe
stands second\ the school census,
with 1, 7O5 children Of school age. its av-
erage daily attendance was only 464
only a little over 25 per cent of the
school population. OF the fifteen towns
enumerated the percentage of attend
ance to the school census is as follows:
Springer 76; Carlsbad and Alamogordc
each 20; Gallup 65; Ration e1; Cerrillos
SO; East Las Vegas 81; Roswell and So
zorro each 40; Albuquerque 35; Las We.
gas and Deming each Sa Las Cruces 30
Silver City %, the latter alone making
a poorer showing than Santa Fe. which
is explained by the fact that Silver City

that of Santa Fe was only sever

Washington Dec 11.-Minister Bow
en- at Caracas, in a cablegram to the
state department, today confirms the
press rerorts that all the German and
British prisoners have been released
THE GERMANS PLEASED.
Berlin Dec. 1.-THE German foreign
office officials are much pleased at
Minister Bowens energetic action at
Caracas resulting in the release of most
of the Germans imprisoned there and
by his efforts to obtain the liberation
of the others. Full advices on the sub
ject have been received from Washing
ton. The direct dispatches received
from Venezuela by the foreign office
here say that Venezuela's naval vessels
have not yet been seized. that only her
revenue cutters were captured, but that
the seizure of the former is expected
Immediately.
CUSTOM HOUSES TO BE SEIZED.
London, Dec. 1.-THE foreign office at
o'clock this afternoon was still with
out official news from Venezuela. The
officials We're glad to hea" OF the release
of the British subjects, but were una
BILE to express any opinions on the press
dispatches except to say that they pre-
sumed they We're correct. In connec-
ton with the reported seizure of the
Venezuelan customs the foreign office
officials say that arrangements for that
step have not been completed Before
any general seizure could occur Ger
many, Great Britain and other nations
would have to come to an agreement
for pro rata division and adjustment
of their respective claims, similar to
that arrived at by the allies in China,
except that the La Guayra custom
house may possibly have been seized as
a purely military measure. Though the
seizure of the custom houses will take
place eventually, it is pointed out that
while hostilities are in progress, the
customs. as fiscal institution, are
practically valueless.
PRIZES SUNK.
London, Dec. 11.-In the house of
commons today, Under Foreign Secre-
tary Cranborne confirmed the reports of
the capture of three Venezuelan vessels
at La Guayra and the disablement of
fourth vessel without resistance, and
also confirmed the capture of the Ven
ezuelan gunboat Bolivar at Port of
Spain, Trinidad. Two of the prizes, he
added, were sunk. The under secretary
also said that the release of the British
subjects arrested at Caracas had been

ernmenb had not been Informed that
the demand had been complied with.
The government had no official infor-
nation of the reported arrest of the

information received was that he left
La Guayra yesterday evening. The
British subjects arrested had not been
harmed.
TROOPS MASSING AT LA GUAYRA.
La Guayra, Dec 11.-General Ferrer,
minister of war, has arrived here with
1000 troops. Eight hundred men under
President Castro's brother are expected
here at 10 o'clock. Only the British
cruiser Indefatigabe is now here. All
the other warshps have left La Quay
ra. Minister Haggard and Herr Won
Pilgrim Baltozzi, it was learned today,
left here last night. The former was on
board the Retribution and the latter on
the Vineta which sailed for Trinidad

that the allies have landed Blue JAG
kets at La Guayra, for the purpose of
effecting the capture of President Cas-
tro and that fighting is going on in the
streets. The foreign office has no in
formation to this effect.
THE SOCIALISTS CRITICISE.
Berlin, Dec. 11.-All the newspapers
here, with the exception of the Socialist
"Vorwaerts" are in sympathy with the
governments action toward Venezuela.
The morning papers contain many hui
morous references to what they term
President Castros magnioquent mani

Venezuela in Paris and made public last
night. The ''Vorwaerts" which never

it thinks the formidable ultimaitums of

fine piece of pretenson and Internal

then made the point of order that the
report of the election committee was
directly in the teeth of the federal
statutes fixing time for taking testi-
mony and was not privileged. The
speaker ruled that the house having

of order came too late.
ARBITRATION PROPOSED
Washington, Dec. 11.-A Joint resolu
ton was off cred in the house today by
Mr.. Shafrotn of Colorado, authorizing
the president to propose to Great l3ri-
tain and Germany to submit their
claims against Venezuela to arbitration
and to guarantee payment of awards
that may be found.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, Dec. 11.-Cuban reci-
procity is becoming figure in the
statehood fight, which gives the friends
of the territories at least faint hope.
Several Republican senators favoring
admission of all three teri tories, are
Indifferent as to Cuban reciprocity Sem
ator Quay is working with them to get
their pledge to withhold their support
from the Cuban treaty unless vote
can be had on the omnibus bill. Sew
eral senators are believed to be
willing to go this far, and, If this stand
is taken and maintained until short
time before the close of the session,
there is good ground for hope that the
friends of Cuban reciprocity may weak
EN- and permit a vote on the statehood
bill in order ito insure a two-Ithirds vote
to ratify the treaty. Mr. Quay is de-
termined to win and will exhaust every
means within his command.
In a letter to the secretary of the in
terror, H. B. Carpenter, government
surveyor, reports that it is doubtful
,,ietiler the sarvey of the boundary ot
the line between Colorado aud New
Mexico can be completed by June 30,
1903, as was proposed. Surveyor Car
penter and his party, who are engaged
on the work, are now located at Edith,
some III miles from the end of the
boundary line. This much of the line
they have surveyed and marked with
iron mile posts. The Conejos and Cu1e-
bra ranges lie in front of the party now
and the obstacles to be overcome are
too great to allow the completion of the
work by the allotted time.
L. c. Burch, one of the deputies in the
office of the attornye general ait Wash
ington, has left for Denver to represent
the government in case which involv-
es the right of the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad Company to certain
timber along it's line from Antonito to
Durango, and partly located in New
Mexico.
The committee on public lands in the
house, yesterday discussed the recently
introduced bills providing for the repeal
clause of the homestead law and the
timber and stone act. It is believed that
the western members of the committee
will not advocate favorable report or
any of these bills, owing to the lessen.
ing of the revenues for the government
irrigation projects. 1t is safe to say
that nothing will be done with the
bills this session.
