The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-06-25

The Hunt administration is not
saying a word III public now about
having twenty-five thousand dollars
for half the Thomas ranch, but Boss
Burford still holds the deed to the
ranch in escrow and expects to close
the deal with the city as soon as he
has been gwen a new lease of power
by the reelection of his man, Gilbert
Hunt, as mayor. If the bank can con-
tinue it's control Of the mayor and a
majority of the council it expects to
have no trouble in unloading half the
Thomas ranch on the city at price
that will clear the other half of debt
and thus turn a rather doubtful loan
into a highly profitable investment.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-06-25

If you believe that national bank
stock should not be assessed at a rea-
sonable per cent of its market value
the same as other kinds Of property
and that the mayor and city council
should settle such taxes on terms to
suit the banks, you should vote to
keep the present city administration in
power. The present administration
a few months ago made the two ma
tiOnal banks a present Of over fifteen
hundred dOllors in the form of a re-
ductiOn of the taxes on their stock
If the voters of this city believe that
the banks are less able to pay their
taxes than other property owners and
that special favors should be extended
to them on that account, they should
by all means vote the Burford- Smails
ticket on July 10.

The Statesman is not a machine
organ. 1t is not so hidebound in its
views that it will not give a hearing
10 anyone who differs with it. It's
columns are open TO communications
written in good faith by any person
who wishes to defend any official or
individual whose acts it has criti-
cised. However, the usual news
paper rule Will be observed in dis
posing Of anonymous communications
they will be consigned to the waste
basket

lei them have their own way under
the old law, and that he will do the
same thing in spite of the new law II
he can get a chief Of police who Will
be blind to the violation Of the stat
ute. AS Frank KEGS did his best TO
defeat the new gambling law at Olym-
pia, it is not likely that as chief OF
police he would go out OF his way
to make trouble for some of his best
friends and supporters.

Both parties in the late general
election in this state were pledged to
the passage of a railway commission
law, and the members of the legisla-
1ure from this county pledged them
selves to abide by the will of the ma
jority as expressed in state conven-
ton. A. F. KEGS voted and worked
against the commission bill and there
by forfeited any claim upon the sup
port of either loyal republicans or
loyal democrats. Therefore. he will
have no reason to complain if all true
democrats and many republicans vote
against him for chief of police at the
election on July Is.

Several of KEGS staunchest sup
porters are pretending to work for
Hillman in order TO give the latter a
show of greater strength than he
really possesses and thus induce
well meaning voters to throw their
votes away. The Statesman could
name half a dozen of these KEGS men
in disguise Let no voter be deceived.
The race for chief Of police is between
Jerry Brown and Frank KEGS A vote
for the third candidate is a vote for
KEGS

The public record of candidates for
office is a matter of public interest
and concern. BY their works shall
We know them. The private records
OF the candidates is not a matter for
discussion by the newspapers, and SO
far as the Statesman is concerned it
will not be feature of the city cam
paign.

The gamblers are simply taking a
little summer vacation now, They
will return to vote for Hunt and KEGS,
and if their ticket wins they will pre-
pare to open up business at their old
stands. knowing that they run little
risk of arrest and punishment as long
as their friends are in power.

The morning paper, which started
the city campaign by abusing eX-
Governor Moore and other so-called
Boxers" has now decided that it
will wage a clean campaign. The
Statesman is pleased to know that
the Union has seen the error Of its
ways and that it promises to be good
hereafter

1t is stated on reliable authority
that about twenty gamblers who left
this city when the new law making
their business felony went into eff
feet. will be furnished free transpor-
tation by the Burford- Smails machine
to return here and vote on July 10.
There is no question how they will
vote. They know that Mayor Hunt

INJURED
IN A COLLISION
Freight Train Crashes Into
Trolley Car of Pittsburg
Railways Company

Plttsburg. April IA trolley car
of the Pittsburg Railways Company
was struck by Baltimore and Ohio
freight train at the Fleet street grade
crossing in Rankin borough, and the
16 passengers aboard the car were
all more or less injured. Two of the
passengers, Mrz. Catherine Powers, OF
Turtle Creek, and Mrs. Jane Morton
were seriously hurt. The car was
dragged 80 yards and completely
wrecked. That no more serious re-
suits followed the collision is con-
sidered a miracle. The traction com
pany officials say that on account OF
the slippery rail the car could not oe
checked at the safety stop.
