Inquiry at the office Of the First Pres

dispatch Is Andrew g. Peterson, nephew
OF Bishop James G. Peterson Of Fair

a mission to New Zealand last Janu-

was deemed advisable to release him

affected and this, doubtless, accounts
for his rash act.
As soon as news OF the attempted
suicide was received, President Joseph

was wired to investigate the matter and
report at once, This he did with the
result that this afternoon he verified
the dispatch and stated that Elder Pc

ton. The outlook for his recovery how

which they appear-LawsOn has stood
as a man disguised with crime in high
places, with sham and hypocrisy, de-
termined to drag the financial heavy
weights into the range of the X-ray,
that through their gilded coatings
there might be seen those hideous
things-greed, avarice and rapine;
that behind these unmasked monsters
and lying along the time-corridor OF
the past decade there might be seen
the forms of their victims-the widow
bewailing her vanished pittance,
impoverished orphans, embezzling
bank clerks, and the skeletons of the
suicides of the many ruined by the
great game of high finance"
And so it has gone on, with public
interest in the disclosures increasing
from day to day.
Now comes upon the scene a rude,
coarse Hibernian iconoclast bearing
the name Donohue, who pens clever
article for the New York Commercial.
Bosh with capital B. He brings up
out of the past a once widely heralded
investment proposition backed and ex-
plotted by Lawson, called the Trinity
Copper company, and asks Lawson
how about it. What, asks Mr.. Dono-
hue, has become of this $6,0O0.00O
proposition, and where are the divi-
dends promised in the circular letters
issued by Lawson, which Mr.. Donohue
reproduces, and where is the money
the widows and orphans put into the
scheme?
For answer, Mr.. Donohue says there
is practically Abandoned property
in the west, a number of buildings and
some machinery all going to decay.
and two men in charge of the plant,
who, with Lawson, Mr.. Donohue
thinks must be the Trinity" referred
to in the company name.
This would appear to put it up to
Lawson to show the simple reader,
unfamiliar with the finer distinctions
of high finance, just wherein, except
in degree, his scheme was fundament-
ally different, and why the trust mag
mates should not be Jumped together
for better or worse in the minds of
the ordinary observer who believes in
calling a spade a spade.
Either Mr.. DOnOhue has slandered
Mr.. Lawson, or the latter is posing in
a false light, and is knocking" the
other fellows for playing the very
game at which he appears to be an
adept.

1t will be interesting to watch Sam
Piles, John L. Wilson and Addison G..
Foster tumble over each other in their
eagerness to shout and work for a
railway commission bill when the leg
iSlature meets next month. 1t is truly
wonderful what zeal these candidates
for the United States senate have
manifested in behalf of a railway
commission since eastern Washington
elected about forty republican mem
bers of the Legislature instead of send
ing a majority of democrats, as had
been expected. The eastern Washing
ington members will make a big mis-
take if they do not take advantage of
the eagerness of the senatorial candi-
dates to receive their support by in
sisting that a commission bill be pass
ed before the election of a senator.
Then we would see all the senatorial
candidates working with all their
might to hurry through a commission
law.

STILL A DOUBTFUL QUESTION.

The county loses s3.414.45 this year
by following the new law regarding
the taxation of bank stock. The re-
duction amounts to 3S As per cent.
Even if the new law is constitu-
tional, which many lawyers question
it is not certain that it applied to last
years assessment. The old law re-
quired the assessor to take valuations
as they existed on March 1. The new
law. having an emergenA clause,
went into effect March IL, 1903. and
whether or not it applied to the as
sessment OF that year is a matter that
can be determined only by judicial
decision
me old law required the assessment
of bank stock according to it's market
value which in the case of the two
national banks of this city is from
four to seven times the par value The
new law allows the banks to fix their
own valuation on their stock This is
privilege not granted to taxpayers
in general and it looks like class
favoritism
Many taxpayers would like to see
the legal questions involved settled
by the highest judicial authority. One
would hardly expect attorneys often

POT VS.. KETTLE.

Anyone who has read the series Of
articles running in a popular magazine
under the title "FrenZied Finance"
must have been impressed by the dis
closures of corruption in high places,
and of general rottenness in the realm
of the money king. With this he must
have experienced a sense of satisfac-
ton, that, sitting high in the financial
circle, there should be found one man
honest and fearless enough to expose
it ALL And so a majority of readers,
those more especially of the west, have
come to look upon Thomas Lawson,
the writer, as a sort of modern finan-
cial Hercules( with the task upon him
in this case selm-impOsed-of clean
ing the Augean stables of Wall street.

ceives no pay for the articles, and is in
no wise interested in the publication in

THE GREAT WAVE OF IMMIGRA-
TION.

Although the volume of immigration
into the United States in the last fis-
cal year decreased $4,000 as compared
with the number of the preceding
year. it was still enormous, being S12,-
$40. To give an adequate impression
of this number some comparisons need
total population of North and South
Dakota or to that of the whole of Can
ada from the Great Lakes to the Pa
cific. If ST. Louis were to be depop-
ulated this wave of humanity could
fill it up again and leave about 100000
people for the suburbs. 1t is greater
than the population of this state by
at least $4,000.
But We have long since passed the
point in the United States when the
size of the annual human influx is a
matter of rejoicing. We are now far
more concerned about the quality.
With the increase in recent years of
the number of persons coming from
eastern and southern Europe, there
has been a tendency to conclude that
the human stock We are receiving is
much inferior to that we were getting
80 years ago, when the northern coun-
tries of Europe were almost the only
source. Opinion on this point is not
unanimous, some observers holding
that after all the bulk of the people
we are getting from southern Europe
are very good human stock, certain to
improve and flourish wonderfully in
the free life of America
At any rate, the quality of the immi-
grants coming from northern Europe
whatever be the opinion regarding
those who come from the south, there
can be no dissatisfaction with figures
that show a great decline in the past
year in the number of immigrants
from the doubtful countries and a
large increase in those from the coun-
tries of northern Europe. One of the
most notable gains is that of the i'm
migration coming from the British
islands, the increase being over $4,000.
This is remarkable in view of the ex-
traordinary efforts being put forth to
divert this population movement to
Canada and other colonies. AS the
British emigrants who come to the
United States receive no governmental
assistance or encouragement of any
kind, it is likely that in respect to en-
ergy, initiative, resourcefulness and
independence they are the cream of
the annual efflux from the old country.
1t is notable that the northwestern
states, though without any immigra-
ton bureaus, received $4,000 of the
total immigration, and their share is
of most excellent quality. The excel
lence of these newcomers consists not
only in their physique and character,
but also in their destination and
choice of occupations. The bulk of
them go to the small towns and the
country and become farmers or farm
laborers.

employed by the banks to give an
opinion adverse to the interests of
their clients, and it is strange that the
county commissioners would expect to
get an unbiased opinion in that way.
But the county will pay the bill and
the settlement will stand.
The county will also pay to the
state it's full quota of the taxes on
bank stock as raised by the board of
equalization, which amounts to over
$11OO.
Nobody blames the banks for get
ting off as cheaply as they can in the
matter of taxation All of us do that.
1t is generally conceded, moreover,
that our county commissioners do all
things wisely and we'll and all good
citizens will gracefully acquiesce in
their decision regarding taxes on bank
stock.

But after that the Solid Thirteen split
up. There has not been a single aceu-
sation of malfeasance against Mr.. Long
or Mr.. Aylett.
Il will say that the talk among white
men about scratching is alarming. We
are going to the Hawaiian electorate
telling them to vote the straight Repub-
lican ticket, but suppose in the future
we ask them to vote for our men and
they say to us, you taught us to vote
a split ticket and that's what we are
going to do. What then will you do?
There has been talk of cutting the
ticket because of Governor Carter. The
candidates are pledged to support the
platform. They are not dummies, auto
nations or asses. They are no going
into this fight because of the Governor,
and for his action in putting out a cou-
pie of men from Office. What has the
Governor of this Territory to do with
the fight? If you have not read the
Democratic platform you had better do
So The candidates do not pledge them
selves to do anything for the Terri
tory. They do say they are going to
cut salaries and they are going to in
crease the income tax. Whom does that

plantation interests and turns in his in

are the ones who pay because we are

the Governor and want to raise the in
come tax. IF any Democrat is a man
OF honor. he viii, when elected, uphold
his platform upon which he was elected.
That means that he will oppose nearly
all financial measures proposed by the
Governor. What does Mr.. Kinney say

Mr.. Towse of the Fourth District
Committee said he did not believe from
the canvass he was making in the pre-
cincts that the split ticket movement
was gaining.
Even when I have talked with a
man about it, the man who says he is
to split the ticket, hasn't made up his
mind who the split candidate will be.
