error of his ways and now seeks to
bring forth fruits meet for repent
ance,' by supporting George Turner,
the ablest and most persistent cham
pion of measures that will put an end
TO the rule of the railroad lobby. How
ever. doubling Thomases will question
the sincerity of Stevensons conversion
and will be inclined to think that he
has been hired by Boss Farrell to pre-
tend to support Turner in order to
disparage the peoples candidate.
A story in the September number
of Everybody's Magazine shows how
politicians in i'll repute sometimes win
their fight by espousing the cause of
the opposition. Stevenson has become
too heavy handicap for the railroads
to carry in this years campaign and
they have, therefore, pretended to dis
charge him with the understanding
that he will shout as loudly as he can
for the enemy. 1t is a shrewd game,
but it is hardly likely that it will sue
coed in fooling a majority of the voters
this year.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-09-02

If there We're any truth in the alb
surd charge that George Turner is
the candidate of the railroad lobby for
governor he would have the support
Of every republican newspaper and
every republican politician who OPP
posed the nomination of Governor
Mcbride. But in fact every man and
every newspaper that fought Mcbride
and his proposed railway commission
are now fighting Turner with all their
might and main. Every member of
the last Legislature who voted against
the Tolman commission bill is bitterly
opposed to Turner. Some of these men
and newspapers are now pretending to
be in favor of railway commission,
but they are merely playing the role
of wolves in sleeps clothing and the
people will not be fooled by their
bleating.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-09-02

Tine morning paper says that George
Turner was nominated at the beheSt
of the most corrupt and damnable in
fiuence in the state That is a pretty
tough arraignment of the Walla Walla
county democrats who joined with
their party associates in nearly every
other county of the state in demanding
the nomination of Turner as the ablest
champion of the people in their fight
against corporate greed, eXtortion and
oppression. But the point of view
makes a great difference sometimes,
you know, and it is not at all strange
to find railroad organs afflicted with
political strabiSmuS.

COST OF GOVERNING THE UNITED
STATES.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has just
thrown light on a question that has
vexed most of us more than a little.
How much does Uncle Sam actually
take out of our pockets each year? Mr..
Atkinson, under the head of Cost Of
War and Warfare" figures the cost Of
governing the United States economi-
cally at $3.50 year per capita. But
he says that, in excess of this sum.
words, the head of a family of six per-
sons, in receipt of an income OF $1,000
been paying about 5000 for direct and
indirect taxes. These figures afford
what policy of war and oversee ex-
pansion means to him generally. Mr..
and 1890 the expenditures for ma
tional defence and for the beginning
VI ouI uSW navy were PtOA,OUO,VOV,
but that for eight years under McKin-
ley and Roosevelt the cost of war
and warfare" may be estimated at
$1,625, 100000. Much has been said in
the past about the great economic
loss to Germany and other European
nations from the maintenance of
enormous standing armies, but it looks
as if our own problem were becoming
serious. The money for the new pol
icy of aggressiveness' is raised by
taxes ON the necessaries Of life and
the raw material of our manufacturers.
But this is not all, for in the last eight
years $1,163,O 00, 900 of capital has been
diverted from natural channels, and
most of it has been converted from
the productive to the unproducrive
class.

BOTH OF THE STATE COMMIT

Wasted.

mo funds for naturalization of
voters for this campaign"
That's the sensible rule adopted by
the republican and democratic COM
mittee Of this state.
Chairman E. B. Palmer of the re-
publican state central committee re-
turned home Tuesday morning from a
10 days trip to Alaska, made for the
purpose of winding up the affairs of
the Kassan Bay Mining company, of
which he was the receiver. The con-
Germ had number of heavy creditors
in Seattle and Receiver Palmer real
lied total of $12,950 on it's assets.
Chairman Palmers first official act
upon his return, it is stated, was to
agree with the chairman of the demo-
cratic state committee to refrain from
Of defraying the expenses of natural
izing aliens This rule has been lived
up to by both organizations for four
years past.
1t is suggested that both committees
assume the attitude that the expendi
lures made in this connection are US
ually money wasted for the reason
that many of those who are natural
lied at their expense either do not
vote at all, or frequently cast their
ballots in favor of the opposition
ticket, regardless of the representa-
tons made at the time. Numerous
cases are on record where both COM
mittees have spent round sums in
former years to naturalize prospective
voters, only to find that the newly
made citizens esteemed the privilege
so lightly that they did not take the
trouble to cast their ballots on cleo
ton day.

BUSINESS MEN WILL PRESENT
PETITION TO GENERAL MAN.
AGER CALVIN.
the Washtucna CouIee-To Aid
Government.

In an effort to lend every possible
assistance to the government in its
plans to carry forward the big reclaim
alton scheme now contemplated in the
Washtucna country, the business men
in general today signed a petition, that
is to be sent to General Manager CAL
vim of the o. r. & n. company, asking
him to use his best endeavors to have
the recently established railway line
down the Washtucna coulee removed.
The petition was drawn up by"Dr. N.
G. Blalock, one Of the members of the
state board of irrigation commission
ers, who has been working assiduously
to bring about a settlement of the mat
ter between the government and the
railway company. The petition was
circulated this afternoon by Max Bau-
meister and M. H. Paxton, and every
person to whom it was presented read
lily signed it. The petition is as fol-
lows:
Walla Walla, Sept. 2, 1904.
To E. E. Calvin,
General Manager 0. r & n.
We, the undersigned patrons, ship
pers and other friends of your COM
pany, respectfully submit the following
;al, hal TO ha
true.
Whereas, the United States has I'M
dertaken through the reclamation de-
partment to construct what is known
as the Pa!ouse irrigation scheme, con-
sisting of dams, bitches and reservoirs
for the purpose of retaining by irri-
CATION, a large area of desert lands ~
ing between Washtucna and the Co
lumba river and the investment of
$4,000 600 or more for the benefit of
settlers and this great state at large.
And whereas, the government engl-
neers have located reservoir site, the
only one feasible, known as the Wash
tucna coulee, which is the key to the
scheme.
Through this coulee your company
has recently constructed railroad to
Connell We believe that the con-
struction of this irrigation scheme is
a public necessity and is of vast i'm
portance to the citizens of the state
and to your company, and believing
that your interests are in harmony
with our interests, and believing That
you do not want to go on record as
holding the government up, or being
a menace or block to advancement and
development of the natural resources
of the state, and, especially, that part
tributary to your road, and believing
that you would like to have an express
sion Of the sentiments Of your patrons
and friends, we, in confidence, present
this petition and ask that you make
it possible for the government to do
this great work, which you can do by
moving your line out of said coulee
and make the way clear, and thereby
establish in the minds of everybody
that you stand first and foremost for
DEVELOPMENT and improvement of this
great state.
