LONG ALWAYS WINS.

No doubt the new fire engine is a
first class machine, but that is no rea-
son why this city should pay $1,000
for it when under competitive bids
the same class of engine has been sold
to other cities for $4,000 and an engine
of the same class with rubber tires and
ball bearing aXles for $4,000. Walla
Walla may be proud of her new fire
engine but she has no reason to be
proud of the big price she paid for it..
The Statesman has shown that at
Omaha, Nebraska, Il cut of $500 was
CINE No. l under competition and at
Los Angeles, California. a cut of 500
was made. This proves that it pays to
invite competition in the purchase of
all apparatus and supplies for the city.
Last night the city council decided
to buy a combined hose cart and
chemical engine of A. G. Long of Port
land for $3.50. The Seagrave Com
pany of Columbus, Ohio. offered to
furnish one of their machines of this
sort for $1645. but Long got the con-
tract for the alleged reason that his
machine is stronger and better than
the other. Possibly it is, but Agent
Long certainly must have winning
way as he always comes out ahead
regardless of prices.
Long by the way had nothing to do
with the purchase of a team for the
lire department for only $3.50.

BAKERS GRAVEYARD COMMIT,
TEE

George H. Baker of Klickitat county,
who is republican national commit
teeman for this state by the grace of
the railroad lobby, and who was chair
man of the railroad committee in the
last state senate, says that any
school boy knew after the last cleo
ton that there was no show for a
commission bill"
AS both parties in state convention
had declared unanimously for an ap-
pointiNe railway commission as ad-
Focated by Governor Mcbride. Why
was it SO plain after the republicans
had won that there was no show for a
commission? The Only answer is that
it was because so many men of Ba-
kers character and caliber had been
elected to the legislature These men
had no regard whatever for the
pledges that their party had made and
that many of them had made individ-
ually to their constituents, but as soon
as their election was certain thew be-
gan to dicker with the railroad lobby
Tor inducements to repudiate the party
platform.
III was because Baker was known to
be close associate Of George Stew
enson and servile tool Of the lobby
that Doe Smith, president of the sem
ate, chose him for chairman of the
railroad committee. From the moment
OF his selection his committee was
known as Bakers graveyard" Smith
himself secured his position by bar

CONSCIENCE OF MAN.

Were it not that now and then some
man comes forward with a contribu-
ton to the conscience fund most of
us would be of the opinion that the
conscience of man had been left out
in his makeup The latest contribu-
tor to this fund S Detroit man who
sent through a lawyer 1925 to the

and it was upon the advice of the
priest that he dug up. as it We're, the

This contribution is the more in
teresting because it was made to a
railroad company. Such CORPORATIONS
have generally been considered right
full prey and any man who could sue
cessfully get away even with a 2-cent
stamp from a railroad company has
been considered a genius. That there

a man who could secure an unearned

itself a great achievement. That he

shadow of doubt that there are men
in the world possessed of consciences
in good working order.

ACCEPTING OUR EVILS,

Progressive Japan, in emulating the
United States, has borrowed some of
our evils of municipal administration.
Professor Iso Abe gives an interest
ing picture of Japanese methods in a
consideration of civic difficulties in To-
kio which he contributes to a Toxic
trade journal.
He draws attention to the enthusiasm
which the department of the interior
shows in investigating the subjects OF
municipal home-rule and the munici-
pal control of public utilities. The de-
partment, he says, encourages the
tendency for investing municipalities
with large power.
The interest in favor of home rule
and municipal ownership he attributes
to dissatisfaction over the granting
of franchises to public corporations
Toxic has street railways. waterworks
and electric and gas plants, but the
waterworks are the only public SER
vice concern which the city owns.
He states that in 1898 the city coun :
Gil of Toxic recommended a munich
pal street railway system, and in 1893
the same council granted a fifty-year
franchise to private company. The
franchise contains a condition that
the city may acquire the road in 1892
For the privileges granted it is stipu-
lated that the city shall annually re-
ceive one-third of whatever surplus
remains after per cent. is deducted
from the receipts as interest and 10
per cent. is deducted for the reserve
fund.
Proceeding, he points out that the
towns and villages own forests and
meadows, whereas the cities ignore
the Importance of municipal control of
public utilities. American cities own
parks and Fairgrounds, but give prof
liable franchises to private corpora
tions. He says that the trouble in
Japanese cities is politics.
Professor Abe's article bears a strik-
ing resemblance to many that have
been written about American cities
Toxic seems to be doing very we'll
as an imitatOr, and it will probably
do as badly as a sufferer. But Toxic
and its sister cities have the advan-
tage of our experiences. There is yet
time for Japanese cities to reform and
make better beginnings.
The situation in Toxic appears to
confirm the theory that many of the
failures in American cities may be
charged to inexperience and rapid
progress. Conditions had to be met as
they We're found. After the recon-
structiOn new starts will be made and
municipal government will conform to
the ideal on practical standards. If
Toxic can make serious mistakes to-
day, it is not surprising that serious
mistakes were made by American
cities in gaining experience

LIFE OF A BATTLESHIP,

In discussion on the naval apprO-
priation bill in the senate the other
day it was brought out that in the
opinion of the naval experts the bat
tleships Indiana. Oregon. Massachu-
Sets and Texas would be retired from
the line in 1908. In other words. that
four years more of service would make
them obsolete
The vessels in question are not ten
years Old, and the question naturally
arises. What is the life of battle
ship? Apparently the question is I'M
answered by the naval experts in their
declaration that within four years
these big fighters must be taken Off
the main line Of defense and relocated
to the rear This means simply that
from twelve to fourteen years is the
life of a battleship for all first class
purposes; though, of course, it NAV
continue in the navy as a valuable
fighting adjunct for many years fol-
lowing its retirement from the line.
1t is pointed out by naval experts
that battleships are being built larger
and heavier than before While the
ones in question cost about $4,000. 900
each, the new battleships proposed
will cost approximately 5000 900 each.

were made with an eye single to Kill
ing any measure not acceptable to the
lobby.
Baker has recently rushed into
print to deny that Governor Mcbride
is gaining strength in the state. No
one can deny that Mcbride has gain
cd immensely in Walla Walla county
since the last primaries were held in
the spring of 1902. At that time the
Levites had everything their own way,
the Mcbride men making no effort
whatever to elect delegate to the
county Convention or to the state con-
vention. All the outspoken Mcbride
men in the county if brought togeth-
er would not have made a good sized
precinct caucus.
But it is different now. At the or
ganiza ton of the Roosevelt Nc Bride
club a few weeks ago $50 voters were
present and the membership roll car
ried the signatures of 56S voters, re-
siding in all parts Of the county. No
man of sound political judgment now
doubts that the Boxers will give the
Holy Rollers a fight for their money
at the primaries next month.
If Mcbride has gained proportion
ately in other counties OF eastern
Washington, he will rout the lobby
horse, foot and dragons. There is no
doubt that Whitman county will in
dorse him with whoOp and a hurrah
and he has splendid show to win in
every other county east Of the Cas-
cades with the possible exceptions of
klickitat, Yakima and Columbia. The
real danger to Mcbride is on the west
side, where the sentiment in favor of
strong. The Statesman would NOT be
surprised to see him beaten by the
of resources and it is not safe to call
him a loser until all the delegates are
chosen. In King county there is a
probability of a combination between
Mcbride and Sam Piles to knock out
Doe Smith, and in Pierce county May
or Campbell and Congressman Cush-
man have no reason for joining the
railroad lobby against Mcbride, as it
is doing it's best to eliminate all three
of them from the political checker
board.
From the standpoint of the demo-
cratic party it would be a lucky thing
if Mcbride should be defeated for the
nomination, as it would give the GEM
ocrats their only chance of electing a
governor and legislature. With a
strong commission candidate like Toll
man of Spokane or McCroskey of
Whitman county the democrats would
have as good a show to win as they
had in 1900, if not better.
Whatever may be the fate of Nc
Bride at the hands of his party, the
people of this state are overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the proper regula-
ton and just taxation of railroads and
all other corporations, and if the re-
publican party does not afford them
an opportunity to get the reforms they
demand, they are ready to assert their
'ivic virtue, manhood, courage and in
governor and a democratic legislature.

Taggart and Illinois.

As between the Democratic National
Committee Chairman Thomas Taggart
and the Democratic leaders Of Illinois,
the situation is, to put it mildly, more
than melancholy.
Chairman Taggart came to Chicago
and went away again leaving behind him
a trail of blasted hopes. The Illinois
Democrats expected to get some money
from the Democratic party, atfiuent for
the first time in many years, because the
trusts are with the Democracy. But
Chairman Taggart has no money to give
to Illinois. Whatever else may be said
of Chairman Taggart-who is a fine fel.
low-it has never been said of him that
he was a fool. He knows better than
to waste money on Illinois in this cam
paign, and has practically, SO expressed
himself.
This makes one sympathize and regret
somewhat the condition of the Democra-
tic leaders in Illinois, but exalts ones
esteem of Chairman Taggart's good
sense.
