LAND FRAUDS IN OREGON.
Large Number Of Arrests Made in Pen
deton Yesterday.

Another sensation in connection with
the land frauds being brought to light
was sprung in Pendleton yesterday
when United States District Attorney
Hall and Deputy United States Mar
shall Proebstel arrived in the city and
began serving warrants on Charles
Cunningham. Hon. 6. A. Hartman, ST.,
Joe H. Parkes, Asa Rayburn, Dallas
O.Hara. Glen H. Sailing. Shelly Jones,
Mark Shackleford, Kate James, John
Doe and Richard Roe. The warrants
gentlemen from Portland reached the
city and all afternoon United States
Land Commissioner John Haily, jr.,
was kept busy noting the arrests and
taking bonds for the release of the per-
sons.
Charles Cunningham is charged with
the principal crimes. He is named as
party to all the conspiracies to de-
fraud the government out of the land
ing. Asa Rayburn, Shelly Jones, Mark
Shacllleford, Kate James and others
made false affidavits. 1t is charged
against him in the complaint of Mr..
Green that he induced these people to
make entries upon the lands noted by
him for the sole purpose to gain pos
final proofs had been made. He is q
party to the counts against all the
others.

the comparatively easy acquisition of
the southern portion of the great island
of Saghalien from Japan in exchange

Japan has already mobolized her first

and has her fine modern navy with

Russian naval attack, if the latter
chooses to risk one.
If Russia wishes for war, she can
evidently have all she wants of it, al
though her item of war expenditures
in the past hangs like a milestone
around her neck, while 80 per cent. of
her inhabitants are more or less in

F'ANORITISM IN TAXATION.

One example of the attitude of the
last lobby ridden Legislature toward
the taxation of corporations was the
passage of a law giving to national
seSsments to be delivered to the county
assessors. Under the old law bank
stock was assessable at it's market
value. according to a decision of the
United States supreme court, but under
the new law bank stock will be assess
able at its par value. The difference
will be comprehended when it is stated
that the market value of hundred
dollar share of the First National Bank
of this city is not less than five hum
dred dollars.
The new law was enacted on the Sd
day of March. 1903. and it carried an
emergency clause putting it into effect
Immediately. But the revenue law of
the state provides that assessments
shall be made according to the values
on March LIST. two days before the new
law Went into effect. Taking this fact
into consideration, the commissioners
of this county. under he HIvice of
former Assessor Cadman, raised the
assessment of bank stock ~ 1903 to
the figures of 1907 ':ased on the mar
ket value. The banks a limited the
legality of the assessment of 1902 by
withdrawing their injunction suits
against the collection of the same and
paying the county treasurer in full.
The same question will come before
the city council when it sits as a board
of equalization within a few months
and upon its decision will depend the
question Of whether the city shall be
richer or poorer by something over
$500
The new law giving banks the right
to make their own assessments is
plainly class favoritism and. therefore,
unconstitutional. 1t should be repealed
by the next legislature as soon as pos
sibe. if it is not killed sooner by Il de-
cision of the state supreme court.

The enactment of an appOintive com

ward destroying the power of the rail-

LESSON FROM CALIFORNIA.

Governor Pardee of California SAYS
III letter to the Union that since
railroads have assumed such import
ance i'll connection With our industrial
system and since their progress and
consolidation have brought railroad
ownership into the hands of a few
strong corporations, it is. no doubt,
necessary that there should be some
form of public regulation"
California has a good commission
law but through its control of the po-
litical machinery of the state the
Southern Pacific monopoly has usually
named the commissioners. who have
served this powerful corporation rath
er than the people. Two or three times
within the tWenty-SeVen years that
the commission law has been in force
honest commissioners We're elected,
who did good service for the people in
reducing freight rates and correcting
inequalities. When this occurred the
Southern Pacific depended upon ser
vile federal judges appointed through
its influence TO prevent the orders of
the commission from going into eff
feet. California is now apparently
wholly at the mercy of the Southern
commission. but the courts of the
state, as Well As one or two federal
judges.
An elective commission has not been

that the Southern Pacific is an adept
III controlling political conventions and
naming commissioners secretly pledged
To do its Will. The people have usually
elected upright governors who would
have named competent AM honest men
as railroad commissioners if the power
Of appointment had been given to the
governor. Even a governor of Ques-
tionable integrity would hesitate to
name commissioners in the service of
the railroad monopoly for fear that he
would wreck his own political future.
In political conventions minor state
officers, such as railroad commission
ers, are selected through trades and
combinations on the more important
offices. such as governor and congress
men. 1t is in this way that the railroad
lobby is able to foist dishonest and in
competent men upon railroad commits
sions for the purpose of making the
operations of a good law ineffective.

FALSE TO IT'S TRUST.

The republican party of this state
in its last platform gave a solemn
pledge that if the people would give it
control of the state legislature they
would be given an appointive COM
mission law to regulate railroad rates
and fares and to fix railway assess
mentS on an equitable basis. This
pledge was broken by legislature
overwhelmingly republican in both
branches under inducements offered
by George Stevenson, head of the rail-
road lobby and king of Temple Flat
In the face of that solemn pledge made
by the party platform, most of the re-
publican papers of the state are OPP
posing commission law and asking
the people too ratify the betrayal of
their cause through the perfidy and
dishonor of the last Legislature.
The true friends of a railway COM
mission in this state should place no
further reliance in the promises of the
republican party. 1t has been weighed
in the balances and found wanting. 1t
has proven false to its trust and faith
less to the people. The only sensible
thing for the honest people If the state
to do now is to vote only for demo-
cratic candidates for the legislature
personally pledged to support such a
law as proposed by the Tolman COM
mission bill.

SUED THE BANK.
As Result Of the Wade Failure in
Pendleton

At PendletOn, yesterday Joseph Ney,
brought two suits in which the First
National bank is made d defendant on
account of the Wade muddle. The
biggest suit is the one in which Vey
asks judgment against the First Ma
tional bank in the sum of $61,l77 This
money the plaintiff claims is due him
on money which he deposited in the
bank at divers times with Cashier
Wade, and which the bank now refuses
to pay him.
In the second suit it is alleged that
Wade was cashier of the bank in April,
1899. Ney had on deposit there $4,000
and that Wade took this money and
loaned it to George Darveau. receiving
as security on the loan a mortgage on
the property 100x50 feet, southwest
corner of block e in the city of Pen
dletOn.

THE RIGHT VIEW.

Public service corporations must be
public.
That is the gist of the statement
made to the Hartford board of trade by
President c. S. Mellen of the New
Haven & Hartford railroad. The
sta tement is remarkable for its candOr
and its public spirit, something that
the public does not expect from high
railway officials. 1t was generally
known when Mr. Mellen was president
of the Northern Pacifis that his views
were of the general nature of the ut
terance he made at Hartford. but he
rarely expressed them. They were too
much at variance with some of Mr.. J.
J. Hills views
Mr.. Mellen said in so many words
that the public service corporations
must serve the public faithfully and
honestly or else the public utilities
public, that created them, even though
the service be less efficient and the re-
suit less satisfactory from ii financial
standpoint"
1t is certain that free people will
not long submit to tyranny and AFRO
gance from it's own creatures. The
public service corporations must I'M
derstand the true nature Of their re-
lation to the public and act in har-
mony with it or else be prepared to see
themselves ultimately dispossessed of
their property.
A multitude of evils in railway
management has proceeded from the
failure of their directors and mana gers
to realize that d railway corporation
is utterly unlike a strictly private cor
poration. From time immemOrial
transportation and government have
been closely linked together When
private agencies do not supply means
Of transportation. governments are al
ways expected to do the work. When
a government delegates special privi-
legeS to q transportation company it
is merely encouraging it to take up a
governmental task. A railway COM
pany is really the agent of the state.
This relation has been largely ig-
nored in practice. and men have talked
about railways and acted toward them
precisely as toward any piece of per-
sonal property.
Men of the Mellen school, however,
are something more than sharp clerks,
with only crude ideas of economics and
politics, raised to influential and pow
erful positions. We shall doubtless
from now on have more and more such
men. The era of railway brigandage
and speculation and exploitation g. is
passing away. Conditions are becOm-
ing permanent instead of changing
and railways have become mighty fac
tors in industry and commerce instead
of being the footballs of reckless for
tune seekers.
