East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-12-26

Des Moines Dec. 26.-As a direct
result of the manipulations of the
livestock market in the state of Iowa
by the beef trust, there have been 43
bank failures and IL suicides in the
past two years, it is alleged today, by
state statisticians-
1t is said in the same report that
Iowa farmers have been robbed of
over $12,0O0,00O by the artificial de-
cline of prices in the livestock mar
ket, in the same period, and that un-
less the national government takes
some steps to regulate the beef trust
and the packing house combinations,
the livestock industry in the Middle
West, will be utterly destroyed.

SCHOOL TAX LEVY TOMORROW

fair to continue in the same condi-
ton for several years to come. We
have new and well-equipped school
buildings almost ready for occupation
and the expense Of maintaining them
will be heavy.
1.-THE school board asked for only
$4,000 with which to construct
schools, but the vote for double that
amount was almost unanimous. The
bonds were sold at a premium Of but
$500, but the rate of interest is low,
AZ per cent"
Last year the school tax was mills
and the entire state, county, city and
school tax amounted to 81 mills. The
county court will not fix the county
tax until January and it is thought
this years total tax will amount to
more than it was in 1908.

this because the charges are true, or
because the Amalgamated insiders
would prefer to let them pass rather
than risk being compelled to bring the
books and affairs of this blind pool into
court for public exposure?
We may not be permitted to know.
But Mr.. LawsOn's last article has MT
Mr.. Rogers in way to stir him up,
and that he should have waited until
now to take or threaten action is not
helpful to the presumption that either
he or the Amalgamated company mas
heretofore been criminally libeled.
What it is that arouses him in the
present case seems to be the allegation
that large sums OF money were en-
ployed to rescue the Bay State gas COM
pany from a receivership into which
| it had fallen, and whose continuance
would be most injurious to the various
parties interested in that fruitful
scheme of public plundering. The up
shot of the business was, according to
Lawson, that the money to buy off the
Bay state gas receivership was to come
from this republican national commit
tee fund and go to Delaware ostensl-
bly, to help Addicks turn that state.
It was really packed up in two dress
suit cases, $175,0O0 or so, taken into
court at Wilmington, Del, and, on the
discharge of the receivership on
grounds not clearly specified, was
pushed across the court room under
i the very eyes of the judge to the two
men connected with the receiyershlp

Beneath the gray DEFENDERS pail,
watch you, with a sickening sense
OF something gone, beyond recall.
The hours drag by-funereal train,
With mournful step and dropping
wings,
And to the russell garb they wear
A dull, cold sense Of heartache
clings.
Was it but yesterday the sun
Rode up the sky with joyous pace,
And touched with fame the banners
gay
The woodlands Haunted in his face?
The hillsides famed and fiared with
light,
The valleys glowed with tyrian dyes.
While golden cleaned the ripened
fields,
And blue as sapphires shone the
skies.
The lark sang on the morning air.
The quail piped from the garden wall,
And from the void the whippoorwill
Sent forth his lonesome, plaintive
call.
