The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-08-23

The republicans of Ferry county Sat
urday adopted a platform indorslng the
national ticket and platform but ignor-
ing the state ticket and platform. AS
Ferry county is one of the counties that
supported Atkinson for governor and
failed to declare for a railway COM
mission in the early republican con-
vention. the slight put upon Boss Far
rels ticket is significant. 1t goes to
show that Ferry county will join the
other counties of eastern Washington
in rolling up at least 10000 majority
for George Turner as the next gov
ernor of the state of Washington.

KILL OFF THE WEEDS.

Walla Walla is a beautiful city dur

vacant lot in the city. For example,
business lots just beyond the telephone
exchange on East Alder street, on the

and on the edges of the sidewalks,

the streets. He should be authorized
to employ a sufficient force of men to
do this work thoroughly and every
property owner should be made to do
his share toward Kidding the city of
the weed nuisance.
On almost any vacant lot in the city
weeds enough are allowed to go to seed
every year to scatter the pest all over
the town and the county.
Property owners DESTROYS of keeping
their grounds free from weeds find
their work made ten times more diff

terminate ON every street and vacant

vacant lots in a city for garden patches
become weed patches menacing the
lawns of the city and the grain fields
of the county with their bountiful
harvest of seed.
The rank growth of weeds nearly
everywhere in this city reminds one
of the story of the sluggard in the old
readers of twenty five years ago. where
the semblance of a man in rags and
tatters standing near his tumble down
snanty surrounded by tall weeds is
told: Go to the ant thou sluggard.

The city is in need of a local i'm

more civic pride. a few months ago
the Ladies' Art Club of this city made
protest to the council against the
buildng.o f the new fire station at the
corner of East Alder and Park streets
because of apprehension that it would
mar natural beauty spot 1t turned
out that the club was needlessly alarm
ed, as the building when completed was
acknowledged to be AN ornament to
that part of town. But there is a wider
field for the attention of the ladies OF

When Main street shall undergo the
paving process it is hoped by business
men that the whole street will not be
torn up at once, thus driving customers
to other streets and paralyZing the
trade of majority of the business
houses of the town. One or two blocks
at a time should be the rule and the
street should not be disturbed more
than two hundred feet ahead of the
manipulators of the asphalt. Rains
will soon set in and if the whole street
is plowed up at once the mud and
debris impeding travel either on foot
or awheel will make conditions almost
intOlerable.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT in IDAHO

The Idaho board of equalization has
fixed the valuation of first class rail-
roads of the state the same as last
year, when the taxes were paid with
out protest. The Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern are assessed at
$4,000 a mile. the Oregon Short Line at
$500 and the O. r. & N. which mas
only Sc miles of track in the state, at
$1,000. 1t will be seen that these rates
are higher than those agreed upon by
the assessors of this state in their con-
vention at Spokane, 1920 being the
valuation fixed for first class roads.
In Montana the valuations are higher
than in Idaho and the railroad taxes
are collected without difficulty.
The threat of litigation on the part
of railroad tax agents in this state has
been mainly a big bluff. When the
legislature was talking of reducing
freight rates a few years ago railroad
attorneys testified that the railroads
had to earn dividends on a valuation of
about $4,000 a mile and that they
would be made bankrupt if the pro-
posed reduction in rates went into eff
feet. If that statement was true the
railroads cannot show that a valuation
of $4,000 dollars a mile, one eighth of
the market value, is an unreasonable
assessment.

The Contest of 1895.


TIL elegislature of 1895 was strongly
republican, and there was a United
States senator to be elected. The
avowed candidates We're John l.. Will
son and Levi Ankeny, and on the first
joint ballot Wilson received q votes
and Ankeny 49, the others We're scat
tering, but George Turner's name was
not before the convention.
On the fourth ballot Turner received
6 votes. The Spokane members then
rapidly drifted from Wilson to Turner
and on the ninth ballot Turner received
10 to only for Wilson-while An
keny received % votes and John 3. AL
len "a.
There was a general sentiment
among the republicans throughout the
state that those who We're blocking
the election of a senator should re-
lease their supporters and permit a
senator to be elected. Wilson was the
lowest on the list and had his party
loyalty been equal in magnitude to his
selfishness he would have graciOusly
retired from the contest and returned
to Washington Where his duties as a
member of congress required his pres
ence. But his seven votes were suffi-
cieDt to maintain the deadlock AMI
the deadlock continued

Turner's Letter.

At no time had George Turner been
a candidate before that session of the
Legislature for senator. His friends had
been voting for him because Of his ,c-
knowledged qualifications, and it was
all done without his consent. On Jan
uary q, three days after the first vote
was cast for Judge Turner, that gem
tleman addressed the following COM
munication to Senator Helm, which
My Dear Senator: In order that the
use Of my name in the present sena
election of some acceptable republican,
l insist that you will cause it to be
dropped in the further balloting by the
legislature. *"
The next distinguished candidate
who was willing to sacrifice his per-
sonal interests for the purpose of
promoting party harmony was Mr.. An
keny. BY that time the organized OPP
position to Wilson had gone TO pieces
though an effort was made by the
friends of Judge Turner and Mr.. An
keny to unite upon Judge Dunbar of
the supreme court; but it came too
late, for the members of the legisla-
ture We're then willing to take anybody
for senator in the hope that thereby
they might be rid of the obstruction
that was hindering the work of shat
body.
Ia the light of this history it is rot
in good taste for the Wilson influences
in the state to question Mr.. Turner'S
loyalty to his party while he was acting
with the organization. How he ceased
to be a republican is another matter,
and a full knowledge of the facts will
show that he was always loyal to his
convictions-a statement that can not
be made of many of the other party
leaders of 10 years ago.

eSSnlent.

If a republican governor and re-
publican legislature pledged by their
party platform could not be depended
upon to give the people of this state
the railway commission for which both
parties had declared, what can be eX-
pected of a republican governor and a
republican legislature elected on plat
form from which the question of a
railway commission was cut out by the
party convention after full discussion?
Whenever one can gather hgs from
thistles. grapes from thorns or money
from hornets we may expect to get an
effective railway and tax commission
from the republican party so long as it
remains under the domination of Boss
Farrell and other railway lobbyists.

by those who have been familiar wit
the politics of Washington during tn
last 10 years, says the Seattle Time
dozen years ago the republica,
party in the state was dominated by
corrupt horde of place seeking poll
ticians as ever preyed upon the tax
payers of any community. Their head

sections of the state.
The leaders of the opposition were
the prominent republicans of Pierce

scene in the state convention in 1894

aisle and shook his finger in the faces
of King county bosses and declared
that King county had snapped the whip

fortunate enough to witness this de-
claration of independence.
The present "P-I," editor was then
deriving his sustenance from the ia

remarkable castigation. There is no
particular reason why he should love
