WOULDN'T BE PROPER

Says Reyes, for Him to Decline EIec-
ton to Presidency.
Washington, Jan. although he
declared that under any circumstances
he would not be a candidate for the
presidency of Colombia, Gen. Reyes
does not feel that he can decline to
serve now that he has been selected
and he expects to accept. The gener-
al is essentially a soldier. not poll
tician and bis preferences are for the
army; still knowing that he has been
chosen for the selection of electors in
Colombia is said to be equivalent to an
election as in the United States, he
will accept the Office. Gen. Reyes is
highly esteemed by the people of Col
ombia and now that he has received
their er1orsement through the cleo
ton Q" eloCf ors favorable to him, feels
it vo~-d aot = proper to decline the
preside r+ial ONCE.

AN ABLE DEFENSE
Mr.. Lodge Carefully Discusses the
Panama Situation.


Washington, Jan. 6.-Close atten-
ton was given in the senate to
speech by Mr.. Lodge on the situation
on the isthmus of Panama. He dis
cussed the abstract question of the
right of the president to recognize tie
independence Of a new nation, ard
concluded that such prerogative per-
tains exclusively to the Office of the
chief executive. He also contended
that there had been a general expec-
tation of an uprising in Panama In
case of the failure of the Hay-Herra1
treaty, and declared that the presi-
dent could not have done less than
inform himself of the prospects. Mr..
Lodge argued that our intervention in
Panama had been only in the interest
of peace and contended that the pres
ident had not gone a step beyond what
the proprieties called for. Mr.. Lodge
criticised the presidential administra
ton of Mr.. Cleveland, saving that he
did not think anything could be hap
pier for the Republicans than to have
the Democrats nominate the last Dem
OcTatic reform president on policy
OF sustaining Colombia and opposing
ihe United States in digging canal at
Panama

PAT WINSTON'S CHALLENGE.

The report of the interstate COM
merce commission for the year ending
June 80, 1903 has just been made pub
| lie says Winston's Weekly.
The principal function OF the inter-
state commerce commission is to make
| an annual report to congress. showing
| how badly the railroads of the country
need regula ting, and how impotent the
commission is to accomplish anything
for the public good. Each report closes
with a playful appeal to congress- to so
amend the law, as TO jus tify III small
degree at least. the continued existence
| of the commission. To this congress
always turns a deaf ear. and always
Will do so. as long as the people per
| NIT the railroads to select their sena-
tors and congressman for them. Take
| this state for example. Suppose the
question of so amending the interstate
commerce act. as to give 1t SOne ben
eficial force were submitted to the del
egatiOn in congress from this state.
how would it fare? Suppose the amend
ment proposed TO clOthe the commits
sion With jurisdiction to punish by the
intiiction OF adequate penalties, the
giving of rebates to favored shippers
the granting of free transportation, the
unjust discrimination in freight rates,
and all of the other violations of the
interstate commerce act which are of
daily occurrence, and suppose its pas
sage depended upon the votes of the
senators and representatives in con-
gress of the state of Washington. How
! long before Gabriel blows his horn
, would such an amendment be likely to
become law? And in this respect the
state of Washington is by no means
| the only pebble on the beach. There
certainly are others.
This last report of the commission.
from what We have Seen of it in the
press dispatches, is one of the most in
tereSting yet issued. 1t embraces a
little over 9S per cent of the entire rail-
road mileage of the United States. 1t
includes the great trunk lines with
| their enormous earning capacity, with
| the thousands and thousands of miles
earning practically nothing, and some
| of them earning even less than moth
| ing. being operated at a loss. and yet
| the average net earnings for last year
| of this entire eS per cent OF the rail-
| roads of the United States was $31S5

RIGHT TIME TO ACT

The Statesman urged the city cOun-
Ill to fix maximum rates to be charged
FOR gas and electric lights when the
tNrenty-tiN five year franchises were being
considered last August. The morn
ing paper MAS silent at that critical
time 1t is doubtful whether the city
noW has q legal right to fix prices for
lights. IN Chicago yesterday Federal
Judge GrosScup held that the state of
Illinois did not delegate to the city the
power To regulate the price OF gas.
The decision was the outcome of suits
brought by u. -. Mills as a StOckhOld-
er in the Peoples Gas Light & Coke
Company. asking for miunctionS re-
Straining the city from reducing the
price OF gas to - cents per thousand
cubic feet. Both injunctions We're
granted.
After It's experience With the water
franchise. the telephone franchise and
the light franchises. perhaps the city
of Walla Walla will learn that fran
are worth a good deal of money and
that they should not be granted with
out proper restrictions and: reasonable
compensation.

per mile. Just think Of it. The great
transcontinental trunk lines like the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern are actually worth $500 per mile,
and the inferior lines. railroads of the
second, third and fourth classes are
worth very much less per mile. But
here on firSt-clasS railroad is an an
nuai net return of practically so per
cent of it's value. On railroads of the
second. third and fourth classes the
per cent is very much higher. what
better business venture can be mag
med than this? Think of it. Railroads.

ly equipped. we'll and economically
managed or poorly and extravagantly
managed, or not managed at all. and
yet they return to their fortunate own
ers so per cent Of their value in a
single year!
We say so per cent of their value.
and we think we speak advisedly. 1t
is true that we have never either built
or owned a railroad. and no railroad
owns u.s. but the county assessors of
the state of Washington are a bright.
shrewd lot of men. They know the
value of mans farm, of the stock on
his farm. of his tools and machinery.
of his household and kitchen furniture,
down to the last cup and saucer or tin
cup he has. These men know the
value of city block. of the stocks of
merchandise contained in them, of the
tools of mechanics. and of all sorts
and species of property. tangible and
intangible. You will find all of this
not once in a thousand times will you
find any of it assessed too low. Now
these men Of excellent Judgment; these
incOmparab bic experts on the subject OF
values. have fixed the value of rail-
road right-of-way. whether wide or
narrow with the rOad-bed. and all SUI
perstrucetures thereon. at the rate of
$500 per mile. Not only this. but this
Judgment Of the assessors as to the
value of a mile of railroad has been
affirmed by the county boards OF equa-
lizatiOn. composed of good men and
true. VINO would not pc nnuenCeC' OF
made to SwerVe a hairs breadth from
their duty by the railroad passes which
they carry in their pockets. And these
county boards of equalization, them
selves splendid judges of all sorts of
values. have in turn been affirmed by
the state board of equalization. On
these indisDutable facts we say we
know that a mile of first-clasS rail-
road. like that of the Great Northern
or it's twin. Northern Pacific. is worth
detiantly challenge any pin-headed
pap sucking railroad organ in the state
to show us single mile on the main
line of either Of the roads that is worth
less than that sum.

locked. The theater was not Sufnclent-
ly supplied with exits, but, without a
doubt. the fatalities would have been
comparatively few had all the doors
and fire escapes been available. Con-
seouently, the size, the convenience OF
access and the constant availability OF
the exits figure in any discussion as to
the number required. 1t is probably
fair to say that one for every seventy
five persons, including fire escapes,
would serve the purpose. A MAORI
ty of theaters could meet this require
ment.
A display of unexampled stringency
in an emergency like that which Chi
cago has faced is the best proof that
the agitation is but temporary. NO
good end is served by closing un all
the playhouses indefinitely. Such as
cannot be rendered safe should be
specifically condemned. The others

ing taken the essential precautions to

JUSTIFIED BY EVENTS.

Yet in '96 and 1900 it (the States
mani contended, with democratic
newspapers everywhere, that the laws
of supply and demand and the favor OF
Providence had nothing to do with the
price of farm products. but that 1t all
depended upon the price of silver
Sundays Union.
What the Statesman did contend,
| and it still adhere to the same opinion,
land il still adheres to the same opinion.
| of farm products depends upon the
| laws of supply and demand. When the
government demand for silver was cut
| off by the decentralization act of 1873
the price of course fell, while the value
OF gold rose correspondingly because
OF the increased demand for it as
money.
| That the cumulative theory OF
money is correct is proven by the fact
that better prices and better times
came with the doubling of the volume
Of metallic money in this country by
the enormous increase in the produc-
ton of gold since 1896. This increase
with consequent increased coinage OF
gold swelled the volume of money in
the nation much more than could have
been done by the free coinage of sill
YER 1t settled the silver question for
the time by supplying all the money
needed for the transaction of business.
Without this increased production of
gold we would still be having financial
stringency and hard times. Short
! crops abroad and big crops at home IN
! the period between 1896 and 1908
would have given some relief to Am
| erican farmers and the nation in gen.
eral but the tide of prosperity would
never have reached the point to which
| it was carried by the abundance of
| money caused by the doubling Of the
coinage of gold. If the. production OF
gold should ever again fall off to what
| it WAS prior to 1896 the demand for
the free coinage of silver would be re-
vived and it would have a logical foun-
dation.
