THE PEOPLE VS.. THE LOBBY.

1t makes little difference what the
republican state platform may say,
whether it declares for an elective or
appointive commission or any other
kind of a commission, the experience
Of the last campaign and of the ses-
sion of the legislature that followed it
proved conclusively that republican
platform pledges are absolutely worth
less. The republican platform in 1902
promised the people that if the party
was given the governor and the legis-
ature it would create an effective
railway commission for regulating
rates and fares and preventing eXtOr-
tons and determinations. Further
more it pledged the party to equalize
the burdens of taxation so that the
'ailroads and other corporations would
be compelled to pay their just share.
When the legislature met both
houses were organized by the railroad
lODDy against tllc IeIOli1lS VI olhiSCN
by the party platform and the entire
session was made by the majority a
travesty on decency and a mOckery
of Justice and honor ITO b with
the party platform and the people be
damned was the way that one of the
mercenary traitors expressed his SEN
timents, and there is no doubt that
such was the motto of all the republic
can majority who repudiated the
sacred pledge Of the party to the peo-
pie.
After the defeat of the proposed ap-
pointive commission bill by the SEN
ate, Tolman of Spokane introduced a
resolution instructing Bakers railroad
committee to report the elective COM
mission bill, the three-cent fare bill
and other bills buried in that grave
yard. The resolution was voted down
by % solid republican votes, every
democrat voting for the resolution.
Is any further proof needed to dem
onstrate what may be expected of a
republican Legislature in the way of

railroad legislation regardless of what
the party platform may promise? II
Mcbride were elected governor this
year with republican legislature
what more could he do than with the
legislature Of 1903? The lobby al
ready has nearly enough republican
hold-overs to control the senate and by
electing three or four more the rail-
roads can block the passage of any
commission bill that does not meet
with their approval. Mcbride may
fume and scold and storm and thun-
der till he is black in the face, but he
will be unable to dislodge the lobby for
moment from it's seat of power.

assembling VI tllC les VI Z. IN
democrats of the state are practically
unanimous in their support of such
legislation and a democratic legisla-
tor who would dare to defy his party's
will would be given short shrift.
The issue this year is, Shall the cor
poratons or the people govern this
state? The railway commission issue
question. If the people of this state
would not be bound hand and foot for
should throw off the yoke now and as
sert their right to govern both them
selves and their creatures, the cor
porations. In this campaign it is the
duty of all patriotic republicans to
join with the democrats in rebuking
the traitors who violated the pledges
given by the dominant party in the
last campaign. Otherwise party plat
forms in the future will be a mockery
and a farce and the people will be left
without voice in their state govern
ment.
On national issues it may as we'll be
that the state of Washington
will go heavily republican. The cause
of Roosevelt is not in the slightest
peril in this state. There is nothing
left to fight over but state issues and
all good citizens should unite to settle
these for the best interests of the COM
regardless of party preju-
dice. The honor and the good name
Of the state demand that the perfidy
and dishOnor of the last republican
legislature be severely rebuked and
that can be done effectively only by
the election of democratic legisla-
ture. In order to avoid the friction
that might result from divided re-

GOT HIS BEAR BY THE TAIL.

With congress frantically seeking
way to adjourn through fear of COM
hitting political blunder in the way
of legislation should the session be
prolonged, it is worth while to note the
corresponding or related position OF
Mr. Roosevelt. He, too, is in painful
suspense.
The public is beginning to inquire
Now that the merger decision has
opened the way for a general on
slaught upon the trusts will Mr.
Roosevelt dare begin it?
We might imagine Mr.. Roosevelt as
immensely gratified at the success of
the Northern Securities prosecution
which he is thought to have instituted.
Life very pertinently observes that it
is hard to say whether his friends or
his foes are the more pleased at his
''vindicat ion,' adding that the tendency
of his republican supporters is to point
with pride to him as a man who, after
all, was right, but who won't do it
again.
Says Life:
Some Of his democratic oppO-
nents honestly rejoice in the
courts decision; some deplore it;
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-04-11

but all seem ready to insist that
the decision estab lishes the lille

railroad combinations, and that it
is the presidents duty to wade in

BIDS CALLED FOR SEWER
WORK ON CARNEGIE LIBRARY
Engineer Miller Submitted Plans to City Council
Last Night Estimated Cost Not to
Exceed Four Hundred Dollars

Engineer Miller who had been espe-
cially employed by the city council to
submit plans and specifications for q
sewer connection for the Carnegie IL
brary reported to the council last even
Ing and submitted a plan showing the
detail work of the proposed connection.
Mr.. Miller In his plans showed that q
shaft would have to be sunk to the
Main street level and a tunnel run to
connect with the sewer at that point.
He estimated that II would require
about 615 feet Of work taking In the
shaft tunnel and open cuts. The coun-
Gil concluded to advertise for bids on
the work Mr.. Miller will complete the
specifications this morning which will
be placed on file with the city clerk.
The estimated cost of construction IL
about 1857.
Mr.. f. O'Neill In behalf Of residents
on North street and Prospect boulevard
presented a petition asking that the
council have a four-inch water main
laid in their district. The matter was
referred to the water committee for in
vestigation and the mayor recommend
ed that the matter be attended to at
once. II developed that the city had
no pipe and a motion was made In
structing the water superintendent to
order a carload Of pipe. Mr.. Smith ex-
planned that the pipe would cost the
city 80 cents per foot and had to be
ordered from the National Tube Works
Of Boston. Members Of the council
discussed the price Of the pipe and
Superintendent Smith stated that the
pipe could not be purchased for less
money and intimated that there was q
disposition Of some to think that he
was receiving rake orr in ordering
the pipe. He asked the council to in
vestigate for themselves. He also pre-
ferred that some one else be desig-
mated to order the pipe. Mr. Smith
was asked to bring In a list of supplies

by advertised bids.
