which attaches to individuals COM
posing a partnership.
If number of men enter into a
partnership each one is responsible for
the obligations of all. Number one
may own five per cent and number
two SO per cent of the business. Yet
their liability to the public is equal.
But stockholders in corporations are
liable only for the amount of stock
owned. Men entering into an ordinary
partnership may lose not only their
pro rata of the firms losses, but the
smallest owner may become the heav-
lest loser. Therefore, no sensible man
will enter into partnership with
hundreds of other men. But he will
buy stock in a corporation, because he
can lose no more than the par value of
his stock. 1t is thus that the founda-
ton for the great manufacturing, min
ing, commercial and transportation
companies was laid. These have both
blessed and cursed the race. They
have multiplied production and eX-
tended commerce far beyond the
dreams of our fathers. They have lit
orally bound together the scattered
sections of our country with bands of
steel, cementing them firmly with
love and mutual interest. We now all
read the same literature, think COM
mon thoughts and eat similar food.
/ But while this is true, it is equally
| true, that our laws have permitted ras-
calls to conspire together for the pur-
/ pose Of wrecking legitimate corpora
| tons and enriching themselves by the
purchase of the very stock they have
| ruined. Other rascals having wealth
and influence have been permitted tc
grow rich by over capitalization. The
| incorporation laws of the states allow
them to issue stock without limit be-
yond the assets of their companies
Then this stock is sold without any

A Railroad Commission.

A railroad commission has been so
much agitated in your state that one
will certainly be established. If its
real friends carry the state next Tues
day, they will create commission and
clothe it with full power to regulate
traffic rates and taxation. Governor
Turner will appoint men on that COM
mission who will use their authority
for the benefit of the whole state. But
if the railroad candidates shall win
they will create altogether a different
kind of a commission and in all prob
ability appoint railroad lobbyists as
members of that body.
If they can have a commission of
thier own creation, controlled by men
of their own selection they will steal
you all blind and then confirm their
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-11-05

legal restraint whatever by means of
gross manipulation and fraud. These
wreckers and unconvicted criminals
result from state negligence.
The states create corporations,
breathe life into them, and turn them
loose without inspection or supervis-
ion to bless or curse humanity ac-
cording to their inclinations.
The state should compel them to
make complete representation of re-
sources at the time of organization
and require them thereafter at stated
intervals to make certified reports of
their operations.
Another and far greater evil grow
ing out of corporation influence con-
sists in the purchase upon their part
of privilege. They have come to con-
slider legislation commercial COM
modify. They seize upon your con-
venticns and legislatures. They per-
suade some men, others they bride.
They rule some through fear. But
when they can neither persuade, bribe
or brighten your delegates and Off
'cials they destroy them Every state
has it's political graveyard filled with
their heroic victims.
How Railroads Escape Taxation.
Persons not familiar with our sew
eral systems of taxation do not fully
comprehend the extent to which rail-
roads escape taxation. They begin by
beating county assessments down3to a
mere fraction of their value. In the
second place great deal of their bus
mess originated in your cities. Prob
sand of your population live in Ia
coma, Spokane and Seattle. Another
hundred thousand reside in your
smaller cities and towns. These peo-
pie constitute large part of your
population and provide much traffic
for your railroads. These people pay
millions for transportation each year
and l venture that all your railroads
combined do not pay into the several
city treasures of your state $4,000
per annum. When a merchant goes to
city for the uprpose of engaging in
trade he carries his goods with him
where they become subject to city tax
alton, but a railroad leaves it's tracks
mainly in the country, thus escaping
city taxation Notwithstanding the
fact that it, like the merchant, enjoys
profits from the business which origi-
mates in that city just as the merchant
does. The state of Wisconsin requires
railroads to pay city taxes by provid-
ing that all of the tax necessary for
the maintenance of the school districts,
cities and counties shall be added to-
gether, and this sum added to the
state tax making a grand total which
shall be divided by the assessed valu-
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-11-05

alton Of the entire state, which gives
the average rate of taxation. The
railroad tax is then computed upon
this rate Again, our federal taxes are
enormous. Out of every dollar OF the
combined tax of the nation 40 cents
goes to Uncle Sam. Uncle Samuel is
a very sly tax collector. He adds his
tax to what we eat, drink, wear and
otherwise consume. This he charges
UP to the importer or manufacturer,
who in turn adds it on to the price of
his goods Thus Uncle Samuel alb
stracts money from the widow and
orphan SO slyly that they do not even
know it. He takes away from the
whole country something like $780,
900, 900 annually. OF this vast sum
the railroads contribute almost moth
ing. Whereas an individual is re-
quired to pay federal tax of 500, a
railroad corporation pays only two or
three dollars. This is true because
railroads consume iron, steel, COAL
timber, oil and other domestic pro-
ducts which escape all import and
excise tax. Under these circumstances
which permit railroads to escape city
and federal taxation, why allow them
to escape so much as penny in the
matter of the county and state tax?
The railroads of your state have be-
come financial and political giants. If
you would control them you must
create railroad commission and
clothe it with requisite power. The
people of your state alone are SOW
ereign, the right to rule belongs to
them, their will is supreme, subject
only to the limitations Of the state
and national constitution. The SOON
er you bring the corporations of your
state to understand this the better it
shall be both for your pocket books
and your morals.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Summary OF the Texas Climate sRd Crop
Service.

The following is the weekly sum-
mary of the Texas climate and crop
service of the reports from cores
pondents in all portions of the state.
Weather conditions The cool
weather at the opening of the week
was followed by reasonable tempera-
ture until the 8th, when cool wealth
er again set in and continued
through the 9Th and 10th. The week
closed with seasOnable temperature
again prevailing.
On the morning of the Sth and 9th
the temperature was down 10 freez-
ing over the Panhandle. Light frosts
occurred IN favorable localities as
far south as Caldwell county on the
morning of the 10th. Light showers
occurred over the northwest portion
on the 9th and 9TH. West of Trinity
river the rainfall was generally a
favorable condition, but east of that
river i was too heavy and was ac-
companied by hail in the more north
erly counties. The cool weather was
an unfavorable condition in all To-
calities, but was the least felt in the
southwestern portion.
Cotton-Cotton planting progress
ed nicely in the western, southwest
ern and central portions and in the
last two sections about three-fourths
of the crop is now in the ground.
In the eastern and northwestern
portions planting was delayed on ac-
count of the heavy rainfall and the
wet condition of the ground. Some
replanting has been found necessary
from various causes, but on the
whole the stands of cotton are good,
The cool weather was a very unfav-
orable condition, retardiug growth
and causing the plants to take on an
unhealthy color. Warm weather is
now much needed by the crop. Boil
weevils are reported present on vol
unteer cotton in several counties in
the southwestern portion.
Corn-The cool weather retarded
the growth of corn, but the crop is in
good condition and will make rapid
advancement with warmer weather.
The fields have generally received
their first cultivation.
