FOOTBALL TEAM WAS HERE.
Sixteen Athletes Spent the Night in
Norfolk, Enroute to Stanton.

Sixteen husky football players, com
prising the college team from fank'

O'Clock last night and remained here
until this morning, when they left for
Stanton to play during the afternoon
against Doane college from Crete. The
young athletes had hard time know

crowded and sixteen is bunch to

That Is the wording of sign which
hangs in the door of the vacant room
in the Pacific block, where formerly
was the Norfolk postofllce. And that
sign tells every unknowing passerby
Just where the postoilicc Is located to-
day
After all of the mails of last night
had been distributed in the boxes, just
as usual, the clerks and employees Of
the postoflice took off their coats and
began to evacuate. In perfect order
the main army retreated through the
front door, marched down Norfolk av-

Fourth street and captured the mag
nificent new federal building on Mad

II was great catch. Costing one
hundred thousand dollars, with every
detail perfect and admirable, 1t is one
of the finest structures today in all
Nebraska and probably the very finest
federal building in city of Norfolk's s
size, the country over.
There will be confusion in the new
building for some days to come. With
the Encouragement of boxes, and un'
til the employees get their bearings
everything will seem strange. The
mails, for instance, which remained
over in the boxes at the old postOtiicG
last night, were wrapped up and car
ried into the new Offices general de
livery. No one owned box when the
doors opened today. And everyone
had to pay box rent in advance anC
make deposit for three keys, a
twenty cents each, before the boz
could be turned over.
The box numbers are not the same
in this as in the old office. There are
no combination boxes in this all, al
being of the lock and key variety
And one of the United States laws re
quires that no more than three key
shall exist for each box. 1t is a vic
lation of the law to have duplicate
made.
Already the new workroom for tn
postal people is crowded. The furnj
ture required for the dispatchng AM
receiving of Norfolk's mail has abou
all of the space that can be pinche

FINANCIAL ROBBERS.

In view of the hatred of the shorn
class they disgrace, together with the
animosity evidently rising among the
gotten wealth, it may be questioned
whether the stability of the common
wealth is any less seriously threatened
by financial debauchery than it would
be by sexual, says the Outlook. Twen-
ty years ago a high-class metropOli-
tan journal declared that the financial
practices of certain capitalists were
more effectively intoxicating popular
disregard of property rights than the
harangues of blatant demagogues. 1t
is hardly to be doubted that How
did you get it," is a question likely
to be pointedly put some day to the
enormously rich. Some fifteen years
ago work on sociology by a dis
tinguished college president affirmed
that our social equilibrium is eniang-
cred when a single family can amass,
in the course of one generation, a hun
dred million dollars. That seemed
the danger point then, but we have
now gone past it.
We seem to be nearing the crisis of
a disease that threatens the vitals of
the state. People naturally think of
better. laws as the proper remedy. But
Judge Parker tells us that what is
more needed is better enforcement of
the laws We have. And this waits for
the imperative mandate of the public
opinion. without which law is dead.
For lack of this. wealthy swindlers
still go at large, who are liable to the
punishment which, in a British court.

WOULD RAISE FARMERS TAXES.

According to the views of one of
the deputy county assessors as ex-
pressed at the republican meeting at
Clyde Tuesday afternoon, it is the
farmers, not the railroads. that are
lodging their taxes by evasion, con-
cealment and false statements to the
assessor. AS the republican state plat
form has a plank promising to create
a tax commission, it is presumed that
the railroad managers and attorneys
who controlled the convention inserted
that plank as an assurance that the
farmers will be made to pay their fair
share of taxes while those assessed
against the railroads will be CORE
Intelligencer which is the main spieler
for the republican state committee,
has recently published several editor
ials scoring the farmers of eastern
Washington in general and of Whit
man county in particular for evading
the payment of their just share of
taxes.
If the farmers vote for the tax COM
mission for which the Farrell Grosscup
railroad convention declared, they VIII
be rewarded by having their taxes
doubled while those of the railroads
will be scaled down. A vote for the
republican legislative nominees is
vote to place the taxing power of the
state in the hands of commission
controlled by the railroads. If the
farmers vote the railroad ticket they
will have only themselves to blame if
their taxes are equalzed by making
them higher While the railroad taxes
are made lower.

that it is a cinch that if Turner is
elected governor no commission bill
will be passed by a republican legisla-
ture. The bill would be defeated, it
criticising republican leaders and poll
cies In other words the great ma
jority of the people of the state who
favor commission are to be forced
to continue to pay excessive freight
rates, and burdensome taxes and to
submit to unjust determinations by
the railroads because the republicans
wish to vent their petty spite against
George Turner.
OF course the republican Legislative
nominees of this county, if elected, will
be expected to fall in line with the
majority in the effort to harass the
democratic governor, and to defeat all
salutary legislation advocated by him
for fear of adding to his political
prestige. Such a dog the manger
policy may aptly be termed peanut
politics and it will not be approved by
the fair minded voters of the state.
However, the people are forewarned
that no railway commission bill will be
passed by a republican legislature.
Two years ago the republican state
f<,Y
railway commission, yet a legislature
overwhelmingly republican in both
did the will of the railroad lobby. This
year a republican state convention alb
soutely dominated by the railroads
scornfully rejected Governor Mcbride
and his railway commission plank,
thus instructing republican members
of the next Legislature to oppose rail-
way commission bill. That instruc-
ton will be cheerfully followed if
republican legislature should be elect
ed. regardless of who may be governor.
There is only one way to make sure
of the creation of an appointive, reg
ulative railway and tax commission.
That is by the election of a demo-
cratic Legislature. Walla Walla county
should do her part in this good work
by electing William P. Reser and J. c..
Adams to the state senate and H. H.
Hungate, w. A. Ritz and c. NJ. Tay-
Tor to the house of representatives.

GOLD MINING IN BUFFALO

The general method of graft in
Buffalo is familiar. For Instance, a
sewer contract made the lowest bid
on a piece of work, and when he de-
clined to see the boys with a substan-
tial bonus. his bid was rejected and
the contract was given to another con-
tractor at a price so per cent higher
than the first bid But there was one
graft method used that is rather
unique The chief of police had gold
mine. Literally gold mine. It's exist
ence was discovered in this way: Sa-
loOnkeepers who were financially in
terested in not too strict an enforce
ment of the laws were found to have
bought at a high price large blocks of
stock in a gold mine with a reputed
existence in the wilds of Canada. The
chief of police was found to be the
president of this mining company. By
strange coincidence the saloon
keepers who own this stock have not
seemed aware of the existence of laws
regulating the running of saloons.
Possibly this Buffalo mine is the place
where the gold bricks come from.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-10-19

Publicity of tax assessments would
probably subserve good purpose if it
were required by law. The Union has
begun a little work in that line that
offers fertile field for exploitation to
any one who cares to investigate the
amount of personal taxes paid by some
of the WealthieSt money loaners in this
county. Such an investigation would
no doubt make some startling reVela-
tons regarding the truth and veracity
of men high in republican councils
when they are certifying their earthly
belongings to the assessor. However.
as long as the great corporations of
the state are allowed to eVade about
five SiXthS of their just taxes it is
not surprising that individual prop
erty owners endeavor to play even by
Withholding a full statement of their
property from the assessor.
