The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-12-03

An effort will be made at the session
of congress which begins Monday to
amend the interstate commerce law
so as to give the commission the pow
er to regulate freight rates on inter-
state traffic. The commission exer-
cised this power originally, but in a
test case the United States supreme
court decided that it had no authority
under the law to fix rates and since
that decision it has had little author
ity to do anything more than to in
Vestigate and recommend
The combination of the great rail-
road systems of the country has re-
suited in a monopoly of transporta-
ton and the power to discriminate In
favor of one shipper against another,
or in favor of one community against
another, and to charge extortionate
rates with impunity. If the COMPETE
tive system cannot be restored, gov
eminent regulation and control. if not
ownership, of the railroads is newt
able. A step toward that end will be
giving the interstate commission the
power to fix freight rates. This pow
err is exercised by Canada's railway
commission and it is used with wis
dom and discretion
1t will be interesting to watch the
attitude of Washington's senators and
representatives on this question of
regulating freight rates.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
WEATHER..
FRAUD IS NOT CHARGED.

Tonight and Sunday fair.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-12-03

Several members of the election
boards appear in great haste to ex-
press their disapproval of the contest
started in the superior court on the
assessors office. Very likely it is true
that some of these gentlemen would
make affidavit as to the regularity of
the count, so far as they know, in the
precincts in which they officiated and
yet they may have made mistakes.
Probably the courts count in some
precincts might not differ materially
from the results returned by the board,
but if irregularities are discovered in
any Of the precincts it Is manifestly
better that the examination extend
into every precinct than that any por
ton of the county be left in doubt.
There is no charge of fraud against
the election board. The language of
the statute is used and the words
''malconduct" is made to cover an
honest mistake or an honest difference
of opinion as how ballot marked in
a particular way should be counted,
about which there is great deal of
controversy.
Many citizens of this county believe
that a recount will show sufficient err
rors to change the result in the case
now being contested. They do not
question the integrity of the election
officers but do think there were some
mistakes and errors of Judgment.
If these citizens are right justice de-
mands that those mistakes be rectified.
if they are wrong then no one has
;,,s, III
make mistakes and those mistakes be
no reflection on the honesty or in
tegrity Of any member of the board
and for this reason it would seem that
there is no call for indignation on the
part of election officers whatever may
be the results of the contest If cleo
ton officers believe that errors have
not been made they should encourage
rather than discourage an examination
of the returns.

liable timber lands in the state OF
Washington have fallen into the
hands Of the Weyerhauser syndicate,
which, there is abundant reason to
believe, has employed the same meth
part of it's holdings.
The Northern Pacific railroad seems
to be closely allied with the Weyer-
hauser syndicate, having turned over
to it many thousands of acres of lieu
lands. The lieu land law was one of
the worst swindles ever perpetrated
upon the American people by venal
congress. 1t enabled the Northern
Pacific railroad company to exchange
large tracts of worthless lands in the
Rockies and the Cascades, acquired
though the forty-mile construction
grant, for valuable timber lands In
western Washington or for fertile
agricultural lands in the eastern part
of the state In discussing the land
fraud cases in Portland the Oregonian
says:
"A number of persons, taking a few
poor little quarter sections of land up
in the mountains, for base purposes
that is, to get 'base'-seem to have
been caught in the tolls. The jury
will decide.
But what? In Linn county there
is assessment on about 100000 acres
of land-of lieu land, on a similar
basis-that a railroad company re-
fuses to pay. The object of these few
poor and trifling claimants-here on
trial-was to get lieu land But here
is a railroad company, empowered, it
is said, by law, to take. lieu land to
the extent of one hundred thousand
acres in a single county of Oregon,
upon which the company refuses to
pay taxes, on the ground of excuse
that it hasn't yet a patent. We make
socialists and anarchists this way.
No matter how plain and clear the
swindle may be in these cases it is Of
little moment in the United States
court today. The parties will not be,
cannot be, excused. But what of the
swindles infinitely greater?
This railroad, through the opera
ton Of the laws of the United States,
was allowed to relinquish lands in the
Rocky and Cascade mountains that
were worth nothing to it, and was en-
powered to take lieu lands elsewhere
The company worked the scheme
through congress. AS a consequence
it has taken as lieu lands all the
valuabel timber lands Of western Ore
gon and western Washington; and
now it refuses to pay it's tax on these
lands in Linn county. 1t does the
same everywhere else. But in Linn
county it comes first into notice. The
lieu land, on vast scale, with infinite
sWindle, claims protection of law. On
a petty scale the scheme Is criminal
Why shouldn't it be criminal ON the
larger scale, and in both scales?
These trials at Portland are alto
gether proper. But they do not go to
the heart of the business. They touch
only the limbs and outward f1ourishes.
A few paltry quarter sections are
nothing. The thousands and millions
of acres, on the scheme of base and
lieu lands, worked under forms of
law, constitute the real grievance.
These are the methods by which we
make socialists and anarchists

der Wreck of building.
NEW YORK, March THE state
ment was made at the scene of the
Darlington ruins that letter has been
found on the body of Frank Allison,
sent by the building department and
ordering that work on the building be
stopped forthwith,
Coroner Scholer would say nothing
about it when asked if such letter
had been found.
The finding Of man alive pinned
under the ruins stimulated the work
men removing the debris to more he,
roic efforts.
\ corpse supposed to be that of Al
exander l.. johnson of 66l East One
Hundred and Thirty sixth street had
Just been removed when another body
was seen. Suddenly one of the men
shouted that he saw the victim move.
An electric shock could not have
more completely thrilled the workmen,
policemen. spectators and reporters
near the scene than did this cry. The
big derrick was Immediately stopped,
and the foreman ran to the scene.
A man who said he was physician
from Connecticut, but who refused to
give his name. came forward and
reaching his arm through the twisted
girders that pinned the man down. felt
his pulse and announced that he was
alive. Work was at once concentrated
on this spot The man was rescued
alive, but died at the hospital very
soon after reaching IT,
From the fact that one man was
taken out of the wreck alive aud that
another body taken out gave every
appearance of recent death II is
thought that if there are many more
victims in the ruins some of them may,
be alive, possibly protected by cage
formed by the falling ironwork or
pinned down by the leg or in other
ways that would not of themselves
cause death.
