over TO the government as evidence to

to levy blackmail, refused TO consider
the proposition The affair came out
when il became known that two meu

JOE FOLKS HEAVY BOOT.

The swarm of vampires known as
corporation lobbyists has been rout-
ed from the corridors of the Missouri
state house by the heavy boot of Gov
ernor Joe Folk.
Lobbying has come to be one of
the highest paid departments in all
the large corporations. Corruption
and bribery ana undue solicitation
of members of legislatures has come
to be studied system in the legal
department of all the powerful in
dustries needing special privileges.
Ii allowed to practise their art in
the corridors of state house, the
matter of winning certain needed leg
islatton in many states is only mat
ter of sending enough lobbyists arm
ed with sufficient revenues. as has
been told of the Massachusetts legis-
lature by Thomas w. Lawson.
The only security against their
wiles is to apply the heavy boot
Following the example of Governor
Folk. the legislatures of Nebraska,
Kansas. Illinois and Wisconsin, have
taken steps to protect the members
from the unblushing scoundrels who
follow this nefarious trade.
1t is the first sign of reviving ma
tional morals.
Any one who mas attended a ses-
sion of the oregon Legislature and
has taken occasion to inquire into the
occupation of dozens of smooth gem
tlemen who haunt the corridors of
the state house, has been dlsgusted at
finding that these gentlemen were
mostly paid lobbyists. supplied. IL

panderers is an insult to the intelli

most freQuented desert trails in the
southern part of the state.
Declaring that the sum of $1,000
would be ample to cover the expense
of this humane innovation. the state
mineralogist sees in the projected
measure direct benefit for large
part OF the mining industry now re-
manning partially undeveloped under
the haunting shadow of death that
lnrks ever over the waste places.
Mr.. Aubury's scheme is commen-
dable one. Too often narrowing
tales come out of the wilderness of al
kali and sand of men found dead from
thirst and of prospectors unfamiliar
with the country wandering from the
thin trails and becoming demented
under the awful influence of the evil
genius that haunts the region. The
dazzle of gold in the very midst of
piled up bones has lured many luck
less miner to his certain destruction.
Yet the gold is there, and gems and
valuable chemical deposits; some of
the states richest mineral deposits
lie within this region of thirst and
insanity. The full development OF
these resources cannot come until the
ring of terrors hedging them about is
broken.
Should the Legislature grant Au-
bury's plea for a modest appropria-
ton it is certain that Kern, San Die
go. san Bernardino and Inyo counties
the ones to be benefited indirectly by
the innovation, will find it TO their
profit to cooperate with the mining
bureau in the prosecution of the work.

a work of development.
