chine made tickets. With such a law
in force nominations by certificate
would be hazardous and might be very
expensive.
Plummer AS An Artful Dodger.
Mr.. Plummer likewise "dodged" the
vote on the resolution OF Frank w.
Mohr, anti-machine Republican OF
Berks county, to refer to the committee
for a public hearing the atrocious Sny-
der water works bill, which the gang"
was forced by pubic sentiment to aban-
don after orders for its passage had
been issued. This bill was clandestine-
ly introduced into the house and was
intended TO give the Penrose-Durham-
McNichol machine power to dispose of
the Philadelphia water works in the
same manner that they tried to steal
the gas works since. Plummer's rec
ord on the resolution will be found In
the Legislative Record, page 2359
The eliminating atrocity" OF Mr..
Plummers record during the session
Of 1903 was his vote for the Infamous
but useless Press Muzzler," the Salus-
Grady libel law. He had been admon-
ished against the outrage of the con-
stitution and attempt to stifle civil and
religious liberty. But Quay was smart
ing under the shame Of his then recent
trial for misusing the funds of the
state and his associate gangsters prob
ably felt that the storm which has
since broken over them was then i'm
pending and hoped to avert It by milz-
zling the press. The expectation was
disappointment, however, and the per-
fdious legislator rather than his in
tended victims Is suffering the conse-
quence of his folly.
Plummer's Crownhy Outrage.
1t was during the session OF 1908,
moreover, that Plummer made clear
his servlity to the machine and treach-
cry to the people by openly opposing
personal registration. Mr.. Ikeer, of
Columbia county, had introduced
resolution to discharge from the COM
mittee on elections, OF which Plummer
was chairman, the ballot bill prepared
by the Democratic state committee and
which Quay had promised to support
1t provided for personal registration In
the cities and in opposing the resolu-
ton to discharge the committee and
place 1t on the calendar Mr.. Plummer
said:
81 does not seem to me to be right
or just because there is a cry of fraud
I'm Philadelphia that every city in the
state should be put to the inconveni-
ence and expense Of personal regis
tration law to enable a few reformers
to experiment wtch the cure Of fraud in
that city" Legislative Record, pages
1922.
AS the claim Of patriotism Is "the
last refuge of scoundre so the buga-
boo of the cost is the first and last
resort Of a corruptlonist who sees re-
form approaching" Naturally Mr..
Plummer invoked this expedlent to de-
lay personal registration, but the fail
ure of 1t then has cost the people ten
fold more in graft since than personal
registration would have come to In
generation.

Corruption of Courts.

DR. Hills, the great Brook yn
preacher, relates the following ex-
perience. showing that there Is one
law for the poor and another for the
rich in this country:
"The other day | was lecturing in
Connecticut. One person was tried
for murder Money had secured
skilled lawyers, and the penalty was
three months. Then a poor man
stood up to be tried. He was charg-
ed with begging a meal. He had
not insulted the servant-he simply
had asked for bread and chance TO
dry his clothes. The judge looked
the man over; he was thin and he
was weak. his clothes were thread
bare; he had failed to hold his position
in New York. the winter was coming
on, he was going home 10 the old
village in Massachusetts. He was
undeniably begging as he Journeyed
on afoot The Judge was silent
Finally he read the law to the man,
and then sentenced him 90 twelve
months in the peuitentIary. Why
did the murderer get off with three
months and the poor man get year.
4 Because there Is a difference between
/ a prosperous man and a poor man.

Of discrimination on the part Of rail

The commission holds that the

A Growing Question

Governor Robert LaFollette Of
Wisconsin, Is one OF the aDlest men
in public life. lie Is taking mp
with vieor vital questions that con
cern the people such as a direct prl-
mary law, railroad COMMISSIONS, etc.
His last message deals trenchantly
with the railroad freight evil, which
IS a serious menace t0 the welfare Of
Colorado, and we publish its main
points.
addison, Wis, Jan. IL The
main features Of Governor La Fol
lette's message, which he read to
the legislature today, was demand
for an appointative freight rate com
mission, the last Of the big reforms
asked by the governor lie SAID,
'lndepel IDENTIFY OF the question of
excessive freight charges, the state
should no longer allow a railway
corporation TO control without super
VISION. arbitrarily, the commerce ~
Wisconsin, and through control Of
that commerce determine what vii
lagos shall become cities, what cities
become great markets and dictate as
To business supremacy in every in
dustry. Whatever temporary re
ductions may have been made for
business reasons a study oi railway
tariffs in force in Wisconsin now
disci1ses:
First Wisconsin rates are still
higher than the rates charged
under substantially similar condi-
tions on state traffic in the neighbor
ing states Of Illinois and Iowa, where
the rates are regulated by law
Second. Interstate rates in
Wisconsin are generally higher
than rates in Illinois and Iowa
Third Rates charged on traffic
in Wisconsin, on the whole, yield
gross income 10 the railroads con
siderably above the amounts required
for all operating expenses, for main
tenance Of property and for a fair
interest or profit ON the cost of the
roads
" "Fourth-The railway companies
are guilty Of gross determinations in
favor of certain shippers, and their
/ determinations as between favored
shippers are likewise rankly unjust.
resulting in the upbuilding Of mon
opoly, controlling productions and
markets alike
The fact that the railroads have
such complete control over the rates
has given them control over com
mcrce.of far reaching effect 1t is
easily in their power to destroy cities
and villages or build them up in
wealth and power. They have but
TO raise rates in the one case and
lower them in another, afford super
ior facilities in one case or made
quate service in another.
The time has come for decisive
action. The control Of prices of
coal and iron and the food products
and other basic elements Of our
commercial life by trust organiza-
tious in connection with the great
transportation systems Of the c0un-
try are absolutely destructive of in
dustrial aud commercial indepeud-
euce Industrial and commercial
servitude in the final analysis is ab-
solutely destructive Of political inde-
pendence. Ii Is time to look to the
government for relief, and for its
own sake any power short Of the gov
ernment itself is inadequate now to
meet existing conditions.

All the other coast states show gain
in mileage, while Oregon lost 40 miles
by shortening lines and abandoning
track. Oregon's percentage of mile
age of railroads to the 100 square
miles of territory in 1901 was LIS,
and the same in 1902. Idaho increas-
ed from 1.5S in 1901 to 1.72 in 1902.
Washington from 449 to 4.72; Cali
fornia from 3.74 to 3.S3. Consider
that Washington has been a state only
about Is years, while Oregon's life
approaches the half-century.
We find that IL counties of Oregon
having territory of 54,455 square
miles are without any railroad COM
munication with the outer world
These counties comprise more than
half the state, maintain county gov
ernments, have industries. banks and
prosperous. thriving cities and towns
Many of the other counties have rail-
roads only along their borders. More
than three-fourths Of the state area
is without railroads.
While the people of the whole state
are putting forth a mighty effort to
develop and populate this great in
terror, some of the railroad managers
insist that no railroad into the interior
can be made to pay, and the non-resi-
dent ownership DEGREES a policy OF
non-construction under any circum-
stances.
