East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-09

Washington, Jan. s.-Attorney
General Moody made an argument for
the government Il. the supreme court
this afternoon In the beef trust
case
He said the defendants, who are
seven corporations, one company part
nership and 23 other persons, were
charged with entering into an agree
ment with each other and perform
ing certain acts which he claimed to
be unlawful.
All the acts in question related to
commerce. not to manufactures or
production, He argued that such
agreements are In violation OF the
interstate commerce act inasmuch as
the unloading of cars of cattle did
not constitute breaking an Original
package" as the animal itself was
an original package which nature
made. An agreement with reference
/ to the purchase price of cattle there
| fore was transaction relating to IN
terstate commerce, and was In re-
straint of such commerce.
The defendants combined to arbl-
trarily raise, lower and fix the prices
of fresh meat and to keep them uni
form among themselves, This con-
spiracy was rendered effective by
means Of secret meetings at which the
prices were fixed.
II appears the defendants engaged
in the common practice of obtaining
unlawful rates or rebates for trans
portatlon from common carriers,
which then subsequently share among
themselves, and their scheme contem-
plated the exclusion OF all outside
: parties from obtaining them.

mended that a competent man be APP

ed TO return an Indictment against

Manning that II would indlct Mayor
Williams and Chief Hunt, he became
bcisterous. II is alleged, and declared
tnat he would ask for the dismissal
Of the defendants and the cancellation
os the indictments.
At the conclusion Of the grand
ju,y's report the following proverbs
are quoted:
"The wicked worketh deceltfu
work, but to him that soweth right
eorsness shall be sure reward"
"The hoary head is a crown OF
glory, II It be found In the way oi
righteousness"
"a wise man hateth not the law
but he that is hypocrite therein II

f. s. LAWSON ACCOUNTED FOR.
Remarkable Experience OF Bickleton
Mail Carrier.

Considerable excitement was Great
ed in and around Bickleton in Sep
tember when it was discovered that
E. S. Lawson, the contractor of the
Kuhn Bickleton mail route, had mys-
teriously disappeared and foul play
was feared.
Mr.. Lawson had been working In
the Horse Heaven country and wrote
his parents, who reside near Bickle-
ton. that he would be home the 6th
or 7th of September, but he failed 10
show up. After waiting a few days
and not hearing anything from him.

IDAHO's TAX LAW.
Prominent Mining Man Tells Of the
Assessment Methods I'm That State.

Prominent Mining Man Tells OF the
Assessment Methods In That State.
w. Clayton Miller, general manager
of the Federal Mining & Smelling
company of the Occur d'Alenes, Idaho,
says the operators of that great dis
trict like the new tax law of the state,
which assesses on production basis,
says the Oregon Daily Journal.
Mr.. Miller made the state imme-
diately after his firm had paid s43,-
1882 taxes to the authorities OF
Shoshone county He discredited the
rumor that a movement was afoot to
have the new tax law modified, ana
said everybody was satisfied with the
system.
While he admitted that the Dig
companies paid more money than un-
der the old system, he said the TAX
was systematic and intelligent, ana
the operators did not object 10 II.
The fact that the county Is getting
much more money than under the
old system satisfied officials and the
other taxpayers, so that they would
not be likely to protest or ask
change.
Idaho's new tax law has been
watched quite closely by Oregon mine
operators. Montana has bullion tax
which is regarded as equitable In
evers respect, The fact that Idaho
has inaugurated the same, and that It
gives such satisfaction among the
men who have TO pay it, encourages
oregon mining men to believe that
the time will come when they will be
taxed on a similar equitable basis.
