Shows Political Lines.

Mr.. Cullom then came forward with
carefully prepared statement in which
he argued that the Allison amend
ment did not provide for broad review.
Both Cullom and Fulton thought that
even If the bill did as charged, pro-
:, vide for broad review, the courts would
be very reluctant to retry cases coming
up from the commission unless the de-
cisions in those cases were manifestly
unjust. = = 1T: :. r. u
Mr.. Bacon Of Georgia followed with
an argument to the effect that the ALI
son amendment did provide for broad
review, and he agreed with the other
democrats that the president had sur
rendered. And SO the argument went
during almost the entire day: .:
The question seemed yesterday to
assume q political complexion, for it
will be noticed that the democrats who
spoke, excepting Mr.. Morgan Of Ala
bama, accused the president Of having
surrendered, and said that the Allison
amendment provided for broad review.
Some Of these democrats, like Messrs.
Bailey and Rayner, openly congratu-
| lated Mr.. ~Aldrich and the railroads on
| having won a great victory. The re-
publicans, on the other hand, to a man
maintained; that fhere had been no
surrender and that the,sAllison amend
| menu ola not e&ceeQNthe' implied pro-
visions Of the house bill. -.
7. The attitude of the democrats Is be-
lieved, TO- be inspired, by their disap.
pointment in not being permitted to
help shape the legislation and thus
claim share of credit for 1t. Fol-
many weeks it looked as if the bill
could not be passed excepting by the
aid of democratic votes.
The agreement Of the president ant
the republican side Of the senate or
the Allison amendment, however, rem
dered democratic aid unnecessary, ani
thus has robbed that party Of an i'm
portant political advantage.
The supreme court is likely to de
eide this whole question Of court re
view Independently of what may b.
put into the rate bill or withheld from
it., which being true, this entire dis
cussion to many men seems futile.

Allison Cites History.
Mr.. Allison contributed an interest
ing bit of legislative history to the de-
bate when he said that it was not the
intention of congress in 1887, when it
passed the original interstate commerce
act. to confer upon the commission the
ratemaking power, and that the assump-
ton by the commission Of that power
and its exercise of it until restrained
by the supreme court ten years later
was never contemplated by congress.
Mr.. Allison spoke as one having au-
thority, for he was a member Of the
senate at that time, and took an active
part in the debate. :... ..I
He said congress was now for the first
time face to face with the question of
giving a commission the power to fix
rates. X
Mr.. Fulton Of Oregon admitted that
he was the author Of some Of the es-
sential parts of the Allison amend
ment, particularly that part which the
democrats were claiming provided for
broad review. He said It did not so
provide. The original house bill pro
vided that suits under the act could be
brought in the circuit courts, and he
held it was foolish to say that such a
statement did not carry with it juris,
diction in these courts to try such cases
coming before them. His phraseology
conferred this jurisdiction. simply stat.
ing in terms what was, already in the
house bill by implication. He was op.
posed to broad review and would not
support any amendment which provided

FROM THE PEOPLE.

The interest of the people of Elk City
and vicinity is conferred upon the well
fare of the district. 1t is up to the
people: are we going to overlook our
roads, the only outlet to and from this
point to the nearest railroad. 1t is time
that the people were doing something,
time that they were awakening to the
question of whether we are going to
abandon our road or see that it is kept
up. We shall have to pull together
We shall have to put our heads together
and we shall have to work for our own
interests.
The people of Sites, Harpster and
Grangeville should have some interest
in the development of the resources of
this country, because they all expect to
have some BUSINESS relation one way or
another with properties in this section.
Why, then, should they not be willing
to aid in keeping up one end of the
road? Why, then, should it not be
right, to ask their assistance? 1t has
arrived at that point where the freight
ers are deserving the road. Why? The
condition of the road, making it impos-
sible to haul enough freight to pay ex-
penses for one trip to Elk City and
back. Another reason, capital stands
aghast at freight rates for forty-nine
miles of haul The freighter must
live. The people who feed them at the
way stations must live. What must we
do to have them continue at their occu-
patton? We must have good roads.
We must take time by the fore lock-
put forth all our energies, put forth all
our efforts to get the people to act in
this matter. We should have all the
assistance we can get to maintain our
road. We have it, but it remains with
the people of Elk City to put forth the
efforts lest we should be shut off from
the outside world in the spring.

AS the trial of Sidney Sloane progress
ses in the superior court in Spokane, the
court attache are more convinced that
they have to deal with a very rare
specimen of criminal. Sloane is mere
youth. Last summer he murdered his
father with an axe and hauled the body
in wheelbarrow and dumped it into an
alley. The boy confessed he did the
killing, but in spite of the confession
strenuous efforts are being made to
save him. Why he should be spared,
God alone knows. The Instruments
with which the horrible deed was done,
sti1l smeared with the blood of his
father, are handled in esourt every day
III the presence of the boy, but he shows
q,
no concern. Remarks on capital pun
ishment has no terror for him. The
state of Washington may hang Sidney
Sloane but the murder of the father
will not be avenged. Sidney Sloane has
no life to give, for he is already dead
to all that makes the man different from
the brute, and apparently he has always
been SO. To kill him, alas! will not
bring his victim back to life and will
d.
not MIKE the memory of him more de-
testable.

carried by paltry 200 or even 1000,
did it get majority vote of all the
electors who voted at the recent cleo
ton? The Statesman, which assumes
to tell its readers the amendment car
ried, is curiously silent about the total
vote cast, and yet there is no question
that the people of the state would like
to know the totals as actually found by
the state returning board. There are
close to 10000 electors in Idaho, as
shown by the vote just cast. Did the
amendment get majority Of all these?
This is a very important matter.
This proposed amendment was, in the
minds of many, the most vicious of the
six submitted by the last legislature.
1t is intended to grant the power to the
legislature to increase the rate of taxa
ton from five to ten mills. Those who
are familiar with past legislatures will
readily understand that, if this amend
ment is found to have been adopted, the
people of Idaho will have this additional
burden fastened upon them before next
summer. If there is one thing that
legislatures, city councils land school
boards dote ON, it is in raisipg the rate
of taxation to the limit. we may ex-
pect the enactment of every species of
extravaganza by the coming legislature
in the way of appropriations for new
ventures, and the increase of the pos
sible tax rate will furnish them oppor-
tunity. 1t is, indeed, an evil day for
the people of the state if they have so
far forgot themselves as to let down the
bars.

hat change in the postal service, such

that change in the postal service, such
as is PROPOSED, is needed. Great
changes are about to be made in pres
ent means of transportation and COM
munication. The rebate system is to
be abolished; the mileage rate on freight
is to be established; several of the rail-
roads are establishing express accom-
modations of their own, thereby shut
ting out the old express companies; the
rappings of a parcels post bill at the
door of congress lis becoming so insist
ent that it cannot be put off much
longer.
Should it develop that Mr. Boyce's
associates are men heavily interested in
railway and express companies then the
public will oppose the proposed change,
for it will be clear that it is move on
the part of those men to form still
stronger monopoly on the means of COM
munication and transportation. Many,
too, will require proof that the SIP, 500,
900 the government will have to pay to
carry on it's correspondence would be an
advantage compared with the deficit
that is annually incurred now.

THE PROPOSED POSTAL CHANGE.

THE PROPOSED POSTAL CHANGE.
The Mining News is in receipt of a
marked copy of the Washington, D. c.,
Daily Times, containing the proposition
made Uncle Sam By w P. Boyce and
his Chicago associates to have TIE mails
handled by private concern, to be
supervised by government postal COM
mission. The proposition reads like the
change would be filling a long-felt want,
at least in the minds of the men who
are making the proposal. Some of the
main features of the proposition, and
Some of the benefits to be derived are
stated as follows:
To turn over the postoffice business to
a $50, 600, 900 private corporation under
full government regulation.
To reduce by one-half all postal rates,
establish rural Cpostal' express and apply
business methods throughout.
To pay the, government rental fdT
postoffice quarters, and charge it regu.
lar rates for its postal business, now.
estimated to amount to $4,000, 900 an
nually. '''
To place in charge a well-known rail-
road traffic expert to whom the place
has been offered at $50, 600 annually.
To eliminate, all sinecures, politics,
and the deficit.
To pay the government all profits
above Z per cent on capital invested.
Mr.. Boyce's proposition is, perhaps,
the most sensational proposition in gov
ernmental affairs in recent years. Of
course the change in postal affairs
asked by the Chicago man and his as
sociates (whoever they may be) will
not take place at once, if it ever is
realized. If the question should claim
the consideration of congress it will be
debated long time before final decision
is made. The sounding of the public on
the matter has just begun. At first
flush the public conscience rebels
against such radical change in a public
utility which time and custom have
caused to be looked upon as performing
its function properly only when it is in
the hands of the general government.
And the first feeling will not disappear
when sober thought il given the mat
ter. The intelligent person will think
the men behind must be in narrow
straits or else they lack t4ct to spring
such question at this time, when so
much rebate abuse and graft is being
proven against the big railroad compan-
les Of the country. The public will de-
msnd to know who Mr.. Boyce's associ-
ates are. The Identification will aid
very materially in the ppblic's copclu-
sion, for the average man has not felt
