Osakis Review, Aug %: The drain
age of public lands to make them agri-
cultural, the building of good roads,
the stopping of pine land stealing, the
just taxation of lumbermen, are all
feathers in Mr. Coles legislative cap,
and show that results can be secured
by electing him governor.

Pass System Vicious and Harmful.
The practice of giving free passes
to public officials and favored individ
uals not in the continuous employment
of the railroad companies is vicious
and harmful to the public welfare.
Therefore, l believe law should be
ing the giving or receiving Of such
passes, and this will open way to
the enactment Of a law fixing a maxi
mum price for the transportation Of
passengers at cents per mile.
The Private Car Nuisance.
Great abuses have grown up and
wrongs have been perpetrated under
what can perhaps properly be charac-
terized the private car nuisance" by
which unjustifable rebates have been
secured. The right of eminent domain
Is given to railroads on account OF
their being quasi-public corporations.
The use of private cars along those
highways is not contemplated and is
harmful to the public welfare and it
seems to me their further use should
De prohibited by law.
Relating to favored shippers is
one of the most harmful practices
in which the railroads have ever
engaged. That practice tends to
stife competition and breed mo-
nopoly. The legislature has al
ready aimed to reach these abuses
by law, but l am in favor of
I: Strengthening our statutes on that
subject so that this odious and
demoralizing practice will be
crushed out, or those who attempt
1t be sent to Jail.
Demurrage Charges Excessive.
During recent years great abuses
have been practiced by the railroads
under what is known as "demurrage
charges" and for many years ship
pers of our state have been compelled
to suffer long, damaging and appar-
emily needless delays in getting cars
to be loaded. These abuses can only
be corrected by the strong and Wig
orous arm of the state. In my opinion
a law should speedily be enacted cor
recting these evils
sss.s.... ..s......
In all ways that are practicable :
and beneficial to the shipper
should the statutes of our state on j:
the question of railroad super !:
vision be made to conform to the
regulation rate law recently enact :
ed by our federal government :
..............s.
In the event of my election l will
not only recommend to the legislature
Vic pCSSdSc VI SUN laws as nave
suggested, but will use all honorable
means in my power as governor to
secure their enactment.
As our platform declares:
There should be such a readjust-
ment of freight rates and charges as
will afford TO every producer, shipper
and consumer the impartial service of
these public highways"
But the one point I wish to empha-
size, the question Of the greatest con-
Germ to all the people is the railroad
rate question-the vigorous enforce
ment of the laws we have on that sub
lect and the enactment OF such fur
ther laws as are necessary, to the end
that exact justice be done to all par

Excessive Freight Rates Robbery.

Excessive Freight Rates Robbery.
Too high freight rates tend to rob
both the producer and the consumer
and to lessen, if not destroy, all pros
perity. The transportation question
In all its forms is in the hands of the
people. The only limitation in the
reduction OF freight rates is measured
by business and fairness to the COM
mon carrier That carrier Is entitled
to just and reasonable compensation
for the services rendered, and no
more. Within the limitation stated
the people have the absolute right to
reduce freight rates at will. While
there are certain additions to, and
changes in, our rate laws, which. it
seems to me, are advisable, there are
already upon our statute books laws
which, when vigorously enforced, will
afford very substantial relief, and it
is the duty of the states executive to
urge that those laws be justly and
honestly enforced. Certainly the ex-
ecutive is clothed with great power
In this direction and it is rightly ex-
pected Of him that he will fearlessly
and energetically exercise that power.
. l believe that most of the freight
rates now collected in this state
: are altogether too high and that
8 the railroads of the state are max
ing too much money and I feel
that it is my duty to state that, il
: elected, shall do all in my power
/: to cause them to be reduced to a
point where they are equitable to
: both carrier and shipper.

The Power of the Executive.
The specific duties which the law
imposes upon the states executive,
which affects the people generally,
are numerous and weighty and his
discretionary powers In that direction
are very great There was no law

Trapped Large Eagle.

Some time ago, q. w. Doak and
Archie Thompson offered Il reward OF
S2.50 cach for the capture OF large
eagle that was destroying lambs, and
committing other depredations In their
mountain pastures On yesterday the
thief was captured a very large
brown eagle, measuring feet from
tip TO tip. The capture was made by
James Johnson by means of steel
trap. The monster bird was impris-
oned by one foot and made desperate
fight when approached. Those who
have seen the eagle here say il is the
largest they ever saw In this section.
The mate TO this one has been seen
several times, and efforts are being
made To capture it.

Dogs and the Sheep.
Now, go for the dogs.

Andrew and Cecil Peery have had
an experience recently which convinces
them that all dogs are not good, harm
less dogs. One night recently they lost
about 40 fine sheep by worthless, hun
CRY dogs. But for the fact, it Is said
that some one heard the dogs in the
night and ran out after them and
drove them of, the entire flock might
have been seriously injured, and many
more Of them killed. 1t seems that
number Of dogs got together and start
ed out TO make a clean sweap of the
defenseless flock. IL is "a great pleas
ure to state that the carcasses OF a
number OF these sorry ours are rottiDg
on the hillsides and in the woods.
Every dog in the county ought to be
chained at night or shot-or both.

The Redistricting Bill.

Information is wanted in these parts
as TO the reason, or sense of the meas
which proposes TO cut off five counties
from the Ninth District these five
counties being chiefly Democratic.
This proposition, coming from a Dem
ocratic Legislature, ir, at least, a strange
one. The Ninth District is almost
hopelessly Republican now, but if this
bill passes, and Giles, Bland, >Pulasli
and Wythe are cut off, then of course
there will be no use whatever i'm MAX
ing a fight. The Sixth District, into
which these five counties would be put
by the bill, is already Democratic.
What is the object? Will some one
explain. Hon. Peyton St. Clair, from
Giles, Senator from the Dis
trict, who offered the amendment, can
can explain, perhaps, and we hope he
will.
