: Philadelphia, May 22:-Ugly stories
of ~''graft' in the purchase Of locomo-
tives, steel rails, cars and equipment for
the Pennsylvania railroad are in circu-
lation and a legislative inquiry is now
declared to be certain.
Another sensation to be sprung by the
interstate commerce commission on We'd
nesday is evidence that many OF the
Pennsylvania officials "got theirs'
from the coal and oil companies in
tributed regularly, all Of it going thru
one mans hands. The agent in this
proceeding is said to have been a for
mer superintendent of transportation:
The money was given to him by the coal
or oil companies and he placed it in
blank envelopes, these being given to
various officers Of the operating depart
ment.
The rumors of graft in the purchase
of supplies declare that officials Of the
railroad have received big sums for
placing large orders with favored steel
companies.
Says Carnegie Is Guilty.

the investigation the railroad itself will

mittee the Booster Club appointed to
draft resolutions in aid of Spokane
fight for equitable and just terminal
freight rates? 1t is now two weeks
since it was appointed and, so far as
we can ascertain, no report has yet
been returned. Our merchants, whose
interests in this fight are identical
with those of Spokane, should urge
immediate action; every consumer, not
only in Ritzville but in the country
adjacent thereto, is equally interested
with the local merchant. Then why
do we sleep when an opportunity is
offered us to add our mite towards
helping Spokane secure what, in all
justice, is hers, and indirectly, ours.
Every town of any Importance in the
Inland Empire has taken favorable
action on this subject with the single
exception of Ritzville. Now let us get
together on this important matter, and
if the committee already appointed is
not forthcoming with report then
let them be discharged and another
committee appointed that will bring in

demand of land owners, or tenants,

upon their neglect or failure to do SO
the road supervisor of the district
should be authorized by law to put

supervisors keep down such pests in

districts, and the mustard and Other
pests will speedily disappear and cease

Edward M. Sheppard, the democratic

that the democratic party should accept
the issue of Capitalization of power in

rotary Root in his recent speech. He
says: 81 think the existence of the
democratic party is more necessary
day after day." Mr.. Sheppard said,
land especial do l think so after con-
sidering this speech of man who may
truthfully be called trained states
man, although his idea of what our
government should be is abhorrent to
me.
"He proposes as policy what we
may call the destruction of the state
and the complete and final subordina-
ton of the state power to the federal
power in Washington. The fight of
the democratic party against this
idea goes back to the days preced-
ing the adoption of the constitution
and to that we owe the fact that a
federal and not consolidated republic
was established.

The unique and distinguished honor

The unique and distinguished honor
just conferred upon President Roose-
welt by the parliament of Norway in
the awarding to him of the Noble
Peace Prize in consideration of his
services in bringing to close the Bit
ter and devastating wa between
Russia and Japan, rather bellies the
titles of "war lord" and the man with
the "big stick" which the opposition
have given him. The prize amounts
to nearly $4,000 and the president an
nounced, in his note of thanks to the
Norwegian parliament in acknowledging
the gift, that he would use the money
to establish at Washington permanent
industrial peace commission, whose
province would be to maintain righteous
peace in the industrial world, which is
as important as peace in the world of
nations. The plan, the purpose, and
the sentiment are all worthy of the
man and the president.

Figuring that the people of the state
possess $3.50, 900, 900 in cash, Hon. j.
H. yesterday, of the State Tax Com
mission, places the cash per capita for
each man, woman and child in the state
at 1852. so, which, if correct, is the
highest cash per capita, so far as we
are informed, in the United States or
the World. He estimates the population
of the state at 100000. He accounts
for this high average in this state by
saying that, in addition to the gold
poured into the state by the Alaska
mines, the great amount of railroad
construction now going on in Washing
ton is being paid for, as matter of
course, with money from outside the
state. The average cash per capita
throughout the United States is about
1914 per inhabitant.

DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

The Walla Walla newspapers are
waging a rather vigorous argument as
to whether Senator Ankeny is, or is
not, opposed to the passage of direct
primary law. The Republicans of the
state of Washington, in state conven-
ton assembled, declared unanimously
in favor of the passage by the next
legislature of such law; the friends
of Senator An&eny from all over the
state, were members of that conven-
ton and are, therefore, committed to
such measure, and in view of all
these facts, it must not be supposed
that the senior \ nator is opposing in
any way the pro- able passage of such
a bill by the leg1 lature. The attitude
assumed in thi matter by Senator
Ankeny is digf one and is much
more becoming the exalted position
he occupies thai if he were to con-
stantly dabble I'm the politics of the
state. If primary election law were
to be passed we can see no good reason
why it would work any hardship on
Senator Ankeny. Without question he
is his own logical successor; it is under
stood that Senator Piles and his friends
are favorable to him; he has been in
the senate long enough to be of some
use to the state; he is wealthy and is
thus out of the reach of corporation
emmissaries, and is, withal, as good a
man as the state can send to the senate
from Eastern Washington. In our
opinion the senator will succeed him.

Since President Roosevelt has recon-
mended the passage by Congress of a
federal inheritance tax law as well as
an income tax law, it has been charged
that Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rookie
Teller, and others, are hoping that they
may shuttle off in time to evade the
clutching hand of the inheritance tax
gatherer. In view of the favorable
reception by Congress of these recon-,
mendations it is more than likely that

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1906.
RAILROAD COMMISSION ACT.

At the constitutional convention held
at Guthrie, Oklahoma, last week Hon.
o. B. Colquitt, a member Of the Texas
railroad commission, declared that
while the Texas railroad commission
act is good law, rate regulation in
Texas has been a failure, except in
producing uniformity, and he quoted
Mr.. Mayfield, of the same commission,
as acknowledging that it had been
"almost failure. Commenting on
the efforts of President Roosevelt, Mr..
Colquitt said that if strong men are
kept on the interstate commerce COM
mission and the courts did not nullify
their work, the Hepburn rate bill
might satisfy the people; otherwise,
he believed, Roosevelt would become
the "forerunner of Bryan"
at is my deliberate Judgment" he
said, after exhaustively reviewing rail
road rate regulation in Texas, "that
the principal, if not the only substan-
tial good the commission law of Texas,
as administered, has done the people
is the giving to them-to each person
and place uniform rates."
Much of the trouble, he declared
was in the corporation laws of the
state. He suggested that Oklahoms
could guard against this by distin
gushing in it's constitution between
the "citizen" and the artificial per
son." Also that the Oklahoma com
mission should be clothed with judicia
power and that the commission SHOULD
provide for the purchase of the rail
roads by the state at their marke
value in the event the railroads shoul'
attempt to enjoin the rates by resortinl
to the federal courts.
In speaking of the Hepburn rat
law, Mr.. Colquitt said that Roosevelt
with a master mind and hand, fore
saw that something must be done,
and that eff strong, courageous me
were kept on the commission, an
their actions are not negatived by az
plications to the court for restrainin
orders, the country may be contented
But if reverses take place, then it wi
not surprise me if Roosevelt does nc
become the forerunner of Bryan and
preparer of the way for different Sc
luton of the transportation question.
Mr.. Colquitt was an advocate of raj
road regulation in Texas, when tha
cause was championed by the lat
Governor Hogg. He is the first prom
inent man in public life in Texas
declare that it has been failure
results.

Senator H. M, Boone. of Within;

Senator H. M. Boone, of Whitman
county, is, on record as favoring the
amendment, of the present railway
commission law, and generally enlarg-
ing the powtrs of the commission;
changing the road law, so as to have
township organization; favors the
direct primary law, and two-cent fare
on all railroads throughout the state.
All of these are very important meas
ures-some of them the most important,
perhaps, of any that will come before
the states legislators at the coming
session, and should have the support OF
all east-siders.
