SAYS ROOSEVELT
IS A SOCIALIST

PRESIDENT GIVES ALARM.
Says Roosevelt is Favoring, Aiding and
Abctting Policy Which Leads TO
the Government Ownership of Rail-
roads, Which is a Direct Play Into
the Hands of the Out-and-Ou So
ciallsts-Is extremely Laudatory of
the Corporations as Ciyilizers.

President Lucas Tuttle, president
of the Boston & Maine railroad, which
corporation, 1t has been frequently al
legged in congress and elsewhere, DOM
mates the government of the northern
New England states created a decided
sensation at Troy, n. Y, few days
since when he charged by implication
that President Roosevelt, by favoring
the Legislation Of the past congress
bowed to the DEGREES of socialism, :"
and in an elaborate manner defended
corporations and combinations Of cap

"When the national government as
sumes the risk of fixing freight rates"
said President Tuttle, ut seems to me
1t places itself in such a position that
1t must soon take steps which will lead
to the government ownership and OPP
Grafton of all railroads of the country.
This is bowling to the will of the peo-
pie of the country who favor the
doctrine of socialism with a VEN
geance and is very apt to open the way
to national complications which will
have a very wide reaching effect on
our country's prosperity.
How the new law is going to affect
the country's prosperity is hard to say.

but as the bill only became operative

ard a guess on the ultimate results.
lie Lauds Corporations.
I'VE have had a great deal of ma
ligning of corporations recently by ir-
responsible persons, who fail to grasp
the reasons which have actuated the
men who have financed many combi-
nations that have done great good.
To my mind the correct definition Of
corporation is an association of in
dividuals who contribute from their
private means to a common fund so
that fixed and authentic capital and
further a borrowing Of credit may be
established sufficient to carry on in
larger way than an individual or a
| limited or general partnership could
carry on, the purpose for which busi-
ness men become associated.
The railroad corporations of today
are the result of evolution and not OF
discovery. Starting in as we did many
years ago. with small and Insignificant

systems have developed SO that they

LARGE SUGAR BEET CROP.
Over $4,000 Tons Raised In Grand
Rondc Valley This Year.

La Grande, ore, Nov. 14.--Fifteen
thousand five hundr ID tons of sugar
bcetr repre- sent an enormous quantity
Of teets, but that is tho amount that
has been pulled throughout the Grand
Ronde valley this fall, according 70
Mr.. Bramwel of the sugar factory.
OF this amount, all but a Thousand
tons have been out.
There are still many tons of sugar
beets in the ground growing prolific
ly. due to the warm rains that have
soaked the valley in the past few days.
The beet pulling industry is at a stand
still because of these showers, but II
is hoped that ere this week is over the
rains will have subsided enough to al
low resumption of the beet harvest,
The only real difficulty the early rains
are resurrecting, is that the roads will
become so heavy and muddy that
hauling will be greatly handicapped.
No estimate has yet been made of
what the total crop will be, but II is
likely that 10000 tons will include the
crop of the Grand Ronde.

in reality often fatal, as it so weak

d TO HELP THE PORTAGE.
Walla Walla Commercial Association
Sent Committee to Portland.

Walla Walla Commercial association
sent a special committee to Portland
to investigate the trouble between
the portage road commission and the
open River association. The Walla
Wal!a Statesman speaking of the mis-
sion of the committee and the out
come of the trouble with the portage
road says:
"Dr. n. &. Blalock, who, with r. ].
composed the delegation appointed
by the Walla Walla Commercial club
railway commission and Open River
association at Portland Saturday af-
ternoon, returned to Walla Walla yes
terday fully impressed that 1t is, in a
large measure, up to the commercial
interests of Walla Walla and the in
land empire to assure the success of
the portage railway by securing an
appropriation from the Washington
Legislature to clear the channel of the
upper Columbia and Snake rivers"
The information that Washington
will be asked to appropriate money TO
assist in opening the Columbia and
Snake rivers will be received with
much satisfaction by the people Of
oregon, since this state has borne the
principal expense of making river
transportation possible, while Wash
ingtOn farmers have shared in the
benefits of the portage road.
1t is hoped by Oregon that the
Washington legislature may be pre-
vailed upon to appropriate money for
the purpose of assisting in the work of
developing river transportation.

Whitney in Portland last Monday, will
not be prosecuted on the charge of
murder, as the circumstances con-

deed, according to his confession, be-
cause Whitney had blankly refused to
marry Murrays sister, whom the vic

The conduct of the young man

Attorney General Moody has issued
instructions to United States attorneys
regar ding prosecutions of violations of
the eight hour law, In which he says
the government is determined upon a
strict enforcement of this statute as
relating to public works of the United
States. Within the last 10 weeks as
many as 900 alleged violations have
been reported. c. ]. Carlton, law
yer of Haverhill, Mass, has been ap-
pointed by General Moody to have
special charge of violations.
The attorney generals letter, after
calling attention of the United States
attorneys to the eight hour law, says:
The government is determined up
on a strict enforcement of this statute
and you are directed diligently to in
vestigate all complaints which may
come to you from any source. Of vio-
lations Of this law and upon your own
initiative to make investigations if
there appears to you to be any reas-
onatle ground for suspecting viola
ton Of this law. In every case in
which you can secure sufficient evil
dence, you will submit that evidence
TO the grand jury with a view to
securing an indictment.
Your attention is particularly di-
recteG to the exception in the first
section of the statute, under which
laborers and mechanics may be work
ed mere than eight hours in a cal
eudar day, in case OF extraordinary
emergency In a recent case in the
district OF Massachusetts,, Judge Dodge
defined the phrase as follows:
Extraordinary Emergency
"'An extraordinary emergency such
as is contemplated by this act is the
sudden happening of something not
Of the usual customary or regular
kind, demanding prompt action to
avoid immediate danger 10 life. limb,
health or property. The possibility
Of danger is not enough. The peril
must be certainly unusual, imminent
and actual in order TO constitute an
extraordinary emergency such as the
statute coEtemplates.'
Judge Dodge also ruled that prob
able pccuniary loss to the contractor
unless due to an extraordinary cmer-
gency as defined above, IS only an
ordinary business risk.
Il degre to impress upon YOU the
impo. tance OF using every effort to
execute these directions; of being Wig
liant and active in this matter. You
viii make prompt and full report Ia
me of all cases and Of your action
thereon with your reasons therefor
You will report Immediately the action
OF the grand jury and the results of
all trials, with a specific statement
OF the penalty imposed"
