Union of the Pacific Coast States
Being Advocated.

Idaho, Nevada and Utah and the
Territory of Arizona.
What would be accomplished
by such combined effort on the
part of all the interests involved
on the Pacific slope is almost be-
yond computation. Ii would
mean the greatest commercial and
industrial power in the whole
country; it would mean a political
force that would compel recogni-
ton at the hands of Congress and
of the governmental departments;
it would mean the upbuilding of a
part of the United States, the re-
sources of which are beyond the
comprehension of those who have
never studied the political econo-
my of the great western slope of
the nation.
The California Promotion Com
mittee, through its Chairman, Mr..
Rufus P. Jennings, is preparing
for an active movement in the di-
rection of such a combination.
The trip of the Washingtonians,
who traversed both the States of
Oregon and California, brings
about a feeling of amity and COM
munity of interest. The party
from Washington saw California
from the northern line clear down
to Los Angeles, being entertained
at all points of interest in the
State, and when the members re-
turned to their homes they felt
that there was a tie of kinship be-
tween their State and California.
1t is the fostering of this feeling
that is the object of the present
work of the California Promotion
Committee along the lines of Pa
cific States Union.

Will Build In Opposition to Smelter Trust.

The Oregon Short Line Rail-

large grading outfit to work on
the preliminary construction work
of new spur leading to the site
of the new 81 900, 900 smelling
plant that will be erected by the
Utah Smelling Company. seven
miles north of Ogden. When this
track has been completed the ma
terial necessary for the building
of the smelter will be shipped in
and the construction work of the
plant will be commenced. 1t is
expected that the same will be
completed and be ready for busi-
ness within the next six months.
This plant will be the first inde-
pendent smelling concern to enter
| the field since the trust gained
control of all the smelling interests
of the country, therefore it is look
ed upon as an important move
and one that is destined to make
the city of Ogden a prominent

The recent visit of the party of
excursionists from the State of
Washington, headed by Governor
Mead, to California. following as
it did, a similar excursion from
Oregon, headed by Governor
Chamberlain, shows conclusively
that the idea of union of the
Pacific States is nearer a consum-
nation than many people suppose.
1t has been the idea of DR.. Rufus
p. Jennings, Chairman of the Cali
fornia Promotion Committee, for
some years that an organization
for the commercial and industrial
cooperation of the six Pacific
Coast States and the Territory of
Arizona, formed on the lines of
the California Promotion Commit
tee, would tend to bring about
broader development of the Coast
region, and a wider recognition
commercially and politically of the
wonderful resources of this part of
the United States.
What has been accomplished by
the California Promotion Commit
tee for California in the way of
publicity and development can be
done even on a broader scale for
the entire Coast region if the six
States and the Territory of Ari-
zona shall join hands in further
ance of this great work. Natur-
ally the first requisite for such a
union would be the complete or
ganization of each State under
the influence of a central organiza-
tion, which would be represented
in body composed of representa-
tives from each of the States of
Washington, Oregon, California,

Copper Going Higher.

A New York dispatch to James
A. Pollock & Co, of Salt Lake, re-
views the copper metal market as
follows:
The copper metal market is
still in a very strong position, and
while there has been no import
ant change in prices during the
last few days it is, apparent that
prices must soon be advanced on
account of urgent demands from
consumers. There are but few
large orders reported in the
American market at the moment,
for the reason that requirements
for the next three or four months
have been filled here, but the de-
mand from abroad is growing each
day, and under present conditions
must force prices to much higher
level"

better understood when it is re-
membered that about two months
ago Charles M. Schwab, the steel
magnate, who is largely interested
in mining properties of the west,
under a threat to start an inde-
pendent smelter on the coast,
forced the trust to grant him a re-
duction of S. per ton on all his
ores. Mr.. Schwab went so far as
to lease an old abandoned smelt-
ing plant near San Francisco, but
when he secured the reduction
mentioned he abandoned the idea
of operating it. The actual opera
tion of an independent concern, it
would seem, must necessarily
bring about some effect that would
be favorable to the producers.
The Utah Smelling Company is
backed by a strong combination of
capitalists, its president being
David Eccles of this city, who is
widely known as man of sterling
business integrity and was never
known to fail in any enterprise
with which he became identified.

was to kill the broad court review
amendment?
Why did he talk with approval of
the "impounding or escrow plan"
OF Spooner? Why did he suggest
that certain eminent Republican
senators were attempting to multi
fy the entire bill with court review
amendments? Why did he not dis
cover sooner that the naked Hep
burn bill gives a narrow court re-
view? What right has he to de-
clare that the Hepburn bill with
the Allison amendment gives a mar
row court review, when practically
all the railway lawyers of the SEN
ate are unanimous that 1t gives a
broad review, and practically all
the anti-railway lawyers for once
agree with them?
So much for the rejoinder of the
presidents critics. Now for an i'm
partial opinion on one or two other
points involved:
AS to Tillman's claim that vic.
tory was practically assured when
PRESIDENT Roosevelt went over to
the railway crowd; there is rea.
son to believe that there was room
for an honest difference of opinion
here.
Bailey was in fact, confident of
enough votes to pass the comDrom-
Use set forth in the Moody memo
randum." but 1t has since been
learned that the trouble makers
were at work, and some Democrats
who have grown bitterly Jealous of
bailey succeeded in getting word
to Roosevelt which made the latter
believe that the Democratic votes
would not be forthcoming.
The facts seem to be that Bailey
was dealing fairly, and that Roose-
welt permitted his pretudices to be
worked upon. 1t is also quite pos
sible that the Democratic strength
was in fact less than Bailey be.
lieved.
That the Democratic allies were
treated unfairly must be set down
to the presidents occasional lack
or proper considera ton for the
nlceties of feeling and propriety.
The same must also be said of
the hasty denunciation by the pres
ident Of VIM. E. Chandler, whose
personal character is in need of no
defense and who was serving the
president and the public from mo,
tives less interested than those OF
any other person involved in the
controversy. Senator Lodge tricked

temper.

ROOSEVELT B[UNDER;;" PRESIDENTS
FIRST BAD ONE A HARD HIT

What is the consequence? The
United States senate swings back
In one tragic rebound to the con-
troll of the corruptionists.
The president may count always
on the hate and secret hostility Of
the men of his own party who are
under the control of the railways
and the trusts. The other element
now will refuse to permit them
selves to be used as a club to drive
the venal ones into line.
The president faces a solid front
of hostility in the senate.
1t is the saddest thing that has
happened in the Roosevelt admin
istration.
In history 1t will probably be
known as the Roosevelt blunder."

WANT STREET
OPENED

The question of opening upeWal-
nut street between Bridge and
Broadway avenues will come up in
the city council tonight. This mat
ter has been a vexed question to
two preceding city councils.
A pile of rocks obstructs Walnut
street about College avenue. The
residents on this thoroughfare be-
tween Broadway and Bridge want
the rocks cleared away and the
thoroughfare opened. the cost OF
the work to be assessed to the
property owners between Bridge
and Boone avenues. The property
owners between Broadway and
Boone object and insist that those
owning property between Broad
way and Bridge avenues should pay
for the improvement.
The work would cost about $4,000.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May %
The Tillman charge that President
Roosevelt betrayed the Democrats
in the rate bill matter is becoming
a hotter sensation every hour
Washington talks of nothing else
. For the first time in seven years
the president appears to lack pub
lie approval.
Not since he has been in the
White House has he been so bitter
" attacked with so few defenders.
To the impartial observer there
is some right and some wrong on
both sides. Even the presidents
friends admit his lack of discretion.
Some apologists say he was mis-
lead. Theey admit he was tactless,
but deny that he deceived.
Here are the issues concisely:
Tilman and Bailey, corroborated
by Chandler. charge:
First-That President Roosevelt
surrendered TO the railway sena'
tors in accepting the Hepburn bill
with the ALLISON amendment as
to court review.
Second-That the surrender was
unnecessary and was made at the
moment when victory was assured.
Third-That President Roosevelt
went over 10 the enemy without no
tice to his Democratic allies who
had made victory possible.
Fourth-That the treeachery was
less excusable since he had him
se.l sought the alliance,
To these charges the president
has replied:
First-That he has not surrend-
cred in accepting the Allison
amendment. but has. in fact. gained
o great and substantial victory.
Second-That he did not break
off negotiations with the Demo
cratic allies until it had been
demonstrate dthat victory was not
possible on the basis of their pro-
posals.
Tnird-No reply.
Fourth-That the alliance was
sought by the Democrats and that
the Tillman-Bailey ?Chandler-M orey
conferences were no more signifi'
cant, and no more binding than
numerous other conferences which
were continuously being held.
To which the following rejoinder
is made by the presidents critics
If, as claimed, the Hepburn bill
was always satisfactory why die

restricted court review? Why die
he call the conference at the Whit

WOULD SUPPRESS NEWS.

The action Of the Central Labor

its proceedings comes as a sur
prise to many, and particularly so
to the newspapers, which, as a rule,
have tried to be uniformally fair
to organized labor in the publica-

but the action taken in this matter
last night will react in a way to
hurt the local unions, as 1T makes

to publish labor's side of any con-
troversy which may arise in the

will not be the formal opening of
the rink, however, as that event
will be delayed on account Of the
non-arrival of the skates.
The large tent covering of the
rink will be suspended by cables
on the outside. This will do away
with all poles and give clear floor

On the evening of the formal

be a bower Of beauty.
On this night exhibitions of

NEW YORK, May 22.-That the
enormous importation TO gold into

is effectually putting a stop to the

More than $50,0O0,0O0 in gold has
recently been unloaded from trans

mer controller OF the currency, ex-
planned the recent vast importa-
tions.
Money Rates Tickle.
Money operates automatically"
he said. Like everything else, it
finds its level. High loan rates
here call for gold from abroad. 1t
was natural that there should be
extensive imports when our call

Then came the offer of the sec
rotary of the treasury to temporar-
lily loan to national banks govern
