MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Subject Brought Up for Discussion IN
the Senate.

stt., the Senate.
Warrington, June 21.-By q vote of
II to 20 the senate voted down an
amendment on a street car extension
bill providing for franchise tax of
IL per cent on the net earnings Of all
corporations in the District of Col
umbia. Senator Patterson made
speech in favor Of municipal ownership
of public utilities. He admitted that
there may not be sufficient informa
ton to justify the adoption of such q
policy for the government of the capt.
tai city, but commended that sentiment
in favor Of that policy is growing
throughout the world, and he urged
that tho district should take the lead
in the reform. He said that one of
the evils attaching to the private con-
troll OF the corporations is found in
their activity in politics and. referring
to conditions in Denver, his home city.
he said the corporations are SO power
fnl that the people are hopeless. He
asserted that these corporations, s.in-
struments for iniquity," hold the ex-
ecutive committees of both parties in
grip Of iron.

FOR San FRANCISCO

Warrington, June 20. - tacit
agreement has been reached by the

egation of representative citizens Of

In an interview, Gen. Dessino said
he expected another Chinese outbreak
before long, not so much rising sim

patriotic movement to free China from
foreign restrictions. Within the last
two years, he says, there has been q
rgowing movement to secure China for
the Chinese without foreign interfer-

movement was assuming an alarming
phase.

the preservation Of the historical in
terests of the state. In this connec-
tion. it was stated that something

PLENTY IN THE WORLD
Senator EfLins Declares We Need 70
y. LeArnsD Distribution.


\. LeArnsp Distribution
Elkins, w. va, June 21.-Before
thsclosing session Of the West Viz
Qinia Bankers Association the fea-
tn,res were addresses by Secretary Of
the Treasury Shaw and United States
Senator Elkins Of this state. The con-
yention was brought to close by q
banquet at the home Of Senator Elkins.
Senator Elkins spoke on the income
and inheritance taxes and said that
the twentieth century was getting
ready for the res justment OF the IN
terests of humanity.
Money in certain sense is conse-
Grated" he said. money is an order
on the world for what the world pro-
duces, and in all countries and chimes
this order is always honored."
He declared that poverty and want
will yet be banished from the world.
He said:
"There is enough wealth in the
world now to prevent poverty, but we
have not yet learned how to distribute
it. We understand the ways Of &C.
cumulation, but not of distribution.
Society and government are constant
~ struggling with great questions.
Society, under free government, has
reached the point where it can get
what it demands, what is best for it,
and protect itself without force.
"Competition and individuslism go
hand in hand" said the senator, land
up to a certain point are wholesome
and beneficial to commerce and bust
ness.
''Unrestrained competition in the
business world" he added throws
society back on the cruel law of the
survival Of the fittest, and in the end
the strong prevail and dominate.
Competition and individualism are the
parents of present conditions. of trust
of combinations and colossal for
tunes. Theodore Roosevelt once said
that he thought compromise be-
tween individualism and socialism
would be best. I replied that appar-
emily this might be a solution, but
how could society get rid of evils of
both while holding on to their bene-
fits?"

SPOKANE JOBBERs HEAR I! !! l E9qH!
s. COMMISSION. :
Special Distributing Rate VIII
Soon Be Abrogated, Il Is Said.
Change to Be Made on De
mand of Interior Towns for
Equal Treatment.

Spokane, Jone 2O.-Spokane jobbers
have received from the state railway
commission specimen Of what they
may expect in the W ay Of q readjust-
ment of rates in response to the
demand made by Walla Walla when
the commission was first appointed,
that all other points in the state be
given the same treatment that Spokane
receives.
The commission told the jobbers
that they cannot longer expect special
distributing rates, but that dds
lance" rate would be determined that
will apply alike to all points not on
tidewater. This will be q maximum
rate, but it will be about as low as the
present Spokane rate, which is only
about half the rate which other points
have been compelled to pay.
It has cost Colfax about twice as
much to ship q barrel of -four to Spo-
kane as it cost Spokane to ship Q bar
rel of flour to Colfax.
The distance rate which the COM
mission proposes to establish will be
n .UdTlu LII WAlCA tA0 u0AAuOW A0VO
for given distance will be the same
from every point. 1t means that all
towns will be given the distributing
rate which Spokane alone has enjoyed
in the past.
Walla Walla Demanded Equality
Walla Walla some months ago de-
handed to be placed on an equality
with Spokane, but the commission has
delayed action until the present time.
In one respect Walla Walla will be
even better off than Spokane, for her
rate from the Coast is a few cents less
that the Spokane rate from the coast.
The railroads might give Spokane q
still further reduction under the pro-
posed maximum distance" rate, but
as they must bring their rates for all
other points down to the Spokane rate
they will not willingly grant this city
further reductions.
The commission met with the inter
state commerce committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce in q lengthy
session yesterday afternoon at which
about all the big jobbers of the city
we're present.
The members of the commission ar
gued that Spokane will not be hurt by
the distance" rate, and some of the
jobbers are Of the same opinion.

HITCHCOCK MAY ADVISE
VETO OF INDIAN Bill

Washington, June 2O.-It ID not i'm
probable that Secretary Hitchcock will
advise the president not to sign the
Indian appropriation bill in its present
form. The secretary objects to several
provisions OF the measure, including
the so-called "Colville graft" relating
20 tho payment Of attorneys for ALLEGED
services on behalf Of the Indians.
