day, a life unstai1ed by vice of any

CONGRESS OBJECTS TO NEW
MExICO'S RAILROAD LAW

According to a correspondent of the
Albuquerque Journal the Legislators
at Washington do not like the sta
tutes regarding railroads on the New
Mexico law books. He says, through
the Journal:
The house committee on territories
has been investigating some of the re-
markable statutes of the territory of
New Mexico and has reached the CON
clusion that the railroads have exer-
cisedF altogether too much influence
in the making of the territorial laws.
AS a result the committee will recon-
mend for passage a joint resolution
disappearing and multiplying certain
enactments of the territorial leglsla-
ture. 1t will be recalled that during
the last session of congress-, charges
were constantly made that the rail-
roads aid mining corporations were
in complete control of both Arizona
and New Mexico, and that they were
violently opposed to statehood, lest.
under the new regime, they should
lose their complete domination of af-
fairs. Sometime ago Mrs. NADIA B.
Wagner, a nonresident of New Mexico
attempted to sue the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad on account of the
death of her husband, who was kill
ed in a wreck in New Mexico. Her
counsel, Charles A. Clerk, of Cedar
Rapids. Iowa, went to New Mexico
and discovered hat in 1906 the terri
tordal legislature mad passed a law
requiring that in such cases a claim
for damages must be brought within
the territory of New Mexico and with

Kansas City, Feb. 4.-E. NJ. Without
an Independent oil man of Springfield

state Commerce Commission and
made charges of discrimination in
rates by railroads in this section in
favor of the Standard Oil Company.
The roads involved are alleged TO be
the Frisco, Katy and Missouri Pacific
The petitions against the three roads
are separate aid set forth the exact
towns and distances and rates com
planned of. AS a specific example OF
the alleged discrimination the CONF
plainant states that the Frisco system
charges the Standard Oil Company N
ly II cents on oil shipments from its
refinery at Neodosha, Kan. to st.
Louis, while it charges the indepen-
lent oil men % cents from Joplin to
ST. Louis, which is not nearly so far.
1t is also alleged by Without that the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas o charg-
es the Standard only II cents OF oil
shipments from Erie Kansas, to Jop-
lin, Mo-, while it charges him 10 cents
Many similar complaints are made
against these roads, different towns
and rates being named. Without is

oil dealers in the country and has
long been at war with the Standard
Oil Company n the railroads. Ee

custer suit brought against Attorney
General Hadley against the Standard
Oil Company. He states that through
an appeal to the Missouri railroad
commission he has secured reasonable
rates within tie state but that the
railroads continue to discriminate IL
gainst him on interstate shipments.
Another case to be heard by the com
mission is that . of the Kansas City
Board of Trade against all railroads
entering Kansas City, charging unlaw-
full reconsignment rates on grain pr
ducts.

SHOULD THE SALToN

Recently a number of articles have
been published in New Mexico papers
recommending the Salton Sea be pre-
served. The ground for the idea of
continuing the e is that it has been
beneficial in it's effects on the climate
of New Mexico and Arizona. It is
in question that this sea has been re-
sponsible for the greatly increased
rainfall in these two territories dur
ing the past two years. and that if
the sea De left alone to spread over
its natural boundaries, that the rain
fall of New Mexico and Arizona will
be such as to produce crops without
