NEW SECRETARY "plAYS" SYSTEM

Bismarck, Jan. Is. Alfred Blaisdell,
the new secretary Of state, has adopted
a plan in the handling of his office
which will reduce much of the work to
system. Before coming to Bismarck
to assume the duties of his office he
prepared a number of blank receipts
and is requiring every official who re-
ceives even so much as a postage stamp
to receipt the same. When the house
was organized resolution was intro
duced by Representative Shirley which
read as follows: THAT the secretary
Of state be authorized and directed to
furnish the speaker and chief clerk Of
house with the necessary postage
the stamps during the session. . Major
Buttz, who announced that had become
reformer, moved the adoption .of the
following substitute: THAT The sec
retary of state be authorized and dir
ected to furnish the speaker, CHIEF
clerk and house members with necessar,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
bunes Washington Special Writes Eneansk Of the Ooogs
! T. = - Of the National Capitol.

-. Maryland politicians are trying to
create a boom for young Arthur P.
German, son Of the late Senator. A
common observation in Washington is
that these young sons Of somebody"
are not what they are supposed to be.
The magic of great. name goes a
great ways here, but the line is drawn
at the efforts of politicians to perpetu-
ate political machines that they may
profit thereby. Senator German was a
power in departmental circles, and had
good jobs for many constituents, and
that alone is sufficient for his friends
to hold the "balance of power" in the
family. .... r.t .,. s....,., ..,..
The House of Representatives has
brought out the '.boogy man" to stop
legislation other than the appropriation
bills. Arule has been passed giving
right of way to the bill codifying the
penal laws of the United States. As
there has not been q codifcation of the
laws since 1874, this bill will be an ex-
cellent buffer; to -sidetrack legislation
not desired by the party leaders.
: Rarely has there been such q mix-up
in the alignment Of both political par
ties as now. There are Roosevelt Re-
publicans. Odell Republicans, Taft Re.

and the result will be shortage, if not
an actual famine. A total of 437 Farm
ers' Bulletins were printed last year,
and the demand is growing from day
to day. The reason assigned is that
the Bulletins are becoming more accu-
rate and knowledge of their usefulness
further extended. Over $4,000, 900
copies of all classes of publications
were turned out by the Agricultural
Department last year, the great major
ity of which sell for from S to 10 cents.
The Department, however. distributes
enormous quantities of printed matter
free to the farmers and Libraries.
Everybody interested in agriculture
and horticulture should write to the
Secretary of Agriculture for a list of
free publications.
The government printing, by the
way, is reaching enormous proportions,
although the cooperation of the COM
mittees of Congress, the Public Printer
and the department experts has result
ed in cutting off of most of the super
fluous printing. The Government Print
ing Office is getting on a purely COM
mercial basis, typesetting machines are
in use, and modern methods and ma
chinery are rapidly bringing order out of
chaos. Congress is the largest custom
er of the government printery, and
the work from "the Hill' is turned out
with surprising rapidity and little cost.
Office experts designate matter which
is likely to come in for reprint. and it
is not unusual for two or three men to
send to the press room a million ems of
type after one or two hours work-the
type having been kept STANDING
The constant "holler'' against re.
batting continues, but little attention is
paid to the fact that the Attorney-Gen.
eral decided that the Government o1
the United States could receive re
bates on shipments, but individuals
forming the same Government coult
not do the same. The same govern
1 ment that receives rebates is prosecut
ing other men for doing the sam,
thing.
The franking privilege is costly on
for the Government. A report from
Postmaster-Gene Corteiyou state
that the mail matter franked from tn
executive departments alone aggregat
ed nearly million and a half dollars

Natural Resources.

One of the interesting fragments OF news sent out
from the seat of the National Government states
that it is part of the plan of the Government to
place under Federal control the water power sites
of Idaho, that they may be devoted to the of
the people without the intervention of individual
corporate ownership with its invitation to monopoly
1t is estimated by the inland waterways commits
sents from 100000 to 100000 horsepower. The
force is already there in the water that has for
fallen the precipices and glded down the de-
clivities of the everlasting mountains.
All it needs is the harness-then it will be ready
to turn the multitudnous wheels of industry that
will people the slopes and plains with busy popu-
lation and supply the channels of with the
products of the matchless skill of the American
people When the water has performed its
chanical function it be given to the thirsty soil
and the fields and the orchards will feed the artisans
who toll in the shops and factories.
The people of Idaho hardly realize the gifts that
nature has bestowed upon them in rearing the
tains and eveling the plains and causing the rivers
to flow from the heights down to the abiding places
of There is mechanical power, heat and light
in the arrangement, not only for those who
cupy the State but for the millions who will come
as soon as these natural resources are laid before
them.
Of all these advantages the outside world knows
little. 1t will know more after the waterways
mission has developed its plan.

Freight Discrimination.

A few of the members of Congress share an in
tention to so 1egiSlate to prohibit discrimination
in freight charges between points that are enjoying
real or alleged water competition and points in the
interior This is an intention that needs cutvating
and business men of Idaho will be glad to lend
their assistance for they sufferers from dscrm-
nation that causes them to pay higher rates than
business men on the Pacific Coast 500 miles beyond
them
Railroad companies have made water competition
in the carrying trade an for discriminatory
practices that have crippled many aspiring COM
muntes and built up rivals that would not have
succeeded under square deal in the treatment of
customers.
This discrimination had its origin many years
ago. Rates were reduced to water points of des-
tinaton until transportation competition by water
driven by the cheapness of the service and cities
located in the interior taxed through excessive
charges to compensate the railroads. Although there
is little real water competition in transportation,
especially the rivers, the practice is kept up and
injustice is the result. Legislation this subject
will in time, but perhaps not Immediately.

-Bloodhounds are ON the trail of
two negroes who fought a revolver
duel with Deputy Sheriff Tom Fan
non yesterday, when he attempted to
arrest them. The negroes are sus-

Fannon trailed the negroes to a
nearby point on the Northern Pacific

them. On his command to stop the
men displayed revolvers and opened
fire. In the action one negro was
wounded. Portland dogs were then
obtained and the trail taken up.
