GRATING CHARGES
Grand Jurors to investigate Reports of
Illegal Retention of Fees by
Officials.

Peoria, Ill. Feb. Following ale
cations that City Clerk Robert Joos
wrongfully has retained license money
belonging to the city. and that Police
Magistrate Frank Fox kept more than
his rightful fees. the grand jury has
decided to investigate the graft charg-
es against several city officials. Nearly
Il score of subpoenas were issued. and
il is expected the investigation will be.
gin the first of next week. An audit
of the books of several officials was
made some months ago. 1t is admit
ted that Police Magistrate Fox and
City Clerk Joos were found to be
short in their accounts. Instead of r.
porting this fact the auditors are said
to have told the officials of their short
age. and the amounts were made good
The auditors then reported to the city
council that the books We're o. K

Free Seeds soon.

II may be after all that congressman
will continue to send us free seeds;
just now there is no means of being
sure what will be the last action of
that body on this proposition. Last
week the house voted TO do away with
the general free seed distribution and
TO substitute something else in its
place; 10 use the $250.00O to buy rare
seeds and plants and put these in the
hands of experts who can be depended
on 10 do something with them.
This week the house takes another
turn at this matter and reverses its
stand of last week This time the
vote is 1876 to "a, and it is in favor
of continuation of the old style seed
distribution. The experts who want
rare seeds and plants can get out and
hustle for them: we common folks who
want TO feel that the congressman is
not forgetting us are not to be turned
down in this modest little aspiration
That is the way the situation now
stands. OF course we venture no fore
now. The pay of congressman is
about to be increased 80 per cent and
we are not quite able to keep up with
them in the long strides they are max
ing in wisdom to justify themselves in
taking more money for their services

Galveston has abolished the council

ton is said to be the best governed of
all our American cities The Broadway
Magazine, in reviewing the commission
plan, says:
THE commission plan of city gov
eminent does not abridge or curtail
any of the rights of the public neither
does it tend to kill off the great pOliti-
cal parties, deemed essential to main
tain balance of power for good gov
eminent. What the commission plan
accOmplisheS is to eliminate the boss,
by increasing the power and choice of
the individual voters. Ward and dis
trict lines are abolished and commits
sioners are elected at large by direct
vote of the electors. Thus the ward
heller and district leader are left with
no opportunity to influence results, and
no power for graft.
"The commission is all-powerful and
appoints most of the city officials and
employees. and spends practically all of
the money. Hence the practical poll
tician finds it waste of time to bother
with minor offices and jobs. If he can
not control the commission, his voca-

ton is gone. BY having only four men
on commission and appealing to the
people TO nominate candidates of right
character and ability, good citizens
(whO ordinarily are apathetic because
of the hopeless condition of city af-
fairs) become aroused To work and
vote for an efficient and Trustworthy
government.
Representative men, who would not
consider standing for an aldermanic
position. feel complimented at being
named for a commission that is to be
both honest and honorable and will
make pecuniary and busineSr sacrifices
to accept such places. Men of this
stamp secure the active support of the
business element which ordinarily
keeps out of politics. The cities that
have tried government by commission
have never had a dishonest set of com
missiOners.
Experience with commission gov.
eminent is not confined to the three
cities named. Galveston, Nashville ami

MORE o. II. & n. TRAINS.

The o. r. & n. has always been
ready to respond to the needs of east
ern oregon people in the way of in
creased facilities and the East Oregon
ian believes that the train recommend
ed by the state railroad commission,
between Biggs and Pendleton, will be
installed soon.
In Umatila county the o. r. & N.
has given increased facilities in the
busy season and during the past win
ter has run a Sunday train between
this city and Walla Walla. while pat
ronage of the train did not actually
justify the extra expense.
Recently the o. R. & N has INSTALL
ed an extra freight train between
Walla Walla and Umatilla in order
to give quick transportation to the
growing early garden traffic of Walla
Walla. This shows a most commen-
dable spirit on part of the road and
it is believed that the passenger train
between this city and Walla Walla
will soon be put in service again.

DELMAS 63 YEARS OLD.

nous California lawyer who Is the
leading attorney for the defense in
the Harry Thaw case, was born in
France, April IA, 1874. He removed

large to the democratic national con-
ventlon in st. Louis in 1904.

THE RESTLESS AMERICAN.

A. C. Ruby, the well known horse
importer. tells a story which illustrates
the English view of the restless Amer
lean.
On his last trip to England to buy
horses, Mr.. Ruby went to the fine
stock farms of a large grower Of
Shire stations and after a long delay
succeeded in getting the old man
started out to the stables three miles
distant from the residence, to look
over the horses.
Mr.. Ruby had but limited time in
which to visit the stables AMI began
urging the English farmer to greater
speed, They were riding in a single
buggy pulled by horse which barely
moved along the lanes.
Mr.. Ruby told of his limited time,
of the train which would surely leave
London at noon, of the long distance
ahead of them, but it was of no avail.
The old horse crept along, n!puing the
tips of the willow limbs which hung
over the road.
"Hsrry hurry" urged MrI Ruby.
"Oh, take it easy, man; you Americans
rush through the world as though this
were the last day. Take it easy, man;
take it easy; the same train will leave
London tomorrow precisely at noon
and the next day, and the next Let us
take it easy and enjoy the sight OF
my growing crops" replied the COM
placent farmer.
Finally despairing of getting any
more speed out of the old horse, Mr.
Ruby leaped out of the buggy and
started on foot through the fields to-
ward London, which he reached JUS
before his train left.
When he last saw the old English
man he was creeping down the lane
directing the women who were pulling
weeds from his onion beds. as leisure
ly and unconcerned as though he hat

.CUBA'S DENSE FORESTS.

The trains on the Cuban railroad
which is owned by Sir William Var
Horne, Grenville NJ. Lodge and other
enterprising Americans, who have
done so much to develop the interior
provinces of Cuba, plunge into pri-
mcval forest shortly after leaving the
city of Santa Clara.
The trees are covered with orchids
hanging moss and are draped with
vines like those in the cypress swamps
of Florida and southern Mississippi
The growth is so dense that the for
ests are impossible, except where
paths have been cut, and these paths
are like labyrinths, leading to no.

During the revolution for indepen-
dence the forests were the refuge OF

THE PUBLICITY CLUB.

Publicity is one of the bes: cures
known for corruption of any kind.
Few men or corporations can long
bear the light of publicity on their
wrong-doing. They begin to finch
and defend themselves at the first
glare of the light as the light is in
creased, they flee faster and seek hid
ing places more hurriedly.
The East Oregonian believes that It
is possible for the press OF the north
west to break up the lumber and
building material trust if it would
persistently publish the truth about
this trust. Every city in the north
west is being held back by the extor-
tions of this trust. Hundreds of homes
would now be in process of construc-
ton in Oregon, Washington and Idaho
were it not for the unreasonable prices
of lumber
Every newspaper is interested in the
growth of its town. Whatever retard,
the growth of a community is a fiji
subject for editorial excoriation and IN
vestigation. Let the press of the
northwest turn the light upon the
lumber trust and soon the old-t,me
building activity will return with re-
newed energy.
The timber land of the northwest /:
practically controlled by about three
or four syndicates. These syndicate'
are directly responsible for the in
crease in lumber prices. Within th'
past three years the retail price o
lumber has been forced up 35 pc
cent, resulting in the suspension o
nearly all kinds of building.
This is hurting the country Their
is no reason for it, except the insatiat
greed of the trust. Labor is not pait
any better in sawmills and logging
camps than it was 10 years ago an
lumber is SO per cent higher than l
years ago.
Most of the advance in prices is
plain steal by the trust.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-04-18

heavily to bear the burden of govern
ment.
The idle property has been enhanc-
ed in value through the thrift of neigh
hors. The owner of the idle property
has escaped taxation while he has en-
joyed handsome increase in the value
of his holdings.
Thrift is taxed and slothfulness is
at a premium. The man who refused
to build up the town, pave streets, lay
sidewalks, erect modern buildings or
in any way advance the interests of
the community has been made rich by
the industry of those patriotic and
energetic citizens who have given
their time, money and energy to the
upbuilding of the town.
Let us tax the idle property into
usefulness. Let us make the tax 50
high on it that it will be cheaper to
improve it than to have it idle.
