GRAFT IN STREET RAILWAYS.

In September, 1896, the Metropoli-
tan Street Railway company had is
sued and delivered to the Metropoli-
tan Traction company $13,500.000 of
stock in payment of other properties
and securities purchased from that
company. That is all the information
made public in regard to these trans
actions. What were the properties
and securities thus acquired? No
body knows. The items go down in
the books, the totals appear in the re-
ports. there is no explanation of the
entries and the properties and securi-
ties are left to the public to surmise.
All we know is that the Metropolitan
Traction company, owned by the syn
dictate, had no legitimate function
in the operating of the street-rail-
road system of New Yark, that it was
used as a clearinghouse for the Sc
cret deals Of the syndicate and that
here in these two items total of 49,
500,O 600 Of the stockholders money was
paid to it on a bald entry.-Charles
Edward Russell in the January Every

doubled Considering what imitators
the Union Pacific had. and what use
was made of it's speculations in pro-
noting the mad exploits on the stock
exchange toward the end of 1905, We
have III these figures an instructive
chapter in the story of the panic of
1907
One would say so. Moreover, we
see llere-all of us-what has become
of the immense sums extorted from the
traffic of the whole west, including
Oregon. This sort of thing has been
going on among the whole body of
piungers and spectators in New York.
They are in the hole-a Thousand
fathoms down. What wonder? When
will the Union Pacific recover it's
squandered resources and be able to
resume its legitimate business of max
ing betterments and extensions?

ing the band wagon by changing his
vote to Futon.
Now the people of Oregon appear to
have gone crazy over Statement No.
l, of their direct primary law, which
is a pledge ,oy their legislative car di-
dates that they will always and for
ever vote for the popular candidate for
United States senator. Fulton is not
much of believer in this Statement
No. l business as he has announced
and as he demonstrated in his fight
ate. In addition to this Fulton has
been tarred a little by the assertions
of Francis ]. Heney that he would be
able to connect the senator with some
alleged shady dealings in the land
fraud business.
With the withdrawal of ex-United
States Senator Fred w. Mulkey from
the race this spring there remains but
one candidate, so far, against Fulton:
II. NJ. Cake who was defeated by Sen
ator Bourne at the last election. Under
these conditions there is a possibility
of the nomination of Fulton ard it
would appear, in the light of past
events, that the Oregonian is not 60
ing to be placed in any position where
it cannot give Fulton what is coming
to him" if it so desires.
With Fulton the nominee it would
not be surprising to see the Orego-
MAN out for Governor Chamberlain
VINO will undoubtedly be the only
democratic aspirant.
There is perhaps no man on the Pa
cific coast who has done So much for
the republican party as Harvey w.
colt, editor of the Oregonian. and yet
the party refused to send him to the
United States senate when he wanted
to go and it is doubtful if there ever
was man in Oregon more capable
than Mr.. Scott. The republican, party
owed him much and many of the poll
ticianS owed ali their success to the
editor of the Oregonian, yet his re-
ward was cold turn down and. in adj
dition to his natural dislike for GER
tain members of a certain faction in
Oregon, it is not surprising that he now
feels that he owes nothing to the re-
publican party as it is now organized
or disorganized. in Oregon.
Considering the political history of
the republican party in that state and
considering the experience which the
Oregohian and its editor has had with
the party in the past, there is perhaps
no great reason to wonder at the DO
sltlon that paper has taken politically.

SELL LINES At AUCTION
Court Order Will Complete Chicago
Street Railway Deal.

CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-A sale of the
properties of the North Chicago Street
Railway company, the West Chicago
Street Railway company, and the Chi
cago Union Traction company under
decree of foreclosure was ordered by
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, sitting In
the United States Circuit Couf. The
sale is to take place at noon on Jan,s6
airy 25. 1908, at the county courthbuse.
An order was also eereds iastructing
the receivers of the pr694fty to exc
cute to the Chicago Railway company,
the holding company organized to take
over the franchise voted by the city
council some months ago, a lease of
all the lines of the street railroads
operated by them. The lease is to ex-
pire on February 2. 1927.
1t is taken for granted that the Chi
cago Railway company will be the only
bidder for the property at the sale.
and the order Of the court is in effect
merely a form of plan worked out
for the rehabilitation of the Union
Traction system by the Chicago Rail-
ways company.
Following the acceptance on Febru-
airy l of the ordinance by which the
Chicago Railways company will come
into possession of the traction proper
ties affected by the decree, the rail-
ways company will Immediately begin
rehabilitating the lines at a cost of
100000 and within three years
must have rebuilt at least 80 miles of
single track and put in operation at
least l20I new cars.

THE FINANCIAL CLIQUES

A message from London informs
us that financial London as a whole is
beginning to believe that the real moral

and it anticipates resumption of tri-
umphaht control of your enterprises
by manipulative cliques."
1t is reasonable apprehension. but
there is ground to believe that the
financial cliques will go broke" nav.
that many of them have gone broke
already. The difficulty experienced in
resumption of business in New York.
by this class of people, is an eloquent
story And it is presaging.
1t is the gang whose operations
broke the back of credit and brought
on the panic. 1t is the gang whose
banks-or banks to which the gang

curities" of imaginary value, upon
which t2ere is no possibility of realiz-
alton. The members of the gang are
holding on desperately, but they will
