Anna Hess was the record owner,

Make Rebating Improbable

A practical way Of putting an end to
the rebate evil is suggested in the
story sent out from Chicago concerning
the conviction of the Standard Oil
company on 1863 counts, out of a
total Of 1908, on indictments for hav
ing received rebates from the Chicago
& Alton railroad on shipmenta Of oil
from Whiting, Ind. to East St. Louis
Ill. The oil company accepted a
rate of cents per hundred pounds
when the published rate was Is cents
per hundred gounds.
Under the Elkins law the company
is liable to fine ranging from $1,000
to $40, 900 for each offense. Should
the court impose the maxium fine of
$4,000 in each OF the 1863 cases
on which conviction was had, it would
mean the assessment of a total of
$29, ,260,0 900 in fines against the com
pany.
1t isn't likely, OF course, that the
court will impose the maxium fine in
each OF these cases, because such an
act instead of strengthening the hands
of the government might prove a pos
tive benefit to the offending COM
pany, for shrewd counsel would no
doubt Immediately set up the cry of
persecution and practical confiscation;
at the same time, the fact is worth
considering whether it would not be
wise public policy for the courts of the
country to go as near the maxium as
possible in imposing fines in all cases,
especially where violations of the law
have been deliberate persistent and
wanton.
Law sare not mad to be mocked. They
are made to be respected. Persons
and corporations, whenever it may be
shown that they have willfully violated
the law, ought to be made as rule, to
stand the full consequences of their
acts. The maximum fine in aggra-
vated cases of rebating would put an
end to the practice, and it is about
the only thing that will put an end to
it. So long as the fines are small, re-
batting may be carried on at a profit.
1t should be made Improbable to Of
fend the law in this particular, as in
all other particulars.

REMEDY FOR PEAR BLIGHT
r. c Pitcher Thinks He Has Discovered
Remedy

In speaking to reporter Of the
Wenatchee World Mr.. Pitcher of
Orondo Wash, said; l have just re-
turned from trip thru California and
believe I have a remedy for pear
blight.
In speaking of this very interesting
subject, Mr.. Pitcher said: This remedy
is a very simple one and consists OF
taking a quart and a half of rock salt
and placing it around the roots of the
trees affected. Then cover the salt
with an inch or two of earth. This
done turn in the water about twice
to dissolve the salt.
Il found this to be successful in
Red Bluff, California. 1t was not an
experiment on the part Of one man,
but has been used successfully among
large number OF growers in that sec
ton. I am surprised that it has not
been reported before this. l saw a
pear orchard which was affected. The
owner applied the salt, trimmed the
trees back, and today the orchard is as
good as ever.
The neighborhood where l visited
was a quiet one and this is the reason
perhaps that the matter had not been
reported ere this From all that l
could learn on this question down there
cannot but firmly believe that we
have found the remedy.
In talking OF the fruit condition
Mr.. Pitcher paid compliment to
this section when he said After all
that is said in regard to fruit raising,
this region far echpses any place ! Wis
tied. We not only raise better fruit
but we raise more OF it TO the acre.

CONvICTS ON PUBLIC ROADS
Forty Viii Be Employed on the Road from
Pateros to the British Columbia
Boundary

In talking to a reporter of the We
natchee World last Tuesday, regarding
state road No. II, State Highway Com
missioner ]. M. Snow said:
We expect to introduce a novel
feature up there-employ convicts on
public highway. This has not been
done before in the state of Washington,
and we are anxious to give the plan
tryout. But there seems no reason
why this experiment should not prove
success in supplying the state with fair
labor at low cost. Down at the pris-
on it costs 30 cents day to keep these
men in idleness. This cost of mainte-
nance will be increased to 90 cents a
day when we get them up on the road,
on account of necessary extra guards,
quarters, food, etc. But the labor Of
these men, tho possibly not so valuable
as that Of another class Of workingmen,
will easily be worth $500 day to the
government. So then, even if il should
IOol do Hull do w NIulo Aei@ ~
maintain them on the road, the govern
ment will be ahead on the deal. As
said, this will be the first time that con
vict labor has been used for work on
the public highways in this state.
An experiment was recently tried
in this state Of working convicts on a
rock crusher, and the results were very
gratifying. The board of control found
that in buying crushed rock, IS cents
cubic yard was the least it could be OBJ
tanned for, and by the use Of convict
labor on the crusher it has been found
possible to obtain the same rock at
37H cents a cubic yard, or just one
half of what the state had TO pay in the
open market.
The 40 convicts will be taken up
onto road No. II soon and started in
there. This road runs from Pateros
north thru the Methow valley, up Rob
inson creek and on over the summit. /"
