NEW SPEED REGULATION.
Patrol wagons Directed 10 TO slow
Approaching Street Corners.

As result Of protest over the arrest
Of Driver Dade. Of the ambulance Of the
Casualty Hospital. for alleged speeding.
Mai. Sylvester yesterday inserted a clause
in the police regulations which will re-
Quire patrol drivers TO limit speed when
approaching corners. especially on car
crossings. in such a way as to admit Of
their turning to the right or the left.
Physicians of the city including the
staff Of the Emergency Hospital ard
owners of private ambulsnces, have OBJ
tanned legal advice. They believe this ac-
ton by Maj. Sylvester will not protect
Capt Mathews as It will operate as
an ex-post-facto law. Until the major
made this addition to the police regula-
tions there was nothing to regulate the
exact speed at which ambulances, patrol
wagons. and fire engines might go.
1t is held by the counsel retained by the
Casualty Hospital in the matter that
every time a patrol wagon or fire engine
answers a hurry call and drives at the
rate Of more than twelve miles an hour

ing the past century. Virginia,
was liberal in her earlier career, and
gave many States TO the Union But IN
recent times States have preferred tc
keep what they have. The last instance
Of the kind was the formation of the
state Of West Virginia When Virginia
seeded, the counties west of the Ale
ghenies were out OF sympathy with the
movement. They therefore held a con-
ventiou at Wheeling, organized them
selves into a fictitious legislature Of Vir-
ginia, and then gave Virginias assent TO
the erection Of the State of West Vir-
ginia. Strange TO say, the constitutional
ity Of this procedure is now before the
Supreme Court OF the United states, in
directly growing out of the Virginia debt
case. When the West Virginia demurrer
to the Virginia suit was argued, counsel
for Virginia styled the proceedings OF
the Wheeling convention and legislature a
piece Of legal fiction. AT least one Re
publican member OF the court agreed that
il was unconstitutional. and could only
be upheld, If at all, on the grounds Of
the extraordinary conditions growing out
OF civil war.

freedom from outside control 1t is said
that the people of the Inland Empire

they do of the ones To which they now

sources Of the Inland Empire are agri-

added. Mr.. Russell said he had made no

In spite of the fact that he had served
in Caracas for almost thirteen years, he

The Washington herald., 1908-05-21

There have been numerous changes Of
boundaries in the far West in the past
fifty years. but all OF these alterations
were made while the present States were
Territories At the time Oregon was
made a Territory there were only two
Territories IL the northwestern part Of
the United States west of the present
State Of Minnesota, namely, Oregon and
Nebraska. Oregon then extended from
the present California boundary line to
the Canadian border. The people Of the
northern part Of the Territory found
Salem, their State capital. cut of from
them by reason OF the great distance.
An agitation was started which resulted
in the creation Of the Territory Of Wash
ington, This new Territory extended east
TO the Rocky Mountains and embraced
portions OF the present States Of Idaho
and Montana. AS there were but few
inhabitants east OF the Cascade Noun
tains, Olympia, then the center Of popu-
lation, was chosen for the capital.
The discovery OF gold In the Territory
row constituting the State Of Idaho
brought some $1,000 miners there. The
Territory OF Idaho was then erected. II
embraced all of the present State Of
Idaho, all or Montana. and the northern
part OF the present State OF Wyoming.
Lewiston was then the capital. but gold
discoveries In Southern Idaho threw the
balance OF population into that section
and Boise succeeded as the Territorial
capital. Thus the conflict OF interests
began early. After this was done the
people Of the Idaho Panhandle wanted
TO join the State of Washington. They
fought against overwhelming odds. but
finally got a bill through Congress max
ing it possible. But a Waterloo was
struck IN the shape of a veto BY Presi-
dent Cleveland, and so the proposition
has never been made a law.
This long agitation was kept alive By
the fact that the two parts Of the State
are separated by a wel-nigh impossible
barrier of mountains. There are no rail-
road connections whatever. and only the
crudest OF trails and wagon roads. In
Washington there is said to be a deep
seated friction between the eastern and
the western portions OF the State, and
that there has not been a legislature in
dfty years where this conflict of inter-
ests was not in evidence. In Oregon the
came conflict Of interests is TO be found
II that State there is only one State in
stifution east OF the Cascades. This Is a
small normal school, which leads a some

the threats Of its adjustment by the

It is proposed TO call the new State
Lincoln. Other names have been sug-
gested. but this one seems to meet with
the most general approval. Spokane
would probably be made the capital. al
though the people here say that the mat
ter or q choice Of a capital must not
be considered now, that this must be
a question left entirely 20 the future.
Getting the new State established is
the only matter for consideration now.
However, Spokane is right IN the heart
Of the territory mapped out. as Boise
viii be IN the heart oe the reformed
state OF Idaho.
There will be hard time ahead for
the people who propose to establish this
new State. Three legislatures must agree
TO the proposition. because the COnstitu-
ton OF the United. States expressly sets
forth that no territory shall be taken
away from State for the setting up OF
a new State without the consent OF its
legislature. And after three legislatures
have assented to the proposition, 1t will
still remain for Congress to say whether
the territory thus ceded by the legisla-
lures shall be erected into State or not.
tt will thus be seen that Herculean legis-
lative labors are ahead OF those who
have the task in hand.
