Railway Commission in Lime. Light.

Railway Commission in me.Light.
At the Wheat Growers ASsOcia-
ton Convention in Spokane on the
9th inst, State Railroad Commits
sioner J. C. Lawrence delivered an
address in which he stated that the
Commission of which he is member,
if it had accomplished nothing else
of benefit to the people. had added
one hundred millions of dollars in
railroad property valuations to the
tax-rolls of this State. This is a
mere assertion of an interested party,
who has no power to fix values for
the purposes of taxation, even If his
Commission had the disposition to
do so. This matter is delegated to
the Tax Commission. The people, at
least some of them. will watch and
see what this body will do in that
behalf
Mr.. Lawrence also observed at
that meeting, that the Railway Com
mission costs the State $40, 900
per year, that the benefits to be de-
rived through its acts are prOSpec-
tive; if the railway property valu-
ationS had been placed on the assess
ment rolls. three millions of dollars
would have been added to the taxes
of Washington and paid into the
public treasury. Has the gentleman
taken into consideration the proba-
bility of railway companies in such
event applying to the United States
court, for injunctive relief? The ar
gument on the whole, in favor of the
existence of this body, appears gauzy.
Its chief success lies in its ability to
draw money from the treasury of the
State with which to pay large sala-
ries, expensive clerical assistance
and for expert evidence, in travelling
about the country, telling what
might have been done or will be
done, when the members are unable
to deliver the goods even by grant
ing that their intentions are honest.
1t is insisted that the various pro-
ceedings had before the State and
Federal courts in the past three
years, have amply demonstrated that
this commission is without power to
give the people of this State sub
stantial relief, particularly with ref
erence to its agricultural and lum-
Der interests. True, some slight con-
cessiOns have been made in favor Of
the farmers of Eastern Washington,
but it is very probable the same and
greater concessions by direct appeal
to the railroads would have been
granted, without the interposition
of the commission. AS to the freight
tariffs on lumber, this body seems to
be utterly incompetent to handle the
situation. The obstacles thrown in
the way by railway lawyers, show
pitfalls at every turn. If there was
no commission at all the people in
terested would make their demands
so vigorous that they would come
nearer in getting what they want;
but they expect and wait for their
commission to do something in their
behalf; ask for bread and receive a
stone. Now it seems about the only
thing left for this commission to do
is to advise the tax officials. Wheth-
er they will heed the advice is anoth-
err question involving extreme doubt.
Then again there is a probability
through forgetfulness, or otherwise,
in giving any advice whatever.

ONLY rs Of the AS single mills of
the State are now in operation, and
it is said that five more are likely to
close down. Shingle-bolts are held
at $12 and no more will be delivered
before March, so it is quite proba-
BILE that the base-rate Of 1926 for
stars will be easily maintained.

THE residents of Bluff, a station
a short distance south of Pacific City,
on an interurban line of railway, are
asking the Railroad Commission to
compel the cars to stop at Bluff, OF
move the Pacific station to that
place. 1t looks to Il disinterested
spectator as q pure case of bluff.

Nob-Rule Ia Kentucky

Certain elements in Kentucky have
inaugurated a new method OF dealing
with trusts. The American Tobacco
trust. having pretty thoroughly eX-
plotted the industry in that State, it
left large number of planters to
care for themselves in marketing OF
product. They formed a protective
association. Some individual plant
ers refused to join the association
and sold tobacco to the trust, which
so di>plcased members of the combl-
nation that they organized bands OF
ninht riders, who burned or destroyed
warehouses containing tobacco be
longing to the trust and the indepen-
dent dealers. valued at nearly a mil
lion doll rs. since the Fall of 1906,
with loss of life and infection Of scri-
Gus wounds.
One of the latest raids was made
on the city of Hopkinsville, contain
ing about 10000 people. The riders,
500 in number, at night took posses
sion of the city, controlling the tele-
graph and telephone situation COM
pletely, proceeded to burn ware
houses and buildings containing to-
bacco, inficting q loss of about 500, :
900. and withdrew unmolested. The
protective association claims that the
action of the trust has reduced the
price of tobacco from 8 cents to -
cents per pound, and the value of
farms from $75 to $50 per acre, and
has in many cases rendered vast
tracts comparatively worthless, thus
impOverishing many producers who
can obtain no redress through the
courts or by legislative action. The
governments of France, Italy and
Spain own and control the tobacco
industry of those countries, respec-
lively, and have depended largely on
the trust to supply the commodity. a
large proportion Of which has been
furnished by Kentucky plantations.
1t is said that Italy has lost heavily
by reason of these lawless acts and
will make demands for redress.
If such acts should become preva-
lent regarding trust-affected goods,
dire results will necessarily follow.
The deplorable condition of affairs
that existed in Colorado, few years
ago, have been eclipsed. Such anar-
chistic proceedings are not to he toll
Grated in a civilized country, else
government will come to an end and
society will have resolved into its
constituent elements with the lawless
forces in control.

THE LOUISE" BEATS THE METH.
ERsOLE. The latest stage-kiss is
called the Louise" Like many
other good things it comes from sun
ny France. 1t was brought over by
Mary Garden and Charles DalmOres.
1t is on just twenty-five seconds, by
the watch. Itcomes in the third act,
and like the stair-scene in SaphO, r"
is timed at precisely at 1920, to allow
busy men to witness the professional
climax without wait or loss of time.
1t keeps the audience so long in sus-
pended animation, however, holding
the breath in sympathy with this
eliminating act of the master-passion
that some, it is said. have to be resus-
citated by q vigorous punch to bring
their wandering souls back to Earth.
AS yet it is the rage of the sight
seer, and is thought to be altogether
too strenuous for homeopathic use.

ANOTHER OBJECT-LEssON.-It re-
quires an occasional Irroquois disas-
ter-like that of several years ago;
or that of the Roades Opera-house, at
Boyerton, Pa, this week, wherein
$50 people lost their lives, not direct
ly from fire, but the panic which en-
sued when it was found that means
of exit were wholly inadequate-to
enforce the demand for fire-escapes
made by our city authorities i'm
mediately after the Shelton fire,
wherein nearly score of human
lives were lost. The plain require
ments of law were met with open
defiance, and the ardor of the city
officials abated as the sentiment
of the people assumed its normal con-
ditiOn. Chief among these menaces
to human life was Olympia theater'
whose so-called fire-escapes are in
deed decisions and snares in promot-
ing a confidence that is not justified
by conditions or probable circumstan-
ces. Let anybody try to run down
those long, steep, narrow steps, even
without the stimulus of panic at his
back and carefully avoiding all re H.
ance upon that other delusion, the in
secure hand-rail, and it would at once
be seen what might happen in wild
rush from the balcony. and still worse
one from the gallery. That many real
ize the danger, is shown by their per-
sistent refusal to attend any perfor-
nance in that house. They feel that
the Irroquois or the more recent hor-
ror may be enacted any time fire
might get q start in the building.
That it has not happened, under the
inadequate management, is rare
indication of good luck.

ANOTHER Ward McAllister has APP
pcared, and this rigorous censor Of
the blue-blood aristocracy halls from
Detroit, Mich, and Henry B. Led
yard is his name. Hitherto the
Smart Set of that city had numbered
an even thousand, which, it must be
admitted, was fearfully out of proper
ton with New York's 400, reduced
at Prince Henry's ball to barely %,
by Mrs. Astor. Ledyard is certainly
conservative, for he has cut down
the We're de Veres of the smaller city
to barely 200. 1t was done as chair
man of the committee on invitations
to the Assembly ball, the opening
function of the New Year, when he
blue-penciled it to one-fifth its hither-
to stalwart proportions. 1t is admit
ted that the 500 who received their
congo wear evening dress and ride in
automobiles, but their hands bear the
tar-marks of trade or their brains are
jumbled with the figures of ledger
and vault accounts, and they have
been classified as "butters-in," or as
Ledyard calls them, "rich parva-
nues," (upstarts.) There is weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth in
Detroit, just now.
