PRICES of Steel.

New York, April 9.-There will he
no reduction in prices of steel commo-
dities, according to a ststement issued
today by E. b. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation. "The
mere fact that the demand is greater
than the supply" says Gary, "does
not justify an increase in price. Nor
does the fact that the demand is less
han the supply furnish an argument
for lowering The price" Mr.. Gary be-
lieves that the manufacturers and pur-
chssers IS rule desire stability OF
prices and the avoidance of violent huc-
tuatiOus.

ANII.RACE TRACK BILLS DE-
FEAIED.

The vote of Senator Oven Cassidy, OF
Schuyler, republican, late yesterday
caused tie vote Of % to % 10 the New
York Senate and defeated for The time
at less. the two Agnew-Hart bills. en-
bodyiOg The recommendation of Cover
nor Hughes that the legal protection be
abolished which since 1885 has pro.
tected public gambling at racetrscks,
whereas 1t is felony elsewhere in the
State.
Lieutenant Governor Chsnler, 10 the
chair, by casting his vote to break the
tie upon parliamentary motion which,
but for him, would have resulted 10 Hill
ing the bills for the rest of the session,
saved them for another vote, at the dis
cretion of their introducer, Senator Ag-
new, at any time when the order of bust
ness parmils him to call up the mater.
The Importance Of this bit of subsidiary
procedure may prove to be very great,
and If by any means the friends of the
bills can gain a vote from the opposition,
and at the same time hold the rs they
had yesterday. they might yet pass the
bills and send them to The governor.
Governor Hughes msde no secret of
his disappointment over the result OF
the struggle. He would not intimate
what measures he would adopt in the
premises, but that he regards the matter
rs far from settled he made clear by the
following statement issued from the ex-
eeutive chsmber last night.
at Is impossible to believe that the
people will permit the plain mandate of
The constitution to be Ignored. The con-
test has not ended. 1t hiss only bfgun
L. will continue until the will Of the
people has been obeyed."

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-02-21

copy Of the articles of INCORPORATION
and sworn statements as to the SUBJ
scribed and paid up capital Of the
company and list of directors. 1 am
also taking up the matter with the
war department. l do not know that
you are advised that another company
has permit issued by the war depart
ment under date of October 10, 1907,
to operate a dam between Dean and
Gray islands and the north bank by
means of a wing dam which extends
up to the foot of Five Mile rapids. This
kind of diversion does not interfere
with navigation and there is, on the
face of things, no reason why this other
company cannot operate through a
wing dam.
Il am giving this matter very close
and careful attention with the war de-
partment and 1 am not inclined to
make any captious opposition but you
must remember that the maintenance
charge for attendance at these locks
will be an item of continuous eXpendi-
ture throughout the entire year and
we are legislating in this matter for
an indefinite number of years.
1.-THE irrigation proposition, as you
know, under the original plan. will at
the end of a comparatively short pc
Rod turn over it's scheme to the water
users association and the water users
association is not a corporation and
there is no financial responsibility be-
hind it. The corporation building the
dam would then neglect any response
bility that it might have in connec-
ton with maintaining the locks and
keeping watchmen and attendants
there You know it would take more
than one man to operate the locks and
the yearly expenditure would be per-
lhaps two thousand dollars This, after
! period of so years, the probable life
of the corporation, would amount to
| hundred thousand dollars for attend
ants.
1.-The government has any number
of dams and have some knowledge OF
their maintenance but when the gov
ternment is doing it there is no element
of uncertainty about it. I would gladly
see the government put number OF
dams in the Snake river that would
back water deep enough to pass any
vessels that would run on the r1Ver'
because I know the government under
the ordinary course Of its administra-
ltion would provide for the care OF the
locks"

INSURANCE COMPANIES
RESTORED CONFIDENCE,
M. r. Fleming, of Seattle, Declares They
Loaned $100,O00,000 to Policy
holders During Panic.


TACOMA, Feb. 21.-That insurance
companies of the United States have
done more to support the financial
confidence of this country and restore
business since the recent financial
panic than any other single agency is
the belief of NJ. r. Flemming, lead
ing Seattle insurance man, who has
been here on business. ;.
Few people know said Flemming,
"that Immediately after the big bank
ing failures in the east a single insur-
ance company loaned out more than
81 600. 600 a week for a month to it's
policy-holders who had been seriously
affected by the financial furry.
at is estimated that the total amount
of money loaned by all the insurance
companies during the past three
months to policyholders amounts to
more than 500, 100000. When 1 hear
people giving Hiil( Rockefeller and
others credit for coming to the rescue
of the nation, 1 cannot refrain from
saving that the insurance companies
have done many times what the big
financiers accomplished in preserving
the credit and business confidence Of
the United States"
