sary to transfer to reach his destina-
tion the company could if it desired
collect two fares.
Fourth. This ordinance does not
carry any penalty for carelessness or
negligence on the part of it's employees
or for exceeding the speed limit set
out in the ordinance. Neither does 1t
require the company to- file a bond ia
cover any damages that might be col
lected from the, city through said negli-
gence or violation of other require
ments of the ordinance.
Fifth. Paragraph of this ordi-
nance provides that the mayor may
grant to the company the permission to
haul freight cars through the city in
the day time, l believe that this pro-
vision should be stricken out. One
man should not have the power to
grant these privileges. If conditions
should exist that the city would be
benefited to such an extent that the
hauling of freight cars through he
streets during the day time would be
justifiable, then it would be time
enough for the city council to amend
the, ordinance to meet these emergen-
cieS
Three franchises.
I'm this ordinance you are granting
three distinct franchises and are only
receiving payment for one. The light
franchise which you are practically
giving away carries no restriction upon
the grantees whatever except which
might come under what is commonly
called police regulations of the city.
The city of Walla Walla is now re-
ceiving from the present company OPP
Grating lighting plants in the city the
sum of $12,5O0 for privileges granted.
and this company is bound by certain
restrictions which 1 do not believe are
strong enough.
Il want to be understood distinctly
as favoring and giving the proper en-
enlargement to foreign capital to come
to our city and county and build light
ing plants, interurban and street rail-
way systems. 1 believe that it is only a
matter of a very little time until there
will be net work of interurban lines
throughout this country Therefore we
should take the necessary precautions
when granting franchises that they are
so worded that the holders of any priv
ilege we may grant will not be placed
in a position where they can exclude
the possibility of other lines entering
our city"

Speaker Cannon's policy, and because
of his alleged neglect of the district, his

congress which he said were enormous
and out of proportion to the demands
of the situation. He said Taft admitted
that the majority of trusts had arisen
the last ten years. during republic
can administrations and under republi-
can control.
He continued: 1T may have been
coincidence but the presidents crusade
against predatory wealth burst upon
the people at time when their at
tention was focused upon the corrupt
relations between the party and the
moneyed interests. 1t is not too much
to say that the highest duty of the hour
is TO make continuance of these rela-
tinns imnossible."

Corn Stalk Sixteen Feet High.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Sept. 16-Al-
though this season of the year always
brings forth numerous "tallest corn"
stories, many of which are imaginative,
Webster city has on exhibition a corn
stalk which is by actual and veracious
measurement 16 feet and threeI inches
in length. This remarkable stalk is on
exhibition at a local bank, and in the
field from which it was cut there are
many other stalks nearly as high. The
highest ear on the stalk is nine feet
and seven inches above the ground,
and only a giant could husk it without
using a stepladder. Practically the
entire field will have to be cut before
the corn can be husked, as most of the
ears are at too great a height to be
reached by the ordinary man.

Mayor VefOeS Franchise
Objections to the Measure

As predicted in The Statesman last
week, Mayor Eugene Tausick last night
vetoed the Washington Oregon fran
cnlse ordinance. No effort was made to
pass the franchise over the MAYORS
veto, as members of the council appar-
emily all recognized the plausibility of
the chief executives objections and
the message was merely placed on
file.
But few spectators were present at
last nights meeting, and but two of
them were interested in the passage
of the ordinance. However. no argu-
ments were presented and after the
meeting one of the interested capital
lists said that all they could do at the
present time was to inform their agent,
G. W. Jones ~ the councils action.
The Mayors Veto.
Following is the, veto message of
Mayor Tausick presented last night:
Il herewith return to you Ordinance
No. 1857 unsigned for the following
reasons, with many others that 1 will
not mention at this time:
First. This ordinance grants a
blanket franchise over every street in
the city with the exception of two. The
Washington & Oregon Traction COM
pany could, if it so desired, build one
mile of track and operate the same in
the cheapest possible manner or even
arrange with the present company to
operate it for them. This is practically
the only thing that you require to be
done to hold a franchise over practical
ly every street in the city of Walla
Walla for a period of 25 years 1 be-
lleye that all streets upon which tracks
have not been laid and the road ope-
rated within a reasonable length of
time should worl, a forfeiture of the
franchise and rights granted thereun-
der should revert to the city.
Second. This franchise also car
ries the privilege to erect two paral-
lei tracks on any street in the city.
The present company now has one
track laid on several streets with
privilege granted to lay one more if de-
sired. This would mean under this or
dinance four parallel tracks could be
laid on certain streets whenever the
company saw fit to do so. l do not be-
lieve that this is right, nor that it was
your intention that such a possibility
should be allowable.
Third. This ordinance provides
that the fare shall be five cents for
carrying a passenger in a direct or
continuous direction within the limits
of the city. 1 take this paragraph to

Hanging clouds with a slight driz-
zling rain did not seem to perturb the
countenance of Col. William F. Cody,
Buffalo Bill and as he stood at the
entrance of his apartment tepee this
morning he seemed to take as much
interest in everything as the spectators
took in the erection OF the tents. More
than one hundred redskins patrOlled
the show grounds near the gas works.
But that was not all, for men of every
hue of countenance were there dressed
in the respective garb, or makeup, If

AS if by some sixth sense scores
found their way to Cody's tent and
there they bothered him with accounts
of when they first saw him.

favorite question and more often the
old scout answered in the negative,
giving some excuse for not being able
to remember every face that had
beamed upon him.
'sWhy. Mister Cody" was the first
words of the gray-haired woman wao
had seen him years ago on the stage,
and 'eHullo Bill was the greeting OF
the bald headed man. They were an

he had left Cody. He is SEEM con-
tinued the voice, "by fully twenty
thousand persons a day and will be

Answering a question of reporter
from The Statesman as to how he kept
so fresh, Cody said:
Its just hard work and not thinking
at all of the years as they pass by.
