Mr. LiIley stated. in reply to a question
by Mr.. Daizell, that he expected tC
prove that wrongful methods had beer
used by the Electric Boat company tC
secure legislation by influencing mem
bers of congress. He further said that
his statements were not vague ones
that they have been constantly and con
tinuously in the air for about fifteeT
years; and that he would be very glad
to indicate the particular parties as soor
as the resolution of inquiry should be-
passed and the committee named.
Congressman Questioned.
During the examination of Mr. Lilley
Speaker Cannon asked him:
DO you allege corrupt action agains;
members of the present congress-"
Il allege just what my document
says" replied Mr.. Lilley.
Mr.. Dalzell asked:
''Will you state the names of individ-
uals who have corrupted or attempted
to corrupt members of congress?"
They are using wrongful methods in
almost every members district who
served on the naval committee" replied
Mr.. Lilley.
Mr. Liliey gave the committee an il
luStration of an attempt that had been
made to induce him to vote for the sub
marines, and said:
Some Sheep With "SeabbIes."
This Electric Boat company has
been stencil in the nostrils of the
country for years, and i'm my opinion
II has done more TO corrupt Iegisla
ton than all the other corporations on
earth. l think the membership of this
house is of the very highest quality, and
that they are the best men usually in
the districts from which they come. but
with flock of three hundred and nine
ty-three here ii would be strange if
there were not some sheep in ii that
had the fOot-rot or scabbies. I think
the disease ought to be eradicated be-
lore It spreads. l have no motive OF
animus in this at all except in so far
as l would like to see the business run
on business lines. and the selection of
submarines left 10 experts and not TAX
en- from the hands of the navy depart
ment and from the experts of the
navy"
In reply to question by Mr. Dalzell.
asking him If he meant that money has
been paid to members of congress to
influence their vote, Mr.. Lilley said:
What He Will Prove.
hO MOI Cldlln Indt money has been
paid TO bride member of congress.
DO expect to prove that money has
been contributed to campaign funds.
which morally is not different from
passing a bride across the table in COM
mittee rooms when we take vote. Mo-
rally there is not a particle of differ
ence; logically there is"
Shortly after the adjournment of the
house, Chairman Boutell got his COM
mlttee together and partly organized it.
He said afterward that the organization
would be completed at a meeting TO be
held tomorrow when the question of
whether to make the committees SEES
sion public or private would be decided.
A report that Representative Lillev
was greatly incensed by the action of
Speaker Cannon in not making him a
member of the committee, and that he
had expected to be named as its chair
man. gained circulation and become a
topic of discussion after the committee
assignments had been announced. Mr..
Lilley himself refused to discuss the sit

should be employed in enforcing pay
ment of these claims.
\ similar claim was presented by a
Pueblo firm against the Missouri Pa
cifio road at the recent hearing in
Denver a month ago.
The company originally brought
suit against the railroad in the fed
eral court two years ago, but Judge
Robert f. Lewis ruled at that time
the claim should be passed upon by
the interstate commerce commission.
Two claims were then prepared and
presented to the commission, calling
for about $4,000 refund in all.
On hearing of the case it developed
that the rate charged on these ship
ments to Leadville was considerably
higher in proportion to the distance
than was charged on similar ship
ments to Salt Lake City. The shir-
ments were made over the Missouri
Pacific to Pueblo and thence to
Leadville over the Denver Il Rio
Grande.
The railroad company chose to
ignore the finding of the commits
sion and the plaintiffs brought suit
in the federal court to collect the
claim.

TIE TnEFT OF COUNTIES

Commenting on the statementbyths
, Mitchell Republican to the effect hal
1.-THE insurgents committees in both
Stanley and Mcpherson counties sim
| ply robbed the stalwarts of any pos
sibility of securing q place on the
delegation by appointing insurgent
| delegations in direct conflict with the
| primary law" the Mitchell Clarion,
In utter disregard for the truth, AYERS
that these delegations were "as fairly
elected by the committees as were
any stalwart delegations in the state"
1t is perhaps useless to argue with
a contemporary that is either so lg'
norant of the facts as is our Clarion
friend, or else so ~purposely inaccur-
ate, but it is we'll known by those
I who have personal knowledge of the
situation that there is no warrant in
law or in moral ethics for the man
ner in which the delegations from
both Stanley and Mcpherson were
chosen. The provisions of the prl'
mary law were not complied with in
either case, and no one knows this
better than 10 the managers who
| manipulated these two counties for
factional advantage.
1t is equally we'll known that it was
the original intention of the insurgent
leaders to secure control of the state
convention through the provision OF
| the law which enables the county
committees to select the delegations,
| but following the coarse work which
characterized the operation in Nc
Pherson county there was such an
| cutlery against the outrages of the
| sort that the insurgent managers
were constrained to halt for the time
being.
But as the time drew near for hold
ing the state convention it was evi-
dent that under the square deal
principle the stalwarts would assured
ly nav a clear majority of the, dele
gates, and hence it was hastily deter
mined to steal Stanley county since
the insurgents had a majority of the
local committee that could be gotten
together, and SO through this bold
theft the insurgents get the benefit
of Stanley county's nine votes in the
temporary organization of the state
convention.
Such contemporaries as our Mitch
ell friend may pirate about fairness
all they please, and they may CON
tinue to impugn the motives of those
with whom they differ, but the
fact is patent to all who have an I'm
derstanding of the "details of the
case, that the insurgents are no more
entitled to the votes of Stanley and
McPhersOn counties. to which may be
added Sully and Aurora. than ii such
delegations had beer elected by the
city council of Huron OF the board Of
trade of Pierre.

ABOUT STATE TAXES

Groton MISREPRESENTATION insur-
gent friends have gone to much eX-
pense in having tao smile plates
made of county auditor reports to
show that state taxes in 1907 were
less than in the other Legislative
years-1903 and 1905.
They give only part Of the facts.
Why leave out the Irvine plant tax
Of 1907 and leave the stalwarts charg-
ed with the bond and bond interest
tax which was twenty per cent If
the state levy of 1903? If the Irvine
plant levy is not cnargeable to the
insurgents, then why nave the bond.
interest included against the stall
warts In 1903. to which Brown coun.
ty contributed the sum OF $4,4lS.62
that year?
Why? Because a campaign based
upon falsehood and Misrepresentation
must continue to juggle the facts and
presume upon the ignorance of the
voters.
Governor Crawford's defense on the
ground that former years showed an
equal or greater tax in mills is truly
m~endacious. He knows that the val.
has more than doubled, and that a
three mill tax in 1907 brought more
money into the treasury than would
q six mill lew ten years ago. Craw-
ford knows this. but in his speech he
doesn't tell 1t all, presuming thus to
cast unjust odium IN his %predeces.
SOrS.
The fact that a four mill taAwiIl be
necessary in 1908 is another proof OF
insurgent i~nsincerity in showing the
legislative years only. Despite the
fact that the Irvine plant levy will be
cut Of the way. this years tax will be
only one-fourth mill less than that II
1907, and still be insufficient to take
care of the outstanding obligations.
Really, We don't see how anyone
al be fooled by their fake argument
but it is the best they can do.
