FORBENEFlT OF INLAND

comnIetlon of Panama Canal Will Create Conditions Furnishing Land Carriers an Incentive to Build Up New Jobblng Points.

If the Chicago correspondent of the Los Angeles Times can read the future correctly, there is great day coming for the inner coast states and territories and middle west distributing points, and that very soon. The Times publishes the following special dispatch from it's correspondent in the issue of May 13:
 "The most radical change in the history of western railroads in the method of rate-making will soon be made, if plan prepared by the transcontinental railroads should be approved by the Interstate Com merce Commission.
 "A committee of traffic executive officials of western roads Is in Washington, and will appear be. fore the commission tomorrow and present to that body comprehen- sive plan for reduction in rates from the middle west to the in- terior Pacific coast points in line with the decision of the commis- sion in the Spokane rate case.
 "The committee is headed by J. c. Stubbs traffic director for the Hartman lines, and the proposed reductions are from 25 to 50per cent This plan was worked out by the Hill and Hartman lines, and ap- proved by the other railroads which are interested in less de gree than these roads. If the plan goes through, it will be severe blow to the Pacific coast cities, will increase the business of the middle west in the intermediate points and will result in building up job ping centers at Salt Lake, Denver Reno and other inland points.
 Tt is understood that the sche dule of rates in some respects, goeI even further than the commission went in the Spokane rate decision for it is the purpose to accord tc the inland points the rates whicf apply to the Pacific coast on al the commodities on which there i not severe competition by th water routes from the seaboard.
 "The Pacific coast cities hay been able, by reason of water com petition, to do big jobbing busi ness far into the interior, and tn new adjustment, while it does no deprive them altogether of tn benefits they have derived iron water competition, will greatl restrict their jobbing territory"
 The meaning of the above, in

The Tucson Star of Wednesday presented the following interesting article with regard to the proposed construction of short line of rail- way between Tucson and Nogales, distance of about eighty miles, of which nearly one-half is already completed and in operation, viz: From Tucson southward, (the Twin Buttes railway) some thirty miles, to Sahuarito, and the line from Nogales to Benson-as far as Calabasas.
 The ways and means committee, appointed by George Kilt, presi- dent of the Tucson chamber of commerce, having for it's purpose the financing of the bonus to be offered by the citizens of Tucson for the early building of the cutoff line between Tucson and Nogales, are at present resting on their oars, awaiting reply from E. H. Harri- man, of the Southern Pacific com pany, to whom the proposition, which was submitted to MT. Ran dolph by the ways and means com mittee, has been referred.
 It is stated by number of the committee that Mir. Randolph has endorsed the proposition and for warded it to Mir. Hartman, which, in the opinion of the Star, will in sure the approval of the president of the s. P. company, and just as soon as the details can be arranged, work will be started on the new line which will make Tucson the metropolis of the west coast.
 Theproposition finally submitted means that the Southern Pacific, il they take up the work of building the cutoff line, will own and operate the railroad. Any idea of the Twir Buttes company building the line or operating it, under traffic ar rangement with the s. P. company has been abandoned, according t( the best information. This turn O affairs will be pleasing to Tucsor citizens, and when 1t comes to rais ing money as bonus, the com
 mittee will find that Tucson citi
 zens will be more inclined to assis
 under this arrangement than thu
 one first proposed. No doubt, il

 Company, but the matter has hard

 To any one who has glanced a } the map showing the extension o the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pa <, cific railroad down the west coas 3 of Mexico, it is apparent at , glance that the building of the cut r off line between Tucson and NogG l les is a necessity from an econom ] cal railroad standpoint, It is a 3 most a bee line from Tucson to Nc n gales, and with the rapid develop e ment of the rich west coast cour F try, the time is not far distar r when the line will be built.

JUDGE SUBSTITUTES
NAME IN FOOD SUIT

Following an error in instituting
proceedings under the labelling clause
of the pure food law against Pom
Deian Virgin Olive oil" instead of
against Carmel Salad OIL manufac-
tured by the same company, Justice
Anderson today, on motion of the Dis
trict Attorney, signed an order sub
stttuting the latter named compound
in the complaint.
The quality of the Carmel oil is not
objected to by the Government ex-
perts, but it is contended that IT is
not labeled upon the outside boxes
in accordance with the law. The Dis
trict Attorney explains that there is
no fault found with the labelling Of
the bottles themselves. District At
torney Baker explained the substitu-
ton of Eames as being necessary in
order that the public might not mis-
understand the proceedings.

NOTES OF THE LEGISLATURE

Salem-Govenor Chamberlain sent
to the legislature Tuesday morning a
special message advising immediate
enactment of an emergency tax law
to take the place of the act declared
unconstitutional. In speaking Of the
matter the governor said that In his
opinion 1t would be necessary for
the legislature to frame and pass a
bill either making levy or author
izing the state board of apportion-
ment to make a levy for the year
1909.
1t is evident from this that Multi
nomah, Columbia, Tillamook, Doug
las, Jackson, Josepbtas, Clackamas,
Coos and Wallowa must pay the
greatly increased tax which will be
apportioned under the uniform levy
based upon assessed valuations. The
burden will fall upon the counties as
whole, for the state tax is a debt
from the county to the state.
Bills creating fully 200 new Jobs,
many of them on fat pay, have been
introduced in the legislature, load
ing up taxpayers with more than 81 :
100000 salaries and expenses for
the ensuing two years.
With II dissenting votes, members
Of the Clackamas county delegation
in the house succeeded Tuesday In
having passed their bill providing
for an eight-hour workday In all

tile and other establishments operat-

Portland-Another step in the
fight of the federal government to
recover possession of the land in
cluded in the immense grant to the
Oregon & California Railroad Com
pany was taken Saturday when B.
d. Townsend, special assistant to the
Encouragement, filed in the Federal
court in Portland 35 suits in equity
against the Oregon & California and
Southern Pacific Companies and over
100 other defendants.
These suits are supplementary to
those previously filed against the
Hartman companies and are for the
purpose of recovering land included
In the grant and already sold by the
railroads, or, where title to the land
cannot be regained, of securing for
the government all monies paid for
the land in excess Of $3.50 an acre,
the price at which it was stipulated
in the original grant the land would
be sold. Besides the railroads, the
defendants in the suits are those who
have purchased land from these com
panies. The suits involve more than
$15,000,000 and also more than
353,288 acres of land. All of the
land is located in Oregon.

Mr.. Wright states that he will
make full payment to the city when
the first dividend is paid. The coun-
ty treasurer, sheriff and city treas
urer have total Of $4,000 to repay
because of the bank failure. This
requirement will leave County Treas
