Chinese AIIege Discrimination

AS a result of the present contro-
versy concerning legislation affecting
the Japanese and growing out of the
furore the proposed action of the Cali
fornia legislature has aroused, Presi-
dent Roosevelt is to be confronted to-
day with a memorial from the Chinese
asked to explain what the Chinese be-
lieve is pronounced leaning on his
part toward the Japanese, while the
rights of the Chinese here in matters
identical with the ones now UP for
decision are, the dispatch states, dis
regarded.

~ ITTSBURG, Feb. From Pitts
Dburg railroad and financial cir
cles the news has crept forth that
George ]. Gould has decided to
quit the railroad business entirely
just as soon as he can get out;
that this was part Of the promise
he made to E. H. Hartman when he
importuned Hartman to come to his
assistance in the Pittsburg district.
Hartman is known>Aow to be moving
toward lifting the receiverships from
the West Side belt, the Wheeling and
Lake Erie and the Wabash Pittsburg
terminal railroads here, which have
been plunged into financial straits by
the alleged mismanagement on the part
of the Goulds.
The San Francisco call., 1909-02-08
To Take a Gould Idea

Hartman, according to the Pittsburg
information, will take UP the old Gould
idea of another transcontinental line
and will push it through, while Gould
retires.
Within the last week Hartman, not
Gould, has started the move to combine
the Baltimore and Ohio at Pittsburg
with the Wabash Pittsburg terminal
under one roof. The million dollar
Gould folly" as the Pittsburg depot Of
the Wabash is known, will be used.
It would appear that Hartman to a
certain extent is in control of the Gould
lines already, and in this connection
some rather interesting stories of how
he beat John D. Rockefeller. William

The telegram to the president is to
be lengthy one. 1t has been drawn
up by the Chinese benevolent associa-
tion of California, commonly known as
the Chinese Six Companies, and en-
braces all the abridgment of rights
under which the Chinese claim they are
suffering A comparison will be made
of the situation of the Chinese here
with the position of the Japanese, and
it will be stated that the Japanese are
favored under our laws. In conclusion
the president will be asked how 1t is he

Missouri lost in damages oc-
casioned by floods about $4,000
600 last year-more than SIS ,ooo,-
900 in excess of all they paid the
state in taxes. Governor Had
ley will not undertake to stop
the floods, as some critics claim,
but he has undertaken to teach
the people that excessive DANA
ges to lands and crops and busi-
ness can be avoided by a little
enterprise on the part Of the
state, the counties and the peo-
pie. If the $46,ooo,ooo in food
losses in the state in the past six
years can be reduced one-half in
the next ten years by such drain

The Usage River.

The Usage river formerly car
ried the crops and merchandise
of the people lin Cole. Miller,
Camden. Morgan. Henry and
Benton counties. Warsaw, in
Benton county, was the head of
navigation on that stream. 1t
was a hourishing city. Pettis
county depended on the Usage
for shipment of freight from St.
Louis. From Warsaw freight
was hauled to southwestern CT
ties, some of it as far as Spring
field. At Linn Creek, in Cam
den county, Governor McClurg
had large mercantile and iron in
terests dependent on the Usage.
The counties along the river
were largely developed by the
transportation facilities it afford
ed.
The railroads made the Usage
useless for transportation. 1t is
not now employed as highway,
yet it can be easily improved and
made a great commercial water
way. Along its banks are thuo-
sands of acres of good land, that
will be doubled and trebled in
value by its improvement. Vast
tracts of timber land, some of it
untouched by woodmen, invite
the coming of mills and factories.
Great deposits of coal and iron
and slate and mineral lie undis-
turbed along the entire course Of
this stream. Why should it not
be made serviceable? /? Whyshould
great state like Missouri be
slow to develop the riches that
may be borne on the bosom Of
such generous waterway?

Governor Hadley is not hgur-
ing on the future of Hadley, but
on the future of the state he gov
erns. While he is Republican
and wants to see his party con-
tinue in power, he proposes to
give more thought and time to
the interests of the state than to
the interests of his party or his
own political future.

There's water power enough
along the larger streams of Mis-
souri, to operate more factories
than are now operated by such
power in any other state in the
Union. This power, which
needs more enterprise than cap
ital to become exceedingly use
full. is now going to waste. 1t is
wise to develop it. It. is very
wise to call attention to it. The
policy of material development,
if faithfully pursued, will make
Missouri one of the most popu-
lous and prosperous states i'll the
Union. Let's talk more about
the riches of Missouri.
The Montgomery tribune., 1909-10-22

The latent wealth of Missouri,
developed, will yield in taxation
enough to pay for its develop
ment, as far as the state is con-
cerned, and enough to meet all
necessary additions to the gen.
eral revenue fund as the state
progresses. 1t is a good policy
tn create more taxable property
rather than to increase the bur
den of taxation on property al
ready taxed. This is only one of
many reasons why the material
resources of the state should be
developed, but it is good one.

we honestly belive that .os@oi,
w. Folk is the very best piece
of National political property

great national fight for civic

Nov, in consideration of this
promise (of the liquor interests)
to fork over $4,000 liquor tax,
what did Hadley promise?' asks
the Columbia Herald. That's an
easy question-easy enough for
the primary classes in politics.
He promised that the liquor tax
law would be enforced against
all alike, who may be engaged in
the manufacture. rectifying and
wholesaling of intoxicating liq-
uors. Only that !. and nothing

There are 100000 acres in
this state as rich as the valley

The Democratic editors of Mis-

racy of the state should try to
