San Francisco, Calf, Feb. ga
That members of the California legis-
lature are daily consuming gallons
OF liquor furnished within the capitol
building by enemies of local option
and in doing so are violating the laws
prohibiting intoxlcants being sold or
given away on the capitol grounds is
the startling declaration made today
by Rev. ID. NJ. Gandier, of Los Ange-
les, representing the anti-saloon
league in its fight for the passage Of
local option bills.
For weeks, or ever since the legis-
lature has been in session, buffets
where beer and whiskey was given
away has been conducted at the cap
itol. Behind curtains in the office
Of the eargeants-at-arms of the as
sembly, and senate, side boards are
maintained. 1t was generally sup
posed the seTgeants-atarms were Civ
ing away drinks in return for their
jobs.
The hiiarlty of certain members al
ong In the afternoon of certain days
supports the estimate that between
25 and 30 dollars worth of liquor is
consumed daily.

chy. president Ripley of the Santa Fe
railway has declared that the future
conditions of business generally de-
pend largely upon the attitude Of
Taft. He said the boom following
Tafts election has died and the
country is in a waiting mood, to see
what the coming administration will
do"
Ripley said: "The country wants
to know what is to be done with the
tariff; wants to see whether the
country is to be ruled by autocrats,
or is to be republic.
There are two extreme parties
now. one composed of the admins
tration and its friends and one which
desires pure democracy in control,
This government was organized as a
republic. As a result these two par
ties are pulling in different direc-

Chicago, Feb. 23.-In the United
States district court, Judge A. B. An

the rebate case against the Standard
Oil company of Indiana was COM
menced today. Great popular interest
was manifested in the trial and the
court room was crowded.
At the first trial before Judge Lam
dis, the oil trust was convicted on
1862 counts and fined $4,000, 900,
the largest fine ever imposed by any
court. This was reversed by the ap-
pelate court, and on January 4 last
the United States suprece court dis
missed the governments appeal for
review.
The case will now be retired. and
the first guns in the imposing legal
battle were fired shortly after Judge
Anderson called the court to order
this morning. 1t is not likely that
John D. Rockefeller will be called
upon to testify at this trial.

John D. Rockefeller spoke whereof
he knew when he declared the morn
ing after Judge lands imposed SEN
tence that Judge Lands will be
long time dead before that fine is
paid" 1t was the desire to have the
fine upheld that prompted the gov

preme court review.
The case is the most famous of all
he recent antitrust legislation. It'll

81 consider that the action OF the
Legislature in killing the normal
schools was the most serious blow OuI
system OF education has ever reoeiv-
ed" declares Senator c. J. Smith,
who reached home last evening.
THE normal schools have been
grossly slandered. 1t has been oharg-
ed that they were a graft and were
unduly expensive. 1t has been claim
ed that it has cost $1,000 per year to
educate a normal student But there
are 500 normal school students in the
state and all three schools combined
asked but $l56.000 for maintenance
for two years. They finally agreed
to accept $4,000. Computing this
you will see that It means an expense
OF but SIS per annum per student.
Cheaper Than Varsity.
"In debate upon the floor of the
senate, / showed that the per capita
expense OF educating normal school
students Is less than that for univer-
sity students, Considering roughly
the matter OF salaries and equipment.
the expense for normal school stu
dents amounts to about 500 per year,
while at the university the cost is
about $3.50. When / presented these
facts upon the floor of the senate
they were not disputed. In the Pen
dleton high school the annual cost
per student is $40"
by action OF the legislature this
state has done away with normal ed
ucation. We Will now have to have
our teachers educated in other states
This not practicable because OF the
greater expense and because when
other states they are forced to give
pledges that they will teach in that
state for number of years
Limited normal instruction may be
given in our high schools. But the
high schools can never take the place
of normal schools.
"Not only dld the legislature stop
normal education within the state.
but II took a means of education away
from n class that is not reached by
either the university or the agricul-
tural college. owing to the expense
OF travel and the distance from homes
many are unable to attend those large
schools. but they were able 10 attend
the normal schools which were con-
voniently located.
"The opposition to the normal
schools grew largely out of the pes
sim'stic attitude taken by the Orego-
nian. But we would have saved the
eastern Oregon normal had the east
ern Oregon delegation stood together
We won out on every issue where the
eastern Oregon men were united. The
fact that the delegation from this
county was divided hurt our chances"
Oucrwsc Wen Pleased.
Leaving out of the consideration
the defeat of the normal schools, Sen
ator Smith is well pleased with the
way eastern oregon was treated by
the legislature. The passage OF the
experiment station and portage road
appropriations, of the coyote bounty
law. the water code, the artesian well
law and other measures he regards as
of the greatest importance to east
crn Oregon. In the house the arte-
sian well bill was passed with but
three votes opposing. one Of these
was cast by Representative Mann.
Praise FOR Barrett.
