BILL OF ABONINATONS.

This country now has the most
ubiquitous tariff bill ever enacted
by any congress. of the, United
States. 1t may well be termed
the Aldrich-P Payne annon-Taft
bill OF denominations, being more
odious than the Infamous Ding
Agy Law which both parties were
pledged to modify in the interests
Of the people. The trusts, how
eve. have succeeded in getting
whzt they wanted.
OF their representative, Sena-
tor Aldrich it may be said that
Inc handled their, case to perfec-
ton and is fully entitled to every
ding they promised him when
he consented to look after their
uartof the scheme. Briefly told,
the bill as finally agreed upon
was made to order for the mono
roIistic interests and the masses
of the country have been left out
of the calculation altogether.
Speaker Cannon, whom the
interests" had elected for the
purpose, engineered the measure
through the House and there
never was a time, during the
session, that Senator Aldrich
could not have mustered enough
votes to put it through the Sen
ate
One of the noticeable features
of the controversy was the col
fusion of the Taft, Cannon and
AIdrich forces. Not a few peo-
pIe believed that Mr.. Taft was
sincere in his declarations for
tariff revision downward last
year and those who then con-
fded in him were naturally
shocked when he recently sur
rendered completely to Cannon
and Aldrich. And while a num-
Der of republican representatives
protested against the passage OF
the bill, and called attention to
the speeches of Mr.. Taft during
the campaign, the remarkable
performance continued until the
deed was done.
The insurgent republicans and
democrats were. not in the game
a little bit, with division among
themselves and a trio of trust
representatives, aided by the
president, to contend with. They
did manage to get a one per cent.
Corporation income tax, and sub
mission Of an income tax consti-
tutional amendment to the
States, but little opposition de-
veloped to either Of these propo-
sitions. The democrats were
powerless to pass a bill of any
description and entire RESPONSE
bility for the enactment of the
unjust and exceedingly extorion-
ate production finally enacted
must rest upon President Taft
and his party, whose campaign
pledges have been utterly disre-
garded.
Southern interests have Jared
badly in the making of this new
tariff law, excepting the few
trusts which happen to exist in
this part of the country. So
New England gets the milk and
North Carolina will have to join
m with other Southern States
and furnish nice green pasture
for the COW. Fine business,
isn't it?

UMAT|LLA JUDGE
ACCUSED OF FRAUD
CIRCUIT JUDGE BEAN, OF ORE
CON DISTRICT, SAID TO HAVE
MIXED IN LAND FRAUDS.
AIIeued Boous Contract Was Duly
Signed, Sealed and Re-
corded.

PENDLETON, Ore, March 3.-Cir-
cult Judge H. ]. Bean, of the district
comprising Umatilla and Morrow coun-
ties. is the latest prominent resident OF
this part of the county to be charged
with fraud in connection with the Sc
curing of government land. The ale
cations are being brought out in con-
test hearing here, which the govern
ment has instituted against Judge
Bean and a number of other residents
Of this county.
1t is alleged in the complaint filed by
the governments attorney that Judge
Bean knowingly and fraudulently used
a void contract for water in making
final proof upon a desert land claim of
16O acres near Echo. The land was
taken under the Carey act and there
fore it was necessary for him to show
that he had a contract through which
it was possible for him to get the
water.
Attorney j. T. Hinkle, president OF
the Hinkle Ditch company, which has
since been absorbed by the Western
Land & Development company, is the
chief witness for the government.
Hinkle admits they had made ar
rangements to supply Bean with water
for his land. He also says the contract
was written out and submitted to the
judge for his approval and signature.
He declares, however, that Bean kepl
the contract for nearly a year without
the company decided it did not wish
to furnish him with the water and
asked him to return the contract, which
he did Then according to Hinkle,
( Judge Bean took a copy of the con-
tract, signed it, placed it on record
without consulting the ditch company,
proceeded to use it as a valid contract
and thereby made final proof on his
land.
On cross examination, however,
Hinkle was forced to admit that his
| signature, as president, and that Of the
secretary of the company, as we'll as
the companys seal, on the alleged bo-
gus contract were genuine, though the
/ body of the. contract was indeed car
bon copy. 1t was also brought out that
Judge Bean had turned over to the
company about a mile of ditch and the
sum of $1,000 while the contract in
question was the only thing he had re-
ceived in exchange, while even this the
ditch company was seeking to repu-
diate.
Originally the land in question was
/ considered practically worthless, but
since it is now capable of being re-

viding that the authority of creating
new national forests in California shall
be taken from the president and put
