APPLIES SCREWS

BISHOP (Cal.), May 25.-En-
.trenched behind a sliding schedule of
lighting rates. of which few con
sumers in Bishop are able to avail
themselves of promised benefits, the
Bishop Light and Power company, an
offspring of the observation-disclosures
Power company, has made good its
promise to the local people to give
them a new rate. These new rates
take effect June /, and small o n
sumers who have been paying 10
cents per kilo watt hour. will now
be given the privilege of paying 1e
cents for the same service.
A very material reduction, how
ever, was made in the rates of large
consumers, and anyone using owe
500 kilo watts per month, will have
this furnished at 9 cents. Unfort-
unatelys there is no one in Bishop
that uses 500 kilo watts of energy
a month, so this fine rate will bene-
fit no one
Instead, however, the company
has introduced the meter rent and
meter deposit habit which light cor
porations use the country over, to
cough the poor people, and extract
a few more dollars to fatten their
corporate purses.
Under the old management the
monthly profits of the Bishop Light
and Power company were about
$500. Sometimes they fell below
this, and some months they ran
higher, but $500 net profit a month,
amounting to $4,000 a year, means

ident and general counsel, left Tues
day for Wonder, where they will
spend several days looking over the
Nevada Wonder property, in which
both gentlemen are interested and
then return to Philadelphia.

stated that in the future he would
make from three to four trips a year

seven days real vacation and it is
my intention to combine pleasure
with business on my next visit. Both
Mr.. Whiteman and myself during our
stay here made a thorough examina-
tion of the mines in addition to at
tending to other affairs and conse-
quently were kept busy.
while in Wonder we will probab-
ly make arrangements for the cree
tion of a mill on the Nevada Won
der property. Bids have already been
advertised for and the construction
should start in the near future"

The usual shipments were made
from the Midway during the week.
In the workings of the mine every
thing has been progressing favorab-
ly and the usual amount of Develop
ment work has been under way. On
the lower level the main drift is be-
ing extended but the long sought
for body of ore that was thought
would be encountered, has as yet not
been cut. Stringers are encountered,
but the work of prospecting them
will be conducted at a latter date.

form a demand for Taft's in
come-tax amendment in the Con-
stitution makes it one of the
little ironies of politics.
"We favor an income-tax, ;"
said the Democrats, "as a part
of our revenue system, and we
urge the adoption of a constitu-
tional amendment specifically
authorizing congress to levy and
collect a tax upon individual
and corporate incomes, to the
end that wealth may bear it's
proportionate share of the bur-
dens OF the federal government. !"
At that time Mr.. Taft was
quite sure thatno constitutional
amendment was needed. Be-
tween that time and the time
when the Progressives and DEM
Focrats had mustered a majority
of the Senate, however, there
was ample time for an open mind
to see reasons for change. But
from purely partisan stand
point, is it any more humilia-
ting for a proud party to adopt
Democratic planks, then to pass
good laws by Democratic votes?

The Ironies of Politics

1t was suggested that the
President join forces with Aldrich

in order that the Republican
party might be spared the hui

The Land Craze

Many people from all parts OF
the country are rushing to Spo-
kane and other points in the
northern part of the state to reg
lister in the land lottery draw
ing that will soon take place.
1t is the aim of the government
to give all an equal and fair
show in the maner of acquiring
land that is being thrown open
for settlement. This is all right
as far as it goes, but the MAORI
ty of those who flock to these
land drawings do not intend to
comply with the spirit of the law
ii they are successful in drawing a
lucky number. Stop and consid-
er how many of those from your
own locality who have registered
in the present drawing have
done so with the idea of making
home on the land that they
will be entitled to file upon ifsuc-
cessful in the drawing. In SO
cases out of 100 they are taking
these chances asa gambling spec
ulation, and with a view Of
selling out" as soon as they
possibly can after acquiring
title.
There are a deserving few who
register that fully intend, if sue
cessful, to comply with the law
and to thus provide a home for
themselves and families. In the
present case there can only be
5000 homes located, and it is
reported that the number who
will register will be upwards 81
100000, or one chance in 10C
to get a lucky number. If some
system could be adopted where.
by only those who really intend
to make homes on the land
would be permitted to register.
the deserving ones would have
a much better chance to get a
home and thereby comply with
the real intent of the govern,
ment. As it is, it gives the spec.
ulator an excellent opportunity
to benefit at the expense OF those
who will afterward purchase the
lands and improve them.

Making Public Opinion Against
Tariff Revision

The following article is taken
from La Follett's magazine of
the 10th inst. and shows the eff
fort being made by those who
profit by a high protective tariff
to mould public opinion in favor
of their scheme to keep a high
tariff in force.
One of the best known news bu-
reaus is operated in Washington
by William Wolf Smith who has
his offices in the Munsey Building
and employs number of stenogra-
pliers and so called reporters"
Smith is frequently seen at the New
Willard Hotel and at the Capitol.
Very few Of the leading daily papers
can afford the expense of a special
correspondent in Washington and
most of them readily publish as
news, letters purporting to come
from the direct representative of
the paper but which really eman-
ate from come hired bureau. There
appeared such an article in some of
the papers of the northwest ia Jan
uary, 1909 1t was adroitly and ably
written to form public opinion in
favor of high tariff. 1t stated that
the annual disbursements greatly
exceeded the income of the national
government, that President Roose
welt had believed he was right in
advocating large appropriations,
that if the tariff were lowered a
large bond issue would be necessary,
that the Standard Oil Company's
National City Bank favored such
bond issue, that, "Speaker Cannon
has stood constantly for more care
in spending money and it must be
said that he is coming into a need
Of approval and appreciation which
decidedly contrasts with the pub
Ilic attitude toward him as dis
played during the late campaign.
The speaker and his followers are
determined to do some pairing this
session, but they have no idea that
they can cut expenses enough to
overcome the deficit"
In this column and a half of
news" are found and appeal to
partisanship and to the popular
prejudice against the Standard Oil
Company, plausible argument for
economy, a covert attack on Pres
ident Roosevelt and a laudation of
Speaker Cannon. 1t was skillfully
contrived to have the reader draw
the inevitable conclusion that the
tariff must not be reduced; and this
conclusion, nowhere clearly stated,
was the sole object of the article.

Why is it that when you in
quire how Senator Borah voted

Should The Rich Escape Texes7
(From Speech of Senator W. E.
Borah, May "a, 1909

81 do not believe that the great
trainers of the Constitution, the
men who were framing Govern
ment for the people, of the people,
and by the people, intend that all
taxes of the Government should be
placed upon the backs of those who
toll, upon consumption, while the
accumulated wealth Of the Nation
should stand exempt, even in an
exigency which might involve the
very life of the Nation itself"

How Animals Learn.

DR.. r. Zell. German naturalist, has
collected many instances to prove that
animals learn by experience and thus
become wiser than their uninstructed
parents. Game animals Of all kinds,
he AYERS, have learned the range OF
modern rifles. Greyhounds quickly
learn to let rabbits alone, and fox
hounds pay no attention to either rab-
bits or hares. Killer whales and gulls
follow whaling vessels, just as vul.
lures follow an army. Crows begin to
accompany the chamois hunter as
soon as they have seen the result OF
his first successful shot, and rough
legged buzzards follow the sportsman
after winged game. The number Of
birds that kill or injure themselves
by flying against telegraph wires is
much smaller than it used to be. DR..
Zell also refers to the fact that
birds and quadrupeds have learned to
disregard passing railway trains. as
horses quickly cease to be frightened
by automobiles. His instances of the
intelligent election exercised by sheep
dogs are familiar to all.

NEW GAME BIRDS.

1t is quite probable that some &C
ton will be taken by the board OF
fish and game control at their COM
ing meeting, toward putting in some
new game birds in the state, provid-
ed they have surplus of funds.
The plan now on FOOT is to turn loose
In some parts of North Dakota num-
Der Of ring necked pheasants and
Hungarian cartridges, and in this
way stock some Of the wooded dis
tricts with game. The pheasants and
cartridges would be let loose In the
Turtle mountains and there it Is be-
lieved they will thrive wonderfully.
The board also recognizes the fact
that the prairie chicken crop in North
Dakota is getting woefully small and
may make some recommendation tor
a closed season for a period of years.
The hunters in general naturally o1-
pose such a movement, but most of
them are ready to admit that few
years more will make such action
imperative and that time can be saw
by acting early.
