I tor Tillman was alleged to have in
the land cases.
The report sent to the senate IS
understood to contain an account Of
the investigation made of Senator
Tillman. It is known that the sec
ret service prepared Photographic
copies of Senator Tillman's corTe-
spondence, but whether these exhib-
its were sent to Senator Hale is not
known.
Senator Tillman was not aware of
the fact that his name figured in the
reports until late in the day He
then took painI to assure himself
that the reports concerning the men
tion of himself were we'll founded
but he refused 10 comment on the
fact further than to say that he would
not make any statement until the
fact of the use of his name had been
officially promulgated, when he
would address himself to the subject
from his seat in the senate. 1t is
known, however that Mr.. Tillman
regards the mention of his. name as
an attack upon himself by the presl-
dent, and he has indicated to friends
that he will not mince matters in
his reply. He also has declared to
those with whom he conversed that
he would welcome the opportunity to
express his views and explain the
situation.
Senator Hale probably will lay the
entire matter before the committee
on appropriation, at a meeting to
be he'd next Saturday, and in that
event it is probable that Mr.. Till
man will be heard on Monday next.
On Feb. 10, 1908, Senator Tillman
rose in the senate TO a question OF
personal privilege and said that his
attention had been called 20 a scheme
of swindling in which his name had
been used rather unpleasantly and
without the slightest warrant The
senator held in his hand circular
headed: 'How to make $4,000 out
of $780," The circular called at.
tention to- certain land grant: in
Oregon and TO the activity of Senator
Tillman in having the senate inves-
tigate them. 1t stated that "Sen-
ator Tillman takes eleven quarters
and that the law suits to be insti-
tuted in order to recover these lands
were promised to be pressed with
great vigor because Senator Tillman
was. behind them.
Commenting ON this situation, Sen.
ator Tillman at that time said: AS
matter of fact / have not bought
any lands anywhere in the West nor
undertaken to buy any. have
made some inquiries as one natural
ly would in roaming through the
West. / simply want the people of
the country to be put on notice that
this swindler at Portland has no war
rant whatever to endeavoring TO in
veigle others into his game"
Senator Tillman said further that
he had asked the postoffice depart
mont to take cogni2ance of the circu-
lar. In the debate Which followed
an order to print the circular in the
Congressional Record, II was brought
out that the name Of tie company is
swing the circular was the "St. Paul
and Pacific Timber Syndicate 525
Chamber of Commerce Building,
Portland, Ore"

SOME GOOD IN NAZARETH

The organization of county officers
Of. the state, an organization which
haB been in rather bad repute from
the very day 1t was organized be-
cause Of its opposition to all leg
islation which was calculated to
overthrow the fee system through
which the county officials were per-
ntftted to prey upon the people, is
about to present to the general as
sembly a proportion which really
looks good, provided certain limita-
tions be placed upon It. This or
gahization proposes that the legls-
lature shall provide that the terms
of all county officers be made four
years instead of two and that they
be paid their salaries whether their
offices earn them or not.
The first proposition looks COOL,
provided it is stipulated that the
time in office be limited TO one term.
This would practically mean that
the time would remain as it is in
most of the counties of the state
today. Whenever a man is elected
to an office and serves faithfully for
one term of two years, it is general
ly taken by the voters tnat he is en-
titled to a second term, and the man
who opposes him for the place has a
very uphill job defeating him. These
two terms would constitute the same
as the one four year term with the
one term limit and would at the
same time do away with the nee
essity for two campaigns Under the
present system, an Official is too
prone to spend the greater part OF
his first term in fixing up his fences
for reelection and is likely to over
look the boundaries of his duties in
an effort TO keep from offending any
one and having another enemy in
his second campaign. Under the one
term system of four years, he could
devote his entire time to the duties
of his office and conduct that office
without fear or favor.
OF course there is an objection to
extending the term in office. In
case an incompetent official were
chosen for any of the offices, the
voters would have no opportunity to
rid themselves OF him for four
years, when under the present sys-
tenn, in two years, they have the op-
poEtnnity TO place their stamp of
disapproyal upon his services.
The proposition to pay the sal
aries of the county officials, whether
thes office earns them or not, is
nothing more than just. Men do not
goGinto political races for the honor
alene. OF course, the knowledge
that they have been made the pref
erence of their party and that that
action of the party has been rati-
fed by the voters OF all parties, is

LITTLE PUBLIC DEMAND FOR
 EMPLOYERS LIABILITY BILL.
Senators Who Favor It Give No Clear
 Reasons for Doing So.

Hartford, July 30-The refusal by the state senate to reconsider its ac- ton in rejecting the employers liabil- ity bill reported by the judiciary com mittee disposes of this matter for this session. especially since more senators are every day coming to believe that it would be unwise to pass such legis- lation at this time There is little public demand for it and no knowing just how far-reaching might be the eff feet of this bill if it became law. The legal member of the 1907 commission of three which drafted it could not see his way clear to favor it.
 a When the bill passed the house it received no detailed explanation or clear consideration and it is doubtful if the house would vote to pass it to- day, after it's possibilities have become known. The laws now on the Con necticut statute book are wise and just and our courts are the equal of those of any state and better than those in more than one, and this fact dimin- ishes any feeling in favor of an em- ployers' liability law.
 The few members of the senate who favor it have been unable to give any clear reasons for doing so, though there has been given them ample time to find them and to work up support for the measure, which has, however, steadily lost ground with the law makers since it was reported and seems now to have become bereft of any public support.
