NTRACTS
FOR OREGON
TRUNK LET
WORK WILL BE DONE BY SUR
CONTRACTORS IN SECTIONS OF
FROM TWO TO TWELVE MILES,
AND WORK BEGUN AT ONCE.

H. C. Henry, of Seattle, has let
to Nelson Bros. the last contract on
the 126 miles OF construction on the
Oregon Trunk railway, from Madras
south to the north end of the Klam-
ath Indian reservation.
Mr.. Henry obtained the contract
less than a month ago on the lowest
bid submitted to President Stevens
of the Oregon Trunk. Although It
was expected that the Henry outfit
would proceed to the scene of con-
struction, Mr.. Henry and Malcolm
McFee, who is associated with him,
have preferred to sublet every inch
of the line.
With one exception, every con-
tract is in lengths of from two to
twelve miles, enabling close atten-
tion to be paid to each sub-contrac-
tor.
All the contractors, with the ex-
ception of Nelson, have their camp
outfits on the ground and are ready
to start work at once. The camps
at present are not ready to take
care of a great influx of labor, but
have had no difficulty in getting
filled to their present capacity.
When the camps are completed to
receive their full compliments, the
contractors say they will have an
opportunity to judge of the. labor
market, and until then, it will not be
possible to speak of the date at
which completed construction may
be expected.
Mr.. Fee arrived from the De-
schutes and said that after investi-
cation the construction of the road
appeared to be on a fairly easy
plane, the last 6S miles being par
ticularly easy. N1a-

A comprehensive report of COM
mittee appointed some time ago by
John Kirby, Jr., president of the ma
tional association, will be made, and
the convention will be addressed by
Professor Frederick Remsen Hutton,
of the American Museum OF Safety;
Miles M. Dawson, who has studied
accident prevention abroad for the
Russell Sage Foundation, and by
other eminent speakers.
President Kirby said on the sub
ject:

any other issues which attract pub
lie interest in the field of industry.
They are live questions of vital i'm
portance to members from an
economic as well as humanitarian
standpoint.
I'm preparing its report, the COM
mittee has communicated with
$4,000 employers in all parts of the
United States, as we'll as $50 ma
tional, state and local organizations
of employers. Every state legislator
of every state in the union was also
written to. Special correspondence
was carried on with American and
European experts.
"A little more than 10000 replies
to the various communications have
been received. There were only
three protesting, even in a mild man
ner, against taking up the question
of employers liability and work
mems indemnity. II was disclosed
that 80 per cent of the membership
of the association favors const uc-
tive, progressive policy of dealing
with this difficult question"

1t is plain that United States
Senator Lorimer obtained his seat
by bribery, and that he should De
expelled from the Senate. Yet If all
the men who have bought seats in
the Senate in the same way were
thrown out, there would be numer-
Gus vacancies. Lorimer's case, how
ever, is particularly rank, and to
save it's face, as the Chinese say,
the Senate may find itself obliged to
take action against him.

responsibility by the employment Of

Moreover. an election to the SEN
ate obtained by bribery should be
treated as null and void, regardless
of the question of personal RESPONSE
bility. Such an election ought to
be regarded as of no validity what
ever. Where bribery has been
proved the seat involved should be
declared vacant forthwith.
AS the Constitution of the United
States makes each House of Congress
the Judge of the elections, returns
and qualifications of its own mem

two-thirds vote, to expel any mem
Der, the Senate is fully armed with
authority to deal with Lorimer ac-
cording to his deserts, regardless Of
State. Illinois may put up with him,
but the Senate should at once insti-
tute on its own account a searching
investigation, and be governed by
the result.

The confessions of a number of
members of the Illinois Legislature
that they were bribed to vote for
Lorimer, and the indictment of a
number of other members of the
same body, implicated by these con-
fessions, leaves no moral doubt Of
Lorimer's guilt 1t is not charged
that he took direct personal part
in the corruption, but who can doubt
his guilty knowledge of the bribery?
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-06-04

Nearly two-thirds of the States,
through their legislatures, have for
mally demanded of Congress that it
call National Convention to amend
the Constitution, so as to provide
for direct popular choice of Senators.
With like action by one or two more
states, Congress will be compelled
either to call the Convention, under
the terms of the Constitution, or to
approve the proposed amendment
and submit it for adoption by the
required three-fourths of the various
States.
The House OF Representatives has
repeatedly voted in favor of such an
amendment, but the Senate has as
often refused to do so. Now, how
ever, the Senate cannot longer oh
struct this reform without endanger-
ing reelection of its own members,
nor without creating a demand for
still more radical changes in the
organic law.

In any case, seat in the United
States Senate, obtained by bribery
and corruption, should be declared
vacant, whether legal liability for
corruption can be fixed on the in

Lorimers election to the Senate
was discredit to Illinois, even had
it always been free from suspicion
of bribery. He is a mere self-seek-
ing politician of low order, servile
to corporations and in no way prop
erly qualified for his high position.
His impudent hardihood may be
judged by his speech in the Senate
in denunciation of his accusers, and
protesting his own innocence, at the
very time that a Grand Jury in
Illinois was returning indictments
against three members of the legis-
lature concerned in the corruption
by which he became Senator.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-06-04

There is one comforting reflection
in this disgraceful Lorimer affair,
which is that it will aid to movement
for direct popular election of United
States Senators. The choice of SEN
ators by Legislatures inevitably
leads to corruption of such bodies, in
various ways, and to control of the
United States Senate by the servants
of corporations.

PULLMAN, Wash, April 15.-
The entire student body at the dor
mitory of the Washington State
college are on strike" today be-
cause of the discharge of G. c.
North, student at the college and
a prominent member of the track
team, following an argument be-
tween North and the steward over
the quality of food served in the
dorm" An ultimatum was sent
by the students to the regents a
few days ago demanding more and
better food and North had been Sc
lected to represent them before the
college officials. 1t was rumored
that the stewards action was taken
at the suggestion of members of
the faculty and when this became
known all the students, including
walters and other employees, left
the building. The students declare
they will not return until North
is reinstated. President Bryan is

Mrs. Dow, her daughters, Harriet
and Lucy, with their guest, Miss
Blackstone, a scnoo! teacher and a
graduate OF Smith college, were
busily engaged in an effort to solve
a puzzle picture one evening at
their home, when they were sur
prised by q masked burglar with a
demand for their money, and found
themselves looking down a shining
barrel of a revolver.
Miss Blackstone, screaming, at
tempted to escape into another
room. The masked man exclaimed,
IF you want to get killed, keep on
yelling" and fired, killing the col
lege graduate instantly. He then
turned and shot Harriet Dow seri-
ously injuring her, and escaped.
The savage affair came as a Sc
quel to series OF burglaries by a
lone marauder which had kept the
residents OF Springfield in terror
for the past year. A reward of
$4,000 was offered by the citizens
for his arrest.

about his arrest. During one of his
many robberies, the Springfield
Raffles dropped a locket with the
initials "B. G. s." engraved on it
and containing the pictures of two
women. The locket he had carried
