BIG SCANDAL
IS UNEARTHED

This afternoon in Denver according
to message received by The Sentinel,
Gov. Shafroth discharged Z. j. Whit
ney. the present boiler inspector. who
il is reported has admitted his irregu-
larities.
Ii Is said that Attorney General
Barnett is making thorough inyes-
tigation and charges will be preferred
against a number of men.
The disclosures have created a big
sensation in Denver. The opening
paragraphs of big story in the DEN
yer News read as follows:
Grating in progress for fifteen
years in office of state boiler inspect
or, according to sworn statement
made Saturday by Mrs. Ada X. Tib-
bits to Governor Shafroth and Audit
or Kenehan.
Estimated that there are 5000 boil
ers in the state at the present time,
and that revenue in fees for state
should be about $25, 900 a year
Only little more than $4,000 has
been turned in from the boiler in
speotor's office each year. Difficult
to measure the extent of the graft,
but Auditor Kenehan points out that
it would reach tremendous total in
fifteen years.
Through the sworn confession OF
a woman stenographer, State Audit
or Roady Kenehan has unearthed
wholesale grating which has been in
progress for many yars in the state
boiler inspection department. A Sc
cret investigation by the auditor cul
minated Saturday in a sensational
statement from Mrs. Ada X. Tibbits.

spector, Alexander E. ]. Whitney, but

oh yes, they have heard about the
coming of the G. w. Parker shows,
but the chances are they have no
idea of the true size of these shows,
and will be surprised when the hun
dreds of cars are being unloaded. Nor
could they form comparatively ac-
curate idea when told that these
shows are the biggest of the kind in
the world.
Although at this time not definite
ly decided, the chances are that a
special animal house and arena will
be erected on the Parker factory
site as soon as the concrete work
on the structure now under way is
completed. Efforts 20 secure ade-
duate quarters In the city were said
tc have been unavailing, leaving the

erect the special building.
Owing to the fact that 1t is neces-
sary to keep all show animals work
ing throughout the cold months,
there is reason to believe that the
people of Leavenworth and vicinity
this winter will have an opportunity
of witnessing one of the most COM
plete shows of the kind in the coun-
try. 1t is Mr.. Parker's intention,
provided present plans work out
to spare no expense in
putting on show worth while.
All of the Parker shows which
now are touring the south are ex-
pected to close the last of next

but who will admit that the rates
paid by himself are too high.
III the integrity and efficiency Of
the American railway system is to
be perpetuated, this false idea must
be corrected. Railroad rates as a
whole are not excessive, II indeed,
they are sufficiently remunerative
The fact is that the latest issued sta
tlstIcal report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission shows that for
year ending June 80, 1908, 34.31 per
cent of the capital stock of the rail-
roads received no dividends what
ever and 7.24 per cent Of the funded
debt earned no interest. In other
words, the owners Of nearly twenty
per cent OF the entire railroad capt.
talization of American roads received
no returns whatever on their invest
ment. Inequalities which need to
be adjusted, the regulative author
tiles may be relied upon to remove.
ut follows, therefore, that any
further reduction will constitute an
embargo upon the ability Of the rail-
roads to meet the constantly incFeas-
ing demands Of the public, In the way
of enlarged facilities and efficiency
of service. 1t is automatic that If
the railroads are to promote the de-
veIopment of the resources of the
country, their revenues can not be in
definitely diminished. II it( were
1t is not-that the build
ing Of the Panama canal would have
the effect of producing the aggregate
freight revenue of the American rail-
ways, 1t would constitute the strong
est possible argument against the
building of the canal. The history
If American commercial progress Is
,oincident with that of American rail-
way development, and any policy
which tends to check the one will in
react disastrously upon the
'ther."

THEY DON'T OBJECT.
Railroads Willing to Have Physical
Valuation Made.

Il President E. P. Ripley of the
!. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
company several months ago announc
ed that his company did not object
to the physical valuation of railroad
property for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether the property had
been overcapitalized, but he insisted
that 1t would be calamity to the
commercial interests of the country
to use the physical valuation as a
basis for freight rate making. The
Santa Fe Officials who are carrying
ON a "get-acquainted" campaign over
the lines are keeping the argument
advanced by Pres. Ripley constant
lily before the public mind.
eve don't object to a physical val
uation of our property" Santa Fe
man will say, for we know it is
worth every dollar for which it is
capitalized"
Then the Santa Fe man will SUI
NIT Colonel Roosevelt as an expert
witness to show that the railroads of
the country are not overcapitalized.
He will quote from Colonel Roose-
velts Cincinnati speech in which tho
statement is made that the railroad
property of the United States is worth
its capitalization.
Then, as If to clinch the argu-
ment, the Santa Fe harmony orator
will put Senator Albert B. Cummins
of Iowa on the witness stand. In a |
speech before the Traffic club of |
Chicago, Senator Cummins lately
made the statement that he would
not be willing to make present ply
steal valuation of railroad property
4 basis for determining freight rates,
for the reason that 1t is more than
probable that the present capitaliza-
ion of between fifteen and sixteen
billions would be increased to. twenty
billions"
F.. The railway commission of Min
rosetta has fixed the valuation of
ailroads in that state at $54,2O1 a
nile. These roads are capitalized at
i44,206 a mile. The Wisconsin COM
mission fixed the valuation of the
ines Of that state at $S4,46O a mile,
Though the roads are capitalized
or only $SS,424 q mile. The COM {
Mission Of the state of Washington
ound the capital of the Northern
'acific to be s7O,27s a mile and the
alue, S1O6,500 a mile. The COM I
lissions named are not regarded as
friendly to the railroads. II these i
aluations are a criterion of what
