The Ballinger Probe.

Placed at tremendous disadvantage
the minority members of the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigating committee have
a fierce uphill fight to make. Enough
has been shown in the press dis
patches of the investigation to prove
that republican white wash" is in evil
dence Several of the republican mem
bers of that committee are probing
as partisans eager to defend Ballinger
rather than to place the burden OF
proof upon him. Some of these par
tisan republican investigators are
more anxious to defend Ballinger and
the administration than to ascertain
the facts. They are assuming the
same attitude toward Ballinger in this
case as an attorney would in defense
OF his client
It was stated in one of the press
dispatches that Ballinger did not have
an attorney at the hearing and that
he asked that the investigation be
wide open" With several of the
partisan members of the committee
acting aggressively as his attorneys,
it is obvious Ballinger needs no spe-
cial counsel.
Golfers of this week contains an
exceedingly interesting discussion of
this case, calling attention to num-
Der of important points, among them
the following:
"In April, 1907, CLAWS, in company
with H NJ Hoyt, special agent of the
department of justice, began to investi-
gate certain coal lands acquired by
the Wilson Coal company. The pro-
moter of that company was one Wat
son Allen. He gave to CLAWS and to
Hoyt a statement in which he said
that in contracting for the purchase
of these coal claims, he had acted I'M
der the advice of Richard A. Ballinger.
Ballinger had caused Allen to make
an agreement with the dummy entry
men, by which, as soon as patents
were issued, they would convey the
coal lands to Allen. In pursuance of
this agreement deeds to the lands
were actually executed by the dummy
entrymen and put into the hands of
Ballinger, who was to hold them in
escrow until the patents were issued
and then to deliver the deeds to Allen.
This statement of Aliens was made

coal case in the United States court at
Seattle, and this case. by a dramatic
coincidence. was decided the very day
that CLAWS began his testimony in
Washington. The statement specihcal-
ly names Richard S. Ballinger as Al
lens attorney The government, at
lacking these patents as fraudulent,
on that day won its suit. In the
course of this suit, Allen made a de-
position entirely confirming what he
said to CLAWS and Hoyt. BY stipula-
ton between the attorneys, the name

sioner of the land Office. What does
this mean? 1t means simply that Bal
linger advised his client to commit u
fraud on the government, and that this
advice involved perjury on the part OF
the entrymen, as these entrymen must
have sworn that they made the entries
for their own benefit with the inten-
ton of developing the lands for them
selves. Thus we have, in stark out
lines. a situation in which Mr.. Ba;-
linger advises his clients to defraud
the government, and to defraud it
through perjury. Ballinger thus be-
comes a leading actor in a scheme 90

Unfortunately the proceedings OF the
hearing are so voluminous. the reports
carried by the press must be more or
less fragmentary and the people gen
orally throughout the country will not
be able to judge accurately as to all
details OF the hearing. They have
enough facts before them, however,
to prove that the position of the ad-
ministration relatively toward Ballin-
ger and Pinchot is untenable.
Whitewash or no whitewash, Bal
linger should go! The verdict of the
people is in.

PLANS FOR COMING SUMMER
Excursion Rates Will Go Into Effect
June 1 and Will Continue Until
Last of September.

At meeting in Chicago of an ex-
ecutive committee, representing all the
roads east of Missouri river and pre-
sided over by General Passenger
Agent Leahy of the Rock Island ruao.
yesterday rates for the summer re-
sorts and all conventions were agreed
upon. The recommendations of this
committee is that passenger fares for
all the summer resorts in the terri
tory east of the Missouri river for the
coming season be on as low a basis as
was made last year
1t was impossible to name the fig
Tres, the proposition being that the
rates be as low, as some places where
the 2-cent laws prevail the rates are
based on that figure and in ether dis
tricts where there is 215 or cents
charged on the statute, a lower maxi
mum is made. The rates will go into
effect June l and continue until Sept
so.
One and One-HaIf for Conventions.
In addition to the regular summe~
tourist rates. the executive committee
recommended that for all conventions
held in the territory named during the
summer a rate of one and one-bajf
fares for the round trip on the certifi-
cate plan be made where there is IN
attendance of 100 or more For
these affairs tickets at the regular
legal rate will be sold for the going
trip, and if the attendance reaches
r. 1 IL N,1I~n mill ha
sold at one-half the regular rate. max
ing the round trip one and one-half
fares
For larger gatherings, such as
Knights Templar. Grand Army and
meetings of that class. special action
leading to a lower basis will be taken.
The action of the western managers
in making attendance of 1000 a test
for any concession from regular rates
is placing the western field in the
same class as the eastern district,
where a similar requirement is made
to secure reductions in fares.
Means End of Battle.
The managers of the western lines
have fought any reductions in rates
since the 2-cent laws went into effect
and the declaration at yesterdays
meeting means that the battle is over
and that concessions for special occa-
sions will be the rule.
L. A Richardson has been appointed

was made that the presidents federal
corporation act contained so many bad
features that a large number of re-
publicans who were not insurgents de-
clared positively that. patronage or no
patronage, they would not support the
measure.
This disheartening news was carried
to the White house. A gloomy seance
between the party leaders followed. A
new problem was at hand for solution.
1t had not occurred to the president
that his scheme might make more in
surgents; he had only figured on bring
ing the old insurgents into camp.
1t was finally agreed that the federal
incorporation act would be dropped
from the list of measures the support
of which would signify party fealty or
party relationship. This seemed like a
solution of the problem. The counsel
ors left the White house in excellent
spirits.
New Storm Arises.
But. To-! and behold, two days later
there suddenly arose a new storm.
Mondell of Wyoming in the house and
Guggenheim in the senate declared
they would not support the presidents
conservation program, though the po-
litical heavens might fall upon their
shoulders.
once again the wise men gathered at
the White house. 1t was plain to all
that it would not do to engage the
wrath of the house of Guggenheim,
from whence flow such rich blessings
to the campaign funds. There was
nothing to do but drop conservation
from the list. So it was dropped
Ship subsidy railway rate legisla-
ton, and one or two other of my
measures" alone remained as tests
for republicanism. A canvass showed
that both of these measures had many
enemies in the republican ranks, and
so the entire scheme of using the fed
eral patronage as a club to enforce
support for my measures" was dis
banded. No public announcement was
made, as that would have been an adj
mission of failure, which would not be
good politics.
Much Damage Done.
The idea was abandoned because II
was found to be Impractical; the bad
congressman would not support a good
bill, and the good congressman would
not support a bad bill. Had the presi-
dent persisted in his original intention,
there is little doubt but that the disso-
luton of the republican party would
now be complete. AS it was the organ
ization sustained considerable damage.
This does not mean that the repub-
licans will cease in their endeavor to
punish the real" insurgents of the
house and the real progressives of
the senate. The number of insurgents
and progressives has decreased in the
last month, but those who are genuine
still have the enmity of the standpat-
tiers and are being punished in every
way possible. Their defeat in the APP
preaching congressional elections will
be brought about, If possible. Presi-
dent Taft, for instance, is now taking
an active but quiet part in the efforts
to defeat Senator La Toilette and other
of the genuine" progressives of con-
gress.
