SENATOR PURCELL
ATTACKS TAFT
North Dakotan Stirs up Rumpas
by Speech Delivered in Senate

Washington, April 90 1 n
his maiden speech delivered in
the senate today on the railroad
bill, Senator Purcell, of North
Dakota, sharply criticised the
president and attorney general.
He virtually charged a purpose
of so transforming the supreme
court as to insure such con-
structions of the proposed law
as to supplant and nulify anita.
gonistic state laws and state
constitutions. He was dealing
with the merger provisions OF
the bill and having stated that
the North Dakota state consti
tuition prohibited the consoli
dation of railroad lines, con-
tended that under decisions of
the supreme court it had held
in effect that questions of this
character were subject to state
control.
"It must be apparent to
everyone" he proceeded, "That
when the president and the at
torney general drafted this law,
they were familiar with exist,
ing la VS. in relation to the mat
ter covered by section IL. 1t is
fair to assume that they put it
in this bill because they want
ed to see it become Law. Sec.
ton IL, if enacted would con.
flict with the decisions men
toned.
ut can become operative on
ly III one way. OF the members
of the supreme court who de.
cided the Louisville and Nash
vile road case, only three are
now on the bench aud two are
advanced in years and are now
entitled to their retirement.
The court is IN lamentable con.
dition. wo vacancies now
practically exist. Two more
soon will exist in the natural
course of events. This will
make at least four appoint.
ments that the president will
have to make.
Having the power to ap
point the members of this
court, who finally determine
the law upon all questions, he
hes the opportunity to appoin,
those whose sentiments in re
lgard to the section IL accord

He spoke regarding the fail.
ure to place lumber OH the free
list and went at length into
conditions in his own state,
where he said the lumber bust
ness was largely under the
control of a ring.
When he concluded Mr.. Pur-
cell was congratulated by
number of his colleague.
Following Mr.. Purcells
speech the senate engaged i'll a
prolonged wrangle over a par.
liamentary ENHANCEMENT relat.
ing to the status of amendments
offered by Senators Crawford
and Cummins to the provision
legalizing traffic agreements
between railroad ompanies.
This condition was at last re-
lieved by the acceptance by
Senator Elkins of the Crawford
amendment as a substitute for
the original provision. The ef
feet of this acceptance was to
give the amendment the stand
ing of a committee amendment
and to permit Mr. Cuminins to
present his suggestion as an
amendment to the section as
thus modified. g..
The Crawford provision re-
quires that such agreements
shall be subject to the approval
of the interstate commerce
committee, but does not speci
fically require that this ap.
prevail shall be vouchsafed by
the agreements going into eff
feet.
Unwilling to take any
chances on this point, Mr.. Cum
Minis, presented a substitute
specifying that the approval
should antedate the taking eff
feet of the agreements as Mr.,
Cummins desired to speak at
len 9Th on the subject, the SEN
ate adjourned without taking
action on either provision.

with his. The attorney general
would, no doubt, grace the su
preme bench. If he were ap
pointed, would he not support
his own handiwork.
"How easy it would be for the
selssident, through his new ap.
pointees to bring about a
change in existing law, and to
! foist upon the people the pro
visions of section IL as the law
of the land.
"rhe pending bill demon
strates that the president is
strongly inclined toward the
interests of the railroads.
Therefore, would lie not make
appointments of court of com
MERGE judges, known to be fav
orable to the railroads.
eff this should happen. then
by the passage Of this bill, all
the benefits nd protection
given by court decisions may
be lost, and the railroads may,
by our action, be authorized to
accomplish those very things,
in matters of consolidation.
which the court have deternin-
ed, they could not do because
they were detrimental and de-
structive to the rights of the
people"
Mr. Purcell criticised many
of the provisions of the bill Of
the proposed court Of commerce
he complained, and said that no
established lawyer could desire
a place on it's bench because it
would be hotbox OF passion
and greed. He found fault
with the failure of the bill to
prohibit over.capitalization and
improper combinations on the
part of the railroads. He also
expressed the opinion that the
bill should permit the interstate
commerce commission to regu.
late transportation rates on the
Great Lakes as under existing
conditions independent lines
could get a footing on those
waters.
Mr. Purcell declared that al.
ready the county had repudiat-
ed the wisdom of the president
in giving his endorsement to
the new tariff law. In support
of this statement, he referred
to the action. of the Indiana
State Republican convention
He pointed out that in all, the
Eve congressional cleo tion 6
held since the Payne.Aldrirh
bill became a law, the republi.
can candidates had been de-
feated, notwithstanding, the
districts had all been republi
'can.

Cashmere Real Estate Deals.

On Saturday A. Hudson disposed
of his ten acre fruit farm miles
west of Cashmere to John Richards,
the price paid being $4,000. The
deal was made through the Sunset
Land Agency. Mr.. Richards is an
Alaska miner and during the next
two years will remain in the north
and close up his business, after
which he will make his permanent
home here. He expects to move his
family here in a few weeks.
Mr.. Hudson purchased the place
less than year ago from ]. A. Stan
ford for $4,000. 1t is set out to ap-
pies and pears, and in few years
will be one of the best orchards in
the valley.
A deal was also made between F.
H. Hoback and Messrs. George L..
Bray and Phillip H. Miller, the lat
ter two coming into possession Of
Mr.. Hoback's ten acres one mile
west of Cashmere. The place was
set out to young orchard partly
bearing. The price paid was SILL
500, and the deal was closed by the
Cashmere Land & Investment Co.
The new purchasers" expect to oc-
cupy the place in couple of weeks
and make their residence. DR.. Con-
way will also make his home here
with them and will quite likely pur-
chase a place in the valley this sea-
son.-Cashmere Record.
