Work of the I.Ngislaturn.

The Virginia legislative session has
come to a close. AT the close of any
work or period 1t Is well to enumerate
what has been done. 1t cannot be
expected that any legislators can do
everything exactly right. They can
not be expected to do everything suit
able to everybody. We believe that
this Legislature has passed a number
OF good measures and we also believe
that there are measures for the good
of the Commonwealth which II did
not pass. No doubt, HI in case with
all legislatures, bills we're passeo
which time will prove to be wrong,
but these are few and tmmaterial
Certainly there were many bad billy
which the Legislature turned down

Statesmen Wanted.

We know it is very easy to find
fault but when the people look at
the rapidly increasing tax rate and
the extravagant expenditure OF their
money We believe we are warranted
in saying that the Democratic party
must change its methods radically IL
1t would hold longer the support of
patriotic men, 1t is time that all
good citizens should move to stamp
out all civic uurighteousness
We have far too many o-cal1ed
statesmen with Far too little old
fashioned common sense, There 10
no wisdom in half of the new laws
enacted. and they are repealed by a
succeeding Legislature. So many are
the changes that the people never
know what Is law. We, therefore,
move that the Legislature do not
meet again for ten 1--WE were about
to say 1909 years.
Our Virginia solons believe in re-
forming tax upward in imitation of
the Republicans in Congress who be-
lieve In tariff reform upwards.

Go and ask them. They will tell
you that methods must be changed.

Higher Prices on Importations.


The very latest import figures show
that the prices Of materials, manufac-
lures and foodstuffs brought into the
United States are steadily going up.
The cause may be as difficult to fix as
that behind the advance on home prod
ucts. Foreign exporters may argue
that If the American people stand high
prices on things raised or made at
home they won't cut short purchases
of foreign goods because rates go up.
On the other hand, it might be sup
posed that trade policy would lead
them to keep prices down and under
sell some lines of American goods.
However, statistics relating to i'm
portation prices for the last half of
1909 indicate that the advance in the
prices Of articles brought into the
country is merely keeping pace with
the upward tendency of prices where
the goods originated. 1t is no new
tale that the cost of living is adyanc-
ing pretty much the world over. There
fore the cost of producing and han
ding goods for export has advanced in
the countries from which we buy. Men
in the export trade are conservative, as
a rule. They seek, first, to retain
trade once built up; second, to gain
fair profit, and seldom put up prices

Farming and the National Forests.


In view Of the prominence into
which forestry has been brought
through recent controversies ana
events, a word upon homesteads with
IN the reservation from the secretary Of
'agriculture's latest report may help TO
clarity the subject for those at dis
tance from the regions vitality involv-
ed Believing that the facts had been
misrepresented, Secretary Wilson said:
81 made personal investigation of
these matters during the past summer
in the states Of Idaho and Wyoming.
| found no evidence that the national
forests are Withholding from settle
ment land now demanded for agrlcu-
ture."
Under the act Of June, 1906, land
within the national forest area may be
opened up to settlement. Upward of
1900 homesteads, with a total area
of 10000 acres, were listed under
this act in 1909 Improvement in
farming methods and increase in pop
ulation is likely to increase the de-
mand for farm land such as may be
found within the national reserve do
main, and the secretary remarks that
the present Is not the time to decide
where the line should be finally drawn
as to the advance of agriculture into
the forest reservation.

and will carry through cars between

servation he made of this characteris-

catcher that was being buffeted by a
head wind in it's eastern fight across
the North sea toward the continental
shores alighted on the boat. It took
kindly to the attention paid to It SO

course, but when the course Of the
boat was altered a few points to the
northward the bird Immediately show
ed signs Of uneasiness and after an
apparent consideration Of it's bearings

it's eastbound course. The alteration
in the boats course was revealed to

Dispatch Trains by Telephone

Commencing next Thursday morn
ing, May 26, the Great Northern Rail-
road Company will begin the use of
the telephone for train .dispatching.
In about ten days the phones will be
installed and ready for work between
Spokane and Troy. Those to be cut in
on Thursday morning are between Spo-
kane and leavenworth. Every station
and siding will be equipped with a tele.
phone and there is selector set by
which the dispatcher can call any
station he wants. There is no ringing of
bells, unless the station specified is
wanted.
The Great Northern is not figuring
on doing away with its telegraph oper-
ators. While the wages of the operators
were cut on some of the Eastern divi-
sions, it is not believed that the same
order will apply in this district.
Every train, both passenger and
freight. that leaves Spokane going in
either direction will be equipped with
portable telephone set. which will
enable any of the train crew to fasten
the contact wires to the dispatcher's
wire and be in instant communication.
In cases OF wreck or emergency the
advantage of the telephone over the
telegraph may readily be seen.
All Eastern roads are beginning to
lean toward the telephone in this re-
spect, and in few years, railroad men
say, nearly all of the important roads
will have taken up this means of train
dispatching.
