the writer has endeaVOred to make
plain in previous dispatches, the real
issue between progressives and regu-
lars is a moral one, and where con-
science is involved, there can be no
compromise.
Indications are that President Taft
cannot line up enough republicans"
tc guarantee the passage of the bill
providing federal charters for corpora
tons. The progressives take the
ground that they will never support
the federal corporation act which does
not provide for the forfeiture of the
violated the law and conducted it's
business in such a way as to stifle all
competition control prices or produc-
ton. or has by any device set aside the
workings of the law of supply and de-
mand and thus increased the cost to
the consumer.
But few restrictions upon corpora
lions are in the bill The charters pro-
vided by it are to run for SO years and
to be approved by the commissioner of
corporations.
Under the bill combinations are le-
gSiized. not prohibited A corporation
is authorized to sell or transfer its
property to be paid wholly or in part
In cash or in the capital stock of an
other corporation; authorized to issue
stock in order to purchase the stock of
another corporation with the proviso
that there will be valuation of the
property purchased and the stock is
sued shall not exceed it's fair valuation
Il is apparent that the bill presents a
real danger in that it may undermine
the existing antitrust law. BY it's
tarms. it authorizes combinations
which are prohibited in the antitrust
law. 1t is hard to concede how the
government, on the one hand can au
thorize corporations to do certain
things and on the other punish them
for doing those very things.
The presidents conservation pro-
gram, dictated by Ballinger must al
so be supported by republicans" In
fact. any orders issued by the presi-
dent, whose advisers and counselors
are Messrs. Aldrich and Cannon, must
be carried out. Any republican who
refuses to obey the command of Mr.
Taft is not a republican.
One point made by the progressives
which seems to be especially worthy

efforts on the part of some of the
members they were able to detain him
that night from his work and sent
another pastor in. his place The fea-
ture of the evenings entertainment
was a game of basketball between
the ''baldheads" and the young men,
although a fighting game all the way
through, the young men won by
large score. The "baldheads" claim
partially on the part of the referee,
but lack of coaching was the direct
cause. Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson received
many beautiful and useful presents
among which were two sets of knives
and forks, four sets of teaspoons, one
set of table spoons, one set or desel'
spoons, one berry spoon, one cream
ladle, one sugar spoon, one Duttel
knife. Light refreshments were serv-
ed after the basket ball game. After

for
Meetings

A meeting of the executive commit
ISOLATION was held this morning in the
rooms of the county superintendent
when plans for two meetings to be held
in Prescott and Waitsburg were con-
templated The first gathering will
take place in Prescott on February 10
the second occurring in Waitsburg
about the middle of April.
Mrs Josephine Preston, school SUI
perintendent now has under advise
ment the plan of holdin@ the last two
days session of the institute in Pen
dleton when it will be possible to work
in conjunction with the meeting of the
Inland Empire Teachers association
which convenes there March 1926.
This organization embraces the educat-
ors of eastern Washington, eastern
Oregon, and western Montana. Effort
is being made to have this the big
gest meeting of the kind ever held in
this section of the country and the
various heads of departments are al
working in unison towards this end.
When the meeting is held in Pendle-
ton, the president of the university of
Indiana will be the principal speaker
while other educators who occupy a
high place in the Pacific northwest will
also address the gatherings.
1t is expected that inestimable good
will develop from this convention
should it be possible to hold the clos
ing days of the institute together and
though no definite announcement has
been made yet in regard to this step,
it is confidently anticipated.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-01-22

of consideration is that while the
president demands that they support
legislation recommended by him, the
president never asks their judgement
or opinion while preparing his legisia-
tive program.
IF we We're called to the White
house like other republicans, and our
views taken into consideration with
the rest, We would feel that We were
of least receiving decent recognition, y
said a progressive. But the president
completely ignores us, limiting his
interviews to men who stand high in
the estimation of Aldrich and Cannon.

the various lines repaired by Sunday.
The Northern Pacific company is
line between here and Pasco, and from
this city to Waitsburg. A wash-out
between Dayton and Waitsburg,
however, tied up the traffic last night
and forced the evening train to re-
main all night in Waitsburg, and the
remainder of the trip was completed
this morning, when the damage was
repaired. The line on the fiat, between
Eureka and Pleasant View is out OF
business, and damage has been re-
ported on the Pendleton branch.
Although Walla Walla did not have
much rain, the surrounding country
and mountains were deluged yester-
day morning, with the result that the
ago were undone, and the damage
about twice as great.
At a late hour last night none Of
the roadbed of the Northern Pacific
had given way to the raging torrents,
but a portion of the tracks from
here to Dayton are submerged. The
heavy SHOWS in the mountains were
melted early yesterday morning by a
warm rain. 1t is estimated that the
ground is frozen 10 inches deep and
! the waters rushed over the frozen
ground as though it were concrete
| The motor car from Dayton yester-
| day morning on the down trip was
the first to bring word of danger.
Creeks that under normal conditions
would not give enough water to irri-
gate with, were rivers half mile or
/ more wide The motor car ran
through water for a mile. 1t COM
pleted the trip to Wallula but is be-
ing held there, as it is impossible to
reach Dayton. The train that left
here for Dayton yesterday morning
at 9 o'clock ran through water at
times two feet above the trucks. Two
miles of this perilous trip were made
through water. In one place just after
the train had passed through the flood,
40 feet of the roadbed, no longer able
to stand the rush of water, gave way
severing rail connections between here
and Dayton.
Track Washed Away.
Although it is not definitely known,
it has been reported that at least
200 feet of the Dayton o. r. & n.
line has been washed away. One
washout is between Longs and Dayton,
aonther near the Northern Pacific
crossing, and a third is reported be-
tween Waitsburg and Huntsville
The Pendleton bound train that left
here at o'clock arrived in Pendle-
ton last night As minutes late. The
crew reports that some of the track
is under water and there will doubt
less be many washouts unless excep-
tionally cold weather sets in.
Later last night, the o. r. & n.
office here received word of a washout
between Havana and Pendleton. On
he Wallula line near Whitman
Station a washout is reported
while very little of the Starbuck line
is fit for travel. A point in the track
near Lowdens is submerged and is
expected will be washed out at any
! time. On the Snake river branch
there is washout reported between
Scott and Grange City Junction and
a second III Hay canyon. Word
from Pasco at an early hour
| this morning was that the North Bank
road between that city and Vancouver,
Wash, was washed out in several
places.
