CORPORATION VERACITY

The Pacific telephone and tele-
graph company and the Pullman car
company seem to be in the same class
with respects to veracity. The
phone company, through its officials,
recently made the statement that It
is making only a fraction over one
per cent upon its investment in Pen
d.atnn. That was startling because
this is one of the best small cities of
the northwest and the company has
standardized its rates. 1t is too
bad indeed the company is making
such small profits and it is surprising
since it does a profitless business
how the company secured money with
which to purchase the Western Un-
/ ion.
The Pullman company, through it:
attorneys, has made the plea that i
the interstate commerce commission
reduces its rates, the company will b,
Threatened with bankruptcy II
other words the company must hav,

should bring water to the eyes of .
wooden billikin.
To be serious though, these corpor
alton statements point a lesson. TIL
lesson is that people cannot rely up
on the information corporations fur
nish with respects to their profits
Such statements are made to deceive
not to enlighten.

WHY so UNFAIR?

If the Oregonian had more regard
for truth and was less bent upon serv-
ing as the organ of political faction
it would be a greater journal than
| i; is. This is prompted by the in
justice that paper has done the Ore
gon senator's in the matter of the am
endment to the irrigation law. The
Oregonian has attempted through its
Washington correspondent, to charge
that amendment up to the senators.
Yet the amendment to which Ore
gon people object originated in the
house. 1t was insisted upon by GER
tain members of the house because
three states, Kansas, oklahoma and
one of the Dakotas have no feasible
projects. This being the case certain
members held it would be folly to re-
quire the expenditure of money in
those states. Upon the authority of
Congressman Ellis this paper has it
that this was the case and that the
irrigation bill could not have passed
the house without that amendment.
1t is also noteworthy that in an in
terview given this paper upon his re-
turn from Washington, Judge Ellis
did not charge that amendment UP to
Senators Bourne and Chamberlain.
Why should the Portland Oregonian
misrepresent the situation in an at
tempt to discredit Oregons senators &?
Is that paper so blinded by factional
hatred that it cannot see the truth E?

Rockefeller Charity Fund is to be

[Gate City Leased Wire Sewice.l
NEW YORK, March 5.--Trustees of

one who is willing to give money to
the institution and John D. Rockefel-
Ter will not be the only one to have
his funds invested in the perpetual
charitable fund which he is to or
ganize. That these donations will be
accepted from outsiders, was learned
tonight from Frederick T. Gates, of
the Standard Oil company, in charge
of Rockefeller's charitable enterprises.
Gates again emphasized the fact
that the policy of the Rockefeller
Foundation will be to give money
when emergencies arise and that the
Foundation will build hospitals and
kindegartens or send food to victims
of earthquakes, or meet any other
condition that requires aid.

CHICAGO, March 5.-President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed

afternoon declined to discuss the Phil

any statement regarding the attitude

it. He is expected, however, to make
some announcement at meeting of

morrow during which he will deliver
an address on the effect of the Dan
bury hatters' case decision.
Gompers refused to state whether
he thought the hatters' decision would
drive organized labor into political ac-
ton as the Taft-Vale decision drove
the British workmen into the organi-
zation of the laborite party, but he de-
clared: "One thing is certain; that
decision places the unions at the mer-
cy of the courts, which may adversely
interpret the law or interpolate into
the law forces destructive of the

Discussing his own sentence for

vinced that his own Interpretation of

[Gate City Leased Wire Service.l
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, March s.
Struggling madly for few brief mo-

bulant waters of Niagara river, two
unknown men were carried to death
late today. 1t is believed they were
fishermen who had permitted their
boat to drift in the current that sets
toward the falls without realizing the
tremendous strength of the rivers
flow.
The men were first sighted off Port
Day, a mile and half above the falls,
well over toward the Canadian side,
frantically pulling at the oars. trying
to drag their boat out of the current.
For a time the fragile craft seem
ed to hold in the fast running waters,
then slowly, at first, but swiftly and
more swiftly as the current gained its
fatal embrace, the boat went on into
the upper rapids. Off the Third Sis
ter Island the skiff overturned and the
two men disappeared. Up to late
hour tonight the identity of the vic.

WASHINGTON, March 5.--Three

the passage of the postal savings
bank bill by the senate this afternoon
by vote of 90 to %. The division
was on strict party lines, with the
exception that Chamberlain dem,

Progressive senators are elated to-
night over their victory in forcing an
amendment that destroys what they
consider the most objectionable fea-
ture urged by the regulars and places
the bill in such form that the insurg-
ents could vote for it.
President Taft sustained defeat to
the fact that the use of savings de.
posits for the purchase Of two per
cent government bonds which he
strongly urged, was forbidden in the
bill as it passed the senate. The
fight today was over the question of
the use to be made of deposits in the
postal banks. Many senators prac-
tically all those from the west and
south contended the money should re-
main in banks in the neighborhood
where the money was deposited.
Smoot, (Rep, Utah) submitted an
addition providing that when in the
Judgment of the president, war or
any other exigency involving the
credit Of the government, arose, the
money might be used for the pur-
chase of government bonds. All the
