TO tie the hands OF the executive
against an unlawful combination OF
workingmen or OF any other men. If
such n combination existed. and thus
make any group or privileged class OF
1awbreakers, is neither justice nor Wis
dom nor good craftsmanship.
But 10 is said that / am not con-
eistent because ! proposed to the last
Congress that interstate railroad COM
panies be permitted to make temporary
arrangements lasting for thirty days
and fixing uniform rates for traffic be-
tween tho same places and TO this eN-
tent be exempted from the operation Of
the antitrust law
"It was said with great plausibilty.
You are opposed TO eNempting work
ingmen from the operation Of such n
law. but YOU favor the exemption Of
railroad companies.
"The answer is that interstate rail-
roads are restricted much more closely
and are under much more minute OBJ
servatiou by the provisions Of the in
terstate commerce law than they can
possibly be under the antitrust law.
The interstate commerce law thus lOgi-
callv makes them "a special class 20 be
treated by themselves.
why He Acted.
THE reason for my recommendation
was that the business Of railroads and
the fixing OF railroad rates cannot
practically be carried on without either
an express or t1cit agreement for uni
l formity in rates between competing
/ lines for short period Otherwis e
there would be n constant changing of
| rates. ending generally in n war Of
| rates which lnsurcs 20 the benefit OF
| no one.
I'm order 20 avoid auN. such danger
! from exemption. however. 70 was pro-
/ posed that the temporary agreement
] permitted should only be regarded as
legal and binding after approval by
the interstate commerce commission
/ That commission. or its own action. or
uron complaint or another. can find
a rate TO be unreasonable and can
! change 70. Everything which the rail-
| road does is subject TO examination and
/ correction 10y the commission
I No such rule applies in the case Of
l IA rmers or OF individuals generally.

I vision in this regard.
What l. Required.
AN that IS required OF them is that
/ they shall not violate the general law

Harney County Farmers Suffer Heavy
Losses.
Burns.-The Burns Commercial club
has started a movement to secure an
enactment by the next legislature
passing a small bounty on jackrab-
bits. This at first glance may appear
ridiculous, but the jackrabbit pest is
serious proposition in this part of
Oregon. The sage brush plains are
alive with them and successful culti-
vation of gardens, fruit trees, alfalfa
and even grain has been an impossi-
bility the past two seasons on ac-
count of their ravages. The club has
also inaugurated a movement to give
moral and substantial support to Sen
ator Parrish and Representative
Brooke in securing legislation for es-
tablishment of an agricultural expert
ment station in Harney valley, as ad-
vocated by President Kerr, of the Ag-
ricultural College.

legal conditions can be complied with.
This combination viii give the new or
sanizatIon the richest position of any
savings bank in the west. The capital
and surplus VIII be more than $500
oOo. and the aggregate deposits will
amount to nearly $4,000 0O0. After the
merger the san Francisco savings

The change Of name VIII be made about
the time the Savings Union moves from

The Savings Union, after the Savings

it. viii represent the oldest lncorpo-
rated savings bank on the Pacific coast,
as well as the wealthiest The Savings
and Loan society mas idu du ultliASL
rupted financial existence of 5S years
and the Savings Union of As years.
Both banks already have the flrmest
standing and financial position. The
Savings Union has paid up capital of
sIOOOOOO with a surplus of nearly
$1,000 900 and deposits of more than
$4,000 600 The Savings and Loan has
q paid up capital of $1.000.000. with
surplus of sl5O.OO0 and deposits OF
more than S5,OOO.O00. Those amounts,
combined in the new organization, viii
make it the richest institution of its
kind in the west.
During the IS years of its existence
the business of the Savings Union has
been conducted in the same block in
California street between Kearny and
Montgomery. but since the clientele of
the bank is drawn largely from the
classes who are attracted to the retail
trade district il has been deemed not
only q convenience to them, but
question Of business strategy to move
into that district. So the property at
the junction of O'Farrell street and
Grant avenue with Market street was
secured and the work on the construc-
tion of the handsome granite and steel
building was begun in November last.
The new building viii be finished dur
