Congressman Madison's Speech


Congressman Madison spoke in
this city last Wednesday afternoon.
His speech bears out the claim his
opponents are making-that he is
straddler, half standpatter and
half insurgent, anything to get
votes and no definite ideas on any
subject. He said in effect that the
insurgents are right and the stand
patters are right, that he fought for
the insurgent cause part of the
time and finally lined up with the
standpatters because the tariff bill
is pretty good after all. The speech
was one continual apology from be-
ginning to end.
In referring to the platform of
Geo. A. Neeley declaring for the
| amendment of the short and long
haul clause of the railroad rate bill
to make it effective, Mr.. Madison
stated that when Neeley issued his
platform such a rate bill had been a
law for two months and Neeley was
not aware of the fact; also that the
| democratic party council had placed
it in the state platform, and mem
bers thereof apparently knew nc
| better.
Mr.. Neeley knew as did many of
of the democratic council, that the
present law is not effective, and, as
it was enacted, is of little or. nc
benefit. To illustrate: the rate OF
citrus fruits from California to New
York City is $1.25 per hundred
pounds and the same rate applies
to intermediate points after leaving
the state of California until they
reach New York.
Do you not think there should be
a lower rate, say for Kansas City
which is practically the half-wa!
point having long enjoyed a termi
nal rate?
This ought to be fair Then al
points in Kansas would save one
third of the freight on all citrus
and other fruit shipped from Cali
fornia. To make the long anf shor
haul clause of any benefit it shoul(
be amended to compel the railroad
to make a lower rate to the 1arg'
shipping centers in the Mississippi
Valley such as Omaha, Chicago, st
Louis, Kansas City and all othe
cities having terminal rates, thu
making a rate in proportion to tn
distance freight is hauled and tn
services rendered, rather than on
based upon extreme points of Ian
transportation. Under the presen
law the railroads are granted the
power to make all intermediate ship
: ments pay the maximum freight rat
, Thus Wichita and Kansas City pa
the New York rate.
The trouble with such men a
Madison is that they enact a make
shift, ineffective measure and the
brand it as genuine and people VIII
are uninformed accept it as the rea
article, and by that sort of tricker
the public will is thwarted. MI
= Madison got his only hearty al
plause in this reference to r.Neele
and he got that under false pre-
tense and by presuming on the Is
norance of his audience.

INTERMARRIAGE OF RACES
Representative Griffin Voted Against
a Bill Prohibiting Whites and
Blacks from Marrying

There was a small political rip
pie in this city a few hours on Sat
urday. Someone had learned that
Representative Griffin voted against
a bill in the last legislature, prohib-
iting white people and colored peo-
pie from marrying, and it was being
generally talked. When Mr.. Grit
fins partisan friends learned it,they
challenged the statement and it led
to looking the matter UP and it was
found to be true. The evidence ap-
pears on page SAL of the House
Journal of 1910. The bill referred
to is House Bill No. 472 and is en-
titled AN Act in Relation to Mar
riage." The roll was called and
the bill was defeated, 81 voting aye,
SO voting nay and 35 being absent
or not voting.
Among those voting nay was
SAMUEL GRIFFIN.
Two members explained their
votes. Explanation No. 1:

and tends to engender race hatred.

rison.
The Index publishes this because
it is due Mr. Griffin as well as thos
who are opposed to his vote on thii
question: ), This is matter o
belief. Those who believe that tht
races should be allowed to intermar
ry should vote for Mr.. Griffin bu
those who do not so believe, cal
not consistently do so. Our owl
opinion is that Mr. Griffin did no
represent the wishes of his constitu
ents in this vote.
We understand that Mr.. Griffith
now claims that he voted agains
the bill because it repealed a lay
of 1857, but nowhere did he ex
plain his vote at the time, and non
of theEother explanations touched o
} this matter.
If, however, there was an objec
tion of this kind it could easily hav
, been eliminated.

RED FORCES Win
BLOODLESS fight
Advance of Blue Army on Pine
Mountain Checked After
Hard Battle"

CAMP ATASCADERO, Oct THE
morning in bloodless battle at Pine
mountain. The fight was the result
of several days skirmishing by both
armies for positions to command the
railroad. After several hours of hard
lighting the reds proved victorious and
held the mountain.
The red army, commanded by Major
RoudieZ, occupied trenches at the base
of Pine mountain, with machines guns
guarding each flank. Its mounted pa
trols came in contact with the red
scouts near Eagle pass after breakfast.
The blue forces were advancing from
the south and consisted of a much
larger body of men than their op-
ponents. AS soon as the skirmishers
Of both sides were engaged in action
the blue commander ordered Major
Kirby to deploy his battalion and storm
the enemy's trenches
At this stage of the battle the reds
rapid fire guns got in their deadly
work. Each blue line of skirmishers
that rushed across the open to attack
the reds position were put out of
action by fast fire. The blues suffered
such loss that they were forced to
retreat before noon.
OnS Ol the interesting features Oh IHS
battle was the work done by the hos
pital corps. The umpires riding down
the different firing lines would inform
men that they were supposed to be
wounded and would designate the ma
ture Of their injuries.
Hospital stewards following in the
rear of the firing line tagged the dis
abled with white and blue tags. Each
color had its meaning and represented
whether the man needed field treat
nent, ambulance transportation to the
field hospital of if he could care for
himself Several officers were among
those wounded
1t was learned late this afternoon
al the headquarters of the red troops
that a quantity of supplies and am
munition belonging to the blues was
at Larsen's ranch. The Fifth Califor-
MIA under Colonel D. A. Smith was dis
patched to capture or destroy them.
The blues were attacked and jislodged.
The signal corps today reached 263&
miles from a field station, it being the
fartherest point ever reached in this
country. Tonight both militia and reg
ular signal companies held rocket drills
on the plains below camp under 1.-The
supervision of Captain Stamford and
Lieutenants Beck and Prosser.
