Riding over the North Bank line
from Spokane to Portland opens
ones eyes to the fact that here is the
most perfect and most extensively
built railroad in the new world. It
cost $42.O00,0pJ and carries the
overflow traffic Of two transconti-
mental lines--the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern. The line Is
cut through solid rock a large part
of the way and hung In the air for
miles on steel glrders and concrete
arches. A single trestle over a dry
canyon is a mile long and nearly n
hundred feet high.

Through Whitman county you see
in all directions golden fields Of
stubble and black fields plowed for
the next crop. Six and eight horse
teams hauling wheat, two and three
pulling broad-tired wagons nearly as
long as a boxcar, small stations
handling half a million sacks a year
IA rich and dusty country pouring
out its wealth OF golden grain--the
inexhaustible granary OF the new
world. This line runs along the
north edge OF the great Palouse
country, and II is always problem
to get cars enough to haul the wheat
out. The grazing lancs are full Of
fat cattle. the valleys are green with
grass and many cosy "horse
heaven" lies nestling in the foothills
sheltered from the wind.
To get an idea OF the wealth of
this region the mind must sweep be-
yond the rocky slopes that stretch
away on each side OF the track, TO
the wheat fields ard stock ranges on
the higher tablelands. At a station
called Benge-it is scarcely sta
tion-were long strings of wagons
waiting to unload wheat. Cattle cor
rails cannot be built fast enough.
Half dozen rude plank warehouses
are rushed up at new stations and
more a building but they can never
hold II all. Stacks Of sacked wheat
are piled up on the ground. The
resources OF the soil are only be-
ginning TO be touched. We sweep
through a little valley where there
is water and It's aqueous magic turns

From Spokane - Portlandf-from
the city of achievement to the city Of
opportunity the Spokane, Portland
and Seattle railway is literally a
highway of steel on roadbed of
rock-where low grades and light
curves are sought at two to four
times the expense ever lavished on
a western railroad.
At places in the Columbia canyon
the long limited electric lighted
trains are in three tunnels at the
same time.
1t is a. wonderful all day ride of
nearly four hundred miles from
Spokane to Portland over the North
Bank road. Leaving Spokane at s

across the beautiful Spokane river
with its broad stream of clear shin
ing green water with its long rifles
of foaming rapids--the Bride of the
Mountains and most beautiful river
of Washington. The red buildings

CLEAN through the dark firs and the
train swings on easy curves over
deep gulches down Hangman Creek,
where in early days General Wright
hung fourteen Indians who had, got

Indians are like white people-there

they had to be given summary JUS

Indians.
Thirty miles out the road passes
along the high rocky banks OF
Calvert Lake, deep blue waters
several miles long, fringed with
pines, their golden trunks reflected
In its bosom. 1t was known as Tule
Lake in early Indian history and
here General steptoe and his troops
battled with the Indians In 1855 to

Lafe Pence Has an Idea.
Divorce Uncle Sam from the Ii
quor business by ratifying the in
come tax amendment and applying
the receipts from that source to take
the place Of the internal revenue
taxes
This Is the scheme which .T,afer
Pence, orator. capitalist, student Of
political economy and former repre-
sentative from Colorado, is booming
He started the ball rolling by secur-
Ing an endorsement Of the plan from
the conference OF the Christian
Church Of Pittsburg. and now he is
In the midst Of a campaign to put
his idea before the country.
Pence wants the states to ratify
the income tax amendment to the
constitution and then 60 on record
as favoring the adjustment Of the
present internal revenue taxes on
liquor. He declares that this WIN
solve the question of the rights of
the states In dealing with the liquor
problem. Pence argues this way:
The internal revenue taxes on
LIQUOR were levied originally way
back ia the reconstruction period af-
ter the ciyii war. 1t was intended
to replenish a depleted treasury.
When enacted, the idea was 10 make
the taxes only temporary. President
Lincoln only assented TO the levy ON
this understanding. But Lincoln died
from an assassin's bullet and for
some inscrutible reason the law was
never repealed. Uncle Sam has been
making money out Of the whiskey
business ever since. 1t is good
source of revenue In these times
OF billion dollar congresses the gov
eminent couldn't afford to lose as
tidy sum as the distillers and brew
ers pay into the treasury.
The distiners and brewers aren't
anxious to have the levy repealed.
Uncle Sam gives them q measure OF
protection against the enforcement of
certain state laws In return for the
tax. They are willing to pay ii.
Pence proposes to solve the prob
tenn BY repeating the measure and
substituting as a revenue producer
the income tar. He has figured out
that this will more than cover the
receipts which the government gets
from the internal revenue taxes.
He contends that II will give the
states a free hand in dealing with the
liquor problems.
The former congressman Is PLAN
ming a non-partlson campaign OF edu-
cation to put his plan before the peo-
pie. He win head a delegation which
viii meet Roosevelt and try 10 get
him to endorse the scheme. He also
viii seek the approval Of William
Jennings Bryan.
