The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-10-21

Stevens county has not received
any encouragement from the state
railway commission regarding a re-
duction of freight rates on the s. F.
and N branch of the Great Northern.
No, we have not even heard from the
railroad commission regarding prob
able decision, although the hearing
was on June 5.
Washington is republican state,
controlled largely for that reason by
the Jim Hill interests, by the liquor
interests, and by the moneyed in
terests which contribute to the sup
port of the republican party at each
state election.
Practically all of the commissions
of this state are made up of repub-
licans. The commissioners salaries
are quite ample, and any man likes
to hold good job.
Whether the state railroad commits
sion is working for the people or for
some other interested parties or for
themselves is purely matter of
speculation among lots of people.
Among others it is a matter of belief
that gubernatorial appointments in
Washington have for many years been
merely a matter of politics, not nec-
essarily tended to benefit the public.
The Examiner knows that some
thing is lacking in the state admins
tration, or Stevens county and north
east Washington would not be COM
PEELED to continue paying 80 per cent
more freight rates than any other
like section of this state. However,
the Examiner editor has never voted
to keep the present Olympia bunch
in office. Others in this section have,
and we are all paying the penalty.

Taft says he wants to be judged
by what he has done. Does
he want to be judged by what he
did in reference to Pinchot and Bal
linger? Does he want to be judged
by the laudatory remarks he made
in reference to Senator Aldrich?
Does he want to be judged by his ac-
tion in the Controller Bay matter?
These are some Of the matters he has
"done." and to considerable extent
done" the people.

Have you wondered at the recent
high prices of sugar? And did some
republican enthusiast explain to you
that the sugar bugs were very bad
this year, causing shortage of
crop, which demanded higher price
for sugar. Or have you concluded
that President Taft's CUFF about
trust busting is the same brand
which has been handed you for many
years?
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-10-21

For two years President Taft has
promulgated the idea that Alaska
was not fit for self-government-that
congressional and presidential ap-
pointments handle the government
of the territory. Now, on his western
trip, he announces that Alaska should
have partial self-government.
1t being evident that the next
congress will be strongly democratic,
the president would rather have
Alaska handle it's own government.
Politics are considerably stronger
than principles at the White House.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-10-21

in the case, don't you expect to pay
more to the trusts under repub-
licanism than you would have to
under a democratic presidential ad-
ministration?
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-10-21

Governor Hay is to make another
trip into northeast Washington the
latter part of this month. 1t is to be
hoped that all Of the fourteen men
who attended his banquet here last
spring will again come out and see
the governor If he comes to Colville
again.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-10-21

President Taft is demanding to
know, with great bravado, what
single case of combination in re-
straint of trade which ought to be
condemned could not be reached
under the supreme courts interpreta-
tion of the antitrust law in the
Standard Oil and tobacco trust cases.
There are few who care to take
issue with the president. The aver
age man believes that the trusts
could" be reached If the government
would set out in good faith to reach
them.

Preliminary arrangements have
been completed for the organization
= of the Federation of Commercial
Clubs of the Inland Empire, designed
to take into membership every board
of trade, commercial club or similar
association in eastern Washington
and Oregon, north and central Idaho,
western Montana and southeastern
British Columbia, an area of 10000
square miles. R. j. Maclean, sec
retary of the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce, who has been appointed
acting secretary, will call an organi-
zation meeting of delegates in Spo-
kane soon to perfect the details Of
the plan.
The purposes of the federation are
to work unitedly for the best inter-
ests of the Inland Empire and to en-
courage the settlement and develop
ment of the agricultural districts and
assist in locating prospective home
seekers in all parts of the Inland EN-
pire by employing plan that is
broad and liberal In scope and help
full to every community in the
country.
Concerted efforts will be made for
desirable settlers and the influx Of
money for development purposes, but
primarily the plan is to exploit mixed
farming and to encourage those al
ready engaged in agriculture to de-
vote more attention to cows, hogs
and poultry, for which the people of
the finland Empire now are sending
millions of dollars annually to neigh
boring and middlewestern states.

of DR.. Hill says: II know Claude E..

CLUB WOMEN GET
THE DATE CHANGED
Next on Lecture Course Will
Be Edward A. OFT.

Members of the Hammond Woman 3
club were delighted today when they
learned that their last and best lecture
in the course would be given next Sat
urday evening instead of Friday even
ing. April 14th. which is Good Friday.
When the lecture course committee
discovered that it had set aside Good
Friday it began at once to negotiate
for another date. and through the eff
forts of Mrs. Sawyer, the Lyceum bu-
reau finally agreed to another permit
Edward A. OFT will speak in Hammond
next Saturday night. His subject will
be Sour Grapes and the way he
handles IL are said TO be one OF the
strongest attractions on the 1yceum
stage.
The lecture course committee feels
satisfied that Mr. OFT will produce the
best number of the course.
In changing the date the committee
responded to the request of many
patrons who wanted TO hear Mr.. OFT,
but who, on account of the fact that 1t
would have been on Good Friday and in
holy week, would have declined to go.

Fifteen New Cases.

Fifteen cases were filed in the Lake
superior court yesterday. This is the
largest number that has been filed in
Hammond in any one day for long
time and indicates that the establishing
of the extra courts in Hammond will
take a great deal of business there.
OF course, that have been times
when attorneys representing real es-
tate firms or a corporation would come
into court and file large number of
cases. but there were more mfscellan-
eous cases filed yesterday than ever in
the history of the Lake superior court.

sonal Injury Suit.

Crown Point. Ind, April 4.--The case
of Goodrich VS.. The Hammond Garage

Calumet avenue last July he being
thrown from the machine by a COLI
sion with a machine from the garage
Of the Hammond firm. A jury was
secured by noon yesterday and the TAX
ing of testimony commenced during
the afternoon session.
DR.. Goodrich was placed the
stand and AYERS he has been seriously
ineapacitated from the performance OF
his professional duties through the ac-
cident which he claims was done
wholly through the negligence of the
company's driver. No little amount of
interest in centered in the case, espe-
cially among automobile owners and
jury may establish a precedent In the
trial of other cases of like nature
which may come up for settlement in
the future
Attorney Skunk of East Chicago is
representing Goodrich while w. J. Nc
Aleer of Hammond is representing the
Hammond Garage concern. 1t is ex-
pected the case will consume the great

The village ticket which has been

CROSSINGS ARE HELD

Numerous kicks and comments have
been made by the public lately, regard
ing the way the railroads have been
blocking crossings, especially on Hob
man street This Afternoon this hap
pened again and again and delayed
traffic over fifteen minutes. First an
Erie freight passed and held up the
crossing over five minutes. Directly
afterwards a long Nickle Plate drag
came through and no one could get by
for over ten minutes.
The drag got past the bridge and
stopped for signal They then could
not start again. The crew were asked
to cut the crossing, but no attempt
was made. They tied up two street
cars and about 20 teams. The police
in the future will watch this and If
not remedied prosecutions will follow.

WILL GO FOR HEARING

The village officials of West Ham
mond will go to Chicago tomorrow
for hearing on the temporary injunc-
ton which Judge Peter Fenimore Coop
er granted upon the request Of Miss
Virginia Brooks last Saturday TO stop
all work on the pavement on One Hun
bred and Fifty-ffth place.
Miss Brooks served the injunction in
person. and this unusual proceeding
had the village officials guessing for
some time whether the injunction was
properly served or not, but they finally
decided that she was within her rights,
and accordingly they will appear in
court Miss Brooks gave $1,000 bond.

village election is the only one that
could be legally held.
In other words, If the board of trus-
tees decides that the village election
must be held it practically decides
that Michael Berwanger, Henry Peters,
Carl Helms and Mike Modziezewski
shall compose the next village board.
The law requires that the tickets shall
be filed with the clerk not later than
certain date and that date is now
passed with only one village ticket in
the field.
This makes the complications more
serious than ever.

morning as was thought yesterday.
His sister. Mrs. Mette. stated this
morning that the doctor was not able
to sew up the wounds Yesterday on ac-
count of cuts being inflicted. His skull
which was thought to have been crush

naught more than a very bad bump.
Smith is confined to his nome and
will probably not be able u tie out
for another week at least. No cIews
have been obtained regarding the rob-
