CHAPTER III.
Sayler draws the Line"

In February the railways traversing
our state sent to the capitol bill
that had been drawn by our ablest
lawyers and reviewed by the craftiest
of the great corporation lawyers of
New York city. It's purpose. most
shrewdly and slyly concealed was to
exempt the railways from practi-
worded that this would be disclosed
only when the companies should be
brought to court for refusing to nav
their usual share of the taxes Such
measures are usually "straddled"
through the egislature-that is. Meth.
er party takes the responsibility, but
the boss of each machine assigns to
vote for them all the men whose
seats are secure beyond any ordinary
assault of public indignation. In this
case, of the 81 members of the lower
house, 80 were assigned by Dunkirk
and II by Silliman to make up a ma
jority with three to spare.
My boss, Dominick, got wind that
Dunkirk and Silliman were cutting an
extra melon of unCc non size. H de-
scended upon the Jol and ID
notice on Dunkirk that the II Dom
mick men assigned to vote for the bill
would vote against it unless he got
$1,000 apiece for them - ST. 900
Dunkirk needed every one Of Dom
inick's men to make up his portion of
the majority; he yielded after trying
in vain to reduce the price All Dom
mick would say to him on that point,
SO I heard afterward, was;
Every day you put me off | go up
thousand dollars a head"
We who were to be voted so profit
ably for Dunkirk, Silliman, Dominick.
and the railroads learned what was
going on-SilIiman went on a tear"
and talked too much Nine of us, not
including myself, got together and
sent Cassidy, member from the Sec,
ond Jackson county district to Dom
mick TO plead for share. happen

Walla Walla, Wash, Jan.

Walla Walla, Wash, Jan. 90
Members of the Farmers Union
hope to see the legislature make a
law which will compel every owner
or manager of a threshing machine
to register with the county clerk the
mum Der of bushels threshed.
Without this the number of bush
els produced is matter of guess
work, the farmers say, and they
think it important that the actual
grain output of the northwest should
be known.
The farmers wish to make this
tri-state affair and urge the passage
of the law by the Idaho and Oregon
legislatures as well as by that of
Washington.
The matter will be taken up for
discussion at the big tri-state farm
ers' meeting here next month.

Colfax, Wash, Jan. 2S.-County
Commissioner Sam Ellis has return
ed from the state meeting of the
county commissioners, held at Van
couyer, Wash. Mark Whitlow of
Whitman county was elected presi-
dent of the state association and was
also made a member of the legisla-
tive committee. He has gone to
Olympia to work in the interests of
several bills the commissioners wish.
On bin will ask that the Office of
county engineer be abolished and the
commissioners given power to en-
ploy an engineer for the county. The
commissioners advocate this bill for
the reason that engineers are often
elected who can not do the work and
are compelled to hire deputies.
The commissioners also ask that
the law be amended to elect commits
sioners for a term Of six years, one
to be elected every two years. Their
reason for the siX-year term being
that they are unable to break in two
new commissioners every two years
without loss of time.
