Hepburn Has :
Another Sp9S1l

Washington, June 6-Senator Hey
Eburn of Idaho, than whom labor has no
more uncompromising enemy than he
was presented an occasion during the
discussion of the eight7hour bill in the
senate, to air his discounted views on
labor's rights. The senator has an
| inexhaustible supply of vitrolie langu-
age ready for instant use when the
interests of labor are under discussion.
During the debate on the eight hour
bill Senator Hepburn made use of the
following language: There is no cry
ing need for it. If there were, would
! be more patient with the effort, the
super human effort, to legislate on a
subject that needs no legislation.
There is no demand for it except from
the paid representatives of the real
workingmen, and it IS the snap of a
whip. 1 do not recognize the right of
any man or the representative of or
gained men to snap a whip at the
congress of the United States, and it
will be sad day for the government
when it shall be done. l will treat
them as fairly and as literally as l
would the representatives of the big
gest monopolies in the country, and
will not deal with them any more
literally or fairly. l will protect them
against oppression, but l will not al
low them, merely because they think
they have the power, to sit above our
heads and say, We want this leglsla-
ton, and we are going to have it, or
we will see to it that you are defeated
at the polls at the next election "
Further along in the debate the sena-
tor gave tuterance to the following:
eve have now prohibited the sturdy,
robust young men of IL and 13 and IA
years of age from participating in the
support of the families of which they
are members. Why? For the benefit
of those young men? No man will
dare to claim that, but in order to
lessen the supply of labor in the in.
terest Of the agitators. That is why
we did it, and l have not to carry on
my shoulders the sin of participating
in that kind of legislation. merely be-
cause there was hue and cry for it.
There was no demand from the widows
and the disabled people Of the coun-
try who depend upon their children
under the age which we fixed in that
legislation, that we forbid by law
those robust and capable supporters
from performing their duty. There
came to the senate no petition from
those mothers and dependent relatives
and old people asking for that lsgisla-
ton. There were no petitions from
them, and there are no petitions from
that generation represented by the
young men between IL and Is years
asking that they be relieved from the
performance Of their share in support
of the family. Did it ever occur to
senators that we should have heard
through some means from that class
of people? No. We were hearing
from the class of people who limit the
apprentices in the fields Of industry
through selfish purpose of enabling
them more easily to control the field
of labor within their own limits. 1t
came from the same source" Labor
will. remain on the sob" in spite Of
misrepresentation OF the Senator Hey
burn stripe.

Rail OADS PLAcING
ORDERS FOR LARGE

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. Son the
eve of what manufacturers and bust
ness men generally believe to be one
of the biggest Industrial REVEALS ever
experienced in the history OF the coun.
try, the railroads are In the market
for larger amount Of equipment than
at anytime in the last five years, says
the North American. BY the fall 1t
is generally predicted that the rail-
roads of the country viii have in OBJ
Grafton greater complement OF mo-
tive power and rolling stock than they
have ever had in their history.
In the six years between the end OF
1905, considered a banner year in
freight movements, and the beginning
of this year, the average annual out
put of locomotives for the various rail
roads aggregated 1878, while the car

mittee. upon investigation of the Mag
dalena bay project, found that the
Japanese government had no connec-
ton with 1t, they determined that the
Senate should assert its belief that
foreign corporations should not be al
lowed to secure sites In the western
hemisphere that might later be turned
over to their home government for ma
val or military bases.
The resolution was strengthened be-
fore submission to the Senate We'd
nesday by an amendment by Senator
Hitchcock. Not only does It declare
against the possession of these "ad-
vantageous points" by corporations
wholly foreign, but It covers also Am
erican corporations, the control Of
whose stock may have passed into
foreign hands,

traffic passing over it, and head walls
should in all cases be built at each
end Of the eulverts to prevent. them
from being washed out. The maxi
NUNS fill to be allowed over a. clay
pipe culFert should be at least three
feet. The objection to pipe culverts
! is that they become easily clogged and
are thus made useless. Clay pipe cul-
verts are easily broken unless they are
we'll laid and well protected.
The most simple and natural form OF
bridge consists OF timbers laid across
the stream or opening which is to be
Epassed over and covered with planks
to form the roadway. Walls should
be built to support each end of the
tfmbers. and these are called abut-
ments. The width, OF the opening
which they cross IS termed the span.
The timbers- themselves are called
stringers. and the planks are usually
referred to as the flooring.
The size Of the stringers required In
creases with the span and the distance
apart center to center, that they are
laid. For example, a 2 inch by 6 inch
stringer will do. for a two foot span,
while a 6 inch by 10 inch or 6 inch by
IL inch stringer is required for a TWEEN
ty foot span. The distance apart that
the stringers are required to be laid
varies with the thickness Of the plank
flooring and the amount Of traffic:
The weight of the materials in the
bridge is commonly referred to as the
dead load. The additional load which
the bridge is designed to carry Is
known as the live load and consists Of
animals, wagons or motor vehicles or
pedestrians. A crowd Of people stand
ing. close together ON bridge Is usual
" estimated at about 100 pounds per
square foot Of floor space. r.
The strength Of the bridge depends
upon the kind Of timber used, the di-
mansions of the timber, the amount
used and its location. and also very
largely upon the span of the bridge.
For example, assuming loaded wagon
carrying 500 pounds per wheel, a vel
low pine board one inch thick and eight
inches wide. would require stringers to
support 1t about every thirteen inches
apart to carry. the load safely. while a
plank of the same width and two
inches thick would require stringers
three feet apart. and three inch plank
would require stringers about every
four feet apart. These figures are based
upon the assumption that yellow pine,
Douglas ir or a good quality Of oak
would. be used. If such ttmbers as
white pine, hemlock or spruce are used.
then stringers would be required
about every eight inches for one inch
board every two and one-half feet for
two inch plank and every three feet
for a three inch plank.
The following table gives the approx
innate sizes Of stringers required for
the different spans:

STATE RECEIPTS ARE
OVER Sl4,OOO.0O0.

The two years ending Sept. 30, 1912,
State Treasurer Lewis reports aggre-
gate receipts of nearly seventeen mil
lion dollars. This of course includes
transfers from one fund to another
and the like. The actual legitimate
cash receipts for the "a months were
S14, 622, 1874, and the actual net cash
disbursements were Sl1 ,071, 742.
The report shows that one of the
largest sources of indirect revenue,
as distinguished from the money raised
by direct taxation, is that from liquor.
The state gets 10 per cent. OF all lie
cense moneys collected by the cities
and counties and also issues state IL
quor license at $25 per annum From
these sources about S426, 500 cash was
collected in two years.
An interesting feature of the report
deals with the attempt to clean up the
old normal school building debt. Mr..
Lewis says:
The 1909 legislature passed an act
being chapter IS laws OF 1909 author
izlng and directing the governor, state
auditor and state treasurer to issue

Backs to Wall and Dying Hard

1t is amusing indeed to note the
effort of some OF the commissions
at Olympia to save their official
heads. The Argus supported Hay
during the recent campaign but it
has always been opposed to the
multiplicity of commissions which
have marked his administration. Err
nest Lister-one of the few men in
Washington who could have attain
ed success i'll the short time he had
to cover the state-was elected
largely on his promise to give the
state a business administration with
out SO many commissions. Members
of these commissions know that Lis
ter means bushes and that he is a
man of his word. They therefore
are now making renewed appeals TO
the people, hoping they will be able
to explain satisfactorily why they
were born and why they should con-
tinue to live. The public service
commission has taken to sending
out lengthy statements to the week
| ly newspapers. Newspapers that
believe in a square deal and are ac-
uuainted with the methods employ
ed by the would-be hangers-on, are
not printing this explanation OF the
principal functions of the public
service commission.
The public service commission
had an opportunity to explain by
its own works to the satisfaction OF
the taxpayers the reason for it's ex-
istance. 1t failed to do so. Its
members hoped around the Hay
field all summer. Winter is here
and it looks like there is no room
for them in the Lister ant hill
