NEWS LETTER FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL
State Industrial Commission Called
Upon to Adjust Some Peculiar
Accident Claims

At the next session Of the Legislature
first aid law is to be submitted to the
lawmakers, and the names Of the COM
mission to be appointed to draft this
law will soon be announced by Gov.
M. E. Hay. The Legislature in pass
ing the industrial insurance commission
law struck out this provision which
had been inserted by the commission
appointed by Gov. Hay Hay two years
ago to draft the bill, but the governor
thinks that this measure will be passed
by the next legislature.
The question of the title Of the state
to BIS acres of land in Jefferson coun-
ty valued at $50, 900 has been decided
by the United States Department Of
the Interior, in favor OF the state, &C
cording to a notice which has been
received by the state land office.
The redistricting Of the state for
congressional purposes and the re-
apportionment for the legislature, and
the subject of roads will be among the
important matters to come before the
legislature at its next session, and in
addition the plan Of Gov. Hay for the
loaning of 100000 in the state
permanent school funds to farmers
and land developers Of the state will
also be submitted to the lawmakers.
As a constitutional amendment will be
necessary to put this plan through the
legislature will in the opinion Of Gov.
Hay submit the question to the voters
of the state. Many people believe
that this will solve the logged off land
problem in Washington.
At various times the attention of the
state industrial insurance commission
has been called to some very peculiar
claims against the state made by in
jured peasons. In one instance man
who was looking on while some work
was in progress sought to recover
through the state, while a carpenter
also asked for compensation for injuries
received in his own woodshed while
he was cutting wood for his own use.

According to a statement made by
state treasurer John G. Lewis. most OF
the counties of the state have paid in
their taxes for the present year and the
treasury now contains more than ST.
100000 as the result Of the prosperity
Of the people, which is indicated by
the fact that his records show that the
taxpayers invariably pay up in the
spring to take advantage of the three
per cent rebate, and that compare
lively few take advantage Of the law
permitting them to pay one half OF
their taxes in the spring and the other
half in the fall.

-Four Senators Are Under Charges as
Congress Quits


Congress Quits
When congress finally adjourned
last week it left for future investigation
charges against four United States
senators. These are:
Boies Penrose, Pennsylvania, re-
publican.
Henry A. DUPONT, Delaware, re-
publican.
William E. Chiffon, West Virginia,
democrat.
Clarence S. Watson, West Virginia,
democrat.
Penrose faces allegations OF conduct
unbecoming a senator, in that he &C
cepted $4,000 from the Standard
Oil Co. and submitted to that COM
pany the report Of the federal indus
trial commission in advance OF its SUBJ
mission to congress.
The Philadelphia North American
also is charging that Penrose procured
bis seat in the senate through bribery
and corruption.
Du Point is charged with having
purchased his seat.
Chiffon and Watson are charged
with having secured their seats through
bribery.
Such a spectacle has never before
been known in the history of the coun-
try. Four members Of the senate who
have been voting upon important leg
islation for the government of the peo-
pie have had allegations filed against
them of such serious nature as to chal-
lenge the attention not only OF the
body in which they sit, but Of the en-
tire republic.
In only one case, that OF Senator
Penrose, has an investigation been
ordered. The charges against Du
Point were made in the open senate
months ago by Senator Reed Of Mis-
souri,. They have been slumbering
since in the files Of the committee on
privilege and elections, Of which Sen
ator Dillingham; of Vermont and Lori
mer fame, is chairman.
The charges against Chiffon and
Watson, presented in petition signed
by Governor Glasscock Of West Vir-
GINA and other citizens Of that state,
were read in part in the senate re-
Gently and then, upon motion OF Senator
McCumber, were expunged from the
record and referred to the privilege
and elections committee. Nothing
more will be done about them until
next winter and perhaps not then.
The flibuster against the broadened
Penrose resolution collapsed as result
OF conference OF the leaders of the
old guard, all Penrose's friends.
They were Gallinger, Of New Hamp-
shire; presiding officer of the senate;
Smoot, of Utah; Crane, of Massa-
chusetts: Brandegee, of Connecticut;
McCumber, of North Dakota, and Gull
lom, OF Illinois.
At first it was the disposition of Gal
linger, Smoot, Crane, Brandegee and
McCumber to continue the filibuster,
and thus prevent the adoption OF the
Penrose resolution as amended by
Senator Poindexter, Of Washington.
But Senator Cullom insisted that no
one must be screened and no one per-
secuted. He declared he proposed to
vote for resolution so broad as to as
sure the country getting all the facts.
The adjournment Of congress
means that there will be no meeting
of the investigating committee until
Sept. 80. A week prior to that time
Mr.. Archbold will return to New York.
