HitchcOck's Recommends
ton.

A thunderbolt from a clear sky
could not have caused greater
surprise and CONSERVATION than
did the recommendation Of Post
master General Frank Hitchcocl
that the government should own
the telegraph and telephonelines
of the United States.
Mr.. Hitchcock has beenan out
and-out reactionary, from start
to finish, and to jump from that
position to the most radical of
progressive ideas is a political feat
one seldom sees and one which a
less experienced man than Mr..
Hitchcock could not we'll per-
form.
Even the most progressive of
the progressives has not advanc-
ed so far as to advocate govern
ment ownership of telephone and
telegraph lines, and they look
with surprise and wonderment
at the bold stroke of the post
master general.
That it should create conster-
nation in the camp of the stand
patters is not to be wondered at.
That it has caused uneasiness,
mingled with a feeling of uncer-
tainty as to what policy to pursue
on the part of the president, is
apparent and goes without say
ing. There are a great many peo-
pie, and Mr.. Taft included, prob
ably who have little faith in
Hitchcock's sincerity in this ac-
ton.
He is a flip-fopper whenever
occasion demands it, or whenever
it might prove beneficial toFrank;
hence, in looking for a motive
for his action, they look away
back to desire prompted by sin
cerity to accomplish what he re-
commends, and the inquiry arises,
what does it mean?
IF Mr.. Hitchcock had been an
advocate of progressive princi-
Piles, the recommendation would
have created no surprise. The
most surprised man of all per-
haps. was Mr.. Taft himself, al
though he had a previous sugges-
tion of the intended move before
it was made. 1t is given out that
the cabinet officer had intimated
to his superior his intentions, and
that he was preemptorlly notified
that the administration would
not stand for it. This order was
not only issued by the president,
but backed up by some of the
cabinet officers.
In spite Of this note Of warn
ing, however, the recommends
tion was made and it becomes a
part of the history of the present
administration.
By his action he has placed the
administration in a very embar-
RAISING situation. While the
president cannot stand for the
recommendation, he is in guam
Diary as to what course to pursue.
To dismiss him from the cabinet
would be to invite his opposition
to Mr.. Taft's denomination. To
permit him to remain is to pass
lively permit the recommendation
to become a part Of the admins
tration's policy, which he cannot
consistently do.
Behind it all some look upon il
as very clever move on the
political checkerboard, not in.
tended to promote Mr.. Taft's in
terests in the remotest degree.
In spite Of his 'trust-busting'
claims, it is an open secret thai
Mr.. Taft expects the passive, a
least, if not the active, suppor
of the corporations. The corpo
rations stand aghast before thi'
government ownership recon
mendation, and Mr. Taft find

MONTREAL LOOT WENT
TO CHINESE REBELS

Vancouver, r. c., Feb. 23.-It is
reported that detectives working on
the Bank of Montreal robbery at New
Westminster. in which $3.50 600 was
stolen, have, followed sensational
clues nearly to completion which
point to the fact that most of the
stolen money went to Chinese repub-
licans TO finance the now successful
revolution. The evidence already Sc
cured is said to be so convincing that
there is little doubt but Chinese eth
er did the robbery themselves or en-
gagged white yeggmen.
Practically every discovery of mon
ey since the robbery has been con-
nected with an oriental. Shipments
of large sums of bills and coins are
said to have been traced to orientals
closely associated with the men whose
trail the detectives have been fol-
lowing 1t is also reported that some
bills have been discovered in Chi
nese city which was for a time rebel
headquarters.

whether the two statutes are effective,
or only the more recent one, but
thinks the matter should be left to
a decision of the courts.
Board Program
In view of these circumstances l
think it would be for the benefit of
the immigration movement if the
state board, as appointed by Cover
nor West, should resign as body and
allow this question to be settled be-
fore the state board. as now consti-
tuted takes any action.
II am prepared to forward the gov
ernor my resignation if 1 may ac-
company it by the resignation of the
other members of the board"
The state board of immigration
since its appointment by the COVER
nor, has commenced a board pro-
gram intended to bring desirable set
tiers to locate on the agricultural lands
of oregon. A work extending over
the better part of year had also
been undertaken to secure dependable
facts and data relating to the physi-
cal characteristics. productions and
resources of Oregon. Because of for
mer connection with the government
in immigration work, Mr.. Parks ex-
perience especially was considered of
great value to Oregon.

she overlooked no opportunity to be
bewitching or do wickedly. the sting
was gone in her capable hands and
the audience left the theater after
having laughed through the entire
evening and hugely enjoyed them
selves, judging from the applause.

STATE IMMIGRATION
BOARD MAY RESIGN
CHAIRMAN PARK PROPOSES
NATTER To OTHER MEMBERS
Pointed Out 1t Is Practically Only
Way to Straighten Matters Out
Since Creation of State Agents
Office

Portland. Ore, Feb. 2S.-LeRoy
Park, chairman of the state board of
immigration, has written the other
members of the state board and the
secretary asking them to submit. with
him, their designations to Governor
West.
The recent act of the legislature
creating the office of state immigra-
. ton agent, now filled by c. C. Chap
man and appropriating a sum of S25,-
GOO for state advertising, is said to
have repealed by implication the law
creating the state board of immigra-
ton. This, says Mr.. Chapman, is the
advice he has been given by counsel.
Mr.. Park and Mr.. Chapman held a
conference with Governor West last
week. The governor is said to have
suggested that the best way to settle
the matter would be to obtain a de-
cision from the courts This Mr.
Park is unwilling to do, as the state
board Of immigration has already
spent its own funds in the work it
has accomplished.
Must BE Adjusted.
AS the governor is disposed to re-
lease now the appropriation made by
the last legislature as soon as a prac-
ticable immigration plan is submit
ted to him, it seems the more desirous
that the tangle of immigration acts
be adjusted at once.
The other members Of the board
are Thomas c. Burke of Baper: A.
F. Hofer of salem; W. E. Conan and
John Scott Of Portland. The letter
from Mr.. Park to the secretary Of the
board is explanatory. 1t reads:
"On Thursday of last week 1 had
an extended conference with Cover
nor West II appears that some ques-
tion has arisen as to the present vail
idity Of the act under which the state
BOARD Of immigration was appointed,
it having been suggested that the act
OF 1900 creating state immigration
agent superseded and rendered of no
effect the act then on the statutes and
under which this commission was
appointed. Governor West is not will
