nor as to the need Of a department
of public domain. It is his opinion
that there is not enough to do in con-
nection with state lands to Justify
the organization Of an expensive de-
partment to manage them. It may
seem to,be anomalous that they
should be under the charge Of the
states accounting officer, but they
have really been all along separate

great tax on the auditors time
when the public lands were much
greater in extent than they are now,
and when they were covered with

that he should have ample leisure to
attend to them. #
A NOTABLE OMISSION.
The failure of the governor to
make any reference to the desirable

is thought the more surprising be-

rected to the matter as result OF
the Investigations of senate CON-
mittee during the recess. This com
mittee has not definitely decided
whether to renew it's investigation
with the ampler authority it may now
be given or to make it's report using
only the evidence already accumu-
lated. This was sufficient to indi-
cate that saloons in the larger cities
at all events are quite generally con-
trolled by brewers, and that they cat

and protect an illicit traffic more de-

BUSY ON EXPRESS RATES
Five Big Companies Start Work
ON New Tariffs.

Omcials OF TIE five big express COM
NAMES held an informal meeting yes'er
da,, IN discuss the recent reduction III

Commission to take effect october To- Al
though the commission says that the cut
IN exnress revenues will average about
1s per cent. IL is thought by some OF the
officials that the reduction VIII reaHs
amount 20 o or 30 per cent and VIII
add a burden to their operating expenses
which they will be unable to bear.
The meeting was called by Francis r.
TlarC. first vice president OF the Amerl-

ance included w. VI. Barrett. president
Of the Adams Express Company; u L.
Roberts president Of the Uniteo states
Express Company; 7. w Leary' preslueI'
of the Southern Express Company + o.
Holbrook, traffic manager Of the Weils
Fargo Express Company, and some M
teen traffic men.
Mr.. Flagg said that the representatives
Of the various companies had merely
talked the matter over. and had arrived
at no definite conclusion.
1T will probably not be possible 10 say
anything definite for a couple OF weeks
said Mr.. Flag The new order seems
n be nretty drastic yet | can't express
a valid opinion until we have had an op-
portunity to analyze H. our legal de-
partments are studying the new rates
but so far we have been able only 10
skim bver the surface. After couple OF
weeks study by all of us-particularly our
traffic men-we shall know where we are.
"But | will say this much" he con-
tinued. II think II will be a physical I'M
possibility for us to prepare and put In
shane for the understanding OF our
agents the new schedule OF rates by Octo-
her Il"
President Roberts OF the United States
EXPRESS Company was inclined to take
hopeful view.
The new rates" he said, may not be
as severe when we analyze them as We
feared. But We are going right TO work
to analyze very systematically this new
order. At first the order looked exceed
incly bad. and IL probably is bad. but
lust how bad We don't know and | don
care 10 guess Perhaps in n couple OF
weeks we may be able to say something
definite.
Mr.. Holbrook. OF the Wells Fargo
Company. said
we must take the decision and make
an application Of IT 10 our present bust

We stu seel that il is n very severe re-
duction In our revenues. and one which

bly, do even more than that
President Barrett OF the Adams TX
press Company said that his company
was investigating the new order. but
had reached no conclusion and probably
would not for several days.
II was the general opinion OF the ON
Gals. however. that the new rates would
require careful Investigation with respect
