lation and See Friendly Sena-
tors-Railroad Attorney
Examined

Washington, June 14.-Henry I. Oxnard,
the millionaire vice president of the
American Beet Sugar company, testified
today before the Senate lobby committee
that he estimated that he had spent on an
average of $4,000 a year in Washington
for the last 2S years in behalf of the beet
sugar industry.
He declared not a cent had been spent
Illegally. Each year when he was at his
home in Washington he declared he came
to the capital to watch legislation and see
his friends among the senators at the
capitol
Senator Reed asked witness to give
names of senators who were friends.
Most all the senator's replied Mr.. OK
nard
You need not include me in that list, =
declared Senator Reed.
We'll, call Senator Overman one of
my friends, and Senator Cummings, and |
don't know so much about Nelson, said
the witness.
Senator Overman promptly asked Mr..
Oxnard if he had ever called upon him
at his office or house. or If he had ever
attended Mr. Oxnard's entertainments.
Mr. Oxnard replied in the negative. The
committee adjourned until Monday with
out concluding the examination,
Carroll First Witness
John H. Carroll of ST Louis, attorney
for the Hill railroad system, was the first
witness today in the lobby investigation.
His only tariff activity, he said, was
the filing of brief for the Great North
err and Burlington railroads, dealing with
creosote oil.
Il want to say that the so-caled Hill
railroads have no person in Washington
trying to influence legislation he said.
Anselm Void. the Senate printing clerk,
testified about the orders for printing
Sugar at a Glance, an anti-free sugar
document prepared by Truman G, Palmer,
representing beet sugar interests, and cir
culated free under the ffHnking privilege
of Senator Lodge
The committee has developed testimony
on whether Palmer was permitted TO al
ter the document after the Senate had
ordered 1t printed.
Turning to Senator Overman, who had
referred to a previous conversation among
the incident, he said:
Il told you then somebody had been
monkeying with orders here, and | still
think So"

Transfer to Free List of
Iron and Steel Raw

LARGELY REDUCED
Pig Iron, Ferro Manganese and Steel

To Call Upon Alumi-
mum Experts

Washington, June 1.-THE transfer to
the free list of the tariff bill of iron and
steel raw materials, with an estimated
dutiable value of more than 100000 a
year, was approved today by the majority
members of the Senate finance commits
tee. This increased the Senate's additions
to the Underwood free list to an aggre-
gate annual loss of 100000 in revenue.

nue. loss from the free list about ST.

After an entire day spent on the sub
committees report of the metal schedule,
Chairman Simmons announced it had been
widely cut, nearly every item of the
schedule being reduced. To the free list
were added pig iron, ferro manganese,
steel blooms, slabs and billets. On all
finished steel products an average reduc-
ton of 10 per cent was made from the Tn
derwood rates.
Lead, zinc and aluminium were left un-
settled, to be disposed of Monday.
Duty Will Be Reduced
Aluminium will be changed from an ad-
valorem to a specific tariff basis, and the
duty will be- reduced, but it will not be
transferred to the free list as many had
advocated. Aluminium experts will be
called in Monday to go over the COM
mIttee's proposed specific rates.
All structural steel which was made
duitiable al II per cent III the Under
wood bill has been reduced compensa-
tory to the free listing of raw materials,
the average rates being about 10 per cent

on the free list largely because they are
controlled by the United States Steel cor
poration.

tive features of the bill which have pre-
sented such problem would be acted

Remember. gentlemen OF the
jury, that 90,000,000 of the peo-
pie are watching you this day"
Such was the statement of the
prosecutor in his closing address
OF a case now being tried in the
California courts involving moth
ing more nor less than common
prostitution.
We hope it isn't true, although
we must admit that we have
small grounds for hope. This
nauseating case with all it's re-
voting details has been exploit
ed under glaring headlines on the
first page of every daily news
paper for months; it has been in.
iected by INSCRIPTIONS pol
iuicians into the body polite,
even unto the highest; j. bas
been made the subject in che pull
pit-this case of simple prostitu-
tion.
1t has been said that publicity
is cure for all moral deIinquen-
cies. We deny it. Wherein has
the publication of the details of
the case referred to, either by
press or pulpit, raised the stan
dard of morality. or promoted
the virtue of woman?
| With all its faults the Herald
has never been guilty OF giving
publicity to the details of any
case of sexual immortality, and
so long as it continues under it's
present management it never
will. There are some things bet
ter left unsaid. We hope that
soma day congress will be wise
enough to exclude from the mails
all newspapers that publish such
articles, and that the Church will
uncowl every priest that refers
to such from the pulpit. The
virtue of womanhood and the
purity of sexual morality de.
mand it.
THERE'S a higher mission fol
press and pulpit to perform
than that of exploiting the vul
gar details OF sexual immortality

Most men on government
projects have little money and
find themselves unable to buy
hogs and cattle. | believe they
should have a.period OF no pay
ments at all, or of very slight
payments, so that they may be
enabled to purchase stock. for
by so doing they will be the bet
ter enabled to make the pay
ments when they should be
made.
"We want TO be of real service
to those who are real creators OF
wealth We want government
lands to be placed in the hands
Of those who really use chem and
not into the hands OF spec
ulators We are now pressing
right up to the verge OF where it
will be necessary to go some
where else to buy supplies of cat
tie and other meat products.

is matter in which all the pec-
pie of the United States are in
terested
II am going to take up this
question OF patents and farm
units; | don't know who's right,
but l am going to fnd out. !"
In an address at the CONNER
oial club rooms at Boise last
evening President Wilson came
| in for a high tribute at the hands
of the speaker. He spoke of the
president as chief among the
greatest men of the hour; a man
with rare qualities; man with
scholarly atuainments, with a
wonderful capacity to use the
English language; administra-
tive faculty of high order, able
to Judge things as they are, to
! know men and find out if they
are real or not, to measure pub
Llic sentiment; a man with the
deepest sympathy for the public;
a man who understands the
west, OF which he has seen SO
, little; a man who listens well
and accepts wise counsel; a man
whose uppermost thought at all
, times is to do the right thing; a
man whose highest ambition is
to have it said of him that he
served his country.
Secretary Lane said there was
no partisanship at the cabinet
meetings, and it was a satisfac-
tion to him, who had dreamed OF
such a president as Wilson, to
know that his dream had come
true.

LANE PAYS
IDAHO VISIT
Secretary of the Interior
Promises Aid to West
ern Interests.

This section OF Idaho has been
honored by q visit from Secre-
tary OF the Interior franklin K.
Lane, and the people have been
given an opportunity to hear
and pass Judgment on the char
acter of the man who holds in
his hands the key To the pros
perity Of the west. MIR. Lane is
a western tnan himself and every
man in his department. connect
ed with the administration Of
western interests comes from
west OF the Missouri river 1t is
therefore, tn be expected that the
administration of his office viii
be radically different from that
of his predecessor. In MS speech
at Caldwell yesterday Mr. Lane
spoke as follows:-
81 have come to Idaho to visit
its two big government projects
and to see how YOU people are
getting along AS you probably
know. am not unfamiliar with
the west, and the sagebrush
looks good to me. ! have lived
in the west practically all my
life. | suppose the purpose ol
my appointment was to have
someone in the interior depart
ment who is familiar with con
ditions in the west.
Regarding the extension o
time for payments on this prof
ect, | have felt that 10 years il
too short a term. Extra time
granted depends on congress
and the terms of payment de
pend on the statutes to be passed
by congress. Whatever influenc
have will be used with congress
to secure legislation that will
make easier terms for you peopl
on this project
Il favor an extension OF tim
for these payments because
have found that if the highes
} use is made of this land, vol
should raise alfalfa, not to sell
: but to put into livestock. YOl
should make for yourselves ;
