have TO meet a heavy portion
of the expense. Out of a total
. assessment of a little less than
fifty millions inaUmatilla coun-
ty the O.-W. R. & n. Co. is as.
sessed at approximately ten
millions; the Northern Pacific
at a little more than one mil
lion. 1t will therefore be seen
that over one fifth the tax will
be paid by the railroads.
To some it will seem unjust
to tax railroads in order to
build hard surface roads lead
ing to the open river. But the
railroads do not pay the tax,
The shippers pay it, Umatilla
county shippers through the
rates they pay have to help the
railroads pay their taxes else
where where improvements
are made. 1t is only turn
about to have those other Sec
tions in similar manner help
build good roads in this county.
Furthermore eastern Oregon
shippers have for years been
obliged to pay proportionately
high freight charges because
the railroads have granted
lower rates on transcontinental
business to coast cities than are
granted to inland points. Now
that we have a chance to equal
ize this injustice why not do.
it? The coast cities have never
for a moment hesitated about
taking low transcontinental
rates at our expense.

IMPROVING THE ARMY

- ISCUSSING the action of
u patriotic societies that
have passed resolutions
asking for a strengthening of
the army the New York World
says:
1T is a waste of time to talk
about compelling every able
bodied man between the ages
of eighteen and forty-five to dc
military service. The country
will not give a minutes conSid-
Grafton to such an extravagant
proposition. 1t is also a waste
of time to talk about increasing
the size of the regular army
without making provision for
obtaining the necessary men.
Secretary Garrison is working
on a general plan of army reor-
ganization, and when he has
finished, the country viii hav2
something definite and tangible
to discuss. One thing seems
certain-in order to obtain an
adequate defensive army, the
term of active service of en-
listed men must be greatly re-
duced."
The events of the present
war justify this demand for a
reduced enlisted period. The
soldiers at the front do no
close order drilling and very
little of anything else outside of
trench digging. The training
they have had for war is laugh
able compared with war as
they find it.

SPOKANE. June 26.-The greatest
patriotic celebration ever held in
spokane is being planned on the occa-
sion of the visit of the Liberty bell.
from o'clock a. m. until noon on
Tuesday July IS.
All railroads serving the Inland
Empire having granted round trip
rates of fare and one-third for the
territory Zoe miles in all directions
from Spokane, the event will be par
tieipated in by several thousand peo-
pie from all parts of the district.
Patriotic and civil societies OF
Spokane are in charge of the days
celebration, under the direction of a
general committee of which w. s..
McCrea, vice president of the chamber
of commerce, is chairman. The bell
will be seen at the new union station,
where, arrangements are being made
safely and expeditiously to handle a
crowd of from $4,000 to 1000 peo-
pie.
Throughout the journey of the his
toriC old bell in the state of Wash
ingtoh Governor Ernest Lister will
act as escort. Governor Lister, SEN
ator Miles Poindexter and Mayor Ru-
dolph Blankenburg of Philadelphia
will be the speakers at the ceremonies
attending the visit in Spokane.
The Liberty Bell was brought to
America from England in 1852. In
the colonies it was first rung to call
the assembly together in August,
1853. Its ringing often assembled
the people in the years preceding the
revolution, but its most notable func-
ton was the calling of the colonists to
hear the reading of the Declaration
Of Independence The surrender ot|
Lord CORVALLIS at yorktown in 17SlI
and the proclamation of peace in
1888 We're celebrated by the ringing
OF this famous bell. 1t was rung sew
eral times later, the last time to
mark the death of Chief Justice John
Marshall, July s, 1895, when it sus-
tanned the crack that has silenced it
for all time.
In all probability this will be the
Liberty Bells last journey on account
of the danger of further breakage
from travel

NO >HOMESTEADER GETS
SUCH HELP

n HE individual citizen who
W takes up government
land and fails to comply
with any Of the important re-
quirements of the law general
ly loses his claim. No large
newspapers come to his rescue
with the argument that if the
government will but give him
the land anyway it will be a
good thing because he will pay
taxes on it. No midnight reso-
lutions are passed in his behalf
by the legislature and the at
torney general of the state is
not sent to Washington to in
tercede for him before the su-
preme court.
Why should the status of the
Southern Pacific be any differ
ent from that of the ordinary
settler who disregards the law?
In the case of the railroad the
law regarding the disposal of
its lands was very plain. The
law required that the land be
sold to actual settlers at prices
not in excess of $3.50 per acre.
The railroad refused to obey
the law and held its land for
years for speculative reasons,
knowing all the time the law
carried a forfeiture clause.
But when the lands had been
declared forfeited by the fed
eral court of this state we wit
messed an amazing activity. A
newspaper campaign was made
for the reversal of that decis-
ion and a resolution was slip
ped through the legislature
asking in effect that Judge
Wolverton be reversed.
The supreme court has act
ed by giving a decision very
much along the lines asked for
by the secret resolution. Be
cause the East Oregonian asked
to what extent the supreme
court may have been influenc-
ed by the legislature it is char
acterized by the Portland Ore
gonian as having made a base
suggestion" insulting to the su-
preme court. If it was alright
for the legislature to pass that
resolution hoping to influence
the court why is it wrong for
this paper to inquire if the ac-
ton had any influence on the
court?
This whole land grant deal
smacks not Of justice and
equality under the law but Of
the reign of privilege. No pri-
vate citizen could have secured
such support or such eonde-
cension from those who mould
opinion and handle the scales
of justice. Whenever a great
corporation receives something
that will not be rendered to the
humble homesteader it receives
something to which it is not en-
titled.
II cases like this are TO be the
rule in this country the dollar
sign should supplant the stars
upon the nations emblem.
