ADMINISTRATION
ATTEMPTS BRIBERY

Some attention has been paid to re-
cent efforts of the Democratic party
to muzzle the press, but the statesmen
who take tricks at the helm of the
ship of state unite in saying the party
is not responsible for the acts of a
few individuals, even though the list
includes members of the Cabinet and
the acknowledgement. In any event
the fact remains that the administra-
ton at Washington has ~sedulously
essayed to secure a strangle hold on
the moulders of public opinion in a
manner that had not been attempted
by any previous administration. The
Wilson administration stands on rec
ord as the first from the time of Wash
ington that aver deliberately tried to
prostitute the press by offering a
bonus for the ~perversion of sentiment
and the construction of opinion. This
act vas in the form of a direct bride
TO western editors. The order evinces
such contemplate that it
is difficult to comprehend how any ad-
ministration could stoop TO the infamy
which, nevertheless, is a fact hat can
be established by reference to the files
of the surveyor-generals office or the
register of lands at Carson City. 1t is
a matter of record. No one has ever
tried to deny it Or to clear the skirts
of the administration of the charge.
Simmered down the statement is that
the Wilson administration was the
first in power to issue a direct order
to all officials of the land office that
applications for patent. all public
printing and all patronage emanating
from that source for the printer must
be given to a publisher FRIENDLY
TO THE ADMINISTRATION.
II this is not a bride we would like
to have another definition than what
is contained in Webster's U~nabridg-
ed, which reads as follows: ITO give
or promise a reward or consideration
to, with a view to pervert the judg-
ment or corrupt the conduct; to hire
for bad purposes; to corrupt a Judge,
a witness or a legislator"
Under previous Republican and
Democratic administrations it was op-
tional with the advertiser to select
his W means of publicity, so long
as the paper was one of general cir
~culation and in other ways conformed
to the requirements of the Interior
Department. If he happened to be a
Republican and, during a Democratic
administration, wanted to apply for a
patent, he had the privilege of adyer-
Using in any paper of his choice. He
was not compelled to p~atronize a
Democrat. The Department assumes
no responsibility for the publication.
The money is paid by the advertiser
and he patent after making
the proper publicity When the Wilson
administration came into power the
first act under Secretary Lane was to
notify all branches OF the land office
that advertising must go to papers
friendly to the administration. This
stands as a matter of record as an
official order and cannot be disputed.
The object of the order was palpable.
The intention was to whip into line
the publishers OF papers in mining
camps and throughout the western
country where the Republican vote
was strongest and it was thought that

part of the Benton county lands
is in the Columbia river valley.

The leasing Of the state land un-
der a plan of Land Commissioner
Savidge to bring to the state a
reasonable return for it's use,
marks the rapid passing of the free
range. In the memory of many
pioneers of White Bluffs, thousands
of heads of cattle ranged the valley

The fight for the preservation of
our rights against the improper
methods being pursued by the
Power company in not carrying out
the contracts originally made with
the farmers of our district is one
that should be continued until a
successful issue is obtained. This
is no time for weakening on the
part of any man who has property
rights in that district. Our con-
tracts are perfectly good in the
eyes of the law, and will be shown
to be good. The only ching that
will make them otherwise will be
the weakening on the part of the

Personally, | am of the opinion
that this fight is nearly over.

an useless and losing campaign as

facts in connection with the i'm
