FARMERS WILL PAY THE BILL.

Henry n. Pope, of the Association
of State Presidents of Farmers
Unions. flays the railroad law enact
ed by congress.
He says the bill to grant the four
brotherhoods of trainmen's unions
25 per cent increase in wages will
be evened up by increased freights.
He says the farmers will stand for
a fair wage for labor and capital on
all operations of handling their
products from the farm to the con-
sumer.
He says if the government is going
to fix wages for any one class of rail
road employees, it should fix them for
all classA without favor.
He says the sectionmen, shopmen
and farm labor are far more deserv-
ing of a raise than the big four train
mems unions, already highly paid.
Of course, Mr.. Pope will be ac-
cused by radicals and agitators of
being bought up and controlled by
the railroads. He says:
"All those who work upon the
farm labor from twelve to fourteen
hours a day. The condition of wom-
en- laborers in the field today is
worse than it was during slavery.
Not a word has been spoken by
in defense of the woman
who makes the hay and gathers the
sheaves, and little has been done that
has increased the income of the farm
sr or enabled him to pay higher
wage to his laborers.
But today we find the highest
paid laborers in the world making
.hree times more money than farm
srs. demanding a 25 per cent in
,rease and congress fastening to
heir relief. This increase must in
he end rest upon the backs of the
farmers and will reduce their in
zones, increase their hours of labor,
and call for another levy of farm
mothers from the home to the field"

PUBLISHER ORGANIZES OREGON
NEWSPAPER MEN.

It has remained for an Oregon
publisher to form an organization of
newspaper men for the mutual bene-
fit and protection Of the members.
The membership list will comprise
the dailies in the state outside the
city of Portland.
Philip S. Bates, one of the best
known men in the northwest, pub
Usher of the Pacific Northwest farm
journal and for three years past sec
retary of the Oregon State Press AS
sociation, is the originator of the
idea and secretary and manager of
the Oregon Daily Newspaper Pub
lishers' Association.
Mr.. Bates will buy supplies, ink,
paper, metal, ETC., in large quantities
for members of the association. He
will go into the market representing
twenty or more dailies and will be
able to talk business and demand the
lowest prices on goods. Statesmen
for different houses are already COM
ing to Mr.. Bates and talking in an
entirely different tone of voice from
that used to the lone country pub
Usher.
All papers in this association must
first join the Audit Bureau Associa-
tion of the United States, which will
examine their books and give guar
anteed circulation figures. These
figures, together with advertising
rates based thereon, are placed in
Mr.. Bates hands and he maintains a
continuous aggressive campaign with
all national advertisers for business
He will have in his possession COM
plete data as to guaranteed circula-
tion and rates. Once year Mr.
Bates makes trip east to line ul
the seasons business personally with
agencies and advertisers, many OF
whom he knows from long acquaint-
ance No commission will be charged
on business secured by HIM, the reg
ular monthly dues of the association
covering all expense, except any COM
missions charged by regular agen-
cies.
Oregon publishers are to be con-
graduated on getting into the "big
business class with this kind of an
organization and manager.

PROGRESSIVE JITNEY SERVICE.

The first jitney bus line, operated
in connection with traction system,
has gone into operation at Oak Park,
a suburb of Sacramento. Two large
twelve-passenger motor buses will
operate on schedule in connection
with city car lines, giving and taking
transfers to and from all parts of the
city. These jitneys under regulation
of the city commission will run on
regular routes and hours and give
service to suburban districts not sup
piled with street car lines. They are
put on end being tried out by the
Pacific Gas & Electric Co., which
also owns the street car system.
This is a step forward in the solu-
tion of the jitney problem and will
be watched with great interest.

COMMUNITY PROSPERITY.

Encourage investments of private
capital on equal terms with what is
called public ownership.
The people have a right to full
benefits of both systems, and open
competition is best for interests of
all.
Private capital should not be used
to prevent public ownership nor pub
lie ownership to destroy private in
vestments.
Discourage laws and regulations
that impose hardships on industries
or prevent employment of largest
number at labor.
Leave as much to individual enter
prise and initiative as possible so as
to get the highest efficiency of every
citizen.
Keep down the number of offices,
the overhead expense, and inject as
much business as possible into public
service.
Public expenditures for needed i'm
provements honestly expended are a
benefit to every citizen and to all
property.
Do not pass laws to stop the peo,
pie moving about, spending money OF
doing business with each other on
legitimate lines.
Support the home industry, the
home enterprise and the home mer-
chant as the golden rule of commun-
ity prosperity.

TAKE FROM ONE, GIVE TO
ANOTHER.

In commenting on the socalled
land and loan measure" (single
taxi the Eillsboro Independent says:
1T is promoted by the same inter
ests which at each election have at
tempted to thrust single tax upon the
state. The proposal has always been.
Overwhelmingly beaten, but at the
succeeding election has reappeared
although cunningly disguised. 1t is
in the present bill, and 1t will be in
teresting to compare the names in
the argument for and against the
measure, when it is found that those
in favor are by what might be called
theorists and dreamers, while, the ar
guments against are by practical men
of affairs. The bill, like those re-
ferred to above, appears to have been
drawn on a basis of what its advot
Gates believe it will accomplish. They
show that it will have disastrous eff
fects. Boiled down, the law would
take from the man who has and give
to him who has not. 1t makes no
difference if the man who has ac-
quired it by frugality and industry
and he who has not is merely pay
ing the penalty of his lack of effort.
The bill is not popular in Washing
ton county, where people have found
that industry will do what this law
purports to accomplish, and extended
is perhaps unnecessary"

BALLOT TITLES CONFUSING.

"The Full Rental Value Land Tax
and Homeseekers' Loan Fund
Amendment" is the ballot title for
measures 3O6 and 307. The "Rural
Credits Amendment" is the ballot
title for amendments 31S and 319.
There is danger that these titles may
be confusing. The word 'loan" in
numbers 306 and 307 may lead some
voters to believe that it is the ''Rural
Credits Amendment. Voters should
be very careful in distinguishing be-
tween these two measures on cleo
tion day.
There is the widest possible diff
ference in the effect which the adop-
tion of these two measures would
have. Amendment numbers BOG and
307 is a single tax measure and has
for its purpose the confiscation of
private ownership in land. Amend
ment numbers 31S and 319 is just
what its name implies: an amend
ment giving rural credits or cheap
money to the farmers. The first
amendment, numbers 3O6 and 3O7,
would simply ruin the state of Ore
gon if it were adopted. The last
amendment, numbers 31S and 319,
will build up Oregon by giving the
farmer cheap money with which to
bring his farm up to high state of
improvement and cultivation.
Yes.

VIM. J. CUMMINS IS
PARD0NED BY WHITMAN
Famous Flyer in High Finance
Receives Freedom From Man
Who Prosecuted Him
(By Associated Press.)

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. ga Christ
mas pardon was granted by Governor
Whitman Thursday to William j. Cum
Minis, of Tennessee, who has served
three years and two months of state 5
prison sentence of four years and eight
months for his part in the wrecking Of
the Carnegie Trust company of New
York several years ago.
Many millions of dollars were involv-
ed an the failure of the Carnegie Trust
company, and the affairs of the institu-
ton still are in process of liquidation.
Cummins, who was an official of the
bank, was convicted of having applied
money to his own use in connection with
the operations of himself and some
friends in control of the Carnegie Trust
company, the Van Norden Trust COM
pany and the Nineteenth Ward Bank Of
New York.
Governor Whitman, in a statement ac-
companying his announcement of the
pardon, said that letters and petitions
asking for clemency have been received
from nearly every state in the union.
Virtually the great state of Tennes-
see" he said, has as one man asked
for Mr.. Cummins' pardon, for 1 find
among the petitioners its governor and
ex-governors, its United States senators,
all Of its congressman, practically all Of
its leading merchants, manufacturers,
bankers and many of its judges. 1 find
the senators of several other states,
among them Oscar w. Underwood. 1
find the governors of Arkansas, Ala
bama and Missouri
The governor stated that as district
attorney of New York county he prose-
cuted Cummins and that while he has
never had any doubt as to the prisoners
ha hall ha al &c
reasons for granting the pardon. The
petitioners, who represented high state
and national officials. judges of the fed
eral courts, prominent lawyers, manu-
facturers. merchants and clergymen, all
spoke highly of Cummins as a man and
expressed the belief that his offense
was due in great measure to his ignor-
ance of and ineXperience in banking af-
fairs.
His offense," Governor Whitman said,
was a serious one, but he has been
severely punished. Almost any term of
Imprisonment for a man of his stand
ing would have been a woeful punish
ment and a warning to others. Cum
minis was not a banker and his inexpe-
rience may, In measure, mitigate his
offense, but ii would never do to ex-
cuse men who misuse the funds of
banks simply on account of their ignor-
ance."
The Christmas pardon which Governor
Whitman granted last night reached the
prison in this mornings mail, and was
placed in Mr.. Cummins' hands In the
presence Of Mrs. Cummins and their
daughter, by Principal Keeper Richard s..
Chatfield.
Mr.. 0hmmins spent most of the day
visiting with his wife and daughter. He
planned to leave tonight, but declined to
state where he would spend Christmas.
1t was thought here, however that he
would go either direct to his home in
Tennessee, or to New York

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
ALBANY, Ga, Dec. 22.-George Near
thur. an Albany high school boy, former
ly Of Macon. was badly burned yesterday
while playing Santa Claus for one OF AL
bangs leading grocery firms. A giant
"sand-popper" which exploded at his feet
when thrown by another boy caused
sparks which ignited the cotton trim
ming Of his Santa Claus suit. The flames
quickly ran up the front Of the suit and
ignited the flowing false beard, and be-
fore rescuers could snatch the burning
beard and garments from him the young
man was severely burned on the face
and throat. The injuries. while not con-
sidered serious, are very painful, and
will probably spoil his happy plans for a
holiday visit TO relatives in Macon.

JOE POTTLE IS BELIEVED
SLATED FOR JUDGEsHIP
Consideration of Appointment
to Be Deferred Until After
Holidays However
Especial Dispatch to The JOurnaI1

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. 22.-Con-
sideration OF the appointment OF a fed
erai Judge for the southern district OF
Georgia, vice Judge W. W. Lambdin. de-
ceased. will be deferred until after the
holidays.
~--.ls no formal applications have been
filed with Senator Hardwick or the de-
partment OF justice. IL is the belief here
that a number of sspirants will be urged
by their friends for the honor. Among
those mentioned are Joseph E. Pottle. OF
Milledgeville; Robert J, Travis. OF Sa-
vannah; Thomas ). Fielder, OF Macon;
Charles w. Bartlett. of Macon; Judge q.
A. Littlephon. OF Americas: Judge W.
a LIttleJohnI OF Americas; Judge w.
Strange. OF Statesboro. and several
others.
The recommendation viii rest largely
with Senator Hardwick as patronage
belonging almost exclusively TO south
Georgia The junior senator. however.
will confer with his colleague. Senator
Hoke Smith. and the man upon whom
they unite Will be appointed in all prob
ability
At the time OF Judge Lambdin's ele-
walton TO the bench. Senator Hardwick
endorsed the sppointee, Mr.. Pottle and
Mr. Travis with the statement TO the
president that either Of the three would
prove acceptable TO him. II is under
stood here that the junior senator still
entertains a kindly feeling for both Mr.
Pottle and Mr.. Travis. and on this &C
count their names stand out more promi-
nently than others in the speculation
revolving around the judgeship.
While neither OF the senators have
given the slightest intimation as to their
preference in the present circumstances.
the impression 10 strong that the Mil
ledgevilIe man probably viii be recon-
Inended for the position 1t is pointed
out that his steadfast loyalty to the
president, when he forced the hands OF
his opponents in the Georgia gubernato-
rial campaign. considered in connection
with his recognized ability as lawyer
and his fine judicial temperament, easily
entitIe him TO first consideration at the
hands OF both the senator's. the depart
ment Of Justice and the president Mr..
Pottle has a host OF friends throughout
Georgia, lawyers and laymen, who are
expected confidently to unite in endors-
ing him for the Judgeship. and II Is
believed the character OF these endorse
ments will strengthen the high regard
in which Senator Hardwick and Senator
Smith hold him
During the recess OF congress, for the
Christmas holidays. IL is not expected
that any important move will be made
toward the filling of the vacancy. The
department OF justice now has its hands
full with respect TO judicial appoint
ments. there being more than a half
dozen vacancies to be filled II HIS ever
been the policy OF the departS~ot TO
proceed with caution and elaboration in
its recommendations
