GALLOWS OR OLD AGE?
Possibilities OfTi-rcd James Flni'li by
Modem Law Procedure.
Salem Statesman: Will "Jim" Finch.
the murderer of R. B. Fisher, hang
or die of old age?
He Is 38 years old now. If his
trial comes up In December, It will
consume several days. If convicted
and sentenced to hang, the judge
will give him 60. days for time of
execution. - The supreme court will
issue a warrant for his hanging some
time during the last 30 days of the
time stipulated.
Then there will be a motion for
appeal, which must be granted.
Thirty days are given In which to
send a transcript . to the supremo
court. ,
After the transcript is filed 20
days are allowed to file an abstract.
After this 10 days are allowed to
file a brief.
Following this 10 days are allowed
to file an answer.
Finch Is then given 10 days more
to file an answer.
Then the state puts the case on
the supreme court docket.
Cases in the supreme court are
now set tor six months ahead and by
the time the case of Finch gets on
the docket there Is no telling how
much further ahead they may be
set.
So the question arises will Finch
hang or die of old age?

The Ways and Means committee of

dally sessions for some t'me. wll
complete its t'lriff revision hearing
tomorrow, and will Immediately be
glu work on Ita report. It Is not ex
pected that definite action will be
taken to change the tariff law dur
ing tho :e;:Blon of Congress open
lug next week, but that this will be
left for a special session to bo called
by Mr. Taft immediately after his
inauguration next March.
Among those responsible for the
assertion that tho coming congress
will not take up the subject of tariff
revision Is Senator Hale, who speak
as one having authority. Nor dws
ho believe that tho congressional
monetary commission, of which he is
member, will soon be ready to ad
vise- any radical changes In the na

Speaking of Immediate tariff re
vlsfo-n, Senator Hale gaid: "Owe In
while you will hear such a sugges
tion, but It Is clearly out of th
iuo8tlon and It will not be under
taken. And, It Is safe to say that
there will not be any radical changes
when the much talked of revision Is
made.
"Recent events have made, It cer

country does not expect or court any

IS THERE HONOR IN OREGON?
(From the Oklahoman.) I
Is there honor among men In Ore-
gon? We shall see what we shall
see.
In the Oregon primary election of
last June, held under a law similar
to the one in this state which re-
uires all asplrantB for public posi
tion to go before the people with
their candidacies. Governor Cham
berlain, a democrat, was the choice of
majority of the people for United
States Senator. At the same time,
the candidates of both parties for
the legislature were selected, pledg
ing themselves to be bound by the
ill of the people, as expressed at
the polls, In naming the senator.
n the recent general election, the
republicans elected a majority of the
members of the Oregon legislature. A
legal way is open, therefore, by
hich that party could, if It can In-
uce a majority of the newly-elected
legislators to violate their oath and
Ignore the will of the people, name a
republican for the United Stntes sen-
torshlp in place of Governor Cham
berlain, the democrat. -
And the amazing thing In this con
nection Is that a well-organized
movement Is on, Inspired and di
rected by the republican machine or
the etate, to prevail upon the legis
lators to violate their oath, ignore
their Instructions and name a re
publican for the place Instead of
Governor Chamberlain.
Our United States senators, you
now, are chosen by the legislature.
The people, a majority of whom ex
pressed a preference in the primar
ies for Governor Chamberlain over
the republican aspirant, have noth
ing to say In the matter except as an
advisory capacity. And so there is
nothing to prevent the consummation
of this disreputable and thoroughly
disingenuous scheme to thwart the
popular will except tho pledge of the
leglAlor8 their honor as men.
uui it is inconceivauio mat man
hood Is at such low ebb In Oregon
that a trick of this character can be
scucessfully practiced upon tho peo
We shnll refuse to believe, until
we see it with our own eyes, that
republican members-elect of the
forthcoming Oregon legislature are
craven, contemptible curs, lost to all

About $00,000,000.
Tho Bureau of tho Census has JiibI
Issued a report giving tho results of
the second census of tho express butil-
ess. Tho statistics pi-osented cover
o fiscal year ending June 30. 1907.
(oxropt in tho case of a few reports
men cover the calendar year), and
elate to those express companies,
lilch forward freight and valuables
over somo steam, electric, water, or
stage line, and which do business In
more thnn one town.
In 1907 there were 34 express
companies as compared with 18 In
0. Only 10 of the companies re
porting In 1890 were In exlstunce un
der the nine name In 1907; the re
maining S companies have gone out
business, have been absorbed by
ther companies, or are operating
nder other names.
The total express mileage has In
creased from 174,059 miles to 235,-
u;i miles, a gain of 35.5 per cent
Both the mileage operated over rail-
oaus and that operated over wa
ter lines show large gains, tho former
aving increased from 180,122 to
16.973, or 35.5 per cent, and th
hitter from 10,882 to 17,796, or 63.6
t cent.
Ninety-one ier cent of tho total
mileage In 1907 is operated over
stenm railroads, 7.5 over steamboat
nee, nine-tenths of 1 per cent over
lectric ronds, and five-tenths of 1
per cent over stage lines. Fourteen
companies report the use of electric
ronds for express transportation; and
of these, 5, operating 205.30 miles,
so such roads exclusively.
The M'atllug Companies.
In 1907 ns In 1890 the express
business was dominated by the fol
lowing 6 companies; Adams, Ameri
can, Pacific, Hon I hern, United States
nd Wells, Fargo & Co. Tho last
mentioned loads in tho amount of
mileage opornted, with tho Ameri
can Express Co. a close second. These
leading express compnnicB oper-
ted 92.7 per cent of the totnl mlle-
ge In 1 890, and 87.6 per cent In
907. Tho decrease in tho percent-
go Is accounted for by the Incrense
the number, and consequently In
he mileage, of smntl companies and
departments of rnllroads, and hy the
nciuslon at the present census of
mileage opornted In Alaska and Porto
lllco, territories which have been op
ened to tho oxpress business since
890.
The Issuing of financial paper wnB
a comparatively new extension of the
express business In 1890. At that
time thero were 6 companies issu
ng money orders as compared with
:i In 1907. The number of money
orders Issued has Increased from 4.-
598.567 to 14.014,960, a gain of
204.8 per cent.
In addition to tho money orders
issued In 1907, which had a total
value or 1147, 340. (150, express com
panies Issued 792.737 travelers'
cheques nnd letterB of credit, of
vnlne of $20,828,932. The total
value or nnnnclnl paper issued by ex-
proBS companies, $168,176,688, Is
29.8 percent of the vnlue of domestic
and iiitcrnnt!onnl money orders Issu
d hy the United Htntes postolllce de
partment. The vnlue of all kinds of
financial pnirer reported by the Am
erican Hxpross Company was $81,-
018.041, or nearly hnir or tho total
for all companies.' On the basis of
a nominal par vnlue of $101) for the
shnres of Interest, the combined cap
italization Is $l8,853,200.
The total rocoipts of all tho ex
press companies amount to $128,-
17,176, of which 97 ier cent is re
ceipts from operation nnd 3 per
cent receipts trom other sources.
Over 90 per cent of the total recelptB
represent the receipts of tlte 6 lead
ing companies. i
The two Important Items of ex-
lense in the express huBltieMs are the
amounts pnld to steam rondB and the
saluries and wages, which In 1907
were $56,378,349 nnd $39. 631.754,
respectively, and together constitut
ed, as In 1890, over 80 per cent of
the reported operating exirenses.
That the relationship of the ex
press companies with each other and
the raiJways is close Is Indicated by
the fnct that on Juno 30, 1906, rail
way companies held $20,008,000 of
express company stock, and exprOHS

way stock and $12,234,000 of rail
way bonds, and $11,618,125 at stock
of other express compnnles.
Tho contract between a railway
and an express company usually pro
vides that tho express company shall
not make a rate lower than 160 per
cent of the freight rate on the sarue
artlclo. Of course, the railway, re
ceiving an agreed percentage of the
total earnings of express companies,
profits by high express rates, which,
moreover, Insure the railway freight
business freedom from a possible
competitor.
How Rntes are Fixed.
To determine the charge on a ship
ment of merchandise a graduated
scale Is employed, wh.leh applies to
matter weighing less than 100
pounds when the rate Ib under $2
per 100 pounds and to matter weigh
ing less than 50 pounds when the rate
Is $2 or more per 100 pounds. When
the value of any merchandise ship
ment exceeds $50 an additional
charge Is made on the declared value.
Next Jin imiiortance to the graduated
scale is what are known as "general
sieclal rates," which cover shipments
of perishable matter, Buch as but
ter, eggs, llsh, meat, vegetables, etc.,
and are lower than the rates on mer
chandise per 100 pounds. The price
In a given case is found by multiply
ing the weight by the rate, with a -designated
minimum charge, usually
35 cents per 100 pounds. The
charges on currency are made by
menus of graduated tables In the
same manner as the charges on.
