feasance In office Is the charge made
today against Frank .C Jordan. Secre
tary of State of California, in a unanl
mous report of the Joint legislative
committee which investigated the pay
mcnt of fees Into his department. The
committee reported this morning and
recommends that the case be put In
the hands of the Attorney-General.
The collection of money for copies of
automobile registrations furnished to
v Insurance companies and others during
the time Jordan has been at the head
of the department is the basis of the
- finding against him.
Imsuarity Folate Oat.
According to the report, the invest!
patlon brought out the fact ht&t at
least 17700 was collected In this manner
during the If months of Jordan's in
cumbency. and thai none of It was
turned into the state treasury, where
It should properly have gone.
The committee report declares that
' Mrs. Anita A. Brewer, stenographer In
Secretary Jordan's office, sold carbon
copies of dally reports she made on
behalf of the Secretary of State to th
State Controller, and that the practice
was carried on "with the knowledge
and consent of Frank C. Jordan, who,
in some instances, solicited certain per
sons or corporations to purchase said
reports."
The information furnished In this
way. the report says, was valuable to
those who were willing to pay for it,
only when obtained on the day that the
applications for motor licenses were
filed, and it is charged that the orlg
inal records were taken by Mrs. Brewer
into the private office of Secretary
Jordan on the day that they were filed,
in order that the public might not see
litem.
Jordan's Son Involved.
Similar conditions obtained In the
branch office of the registration bu-
reau in Los Angeles, conducted by Jor
dan's son. Frank M. Jordan, where ap
proximately szioo was collected in a
similar manner, according to the report.
No action was taken on the report
In either house. It was ordered printed
in the journals of the Senate and the
Assembly and will be considered tomor.

which also made an Investigation into

will report Its findings to the Governor.
After reading the report of the legisla
tive committee. Secretary Jordan said:
uy menas may rest assured that I
will be ready to meet any legal steps
mm may De iaicen in mis matter, and
I do not fear the outcome. The testi
mony does not warrant the conclusions
of the committee, and statements made
in tne report are not warranted by th.
records.
con Short Line owns 112.134,200 in pre
ferred and S7.206.400 in common stock
of the Baltimore & Ohio: that the
Union Pacific owns S10.343.100 of Chi
cago Sc. Alton stock and 322,600.000 of
Illinois Central stock and that tne
Oregon Short Line owns 317,857,100 of
New Tork central stock.
Inasmuch as the relationship between
the Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line
and O.-W. R. & N. Company is af
fected only through stock ownerships,
he contended, the ownership of stock
in these Eastern roads would make pos
sible a closed through route from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
At a brief session last night S. V.
Carey. Assistant Attorney-General for
the State of Washington, introduced
witnesses to show that the lumber In
terests of that state are vitally affected
by closing the Spokane and Silver Bow
gateways.
Before the session closed Clyde B
Altchlson. State Railroad Commissioner
for Oregon, said, as a matter of rec
ord. that the Oregon Commission Is
opposed to the closing on the theory
that it wants all through routes to
remain open. He said that he spoke

association want competition eliminated
in that way," replied Mr. Donaldson.
Mr. Scandrett inquired at length re
garding the history and purposes of
tne Lumbermen's Association and Mr.
Donaldson told him that one purpose
was to co-operate in securing redress
-in matters like this."
"Have you any other purpose than
to harrass the railroads?" Mr. Scandrett
asaea.
"I don't like the term 'harrass.' " re
plied the witness. "We intend, though,
at all times to defend ourselves from
railroad encroachment."
"Well, is your object then to elim
inate competition?"
"Not that I know of."
It Isn't to Increase competition.
IB It I
"I hope not."
"There are two reasons, then, for con
testing this case," suggested Mr. Scand
rett, "the matter of service and the mar
ket for car material."
"There is the further reason of want.
ing through rates. We think every
av&uaoie reaa-t tween two given
points should be left open to the ship
per." Importance of Industry Given.
To show the Importance of the lum
ber Industry In the Northwest, Joseph
N. Teal, attorney for the Protestants,
asked Mr. Donaldson to state the annual
production of lumbet in Oregon and
Washington, which the witness said Is
4.000.000,000 feet, or 160.000 cars. Of
this aggregate, approximately 120,000
cars move by rail. Eighty per cent
of Oregon's tonnage, he said, consists
of forest products. Fully 84,000 people
of the state are employed in the lum
ber industry.
, J. II. Lothrop. traffic manager for
the Portland Chamber of Commerce,
said tnat his organization objects to
the gateway order on the grounds that
It wants all possible competitive routes
to remain open to shippers. He said
that some of the Colorado roads are
contemplating cancelling the through
rates to and from the Northwest it the
Commission allows the gateways -to
close, but would not give the authority
for his statement.
J. C. Robinson, traffic manager for
the Northwest Fruit Exchange, ex
plained that fruit must have a wide
range of market and that by closing the
Denver gateway the fruit industry of
the Northwest will be deprived of a
market at many points east of that city.
He said that It Is essential to the fruit
industry that through rates be contin
ued In effect so that "tramp" cars may
be allowed to move from point to point
until their contents are sold.
All the witnesses said that the roads
east of the Missouri River will be
unwilling tq furnish cars for the North
west unless they get the long haul.
This condition, they declared, will bring
about car shortages.
W. H. Garrett, of Omaha, assistant
general freight agent for the Union
Pacific, testified yesterday morning,
giving as the reason for closing Che
Denver gateway the belief of the Har
rlman officials that they are entitled
to the long haul on all business which
they originate or for which they fur
nish the market. He said that superior
service can be rendered the shippers
If they are not required to Interchange
cars at points intermediate their
termini.
For the purpose of showing that if
:he Harrlman lines are justified In clos
,ng the gateways at Denver and other
points they also, would be justified In
closing them at Council Bluffs and
Kansas City, Mr. Teal read Into the
record, from the Union Pacific annual
reports, the statements that the Ore-

key engines, locomotives and logging
cars.
The mill is one of the most modern
on the Coast and has a capacity oi
100,000 feet every 10 hours. When all
the plants are in full operation it will
require about 250. men. this In Itself
Is an Item of no small importance to
the present residents o fCarlton, who
have long waited the time when this
large plant would resume operations.
PUBLIC LANDS NOT

Borah Finds Little Chance of
Relieving Congestion '
of Large Cities.
HARDSHIPS ARE MUTUAL
Persons on Public Domain Suffer
Almost Equally With Those Who
Are Chafing In Overcrowded
Centers of Population.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 10. The administration of
the public land laws Is scathingly ar
raigned in a letter written by Sena
tor Borah, of Idaho, to Samuel Fried
man, -chairman of the American Anti
Congestion League of New York City.
Knowing the Senator's interest in de
veloping the West." Mr. Friedman
wrote him asking his co-operation in
the work of the league in diverting to
western lands thousands of people
now crowded into the large and con
gested cities of the East. The Senator,
in reply, assures Mr. Friedman that it is
useless to take up his plan until such
time as the theoretical conservation
ists untie the . resources of the West
and provide some place and means for
the settler to make a nome. 'His letter
Is as follows:
"I am in receipt of your letter In
which you describe the condition of
the congested districts In New York
City and ask- for assistance to send
these people into the states that they
may aid in 'developing the large tracts
6f uncultivated lunds.' I certainly
sympathize with these poor people. I
have seen enough of their condition' to
know how miserable It is. I am more
than willing to give any aid I can in
a practical way to relieve tne situa
tion.
Poor People's Chances Small.
"But In dealing with so serious
matter we ought to be practical as
well as sympathetic. I doubt very
much whether, under present condi
tions, it would be wise to send these
poor people into the West to aid in de
veloping the large tracts of unculti
vated lands. '
The situation In which we find our
selves in the West at the present time
does not justify us in transporting
poor people to public lands. It re
quires, under the present administra
tion of public land laws, men of wealth
to get a home on the public domain. I
do not desire you to understand that
I am writing this letter in a spirit of
captious levity, but New York City and
other Eastern cities are greatly 'con
gested' with a class of people who have
been actively engaged in tying up the
public lands of the West for the last
10 years. Thousands and thousands of
acres of agricultural lands are in the
reserves, and as a practical proposition
are not open to settlement.
vv hile the law technically permits
settlement, the operation and adminis
tration of the law is such as wholly
to discourage people from the attempt.
It nas come to be that every man who
undertakes to acquire a piece of pub
lic land is looked on with suspicion.
Impeded and embarrassed by procrasti
nation, technical objections and
strained construction of the law. Hun
dreds of settlers on our public domain
are enduring hardships almost equal
to those of your own people, and for
the sole reason that the Government
of the United States, instead of aiding
and assisting the bona fide settler,
throws about him almost every con
ceivable embarrassment.
People Driven to Canada.
My files are full of letters from
homesteaders who are at a loss to
know how they shall ever be able to
acquire title and stand out against this
delay and constant embarrassment.
"Statistics show that at least 100,000
of our people are going into Canada
every year for no reason, in my judg
ment, other than the manner in which
our public land laws are administered.
It may be that we are approaching a
change. It may be that the -East, in
her congested condition, will see the
common sense and common justice of
opening up the public lands to every
bona fide settler, every man who goes
there in good faith to acquire and
make a home, and to aid him Instead
of retard him in his effort.
If the new era is at hand, then I
can say to you that you can flndJiomes
for thousands of your people upon
lands which will make most desirable
farms and upon which families may be
reared with accompanying prosperity
and happiness. But before you send
your friends West, out of mercy to
them I suggest that you join with some
of us In an effort to stop this ever
lasting hounding of people who are in
gooa raim trying to seme up me uuw
worthless lands of the West.

a Pleasure
Why dread a transcontinental tripf
Such a trip can be made with comfort
and pleasure
Nowhere else in America old globe trotters say nowhere
else in the world is there a scenic tour to compare with the
Canadian Pacific.
'
This is the only transcontinental line without a desert, the
only streak of wonder-trail on earth where chain after chain
of mountains merge. It's the birthplace of the hills, and
Cascades, Sierras, Rockies, Selkirks, Spillemachene, Otter
tail, Beaverfoot and Van Horne Ranges merge and lap for
700 miles of wonderland.
The high standard of its service, coupled with the above
facts, has made the Canadian Pacific the Popular Route
