Like the absent and alien landlord of Ireland who - Impoverished that country and beggared the tenants by, withdrawing the earnings of their labor to squander In the continental capitals of Europe, - Oregon, railway earnings have been taken to build up other' commonwealths and - enable the syndicate managers to buy and loot other transportation lines.. Centralisa tion of railroad control in the money centers of the world must be met and evercome by decentralisation through, all the agencies and Instrumentalities f the state. The state must not only as sume control -and regulate-the railroads now here but the state must enter the field as an active agent to encourage construction of jllnea If necessary. - Stat Xas' Sean Oenerous. ' "For 10 years prior to 1905 this state pursued a policy of extreme generosity to the railroads. Control of all policies and powers of making rates have now 4 been removed to Chicago and New Torlt and conditions tinder which a magni ficent country of 96,000 square miles was awakanlng to Its possibilities have ' been reversed. .Allen ownership has re t su -ed In lack of, local responsibility, and In many Instances Indifference to ' the demands of the shipper and - the necessities of the community. . ' "While taxation had been about , f 100 Ter mile per year less In Oregon than for all the adjoining states, there was - actually less miles or railroad in Oregon- than when this generous treat ment was begun.- The railroads of Oreg6n had been assessed merely nom : .Inally at values -at from 12,600 to $4,600 Ter miie. The reward for this polloy had been liberal construction of lines ' 1n other states with money earned !n Oregon. Nearly $20,000,000 of, surplus earnings had been taken out of this state and used - elsewhere in building new lines or acquiring, old ones. f .". l-'-MV Promises 'Ax Broken. 'lS' ' "A campaign of inquiry was rewarded -... with results in the. way -of promised . construction ' work. Mr. Harrlman In person at. a great banquet given In his honor at the city of Portland in the winter of 1905-6 publicly declared that It would be the policy of his system v to push construction of new lines In Oregon. One of his official representa fives, Paul Shoup, declared: - 1 " 'Now the total expenditures on new lines ana money appropriates 10 we snent on new lines by the Harrlman system In the northwest, so far i ns snnovned,i will for tb years 1905 and 1900 rlch s lotal of not quite $12,000, ooo.' .-i - - - i -:t - . .

"The Harrlman system Is a resident of Oregon. It Is a taxpayer, a property owner and a voter on a large scale. It Is the subject of special attention on the part or the assessors ana tne lawmakers.

Marlborough would take place. Events appear to be moving rapidly In that direction. 1 : At. any moment something may occur which: will be equivalent to a publio announcement that the breach between them has been healed. - You - may have learned from caoied dispatches that they were both at Lady Uickson-Poynder's royal ball. It was the first time since their sepa ration that tha duchess had appeared at a big social function. That, cuupled with the duke's presence was signinc ant enough to set society agog. Lady Dicksoo-Poymler gave both invitations at the last moment ana oy leiepnone. That seems to indicate tnat sne naa received some authoritative hint that It would be agreeable to both. k Anyhow it turned out happily. - When they saw each other In the - ballroom the duke advanced to bis wife and she responded cordially to his greeting. - When the duchess left,' the duke accompanied her in her automobile to Bunderiana nouse. and then, drove off to the Kits hotel where he is staying for tne present. At the Covent Garden opera house a few nights ago the duchess occupied a relations. . Naturally this aroused much comment, sa doubtless It was Intended it snouid. - - ..Will Seenter aoolsty. . . Sunderland House, which, by tha term of the separation agreement, became the oroperty of Hho duchess, has been in the hands of the decorators and furn ishers for some time undergoing a gor- oui reAttinav . At first this was re garded as evidence that the ducheas In tended, atone, to reaume oer piac m a treat hostess. Now It is believed by the wise ones In society, that the prepa ratlona were undertaken In view of an I aooroachlng reconciliation, which had even then been arranged. If so, it la certain that the king has had a hand In It. His favorite role, - that of . the neaaemaker. Is not confirmed to diplom acy alone. I am to.d he promised the fractious couple tnat u tney miui ii n n" ha would attend a ball- at Bunder- land house to commemorate the happy event The ballroom la being nttea up i in sumptuous style. . .. For. a lone time the family of the Duke of ConnaughL the king's brother, have shown a strimng pariiauty tor Americana Thla has aroused strong resentment In certain aristocratic .cir cles, and the matter has been brought to the king's atentlon. In consequence the Duchess of , Connaught - recently received a letter: from her brother-in- law te)ltflger H'was always wiser for a royal laay not iq, snow 100 mucn reference to .people or a nation not her admiration for Americans ne wisnea that In the future she would preserve a more judicious and even balance in respect to the nationality of her friends. SsoaUs Old, Incident. : - ' When she received this letter the I duchess must have recalled an Incident lwhlch occurred between her and Queen victoria shortiy oerore tne- tatters death. The duchess went to dine quiet ly with - her venerame : motner-in-iaw wearing a demi-tollette. The queen's amusement was something which the diiihMi Mven icttiav Ifluvha Avir tm- mendously. With scathing contempt j her majesty turned to ner aaugnter-in-law and said: .., ',-,...,,.,;. :...-..

I don't know, much about American women myself: but I understand they dine In high blouses covered with diamonds while their men come along in tweed suits. It Is to be feared the king's letter to the Duchess of Connaught ... had but little effect on her son.
