Representative Polndexter of Washington, having been designated as th one elmon puro In surgent against the Cannon organization forces, hia vote, In favor of the time honored' rule that the minority should elect'' Ita member ' ofv committees caused him to aland forth aa a promt - tient' figure. . - ; ."; r 7. 'j 1 The basis of his action was the be lief, that' the Cannon 1 regulars, had 'raised tha' cry agalnat tha alleged par- tlsanshlp of Rainey and James to throw dust In tha people eyes. ' It waa cited that McCall, Olmstead and Denby were, aa Republicans fully aa partisan aa Rainey and James, es-Democrsts, and i that among tha senate, member not ona was really anything but a Ballin ger partisan. . " roladexter Explains. t Polndexter thus explained his attl tude: . ' '..' ' "7 "It was unanimously agreed that saclj party should be represented on the committee. . This was in the interest of a thorough investigation. The Repub licans, of course, had the right to se lect, and .did select, the Republican members, and the Interests of .tha party ' were thoroughly protected by having four Republican members of . tha com' ml t tee. I do not think the Republican party was responsible " In any way for the Democratic membership and it did not devolve on It to Inquire -into their qualifications. If the Republican organ isatlon ahould have tha right to select Democratic membership, tha purposes of bi-partisan representation 'would be entirely defeated. If tha Republican party selects or controls the selection of the Democratic representation on, a committee, then the Republican 1 party Is responsible for tha minority as- well as . the majority representation "and for tha entire course of the Investigation. Object Zs to Yladloeee. "The manner In which tha rules com mittee introduced tha resolution in the house, attacking tha. forest bureau and yielding time for bitter attack on tne foreat reserve policy.-declaring that Secretary Ballinger was a pure and In nocent man, that he has been slandered and vilified, and that an attafck on Ball inger was an attack on the president, has created the impression that vindi cation rather than investigation -was demanded. j'-' . , ITiorough Investigation Demanded. "Undoubtedly In the public mind some suspicion has been caat upon - the in vestigation. The Republican party is great enough to b above any such sus picion. It cannot afford to encourage It by Interfering in any way with Demo crats representation on the committee, nor by attempting In any degree to dictate who these .members should be. Republican members, some of them, are well known partisans, and there is no danger that any Injustice will be done to the secretary of tliet interior, who ever tha minority members may be. This committee Is not a court nor a jury, u has no Ddwer to render any- Judgment. Its sole Duroofee is to, ascertain the facts In a public Investigation and every encouragement to the ascertainment of the truth should be given. Absolute froedom of representation of both pol ltlcal parties on the committee, whether partisan or otherwise, is in tne inter est of a complete and thorough uncov ering of facts, and for that reason It Khould have been left complete." - CLUB REJOICES OVER r I ', COUNCIL'S ACTfON At the- last meeting of the Alberta Improvement association definite word , was given that the .founcll -had passed favorably on the widening of Alberta street between Union avnue and Four teen tfi street and the meeting was con sequently turned Into a round of con gratulations., ' , t i : Speclul votes of thanks were given the street committee of the club for their untiring work."

To tho Editor of The Journal-r-My attention has been called to an article In your Issue of Sunday, the 16th Instant, in wnicn your corresponaent rrom noon River refers to my actions as county assessor of said county in a manner that I can not Ignore. He refers one "W. H. Marshall a prominent frutt grower and real estate dealer" as fil ing a grievance against my manner of assessing the upper 'valley 'and giving alleged', valuations that I directed a deputynamed Dimmick to place on such, property, and alleging that I di rected Dimmick to assess all property, lii his district, except that belonging ! to the Oregon Lumber company. He further alleges that- Marshall's , 'statement caused a sensation. ! The facts are that, when J found that my "regular deputy for lack of time could not-cover the territory assigned to hirn, I secured the services of Dim-; mlck to, assess the ."upper valley,' con sisting of about one and a half town- ships. '.-: f J Ws ' discussed proper valuations and , I advised him of instructions given the ' regular deputy as to valuations to-be placed on the "lower valley" property, and told him that he should assess property In his territory at a much lower figure, owing to remoteness from market. Dimmick, in fact, set his own figures on those lands which I greatly reduced. f As to the charge that I directed said ' Dimmick to assess all property except that of the Oregon Lumber company, I will say that he asked me what he should do with those lands and I simply suggested that inasmuch as there was but a small acreage In his territory and the large bulk of their lands, were In the territory of my regular deputy, that he might wait Until coming into the office when all could be assessed. Further I will say that I never at any rtime, had any conversation with any person connected with the Oregon Lum-' per company until long after Dimmick had assessed- their lands, he and the manager. of the company having agreed, on most valuations,- i . j I will say that there has at no time beeh any-Intention to discriminate in ahy way for' or against anyone. -' .
