Washington. Jan." 21. 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." -

Hood River. Or.. Jan. 21. 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. -'
. Mr. Marshall, assured me that he bad
no thought of criticising my actions
in the matter. His name does not ap
pear as a taxpayer in Hood River
county. " ... . .
