RATE BATTLE: TAFT
IT
(Br the International Ntws gervtre.) '
- Washington, Juno 4.- The government
and the railroads are each resting on
their arm pending tha jrellmlnary bat
tle to be waged between President Taft
and the presidents and attorneys of
railroads at tha White House Monday.
The attitude of the railroads does not
warrant the assumption that they are
going to the White House to submit to
the presidential policy. On the contrary
all the acts of the railroads up to data
I have been in direct opposition , to tha
plans of the administration and . to Its
announced ideas .regarding the regula
tion of rates and railroads. y - c ,
The question of the regulating and
the raising of rates in the east is now
clearly 'up . to. the president. It is his
action that is being looked for, and It
is his View which are of special
interest at this time. The attorney
general has. stated . frankly what he
oan do and what are his limitations.
'Evidence Is Sought. , '
The department of justice is seeking
the evidence, by which it can place the
eastern railroads and thHr rate raise ln
the same category as that of the west-
ern railroads. Tha attorney general Is
waiting for: tha evidence. Plenty of it
.was xormcoming in me case or western-
uuroaoi, ina onippero were ttiori in
that instance. 80 far no complaint has
been made in such direct terms as to
warrant the immediate action of the
attorney general. j
It is not likely in fact, that he win
act at all until he meets the president
here cm Monday; : ' ' '
This mach can be said. It is said on
the very highest authority here, the
attorney will assume that there is noth
ing the matter with . the raise in the
eastern railroad rates unless some one
complains to him and shows . good
reason , for the complaint. : .. : .

today in an interview at which all the

the religion of this community, would

' Polygamy, he said, is a dead issue so
far as present conditions are concerned.
But he admitted that polygamous mar
riages' contracted by .the chief saints
prior to the manifesto are still In force.
He declared that, the Mormon church
does not sanction plural marriages to
day, and that while the latter day
saints will believe that the bible sanc
tions polygamy, the edict prohibiting
plural marriages extends over the whole
world, wherever the: church maintains
a mission. .' ' '1

oWauhlngton, June 4.-It is well known
to everyone conneoted with the capttol
that Senator Bourne, unaided . by any
other member of the Oregon delegation
In either house, procured the insertion
and retention of the $400,000 approprla- '
tion for the purchase of the Oregon City
locks. It is perfectly understood, too.
that Hawley, failed to get that Item in
thevHvera and harbors bill when it
was under consideration by the house
ana oerore it went to the senate and
that although, he had been elected large-
ly upon tne pledge that he would get
that item into the bill, it was Bourne
who procured its insertion when the
measure was before the senate.
Hawley Simply Tailed.
As proof of the truth of this asser
tion, it may be cited that after Bourne
nad got the Item into the bill and the
measure had gone to conference, cthe
house conferees fought it and insisted' '
for many days that tile Item nut.
and It was only by the exertion of ex
traneous influence that the house con
ferees were finally induced to sign the
conference report 1 with the; item in
cluded, ''v'-j-.' v .. ; . ..'v
The Intimation here that the Item waa
procured by anyone but Bourne, un
aided, would ' convict the person mak
ing each intimation of absolute dishon
esty. Hawley simply failed to get what
he pledged, either because be could not
command influence enough to do so. or
because the influence of the Southern
pacific Railroad company was against
Most Ukely Because Too Weak. '
The probability Is that It waa because '
of lack of essential Influence, and that
he really desired to redeem the pledge
he made to his constituents.-
The only newsnacer radr who miirl
be deceived into believing that Hawley
got mat item into tne bin would be one
who was ignorant of the significance of
legislative proceedings here or in any
legislature, for the citation of the fact'
that the house refused to Include the
item and the senate consented to include
it would in and Of itself demonstrate
that it waa the senator- who "turned
tne trick." .
i It is understood that some newspaper
editors ln Oregon not versed In legis
lative routine have attributed to Hawley
the credit for getting the 1400,000 item
into the bill. Such attribution, When
learned here, caused amazement '
