GUARD THE EDDY LAW.
Representative Smith! of Baker

be special purpose of attempting the
sjtaasal of the Eddy corporation tax

Interest at stake than this.
be on the guard. It has yielded an
Income of over 1100,000 to the state
since It wuu euacted, and every cent
of this Income In paid by corporations
amply able to contribute to the re
sourcea of the state.
Other states have even more strin
gent corporation laws than this. The
Oreuon law Ib very mild. No leKltl-
nmte corpouitlou can find fault wltlr
It.
Why don't the Irrigation compaulc.--that
are being formed constantly In
Umatilla and other Oregon counties
find fault with this tax law? Why
must the wildcat mining companies
be especially exempted from nil the
burdens nf government? They are
not tlu i.nly developers at work in
Oregon. The Irrigation companies
are Ux..is a ten-fold more vital work
for the state, and they are not com
plaining. Tf the mining companies object to
the exactions of this law, let fhem
reduce their 'capitalisation to a legit
imate basis, where the law will be no
bar to operations. The object of the
law is lo make transient, foreign con
cerns, hlulily capltnllr-ed nnd working
on fictitious values, to pay for the
privilege of existing In Oregon.
If they are legitimate, the opera
tion of the law will not hinder them
from doing business and If they are
not legitimate, they will not feel like
meeting Its requirements, and the
quicker the bogus companies arc
weeded out, the better for the bona
fide companies.
Wore- harm; has been done to Ore
gon through the vicious operations of
woid cat milling companies which
have pilfered innocent eastern Invest
ors, than through uny laud frauds
ever perpetrated in the state.
The land thieves have not direct
ly robbed individuals, but the opera
tions of the wildcat mining companies
have robbed poor men, enticed into
an' investment by. the seemingly hon
est representations of bogus promot
ers, until the East looks upon this
state as a den of thieves. Enforce
the Eddy law, and protect the state's
reputation.
It looks us though the long agita
tion by newspapers and prumlnenl
citizens in this city would ut lust be
realized in the organization of a
county fair association. The agricul
tural features must not be lost sight
of in the truck and its equipment.
There is a larger proportion of the
people interested In the agricultural
fair and Its kindred features than in
a straight speed program, in mis
county. The two features go togeth
er, and in order to receive the great
est encouragement and support, and
in order for the organization to be a
pleasure and a -profit to the greatest
number of people, both these features
must receive the fullest attention.
There la no reason why state aid
should not be given to the proper
kind of an organization in this coun
ty. If the agricultural features are
not cust aside for the purely racing
programs, strong Influences can be
brought to bear to make it a success.
If a strictly racing organization is de
sired, the support must necessarily
be limited and Its usefulness curtail
ed. The people are ready to stand
solid for a fair association, and the
county will be greutly benefited by
such.
The democratic state of Montana
has an effective way of dealing with
the trusts and their machinations.
The attorney general of that state has
ordered the arrest of the representa
tives of the Cudahy, Swift, Armour
and other packing house vampires, on
a charge of conspiracy to control and
manipulate prices In the state. No
matter for lax federal laws and lag
gard federal officials, If the states
will follow Montana's example and
take the trust Issue in their own
hands and make It unlawful for com
binations to exist, the people can get
relief. There are thousands of ways
reach the trust question. If the
legislatures and courts would mani
fest the necessary backbone. Mon
tana is not counted among the purest
atatea In the Union, politically, but
she is certainly aheud of some of hei
saintly sisters in the Blatter of deal
Ing with trusts. Oregon can tuke a
lesson of Montana If she will. It
stands Oregon In hand to do a good
thing for the people every time .she
has an opportunity, to prove that all
her politicians are not like those now
