ROOSEVELT NOT DISARMED.
When the plutocratic opponents of
the president's railroad rate bill se
(ected Senator ' Tillman the fiery
southerner, to be spokesman for the
bill in the senate, they thought they
would disarm the president and make
his bill the laughing stock of the sen
ate by reason of Tillman's defense.
To their surprise the president
cheerfully accepted Senator Tillman
the best possible spirit and imme
diately co-operated with him to make
at strong presentation of the subject
Jn the senate.
j -And Senator Tillman, equally as
manly and gracious as the president,
accepted the task with good grace
end honestly armed himself for the
tray.
This mutual felicity on part of the
president and Senator Tillman dis
comfited the enemies of the bill, who
Baw that with both Tillman and
Roosevelt working honestly and ener
getically together for It, Its defense
in the senate would be formidable,
indeed.
So Instead of disarming the presi
dent by appointing Tillman, the plu
tocrats added to his strength and gave
the president the co-operation and
brilliancy of the South Carolinian
who delights in a "scrap."
The trick of the senate has been
turned against it in the form of a
combination of forces which It had
not reckoned with.
USELESS WASTE OF LIFE.
The reoprts of the state health
board of Oregon show that about 800
people die of consumption or tuber
culosis, annually, in the state.
This death rate will Increase as
population increases and more and
more afflicted persons come into the
state. It is an alarming prospect a
menace that is not to be lightly con
sidered.
Think of the exposed circle of
friends and relatives surrounding
each of theBe 800 people who suc
cumb to the great white plague each
year In Oregon! '
The possibilities for peril are alarm
Ing.
And then, on the other hand, listen
to the reports from New York, show
ing that at the health resorts, espe
daily those designed for tuberculosis
In the Adirondack and other moun
tain ranges, over TO per cent of the
consumptives received at those re
sorts In the first and second stages
of the disease, are released wholly
cured!
The outdoor cure, the nature reme
dy, the sensible, pure air, pure water
and pure food treatment is conquer
ing the threatening foe!
Suppose Oregon should utilize her
mountain resorts, her mineral springs,
her healthful high altitudes in the
cure of tuberculosis, and should save
the same percentage that Is saved In
New York, or 70 percent.
This degree of success lu Oregon
would mean the saving of 70 per cent
of 800 lives, or 360 human beings now
needlessly sacrificed to carelessness
and negligence each year!
No other section of Oregon offers
such excellent Inducements for sani
tariums as Umatilla county, where
nature has planted her mineral
springs and lifted her towering moun
tains and Invigorated the air with
self-healing vitality and elixir for
which the wasting lungsof the suf
ferers thirst and perish.
Thle one branch of human Indus
try alone should make Umatilla coun
ty world-famous, if developed to Its
logical conclusion. The excellent
mineral springs and accesslle moun
tains place this county at the lead of
the state In this line of resources.
At $5000 each, the legal valuation,
how much are these 660 lives worth
to the state? And to think that they
are needlessly wasted each year!
"TWO SIDES" TO PAVING ISSUE.
Of course there are "two sides" to
the paving Issue, but only two mem
bers of the city council are on the op
position side and all the other mem
bers and practically every property
owner Interested are on the "go
ahead" side.
It Is a case of a very small minority
blocking a matter which a ver large
majority desires heartily. But the
East Oregonlan is willing to listen to
the arguments of the opposition and
to concede whatever Justice It may
find in those arguments.
It Is urged by the opposition that
it would be unfair to the future to en
cumber the city to the entire $10,000
limit now, In constructing paving on
a very small proportionate area of
Pendleton streets.
This hus weight and Is worthy of
consideration, It is true. Other streets
may more urgently need paving with
in two or three years than Main and
Court and it would seem unwise to
bar any further Improvement by go
ing to the limit of indebtedness now,
for but portions of streets.
This is the only fair and Just argu
ment advanced yet by the opposition
to paving.
The other argument mat corner
properties should pay for the street
Intersections or squares is lame and
unfair. Corner property must pay
for two fronts now, should side streets
be paved and the centers are logical
ly public property and should not be
assessed to corners. (But In order to
secure paving the East Oregonlan
would be willing to pay for Its share
of the square at the Intersection of
Main and Webb streets.)
It would be Just as fair to forbid
pedestrians not paying taxes on Main
or Court streets, from walking on the
paving, as to force property owners
on those streets to dig down and pay
for these squares that belong to the
city exclusively, and which are for
use of all, whether taxpayers or not.
The city should pay for the squares,
It is unjust to force property to bear
this double burden while the public
would enjoy an equal benefit. It
would be Just as fair to say that Sa
lem should pay all state expenses be
cause the state officials live there, as
to make this unfair demand on corner
property holders. It Is penurious in
the extreme, In a city of Pendleton's
wealth and resources.
Five candidates for the legislature

REVIEW OF R VII ROAD RATE
LEGISLATION.
The following excellent review of
the railroad rute legislation, which Is
now In progress in congress, is from
Collier's Weekly and gives nn Impar
tial review of the situation:
The railroad rate question, a sub
ject somewhat arid lu Itself, gains In
terest from the spectacular shifts In
Its position. It is something like a
game of Rugby football, In which the
ball changes hands every minute, and
before you really know where It Is
you see It at the other end of the field.
The rate regulation plan started as
a democratic policy. It was then
boldly kidnapped by the president,
who made a determined effort to
convert It into a republican policy.
Embodied in the Esch-Townsend bill
of last year, It passed the house as a
non-partisan measure under republi
can auspices. Transformed this year
Into the Hepburn bill, it passed the
house again as a bi-partisan, democratic-republican
measure under the
Joint patronage of both party organi
zations. It went to the senate, and there by
a trick of Its republican opponents it
was unexpectedly thrown back into
the arms of the democrats. But
President Roosevelt refused to let go,
and the buffeted changeling Is now
the Hepburn-TIUman-Roosevelt Administration-democratic
bill.
It was the general understanding
that the Hepburn bill would be ma
terially amended by the senate com
mittee on Interstate commerce. The
point about which activity bubbled
was the question of review by the
courts of rates fixed by the interstate
commerce commission. The house
bill spoke Incidentally of possible in
terference by "a court of competent
Jurisdiction." but the senatorial con
servatives wanted a definite program
of Judicial action. For a time dally
pourparlers were In progress between
the White House and the senate.
The president was thought to be
reasonable it was said that he would
accept almost anything that would
give him the prestige of getting a law
of some sort on the statute books. It
was announced on February 21 that
he had decided to leave all the respon
sibility for the work of perfecting the
bill upon the senate, reserving his own
action until It came before him for hit
signature.
Encouraged by this forbearance.
the leaders of the upper house applied
themselves diligently to the labor i f
creation. The hum of wheels rotat
ing with accelerated velocity was
heard from senatorial crania, v.' The
next day this scene of happy Industry
was rudely disturbed by the declara
tion that the president wanted tha un
amended Hepburn bill.
Senators were hurt and indignant.
Mr. Knox, who had been tinkering the
bill In the belief that he was the ad
ministration's trusted source of wis
dom, submitted a long amendment
providing for a suspension of the In
terstate commerce commission's rate
orders pending appeal to a court upon
the deposit by the common carrier of
the excess charge, or of a bond to
make, good in case the commission's
rato should be sustained. It was be
lieved for a day that this would fur
nish the basis for a union of the con
servative forces.
Suddenly the situation changed
again. On February 23 the commit
tee on Interstate commerce decided
that the Hepburn bill should be re
ported without change, and that the
question of amending It should be
fought out on the floor of the senate.
This decision was reached by the
solid vote of the five democrats on
the committee, Tillman, - McLaurln,
C'armack, Foster and Newlands, and
three republicans, Dolliver, Clapp and
Cullom. against flrve republicans, El
kins. Aldrlch. Kean. Foraker and
Crane. Thus the bill became a dem
ocratic measure, favored fty all the
democrats and opposed by the ma
jority of the republicans, including
the chairman of the committee. El
kins, Then Senator Aldtich satirically
proposed to make the situation clearer
by putting the bill In charge of Sen
ator Tillman, the president's personal
enemy. With democratic help the
Joke was carried through, and then
the railroad senators waited 'to see the
president squirm. To their dismay
he expressed his delight, declared
Tillman "an honest man and a game
fighter." and cheerfully prepared to
take his bill from democratic hands,
since he could not get It from his own
party.

THE PRESIDENTS INCOME.
A correspondent asks: "Is the
president able to save anything out
of the mere $50,000 a year salary he
receives?" says the San Francisco
Argonaut.
Many people believe that the $50,
000 a year which the president gets
as salary Is the sum total of his offi
cial income. It cs a mistake.
This is how he is paid: Thirty-six
thousand and sixty-four dollars Is
given him In addition to his salary of
$50,000, to pay the salaries of his
subordinates and clerks. His private
secretary Is paid $3250, his assistant
private secretary $2250, his stenog
rapher $1800, five messengers (each)
$1200, a steward $1800, two door
keepers (each! $1200, four other
clerks at good salurles, ranging from
$1500 to $2500; one telegraph opera
tor, two ushers. $1200 and $1400, a
night usher $1200. a watchman $900,
and a mon who takes care of the fires
receives $864 a year.
In addition to this there Is given
him $8000 for Incidental expenses,
such as stationery, carpets and the
care of the presidential stables. And
under another heading there Is given
him near $40,000 more. Of this.
$12,500 is for repairs and refurnishing
the White House; $2500- Is for fuel;
$4000 is for the greenhouse; $15,000
Is tor gas, matches and the stable.
