HOW TO INCREASE REVENUES.
Instead of maintaining excesrlve
tariff rates on many of the necessi
ties of life, if congress would ralsa
the price of timber land from 12.50
per aire to something near Its actual
value, the effect on the revenues of
the nation would be highly appreciat
ed by the public
At the present time, priceless tim
ber land, which Is eagerly sought
for ry sawmill corporations. Is sold
st the Insignificant sum of 12.5" per
acre merely a pittance compared to
l's true value.
Often on the day on which final
proof i" nvide upon timber land, the
enlryman transfers It to a timber
syndicate for several times the price
paid the government and the syndi
cate in '.urn reaps an immense profit.
Maxvell's Tallyman says of the tim
ber and stone law, by which the tim
ber area of the country Is passing
Into the hands of the corporations:
It is utterly Inconceivable that con-g-eE?
would ever have passed the
tin.r... r a:id slime ai t if It had realiz
ki. '' odd i'c-ais ago. the rapidity
with which the then existing forests
we:? to disappear, and the use to
whfh the act would be put in trans-f'.-r:.r.fe'
'.' a monopolistic hands
the greater part of the timber area.
The ll'ji then prevailed that the
heft n.-e to which any forest could'
be P-Jt was? to desuoy it; and con-gi-.ss
l;niiJ that It was doing a
benefice .it act lr so framing the law
that as muny persons as possible
should have a chance at the tirr.r.er.
Everybody knows that the "chance"
has teen mainly used by people em
ployed 1.1 tho'liands to locate claims,
ostensibly for their own use, but real
ly for the use of lumber barons.
let that Infamous law Is still un
repealed kept on the statute bock
by the influence of the monopolists
whose greed Is yet insatiate, though
the land which they got and are get
ting of the. government, by fraud, for
12. SO per acre, Is now worth from
(0 to 1200 per acre and advancing
In value every month.
which hat led to the appeal to con
s': ess and the president for relief.
Tennessee's governor Is one of the
few who have paused by all references
to corporations and the Interests of
greed. Oovernor Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, and Oovernor Comer of Al
abama, have made some very direct
15.00 i remarks uron the subject.
1.25 ! in his final message to the legls-
lature. Oovernor Cox said some things
that rang clear.
Texas has spoken lr. no uncertain
t.'ius. Governor Stuart of Pcnnsyl-Y-'nti,
In his inaugural nusse, urges
the creation if a slate railroad com
miii.n with powers vqual to those of
iho inters::tte commerce commission
under the leg.slution of last winter:
urges legislation to make effective
tbe prohibition, in Ihe state consti
tution, of railroads from engaging In
any other ' business, ami asks for a
law r.i tXitip two cnu a mile the max
imum rate for passenger traffic.
The provision of the constitution
prohibiting railroads from engaging
in other business has been shame
fully ignored in Pennsylvania; other
wise the revelations of the relation of
the Pennsylvania road to the coal
companies along its line, which shook
that corpoiatlon last summer, could
never have awakened to the necessity
of enforcing their own laws, there
will be far less need for federal regu
lation of the roads which traverse
that state.
lovernor Chamberlain of Oregon,
In his annual message, asks for a
strong state railroad commission and
'or action to compel the railroads to
develop the territory In the eastern
part of the state, which has been
neglected.
Governor Comer of Alabama, asks
for state-made freight and passenger
rates, fcr railroad taxation on the
oasis of reports to stockholders In
stead of to tax uss 'ssms, and for a law
which will forbid the increase of the
stock of any railroad company In the
rtate without the consent of the state
railroad commission. Governor Mead
of Washington, asks for a law which
will protect shippers and Insure rail
road facilities.
The unfortunate conditions existing
on the Umatilla Indian reservation
are nade "specially noticeable by the
ejection of Charles J. Ferguson, of
this city, from the reservation Mon
day afternoon, by Superintendent O.
C. Edwards. The only reason which
prompted the Indians to employ an
outside stenographer for their native
cenrt in the hearing cn the burning
of the five Indians, was that the lead
ing mr;i.',hers of ihe tribe do not trust
E'uwarc's and would not employ one
I of Ills cleiks to take the Indian tes
j tnno.iy. The public will naturally
b-i'eve, now, after the ejection of a
di.-irterested stenographer, that Ed
wards really fears an honest and Im
partial Investigation, and his actions
lue only strengthened the Indians'
suspicions of him.
THE SENATE HID NOT
HAZE LA FOLLETTE.
The I'-onle of 1'matilla county will
be glad to know that Representative
Steen's bill increasing the salary of
the i-ovntv scnool superintendent of
Umatilla county from 11 200 to $1800
per year has parsed the house "with
out opposition. Umatilla county is
one of the leading school counties of
the state and cannot afford to keep a
superintendent on an Inadequate sal
ary. Over lot) large districts must
be visited and the school Interests of
over 6000 school children must be
protected and watched over by the
coun'y superintendent of this county
ad 1100 per month is not sufficient

THERE MUST BE REGULATION.
Perhaps no other subject Is now
attracting the attention of so many
state legislatures as the subject of
railroad regulation.

NEW BULLET PROOF CLOTIL
A Milanese barrister, Slgnor Amedo
P.uccl has Invented a flexible fabric,
somewhat resembling leather, which
no bullet or bard steel instrument
is able to pierce. Last Sunday morn
ing, writes our Rome correspondent,
Slgnor Buccl made a tour around a
large square in Rome with a FMchard-
Brasler motor car, the tires of which
had been covered with the fabric.
Nails of large dimensions were
stuck In the ground 'point upward,
and the car passed over them with
out damaging the rubber Urea, Later
on the Inventor called on the minis
ter of marine, who personally experi
mented on a piece of the fabric, which
be unsuccessfully tried to perforate
by firing several revolver shots at It.

The following graphic review of
Senator I -a Follette's fight for a bill
reducing the hours of labor on rail
roads is taken from Collier's Weekly:
The alleged combination to "haze"
Senator La Follette was Itself unmer
cifully haned In the present session
of congress. In the last session of
congress Mr. I .a Follette Introduced
a Mil to rrolect the public from ac
cidents by limiting the hours of labor
of railroad employes. The majority
ni' to cn:itt.r lid not v:irl to pass
It. but at the :itno time tiny fill a
dtdicHi y aVotu iuarely opposing It.
They pleaded fir delay. It was a
v ry important measure senators
ought 1 1 have time to give it thought
ful consideration, so that It could be
passed in perfect form. Mr. La Fol
lette was patient.
The days ran on until the end of
the s:'slon was at hand. It was plaln
'v impossible to crowd the bill
through In those fleeting minutes
senators ncrelted the situation, but
uch was life.
Then a startling discovery was
made. Almost every senator in the
tereste.l in some appropriation in the
public buildings bill, and when that
bill came along Mr. La Follette was
standing on the track with a red lan
tern. He was very sorry, but if the
time was too short to pass the hours
of labor bill, he feared It was too
shor: to pass the public buildings bill.
The senators capitulated and agreed
by un.tmnov.s ccnsnt that, if Iji Fol
lette would let them have the post
offices and custom houses for which
their constituents were pining, they
would make the hours of labor bill
the unfinished business In the next
session and take a vote on It upon
the 10th of January.
Every day this session La Follette
has been on hand at 2 o'clock to
stand guard over that agreement and
keep the bill lrom being dropped In
his absence Into the unfathomable
depths of the calendar. At last the
day for the vote approached. Sena
tors who had let weeks pass without
manifesting any desire to discuss the
subject, began again to deplore the
unseemly haste with which they were
expected to act. Toward the end a
real debate sprang up. Manufactur
ed memorials against the bill from
unions and Individual railroad em
ployes who wanted to work more,
than 1 hours a day were poured In
to the senate.
Mr. La Follette furnished evidence
showing that most of the alleged op
position to the btll on the part of
employes had been directly Inspired
by the companies. He then produced
and had printed In the Congressional
Record a really appalling lit of ac
cidents caused by overworked and
exhausted trainmen.
An engineer who had been on
duty for 4 3 hours "used poor Judg
ment" In stopping on a curve aston
ishing lapse for such a fresh mind :tH
his must have been and there was
a collision. In another collision the
train was "not under control." after
tli crew bad been only 4 2 hours on
duty. In anothfr cae a -dnulnian
who hi'l been at work for 24 hourB
went br.ck to flag and fell asleep.
Onlv one man killed, luckily. A con
ductor and engineer who had been
on duty for 3D hours forgot to pro
tect the rear of their train with a
flag. Collision. Another collision oc
curred while the engineer was asleep
after 4? hours of service following six
hours of rest. Twenty-one such acci
dents occurred after the adjournment
i f the last session of congress, and "I
have no doubt," said Mr. La Follette,
' that at least 20 of the 21 accidents
would have been averted had the bill
which is pending today been enacted
at the last session of congress and
the hours of limitation upon service
enforced."
When the time came to vote upon
the amendments a majority of the
senators voted to cripple the bill
herever they could do it without a
record, and turned the other way on
nlmrst every question In which the
yeas and nays were put down In
black and white. The chief test came
when Mr. La Follette moved to strike
out the whole mutilated bill and In
sert a short and consistent substi
After the adoption of the substitute
the railroad contingent ceased to
fight. The ancient Pettus of Alabama
was left waving his state rights flag
alone, and on the passage of the bill
as amended all the rest of the senators
present, 70 strong, ranged themselves
under the banner of the hazed ana
ostracized La Follette.
The bill as passed forbids any em
ploye on a train carrying Interstate
or foreign freight or passengers to
remain on duty more than 18 consec
utive hours, unlets In specified excep
tlonal cases, or to go on duty after
16 consecutive hours' service without
having had at least 10 hours off duty,
or to work more than 16 hours In the
aggregate within any period of 24
hours. Violations of the law on the
part of any common carrier or Its
officers are made punishable by a fine
of not less than $100 or mere than
THREE EPOCHS IN
A WOMAN'S LIFE
MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS
There are three critical stapes in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stupes
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to buddinp womanhood.
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stapes,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through ill heulth dates
from one or another of these im
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydla
E. Pinkhatn'a Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of younp pirls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
fn later years carried them safely
throuph the change of life more suc
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from prateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction,
Mrs. George Walter of Woodlawn,
111. writes t
Dear Mrs. Pinkhmm:
"I feel it mv doty to tell too of the good
Lydia E. Pmkhara's Vegetable Compound

Life without any tremble whatever, also
cured me of a very severe female weakness,
1 cannot say enough in praise of what your
medicine has done for me.'1

Compound did for Mrs. Walters and
Mrs. Edwards it will do for other wo
