To some it will seem unjust to tax railroads in order to build hard surface roads lead ing to the open river. But the railroads do not pay the tax. The shippers pay it.

The Liberty Hell was brought to America from England In 1752. Jul the colonies it was first rung to call! the assembly together In August, i 1T"i3. Its ringing often assembled! the people in the years preceding the! revolution, but its most notable func-j tion was the calling of the colonists to! hear the reading of the Declaration ; of Independence. The surrender otj Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown in 17SI 1 and the proclamation of peace ln ; KS3 were celebrated by the ringinci of this famous bell. It was rung sev- eral times later, the last time to mark the death of Chief Justice John' Marshall. July 8, 1835, when It sus-j tained the crack that has silenced It for all time. j ln all probability this will be the; Liberty Hell's last journey on account of the danger of further breakage fi"iii travel. ganization, and when he ha;; finished, the country will hav: something definite and tangible to discuss. One thing seems certain in order to obtain an adequate defensive army, the term of active service of en listed men must be greatly re duced." The events of the present war justify this demand for a reduced enlisted period. The soldiers at the front do no close order drilling and very little of anything else outside of trench digging. The training they have had for war is laugh able compared with war as they find it. England seems as stubborn as" Germany regarding conces sions to the United States. So much the better, it will keep us from helping either side. i ne eston leader says every day is Wilson day in the Leader office, which is what all the real leaders say. taxes on it. No midnight reso. lutions are passed in his behalf by the legislature and the at-! torney general of tne state is! not sent to Washington to in tercede for him' before the su preme court. Why should the status of the Southern Pacific be any differ ent from that of the ordinary settler who disregards the law? ln the case of the railroad the law regarding the disposal of its lands was very plain. The law required that the land be sold to actual settlers at prices not in excess of $2.50 per acre. The railroad refused to obey the law and held its land for years for speculative reasons, knowing all the time the law carried a forfeiture clause. But when the lands had been declared forfeited by the fed eral court of this state we wit nessed an amazing activity. A newspaper campaign was made for the reversal of that decis ion and a resolution was slip ped through the legislature asking in effect that Judge Wolverton be reversed. The supreme court has act ed by giving a decision very much along the lines asked for by the secret resolution. Ee cause the East Oregonian asked to what extent the supreme court may have been influenc ed by the legislature it is char acterized by the Portland Ore gonian as having made a "base suggestion" insulting to the su preme court. If it was alright for the legislature to pass that resolution hoping to influence the court why is it wrong for this paper to inquire if the ac tion had any influence on the j court? J This whole land grant deal j rrnacks not of justice andj equality under the law but of j the reign of privilege. No pri-i vate citizen could have secured, Kuch support or such conde-l ccnsion from those who mould ; opinion and handle the scales! hev-r shows for treat of justice. henever a great corporation receives something that will not be rendered to the humble homesteader it receives something to which it is not en titled. If cases like this are to be the rule in this country the dollar Mgn should supplant the stars upon the nation's emblem. WHO SHOULD WORRY? Two Itlver Vhrtims Fonml. MORTON. Wash.. June 26.
