Paying For Largesse
How states deliberately destroy their own rights by
tccepting "aid" from the federal treasury for agricultural,
educational and highway work is illustrated in the recent
United States supreme court decision in the Buck auto bus
case, where the court held that because the road had been
built with government assistance, the. state had lost its
regulatory and supervisory rights over its traffic.
Buck sought to establish an auto bus line between Seattle
and Portland. He secured a license to operate in Oregon, but
was refused on application, permission to operate in Wash
ington on the ground that existing bus lines adequately
served the road and further competition would endanger the
whole service. In its decision the court says:
That part of the Pacific Highway which Ilea In Washington was
built by it with Federal aid. It (the attitude of the State
Of Washington) defeats the purpose ot Congress expressed in the
legislation giving Federal aid tor the construction ot interstate
highways.
Federal aid for roads has been a recognized government
policy since 1916, and some of the principal highways of the
country have been built by its aid, among them sections of
the Pacific Highway in Washington. In accepting this
federal aid, the states have surrendered their own rights as
to who shall and shall not use these roatls and lost power to
control traffic or defend taxpayers against fly-by-night and
wildcat competition or protect the general public against
highways being destroyed for private profit.
States, among them Oregon, have been eager and clamor
ous for federal aid, under the supposition they were getting
something for nothing but it is nothing of the sort. The
people pay in increased federal taxes for all the federal aid
extended and in addition barter their birthright of state
control for the mess of pottage.
Rejected
For the sixth lime in the history of the United States
government, the senate has failed to confirm the nomination
o.' a cabinet officer by rejecting Charles S. Warren as attor
ney general under President Coolidge. The other rejections
and the administrations were:
Jackson Roger It. Taney of Maryland, to be .secretary of the
treasury, rejected, 28 to 18, June 24, 1 s:i 4.
John Tyler James M. Porter of Pennsylvania, to he secretary ot
war, rejected, 38 to 3, January 30, 1844.
David Henshaw ot Massachusetts, to he secretary of the navy,
rejected, 34 to 8, Janunry 15. 1844.
Cabel Cushing of Massachusetts, to he secretary of the treasury,
rejected, 27 to 19, March 3, 1843.
Johnson Henry Htnnherk of Ohio, to ho attorney-general, who
had previously served and resigned, 29 to 11, January 2, 1868.
For most of the other rejections, factional and partisan
fights were responsible, but Warren's rejection is due to lack
of confidence in his fitness by members of his own party as
well as the opposition.
To put at the head of the department of justice to prose
cute trusts and illegal combinations, the chief counsel of the
American Sugar Refining interests, and the man who organ
ized and administered their business in Michigan, perfecting
th"T monopoly, would not have won the confidence of the
people, no matter how it gratified big business.
Letters read into the evidence at the trial of the govern
ment's case against the trust, proved that Mr. Warren
engineered, as business agent for the sugar interests, the
conspiracy to eliminate competition among the sugar factories
on the one hand by buying beets from the farmer, and on the
other in the sale of sugar.
The president may again nominate Mr. Warren for the
position, in the hope that a full attendance will secure a
majority for confirmation in the senate, or he may select
some one less objectionable because of previous business
affiliations with predatory financiers.

Wen, mothers and maids
A Romantic Serial of Modern Life
By IDAH McGLONE CIRSOX
LOOK I.N U BACKWARD
"V. hat do I think of Harold
Kennedy?" repeated Lillemay after
her mother "Do you mean that
good looking young man who was
with you at the plor?"
"i'es." Ullemay'a heart sank as
ho -jut Iced with what trembling
interest her mother hung upon her
answer to the question.
'Why, mother dear, I don't
think anything about him. I have
not seen enough of htm to have
any opinion whatever, lie looked
Just like a hundred other young
men I have seen abroad youths
wno danced well, knew how to or
der a dinner, and iierhaps sin? and
play a little, men wno attach them
selves to a pretty woman with
money and felrh and carry for
her, content to let her pay the
bills until anion? the young wo
men whs come to her house they
fUid those who have sufficient
money to keep them In idleness
tho rest of their live. Then they
marry."
Lillemay proved herself
a good actress as she turned
an Inquiring face to the woman
sitting besldo her. She made her
mother believe that she had Just
had an illuminating thought.
"Surely, mother, you have not plan
ned to make a match between that
younsf man and myself, haveyou?"
Mr. Vall's face turned scarlet.
"Don't you know, daughter, that
we do not arrange marriages in
this country. I hope you have not
!oved eo long abroad that you have
(ho French idea that a girl could
po.ssibly be happy If she married
without love. Marriage. Lillemay.
is uncertain enough If both hus
band and wife begin with an over
powering pa.flon. Without it the
end is certain.
. "Linemay. Harold Kenendy has
been moot charming to me for the
lost three years. He has almost
succeeded in making me forget the
drnb sordid time in which I fought
privation. Those years, however,
have seared themselves trto my
heart so that I caJt never forset
them. If I have one moment's
pre?nt joy it always reminds me
of some great sorrow of the past.
"I determined, dear, the year
you were born that if you lived
come way, somehow, some day, you
shoulj have the things that I had
wanted sad never had, even if I
had to break all of the decalogue
to giva them to yuri.
"As you know, we lived on that
r.rid land near the harbor, and 1
had tiled to get along and get to
gether a little chlcki-n ranch.
Your father, who was almost a
god to me when I married him,
through drink and disappointment
became mere and more shifik-bs
and ttuiiy as the years went on.
"Its had come to California ex
pcctiii? to find an Kl Dorado. That
he hid to work for a meager liv
ing wts something he resented.
"Dear, you were born on a hot
summer dav whe.i I was all alone,
and if It had not been that Ovid
Alarchmont came In that late aft
ernoon, I think you and I would
have died.
"All though that torture I pray
ed again ami again that we would
die.
"Cut you were a vigorous little
mite and as f-oon :ui you were car
ed for by a neighbor woman whom
Ovid brought with a doctor, you
went to sleep on my arm. your
dear lipx tuggling at my breast
"L-ilU-may, I am glad that you
will never experience tho awful
travail that I had ih.it day. for
although you may beir children
you will not have to bear them in
poverty with no one near to care
for you.
"At times I railed at God and
man for letting me suffer aloaj
without bops of anything bettej
even when my husband came, fot
I knew that hs would be too drunk
to do anything for either you oi
me.
"Having known something that
was much worse than death, I can
r.over forget that b lease J hour
when tho pain ceased nnd I felt
your .atinv s'tin a.TiUiMt my cheek,
f shall never forget what Ovid
Mar rhmotit was to me that day,
ttomething kinder and more bless
edly understanding than I thought
potflshle any human being could
be. When I sobbed out all my un
liapplneds he tojlt me in hid arms
like a mother wjuid a child.
"-Your father came home in the
middle of the night, drunk as
usual. Ha itm'stej that he go to
Hlcep In his own bed. The wo
man who was staying with me had
to go next door to blot-k your fath
er. He neatly fell upon you and
would have fought la defense ol
you, my darling, had lie not been
ho drunk.
"That night 1 lay there starmg
nt :he ceiling while the lump be
side the bed was Muokcd and
smouldered. I think I grew a lit
lla delirious, for I remember plan
ning how I would kill your father
a soon as I could . get around
again.
"John was very remorseful
when Ovid brought him back from
his house sobered in tho morning.
He made all Forts of promises and
'lid try to t.tkke care of me through
the day, but that did not keep him
from finding my little savings and
Kpcn.ling the next nlg'it at the sa
loon hilariously celebrating the
birth of his child."
