FRENCH GOVERNMENT BUYS RAILROADS. The vole of the French senate for the acoitisiiion by the state of the railroad system of one of the six great companies, the Western, marks the surrender of the more conserva tive interests to a movement which has bean years in progress and doubtless could no longer be resisted safely, says the Railroad Age Ga zette. The lower house had repeatedly voted in favor of the measure; but various ministers who, when deputies had committed themselves In favor of It, have apparently desired its de feat In the senate, not so much be cause of dun i?c f views on the prin ciple of slate ownership as because of fear that with the present temper of the employes, und the powei which their organization can exert an administration aiming to do jus lice to the whole community coulti not bo effected. Socialist deputies whose ideal would be the nationalization of ah productive property, have,'1 when re sponsible ministers, opposed meas urea demanded by the employes, feel ing sure that they would soon resub In financial disaster. Of all conn trle.i in the world, except perhapt Prussia, Franco seems at first glanci best prepared to undertake the man agemeut of its railroads. It has al ways virtually owned them. Every line lias been laid out by th( state and Hie substructure built a Its own expense, and the six great companies which work them havi had substantially a long lease (orlgl nally for at) years), at the end o which lease (it was prolonged some I line nno) l he lines fall Into the pos session of tho government, on It t- puyhiK for the rolling stock. Tho stale guarantees dividends or tho share.) of these companies, and f contribution to a sinking fund whlcl will retire the principal at the explra tlou of the concessions. Its expen dltures on account of these guaran tees amounts to tin enormous sum and for several of the companies con Unties to this day. In 1906 the West orn company required on this ae count about $1,200,000, working a that time 'Mi'U miles of road an earning at the average rate of $111, S04 gross and $1,708 net per mile Tho companies have their operation; closely supervised by government of flclals, and they can make no clmngi In rates without the approval of the ministry of public works. Further, France has a highly train od and numerous technical corps the oldest in Iho world, so efficient that the railroad companies them selves draw their leading operating officers from them. For a long time moreover, it has had a small state railroad sstem (1X11 miles In 1906) which, though consisting chiefly ol llnei once chartered to companies but so unprofitable that the com panics were unable to complete them was yet an admirable school of prac lice for the government officers. In lOOti (his stale system earned $ 909 gross and $i:28 net per mile. The syptetns of the nix (ireat com panies may bo described as, with one exception (The Southern), section of a clrclo having Its center at Paris The Western lines reach the coast from Dieppe south to Brest. Includ Ing the great port of Havre. Its traf fie has been uefavoraly affected by the Improvement of the Seine below Paris, This was done at great ex pense, and no tolls are imposed. Franco is surrounded on all Ide but one (Spain) l- state mil mud leg- systems. In Helglum and Germany the governments have long workec tho railroads; in Switzerland and Italy the slate operations began re cently. There has long been a stronf party In France Irt favor of state op oration, which early In the '80s seem ed likely to prevail, but was avoided by now contractu with the companies which then took on new obligations aua had tueir concessions extended. Should results on the Western system improve notably under the a-ale, other systems will probably be required; but France needs to move cautiously in assuming any adultiuna. fib uncial obligations. OBNOXIOUS WEEDS. The county court Is complying with the law requiring the removal of ob noxious weeds, says the L-a Grande Observer, and notices have bean sent to every road supervisor in the coun ty, and he, in turn, is directed to no lify every owner who permits the growth of obnoxious weeds, of whicl the following are specified: Hussiai thistle, Canada thistle, China thistle white mustard, cockle burr. The law provides that after 10 days' notice, i the weeds are not destroyed, tlu county may enter the premises am charge the expense against the. land and eventually sell the same to se cure the cost, '(.'ilies must also take care of their streets a.id Cominis sinner Ben Urown, ..io is personal! taking the m i.t..r in hand, notifiei the city or' ia. Grande this morning Cities subject to a fine of fron; ?."li uj $500 for neglect in this mat .jr. It is the Intention of the coun to have this work executed inunedi yitly in order that the weeds ma; be destroyed before going to seel 'Ibis movement should receive tlu , co-operation of all. DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHORN Oi POWER. Hereafter there will be no liytit ning disposition of criminal cases says the Pendleton Tribune. Whet i man is arrested charge:! with crime he will not find It possible tt plead gti illy at once and save th cotinry the expense of maintenance and cost of trial and thereby 83cur for himself a lighter sentence. Nc criminal can plead until after thi grand jury has returned an indict meat. If the session of the grant jury !s three months In the future hi will lu.vj tc wait that long In Jail. Herotofoie it has been possible fo: the district attorney to file an In formation at any time after he 11 convinced of the accused's guilt, ant tho prisoner is then arraigned an allowed to plead. If he pleads no guilty his case Is set for a jury tria at the next term of court, but If h desires to plead guilty his case I: disposed or at once. However, thi Is all different since the governo. signed iho new law on June 23. The new law which was adopte by the people at the recent election provides chat no person can be trie for a crime except on an indlctmen returned by a grand Jury. This shut! out the filing of Informations by thf disti let attorney and as grand Ju rics .nc drawn only at the regulat terms of court they must come rathe far apart and accused men must lie In jail until the grand jury passes upon their cases.
