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

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.
