Even a man so admittedly preju diced In the interest of the railroad company, from which he draws a princely salary, ae the astute attor ney who represented he Southern Pacific at the Salem conference did ot boldly claim (hat his employers were entitled to more than an equity of 13.50 per acre In the granted lands- Hie chief contention before the delegates was that the 'railroad company could continue to hold the lands as long as It desired, and that the timber,' or other thing of value upon them, could be removed before the lands were sold- In other words, that the time of sale, and the person to whom sale was to be made, were within the control of the railroad company. ' There are many, however, who in good faith suggest the confirmation of title in the railroad company with II restrictions remored. This would mean the absolute gift to the com pany of, 115,000,000, or more, over and above the original intent ot the granting act The' proposal to enforce the terms of the grant, according to the resolu tion of the Salem conference, does' sot take away from the railroad company any ot its rights. It de mands only that certain rights of which the general public has been deprived for many years be now guaranteed to it There is no con fiscation in it Nothing is taken from the railroad company which it ever owned or to which it ever had any right It has need the lands of the grant as a basis for credit, and through it built the railroad, accord ing to the original Intent of the grant It has sold many thousands of acres at prices greater than the 12.50 per acre, enough to more than balance the taxes paid. . It will get Its full equity "out of the 2,800,000 acres remaining unsold. Its rights are fully protected and no one need Coffee Let's be cheerful!

England's most spectacular effort in the present war has been her dem onstration at the Dardanelles. Her withdrawal from that field, should the rumored withdrawal prove true, will mark failure In a campaign that has been pretty expensive in men and munitions. The sugar beet campaign pro gresses to the satisfaction of the com mittees in charge, and while not all who should sign acreage are doing so, there is hope that the required number of acres will be signed up in the valley.

Such a blockade, it is assumed, would be the result ot Greek failure to prevent the allied troops from crossing Grecian territory to uld in the Serbian operations.

The opinion given by Attorney General Brown of this state, holding that the railroad company must be held for the full amount of taxes as sessed against the land even though it has an equity of but 12.50, is founded in exact Justice.

Otherwise it should be dealt with as any land-owning in dividual and have its lands sold at tax sale, as it undoubtedly will if it fails to come through at the eleventh hour.

Wsshlngton, Iov. a.Taking the first step toward a protest to England over British seizure ot the American ships Llama and Hocking, Secretary of State Lansing today sent a note to Ambassador Page at London direct ing him. t 'get the. British explanation or their seizure of toe Hocxiog ai Halifax. Authorities held that the loss of the Llama on th? coast ot Scotland was due to the prize crew wnicn boarded her. At the same time they regarded as particularly aggravated the iptocktng seizure, for she never was Gtsrmaa-owned, was seized wille plying in the coastwise trade, and then was Ukei) into Halifax. Officials intimated that the seizures nave launched a sew diplomatic con troversy with England over te ter's refusal to recognize fa"'? of foreign vessels to American re gistry. As far as facts now show the seiz ures were made on the basis that ownership questions rather than the flag should determine England's ac tion ;and on the assumption that Eng land can capture American ships merely on suspicion. At the same time it was officially stated that the United States will protest England's ship seizure policy. A report from Consul Young at Halifax caused the demand for an explanation. He stated that the au thorities there gave no official rea son for the capture, but apparently questioned the good faith of the transfer of the Hocking from Danish to American registry. The depart ment announced it had not yet begun an Inquiry as to the Hocking's prior ownership. Unofficial reports said her New York owners protested they were all Americans.
