FACTORY, "HoWo ef tho Pacific Codar Chest" 20 IGNOBLE PERFIDY Til ft telegraphic newt from the capital of. tho nation tells ns that tho officials of tho department of justice are a little shocked at the appearance in Washington of the attorney-general or Oregon, armed with a resolution of the Oregon legislature directing him to intervene ill the suit of the government against the Oregon & California Rail road company in the interest of tho railroad. Tho fact that these officials are surprised goes to prove they are unacquainted with our governor, our legislature or senator Day or Senator Lair Thompson. Tho people of Oregon will doubtless he shocked, too. at the news, hut if tho election should he hold again tomorrow, would doubt less re-elect the same bunch it thov would ask it. The people of Oregon have for so long a time been be t raved and sold out by their officials that it has become almost a fixed habit with them to elect those that they know will prove treacherous. 1 f by accident they elect an honest man. they afterwards show their repentance by succeeding lnm with a gratter or a jackass. lanv dirtv stunts have been perpetrated bv the legis latures of this state in the past, in relation to the state lands and state finances, but there was some plausible excuse, but this last piece ot chicanery is the cap-shoat ol political thieverv and mendacity. Tho fact is that it was passed in the closing hours of the session, and tho vast majority of those who voted for it did not know its purport. Granted that is a valid ex cuse, what about the grafters, rogues and thieves who pressed it for passage after its defeat? "Who peddled the information that the attorney-general wanted it passed f Every member of the legislature that voted for the res olution ought at once to petition the governor for an extra session of the legislature in order that the resolution might be repealed and the perpetrators of this infamous proceed ing discovered and exposed. Nothing less should satisfy those numbers who have been imposed upon, and nothing less will satisfy the people of the statu. . -The government undertookthis -uitagainst the-raiw road at the instance ot the people ottlus state. The legis hit ure of 1907 passed a memorial asking the federal gov ernment to take action, .it was a political issue jh the state. And now as tho case is about to be submitted the attorney general of Oregon is virtually instructed to inter vene in behalf of the railroad. No wonder the officials at "Washington are shocked. The language is deficient in words to express the honest disgust any rational man would feel at such an attitude. The excuse of the resolution is that the lands will not be subject to taxation if the government wins. Any excuse is good enough for the railroad company, but the claim that the people would lose if the government wins, because the lands might be exempt from taxation, is fallacious. Most of the lands in controversy are in the southern part of Douglas county and in Josephine and Jackson counties and lie almost wholly in a mineral belt. Mining in this section is almost at a standstill because of the own ership by the railroad of every alternate section. It needs no argument to convince one that mining is next to impossible where the miner is surrounded on four sides of every square mile by land he cannot acquire title to or an easement across. That is the situation in the min eral belt. .Far better to have the mineral lands in a for est reserve than to have each section surrounded on four sides by the Southern Pacific company. There is a goodly portion of lands along the railroad that can, of course, be thrown open for settlement or sale, and such would support many families who would improve lands that are now withheld from settlement or improve ment. The tax question was not raised by the people affected, but has been invented undoubtedly by some solicitous rail load attache. That this contemptible scheme was imposed upon the legislature makes one profoundly wish that every resolution as well as every law was subject to the refer endum. Better a freak state than a rotten borough, manipulated by corporation corruptionists. The governor of this state had no veto power over the resolution, but as chief execu tive he can, now that the dishonest methods used to pass it and the dishonesty of its purpose have been exposed, call the legislature together and give them an opportunity to repudiate it. If lie will not do this, tho people should appeal to the attorney-general to disregard the resolution and assist the government in the principal suit. According to the assistant attorney general, the hand was that of the taxpayer, but the voice is that of the South ern Pacific. Mr. Van Winkle says the resolution was drawn at the request of Senator Day. This shows that the resolution was introduced and intended for the purpose of aiding the Southern Pacific. What is $500,000 tax money distributed among eighteen counties compared to the release of the mineral and agri cultural land from railroad ownership? Even if the amount was $5,000,000, the people would gladly give it to learn that a giant corporation is not above the law and the courts.
