Interetate Commerce.


In 1887 q measure was enacted for the reg
ulatiOn of Interstate railways, commonly
known as the interstate commerce act. The
cardinal provisions of that act were that
railway rates should be just and reasonable
and that all shippers, localities and commod-
tiles should be accorded equal treatment.
That law was largely an experiment. Ex
p~erience has shown the wisdom of its pur-
poses, but has also shown, possibly that
some of Its requirements are wrong, GER
tainly that the means devised for the en-
forcement of its provisions are defective.
The act should be amended. The railway is
a public servant. Its rates should be Just
to and open to all shippers alike. The Gov
eminent should see to 1t that within it's jur-
isdiction this Is SO. and should provide q
speedy, inexpensive and effective remedy to
that end At the same time nothing could
be more foolish than the enactment Of leeis-
lation which would unnecessarily interfere
with the development and operation Of these
commercial agencies.
The Department of Agriculture during the
last fifteen years has steadily broadened it's
work on economic lines, and has accom-.
plished results Of real value In upbuilding
domestic and foreign trade. 1t has gone
into new fields until 1t is now in touch with
all sections of our country and with two OF

elusive interest in or power over their
acts, 1t has in practice proved impossible
to get adequate regulation through State
action. Therefore, in the interest of the
whole people, the nation should, without
interfering with the power of the States
in the matter itself, also assume power

pOrations doing an interstate business. l

FAIR COMMISSION MEETING


The members OF the state fair commits
sion met in DR.. Gums Office on Mon
day, but owing to the new members not
having received their commission OF APP
pointment permanent organization was
postponed until rext Monday. The new
members appointed by Gov. Rogers are
A. B. Weed, A. J. Splawn and Matt
Bartholet. Plans for the coming fair
we're freely discussed by the members.
Secretary Gum was directed to go to
Portland to confer with the executive
committee of the Northwest Fair associ-
alton which meets in that city today.
The primary object in this is to clear the
way of all conflicting dates. Westmin-
ster, B. c., holds a fair on the same
date as the fair is held here and as the
date Of the state fair can not be changed
the Westminster people will be asked
to postpone theirs week later.
A number of other things were dis
cussed by the board and plans drafted
to secure the best exhibit OF fruit and
farm produce ever given at any state
fair. Prizes will be offered for the best
plate of the various kinds of apples or
peaches, pears, plums, or any other fruit
grown in the state for the best bale OF
alfalfa, or any other kind Of hay, for the
best hops, and potatoes and all kinds of
garden truck. This will be made spe-
cial feature Of the fair this year, and to
make it success prize of from 81 to 81
will be offered for the fruits and veget-
ables and higher prizes for hay and
hops. Besides this dog department
will be added and people all over the
state will be given an opportunity to
exhibit their CANNES.

A comparison of the railways Of India
with those in the United States is in
teresting and instructive at the same
time. India has a length of $4,000 miles
of railway lines in operation, which was
constructed and put in operation at an
expense Of 1857 100000. Their last years
gross earnings amounted to $s7.Ss5.56i
and their net earnings to $46.079,621
leaving profit on the investment of
537 per cent, against ga per cent. in
the previous year. The average passen-
ger tariff per mile is 2.26 cents for first
class. 1.l3 cents for second class. 0.5G
cents for intermediate and 0.3 cents for
third class. Taking the intermediate
class as the one used by the business
and laboring people. one can travel in
India for about half cent per mile. and
If that is too much he can take the
third class and pay about a cent for
three miles.--Detroit journal. !.

To such an extent is the practice carried
on that it has become nuisance. Tin

rotten fruit and vegetables, manure, and
a little OF everything else constitute the
material thrown there, and you can i'm

disease spreading among the people, for

Indian is afraid of it is the smallpox.
