tend?
There is no doubt but that Wash.
ington will attempt to club the cor
porations into more liberal terms to
the business man and producer.
That the legislature could enact 3
rate law that would bring about bet

A railroad commission is too easy

the average legislature is easy enough.
Is Oregon getting her share of East
