NIGHT HAVE SAVED TROUBLE.

Senator Ankeny's paper has started
to investigate the railroad commission
question by. asking the opinions Of the
governors of all the states. 1t might
have saved itself this trouble by re-
publishing the speech made by Gov
ernor Mcbride at the WaIla Walla OPP
era house in the latter part Of OctO-
Der, 1902. in reply to an interview Civ
en- out by Senator Ankeny at Spokane
opposing commission. In that speech
writer: to him by the governors Of all
the states having railway commits
siOns, and they We're nearly unani-
NOUS in saying that such commits
sions had proven beneficial. The let
tiers from the governors of Iowa. Min
nesOta, Wisconsin. Georgia and Texas
were especially strong in their adVO-
cacy Of the proper regulate and
equitable taxation of railroads through
commissions. Governor Mcbride in
that speech paid his respects to the
farcical railway commission that Ore
gOn maintained for number of
less, spineless" body with the right to
recommend but with no power to en-
force. He showed that it's membership
had been controlled by the railroads

ing to protect the interests of ship

mission that is wanted in Washington.
prove acceptable to the railroad lobby
in lieu of the kind advocated by Gov
ernOr Mcbride and Senator TOlman.
The commission proposed by the gov
ernor would be modelled after the Tex
as commission, which, under the d
rection of ex-senator Reagan, has
proven an unqualified success.
Undoubtedly other states have had
that discarded by Oregon. They were
created with the consent and under
the supervision of railroad attorneys
for the purpose of appeasing the de-
mand of the people for protection from
eXtOrtiOnate rates and ruinous dis
examinations. From states with such
useless commissions it will be easy
enough to get unfavOrable opinions.
Governor Chamberlain. who con-
tribuates the first letter to the Unions
symposium on the subject, refers to
such a sham commission. Let us hear
from Governor CumminS of Iowa.
Governor La Toilette of Wisconsin
and Governor Sayres of Texas. OF
course the Union will give Governor
Nc Bride Il chance to be heard with
the other governors on this question.

ANOTHER FARCICAL COMMISSION

The Union says that California has
no railroad commission. 1t has an
elective commission usually con-
troled by the Southern Pacific rail-
road monopoly. 1t is just such a farce
as the commission maintained by Ore
gon for number of years The rail-
roads are willing that Washington
should have such commission and
that explains why some of their organs
in eastern Washington, such as the
ColfaX Gazette. are advocating COM
mission plank in the state platform
and at the same time opposing Gov
ernor Mcbride The railroads care
nothing for a commission plank or
even commission law if they can
name the members of the commission
either through control of the republican
state convention. if the commission
were elective. or through control of
Il namby- pamhy governor. if the COM
mission We're appointive. The ship
pers of California are AT the mercy of
the Southern Pacific monopoly. An
honest commission could give them re-
lief. but the railroad does not intend
To let them have it so long as it can
continue to dominate the politics of
that state. The merger roads wish to
control this state just as the Southern
Pacific controls California. and the out
come of this years campaign will de-
termine whether or not the people Of
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-01-22

the state will go under the yoke and
be like dumb driven cattle in the SER
vice of the railroad monopoly.

IMPORTANT NEW YORK.

Republicans are generally cOnceding
place in New York the president Will
lose his own state in the coming cleo
ton to any democratic candidate who
is deemed safe by the business inte-
rests The language quoted is that of
a prominent republican organ, the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Democratic confidence grows steadi-
ly in New York. RoOSeVeltS declining
power as Il vote getter; the bitterness
of the Platt-Orell war: McClellan's
recent triumph, and the coalition of the
states entire independent and scatter
ing forces With the regular democ-
racy; and the ebbing republican pru-
ralities as shown by the record of eight
years-upon these facts rests belief
for a democratic victory this year.
Says the Pittsburg Post: "Of course
even with the solid south, New York
would not suffice. but success there
would give the democrats a chance.
New Jersey and Connecticut vote with
New York when that state goes dem
ocratic. This is an established fact
of our political history and not likely
to be departed from. The commercial
manufacturing and political interests
of the three states are closely iden-

Success in these three states would
very probably throw the victory 1t
would mean. together with but thirteen

authority to be doubtful" Democ-
racys chance to find" it's 80 addition

other strong calculations.
