the affiliated bodies will get right down
to business, ascertain the civic wants,
agree on the most essential. and go
after them determinably as other cities
do, and decline to take NO" as an an
swer in any matter. AS the leading
paper in the lower Columbia country
we will be right behind them in the
fight and cheerfully aid the scrap and
glory in its winning, for whatsoever
it may be. There has been too much

THE ADRoIT EN- ENVY.

Experience has proven the almost in
superable tasks of successfully regu-
lating railroads The very govern
ment of the country is not more nice
ly poised in the law, nor better found
ed in the art of preparedness, than
these colossal combines. Their legal
servants are better paid and the study
Of evasion, circumlocation and final
defiance Of restrictive law, the in
variable code laid down and most
faithfully pursued by those same SER
wants. They are not standing for jus
tice, for equality before the law: that
is mere fragment of the work laid
out for their attorneys. The cold,
unscrupulous, critical negation Of law
is the first principle of their legal de-
partments, and the successful ser
want there, is the cherished factor, as
well as the best paid, in all the al
ministrative propaganda of these i'm
mense and arrogant concerns.
Never in all our history was the
truth of David Dudley Fields aphor-
ism, I'VE have too much law" more
keenly patent than at this hour.
The only refuge the Oregon legis-
lature has, is in the framing Of a
statute at once constitutional and so
Mosaically simple in it's text, as to be
beyond the reach of false interpreta-
ton; turn it loose and await the in
evitable defeat. 1t may pass a re-
ciprocal demurrage law, and create a
commission to apply it with all rig
orous justice; but the railways will
overmatch it by some miserable expe-
dent that may cost them millions The
cost is nothing to them SO long as an
offending law is made imperative, in
effective, innocuous. They will meet
a demurrage edict by simply saying to
the shipper, Yes, we'll give you a car,
instantly, aud carry your stuff to the
end of our lines, and no further; we
must keep our cars in our own ter
ritory in order to meet this demurrage
regulation, and you must arrange for
the trans shipment of your freight on
the lines beyond; we are not exchang- I
ing business now; it's up to you to
see your stuff through; We will not |
even route 1t for you" And the ship |
per will be infinitely worse off than |
ever, but the railway people will be I
within the statute, and they can
maintain themselves, while the people
are seeking new remedies for the evil
they. themselves, have wrought, and
losing intellectually every hour,
The people have been far too gener-
Gus with the railways They have
given over the forces of commercial
law to them utterly, and they are be-
ginning to realize and recognize, the
enemy they hav deliberately
enemy the have deliberately
equipped to undo them.
