THE DAYLIGHT TRAIN.

Tomorrow the railroad commission
will meet in Pendleton to investigate
the demand for a local train between
Pendleton and Portland.
If the commission happens to ride
on one of the crowded trains where
/; is impossible to find a seat or Sc
cure sleeping car accommodations, it
will perhaps demand no further evil
dence on the subject.
The railroad company will no doubt
bring many statistics and reports of
ticket sales and other information to
show that local train from Pendle-
ton to Portland would not pay.
Pendleton cannot get at the actual
records of the passenger business, of
course, for that belongs exclusively to
the company, but Pendleton can show
actual conditions of travel which will
more than offset any array of bus
iness statistics which may be present.
ed.
The commission must deal with
conditions, 1t must take cognizance
OF crowded and unsanitary cars, lack
of accommodations, late and uncertain
trains on the main line and other ac-
tual facts which Pendleton will be
able to present.
There has always been the best of
feeling and understanding between
Pendleton and the o. r. & N. compa-
ny and there is no reason for any Bit
terness now. The effort of the city
to secure better accommodations Is q
just and fair business proposition and
II the city can show that such service
is needed the company will cheerful
ly supply It.
A hearing and an investigation by
the railroad commission is the only
logical way in which to go at the mat
ter and the result Of this hearing
should and will be cheerfully accepted
by both Pendleton and the o. R. & n.
company.
Pendleton is one of the most i'm
portant points on the o. r. & N. sys-
TEN. More business originates for the
q. r. & N. in this territory than in
any other territory on the system out :
side of Portland and the company
cannot deny the best possible service.

''TIPS."

Editor Harvey w. Scott, of the
Portland Oregonian, has just travel
ed from New York to Portland in a
Pullman car, and is therefore in the
proper state of mind to write a strong
editorial on the evils of the tipping
system.
This he has done in his usual mas
terful and logical manner in the sun
day Oregonian of June 2.
The Pullman company not only
overcharges the public for the serv-
ice rendered, but it then forces the
public to pay the salaries of its en-
ployes in tips. The dining car people
not only charge extortionate prices
for their meals, but patrons of dining
cars are forced to hire the walters to
bring them what they are charged
two prices for, in the first place, maxi
ing two hold-ups in the same car.
There is no reason for the existence
of the tipping system in the United
States. The enormous incomes of the
Pullman car and dining car company
Justify them in paying handsome SAL
aries to their employees, instead of
feeding and clothing them from the
charity of the travelling public.
The East Oregonian would like to
know that every sensible business
man who rides on Pullman cars or
patronizes dining cars, would make a
resolution not to tip.
If every business man would do
this, and then If mistreated or given
poor service, if these same business
men would jump on to the companies
with both feet, and harass them with
complaints and grievances, the en-
ployes on these cars would soon be
paid sufficient salaries to relieve the
public from this robbery.
Suppose clerks in stores demanded
tips from customers before showing
goods, or making sales. Let us just
take this curse home and try to realize
how foolish and unjust it is.

HEPPNER'S PROTEST.

A petition from Will P. Bennett,
secretary of the Commercial club,
has been received by the state rail-
way commission regarding the ship
ping rates in effect on the Heppner
branch of the o. r. & n railroad, the
principal shipping points being Hepp-
ncr, Lexington and lone, says the
Salem Statesman.
1t is stated In the complaint that
the Morrow county farmers export
about 1,O0O.0O0 bushels of wheat, and
about 100000 pounds of wool, be-
sides great many sheep, cattle and
horses annually and that the rate in
effect from Heppner to Portland for
a distance of 19s miles for wheat is
IS cents per hundred pounds, which
is IA cents more than was charged
by the said railroad prior to the year
ly05. that the rate from Pendleton to
Portland, 4 distance of 231 miles on
rate from Wallula, WASH, is IL cents
the distance being PA miles from
Portland; the rate from Irrigon,
Morrow county, a distance of $50
miles is Is cents per hundred pounds
from this statement of facts it ap-
pears to us that the rate charged by
said railroad on said branch is ex-
cessive.
The petition requests the commits
sion 10 investigate these facts with
view of obtaining a more equitable
rate from the shipping points on the
Hcppner branch and is signed by peo
pie of that section of the country.

WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER.

William Rockefeller, who by rea-
son of his vast wealth and Standard
Oil connections, is a powerful factor
in the world of finance, was born in
Tioga county, New York. May 81.
1871. H was educated in the Owega
academy and the public schools OF
Cleveland. At the age of II he left
school to become a bookkeeper for
q miller. A year rtwo later he
formed a connection with rival
flour mill, and at 81 he became a
partner in the concern. In 1865 he
went into the oil business In a mod
est way with his brother, John ID.
Rockefeller, In Cleveland. The
brothers, with one orN ito associates,
build little refinery, which they
called the Standard Oil works.
Just after the civil war William
went to New York to act as eastern
agent for the Cleveland reflneries.
In 1870 the old partnership was dis
solved and its place was taken by the
standard Oil company of Ohio, with
capital of $1,00O,000. The pres
ont company was organized in 1882,
with William Rockefeller as presi-
dent Then came the Standard OIL
company of New Jersey, commonly

Rockefeller was made vice president
Since that time he has been inti-
mately associated with all the rami-
flcations of the gigantic monopoly
while his wealth has increased to
vast proportions. While his name is
not as conspicuous as that of his
brother, John d. Rockefeller, he is
said to possess a wider knowledge in
detail of the great corporation whose
power spreads to all the countries OF
