RAIL WAYS MUST
GIVE SERVICE

Austin, Texas, Sept. 1O.-The Texas
railroad commission began an open,
hearing on the proposition to require
the railroads to acquire, either by
purchase or lease, such additional mo-
tive power and equipment as may, in
the opinion of the commission, be
necessary for the proper handling and
moving of passenger and freight
traffic in Texas. Each railroad will be
required to show the amount of it's
motive power and rolling stock which
it now owns or has leased, and the
amount Of additional motive power or
rolling stock that may be required to
handle the traffic that may be ten

Or, the Rail

While Wall street is complaining
that the presidents utterances have
made it impossible to borrow money
for commercial enterprises, that rail
roads will have to stop enlarging and
improving themselves for that reason
and that financially the country is In
hard straits some figures collected by
the Baltimore Manufacturers Record
show different state of affairs. Dur
ing the first six months of this year,
according to the Record, no fewer
than LOG new railroad enterprises were
formed and incorporated in the south
ern states alone. None of these is
connected with any existing trunk
lines and some of them represent pro-
jects of several hundred miles in ex-
Der, her total for the six months being
%. Next comes Oklahoma with 16,
then North Carolina and West Vir-
ginia with II each, followed by Georgia
and Missouri with TO- Some of these
proposed railroads are for the purpose
of developing timber or mining re-
gions, but a large number Of others
are designed to afford passenger and
freight facilities over long distances
this being particularly the case with
transportation plans in Texas, Indian
Territory and Oklahoma, where rail
roads of considerable length are the
rule. These evidences Of confidence

country, certifying to the belief of pro

the white man makes, but the filipino
lives under laws under which the
white man would not himself be will

Praises Constitution.
Secretary Taft did not discuss the
trust question; he wisely avoided it
because he favors taking a backward
step on that question. 1 am glad that
you have had the beneht of Secretary
'Tafts advice, for if anything was
needed to convince the voters of Ok.
IahOma that the constitution is good
one, the proof has been furnished by
the fact that Secretary Taft's criti,

parts which protect the people against
predatory wealth, and the people of

something they all deplored. He
read testimony of Mr.. Kelly, OF the
Booth-Kelly company, to show then
business had increased forty to sixty
four per cent the past year, and from
25, 100000 to 60,000,000 feet OF
lumber sent out of the state in the
past four years. They had hauled
the past year an increase of "a per
cent local freight traffic, increased
Ga per cent lumber freight traffic, and
46 per cent of general business. An
increase of 10000 cars of lumber
from Oregon to the Missouri river
was an immense draft on their mo-
tive power.
They had supplied their cars freely
TO all the little roads. Traffic off the
little roads had been doubled up the
past year. They were not opposed
to a demurrage law, a commission
law, or any reasonable law, but give
them reasonable right to review the
action of the state.
Mr.. Muir spoke for the commits
sion bill. 1t met the wishes of the
whole state. 1t was not anti-railroad
legislation. The business men who
were back of this movement for a
commission were not making war on
railroads. These men made no com.
plants about rates as Mr.. Cotton
had said. It was bill for control
and regulation more than to make
rates. The commission was a neces-
sary feature of the bill. The railroad
had a public duty to perform, and
where It failed to perform that duty.
the shipper now had no redress. The
commission was a power open to the
citizen. He went over the features
of the bill briefly. He thought the
state should exercise the power Il
had fairly and Justly. The right of
the state was protected ana the rights
of the citizen promoted by this bill.
As to demurrage, and car shortage.
the state had made constant growth.
Money earned in Oregon had been
improperly expended. The members

a political target unless they failed
to do their duty. The Industries of
the state had right to live by right
and not by favor.
Mr.. Teal said he would not enter
into personalities, but he referred to
several matters that showed he was
able to hold his own in personal mat
ters. He would not defend the wick
ed jobbers of Portland. They were
able to take care of thmselves. The
railroads were public highways and
the people had the greatest right to
use them. On the face of earnings
the rates of the o. II. & N. were ex
tortionate. 1t was not necessary to
show that any particular rate was
wrong. The rates were unfair on
the face of them. As long as these
gentlemen had unrestrained power
they would abuse that power. II a
proper commission was created a
great deal of trouble would be saved
and few cases would be appealed
The state commission had no con-
troll over interstate rates. He read
from the message of Governors
Hughs and LaFollette that commits
sions should have the right of initia-
tive in making investigations OF
abuses. He showed by statistics what
the equipment of the companies were

as from Portland. He stated that
the rates from Willamette valley
points to Portland on products of
the country were less than same rates
on other railroads. Fruits and prod
ucts from southern Oregon went
east as low as from Hood River or
any point in the east. Eastern Ore
gon and southern Oregon paid higher
rates on merchandise than terminal
points. Mr.. Tteal at Spokane de-
manded that Spokane pay the coast
rate with local added. II Portland
controls the commission they would
make rates to give the merchants Of
that city a monopoly of Oregon mar
kets.
This commission bill he said au-
thorized the commission to investi-
gate of its own accord, file charges,
and then prosecute the charges. He
objected to commission having
power of initiative. There should be
the widest latitude in making COM
plants, but that power should not
be lodged in the commission. He
claimed that the power to review
rates was withdrawn under this bill,
except on the ground that the rate
was unlawful. There was no need
OF such power being vested in any
three men. Under section 81 there
was no right to set aside a rate that
was unjust to an individual. The
transportation committee of the Port
land chamber of commerce had asked
such special rates as would give them
a monopoly of the Boise market
500 miles east of Portland on east
ern made goods. He would never
agree that If such concessions were
made to the Portland jobbers, that
local rates in the interior of Oregon
would ever be made. He asked that
they be given a right to review rates
If unreasonable, but not as provided
in this bill as unlawful" He dis
cussed section 26, the demurrage
provision relating to car shortage.
There was no occasion to organize a
commission to cure car shortage,
