fact that the increased expense of bringing
up children In cities where the people

largely responsible for the decrease In the
birth rate"

THREE ISSUES
OVERSHADOW|NG
RAILROADS. TAXES AND
IRRIGATION AT SALEM.
Assessor Strain Testifies That Great
Ability and Earnestncss Are Ar
raycd on Both Sides of All the
Questions AIentioned-Apparently
Sentiment Leads in Favor of a
Railroad Commission,

Assessor C. p. Strain returned this
morning from Salem, where he ap-
peared before the legislative commit
tees on taxation in behalf of the new
tax law offered by the state tax COM
mission.
Mr. Strain says the three overshad-
owing issues now before the legisla-
ture are the railroad commission, the
irrigation law and the tax law. on
all three of these issues the best talent
of the state is arrayed, and some of
the hearings before the legislative
committees have been filled with ora
torical fireworks and forensic colored
lights of every description. Both sides
of all these questions are well repre-
sented, and the greatest battle of the
| legislature will be waged about them.
From observation in Portland and
Salem. Mr.. Strain believes that the
preponderance of the sentiment is in
favor of the railroad commission. and
Il also appears that several radical
changes are sure to be made in the
taxation and assessment law. Among
the most probable changes in this lat
ter law are provisions for the treas
urer to collect the taxes for an in
| heritance tax and for level assess
ment Of railroad property.
\ large number of tax bills are be-
! fore the legislature, but there is n
/ disposition to give the bill presented
/ by the state tax commission prefer
ence as far as it is practical and ben
/ eficial.
/ The elimination of the senatorial
/ election has had an excellent effect
upon the legislative session, as there
| is now n determined effort on part Of
the members to expedite and study
| legislative questions

Salem, Jan. 31.-(Special.)- )-The
Senate this morning passed the bill
appropriating $4,000 for the Umatilla-
Morrow county agricultural fair-an
increase Of 5000 over the former ap-
propriations; and also a bill defining
the Umatilla, Wallowa and Union
county boundaries; making appropri-
ations for the Seventh and Fourth
agricultural Observation-Disclosures and
Serman counties: and a Dill for eX-
tending the portage railway to The
Dalles, for final action this afternoon.
Practically the only business of inn
portance before the house today is
the fight over the Jackson bill for
taxation of mortgages, which was re-
ported unfavorably by the committee
on assessment and taxation, without
giving him a hearing.
This is the first of a series of bills
by the tax commission endorsed by
the state grange, and will place about
$5,OOO,OOO taxable property on the
state tax rolls. This is the first evil
dence of an alleged corporation fight
against proposed measures to increase
;ha taxation which it WAS previously
charged, would materialize.

MULKEY IN THE SENATE.
Oregon's short Term senator Now in

the people of oregon have conferred
upon me. l am entering upon my du-
ties with a profound consciousness of
the responsibilities of the position"
He has selected Barry Bulkley as
his secretary.
Senator Mulkey said that on find
ing that arrangements We're conclud-
ed for allowing the Bristol case to
stand without further committee ac-
ton, he is disposed to acquiesce in
the arrangement as being the best So
luton of the case under the circum-
stances.

RAISE IN RATES
CO|NC|DENT
LANES INQUIRY INTO
ALLEGED RATE MERGER.
Railroad and Water Frcights Between
Portland and San Francisco Raised
at the Same Time, But General
Manager Cf Pacific Mail Denied
Collusion-ENplanatio of One VIII
Not Apply to the Other.

San Francisco, an. 3l.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane devot-
ed almost the entire morning session
inquiring into the alleged Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe merger The in
quiry was especially directed toward
ascertaining whether an agreement
had ever meen made between the two
roads whereby the Santa. Fe was ena-
bled to advantageously withdraw its
California and Oriental line steamers
plying between San Diego and the
orient, from the competitive field.
r. p. Schwerin, general manager of
the Pacific Mail. was on the stand.
Schwerin testified that besides the
fleet of steamers owned by the COM
pany 1t operates the Mongolia ana
Manchuria, which are owned by Har-
riman. Severance called attention to
the minutes, which showed that the
Oregon Short Line owned those
steamers, but Schwerin said that SC
far as he knew Hartman owned them
personally, and that Hartman
charged the Pacific Mail $4,000 n
month for the use of the steamers, the
money being sent to New York.
Schwerin testified that the san
Francisco & Portland Steamship COM
pany, of which he Is president had
recently raised the steamship rates,
and that at the same time the South
ern Pacific raised its rate to Portland.
Commissioner Lane brought out the
fact that the rise of the stenme: rates
followed conversation on the sub
ject with Traffic Manager Luce. of
the Southern Pacific. bur Schwerin
explained that increased wages to
stevedores, etc, made this advance
necessary. These increases did not
affect the railroad, he admitted.
Severance characterized the raise of
both rates at the same time as "a
coincidence" smiling as he spoke.
This nettled Schwerin, and he vol
unteered the statement that there was
no real competition between the rail-
way and the steamers, because the
steamers give better service and get
more freight than they can handle
without solicitation. This statement
was not relished by the railroad men
present.

Pushing the Extension.

Superintendent G. \. Carlson for
Porter Pros. & Welch, was an arrival
in the city yesterday morning from a
trip to Spokane. The snow, he says,
is not hindering the work on the Gull
desac- ac-Grangeville extension but on
the contrary is aiding in pushing the
work. Supplies are much more easily
gotten in and all camps are now be-
ing well stocked with supplies.
There is still shortage of men.
Mr., Carlson says, that they could
easily find employment for 200 la
borers at the present time if they
could get them. \ large number OF
men are needed in the canyon and
although, he says, they are shipping
in men from the east they are unable
to secure all they can employ. They
are still short on tunnel men who re-
ceive SO per day. while for all COM
mon labor $3.50 per day is being paid.

PENDLEToN, OREGON, THURSDAY. il

following resolution, which after be-
ing read, was adopted without a dis
senting vote:
Whereas. the welfare of the state
and its people demand that the great
transportation companies shall be
wisely regulated and shall be admin
istered with due reference to pub
lie interest to the end that all dis
elimination shall cease and rates and
charges shall be fair, and that the
service of these companies shall be
adequate; and
Whereas, the individual is power
less to render his own wrongs, but
must rely upon the state to exercise
its power of control of public corpo-
rations, and
Whereas, there has been prepared
and presented to the legislature a bill
which is substantially the Wisconsin
act, which is believed to be the most
effective of the railroad statutes in
existence and 1t is believed to meet
the present requirements Of the state,
and
Whereas, the same has received the
endorsement of the transportation
committee of the Portland Chamber
OF Commerce and the Oregon and
Washington Lumber Manufacturers
association, and
Whereas, we are confident that the
same reflects the sentiment of the
people of this section of the state,
Therefore be it resolved, that we
request the legislative assembly of
the state of Oregon to enact that bill
now pending before them above re-
ferred to and now known as house
bill No. 2, into law, and that we re-
spectfully request the Umatilla coun-
~ delegation in the legislature to

and submitted, except that it is i'm
material to use as to the method of
appointment of commissioners, and
Be it further resolved that it is the
sense of this meeting that this ques-
tion is above politics and that the
governor and the legislature should
reach some common ground as to the
