the responsibility is fixed and certain
and 1t has been the experience OF
other states that in no other way can
relief be assured.
The control of railways and. the
regulation of rates has become a
burning question in this country, and
large share of the time of the first
session of the present congress was
devoted to the subject of interstate
railway regulation and control. Every
reason and argument which was urged
in support of interstate regulation and
control, applies with equal force to
regulation and control Of traffic which
is intrastate and local, and subject
to the jurisdiction of the state au-
thoritles. Recent and continuous dis
cussion of the subject renders 1t un-
necessary for me to dwell at length
upon conditions in Oregon, which sug-
gest prompt action at your hands to
relieve situation both unprecedented
and unjustifiable.
1 earnestly recommend, therefore,
the passage of a law creating a rail-
road commission, to be appointed by
the executive and subject to removal
by him for failure to properly dis
charge its duties, with ample powers
to carry out the purpose of its crea-
ton. In this connection I commend
to your consideration a bill prepared
by the transportation committee of
the chamber of commerce of Portland
1t shows careful preparation, and con-
tains provisions which have been test
ed in other states and which in many
instances have received the approval
of courts of last resort.

land by the Usual Routes Followed

The following review Of the CO.
lumbia and Snake river situation
from the Oregon Daily Journal
shows that the cold weather has Sc
riously interfered with river traffic.
The Journal says:
Snake river will probably soon be
frozen solid. The steamer Lewiston

OF the Spokane to run for winter
quarters. The Mountain Gem will
make an effort to get to Evans be-
fore she goes out Of commission. The
government dredge Wallowa is safe
at Lewiston.
The sudden appearance of the ice
In the Columbia has greatly affected
the business between Portland and
Vancouver. 1t has effectually cut off
the garrison and the townspeople
from mail and supplies. While an
effort will be made to have govern
ment matter transported via Kalama,
this route is long and not available
for passengers.
The oldest citizen" has predicted
that the freeze-up will only last a few
days and by the beginning of the
coming week there will be no sign Of
ice In the Columbia. At present.
however, there are no prospects of a
chinook and the advent of snow
would undoubtedly freeze the river
solid.
During the winter of 1889 the
river at Vancouver closed three
times. In January there was an ice
blockade which put stop to navi-
gation for nearly two weeks. In Feb
ruary the river closed again, but for
only few days.

Chamberlain IL Inaugurate,,

Salem, July 15.-Governor Cham.
berlain was this afternoon inaugurated
for the SECOND term. His message ad-
vocates the election of Bourne and
Mulkey to the senate, ratifying the
popular choice; the creation of ar
appointive railroad commission and
reciprocal demurrage law: the i'm
provement of waterways; the acquisi-
tion by the state of the Willamette
locks at Oregon City; the maintenance
of the portage railroad at Cello by
the state, even at a loss.
He recommends an income and in
creased inheritance tax and law
making lobbying illegal unless the
lobbyist states his purpose to the gov
ernor and the legislature; a law lin
iting election expenses; the prohibi-
ton Of corporation campaign contrib
utons; an anti-pass law; an appro-
priation defraying the travelling ex-
penses of state officers on state busi-
ness: state banking law and a lib
eral appropriation for the Alaska Yu-
kon-Pacific and jamestown fairs.
vi NltfIiIII1SS1O1.
The most prominent public issue be-
fore the Oregon legislature Is that of
railroad legislation and on this sub
ject Governor Chamberlain has ex-
pressed his sentiments at length in his
message.
That portion of the message dealing
with the creation of a railroad COM
mission is as follows:
1t is automatic that railroad COM
pany is a quasi-public corporation
and the public has an interest in its
proper operation and in the regulation
and control of its rates and fares, as
well as in the proper rendition of the
services required to be performed by
1t. In those states where this right
has not been asserted the railroad
company and the public stand meas,
urably in the relation of members of
a great partnership. with the man.
ayers of the company debating its
policies and establishing its rates. not
only without consulting the public,
but frequently in such a way as to in
Juriously affect their most vital inter-
ests. Not otherwhere and in no other
business does such an anomalous sit
uation exist.
The state has a primary interest in
the establishment not only of a uni
formity of rates by railways, but in
seeing to 1t that the rates charged
are just and reasonable throughout
its boundaries, and 1t is no argument
against this right that the state has
been slow to assert It.
