WOULD AMEND LAW.
To Prevent Wholesale Raising Of
Freight Rates by Amend.
ment to Present Law
SHIPPERS TO HAVE A CHANCE

To amend the Railroad Commission
law so as to prevent the roads from
increasing freight rates without first
securing the permission of the commits
sion is to be one Of the important tasks
of the legislature of 1909.
In memorandum filed with Gov.
Davidson the Railroad Commission has
suggested that in order for railroad
regulations to be effective the commits
sion law must be so amended that
wholesale raising Of rates can be pre-
vented. 1t is believed the governor
will recommend such an amendment in
his message.
The recommendation is in accord
with that of the interstate commerce
commission IS latest report, which WAS
based upon the ground that the public
could not secure decrease in freight
rate without affording the carriers a
preliminary hearing and that it was
equally incompatible with common JUS
tice that the public must be held to an
increase Of freight rates without first
having opportunity to be heard.
The similarity of the two reports
cli.-ches Wisconsin s connection with
the universal demand for more Just
railroad legislation closer than ever.
1t is understood the railroad commits
sioners are not unit on the change,
I'M ho+ fyun Of hot
amendment is absolutely necessary
and that the other member is opposed
to any change in the present law.
Under the Wisconsin law as it stands
now railroads may increase their rates
by simply fling the new tariff with the
commission. One of the commission
ers declares that a. great injustice has
resulted to the shippers.
Hundreds Of changed rates are filed
with the commission every day, and the
commission has found it impossible to
run through these and ascertain what
rates have been raised.
Even had this been possible. still the
commission would have had to insti-
tute HedllHSo IL 0dcH CASE dild TO COLI
duct Investigations before ordering any
changes, thus greatly multiplying its
work
Shippers have complained of many
increases, and in such cases the com
mission has been able to order reduc-
tons. However, the fact that the rail
roads made a fight to keep the PROVE
sion out of the original law is taken
as evidence that they will use all their
power to defeat such an amendment
being made at this session.
It is believed that insofar as the rail
roads are concerned this will he the Big
piece Of legialation of the session and
will develop into one of the big fights

WILL NAME BROKER
Former President of the Chicago
Brass To Head Republican
National Committee
TO SUCCEED r. H. HITCHCOCK

Charles f. BROKER of Ansonia, Conn,
formerly president Of the Chicago Brass
Works in this city and one Of the larg-
est stockholders of the local company,
according to dispatches from Washing
ton, has been slated to succeed Frank
III. Hitchcock, former Kenosha man,
as chairman Of the National Republican
Committee. It is probable that the Sc
lection Of Mr.. BROKER will not be made
public until after the Inauguration Of
President-elect Taft on the 18th Of
March, At that time Mr.. Hitchcock
will give up his place as chairman of
the committee and become postmaster
general.
Mr.. BROKER is distinctly a business
man and he has been well known in
Kenosha since the big plant of the Chi
cago Brass company was taken over by
the American Brass company. Mr..
BROKER was the first president of the
local company after the change and he
made many visits to Kenosha. He laid
the plans for the great additions to
the local plant which are now nearing
completion and has always taken a
deep interest in the Kenosha industry.
Notwithstanding his connection with
the great industries of Kenosha and
Ansonia, Mr.. BROKER has given a
great deal Of time to politics in the past
ten years and he has been an active
worker in the ranks Of the committee.
It is rather remarkable coincidence
that two chairmen Of the National
Committees should have been "Keno-
sha0 men.

Not since the commerce of the Great
Lakes has attracted international at
tention have the people in the vicinity
of the turbulent inland seas been so
interested as they are in the approach
ing elimination of the work of the
Great Lakes Radio Telephone company
in installing it's stations along the
shores and upon the vessels that ply
between Duluth, Chicago and Buffalo.
Already an indispensable adjunct Of
the equipment Of the United States
Navy, the warships of Italy, and
rapidly being installed on the battle
fleet of Great Britain, the widely
heralded wireless telephone invented by
the noted electrical expert and scien-
fist, DR.. Lee DeForest, has made pro-
nounced commercial success as we'll
When it is realized that about eighty
per cent of the gross water tonnage of
the entire continent passes over this
dangerous waterway eastward from
Duluth, and eig-4. states, with an ag
gregate population of more than thirty
five millions, receive tribute from this
enormous commerce, an idea may be OBJ
tanned of the Importance of the stupen-
dous work of the Radio company in
erecting and maintaining it's great sys-
tenn of stations, which will report ac-
curately every detail as to position of
vessels, approaching storms and other
disturbances against which those who
go down to the sea in ships are COM
PEELED to contend.
When it is recalled that the ships on
our great inland seas, number more
than 1000 freighters and $50 passenger
steamers, as well as nearly $4,000 craft
of other types, the Importance of an
adequate signalling system to replace
the primitive method now in vogue,
will be appreciated. The story Of
numerous wrecks and appalling loss of
life annually, is familiar one.
Already contracts have been signed
for the erection and equipment of
twenty-one wireless telephone towers on
buildings in Chicago, ILL.,; Toledo,

Governor Davidson in His. bien.
nial Message to the Legis-
Iature Urges Changes
WOULD GIVE CAMPAIGN COST
Governor Insists However That the Elk
penses Of Candidates for Nomina
ton Should be Known
Before Election Day

Gov. Davidson Thursday sent his BIZ
ennial message to the state legislature
outlining his views on legislation to be
enacted at this session. He advocates
a number of reforms and indorses much
Of the progressive" legislation passed
at previous sessions Of the legislature.
A most notable feature of the mes
sage is the governors Endorsement of
the insurance legislation which has
been declared by number Of life COM
panies to be SO radical that they could
not continue business with profit in the
state. If, however, he says there has
been some misunderstanding of The
statutes by the companies, then there
should be correction, but he says sthere
should be no sacrifice of the principles
of these acts for that purpose.
The governor advocates changes in
the primary election laws which would
provide particularly for the rotation of
names on the ballot.
Anent the notable late senatorial con
troversy in which large sums of money
were used, Gov. Davidson believes that
the primary act should be so revised as
to provide for the fling of election
expenses before the primary election.
In this connection be says:
In view Of the large sums Of money
which the official statements of candi-
dates show were expended during the
last campaign preceding the primary,
it is well to consider whether there
may not be some way devised by
which expenditures by candidates for
office may be limited. A provision re-
curing candidates and committees to
make and file public statements show
ing the amount expended and the pur-
pose Of the expenditure, before the
primary instead of after It, and MAX
ing the fling of false statements
disqualification for office, would tend
to discourage the excessive and i'm
proper use Of money!
The governor points out a dangerous
amendment to the constitution Endorsed
by the people at the recent primaries
It provides that the state may appropri-
ate money for public highways. The
governor says:
"This is a very important and far
reaching amendment and one which
opens the door of the treasury to the
discretion of the legislature to an ex-
tent not probably suggested by a cas-
ual reading < The amend
ment now gives unlimited authority to
the state Since all our
navigable streams and waterways, rail
roads and canals, as well as our wagon
roads, are "public highways, it will
be seen that the authority Of the legis-
lature, under the amendment, is very
comprehensive, indeed. i
call your attention to this fact for the
purpose of impressing upon you the
necessity Of a conservative and careful
exercise Of the great power conferred
by this amendment

THE NEW STAMP ISSUE

The new issue of two cent postage
stamps do not bear the numerical

VALIANT MEN.

1t is amusing, though disgusting, to
note the attitude which some prohi-
btionists take towards this paper. Be-
cause the East Oregonan has dared
try to find a better solution for the
liquor problem than the one under
which Pendleton has 13 blind pig"
saloons some men are now busy try
ing to give out the impression that
this paper has been bought over" by
the saloon interests or by some other
"interests." That stories to this ef-
feet are as false as hell those men
know well. If they don't know 1t
they should know.
The old time saloonman loves the
East Oregonian as much as the devil
does holy water and he has reasons
for his feelings. This paper fought
the old time saloon and gambling in
terests and fought them hard in the
days when there was something to the
fight. In those days the saloons were
all powerful and the East Oregonian's
fight meant loss of business to the
paper and personal danger for every
man upon the paper from editor,
manager. solicitors, reporters and
printers down to carriers and news
boys. At times nearly every desk in
the office concealed a pistol for use in
the event some of the threatened at
tacks upon the office should oe under
taken. Some of the fights that did
occur are we'll remembered by the
people of Pendleton.
In those days the saloons were up
held by men who are now valiant in
behalf of prohibition. Now that the
skies are blue these men are extremely |
brave but when the fight was hot |
hey either remained at a safe dis
lance from the firing line or openly
gave aid and comfort to the enemy
he rum dealers" When the dragon
Of immortality and vice was really |
llive and breathing fire in this town |
hese people patted it upon the back |
md catered to its whims. Now that
he dragon is dead they curse it, spit
Ipon its carcass and kick it in the
lbs. They are brave men indeed.

AUTUMN WINDS.

The winds of autumn now are sigh
ing, and wailing through the dusty
town; the garden sass and flowers are
dying, the world is turning gray and
brown. It is time of death and sor-
row; the plants that used to bloom
and blow, will all be broken down to-
morrow, and buried under mounds of
snow. The elm looks sad; their leaves
are falling, and drifting on the wind
swept lawn, and icy blasts will soon be
calling their triumph that the sum-
mer's gone. But let us at the fireside
gather, nor heed the tempest, wild and
chill. and harken to his words, while
father explains again the tariff bill.
In olden times it was the custom to
tell the children fairy tales, but now
the tariff rates-dad bust 'em!-are
what they get when daylight fails The
giant killers awful vigor no longer
fills the night with gore; and Riding
hood will never figure about the fire
side any more, and Robin Hood won't
dodge the sheriff, or answer him with
taunt and scott, for dad is talking of
the tariff, and there's no way to head
him off!-Walt Mason in Portland

sLEUTHs OF FICTION.

I'm weary now of Sherlock Holmes
and all the initiative crew; I'm tired
of triumphs built upon n collar but
ton as a clue. The sleuth is always
tall and thin, with nervous hands
and hawk-like face; he scours the
sums or moves around in marble
halls with equal grace. He always
takes some kind of dope or plays the
flute or violin. and when he's billed
for active work he CLUES false whisk-
ers on his chin. He always has a
Watson near, a tiresome chump, who
sits and broods the while the selling
pater sleuth reels off string of plat
itudes, Detective yarns are all so
stale! The plot is evermore the
same; we always have the murdered
man with knives or bullets in his
frame; the pantry window is unlock
ed; the same's been opened with a
file; suspicion shifts until it rests on
every man within a mile The local
papers blunder round and ball things
up in fr,ghtful Ihape, and then the
great detective comes, with lens and
rule and meas'ring tape; he crawls
around upon the floor, examines all
the water mains, and tastes the ash
es in the stove, and sticks his nose in
to the drains, and then he says the
problems solved; forthwith he spends
two weeks or more in showing Watson
and the world how easy tits to be a
bore!-Walt Mason in Portland Jour
nal.
