Loveland Well Qualified
No Office for which nominees are
to be chosen by the voters at the
primary election Tuesday is of
greater Importance to the people of
the state than that of railroad COM
missioner. Demanding of its occu-
pants a large degree of highly spe-
cialized training and business and
executive ability, the office carries
with it no patronage such as falls
to the gift of the men elected to fill
many other state offices.
Colonel Harvey D. Loveland, the
present railroad commissioner from
this district, who is seeking nomi-
nation at the hands of the republi-
can voters to succeed himself, is the
man who has made the California
railroad commission what it is to-
day. His supporters say that it
was his appointment to the commits
sion nearly three years ago that
removed from its name a stain of
disgrace and has converted it into
an efficient, businesslike, active or
ganization.
The railroad commission is essen
TALLY a judicial body, dealing with
questions similar to those which
arise in the courts and authorized to
reach decisions from which appeals
lie to the courts. 1t demands of it's
occupants not only legal knowl-
edge, but a knowledge of traffic
matters which only years of close
study and experience can give.
Colonel Loveland has the qualifi-
cations for such a position to a
marked degree. He was admitted
to the bar in 1881 and is entitled
to practice before the supreme
courts of three states. Moreover, he
has been for years directly con-
cerned with traffic matters and
problems, having been president of
the Pacific Coast jobbers' and man
.ufacturers' association, president of
the trans Mississippi commercial
congress, director of the state board
of trade and director of the Manu-
facturers' and Producers associa-
ton.
