Judge John z. Raker of Modoc de-

THE DOGS OF WAR
Seth Mann loosed the dogs of war
again by his paper advocating a con-
stitutional amendment which would
make the railroad commissioners ap-
pointive instead of elective.
AN excellent example of the ad-
vantages of the appointive SYSTEM
said Mann, has been furnished by
Colonel H. d. Loveland, appointed by
Governor Gillett to succeed Wilson.
Since Loveland has been a member OF
the commission it's work has been
marked by an activity unknown in the
preceding Is years.
THE governor is not responsible now.
Make him and his party responsible
to the people and leave the question
of the commissions power with the
legislature. Give the governor this re :
ssponsibility and he will not dare an
point the stripe of men who have been
elected from this city"
Theodore Bell said he wished to ex-
cept to an interview given The Call

presence. Mann promptly verified the
interview when Bell asked him If ~
were true that he had advised the com
mission not to bring the suit for ref,lna
of the 10 per cent increase as directed
by the legislature. Bell assumed that
