for people to invest money in a ship
company as long as that ruling
stands?
The commerce court ruled that it
is alright for the railroads to meet
water competition. The decision says
it is proper for the roads to haul
freight from New York to Seattle at
lower rates than from New York to
Spokane, or to Pendleton, provided
the spokane rate is not unreasonable
and the Seattle rate is not unremun-
erative. How a Spokane rate can be
reasonable that is higher than Il Sc
aisle rate the court does not say.
There Is room for doubt as to the fun
effect of the qualifying clause. But
il is plainly the purpose of the COM
merce court to allow railroads to
meet water competition. In other
words, they may haul freight by rail
as cheaply as it may be brought by
steamer through the canal. That will
mean that little freight will come by
steamer as long as the ruling stands,
1t also means that the interior will
have to pay for the railroads fight
against water competition.
When the commerce court gave its
reactionary decision it dealt a blow
at the steamship business as well as
at the interior. With that decision
ir force it should not be necessary
for railroad men to form a conspir-
acy to job the financing of an ocean
to-ocean steamship line. The con-
spiracy of the commerce court should
be sufficient

SHIFTY, But UNWISE,

The Oregonian thinks it is a smooth
juggler. 1t still plays on the idea
there is no difference between the or
ganization of a Taft campaign COM
mittee, as the committe should have
been formed, and the delivery to the
Taft forces of the republican state

That paper tries to show the East
Cregonian is inconsistent on this SUBJ
ject and claps its hands in childish
glee.
But people who are even half way
Informed on political topics know the
East Oregonian is right and that the
Oregon Taft committee was formed
was a criticism well made. 1t is the
same criticism that would be made
Of an umpire who might take it upon
himself to award a baseball game to
enc team or the other before the
game had been played.
The Oregonian is well informed as
to the facts in this affair and realizes
that the truth is against it. Yet high
brow" organ that it is it tries to i'm
pose on the ignorance Of its readers.
II is a contemplate course to take
and it is doubtful if even those who
find their only political gospel in the
Portland morning paper will be de-
ceived thereby AS for the East Ore
gonian this paper is quite sure its
own readers are Of sufficient intelli-
gence to understand the matter
Alright.
The Portland OregOnian will learn
in time that the people at large are
more capable than it thinks and that
they are somewhat awake to dawn
ing political truths, even though the
Cregonisn itself shuts it's eyes and
processes not to see the rising sun.

this plant would pay for itself, and

official should take the public into his
confidence in all mHtters of import

censure or commend his acts as such

HOW CAN HE DO 1T?


John McCourt declared he would
uphold the Indians of the reservation
in using water for irrigating their al
lotments, but intimated he would not
uphold their right to water for their
land when it is rented. 1t is a very
peculiar position to take. 1t means
that the government proposes to pro-
tect the strong Indians who can work
but refuses to protect the aged,
the squaws and the children.
Many local people would like
to know how the United States
attorney can take such a course and
it would be interesting to hear more
upon this subject from Mr.. McCourt.
