A GIGANTIC COMMISSION PROJECT.

In order have the Oregon Electric railroad carry float to
Portland to have the Salem Cherry Fair Queen appear in the Eks
parade the Oregon Railroad Commission had to issue order
The Oregon Electric railroad could not confer little favor
the community without getting permit from lot of off
cas acting the red tape methods Of commission with final
authority.
It proposed to have the Railroad Commission under the
Malaey Public Utilities Bill take charge of all street lines
gas light water and power plants in the state.
It would give the commission almost auocrac control
the lives property enterprises and public service, including
control Of it's city government in these matters
It would make the Railroad Commission about fifty thou
anddoar year affair for the taxpayers and they would have
small army of clerks and experts and lawyers in their employ
If the people want to extend the functions Of highly organized
commissions that pepeuate themselves forever and cO
uay extend their operations let them vote for the Maarey bill
But It only great step in the direction of state socialism
when great horde of officials will be doing everything for the
