COMMITTEES NAMED
IN PARTY CAUCUS
Bournc's Present Committee
Places Not Good Rcasonfcr
Asking Re- -elect.on.

In appealing to the voters for tielr
support OF his independent candidacy
Senator Bourne urges as the chief
reason for that support the fact that
he holds important and commanding
committee places In the organization
OF the Senate, There is nothing in thie
appeal. The fact is that the personnel
of every committee at each session Of
Congress is determined by party
caucus. What committees will Sena-
tor Bourne get In the new Senate, If
he should be reelected? He will have
abandoned the Republican party and
be returned as an independent or pop
nlar government" Senator. He is to-
day member Of the Republican SEN
ate caucus which makes the commit
tee assignments of the Republican
Senators.
Discussing this phase OF the situa-
ton; Portland paper made the fol-
lowing comment:
"Will Mr.. Bourne enter the Republi-
can caucus? After having defeated
the regular Republican nominee will
he be taken In II he seeks to enter?
VIII he have any political status what,
ever as an independent? The ques-
tion will not be determined by the de-
gires or wishes OF Senator Bourne, or
by any regard for his previous stand
ing in the Senate; but solely by the
political cxigencies of the Republican
majority, II there Is majority Or
It is Just as likely that there may be
a Democratic majority. In that case
1t might be expected that Senator
Bourne would traffic with the Demo
cratic party as practical man for
anything the dominant party might be
inclined to give.
"Whatever the facts about this in
teresting and doubtful question, it is
certain that Senator Bourne would be
obliged to adjust himself to a new
situation as new Senator In the
Senate, and 1t is further certain that
the faithful followers OF the Senator
who are declaring that the committees
he got as a Republican he may retain
rs an Independent are merely guess

The announcements of w. J.

the offices Of Joint Representative,
seems rather Inconsistent consider
Sng that heretofore they both were

owe their election at the last gen.

neither Of the gentlemen are on the
fioke. as the choice Of the people,
as intended by the direct primary
aaw, bur on the contrary, are di-
rectly opposing the principle Of that
law.
DO Mr.. Edwards and Mr., Jack
son, each having received two votes

ahe willof the people?
Nj. Campbell, Of Condor, and
Mr.. Potter, of Spray, submitted,
aheir names to the people at the

Bourne and the Tariff.

In an address In Portland few
days ago, Walter M. Pierce, prominent
Eastern Oregon Democrat, had the
following to say concerning Senator
Bourne and his tariff record:
But II Bourne ,is reelected, how
will he vote? Nobody knows and !
doubt II he knows himself. When the
Payne-A -AIdrich bill was being consid-
cred Bourne admitted ON the floor Of
the Senate that he did not know any
thing about the tariff but left that
with Aldrich with whom he voted in
nearly every instance. Neither do we
want man In the United States Sem
ate who is so close to the Standard
Oil Company--an intermediary. II you
please. for that corporation"

Mahaaey on the Railroad Com

Stating that Clyde B. Aitcheson,
Railroad Commissioner from the
Second District and candidate for
reelection, had wilfully neglected
Che needs of the state at the past
kwo sessions Of the Legislature, T..
P. l"Pa' Mahaffey, independent
candidate for this office, reviewed
ML Aitheson's official record be-
fore d large audience III Portland
Sast Saturday night.
"Mr Aitcheson says in his state
,nent to the voters in the election
pamphlet that he is entitled TO be re
elected because Ire has always served
lkhe interests Of the people, said Mr..
Mahafey in part, ''yet, when two
bills Of vital Importance to the state
at large came before .he last two ses-
sions Of the Legislature, we found Mr.,
Aitcbcson opposed to them.
at the last session. Senator J. N.
Burgess. Of Pendleton, introduced a
bill providing that the railroad must
post time table stating the exact
time Of arrival Of delayed trains. This
was TO prevent the railroad company
from making false reports Of delayed
trains, and to keep prospective pass
cngers from sitting III cold waiting
room for hours, not knowing the ex-
act time the train would arrive. The
bill passed the House and Senate, but
when it came before Governor West
for his signature the Governor vetoed
it because Mr.Aitclfeson and the other
commissioners were against its pass
age and prevailed Upon the Governor
TO take this action.
'.At the preceding session II bill
was introduced by Senator Nick Sim
nott, OF The Dalles, and provided that
livestock trains must be operated at
n speed OF not less than l5 miles per
hour. This bill was endorsed by
practically every livestock shipper in
fhe state, but Mr.. Aitcheson, with the
other Commissioners, went before the
Railroad Committee of the Senate and
told the members the bill was not
needed. as the Commission had ample
authority to enforce the law il this
particular, and the passage OF the bill
would mean an interference with the
work of the Commission. The result
was that the bill was defeated. but
ask Mr.. Aitcheson, OF any ether Com
missioner, to show me where they
have remedied conditions, and every |
cattle shipper knows they have moi.
sBoth of these bills are endorsed in
my platform. and ] will earnestly

Instead Of securing for Oregon its
Just and legal share of the Reclama-

the repeal two years ago Of Section
9 of the Reclamation act. This parti-
cular section specifically provided that
the bulk OF the money contributed by
any state to the Reclamation fund
from the sale Of public lands should
be expended In the state making the
contribution. The repeal of this sec
tion has made possible the further d.
version of funds belonging to this
state and their expenditure in the de-
velopment OF other nearby states.
The vital part Of the repealed section
read as follows:
