DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS HIT

for Vote In Senate.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. I

Washington, July 19.-Speaking in
the senate today, Senator o. B. Cum.
minis, of Iowa, protested against what
he termed executive coercion" in the
framing of tariff law by congress.
he said in part:
Many bankers believe that the leg.
islative department of the government
should hold executive power; but it is
yet to be proposed in free govern
ment that single executive should
hold legislative authority over a great
people, yet we are drifting in that di-
rection.
~ doubt if there is a man in the
United States bold enough to assert
that the legislative branch of the gov.
ernment should be abolished, and that
the people should elect, at stated inter.
walls, a dictator who would make and
execute the laws. Yet it would be far
better to make this change than to tol.
crate a practice of executive coercion.
1t ought to humiliate all men when
they look around and find that the peo.
pie generally understand this surrender
OF our rights and privileges, but 1 oh.
serve it with certain degree of salts.
faction.
sit is very human to deride any
body of men who, lacking the courage
to assert themselves, are whipped by a
master hand into subjection. "
Senator Cummins denounced the dem.

stituted "not only invisible, but maud.
ible government" whose operation 'de.

ABOUT TIME SOMETHING
WAS DONE WITH dogs

Despite the fact that other city ad.
ministrations of Oregon and Washing.
ton are taking precautions to protect
citizens from mad dogs, no move has
been made in Salem. Hydrophobia has
appeared in Portland and Medford and
at many points in Multnomah and
Clackamas counties. Owners of dogs
have been ordered to tie them up or
muzzle them in Portland and other
districts but no move has been made
here. By acting now, the danger of
infection will be headed off, it is con.
tended.
1t is known that dog afflicted with
hydrophobia will often travel 80 miles,
biting other animals on the way and
spreading the disease.
Even if a dog is not mad, he may
have hydrophobia germs in his mouth,
and it is dangerous to get a bite at this
season.
Salem may escape the mad dogs, bur
it would be as well for the city admin.
istration to make it more certain and
order all dogs muzzled or tied up until
September /.

Bill Filed to Settle Jurisdiction
OF State Over Financial
Affairs.
SUIT IN ARIZONA ALSO
Action VIII Be Started to Test Valid
ity of Provisions Relating to
Roads Expenditures.
UNITED PRESS 1nAsnD wran.l

San Francisco, July ia bill il
equity was filed in the United State,
district court today by the Southern
Pacific to enjOin the California railroad
commission from asserting jurisdiction
over certain equipment trust certifi.
Gates, which the Southern Pacific pro.
poses to issue in New York for the pur.
pose Of acquiring rolling stock, which
1t will use in its interstate and intra
state business.
Company officials announced that a
similar suit will be filed against the
Arizona corporate commission to enioin
1t from asserting Jurisdiction over an
issue Of 22-year notes aggregating $780,.
100000, which the company expects to
issue for capital expenditures in the
states through which it operates.
The suits will bring to a point the
question of whether the individual
states can take jurisdiction over the
financial affairs of a railroad doing an
interstate business, The Southern Pa.
cific officials declare that if each state
undertakes to regulate the finances of
the road, it cannot work out a general
plan which will satisfy all.
Company Explains Suits
The company explained the purpose
of the suits today in a statement which
says:
"These suits are rendered necessary
because Of the broad provisions of the
public utilities statutes in both Califor.
MIA and Arizona, which declared void
notes, bonds and other evidences of in.
debtedness issued by any public utility,
operating within such states where the
approval Of the respective state railroad
commissions has not been obtained.U
It is alleged in the bill of complaint
that, because of these statutory pro.
visions and the claim of the respective
state commissions that their approval
IS necessary to the validity of all such
bonds and note issues, it is impossible
for the company to make the financial
essential to its interstate
business except on such terms as the
respective state commissions may i'm.
lOse.
All Of this, it is claimed, is in contra
'entiOn of the right of the company to
'ngage in interstate commerce without
Interference by state authority

Cooper Takes No
Chance of Injury
Hears Suspicious Sound While Hunt.
ing, Thinks 1t Is Bear, Runs and
Later Learns 1t Is Hog.

Ross Cooper, of this city, is being
critically surveyed by his trends since
his trip to Southern Oregon, and all be,
cause he got "skeered at hawg." AT
least, this is the story told by his
brother, Jack, who was also a member
Of the party.
1t appears tat Messrs. Cooper and
wives and Mr.. and Mrs. Mel Hamilton
recently took spin through the South.
ern section of the state in automobiles.
While down at the Umpqua river, Jack
and Ross got wind of wild cat, or
some other varmint, and went in quest
of the game. A guide assisted them,
and, after giving the proper directions,
the three men parted, one going on one
side of a canyon and one on the 9th.
er. Ross, it seems, took to the higher
hills, and, to his surprise found field
securely fenced off. Just as the hunt.
er climbed the fence loud grunt was
heard close by and much rustling Of
brush ensued. This settled Ross. He
hollered "bar," and Immediately
scooted. Jack and the guide soon gave
up the search and returned to camp,
where they found the other Mr.. Cooper,
much out Of breath and a trifle excited
He then related, between puffs, that he
ran across a bear in the brush and
didn't like to shoot it, for fear of
spelling the hide.
The joke is this. When Ross ex.
planned where he saw the bear, the
guide fell over backwards and roared
He Informed the hunters that a farmer
up the mountains is in the hog business,
and has fenced off a clearing for that
purpose. What Mr.. Cooper really heard
was an old sow with littG of pigs.
"Don't give durh,'' Says Ross, III
heard something that didn't sound ex.
actly right, and I wasn't taking any
chances. Anyway, I was tired of
hunting, so just gallOped back to
amp"

only just an average summer day.

near Wallace, who were blasting
