for new legislative procedure that
will cripple Gang methods in the future.
The fight between Eaten ard Selling
has become a fight between Portland
and tne counties outside of Portland,
The Oregonian steadily maintains that
it's candidate, Selling is certain Of
election, and Mr.. Eaton says it has
even refused him its columns to state
his ease. Mr.. Eaton is appealing to the
country press and the country legisla-
tors to stand back Of him. Present
chances of election are even between
him and Selling, he maintains,
As for 1913, when the Portland ma.

had, " says Mr.. Eaton "'TtS appropria.

more than one.third the popua-

A bill to redistrct the state fer rep.
resentation in the Legislature probably
will be proposed at the forthcoming
session, according to a Portland Ore
gonian story, which thus gently breaks
the news Of how the MuItnomah comfy
machine expects to attain easy control
Of future legislatures. The above quo.
talon from the same Oregonian story
shows what the machine would like to
have.
The single city Of Portland now sends
20 men to the tate legislature. 1t has
l2 members Of the house and six mem.
bcrs Of the senate. IN addition, il has
the Multnomah Clackamas Columbia
Joint place IN the senate, which two
members not only represent Portland
but nearly always actually live in Port
land.
If under the proposed redistricting
the injustice to Multnomah county
is removed by giving Portland 30 lcgis.
Iators instead Of %, or one.third the
cntre membership OF house and senate,
the additional 10 will have to come off
the upstate membership.
Fu example, II all counties were to
be reduced to the same basis Of repre-.
sentation as that given Mutnomah as
ner present basis in the Orcgonian y
table, six legislators might have to rep.
resent Marion and Linn counties, in.

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Kea'ing,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.

When Governor Joseph W.
Folk was endeavoring to drag
Former President Mellen of the
New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad before the In
terstate Commerce Commission
and compel him to tell the story
of the shameful looting of that
once great system. the champions
of Dishonest Business made
noisy protest.

they cried, "It will be impossible
to convict him on any criminal
charge"
Folks response was character.

old man should pass the remain.
der Of his days behind the bars!'
President Wilson backed up
Folk, Mellen went on the stand
and told what he knew and, the
result is embodied in the amazing
report submitted to the Senate
by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The American
people now know that a band OF
financial buccaneers seized the
New Haven system at a time
when it was the soundest organ
jzation in the railroad world and
looted its treasury as Captain
Kidd might have gone through
the strong box cf a captured
vessel.
MILLIONS IN LOOT.
The minimum estimate of the
loot thus secured is 500, 600. 600
but the maximum estimate is
s2s7. 900, 600, and the minority
stockholders have already indi-
Gated their purpose to sue for the
latter amount. The Emperors OF
the Money Trust, j. P. Morgan
and William Rockefeller, are the
ones who are charged with cap
tanning the raiding party and
with having made away with the
greater part Of the swag.
1t is understood that Governor
Folk is now driving the probe
into another rotten railroad deal
and that the public will soon be
furnished with the facts concern
ing the spoilation of the Rock Is
land system. Certain Captains
of finance purchased a controlling
interest in the Rock Island for
$50, 100000. Then they organi-
zed two holding companies, one
in Iowa and one in New Jersey
and each with a capital of $3.50,
coo, 900. They certified to the
officials of both states that the
capital was fully paid in'.
What they really did was to ex-
change the stock of the New
Jersey Corporation for the stock
of the Iowa Corporation. They
paid" for the stock of the Iowa
corporation by printing beauti-
fully Autographed certificates
bearing the name of the New
Jersey corporation and they
paid" for the stock Of the New
Jersey corporation by US ing the
saue printing press to produce
certificates bearing the name of
the Iowa corporation!
Then they unloaded the entire
mess on the gullible investing
public and pocketed the differ
ence between $50, 900, 900 and
