Canada's status as a belligerent re-

might be expected to give her maxi
mum of the benefits Of war resulting
from its artificial stimulus and min
imum Of its disadvantages.
But curiously enough the state of
affairs in the Dominion is strikingly
similar to that in this country. In

centers devoted to the making Of war
materials. Cities are struggling with
a problem of the unemployed. The
earnings OF railroads are falling off.
Reduction in the wages of workers is
said to be imminent.

down confidence in the railroad COM
mission.
Not so. The argument for elect
ing commissioners at large and not by
districts falls down from the fact the
interests Of all parts Of the state are
not in common. There are times
when the interests of a great ter
minaI like Portland differ from the
interests of the small cities and towns
Of the state.
In the past all over the country
there has been too much rate making
to suit big terminals and not enough
for the smaller places. There is
well grounded suspicion now that the
Oregon railroad commission is con-
trolled by Portland. Election Of COM
at large means Portland
control and that Portland will get
what it wants though the rest Of the
state may suffer. This cannot well
be denied.
Yet the Ritner bill is not unfair or
antagonistic to Portland. Portland
would still have a member on the
hoard. The city also has powerful
organizations with abil-
ity to get fair play and more for that
city. The Portland press is the DOM
mating political factor in the state
With the districting plan in effect
Portland would be amply protected
but in addition the other sections of
