MOST important to the people ot souniorn uregon the order of the state railroad commission, written by Oswald West, ordering a reduction in nearly all classes of freight. The order affects almost every line of merchandise and effects a saving to nearly every pocketbook. While it does not mean so much to Medford in the way of creating a jobbing center, it helps by giving a greater spread between the carload and less than carload rates, than exist under the old tariff. The reduction means a saving of 20 per cent and over to the shipper. For instance, paper is reduced from 79 to 59 cents a hundred weight, a saving of 20 cents a hundred. It ought to be still lower, for if paper can be shipped from, the eastern mills 3000 miles to Portland for 75 cents, it surely can be profitably hauled the 300 miles here for less than 59 cents. Jut snippers are giact to get even uw pres ent reduction. The commission's decision is an opening wedge in the long fight inaugurated by Medford to secure terminal and distributive rates. It is peculiarly a Medford victory, for Medford, almost single-handed, appeared before the com mission demanding the revision. Other complaints are pending before both the state railroad commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission and still others are in preparation. It is to be hoped that the Southern Pacific will accept the revised rates without protest. The commission has acted conservatively and if appeal was taken to the courts, the new rates would undoubtedly be sustained, as every other order of the commission has been. In this case, as in others, the commission was sure of its ground before acting. Its decision ordering 16 per cent reduction in grain rates on the O. R. & K, the 16 per cent reduction in express rates, and its other orders have all been upheld. x Oregon's state railroad commission has repeatedly jus tified its creation and saved to the people many times its cost. -t I m) w I n -TV-- mtn.nnifUA BJvar apples won sweepstakes prise and Ay-ale Ha of th We!" aft fee National Apple Show.

GILLETT DECIDES SPECIAL SESSION EUREGA, Cal., Sept. 24. Gover nor James N. Gillctt has decided to call another session of the legisla ture to correct the alleged defects in the wording of the constitutional amendment adopted at the last ses sion. The session will be called early in October. Governor Gillette was in Eureka today and when interviewed by a representative of the United Pre3S said that ho believed that he had been wrongly advised when he first considered the request of the Mer chants' association, asking that a special session bo called to insert three words which were believed vital in the portion of tho amendment directing how the tax levy was to be assessed. The governor at 'first thought the words were not essential, but after further deliberation believes they are imperative and that it will be neces sary to call a session and havo them inserted. The session will meet Oc tober 1 or 2. Governor Gillett returned to Eol river this afternoon, where he will remain until Tuesday. He will then go to Sacramento and it is likely the call for the session will be issued at once. Tho governor today stated that ho has concluded that the omission of tho three words pointed out by the San Francisco merchants are suffi cient to invalidate the amendment and that a special session is neces sary. 14 RECOVERED FROM WRECK 14 RECOVERED DENVER, Colo., Sept. 24. Four teen bodies have been recovered from the wreck of the Rock Island train near Clayton. Ten have been identified. Four are believed to be tramps who were stealing a ride. It was impossible to see the wash out, owing to a curve, it is said. When Engineer Pickenberg saw the danger it was too late. An examina tion of tho wrecked engine shows he' reversed and sot his airbrakes, Members of the Topoka Baseball club, who were on the wrecked train, arrived hero today. None was in jured. The third baseman, Stoffer, assisted the physicians all night. Stoffer, Second Basoman Welch and Catcher Ensley dug out ten of tho bodies recovered. They rescued fif teen injured from tho wreckage. TAFT DECIDES UPON ISSUES WASHINGTON. Sept., 24. Un der the title of a three day cabinet meeting and a houso party, Taft and the department chiefs will hold n prolong powow beginning Monday. All members will bo present with tho exception pf Dickerson, who is In China. It is expected that spine cab inet offers will go on tho stump for the congressional campaign and will sound tho keynote of Taft's policies bearing on the perplexities of tho present political entanglements that have been brought about by suc cesses of insurgents, and the prog ressive speeches of Roosevelt. It is expected that several political lead ers from various parts of tho coun try will bo called on for suggestions. The great question will be, "What about Roosevelt t" No ono is will ing to respond to the question under the circumstances, so many relics of the former administration nro in the present cabinet that it is considered doubtful whether the colonel is to be regarded as a friend or foe. Taft himself stands as a "couservator of tho Roosevelt policies." What is to be done about the tar iff is anpther question that figures prominent in the forthcoming cam paign, one which will call for somo reply from the defenders of tho ad ministration. Incidentally, the high cost of living will come in for some attention. Ballingcr himself is a campaign is sue .according to tho politicians. He declared today that the talk of his resignation is ancient history. Many think the discussion will settle tho question of Bollinger's retirement, but the impression prevails that he has been influenced recently by Taft that he will not bo asked to resign until at least tho investigation com mittee finishes tho case. Among departmental questions to probably bo taken up will bo federal charters for corporations, a now form of government for Aluska and ship subsidy, all part of Taft's leg islative program. President Tuft will bring up the prospective subjects of the forthcoming message, such as to recommend tho appropriations for fortifying the canal und the increnso in the number of army officers.
