"We make no attempt to Impeach tho integrity of the connnlt.l'inors uor the justness of their Height schedule. They appear to bo dot) their level best for the people, and working hard to earn their salaries but, as we before remarked, where is the reduction on freights V" Roseburg Plalndealer. As every Intelligent personjknows, the railroad commission under the new law promptly revised the Southern Paclfio Company's freight schedule, fouud them too high and sealed them down to what they con sider n just and reasonable rate, making u reduction of ten to fltteeu per cent, ou freight rates applying to all farm produce. The railroads refuse to comply and take the matter into the courts to defeat the orJer of the commission lowering tho rates. For the information of Tho Plain dealer, let It be said that the com mioiou has douo all it could do, or all that any commission has ever lone, and done it with oxceeding promptness, energy and intelligence and now awaits tho action of tho courts. Fo far, all tho actions of the Oiegon courtH have been to sustain tho commission. What tho Oregon hu promo court, or the United States supremo court may do when tho cases reach them remains to be seen. What the supremo court at Washington and other state supremo ourtshavo decided is well known They- have uniformly sustalued tho right of legislatures to delogato the power of fixing just and reasouablo lates to a commission subject to ju dicial investigation. That investi gation is now being mado beforo a referee at Salem, Hon Wm. Holmes. That It will bo fairly nud, fully and impartially conducted no one know ing tho referee can seriously doubt. Tho Southern Pacific Company has met with a terrible series of re bukes this year. The passage of Oregon's progressive railroad laws; tho defeat of Its attempted removal of cases to Judge Deady's court; the sustaining of commission In Judge Boise's court; tho jury vordlcts against it for discriminations In Linn county; tho line of tho court of $1,000 for each violation of tho Hoult law; tho rulings of tho court holding it liable for each act of dis crimination under tho samo law. i'lils forms a series of stnto indict ments that declare tho management of tho Southern Pacific Company to ben lawless one, defiant of all legal restraints to protect tho people. It had much hotter reverse Its policy nnd become a law abiding corpoia tion. Wo have go no to this length to show tho importance of tho situa tion. The railroad management is rebellious and repudiates state con trol. The peoplo are not going to ho bin fled or bulldozed out of proper regulation and control. Tho dn uiuud for state supervision is grow ing stronger and there Is an advance by tho peoplo all along the lino toward stato control of railways. vetted. Tho sentiment of the entire press of the state, with the exception of the Orooninn, says the Dalles Chronio'e, Is nppetl to tho Wash lugtmi portage, or at least sees no efleetnal reliif in tho Paul Mohr schetno On behnlf of a road ou the Oregon s-lde the World says: Tl at Biioh a project would bo a 3UVCO19 financially thero can bo no douli', and there is no reason why It should not be. The next legislature, at all events, could cut the gordlan knot; and no doubt will do so. No reasonable business man thinks for a moment that toe portago on the Washington side will accomplish tho object aimed at, and probably no offer at present beforo tho public would satisfactorily do so. One fact cannot bo overlooked in an undertaking of such vital Im portance to Portland and tho people of Oregon tho management should be amenable to Oregon laws -and this can only bo accomplished by building the lino south of the Columbia. Tho exigencies of tho case Imperatively demand this, tho interests of a few Spokiiuo and Seattlo capitalists to tho contrary notwithstanding. Wo think tho peoplo of Eastern Oregon at tho next election will enuueiato this fact with no uncertain sound. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.
