DAILY CAPITA!,' JOURNAL SALEM.' OREOON. -TVESOAV, OCTOBER 18," 1010. iVER-CAPITAUZATIOfj IS RAILROAD COMMISSION IS CRIT- lICISKD FOR ALLOWING TOO MANY RONR8 AND STOCKS TO BE ISSUED. rortland, Ore, Oct. 15. Editor '-of the Journal: In the October. 1909 number of the Pacific Grange Bulletin I Bounded what was called "Note of Warning" to the Patrons of Husbandry. Calling tbelr atten tion to the fact that unless they were alert to defend their Interests, the railroad commission (of wnlch Os wald West, the Democratic candi date for the governorship Is a bright and shining light), would fall to do their duty under the law and permit the Oregon Electric to capitalize far beyond the actual cost of the road. There Is tin n"nlzntlon more stii- tld and IriCS foal tbo th farmers control, and It Is not to be wondered at that It fell on deaf ear. The Oregon Electrlo without any op posite hindrance from the railroad commission, have bonded their road - for 40,000 per mile and issued tock at the rate of $50,000 per mile so that now they have suffi ciently entrenched themselves so that the courts will authorize ratei to collect Interest on at least three times the cost of the road. I en close that publication and If It Is no, too long, so that the public may know more of the methods of tho railroad commission. I see that West claims favor of the voters bo cause the O. R. St N. R. R. Co. op poses him, but he never Includes the , Oregon Electric as among his ene mies. Although I am a Democrat, West can't have my vote. CHAS. R. CHURCH. "To the Grangers of the State of Oregon: "Relieving a situation exist that is to your advantage to be made known, I have asked this means to , come before you to divulge It. "The legislature of Oregon constl ' tuted a railroad commission In 1907, . whose morabers were given ample . authority to compel an observance jot law, by which the exactions and Impositions usual with corporation! of that kind could be kept within bounds. That it was Intended this ' law should first and foremost, hava ' the people's Interest lit view, was People Who Work Indoors With - . -.:::- i nilckly Rives best, and with one filling of the font burns steadily for nine hours, without smoke or smell. Has automatic-locking llamc apreader which . prevents the wick from being turned hieh enough to smoke, sad i easy to remove ' and drop bsck so the wick can be quickly cleaned. . It has a damper top and a cool handle. Indicator always shows the amount I f oil in the lont. The Hller-cap does not need to be screwed down ; it is put In Ilka a cork in a bottle, snd Is attached to the font by a chain, and cannot get lost. The burner body or gallery cannot become wedeid, becnuse of a new device la construction, and consequently, It can always bs easily unscrewed In sn Instsnt for rewicking. The reflection Is finished in japan or nickel, is strong, i titrable, well-made, built for service, and yet light and ornamental. DttUrt Butrwktrt.

It may on Its own motion Investi gate the same,' etc. 8o, Section 30 Drovldes tho method of procedure in such cases, and that It Pball effect a remedy. "Section 89 provides 'The Com mission shall have authority to in quire Into the management of the Illness of all railroad find. 8tllH ieep itse'lf informed," and Is gfven the right to exact such Information under pains and penalties against the companies refusing. "Section 67, summing up the du ties of the commission, says: 'it shall Inquire Into any neglect or vio lation of the laws of this state . . . and shall hiive power and It shall be Its duty, to enforce th provisions of this act etc. "From these . extracts It will be seen that its authority Is ample and Its duty mandatory. "Notwithstanding nil this, In on effort to compel the Oregon Electrlo railroad to construct a switch or sid ing at a station called 'Ryan.' on their road some four and one-half miles from Portland, and on com plaint to tho said commission, I have found them pettlfoggng and evading tholr duties In tho Interest of the railroad company, who aver that as there Is a switch one-half mile to the west and one a mile to the east, which they aver Is all that Is necessary, although for the want of direct wagon roads from either point to Ryan station, the distance for freight to be hauled back is over two miles In either direction The evasion of one, was that ther? is a law that 'private property cau not bo taken for private purposes'; this bundle of profundity conceiving that a railroad right of way is pri vate property and that a switch erected thereon Is the private prop erty of the community.

' i'houe 660. argued that 'the money market was very close and they did no feel liko being over exacting against rail roads Just at this time ' "The third one attempted to be fog the mutter by quoting the first half of Section 22, which only re quires good station accommodation! where they kwp an agent; omitting the last half which says 'all rail roads shall keep and maintain ade quate and suitable . . . switches, spurs and side tracks, etc., fo freight transported or to be trans ported.' .. "I cite this to establish clearly that the railroad commission, unless the fear of non-election Is put be fore them, seem very loth to compel an observance of the law. What I desire to accentuate to the farmer, however, and which most In terests him Is, that under a tax un lawful and loose permltment, the railroad commission has permitted the Oregon Electric Railroad com pany to fjle In their office a grossly exaggerated statement of the cost of the first 60 miles of their road from Portland to Salem (probably double It cost)t without prgtest orxarnl natlon. The commissioners 'shall have the right to Inspect the books and examine the officers and agentu of the railroads touching this mat ter, and are directed to ascertain tho amount of money expended In tha construction, equipment, right of way, etc.,' and for comparison 'to asecertaln what It would require '..i construct a similar other system,' to see if there has been an attempt at over-valuation" and over capitalisa tion. So far as Is known this they have not done, or if so. In an ex parte way. It stands the farmers of Oregon,, more than any one else, to see that Oregon Electric, like pre vious roads, is not largely capital ized on wind an water, to the end that fares and freights be not un necessarily Imposed for their want of diligence. "I want to suggest, therefore, that the Grnnger. 2 a body and sev erally as Individuals resolve on thU subject, and request that the Iniqui ty of over capitalization be not fast ened upon them, through want of vigilance, where the law If properly administered. Is so adequnte to pre vent It. Write the governor about it, and when an Investigation Is had appoint a commltteo to see that no skulduggery or thlmble-rlgglng Is prnctlced. It seems to me theso matters are such as are most vital to an organization like that of the Grange association; and that the po tentiality, of your members Is such that the officials to administer thi lnw will be slow to run counter to their desires If they are vigorously made known.

FEW DOSES END KIDNEY MISERY AND BACKACHE Kidney disease is the most dang erous, because the first symptoms, are seen In other parts of the body before anything wrong Is noticed with the kidneys themselves. Some of he symptoms, though, cannot be mistaken; for instance, Blck, unhealthy kidneys cause thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sed iment, Irregular of passage or attend ed by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, or there is dull misery in the sides and loins, headachea, and dizzy spells may oc cur, nervous twlchlngs, disturbed sleep, Inflamed or puffy eyelids, weakness, bilious stomach, heart pal pitations Or the sufferer Is often weighed down by a feeling of lan guor or fatigue. The time to cure klduey trouble is while it is only trouble before it settles Into diabetes, dropsy, gravel of Blight's disease. The moment you suspect the slightest kidney, blad der of urinary disorder begin taking Pope's Dulretlc as directed, with the knowledge that there Is no other medicine, at any price, made any where else in the world, which will effect so prompt and thorough a cure. Don't be miserable and remain in danger another moment because of a lame back or clogged, inactive kid neys or bladder or urinary misery; all this will surely go after you take Pape's Diuretic for a few days. , j Your physician, pharmacist, bank er or any mercantile, agency will vouch for the responsibility of Papo.

Ilogurtlus Again Hits the Hull's Eye. This world famous rifle shot who holds the championship record of 100. pigeons In 100 consecutive shot Is living at Lincoln, 111. Recently Inter viewed, he says: "I suffered a long time with kidney and bladder trouble and used several well known kidney medicines, all of which gave me no relief until I started taking Foley's Kidney Pills. Refore I used Foley Kidney Pills I had severe backaches and pains In my kidneys with sup pression and a cloudy voiding. On arirlug In the morning I would get dull headaches. Now I have taken three bottles of Foley's Kidney Pills aud fuel 100 p r cent better. I am never bothered wtth my kidneys or bladder and again feel like my own self. This I owe solely to Foley's Kidney Fills and alwayi recommend them to my fUlow sufferers." Red Cross Pharmacy (H.

"I wish all might kuow c4 the benefit I received from your Foley's Kidney Remedy." says I. N. Regan Farmer, Mo. Ills kidneys and blad der gve him so much pain, misery and annoyance, he could not work nor sleep. Foley's KMney Remedy relieved him a'.most Immediately and ho says It effected a complete cure. Red Cross Pharmacy (H. Jerman) The Lord rewarded a hustler. A SIDE VIEW - OF PROHIBITION Another fact to bear In mind, as to liquor and prohibition, Is that proper use of liquor is no more a crime or a vice than eating sugar or beefsteak. This matter has been lost sight of by large number of persons In the present prohibition wrangle In Oregon. The moderate drinking of wine, or beer, or whisky, Is not a wrongful act, In world round opinion; excessive use Is a vice (not a crime), and Is guarded against best by warning and example and lessons of experience. , Vast numbers of citizens, the world over, use liquors soberly and properly; their example opposes the claims of prohibitionists and they will not accept the version of prohi bitionists that they are criminals or debauchers of youth 'or undesirable citizens. Persons who abuse themselves and liquor by getting drunk some times "reform" and come back to cry for prohibition; but they are hardly paragons for better men and women to Imitate who do not go down Into the gutter, though they may be paragons for their own kind. This is merely an lnterjectory re mark amid the polemics of the pres ent campaign. The fultllity of pro hibition law In large centers of pop ulation Is another and a very Im portant, side of the question, perhaps the most Important. There ari many sober men and women who will not concede that their personal liberties should be curtailed, Just because other lndlvluals go the wrong path. Oregonlan. jit STATE NEWS.
