DO NOT FAVOR GOV-
T
SALEM, Ore., Jan. 13. Opposition
to the McAdoo plan which would al
low the railroads to renTaln . under
Government control experimentally
for five years 1b voiced In the answer
of the Public Service Commission to
the request of Charles E. Elmqulst,
president of the National Association
of Railway and Utility Commission
ers, and approval is expressed of a
plan for the return to control under
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the state commissions In a tele
gram Bent today.
. The Oregon commission outlines
Its plan as follows: ,
"We are opposed to the five-year
plan now urged before congress for
the reason that industries and short
line roads of this state cannot endure
a continuation of the extreme handi
cap under which they have patriotic
ally endeavored to operate during
Federal control. Shippers cannot
continue paying a greater proportion
ate increase in rates than that of
their competitors of more favorable
locations when they all reach the
same competitive market in the East.
"Railroad officials under whatever
title they may act being clothed with
jveaerai authority witn responsibili
ties, approaching obligations, to the
roads which they formerly represent
ed cannot fairly and equitably at the
same time act as original arbiters and
judges in controversies that constant
ly arise between shippers and rail
roads, and It will continue to result
in more or less confusion and delay,
unfairness to shippers and unsatis
factory service to the general public,
The undetermined legal aspect of the
state jurisdiction, coupled with the
uncertainties of redress, forces the
opinion that any extension of the pe
riod of Federal control as at present
constituted is a disadvantage for the
people in general throughout the
west, and very inadvisable.
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS.
(Continued from page 1.)
examination of the state penitentiary
and learn tne real truth about a sit
uation which has been made the foot
ball for politics, spiteful vengeance
and deceiving manipulations. Al
though the physical status of the
penitentiary properly leaves much to
be desired, I am well pleased with
the administration of the institution
under the first management of my
own Individual choosing. In a month
the new -warden has been amazingly
effective in his work and I am con
fident that anyone conversant with
actual .conditions will concede read
ily that this penal institution is now
being administered on a most satis
factory basis. Considering the re
sponsible and exciting nature of the
work, I feel the warden is underpaid
as an official.
Need for a new cell house Is
mentioned, but "because of the pres
ent disheartening status of the state
finances, it may be necessary to defer
for another two years this almost im
perative improvement." The outlook
for the handling of the flax industry
at the penitentiary is good according
to Governor Withycombe, although
the past two seasons have been the
most unfavorable, climatically, of the
last forty years to flax growing. He
expressed doubt as to the wisdom of
laws, which prevent the sale of
prison-made articles In competition
with those manufactured by free la
bor. "The population of the Oregon
prison is so small," he declared, "that
the effect of removing this restriction
wouldi have at most but a negligible
influence on the labor market. When
we consider that the taxpayers of
Oregon are paying for the sustenance
of the penitentiary inmates is seems
short sightedness to erect legal ob
structions which serve to prevent
them from earning their own way
as nearly as possible during incar
ceration, a law granting prison au
thorities a free hand to dispose of
any commodities that may be produc
ed advantageously by the prisoners
woufd undoubtedly tend toward econ
omy 'and lower upkeep, as well as to
ward a hotter morale among the
men.
In connection with consideration
of highways, the governor suggested
a law requiring drivers of both pas
senger automobiles and motor trucks
to bring their vehicles to a complete
stop, before crossing railroad tracks
outside of tovn and cities.
With reference to fish and game
legislation, he advocated the ceding
