."PORTLAND'S PULL
I That Portland has " a strong
pbfitical pull on Eastera Oregon
is a I fact. Why, it exerts that
pull! with such t nergy '" ia not
I known so well east of. .the Cas
1 cades because our people do not
I slop to consider tbat the city of
Ijurvinnu is uuuig a juuuii(
trade'of over $100,000,000 worth
a year,'tbe larger part of . which
is done ywith, Eastern Oregon.
At least half of the goods that
Portland deals in comes to it iu ' The accredited represf nlotiyes
ocean 1 snips at ireignt rates and autnorizea agents ot tne
much lower than railroad rates. ' Republican party in Union
These are sold . not with county will meet tomorrow In
ship, freights but car f. -eights ao Elgin to consider on things pur
that as far as Portland's custo- tinent to the welfare of. the party
in this county. By far the
most important duly of the con
vention will be to cousider the
interest of Republicanism , in
Union county mid agree upon a
plan that ill mt'.ke the success
of the whole county ticket the
paramount issue at the June
election.
It is time that -the members
of the Republican party in
Union county should Assert their
manhood and demand that their
own county convention at least
consult the interest of residents
of Union county as paramount
to the ambition of men in re
mote parts of the state.
The Republican voters of
Union county demand of the
Elgin convention that it place
men on the ticket for county
0 dices to be elected, and not as
pawns to be traded off or kuived
at tbe polls in the iuterest of
nonresidents. It has heretofore
been iu a hubit of ignoring the
riclits and feelings' of Union
county Republican candidates
and treating tbcm as chatties to
be slaughtered at the polls ' to
further the ambitions" of West
ern Oregou men, to' the extent
that the Democrats have held
nearly all the county offices in
this a Republican county. It is
time to stop this. The Elgin
convention can stop it by select
ins men for the county ticket
with reference to their capacity
and ability to serve Union
county, and not with reference
to their zeal to serve tbe interest
of ambitious nonresidents. If
it does this the whole ticket can
be elected from top to bottom.
mers are concerned there bad as
well be no oceans. ' -The higher
railroad ' freights are on the
smaller part of the goods Port
land. sells to Eastern Qregonians
the higher she marks them all.
Under existing conditions the
railroads charge to all parts of
Eastern Oregon for goods ship
ped from the East, full rates
from the shipping point, New
York, Chicago or any other
place to Portland the terminal
or "common point" and local
rates back to the place where
ordered and unloaded. This
gives. Portland an additional ad
vantage and enubles it to - defy
competition from the: East, in
Eastern Oregon. 1
.The ' Iuterstate Commerce
Commission for over ten years
has been asking Congress to
amend the Interstate Commerce
law so that it can interpose and
declare illegal such a . way ; of
charging for service not read
ered, but Portland, that makes
hundreds of thousands, of dollars
yearly off the people of Eastern
Oregon by reason of the present
mode of marking freight charges
by rail, has strenuously but
silently opposed such amend
ment. ; It makes its opposition
to the lowering of freights and
cheapening of goods to the
people of Eastern Oregoo effect
ive by joining with the railroad
companies and keeping railroad
attorneys from Oregon in the
United States Senate and mem
bers of the lower house who
"harmonize" with tbe senators.
