an effect upon the vote today. Many did
not vote on account of the weather.
This 4now at this time is baing received
with delight by the farmers and fruit
growers. It simply means another
thorough irrigation and the temperature is
such as to keep the fruit buds back.'
Now that the city election is over, the
voters will be able to devote more of their
time to the discussion of the county can
didates. The list will be largor. but it is
doubtful if the interest will be any more
intense. After the primary election, comes
the real election in June, and then a much
needed rest.
TWO CNT TARE POPULAR
Agitation for a two-cent railroad fare
has spread rapidly over the states since
the passage of the Ohio law arid the vol
untary reduction made by President Mel
len of the1 New Haven road. Railroad
officials of the east and west, according
to advices received by the pas longer traf
fic associations from various cities, admit
that the 2-cent fare ie bound, sooner or
later, to become universal and they are
only hoping the day of its' general adop
tion will be delayed as long as possible.
The abolition of the passes and the be
lief that two cents is enough for most of
the railroads east of the Mississippi in
densely populated districts to charge are
the two strongest influences in tlie propa
gation of the movement. Many railroad
officials themselves believe they must
offer the lower fare in order to meet the
competition that is developing. 'from the
spread of interurban electric linos all over
the country. The action of the railroads
on the mileage book question is another
thing that is operating to "increase the de
mand for a two-cent fare.
In New York, fully a dozen bills have
been introduced Into the legislature look
ing to the enforcement of a two cent fare.
One bill provides for a 1 V-cent fare. In
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island the legislatures probably will take
no action on account of the action 'of
President Mellen. Gov. Hanlyof Indiana
is determined that the next legislature,
whe -her it be a regular or a special sess
ion, shall enact a two-cent fare bill into
law. Candidates throughout the state
for representative and senator are herg
pledged on the question in advance.1
The state of Iowa is also moving rapid
ly toward two-cent fare action. There is
also a bill in that state asking for the
abolition of passes to candidates for office,
delegates to conventions and members of
political committees. t .'

I believe the public service corporation
should ba subject to governmental regu
lation and control. The power of regu
lation should be vested in the Interstate
Commerce Cjinmistion, and should be
exercised with due regird to the respec
tive rights of tie paopla and the corpor
ation. '
Trusts or combinations of capital or
ganized for the purpose of controlling the
utilities and necessities of the country, to
the exclusion of legitimate competition,
are contrary to public policy:' in deroga
tion to the right of the people, and
should com under the ban of the law.
I believe in preserving the dignity of
our American citizenship and the freedom
of the laboring classes r,f this country,
and hence 1 am opposed co the admission
of the collie labor of China, and the un
desirable Classes of the ' Continental
Europe.
The growing commerce of Oregon de
mands the deepening of the bar of . th
Columbia River, the construction of the
Dalles-Celilo Canal; the opening of the
upper Columbia, the improvement of Coos
Bay, Tillamook and Yaquina harbors; the
dredging of the Williamette and the Gov
ernment ownership of the Locks at Ore
gon City and federal appropriations should
be made securing these improvements.
A tariff should be maintained for the
protection of American industries and
American labor. Where, however, the
necessity for protection is removed by
the growth and development of a parti
cular industry, the tariff should be modi
fied to meet the changed condition.
, The reclamation of the arid lands is one
of th pressing needs of the Northwest.
and a condition to its greater develop
ment, and the efficiency of the reclame
tion service should be one of the first
cares of the Federal Government
Th Federal Constitution should be
amended to provide for the election of
United States Senators by direct vote of
the people.
I am in favor of the establishment of
the parcels post " .
