There is evidently going to be a strong
fight during the legislature over the bil!
to provide for a state railroad commis
sion. It all depends upon the rower
granted such a commission. If hand -capped
like the coinm'ssion we had sev
eral years ago. it is practically a waste of
money. However, things are changed
since then. If the people desire sue i a
commission, clothed with ample authority
to enforce judicious recommendations
turn the iniative, such a law can be pass
ed, in case the legis'ature does not. T e
people are it in Oregon.
