COMEDY OB FARCE?
Tba larft legialative assembly 'provided
tbe people wild a railroad cotiiuiiaHioti
with ample power 10 regulute railway
and express companies aod fix tlie
rates' to b' charged by them. During
tbe past two days two members of this
commission have been in this vallev
hearing evidence as to the necessity or
convenience of runuing another pas
eenger train en.-h way tliroUL'h the val
ley. That trains run on the time of
former 11 nnd 12 would bo convenient
done will deny. '
But 'are tbero not more important
mailers the commission should under
take! The railroad ellicinl must smile
to see1 the commission ' neglect the
freight, rato question and do-voting their
tone to hearing d unds for an extra
pasaeager train' here and a stub train
Wliea- the regular train Ib late.
The freight rates in Oregon are ex
orbitant. Many rai.es are higher, es
facially irtiort haals, than ten years ago.
The express rates ure still worse, s
mueh at as to amount to robbery. Ore
gon qui a Blftte library at ftalcni, and
it costs seventv cents to gel on nrdinurv
Ihw book from liters to. Medford and
return.
The commissioners are not worrying
the railroads any by investigating pas
aeagnr trains. If tho ruilroads put up
fight, ir. is to keep the commissiencr
buay at something that is unimportant.
A railway commission cno be of mueh
benefit to Oregon, and it is hoped it
will be. Oregon had a commission onc
that established a freight rate ami
maintained it. in the aupreme court of
tula atate, when Governor (.'uaniherlinn
was attorney-general. A subsequent
commieeioe composed of ruilroiiil tools
let aside this tariff,
-t ilvt times are changed. What parsed
thea as shrewd politics in now intolera
ble eefruntiun. The people want hot)
nil, faithful aod able service. If th--rommiasiun
wishes to be more than or
ftemental let it grapple with the freight
question. Taking the rates established
to the supreme court in 1HJ4 as a basi
gad working from that, and taking into
toneiricratioa the increase in bnailiess
the eomnrissiouers, if competent men.
Vboillil be ablo to fix rates that wil1
prevail in tha highest courts, and there
Ivy" earn their ealarloa. "
