The Morning Enterprise does - not
dictate how its readers should vote
on all of the various questions that
will be found on the ballot on the fifth

measure, the Malarkey Public Utili
ties bill, that ought to pass. This bill
gives our Railroad Commission full
charge of all public utilities such as
street railway companies and light
and power corporations in our various
towns and cities. These concerns
ought to be controlled and the Rail
way Commission is the power that
ought to do it.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
SUFFRAGE IS DEFENDED.
OREGON CITY, Oct. 24. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) There is a Latin
motto that reads like this: "Abusus
non tollit usum." With the aid of a
dictionary and a friend with a good
memory we are able to tell you that
it means "Abuse is no argument
against proper use." What goaded
me to the task of finding this out was
that about a dozen men have been
showing me literature sent to them
by the anti-suffragists playing up in
large letters every mistake made by
women in states where they vote,
also some mistakes they are supposed
to have made. For instance one
piece of their literature has a large
heading "Jane Addams of Hull House
agrees with the Antis," which you
must admit is misleading and quite
likely to give a wrong impression to a
busy man with no time to" read the
entire article. What it really at
tempts to show is that Miss Addams
is inconsistent in advocating equal
suffrage. Miss Addams' reputation is
international and she needs no .de
fense. But it proves that by a liberal
enough use of stars one could make
the book of Job read like an inter
view with Jack Johnson. In the Anti-suffrage
literature they have been
positively reckless with stars, as you
will notice, but that is to be expected
from people who are, mostly from a
mistaken idea of what constitutes
womanliness and chivalry enrolled
on the side of injustice.
What men have been more than a
hundred years in doing, some people
seem to expect women in the suffrage
states to undo in a couple of years
handicapped at that.
When you refd "Women stuffed th
ballot boxes," A woman forged tax re
ceipts and skipped" and so on, hasn't
it struck you that although a great
many thousand men have done the
same, or worse, no one has thought
of it as an excuse for disenfranchis
ing the entire sex? And this brings
us back to our motto: "Abuse is no
argument against proper use."

Scoop Is
Giving women the ballot is not go
ing to make angels of them any more
than it does men, but neither is it
going to make them, the brazen out
casts that some people picture, but
one must admit that the percentage
of good women, honest women, far
out numbers the bad if they do not
outnumber them, then what is the
odds who wins-the country can't
last long anyway.
For sheltered well cared for women
who only know about the Wolf and
Temptations from reading tthe Ladies
Home Journal to try to say what is
best for the sister who is out in the
world struggling for her very living,
standing shoulder to shoulder with
men six days in the week, makes one
of those who struggle frankly "tired."
This woman, personally, started to
read the "Anti" literature with an un
biased mind, but when she reached
the point where the society woman
who was writing mentioned the rest
less spirit among women and deplored
the fact that so many were "pushing
into business, preferring it to home
duties" a great longing came over her
to see the author and a brick in jux
taposition, to put it sweetly. Of the
eight million women who are working
for their living we doubt if there is
one who prefers it to tne proper kind
ot home life. We resent the implica
tion that women who work are not
just as womanly, and sane as any oth
er women. They have quite as much
reverence for the home and love of
family ties, or more, because you na
turally love most what you cannothave
if you are a real human being. We
pull on your old "rubbers" and wade to
the office or factory or sweat shop,
work with wet skirts about our feet.
and a headache that would keep the
home woman in bed, but we are not
doing It from preferance, even though
we are doing it cheerfully and trying
to pretend that we think a pair of
tired feet and a lame back the grand
est possessions on earth. What every
one of us would like to be doing is
sitting at home near a warm fire, cut
ing out paper dolls for the baby and
trying to think up a new dessert for
the man of the house who can't eat
pie, but even then we doubt our abil
ity to accept the Anti-suffrage motto,
which seems to be "What we do not
want, no other woman should want,
and she can't have it if she does."

INITIATIVE FREIGHT RATE BILL
THIS CONCERNS EVERY RESIDENT OF OREGON
The initiative freight rate bill, No. 358, vote yes, on the ballot is a non-partisan, people's measure. It is
in the interest of the producer, the manufacturer, tiie consumer, and fair to the carrier.
The principle and method of rate making provided by the bill is endorsed by the interstate commerce
commission, the foremost expert rate making tribunal of the world.
The enactment and enforcement of the bill will stimulate all industrial and commercial development in
Oregon, reduce the price of transportation to the consumer, who ultimately pays all freight bills.
The bill will not cancel a single commodity rate which is less than the rates fixed by the bill. It does
not take any authority from the railroad commissioner in the making of minimum rates, nor does it open a
way for the railroads to advance special or commodity rates or any class rates.
The need of passing and enforcing the provisions of this bill are seen in the following conditions and
reasons. . -
ONLY 5 CENTS OF EVERY DOLLAR SPENT BY THE OREGON CONSUMER FOR MANUFACTURED
COMMODITIES IS FOR OREGON MADE GOODS. 95. cents of every dollar so spent goes out of the state for
goods manufactured in other states. Under this system which is caused by the present freight tariffs the wealth
of the state is needlessly depleted.
Under the stimulus of manufacturing irTinois increased in the 1910 decade over 800,000 inhabitants which
is practically 200,000 mbre than tne entire population of Oregon. Illinois towns under 10,000 inhabitants man
ufactured $4 to $1 manufactured forthe whole state of Oregon.
50 cents will buy 500 miles of first clas freight transportation under the Illinois rate schedule, and only
100 mile under the Oregon rate schedule. The Oregon dollar is worth only 20 cents as compared with the Mi
nois dollar. -
The. leading railroads of Illinois earn about $3,000 net per mile of road; Nebraska roads earn about $1,500
net per mile, while some of the Oregon roads earn $6,000 net per mile of road.
From 1906 to 1910 the 3. R. & N. Co. paid $109 per share on stock of par value of $100, returning to the
stock nolder the full value of the stock and $9 to boot per share. In 1908 this road paid 79 per cent on its stock.
In 1910 it paid 15 per cent on its common stock and 17 per cent on its preferred stock. 1
The Southern Pacific Company is capitalized at over 506 millions of dollars. Its only tangible property
is 11.8 miles, of road in California worth probably less than $250,000. It earning right is on 11.8 mmiles ofroad
or about $12,000 yearly. And yet this company is paying dividends yearly in excess of $17, 000,000, and togeth
er with interest on its bonds, about $21000,000 yearly. Every dollar so paid in excess of its earning rights on
11.8 miles of road is filched from the people, therefore robbery.
1 The people are the power. It is for you to pay whether you will longer tolerate these conditions. A vote
yes for the initiative: freight bill is a vote for better transportation charges and the upbuilding and blessing
to the whole state of Oregon. The bill does not favor anyone; its does not discriminate against anyone.
This Is a state measure and cannot affect interstate business.
If you want to build up your community, vote for this bill and secure a square deal In freight rates.
