Sirrned Away Their Powers
In the protest against the toll
rate that has K'en placed on tele
phone patrons in the Upper Val
ley, a sujrpestion was made that
the matter le referred to the
State Railroad Commission for
adjustment. As a matter of fact
the Railroad Commission has no
jurisdiction at this writing over
the telephone company or any
other public service corporation
except railroads. It did have
jurisdiction through a law passed
at the last session of the Orejron
legislature, but recently an ini
tiative and referendum petition
has been filed referring the mat
ter to the people and under the
operation of the law governing
initiative petitions, the jurisdic
tion of the Commission is sus
pended until the next general
election. At that time if the law
is upheld by the voters the Com
mission will again have power to
investigate and regulate all pub
lic service corporations in the
state. If it is defeated its pow
ers will be curtailed.
The signing of this petition to
virtually take the power out of
the hands ot the people in regu
lating and adjusting their dif
ferences with corporations, of
which they have complained so
loudly, is a gross inconsistency
which it is hard to account for,
An explanation that the people
were against the increased pow
ers vested in the Commission by
the legislature because the rail
roads were in favor of it, is a re
flection on the intelligence of
Oregon's citizenship that it is
not pleasant to contemplate.
The tendency of late by such
men as Jas. J. Hill, a powerful
factor in railroad citcles, A. L,
Vail, president of the Bell Tele
phone Company, and Samuel
Rea, first vice president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad system,
who visited Hood River recently,
and from whom we publish an
interview on the matter this
week, is toward the intelligent
regulation of corporations
through commissions. It would
seem that when these big repre
sentatives of all-powerful indus
tries are making an effort to have
the people and corporations come
to a better understanding by ar
bitration, rather than by public
war and in the courts, that they
ought to be met half way.
The freqnently heard admoni
tion "Leave it to the people, they
will not go wrong," does not ap
ply to the unfortunate dilemma
that the citizens of Oregon are
now placed, in. They have
robbed themselves of the power
they asked for.
Light and Power Rates
Notwithstanding the announce
ment of the Pacific Power and
Light Company of lower light
and power rates, to a man up a
tree, it does not appear that the
reduction will very materially
fatten any of the consumers bank
rolls to a plethoric condition.
Apparently, the new rate will
give consumers of a small amount
of light an advantage, and those
who consume an amount aggre
gating a charge of over $3.75,
will pay as much or more than
they do now.
Of course, we are not experts,
and are willing to be shown, and
we hope that we can be. On
jiower rates, there seems to be
an advantage up to a certain
number of horse-power, when
the rates appear to be almost
prohibitive.
Perhaps the figuring of a news
paper man on "peak loads" and
"connected horsepower" is about
as correct as it would be in as
tronomy or calculus; but we are
not looking forward to any trips
to Kuroe on this aforesaid re
duction in lijjht and power rates.
Automobile Speeding
The indictment of a number of
resectable citizens by the grand
jury for automobile speeding on
the county mads might have
been avoided by having brought
action against them In? fore the
justice of the peace, in which
event much of the unpleasant
notoriety and expense could have
been eliminated. It is no doubt
necessary to do something to
curb speeders from endangering
life and limb and ruining the
pnblic highways.
The amount of speed which the
drivers in question were exceed
ing the limit according to the
the evidence leaves some room
for doubt as to their guilt in this
particular instance, while it is
very probable that at some other
time they may have exceeded it
by a big margin.
The outcome of the matter.
however, was in the main satis
factory and sensible, judge, at-
tornevs and clients agreeing on
compromise.
A speed of 24 miles an hour,
fixed by the state for country
highways, would seem to be fast
enough for even those in a hur
ry to hurl themselves through
space, although to one sitting in
an easy riding machine, the
temptation to move a little faster
seems to be irresistible. Never
theless, punitive methods having
been established to restrain a
faster speed it is quite likely
that scorching in future will be
limited.
Political Agitation
That many of the banks of the
Northwest are carrying unnec
essarily large reserves was the
statement made recently by Jos
eph Jacobs. It is his opinion
that these financial institutions
ought to invest their money in
agricultural projects by aiding
the reclamation of arid lands.
Having been the project engineer
on the Yakima irrigation work of
the government, Mr. Jacobs is
well informed on the subject. He
is of the opinion that the agricul
tural development of the North
west will be retarded until it gets
more encouragement from these
means.
The contention of Mr. Jacobs
is no doubt correct to some ex
tent, but he fails to take into ac
count that the banking institu
tions of the Northwest are large
ly compelled to follow out the
policy that is being pursued at
present by the large reserve
banks in the east. Constantly
changing commercial and indus
trial conditions due to political
agitation and uncertainty as to
national and state legislative pol
icies and changing conditions
that may affect the judicial sys
tem of the country are having
more to do with a stringent finan
cial system than any other cause.
NORTHWEST NOTES
State Commissioner of Horti
culture Huntley estimates this
year's fruit crop in Washington
at 85 per cent of the normal.
That is about one-half the amount
yielded last year. For the coun
try at large the government re
ports a normal fruit crop. So far
as Northwest fruit growers are
concerned, it is predicted that
better prices will prevail this
year than last.
Gradually it develops that there
has been a gigantic conspiracy
operating against Alaska. For
some reason, an effort ha3 been
made to retard its development
by fostering the idea that cer
tain multi-millionaires were try
ing to "gobble up" the territory.
The Morgan-Guggenheim inter
ests have been pictured as the
most sinister and voracious of all.
The absurdity of such represen
tation is seen when one con
siders that of all the numerous
companies oierating in the North
but three are controlled by this
group. In place ot increasing
their various interests to perfect
control of Alaska, the Morgan
Guggenheims have been closing
out a number of them.
It's been three or four months
since Seattle had an election
Hence a number of political fo
menters are trying to organize
another Recall Election. Mayor
Dilling. who rode in on the last
upheaval, and six councilmen,
seem to have lost their standing,
But the present agitation is not
looked on with favor. Only last
Saturday "the hammer" was
burned amidst much ceremony.
to show to the world that Seattle
is no longer menaced by the
knocker. The libel suits involv
ing its two leading newspapers
have been dismissed by the court
so that, all in all, the future looks
bright.
All the Pacific Coast is watch
ing preparations for the impend
ing struggle between the Rocke
fellers and the Rothchilds for the
oil business of the western states.
Following the purchase of ground
for a large distributing station at
Richmond Beach by the Asiatic
Oil company, which is the Coast
name for the Shell Royal Dutch
companies of the Orient, con
trolled by the Rothchilds, the
Standard Oil company announces
that it would establish the larg
est station of the kind on the Pa
cific Coast immediately adjoining
the ground taken by the foreign
ers. The Standard is to spend
$1,000,000 extending its facilities
for handling the Northwest bus
iness. Both sides admit that the
new Katalla. Alaska, oil nelds,
where the Standard has contract
ed to purchase 100,000 barrels of
gasoline-producing oil as soon as
it can be shipped, have a most
important bearing on the future
of the oil business, and both are
seeking advantageous locations
for handling the new product.
