IS Move for Railroad Regulation Drags at Salem. NOTHING DONE IN SENATE Only On Bill Introduced In That Branch Up to Date Several Measures Are Pending In tlie House. SALE3M, Jan. 22. (Special. ?Co progress has so far been made in either house on the railroad bills that .provide for a com mission, -reciprocal demurrage, maximum rates, taxation of gross receipts, etc These subjects have hardly Deen heard of yet in the Senate, and only one bill has appeared there relatins to them. This is the bill of Senator Johnson of Benton. providing for reciprocal demurrage and prohibiting: rebates and discrimination, but omitting? tho commission. Itx the Mouse, however, a number of bills have been Introduced; One by ciwpm or muu- nomah, from the Portland Chamber of Oommerce, providimr for wl commission ap pointed by the Governor -with consent of the Senate. A second is by Japkson ot IVuiglas. for a commission appointed by the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer.- A. third Is by Pike of Sherman, to fix rates, and a fourth, also "by Pike, le for demurrage. A fifth Is by Jones of Polk, for demurrage. A sixth, y Jackson, is for a 3 per cent tax on the gross earnings of -railroads. One anti-pass bill has t)een presented In the Senate by Caldwell of Yamhill, and two have been introduced in the House, one by Jackson of Iourlas and another by Northup of Multnomah. There Is strong sentiment in the Re publican legislature against giving the Democratic Governor power to name the commission, and It seems probable that no such power will be conferred on him. It is quite likely, that , the lesrislature. if it shall pass a bill creating- a commission, will provide for a popular election of the members In June, 1908. Whethor to give the appointment until that time to the Governor or to the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer, is a debated question. The commission idea so far has shown no activity In the Senate. The advo cates of the commission will find their blsTSest obstacle in the Senate, sod It is evident that the battle will be fought out first in the House. The ruling- sentiment of the House seems to be against appointment by the Governor, and there is a strong under Current against the creation of '.any eor..mlsslon. If any chance should kill the commission in the House it may be said safely that it will be difficult to revive at the other end of the capitol. There is a demand for a com mission In the House, however, and many who doubt its efficacy are con verted to the idea by the necessity of providing relief from transportation difficulties of the state, It is evident that an effort will be made to ward off the commission by means of a de murrage bill or a rate bill or both. The bills have been referred to the railroad committees in the respective houses. doapitlonraf tione. . stoibi 1 FIiOOD OF BILLS IN HOt'SE. Total of 175 Xcw Laws Proposed at Single Session. SALKM.

COWAN ATTACKS TARIFF Texan Says Protection Provokes Boycott or Meat Products In En- ropc Roosevelt Sends Message y o I-re-aslnir of Range. DENVKR, Jan. 22. President Murdo Mackenzie's annual address was the main feature of the opening session of the tenth annual convention of the American National Livestock Associa tion, which assembled today in this city. ' Colonel TV'. E. Hughes responded to Governor Buchtel's address of wel come. He said the stockmen and farm ers of the West and South had upheld trie federal Government in its effort to pass new laws and enforce them. President Murdo Mackenzie dellvl ered his annua, address. He referred to previous grievances stockmen had ngrafnst the railroads, saying: that one of them exorbitant freight rates had been corrected by the passage of the rate bill, but the only way shippers could derive any benefit from the measure was to carry their complaints of unjust rates to the Interstate Com merce Commission without delay. Me continued: ... i Poor Car Service Means RuIq. During tOft there have hecn to my knowl edjse more complaints of poor service by the railroads than In any year in the paat, and unless something is dont to compel railroads to give-, g reasonable speed limit to perUhabl rood in transit, such as livestock, it will create such a Ions that ultimately stockmen will have to abandon the business. There Is another question which haa forced ItaK-lf upon our notic during thft past year, and that la the absolute failure of the roads to supply, cars for the shipment of stock upon Pror notice. I think a bill is pending in Congress that I believe will give us the neces sary relief. The bill penalizes the railroads for failure on their part to supply cars upon receiving reasronah.e. notice, end. also provides ror a penalty of as pr car per ilay for every day in which railroads fall in this respect. Mr. Mackenzie said that the mini mum carload weight for all classes of livestock was too higrh and should ba adjusted. He spoke of the bill intro duced in .the present Congress to amend the meat Inspection law, adopt ed by the last Congress, so as to make the packers pay for Inspection. The objection stockmen had to the pro- posed amendment was that they would have to stand the cost themselves, something 1 Ike S3.000.000 annually. The Co-operative Livestock Com mission Company, organized by stock men for the purpose of lighting the advance in commission rates, is a suc cess. Mr. Mackenzie declared. He was confident it would be a lasting; benefit to the stockmen. Mr. Mackenzie eulo gized Secretary Wilson. In Grip of Protected Trusts. The tariff question was discussed by S. H. Cowan, of Texas, who said that powerful trusts, which want high pro tective tariffs to keep out Kuropean competition, were ruining; the live stock Industries. The tierman and other foreign nations were boycotting American meats because of the histi tariffs of this country. K. K. Harriman. the railroad mag;- nate, was criticized by Mr. Cowan, who said that the Government was too late in taking action against the Union Paclflo and allied lines, which, he said. were in a combination to restrain trade. He continued: The railroads are saddling a worse feudal ism on thl country than wa ever tried be fore. The rights of the people are lost and swallowed up by these so-called captains of Industry. There never was a tlmt when you needed to be organized more than at present. The railroads have not lot their power in Washington. Although the railroad, rate bill was passed by Congress, the railroads have not lost their cunning. They are working un derground and overground and In every may to shackle you in such a .way that you will never Set out of their power. Control of the Range. Gifford Pinchot. chief of tho Fores try Bureau, delivered greetings from President Roosevelt to the stockmen and the following message: That In his (the President's) Judgment the Government control of the public range Is evidently coming and -coming Quickly. That it Is right that It should come. That he believes it for the best Interest of all wn of the public domain, Including the livestock men, that it should come soon. and.
