QUESTION
Time in Washington Is Too
Short, Even if Hanford
Decision Is Reversed.
HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 15
Ballway Commission Will Meet to
Decide on Grain Kcfes Gover
nor Mead's Chances Af
fected by Outcome.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Aug. 12. (Spe
cial ) The possibility of the calling or
an extra session of the Leclslature, as
promised bv Governor Mead in the
event the Supreme Court follows Fed
eral Judge Hanford's ruling and de
cides that the Legislature has not the
constitutional power to equip the Rail
way Commission with rate-making
powers, is now eliminated.
The d-lsion of the Supreme Court
has not been handed down in time for
an extra session of the Legislature to
provide for the submission of the
necessarv constitutional amendment in
the event the decision shears the Com
mission of Us power.
No Time Left for Publication.
The case was submitted to the Su
preme Court in June and It was then
known that an adverse decision would
have to be given within six weeks if
an extra Legislature were to be sum
moned and an amendment to the con
stitution published the necessary 13
weeks prior to the November election.
There Is not now sufficient time for
the publication of the amendments,
and if the decision Is In favor of the
railroads the Commission will be
without power to reduce rates for more
than two years, or until after the elec
tion of 1910.
Grain Rate Hearing September 15.
The Railway Commission, while con
fident that the Supreme Court will up
hold the law m all respects, has de
ferred the hearing on the reasonable
ness of grain rates until September 15.
At that time the Commission will also
hold a heirlng on the division of
values that were heretofore ascertained
with respect to the use of the rail
roads for state and interstate pur
posts. On the same date the Commis
sion will permit the railroad companies
to file tneir objections to the valua
tion findings, or suggest the incorpora
tion of findings that may have been
omitted. The hearing on the reason
ableness of grain rates will he held re
gardless of the tenor of the decision
of the Supreme Court, which it is ex
pected will have been handed down
before that time.
Will Appeal to Legislature.
If it is held that the Commission
has not the power to regulate rates,
the Commission will then prepare a
schedule of what it believes the rates
should he and submit the schedule to
the next Legislature, with the recom
mendation that the rates therein be
fixed by legislative act. A constitu
tional amendment will also be recom
mended whi-h. if passed by the Legis
lature, will go before the people In
the following general election.
The determination of the reasonable
ness of rates is the real object of the
work the Railway Commission of
this state has been engaged in for the
past two years or more, and Its post
ponement until after September 15 re
moves important campaign material
from consideration prior to the pri
mary election.
How It Affects Mead.
A reduction in grain rates prior to
the primary election, It is generally
believed, would aid Governor Mead in
his campalngn for renomination, while
on the other hand, if the Commission's
findings by any chance should be that
the present rales were irasonable, the
Governor's opponents would have ma
terial for questioning the wisdom of
the large appropriations placed at the
disposal of the Commission and per
baps for attacking the thoroughness
of Its work.
The principal value of the work of
the Commission to the present time has
been in providing A new basis for
the taxation of railroad property. As
a result of the findings of the Com
mission as to values about $125,000,003
will be added to the tax rolls of the
various counties of the state, provided
the railroads do not succeed in getting
the courts to set aside the new valua
tions. Railroads Busy, Too.
The pending Increase In the assessed
valuation of the railroads, as a result
of the Railway Commission's work. Is
now being used as campaign material
for the benefit of Governor Mead. In
the- meantime the railroads are busily
engaged in collecting data which they
hope to use to prove that such valua
tions will put a tax burden on the
railroads In excess of that Imposed
upon other property. Agents of the
railroads have been engaged for weeks
in all the counties of the state check
ing up real estate transfers with the
valuations placed on the same property
by the assessors. Their Idea is that
the assessors" figures will not be In the
same proportion to the true value of
the property as is the assessed value
of railroad property to its actual value.
Tax Commission Gathers Data.
The railroads will not be the only ones
to bp equipped with evidence along this
line. The Tax Commission, having knowl
edge of such a move. Is now engaged In
taking testimony In every county in the
state as to the actual value of property
In general. This evidence. It Is planned,
will be used to offset the data the rail
roads present to the State Board of
Equalization nexrSeptember. '
The manner of getting action on the
railroad commission's labors for the bene
fit of the tax receipts of the state has
been for the Railway Commission to turn
its findings over to the state Tax Com
mission, which will segregate the values
by counties and present them practically
unchanged as to totals to the State Board
of Equalization In September. Their
adoption by the State Board of Equaliza
tion is the final move. The three mem
bers of the Tax Commission constitute
a majority of the State 3oard of Equali
zation, which includes the Auditor and
Commissioner of Public Lands, so unless
the railroads make a pretty positive
showing It Is almost certain that the
Tax Commission's figures will be those
finally adopted.
After approval by the Board of Equali
sation the railroad valuations are certi
fied to the several counties, and by them
extended on the tax rolls and taxes levied
thereon for all purposes. ,
State Board's First Chance.
This is the first year in which the
Ktata Board of Equalization will really
have an ' effective voice In the amount
of taxes that shall be paid by the
railroads, although attempts are being
made for political purposes to show that
the railroads have been favored by mem
bers of the board, who are now candidates
before the primaries for nomination to
Before this year' railroad valuations
were determined by the county
and County Boards of Equalization, with
the values on other property merely for
the purpose of equalizing the amount of
taxes that each county siiould pay toward
the maintenance or the state uovcnimcui.
An increase In railroad valuations by
the state board In other days simply

OLYMPIA. Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.)
Democrats cannot vote at Republican
primaries to help nominate a Republican
candidate without rorfeitlng their right
to nominate any Democratic candidate,
according to a decision rendered by the
Attorney-General today.
If the Democrat calls ror a ttepuDiican
ballot and by writing in or the use of
stickers votes for some of the Democratic
candidates at the primaries, tne Attorney-General
rules that the votes must
be counted as cast for such Democrats
ror Republican nomination and cannot be
added to the votes cast Tor such Demo
cratic candidates on the straight Demo
cratic ticket.
This opinion was rendered to prosecut
ing Attorney Troy. Democrat, or this
county, by Assistant Attorney-General
B. Knickerbocker. The particular ques
tion was whether Republicans could on
the ballot use a sticker and express their
preference for George Cotterill. of Scat
tie. Democrat, for United States Sena
tor. The opinion holds that stickers
can be used but that all votes so cast
ror Cotterill must be ror his nomination
on the Republican ticket, and cannot be
added to those he may receive ror
preference on the Democratic ticket. The
opinion goes at length Into the Intent or
the Legislature not to Interfere with
party organization and closes as follows:
"Under our present direct primary law
a voter affiliating with one political party
Is not permitted In any way to influence
by his vote the nomination or a person
or an opposite political party to public
office."

First Rain for Several Weeks
Falls in Oregon.
MAKES FARMERS REJOICE
Shower Will Prove Great Benefit to
Crops and Will Extinguish Dev
astating Forest Fires Burning
in Many Places.
After the longest dry period since 1896.
rain began to fall yesterday morning
and continued almost Interruptedly until
last night. It was a .general shower, es
pecially in Western Oregon and was as
welcome as the May flowers in the song.
At times the downpour was really
severe, but the greater part of the time
it was a gentle, but continuous mist un
till last night. During the day .49 of an
inch of rain fell, according to the meas
urements of the local weather bureau, the
greatest amount for any one day since
May 16.
Reports from various sections or tne
Valley and from other parts of Oregon
and Washington indicate that the rain
was general. It was especially welcomed
by farmers who had been clamoring for
it in the Interests of crops. By timber
men and owners of timber property gen
erally it was also heartily welcomed,
for it will be the means of extinguish'
ing many forest fires and saving large
amounts of property.
Until yesterday the greatest amount of
rain that has fallen in any one day since
June 26 is .03 of an inch on July 3. On July
13 and 15 .01 of an Inch fell and the weather
office observed traces of rain on July
22 and 24. Consequently, the recent dry
period is the longest that Portland has
experienced since 1896. when there was
only a trace of rain from June 10 till
August 1. After that date there was
plenty of rain.
During the recent month of July the
Western portion of the state received
only one-fourth the normal amount . of
rainfall. The Eastern half, however, re
ceived enough to bring the average for
the state considerably above the normal.
This was the result of several heavy
thunder showers In Eastern Oregon dur
ing the early part of July.
The rain was accompanied by a de-

was uncomtortaoiy cniny ana mere was
a general scramble for additional cloth
ing. Umbrella stands worked industriously
and straw hats almost disappeared from
the streets. There was a paucity of white
dresses on the streets and raincoats and
wraps' were seen in abundance.
As a result of the rain Portland's
streets were cleaned more thoroughly
than for weeks. In the suburban and
rural districts where dust had accumu
lated in the roads to the depth of several
Inches there was general rejoicing.
