t,nn vr Vortimnd nubile utility eorpor
atlons by the Railroad Commission as
contemplated In the Malarkey bill. The
effect of the enactment of the Malarkey
bill, he charged, would be to impair tba
efficiency of the Ku road t.omm:ssion.
CnconatltaUoaalltj la Alleged.
X. E. Clark, attorney, who drafted
the Portland Public Service Commis
sion bill, objected to the Malarkey bill
i. reason that It nro do led to give
the Railroad Commission regulation of
public utility plants In every munici
pality In the state, which, he argued,
would be unconstitutional- lie ques
tioned the jower of the state to confer
on a commission power to enforce the
performance of any contract to wnicn
It was not a party. He pronounced
this a radical departure from the pres
ent form of municipal government In
existence In this state without giving
the people an opportunity to give their
approval thereto. .
The Malarkey bill was further criti
cised by Mr. Clark because of one pro
vision which gives to the Commission
cower to declare void any city ordl-
nance which. In effect, he declared,
would be to take away from all muni
cipalities the Initiative and referendum
privileges.
Ben Riesland also addressed the com
mittee and In the course of his remarks
aid he and bla associates. Interested
In th Portland bill, were surprised
when the Malarkey measure made Ita
appearance. Malarkey. who attended
the meeting as a member of the rail
road committee, however gained from
Tile si and the admission that be (Ries
land) was aware of the fact early last
year that Malarkey had promised. If
nominated and elected, to make every
effort to secure the enactment of such
a law. At th asm time Malarkey
made the point that several of the
larger and more populous states rvcu
late all public service corporations
through one commission which had
statewide Jurisdiction.
He contended that th Railroad Com
mission delegated the same work, could
satisfactorily discharge ita additional
dunes In this state.
In addition to Mr. Riesland. Mr.
Fmlth and Attorney Clark, the c-ther
members of the Portland delegation ap
pearing before the committee tonlcht
were: R. G. Brand. M. C VanTyne,
and 1 EL Moldenhauer.

Joseph's Measure .Introduced in Sen

Act Passed by People.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. 30.
I Special.) One of the most sweeping
bills that has yet been Introduced in the
Senate came from Senator Joseph thU
afternoon In the-shape of a proposed
measure to place all persons and all
corporations under the provisions of the
employers liability act aa passed through
the lnltlg.Uv at the last general elec
tion. In the Joseph bill, contributory negli
gence as a defense la eliminated and may
be taken Into consideration by the Jury
only Insofar as mitigation of damages la
concerned. The act passed by the peo
ple pluced certain restrictions on the
firms and corporations coming within Its
scope. It Is generally conceded by at
torneys that tha law. being In deroga
tion of the common law, must be con- j
atrued strictly and as a result only those
corporations, firms and persons men
tioned In the act are affected by Its
provisions.
Further, th law passed by. the people
carries the provisions that It la an em
ployers' liability act and tbua works
only for the benefit of employes.
The Joseph bill would carry wholesale
and sweeping changes In its provisions.
It would Include all corporations and J
would Include sll persons. Instead of
being for the benefit of employes only
his set would allow all persons who are
suing for damages to come within Its
provti'Ds and contributory negligence
could be pleaded against none of them,
only Insofar as aucn contributory negli
gence might be tsken Into consideration
by the Jury In awarding damages.
Joseph admits that his bill Is supple
mentary to th employers' liability act.
that it allows th provisions of that act t
toextend so far as. to allow all persons ,
to sue for damages under the act. It also
allows suit to be brought against any
and all corporations and contributory
negligence la practically relegated to the
background as far aa using it for a de
fense, Is concerned.
This Is considered by those who have
looked over the bill as being by far the
most sweeping and drastic piece of pro
posed legislation that has yet been pre
sented. It promises to develop a lobby
which will wage a bitter contest as it
eliminates no corporation or firm and
overlooks no one In Its provisions.

Annual Appropriation of 925,060
and Co-operation of State and
Railways Is Suggested.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 30.
(Special.) Co-operation between the
state and the railroads In promoting the
development of the state and Its settle
ment was urged In a brief address made
before the members of the Oregon Legis
lator today by Louis W. Hill, official
bead of the Great Northern Railroad.
Mr. Hill suggested th advisability of
the state providing an annual appropria
tion of about 15,000. to be expended
through some board or commission In the
exploitation of the state and Its resources.
The railroad president did not advocate
th creation of an additional board for
this purpose, expressing the belief that
the work could be directed satisfactorily
and with big resulta through one of tba
boards or commissions already existing
In thla state. '
Mr. Hill also strongly commended th
work of agricultural college experiment
stations and said Oregon could profitably
expend considerable money in that direc
tion.

Malarkey Wants Oregon to Adopt

weights and measures In the State of

to make th. standard of weights and
measures as used in the United States
the standard of Oregon. Th bill also

ex-offlclo capacity.
It Is the object of this bill mainly to
regulate scales of all kinds upon which
food products are we'ghed. The bill
proposes to secure standard regula
