OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY
W. B. CARTER,
FREIGHT DISCRIMIIttTlCNS,
It will be remembered how bitterly some
members of the late Oregon legislature at
tacked Senate Bill No. 82, proponing to re
strict discrimination by common carriers ;
and it will also be remembered that no ar
gument were adduced to show why such
restrictions should not be imposed, and the
only reason assigned was " there is no oc
casion for the passage of such a law. " In
the ol ler States the same difficulty is pre
venting action. Members of the legislature
cannot see any cause for action ; the method
and arguments used to prevent legislation
are doubtless the same.
Governor Cornell, of New York, in his
annual message to the legislature, condemns
the "unjust discrimination," and favorite
ism in the conduct of railroad business, and
declares stability and uniformity of freight
tariffs to be ' necessary for the safe conduct
of business." He sums up bis views of
needed railroad legislation in the statement
that " for like service all patrons should be
placed on an equal footing, and, as far as
practicable, general publieky should be giv
en to freight tariffs. Th is neither a very
novel nor a very radical suggestion of re
form, but it shows that the Governor is
fairly impressed with the most practical ot
the issues between the railroads and the
people.
Governor Hoyt, of Pennsylvania, in speak
ing of this point in his message, says, "the
principle is so obviously jaet and right as to
preclude question or debate. " A legislative
committee of the State of Pennsylvania,
known as the Hepburn committee, present
ed an anti-discrimination bill which pro
vided that "all individuals, associations
and corporations shall have equal right to
have person and property transported over
railroads and canals, and no undue or un
reasonable discriminations shall be made in
charges- for, or in facilities for, transporta
tion of freight or passengers within the state
or coming trom or going to any other state,"
and it distinctly declared that " charges to
any station shall not be greater than for
similar services to a more distant station in
the same direction, and that there shall be
no discrimination between transportation
companies and individuals, or in favor of
either by abatement, drawback or other
wise, and no preferences in furnishing cars
or motive power." This bill, however,
failed to become a law, doubtless for the
same reason that Senate bill No. 82 failed
in the Oregon legislature.
It may seem a little strange that a meas
ure "so obviously just and right," should
fail, but a legislative body which railroads
help to elect and compete with the people
in controlling, is not always found on the
side of the people. Our solons thought that
the tune had not arrived when such legisuv
tion was needed, but in New York and
Pennsylvania, thay have found that the time
has passed when such legislation can be en
acted, althongh so " obviously just and
right. Isalem ."statesman.
Much to the same point is the fol
lowing from the N. Y. Times of De
cember 6, 1880 :
" There is forming on the face of the ter
ritory comprised within the United States a
.great confederacy ot railroads, whoso ulti
mate power it is not easy to forecast. How
ever great the separate systems may be, and
however far they may be rivals ni the busi
ness of through transportation, they will
have certain interests in common. They.
will have a common interest in resisting,;
Government control, in obtaining and" main
taining laws favorable to their purposes.
and in strengthening and guarding their
power over the business of the country, By
compacts among themselves they may law
what tribute they will upon the commerce
and industries of the people. They will
zest like one gigantic despotism of iron upon
the lace ot this land, and regulate th t de
velopment of industrial interest direct the
current of trade, and exercise a control over
all the energies of the people which they
may be powerless to resist. The business
of the country is absolutely dependent on
the agencies of transportation, and any
power that holds these in its grasp will have
our national interests at its mercy."
Jay Gould controls otie ni?ith in
mileage ef all the railroads in the U.
S. Vanderhilt manages a corps of
employees greater in number than
the rank and file of our standing ar
my. These financial giants are able
to jointly effect a consolidation of the
nation's telegraphic machinery, for
the purpose of forcing the people to
choose between two evils, either the
purchase of and control by, the Gov
ernment, or the increase of rates im
posed by a monopoly. The mind is
then furnished an opportunity for se
rious reflection. It shows bow cer
tainly and rapidly the methods ot
capital tend toward centralization,
and the past leaves no room to ques
tion the political disaster tbat must
follow under our Government, aud
too often unprincipled political man
agement. The telegraph would be
used to perpetuate the dominant par
ty. With public enthusiasm for
cheap telegraph communication, for
private and commercial reasons, the
real danger may be overlooked or
ignored by the masses, but the elect
ive franchise loses half its force the
day the purchase is consnmated. In
less than fifty years the railroad sys
tem of the country will be handled
by a dozen men, aud that doaeny gov
erned by the law of " common inter
est " will lend their mighty influence-
to the party in powerr Business sa
gacity would allow no other course
the established party would owe the
safety of its -position to the railroads,
and the railroads would owe the safe
ty of their prosperity and immunity
trom popular but harassing measures
to the obliging party holding the
reins of government. General and
State legislation has familiarized the
average citizen with the uselessness
of contending against corporate in
fluences. California has had a long,
a bitter struggle in that direction,,
and the only law she has worth the
same, " Forbids any person ob com?
pany, engaged in the carrying traoet'
from increasing an established rate
for carrying freight." This is done
to prevent the large and powerful
companies eating op the smaller ones
by putting rates down. The O. R.
N. Co. are doing a business of that
kind now, hoping to crowd off the
Independent Line and force the rail
roads, East and West side, to carry
for $1 per ton. This 'is ruinously
low, the railroad company will fall
short its annual interest, may become
anxious to sell, and the O. R. N. Co.
desiring to monopolize the business,
of the State, will have made a point,
but the people will have lost the ben
efits of competition. If Oregon had
California's law, the O. R. N. Co,
steamers could never again charge
more than $2 per ton, and that com
pany would never have carried a
pound of freight at $1 per ton, had
this law b -en on our statutes. Ore
gon is young and ought to learn
something from the experience of
older St at e, she needs only to keep
the opportunities open and free for
the fullest competition. Senate bill,
82, which does not seek to regulate
freights and fare, as many suppose,
but simply prohibits imjirst discrimi
nation, Was a raeretorious measure
and should have passed. There
were two Democratic and two Re
publican railroad attorneys in the
legislature of 1880 ; these men of
curse represented the company in
stead of the people ; then two Re
publican valley member, said to
have been elected through the in
fluence of the railroad power, arrayed
themselves against the measure of
all others deserving their earnest sup
port. Then two Republican Sena
tors from Southern Oregon opposed
the bill because the railroad compa
ny bad threatened to raise the rates
of freight, working a hardship on
their constituency. One Independ
ent Greenback Democrat, from Linn
county, gallantly neglected the ap
peal of his people and went over to
the enemy. Add two more Repub
lican Senators from the Portland dis
trict, who were there to " oppose un
friendly legislation," and we have a
few of the reasons why the Oregon
" Common Carrier's Bill," obviously
right and just, failed.

YAQUINA BAY.
In answer to inquiries in your last
issue as to how the winter weather
ha effected the Bar, I am glad to
say the mam middle channel, the one
leading straight out west, and the
one into which all the water now
wasting through the south channel
will be forced by the contemplated
improvement, is a clearly defined en
trance to the Bay, a channel so nice
ly marked by the broken, white wa.
ter on either s de as to make it possi
ble for a vessel to enter the harbor in
the thickest foe. There is no better
evidence wanted than this to show
the water has deepened in the mid
die channel, and my opinion is the
reef has been swept clean of the sand
covernig ot last tall, mere is no
doubt in my mind, from careful ob
servatien,that the south channel has
gradually filled, thus operating for a
time as the jetties wiH always, in
turning the water into the middle
channel. The jettieft-wit prevent the
sand of the south beach being driv
en into the Bay by southerly winds
and curreiitsv When this is done
there will be no shifting sand to fill
in or obstruct a deeper channel once
opened. A record kept of the con
dition of the bar from day to day
shows that many times during the
winter when steamers and sailing ves
sels were unable to set in or out of
the Columbia on account of the Co
lumbia bar being rough, Yaquiua
bar was usually smooth, nothing to
prevent a vessel from entering the
harbor. This I attribute to the pro
tecting influence ot the outer reef,
which seems to dash out the life and
cripple the mightiest breaker so that
it rolls on the bar, its fury spent, a
harmless sea ot foam. There has
been no ice to interfere with the nav
igation of the smallest tributary to
the river or bay ; in fact there has
bei a no float ice seen . in the bay this
winter. The engineer in charge of
the improvement has- contracted with
Hon. Allen Parker,. &f vha Qnealta
mills, tor sufficient lumber to build
two large scows and the crib timbers.
Notices are posted asking bid for
400 cords of brush. It is gratifying
to note the oarefnlt and economical
management, and disposition shown
to make the appropriation go as far
as possible. Ti e people are anxious
to sea some good results and I am
confident they will not be disappoint

quack! quack! quack!
Taking a cursory view of lb old
school practice of physic, a given us
by Us history for the past century,
the student becomes at once plunged
into confusion and perplexity by the
many incongruities and changes of
the. so-called science ot therapeutics.
Iu this brief comparison we confine
ourselves to the treatment of disease
alone, which is the only source of d s
cord and bone of contention among
physicians. And this we think is due
entirely to primary education and a
want of ability on the part of some
and courage of others to investigate
for themselves, fearing the finger of
scorn and levity would isolate them
from their former associations ; and
whooe societies are walled in by such
organic rules 'and regulations as to
excommunicate any member who
seeks outside information in sifting
out the truth for himself. This is the
inevitable fate penalty given and
reward offered to those,
" Who are thought a knave, a fool, or
A bigot, plotting crime,
Who, for the advancement of his race,
Is wiser than his time. "
Let us begin with tle barber's post,
striped with red, and significant to
to the youth ot a candy .shop, had its
origin, as few kmW, and a few years
since, from the old and1 honored prac
nee of blood Jetting cupping, vein
section, aud leeching, when it was so
common and thought so beneficial
and rational that the barbers carried
on this orocess iu connection with
hair cutting and shaving.
After this " barbarous " work gave
place to the more baneful and nefar
ious procedure of salivation, synchro
nous with the introduction of mer
cury, the destruction of many valua
ble lives and ruination of thousands
of constitutions. Mr. Barber found
himself robbed, as it were, of a great
aud lucrative part of his employment
by the scientific doctors, but retain
ed the old sign as a relic of his past
sanguinary experience and a modern
signal of
TONSORI.VL ART.
Right here is the time and place
to notice a little appelation that is so
odious and distasteful to any one
making pretensions to. a knowledge
of medicine, and so strikiiiyly illus
trative of the old saying ot one don
kev callinsr another lonsr cars We
meau " Quack." Who are the quaeks?
How did the word come into use aud
where does it rightly belong ?
About the time of the introduction
of mercury by the old school they
were called " quicksilver " doctors,
in distinction of others, and pronounc
ed in the more broad sound of the
Germans as "quacksilver," and finally
for short, in speaking of this class of
physician, they dropped the " silver
and Called then
QUACK DOCTORS
Now we see where it aptly belongs.
Yet who are more prone io cry
" quack " against any physician who
will not be whipped into their line of
educated belief, housed in as we
have seen by organized societies and
attempted legislation, than the old
school doctors. Pardon this slight
digression while we take up the next
step of their science, called in com
mon parlance, the "navel dividers,
composed of calomel and tartar e-
metic, acting as a puke and purge at
the same time, informing their pa
tient after the lapse of a few hours
they might think of dying, althougl
they would feel much better after the
medicine operated. Who would not
after being drawn np into a knot.
The combination was tonnd to be
too rash to be long lived and of prac
tical use, and was superceded by a
kind of retrograde metamorphosis,
bleeding, puking, purging, saliva
tion, etc.; until to-day we find it sim
mered down to purging, quineism,
and paiiation ; routineisra. A regu
lar routine plan of treatment. This
is probably the way the old school
took the term
REGULAR.
The proceas of purging, depletion,
stimulation, narcotism, etc., undoing
to-day what you did yesterday, and
thus making the rounds pursuing a
very crooked and changeable course,
without compass or helm, was found
loo haaardoua by careful thinkers to
land the ship-safety in the harbor; ex
cept it be the eternal port.
They therefore sought audi found
the "Newton's apple, that gave
birth to a natural, a scientific, an un-
changeable law ; God's law, and the
only law for the selection of drugs
for the cure of disease, and is the same
to-day as when discovered.
Finding we shall not have apace in
this short untoward attack to fully
draw the line of comparison, will be
lars if they can tell us what dbaate
is. Nay, and nowhere in their liter
ature can the answer be found, other
than a negative one, such as a want
of health or something to that effect.
Here the new school steps to the
front and informs us that disease is a
dynamical disturbance of the vital
force ; in other words, disease is not
substance or matter, has no weight
and occupies no space, but is the force
that cailses a molecular change in the
different organs or tissues, and is
analogous to electric fluid.' The ma
teries morbi or disease material, that
we find in the tissue and see excreted
or thrown off through the different
emuuetories or outlets of the body in
sickness, is the product of disease ;
also disease may be produced by ma
terial, but of itself is not matter.
This is the only tenable theory of
disease and is of vital importance to
the new school therapeutist.
It is very patent that if a science
can change at will, the old school
have it, aud we have just seen that
they do not know what disease is ;
then, of course they cannot success
fully treat it. Nkxt.
