Oregon I OREGON RAILROADS. Mr. James J. Hill recently deliv ered an address on the railroad sit uation in tho United States, which contains much food for thought. Similar ideas have been expressed before by men of lesser power and ;wealth, and also by Mr. Hill on other occasions, but tho conitlons now pres ent render his views, whether right or wrong, opportune. The country lias been acting quite vigorously and Bwiftly for seven years and it is about ready to do a little thinking. Men of Mr. Hill's stamp generally proceed on the theory that tho pub lic can do little unless It has a mas ter. That is tho industrial theory. In movements which involve ener gies outside of the purely industrial leaders are tho rule. Hence it Is that tho advice which the world lis tens to comes from some private ac cumulation of wealth, who is intent more on keeping what he has than on solving industrial problems on the side of humanity. Throughout Mr. Hill's story and instructive ad dress, there seems to be one persist ent retrain, which, if translated, Would mean: "The railroads are not equal to the development of busi ness in America and it will take five and one-half billion dollars to be ex ponded in the next five years to make them so. Tho attempt to regulato them and criticism of their assuroed dishonesty has spoiled their credit and they can not raise money. It may tuke half a generation to restore their credit so they can go on. In no event can this be done except by conceding to the masters all they ask." It Is not certain that Mr. Hill is not right In his judgment of human na ture. He has no confidence in tho government doing anything of value. He prohahly considers that it would be an impertinenco on the part of the government to do anything to help out tho railroads, unless, per force, It turned overything over to the railroad companies. No railroad magnato would over favor the build ing of a railroad for leasing purposes by a state and if a state should un dertake anything of that sort Mr. Harriman and all the gentlemou who have been ready to share in the profits of wrecking a railroad or have shown skill In watering stock, would lidld up their hands in horror at tho immoiality of such a plan. If, as Mr. JI111 suggests, tho credit of tho rail road financiers is so impaired, that It may tnko half a generation to re store it, why does not tho stato of Orogon ignoro that weakened factor in tho stato's development, and pro coed to issuo bonds to construct a railroad through Oregon's center? IWhy not? Would it bo because Oro gon could not place tho bonds? Would It bo becauso Oregon could not got money on tho bonds? Would It bo becauso tho steel trust would refuso to sell Orogon rails? Would it bo becauso Orogon hasn't courago onough to try? Or would It bo be causo Oregon's nowspapor press Is supplied with passes by railroads companies within tho stato Hues? If, as Mr. Hill says, tho credit of tho railroads hns been Injured, pos sibly wo would hotter not trust them any more. It might not bo oxpectod that n stnto railroad, to bo built find leased, not oporated by tho stato, would bo unnecessary and experi mental In nlmost any other stato in tho Union, but Oregon has suffered so long and suffered so accutoly with out railroads and has such vast re sources and produces so abundantly, that sho should lead tho van nnd build n stato road. This is getting evident from tho fact that tho rail roads havo been giving us an object lesson in showing us how we can bo whipped whenever wo .whimper. Independence of the AVest. (Oregonlan.) Tho New York Journal of Com merce, an excellent authority on market prices, but somewhat biased in Its opinions regarding anything that does not begin and end on Man hattan Island, censures the west for making demands on New York for money which New York owes the west. It seems to think we are very "Inconsiderate" because "one United States senator from tho distant state of Idaho has called upon tho gov ernment to coerco tho National banks of Now York Into yielding up reserves to the needy banks of the west." Tho language in which this statement is made reflects the pro vincialism of tho viewpoint from which New York regards these mat ters. If New York owes the west money (which it does not deny), the "distance" from Wall Street to Idaho, Oregon or any other western state now in position of a creditor trying to collect from a debtor who has used his money for gambling has nothing to do with the case. Tho Journal of Commerce chides the west for a lack of independence of Wall Street. It says we took a "blithe and shortsighted view of a serious situation" when asserted that "the west could move its own crops and take care of its own banking facilities If It became necessary." And yet that is exactly what the west could have done had it not been deceived into believing that New York would pay its just debts without tho necessity of "coercion" on part of the government. Tho western banks have for years kept large balances in New York because they supposed they were safe. We knew that New York contained the greatest gambling joint in the world, and know that some of its great men of alleged respectability and com mercial standing were engaging in this gambling. The west was in ig norance, however, of the fact that the laxity of New York's code of business morals had become such that Wall Street found it Impossible to distinguish between legitimate business and gambling. New York, being the greatest of fender in bringing on this stringen cy, will, of course, suffer accordingly, and, pending its recovery from the drastic penalty which it brought down on Its. own head, It 111 becomes New York newspapers to make any reflection on the attitude of the rest of the country toward its most in iquitous and also its most provincial city. Tho west will always do busi ness with New York, and our banks will always have reserves in that city, but in tho future they will be of such moderate proportions that the wheels of trade in "the distant state of Idaho" and other parts of tho country will not bo blocked simp ly because a lot of Wall Street gam biers overplayed their hands.

Now both tho logging gang and tho railroad operatives havo stopped work. Tho impression seems to be that tho delay will con tinue perhaps up to tho tlmo of the next presidential election.
