Mnrk your bnllot .11 J X Yes, which
sicnns plnco nil public utilities cor
porations under tho control of the
railway commission. There is now
doj general law controlling such con
cerns. Tho various municipalities
try- to control them by special oral
amices, but thoy ought to he umlor
tho supervision and direction of the
railway conunisslon.
WITH THIS SICK.
Mrs. Joe Hodson of North llond

Miss I21 11 a Johnson of Forntlalc
who was rccontly Injured In a run

o
NH OI tho important measures upon the ballot to bo voted upon In
Novombor Is tho stnto-wldo public utility act. It provides, through tho
state railway commission, for tho control, regulation and operation of
nil waterworks, electric lleht and ens companies nnd anything olso that as
sumos tho form of n public utility, which exlslsts by right of a franchise
granted by tho municipalities. Dy far tho most forward step In Oregon
legislation Is the provision to bo found In this law for tho physical valua
tion of theso properties. This Is tho first tlmo tho stnto hns attempted
such a law. Tho act requires, furthermore, thnt tho physical valuation
thus inatlo bo given to tho tax commission for tnxablo purposes.
Tho Importance of tho act to Coos Day and Coos county Is of greater
moment than any other mensuro upon tho ballot. In addition to tho
taxation, It provides for such control ns will permit of tho fixing of tho
prlco to ho charged for tho product based upon tho physical valuation.
In other words, tho commission, which Is tho stnto rnllway commission un
der this act, will dotormino tho prlco for electric lighting, for gas lighting
nnd strcot car riding, based upon n reasonable return of tho property.
This Is adeparturo from our present methods and It can end In no other
wny thnn with benefit to nil.
Under this bill, which was passed by tho lcglslaturo nt Its Inst Bosslon,
by a voto of scvcnty-llvo out of nlnoty members, there is an opportunity
for tho citizens of Coos County to lllo complaints ngnlnst any public
utility nnd secure n honrlng ns wolt ns n ndjudlcntlon. With our present
systonj thoro Is no control or regulation oxcopt that which Is provided in
tho franchise, nnd usually theso aro very limited In tholr extent nnd op
eration. Kvory citizen should voto for this measure, If for no other ono
for tho reason thnt It Is to his own personnl ndvnntngo nnd gives him
rights which ho ennnot exorclso now. When you go to tho ballot, voto
Yes .114

Its onomles.
it scnrcoly adm'is of nrKiiiueiH
thnt the Initiative Lnw ns orglnnlly
Intended by Its rponsors, Is n most
worthy mensuro Hut wo find It
today "working ovortlmo" In Oro
gon. Wo find it being grossly
abused nml porvortod turned from
tho purposo' Tor which It wns ori
ginally intended, nnnicly, to bo a
powerful weapon In tho hands of
tho peoplo with which to got im
portant and necessary legislation
ufter tho snmo hnd been noglected
op rofnsed by tho Stnto l.eglslnturo.
Oovomor Woodrow Wilson says: It
Is to bo regarded ns "a gun be
hind tho door" to ho used only
when tho people's representatives
fall to represent thorn.
After its olght years of uso and
abuse wo find that It Is fast push
ing tho legislature Into a subordin
ate and secondary placo. Beginning
with u fow measures and a com
paratively small olllclnl pamphlot, it
hns grown until today thoro aro 38
Uirasures to bo voted upon, nnd an
ofllclal pnmphlet containing over
250 pages for tho voters of Ore
gon to gropo through in order to
nrrivo at anything llko an intelli
gent conclusion In regard to the
proposed measures.
What percentage of tho voters
will tako tho troublo to glvo theso
3S measures the roqulslto tlmo and
attention in order to voto Intelli
gently thereon? And yet, It is tho
bounden duty of every voter to do
eo. becnuso In this conglomornto
mnss thoro may be Important mea-
peopl of tho stnto. A largo ma
jority ot theso 38 mensuros nro or
dinary matters of legislation which
should hnvo gono to tho leglslnturo
whoro momhors olectod by all of
tho people aro pnld for tho purposo
of passing upon tho morlrs or de
merits of such mensuros, nnd who
nro at least supposed to bo com
petent to rondor nn intelligent do
chlon thereon. And yot wo enn
not expect nny chnngo In tho num

lon; ns wo havo nu unbridled nnd
unprotected lnltlntlvo law thnt nl

faddist nnd fanatic who may bo
alio to ralso tho prlco with which
to hlro nu army ot professional
rctltlou circulators to go forth and
solicit signatures to a potltlon nt
so much por nnmo.
Whnt Is thoro to provont special
Interests from initiating monsures
centnlnlng jokers, which If let pass,
n-ny work untold lnjustlco to tho
people of Oregon? Will tho elec
torate of Oregon tnko tho tlmo and
nouble to study this official pam
phlet sufficiently to select tho good
moasures from tho vicious ones
the wheat from tho chaff, so to
fcpcik, and pass favorably 011 tho
good ones nnd roject the bad ones?
We say no, and to substantiate our
c'nim wo need only call attention
to tho fact that you may go forth
today less than a month boforo
o'.fction, and consult 10 business
nnd professional men whoso busi
ness nnd professional training has
taught them to look cnrofully Into
important matters before rendering
n decision thoreon, and nsk them
If they havo looked carefully Into
tho 38 measures proposed and if
tley havo read tho 250 pnges of
tno oiucial pamphlet. Wo make tho
Hlntomont without fear of bucwh
fill contradiction, that at least '
en out of tho ten will admit they
hnvo not rend tho pamphlet at all,
nnd If so, hnvo only given It a

enso with tho man who Is supposed
to glvo theso matters close atten

Tho romody suggested nt the pre

Is, "Voto 'No' on all measures un

The Majority Rule "J5
will do this by driving all I orjow
measures of legislation Inter the i
islaturo, whero they belong,
by driving tho selfish .and p
clous measures into obllUon
they, also, belong.
The Majority Rule amendment, if passed, will reduce the number of measures on the
ballot to a sane basis by giving notice to all that a measure in order to stand a chance

in which case there will be no difficulty in getting a majority to vote in favor of it.
