SENATOR CHARLES. W. FULTON
JOURNEYS FROM NATION'S CAPI
TAL TO ENTER HIS NAME ON THE
GREAT REGISTER.
United States Senator Charles W.
Fulton arrived in this, his home city, on
the' 11:45 express yesterday morning,
from Washington, via Portland, on a
very brif and hurried trip, the main
purpose of which is to enter his name
on the great register of the county a
an elector; and incidentally, to attend
to some mutters of privae business that
demand his immediate attention. He
return to the metropolis this evening
on the "6:10", and will leave thence for
the national capital on Monday next,
rushing straight through in order to
reach his seat t the earliest possible
moment after the opening of Cbngre
on Monday next. . (
The Senator, speaking to a reporter
of this paper, yesterday, said that Con
gress has great masses of work ahead
of it and that it will be one of the
busiest sestion in its history ;and in
reply to a direct inquiry as to what
phase of that volumne of work h
'would give his best interest and energy,
Senator Fulton intimated that he would
get especially fcusy if a general Rivers
and Harlors bill was introduced, an. I
strive indefatigably for the.rescogni
tion of the river and waterways of Ore
gon in particular, and of the sani?
agencies throughout the country where
the same were of commanding Import
ance; and that aside from this, he in
tended to press the consideration and
passage of his bill to amend the Inter
State Commerce law, and known at
Senate Bill No. 423.
This bill amends the present law by
compelling the transportation companies
of the country to submit all new traflic
schedules to the Inter-State Commerce
Commission for approval and legal ai
ceptance before placing them in effect
upon their lines; in other words it pro
hibits an increase in rates until a hear

The Nobby Clothier
ing on the same has been had by the
Commission, in order to avoid just such
ruinous contretemps as is now notorious
in the matter of the new lumber rates;
a condition that is jeopardizing million
of capital and forcing ruin on hundreds
of business ventures through the extra
ordinary delays in its final adjudication.
Under the terms of Senator Fulton's
amendment, the Cofnrnjsion may ap
prove the rates submitted and mae
them operative by the company devising
them jor it may qualify them oy the
tihfltitution of nif intermediate system
of rates in the mine connection, or it
may disapprove and repudiate the new
schedule absolutely; thus leaving, all
concerned free from the turmoil and
cost incident to the operation f the
newer tariff until it has beenproperly
and legally confirmed by the people
charged with that duty. As it stands
today, the increased rate may be applied
by any company choosing to eivforce it,
to the 1ms and detriment of the ship
ping concerns, and what they shall have
paid out on it, may, in the event the
Inter-Sta'te Commerce Commission final
ly condemno it, prove an unjust add Irra
tional loss, a complete case of puN
"bunco."
All the great Senate committees will
hold meetings next week to organize
their affairs and get in line for the big
accumulations of the session. As chair
man of the Senate committee on Claims,
Senator Fulton expects to be practically
overwhelmed with work, as this is one
of the busiest of all, having no less
than 2000 cases before it already, let
alone all that will accrue with the ad
vance of the session. -.
The Senator reports the whole eaot in
the clutches of La Grippe, and that when
he left Washington, Mrs. Fulton was
wrestling with a- light attack, but he
expects to find her quite recovered on
his return, an expectation in which their
many friends here will join most heart
ily. " Mr. Halderman had readied fanning
ton when the Senator left, and has been
kept -working overtime disposing of tho
Wg correspondence that falls to Senator
Fulton's desk these strenuous days.
For a "long" session, the Senator be
lieves that Congress will compass, its
duties M early as the irst of May,
unless something unforsecn arises to
continue it to the old limitations' of
June or July. J
