FLAT DISCRIMINATION.
The local members of the Eagles
fraternity are sorely incensed against
the Astoria & Columbia River Rail
road Company and the Northern Pa
cific Company, because of their re
fusal to make a round-trip rate out of
Astoria and return, for the
convention of the order beginning
this week. The N. P. people have
offered a special rate out of Portland
in this behalf, but have refused to do
anything whatever out of this city.
And the discrimination is bitterly re
sented, and will likely be further
demonstrated in the local freight
dealings as between the merchants in
the order here and the lines in ques
tion. The A. & C. people, as usual, hark
back to the fact that the rate be
tween Astoria and Portland is al
ready, and standardly, fixed at one
third less than the statutory rate of
three cents per miles, and that this
should count, primarily, for all an
ticipated reductions of the passenger
tariff. And in a way the claim is a
just one; but the mere fact that it is
the only road in the Northwest with
an established tariff based on two-
cent mileage, docs not interfere with
The Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany, without admitting the equity of
the new lumber schedules set by th
I. C. C, has tentatively adopted them
for the sake of business for it
"empties" east-bound. Perhaps i
will get so busy hauling lumber ii
that direction, it will forget to wage
the further fight.
Mr. Bryan shows plainly that he is
not only willing but anxious for
fusion with Hearst. It will not be
Bryan's fault if old-fashioned Demo
crats are not trolled into this fresh
alliance.
Our friends the Pacific States Tel
ephone people, are now assured that
Astoria means business, and will meet
her fairly and squarely, by setting up
the service so long promised. There
will be no more dawdling allowed,
Seattle; and the people are on the qui vive for
real signs of the real thing.
It would be instructive if the peo
ple of the United States could know
how many business enterprises are
postponed "until Bryan is defeated
again." .
The fashion of killing one's sweet
heart is getting to be altogether too
pronounced in the Northwest; the
girls may be pardoned if they refuse
to pose as targets hereafter; love on
such terms is an extravagant luxury;
the compensations are too meagre
and remote to be' distinguishable; it is
a gamble, anyway one takes it, but a
woman likes to get as far as the
orange-blossoms and the honeymoon
trip, whatever ensues after that.
Why have farmers money for cam
paign or other purposes? Because
they turned down a demagogue and
reatfy appointed State Conservation
Commission. Many others have
written the Preident declaring their
: intention to do so at an early date.
hde still others promise to recom
mend vigorously in their forthcom
ing messages to their respective Leg
islature the appointment of State!
Commissions and active cooperation
with the national body.
Within less than thirty days after
the appointment of the National Con
servation Commission, four govern
ors bad advised the President of sim
ilar state action by themselves- Gov
ernor Folk, of Missouri, who announ

mission to deal with the natural re
source of his State, has carried out

Governor Warner, of Michigan, has
explained to the President that Mich
igan already has a Forestry Commis
sion and a Commission of Inquiry in
to related phases of natural resources
which between them will be able t
iook alter the national resources
of the "Wolverine" State.
.Montana ana Urezon were anion

Conservation Commissions. Und
date of June IS, Governor Edwin I
Norn's, of Montana, wrote the Presi
dent that he had appointed a commis
sion "to. suggest to our next Legisla
tive Assembly proper ways and mean
to conserve and protect the forests o
Montana and I anticipate that th
commission so appointed by me will
make valuable recommendations."
On June 19, Governor George E
Chamberlain, of Oregon, notified the
President that he had already ap
pointed a committee on plans and
program for the movement of the con
servation of resources, and that this
commission is to be enlarged and will
act in co-operation with the National
Commission."
Governor J. Frank Hanly, of In
aiana, writes tnat it is his purpose in
the near future to appoint a state
commission.
Govrenor C. S. Deneen, of Illinois,
says he will be pleased to appoint a
commission for Illinois and will for
ward the names of the appointees,
Governor M. F. Ansel, of South
Carolina, has promised to take up the
matter of appointing a state commis-
ion very soon.
Governor R. B. Glenn, of North
Carolina, writing on June 11, assures
the President that everything neces
sary to enable the North Carolina Ge
ological Survey to compensate with
the National Conservation Commis
sion so as to preserve our resources
will be laid before the next Legis
lature by me in my last message to
that body." Governor Glenn added,
Let me say, Mr. President, in this
connection, that I think the calling
together of the governors was one of
the biggest things that has been done
by any President during my recol
lection, and is bound to result in great
good to the nation, and 1 believe if
the Governors will heartily cooperate
with you, and your successor, along
this line, and there will be great
strides made toward the preservation
f our resources."
