(Br S Staff CofTMpOBdaat.) Saiem, Or., Feb. I. -Kx-Oovernor T. T. Oeer, formerly of Marion county but now a temporary citlsen of Pendleton, has come back from his new home to f-hie-old one, and ia spending-strenuous hours in an effort to persuade the legis lature to override Governor Chamber lain's veto of the board of control bill paaaed at the session of HOt. : As a secondary matter of Interest he Is try ing to knock the spots out of the Cbapln bill for .the creation of a railroad com mission by the appointment of the gor- ernor. ',. - Mr. Qeer's political friends are won dering Just wby It is that he takes the stand he does, for it is an open secret that he has great aspirations to be gov ernor once more at the conclusion of Chamberlain' Urm. Tie Chaanbertaln'B Hands.' Tha generally accepted explanation of his wanting a board of control is that this is a move of political vengeance. the object being to deprive Governor Chamberlain of the control of the peni tentiary and the appointment of its superintendent by throwing It Into tho hands of the Republican majority. During the past week the one-time sage of the Waldo bills, now trans planted among the sage brush of Uma tilla county, has been Industriously cov ering large sheets of state paper with calculations Intended to show the dif ference of cost In the operation of the penitentiary under the administration of his superintendent, acting under the direction of the chief warden, and the expense of the present administration where the superintendent Is at the helm. He Is showing to the legislators that his administration was the cheaper in money, and contends that it was also more efficient and satisfactory, rrobably eustala Veto. The board of control bill comes up for consideration by the senate Monday next at t o'clock under special order, and Indications are that the veto of Oovernor Chamberlain will be sustained. This belief Is given added strength by the efforts of those who wish to over rwle the veto to have the consideration pstponed longer, hoping that future de velopments of the session will make pos sible some trade by which votes against the governor's attitude may be won. ' Oeer's second battle Is with ths rail road commission bill.. Both In his paper and by voice he la urging that the leg islature elect - the commission, thus throwing the whole creation of the board Into the lap of politics. He is doing this In the face of the strong sentiment to the contrary from his section of the state, lehlch Is burdened with rate dis crimination and lack of railroad service, and which la eager for an effective law of regulation and remedy.
