Oraon railroad' commission f Ud yesterday by. "W.'W. Cotton to restrain th commlBsion from reducing distribu tive rate ea-st or The Dalles, as tAted in yesterday's v Journal,, the " railroad company's attorney makes a general at tack 'upon the constitutionality of the commission and the Oregon' railway regulation Law and declares that, If not restricted : the commission esa . under this law confiscate - railroad property without due process or equal protection of law and in violation of the federal rnnatitntlon. " ' t Mr. Cotton's line of defense was out lined several days ago in The Journal,' and he has carried It to a point, that will raise In the federal court for Ore- ton the entire lmt of questions that have been raised by railroad counsel In th,-lr tofig determined fight against the popular movement to regulate rail- roaas. - "Interetata," Criea Bailroaa.

The n wmlnson rierd a fcllKtit reduction bu. ., i te railroad company, realsted the order and the Injunction now asked by Mr. Cotton In the federal court Is to restrain the state commission from en forcing lta order. " - - " " . Mr. Cotton alleges that the proposed reduction of distributive 4 rate would conflict with Interstate -rates and ne cessitate changes In the transconti nental freight rate, schedules and the rates between eastern Oregon and Cal ifornia oolnta. He brings up r the new contention, that should tha Oregon com- mission enforce certain-rates in iuu t.i. n tha WKxninCTon commission act along similar lines In the state of Washington, tile - inrougn - inrBia rates wouia ne necessarily iixea uj wj twn titaim ahedulea. and i that ' this amounts to an interference - with and practical' control of interstate com merce by ttas action of Individual states. wnicn is in- infringement upon me au thority or congress ana toe, jeuerai government's machinery. : Oonatltutlonal OonXllot Alleged Mr. Cotton further alleges . that the act creating the Oregon railroad com mission is in conflict with the federal constitution for the reason that It seeks to arm the commission with adminis trative, Judicial and t legislative func tions, each of which the federal Jaw prescribes shall be divided and Invested in separate bodies or persons. He says the O. Ri-fe N.-company-Is -a part of the Union Paclfio system.' and that 7 per cent of Its business is the hauling of freight from the 'Missouri river or points east or south to Portland, and that the distribution of this freight from Portland - to. ioints' within the state of Oregon is a function the charge for-which is baaed on the Interstate rates charged for the Jong hauL Any reduction of these distributive rates by the Oregon railroad commission amounts to an attempt to ' regttfate commerce between the several states and is an Infringement upon the exclusive powers of the federal Govern m en t. , Judge Wolverton will, after looking over the netltlon and conferring with Attorney-General Crawford, fix a date for the hearing of the railroad com. pany's rase. . ; - ' ' ' T i ,, (.

Norris A Rowe's circus has been-here many times, but the big tent at Twenty 1 lit tn and Kaieign streets t was pacjeeu at both-performances yesterday. What' more, everybody got .his mon ey' worth. Several new features have been added to the show, and thoVigh the dor and nonr acta tha nucleus of the present circus, are not as prominent as of old, there Is something doing all-' the time, several somethings In fact, so no matter the taste of the spectator ho can be suited In one ring or another. . i no team or ponies rour abreast have been chariot-racing so long that It is all the same to them whether there is a Ben Hur In th r.haj-int or not. Ijtat evening one of the drivers tumbled from! lua crx at me opening of the race, and the ponies . went . tearing around at break-neck speed, guided only by their wet will and long training. y . i There are some clown stunt ' that will bring a mna anywhere.
