FOR fiAILROAD
Attorney'Cotton Alleges Un
' constitutionality of Rail
road 'Commission Bill.
v la th jvetttlon for Injunction against
the. 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.
Pome months ago the Portland Cham
rr of commerce transportation com-
I .iitee - br Its attorney, : J. N. Teal.
l r Miht an action before the Oregon
lailroad commlRwon lo secure a roduo'
It.'tn of riiNtrthuf Iv. rreirht mtpa nn
n, .'. line eaat of The Dalles, the
lid nt iinotrntrufted nhVieailon. 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. . ; -

BIG CROIVD UNDER
CIRCUS CAUVAS
Norris & Eowe's Perforin
ances Visited by -Eyer-,
Faithful and Curious, i
Portland has again confirmed Its rep
utation, of being a good show -town.
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. ' One Is
the frantlw boy. pursued by s. pistol
firing: -clown, who Is at last captured
and chucked 1 head..flrt into a mon
strous cannon. .-'Bang.'' goes the arUl-
lery. and Instantly at the other end of
the tent a dummy that much resemble

about on a tiny cart by four geese
