There are many evidences that voters are resenting the attempt of tha rail road to dictate the choice of railroad commissioner. It Is looked upon as the flrat lit en in a carefullv olanned effort to bring the commission completely1! under the Influence ana control oi nar The" threatened general Increase Of freight rates by the railroad managers of the United States Is focusing publlo attention on a proposition that was advanced, by Aitchison and supported bv him before the national association of railroad commissioners At Its meet- Ins- at Washington: O, C. in last Octo ber. This proposition ia that no rate shall be advanced until tha shipper has had a chance to be heard before the commission to the reasonableness et the proposed advance. It Is said Aitch ison should be elected on this Issue if on no other. The question is Deinf asked: Would Hamilton be a falthfu advocate and supporter of this and other propositions in tha publlo s in When tha railroad commissioners of the various stales met at. Washington and ouestlona under discussion were submitted to the standing committees. the committee on rates reported recom mending that no changes te made in the present Interstate commerce law.

Tne interstate commerce com mission, in Ita twentieth annual report. urges such an amendment to tha pres ent law. .'1- ( " Xd to Braft of Bill. 'As a result of the agitation of this Question, all the northwest senators met in conference and drafted a bill to amend the act to regulate commerce.'

He has elned to brinsr about numerous trans portation reforms In the Interest of the ubllc. - o f ompialnt rrom . snippers as been passed unnoticed bv him. People who have followed the proceed ings of the Oregon commission say he is fair and impartial. He has bean a commissioner Is months, and thus far no criticism of his official acta has been heard, outside of railroad circles. An anonymous circular has been is sued In the interest of Hamilton, who was defeated by Aitchison in the nrl. martea. In this circular it Is alleged that Hamilton, is Justified in his claim for votes by : the fact that he was a railroad commissioner from -1891 to 1882. The circular states, amon other things, that "difficulties with railroads were always adjusted without going to the courts. .1 ...'
