Shaftesbury. & A tlmly decision T IHE DEClSIONof the supreme court of Oregon upholding the Initiative law providing for transferring the towage and pi lotage business on the Columbia river to a port commission, while general ly anticipated, is nevertheless an agreeable piece of news over which Portland and other ports this side of Astoria as well can feel thankful to morrow arid thereafter.. This busi ness as handled in the past has been a handicap, on Portland s commerce, and It 'may be reasonably expected thai' Hnmi fifn 4hi .1-W a Inn v.- fcUCkV HUUl IUIO IK JW , WHIU tkU lilt jf preclable tax, this handicap will be removed. The law for this purpose passed by the last legislature was held un- - constitutional, on the ground that the port created by It was a munic ipal corporation, but the court now holds that the new act passed by the people Is valid, incidentally uphold ing the proposition that laws relat ing to municipal corporations may be passed by initiative petitions and a popular vote - 2 With the new system In- operation commercial interests may expect a radical reform in the pilot service across the bar, as well as a lighter burden for towage, which will be distinctly profitable not only to Port land exporters, but to the producers ' of the tributary country as well. INCREDIBLE RUMORS R. BUTLEft, J, D. Lee. A. C. Marsters ,jind Frank J. Miller are presidential electors to -represent Oregon in the elec R. toral college, They are expected to vote for Taft. They are under tacit agreement to vote , for Taft. But they are not legally bound to do so. There is nothing in the constitution, state or federal, to compel them to do so. Their only obligation is a moral one.. Yet it is an obligation that they will respect. Not one of them will be a traitor to the people who trusted them. Nojone of them will refuse to vote for Taft; for thereby he would place himself in position to be forever execrated for his treachery. For these reasons The Journal re fuses to believe current reports. These reports are that one, if not more, of these electors is advising legislators to treacherously violate their pledges. It is unthinkable, no matter what his friendships, that Mr. Butler,- Mr. Lee, Mr. Marsters or Mr. Miller would advise a pledged legislator to turn traitor. It is in credible that any one of them would ask another Jo-do jhat which he will not himself do. If he should give such advice what manner of man is he? ' ,"r- The pledged legislator stands, un der an Infinitely stronger obligation to support Chamberlain than the presidential elector to vote for Taft. He" is bound by a. written pledge and that pledge is a public record. ' That pledge, wasa. means and reason for his election, and he is therefore in contract iWith the people. The pres- laenuai eiecior is not explicitly pledged. He has' signed nothing. In the beginning the presidential elec tor, was elected by the state legisla ture. ' He wa not even ""chosen by the people. He wafe, as he is now, free, to vote, for any., man for presi dent. Long, usage has made it the regular and orderly course for him to accept the people's choice. There Is. no; constitutional 'provision, nor legal provision that he shall do so. It is not. a violation of the constitu tion for, him to -accept the popular choice as'.hls' choice. . On this exact model' the selection of senator in Oregon Is based, the single; differ ence being that the legislator "gives a written pledge. V The two' processes are the same. ; .The principle in each i identical This Is what makes it i:nthfnkhb)fo that an Oregon presl when; will the day of. post ponements and excuses end?; c CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY Is quoted ; as admitting that the Willamette project may fall at the coming session of congress The reason ascribed Is that it is the short session. Last year we were told that It was not the session for river and harbor bills. A year hence there will be another session at which river and harbor bills will not be considered. The year after that it will be the "short session.'! When then, will there be some chance for the Willamette project? Is this matter seriously considered by those who represent us at Washington, or is all the talk about It mere bun combe? The Journal would not do one member of the Oregon delegation the slightest injustice. Its desire and its purpose ls't6 do everything possible to strengthen their hands. It is devoted to the development and upbuilding of Oregon as the delega tion should be. To do that, and not to play politics, is the .business of the men we send to Washington. The people of the state are depend ing upon them to secure at the na tional capital those aids for water ways and harbors that other states are getting and. that are essential to public welfare, and material prog ress. If the delegation cannot discharge-this trust there is absolute ly no use to maintain tbem at Wash ington. This newspaper does not charge them with insincerity, but it does Insist that' last year's excuse of no rivers and harbors bill and this year's excuse of a "short ses sion" Is both annoying and a cause of impatience It is a character of excuse that cannot appeal to practi cal men. Giving to all members of the delegation full credit tfr absolute-sincerity, as this newspaper does, the query that forces Itself upon thee Interested in the Willam ette project becomes, what does it all mean? After all is It going to be neces dential elector could advise an Ore gon legislator to turn traitor and betrayer. A CANDID CONFESSION. AT LAST T HE PENDLETON TRIBUNE says that "the people of a state should have nothing whatever to do with the election of sena tors, and further, "that members of the legislature are not In the least servants of the people in this mat ter." This at least is candid. But few people will agree with it, or ought to agree with it. If these statements be correct, then the United States senate, and legislatures in electing them, are not representative bodies ai all; to this extent we do not have a representative government. It will be replied that the makers of the constitution meant senators to represent states as such, not the people. But what are states but the people? Would there be any state, or would it need any represen tation, except for Its people? There la a sense in which a senator repre sents a whole state as a representa tive does not, but the distinction be tween state and people is mostly academic, theoretical, rather than practical, vague and dubious. When Bryan asked, "Shall the People Rule?" the Tribune and all Republican papers in concert an swered, "They do rule." But the people throughout the country, probably nine tenths of them, cer tainly a great majority, desire elec tion of senators by the people. But they cannot accomplish this in the way provided for In the constitution because the senate itself will not take the necessary .action to enable them to do so. They have been asking for this change for 30 years and more and cannot get it. But in Oregon they have found a way to elect senators directly, without run ning up against the constitution. Sfany politlcans and partisan news papers that pretend to favor elec tion of senators by the people bring all sorts of flimsy and sophistical ob jections to this method, as they would against any method. The fact is that they don't want sena tors 'elected by the people. The Pendleton paper frankly ad mits this. The people, it says, "should have nothing whatever to do with the election of senators"; in this "members of the legislature are not in the least servants of the peo ple." Here at last we have the be lief, the doctrine of the anti-Statement leaders openly avowed. "The people be damned." The senator ship is none of their business. It is a matter for auction, for trading and trickery, for bribery and boodl Ir.g, for holding up good or forcing through bad legislation, for putting unworthy men in offices, for scandal and shame and misrepresentation of the people, for debauching the pub lic service and making the senate a body servile to the plundering inter erts. ' ' No, The Journal cannot agree, nor will the people, with this view of the matter. Election of senators is very much the "people's business, is in t,he last analysis wholly their business; and in this matter, as in all others, members of the legisla ture are servants of the people. In no matter "whatever are they f any thing else. It if assumed that the constitution prohibits members 6f a legislature from serving ithe people or being advised by be people In sary for the state to undertake alone the purchase of the Willamette locks If excuses are to continue the plan commends itself. It is the plan that was originally proposed. In reduced freight rates it would quickly save the entire cost'. It would be an ex ample of state enterprise to impress congress for, larger ' appropriations for .other parts of the state. The state built portage road was the ar gument that influenced congress to give large sums for Celllo. The two millions spent by Portland for the deeper channel . In the Columbia helped to bring the heavier approprla tlons for the river's mouth. It Is a natural law for the world, for con grosses and for men, to admire and help those who help themselves. The universal band is lifted to aid those who try to fly with their own wings. State ownership of the locks would help all Oregon in, pres tige and example. Illinois Is to spend, not a few hundred thousand, but $20,000,000 for deepened water ways in that state. New York is spending $110,000,000 on the Erie canal. - However, it seems Incredible that 'he state should be compelled to act alone. The conditions for success seem too favorable to make that al ternative necessary. Judicial deter; minatlon has given the state a one tenth Interest in the revenues of the locks. It has likewise been deter mined that the public right super sedes the private right to water privileges. The whole state favors free locks, except those whose power to collect extra high freight rates would be lest through public owner- hip. But above and beyond all, the state goes to the door of congress and offers to bear half the cost. Conditions could not be more aus picious. Thus extraordinarily armed, is the Oregon delegation impotent to secure congressional aid? Must there be continuation of postpone ments and continuation of excuses? this matter. Against such an as sumption surely no argument is needed. ANOTHER HAKRIMAN RAILROAD M' R. HARRIMAN. It is reported has secured possession of the Wisconsin Central railroad, an important line, but one that Is said to be greatly run down and that will require a large amount of money to put ft inflrst class con dition so that it can be made an ef fective competitor in "Hill terri tory." This transaction is of inter est to Oregon people because, if Mr. Harrlman continues his past policy they will have to help pay for the rehabilitation or expensive Improve ment of this road, although this is of no direct Interest or profit to them. Heretofore Mr. Harrlman has diverted many millions of money made in Oregon to distant enter prises that were of no appreciable benefit to the people of this state, and it is to be presumed that be will continue to do so. That he did this for years while neglecting Oregon, doing almost nothing for its develop ment, and refusing the appeals of its people for new or extended lines. properly ardtosed very severe criti cism, and causd them to feel that the situation had become Intolerl able; but if he will go ahead prompt ly and vigorously with the new roads projected and so give railroadless portions of Oregon the opportunity to develop that they have so long and earnestly desired, his use of Oregon money in other and distant states will not be regarded with so much displeasure nor provoke so much hostility. If Mr. Harrlman will spend a good many millions building roads in Oregon fier ' peo ple will be willing to help him build some elsewhere. Only one bid was made for city lighting for the ensuing year, and it will cost about $25,000 more than last year. The city is helpless; the monopoly can fix its own price. Which situation may . possibly lead some people to conclude that there Is no good reason why a city should not own its lighting plant and wa ter power to run it. The roll of students at the Ore gon Agricultural college now num bers 1,072, and of these 136 are from other states than Oregon. This is a good showing indeed, and will en courage people of Oregon to a lib eral support of that excellent In stitution. Oregon people should not only patronize Oregon manufac turers, but Oregon colleges as well. Without meaning any disrespect to the late Senator Allison, the change from him to Cummins, if the latter shall fulfill expectations based upon hiB past record, will be a good one not only for Iowa but for the whole country. Cummins is a man of force, of considerable moral cour age, is progressive In his ideas and is yet in his prime, none of which Senator Allison, was. The Louisville Courier-Journal quotes Edmund Burke's remark on one occasion: 'I know no method of drawing up an Indictment agalnBt a whole people. The Courier-Journal applied the saying to the national election, but with equal force, if within narrower limits, it may be ap plied to the election tn Oregon last J une.
