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

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

Portland. Nov. 22. To the Editor of
The Journal" In perusing the columns
of your valuable and instructive Sunday
edition. I came across an article headed
Salome and Her Dance of Abandon
by Mrs. John A. I.ogan, wherein she
seems to be' astonished to think that
the dance should be received with "fa-
or or tolerated by refined people,"- and
then proceeds in her own way to por-
ray me wnuie mtueeauHg nimir in uiei
columns of a family paper, which has a
irculation of over 30.000 and Is read
by at least three times that number,

hence will not sla-n my name to thli
