Pledge, Says Wilcox.
(Speclil Dispatch to The Journal.)
Washington. Nov, 80. T. B. Wilcox
of Portland today declared his visit here
had nothing to do with the senatorial
question in Oregon. He expressed the
opinion that the question was now '"up
to the legislature."
' "A pledge Is a pledge," he said, "and
only reinstructlon from the voters could
change the relationship towards the
pending electlo- sustained by members
of the legislature."
He stated that he thought Fulton
would be a better senator than Cham
berlain. He regarded a member of the
legislature as standing largely In the
position as a manager of a business who
might receive a change of Instructions
from his brard of directors.
"As regards Chamberlain, however,
the only thing I have against him is
his politics," said Wilcox.
He refused to comment on his con
ception of the duty of Statement No, 1
men.
He held a prolonged conversation with
Senator Fulton today.
It now seems apparent that it is
Hitchcock's purpose to permit the use
of his name for Fulton, risking the re
sentment of the Oregon people at offi
cial interference In their affairs by out
side men.

STEPS TAKEN
IlgR
Comprehensive Suggestions
in Report of Conservative
Committee Important
-. Recommendations Made
Needed Improvements.
"" Probably ths most comprehensive and
suggestive presentation of the PS
sources of Oregon' and of the steps
that should be taken for their conserva
tion Is contained In the report of the
commission appointed a few months ago
by Governor Chamberlain, in pursuance
or the plans inaugurated on a national
scale by President Roosevelt.
The Oregon, conservation commission
consists of J. N. Teal, chairman; F. G.
Toung. secretary; R. S. Boan, Austin T.
Buxton. J. N. Hart. ('. S. Jackson. Will
J. King, E. R. Lake, J. H. Lewla, Frank
J. Miller, Richard W. Montague. C. B.
Watson. J. R. Wilson. Wilbur K.
Newell. J. C. Stevens.
The- report of the commission Is con
tained In a Drinted namnhlct nf lSIi
pages, profusely Illustrated with views.
maps and aiagrams. The scope of the
report. Is broad and includes a review
of the national movement for conser
vation of the country's resources, a
summary of the efforts that have been
made for the improvement of water
transportation In Oregon (including the
government, work at the mouth of the
Columbia), Important data relating to
the water and statistics on resources
of the state, a chapter on the state
water laws, , the reclamation of arid
lanfis. and the timber, mineral and fiab
J.iar industries. .
impgruni recommendations ior nat
ional and state legislation are made and
tae arguments are sustained by num
erous citations and tabulated figures.
This report will be submitted to the
coming congress on the conservation of
-national resources,- which is to meet In
Washington, D. C, in December.
' Important Beeonunsndations.
One of the important recommenda
tions contained in the report is that
there should be a separate federal de
partment or commission having charge
of waterwaya and represented by a
cabinet orllcer.
Needed Improvements f Oregon
rivers, harbors and water fowers are
exhaustively discussed and nils portion
of the- report concludes with the fol
lowlna- summary:
"Summing briefly the pertinent fea
tures of this discussion, we find:
"1 A lamentable lack of physical
data concerning the natural resources
of the state.
"2 The quickest remedy for this lack
will be found in liberal cooperation of
of the state with the federal agencies
engaged in collecting inese uata.
"8 The water powers of the state are
enormous almost beyond comprehen
sion, and are being rapidly monopolised
through lack of proper lawa.
"4 In the development of water aup
ply, our best interests demand that
the several uses or water Irrigation,
water power, navigation, etc. be coor
dinated and the relative merits of each
emphasized In the construction of pub
lip works.
"6 A S foot navigable channel on the
upper Willamette through a combination
of artificial storage and channel im
provement Is possible, and the value of
tne additional water powers that would
be Incidentally created Is sufficient to
pay the cost of Improvement."
Other Points.
In line with these findings the com
mission makes these recommendations:
1. We strongly urge the coming leg
islature to increase the appropriations
for cooperation with the federal agen
cies engaged In collecting physical data
on the natural resources of this state.
t. We recommend the enactment of a
suitable Water law, to the end that our
vast water powers shall be protected
from monopoly, and their development
encouraged.
8. In the event of an inability to
provide a more efficient system for the
acquirement of water rights, we urge
the auspensicn of the present law until
suitable measures for the protection and
use of our water resources can be
agreed upon.
The report deals at length with the
problems arising from the laws now
governing irrigation and the acquisition
of water rights. In the opinion of the
commission the office of state geologist
should be created. In order to settle the
vexing questions constantly arising over
mineral lands. The conflicting fishery
laws of Washington and Oregon are dis
cussed and Joint legislation Is advised:
First For the extension of the closed
season, for operation licenses and penal
ties. - Second Absolute prohibition of all
salmon fishing from January 1 to
May 16.
Third Sunday closing during the
open season. 1. e, 24, and better 30,
hours. Including the whole of every
Sunday, during which period no fishing
shall be allowed.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 30. Another
step In the government suit against
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
went on record today, when the counsel
for the government applied to the su
preme court for a writ of certiorari,
thus bringing the famous rebate case
before the highest tribunal. This is
the case In which the court of appeals
reversed Judge Landts' fine of 129,240,
000 against the corporation.
The government in its petition for
a writ of certiorari advances as its
principal prayer the importance of an
interpretation by the supreme court of
the United States of certain clauses of
the railroad rate law. It is pointed out
that several sections of the Elklns law
are not sufficiently explicit In view of
conflicting court decisions and that the
court of last resort should for the bene
fit of all concerned take Jurisdiction of
the case and give a construction which
will be final and binding upon all in
ferior courts.

The government contends that under

act, which plays an Important part In
the, Standard OH case, one circuit court
of appeals may place one construction
upon it, and another court in another
circuit ' a conflicting construction, and
that .it. la. possible that nine different
constructions may come from the nine
circuits. The complications that could
arise have been used for their full ef
fect in the petition of the government,
and the officials of the department of
justice are confident that the court will
grant the request for a construction of
the law. .- ',

VOICE OF THE EASTERN PRESS . .
-PLEDGES ARE CONSTITUTIONAL
i
From tho Washington. D. C.'Herald. , - ' . t '
A number of United States senators now hold their seats by virtus
of popular elections In their respective states,-and the number Is shortly .
to Be Increased. We have not the remotest Idea- that the question of the
right of anv of these senators to repreaent hla state will be raised on ;
the ground that he was unconstitutionally chosen, so long as he presents
credentials showing that he was formally "chosen by - the legislature
thereof." ... -
The assumption that legislatures hava In the past exercised that free
choice In the selection of senators contemplated by the - constitution Is
wholly erroneous. Many a senator has come to Washington ' whose
choice wss no more a free choice by tha legislature -than it was bjr the
people. It was made, as every student ef political history knows, by .
a cabal, or a machine, or it was bought outright, or. obtained through
pavment of the campaign -expenses of legislators in return for pledgee
of "enatorlal support, or through promises of place and pelf, or by, vari
ous combinations of these methods. Political bosee wera- careful not to
make the matter of the aenatorshlD an Issue before tha people; pledges
were exacted and made In secret; ths legislature was bound hand SBd font,
to some particular candidate before It assembled. To get rid of tha In
evitable corruption of this method snd to give to the people the rightful ,:
share in the choice of a senator, which they are supposed to have, when
they elect the members of a legislature. the plan was devised of ul
mltting the names of senatorial aspirants to a direct vote of the people
and of pledging legislative candidates to support the popular ehol?a. This ,
haa nanitllv rlnna In nrlr nrimaries. but Oreaon has aone a Step
T further-by providing-a method of selecting a senstor by a vote of all the ,
T people.. ao that the successful candidate must have a 'popular majority ,
T over his opponent and not merely a majority, over his opponent or ppo- , ,
J nents in hi? own party.. , '.-,, ; . .
T And now It Is solemnly urged that this system.-because it contemplates
X the subjection of the legislative will to the popular will. braua It
A pledges legislators to act as tapir conuiorni vuw, i unwinmoironni, .
X jn that the legislature does not exercise a free choice. It is perfeel'y .
X constitutional for a legislature to obey. the dictates of a political boas or .
X machine, to redeem pledges-made to a candidate and rewarded by-oaab .
X or office, but when such pledges are mads to the people, the sourc of ,
X all political power, they are In contravention of ths constitution. Such .
X an argument is its-own best refutation. .. . , ,
t The real trouble, with the primary system, from tha reactionary point
of vlew. Is that It promises to bring to an end the representation of ape-
cial interests in ths United States senats and restore a true rprenta-
lion of the states, and tha whole peoP' thereof, conalatent boih win

wholesome mtfvement for the redemption of sstorlsl -eleciimi. tm,,
