EXPLAINS BILL PERMITTING STATE,

Important address deltverod by C E.
B. Wood at a meet I of of lb Oregon
Idaho Development league Tuosday
at La Orande. It " complete
explanation of tbe plan of atate rail
road construction that waa approved
by the last state U?nlslature and
which way be placed In operation to
aecure badly needed, railroad trana
, Xortatlon for Oregon. The addreaa
lollowi:
, There lU intt deal of rnUlnforma
tion belne cast abroad by people who
ouaht to know toiler concerning the
elf-help movement for railroad. Why
jiot examine the matter before lanorant
ly ranting about HT To begin with,
thera la nothing in the preaent. stste
constitution prohibiting the state from
building railroads; not a syllable. Tns
tai haa built a railroad the portage
railroad; owns it and la operating It.
The state ran gridiron Itaelt with rail
roada if it wanta to. The state haa I
the aame power to build rallroada that
ii haa to build county roada or wagon
roads, or can la. So let that point be
considered settled. It la not necessary
to alter the constitution to enable the
utate to build railroads. It haa that
power now. ' ' - , . - '
What the stale cartnot do la to is
sue, bonda to a greater amount than
lf.0,000. If the state . built . rail
road today, It would have to tax the
people aa money waa needed. : The
amendment la designed, among other
thinra. to permit the state to issue
bond to a greater amount than 150.000,
for the purpose of railroad construc
tion only. Thus." Instead of taxing the
To
which
people. It la designed to relieve them
from Uxatlon. The objections urged
are;
71 ' Wlat Objections War. . ,
' First Thla la a departure from the
wisdom f the fathers and opens the
door to all the old-time scandals and
railroad graft. 1
Recond It embarks the state In the
railroad bualneaa with all the evils of I
mixing Business ana pontics.
Third It is socialistic.
Fourth It will "bankrupt the state."
FifthThe state cannot raise the
money against the opposition of the
. Rockefeller-Harrlman crowd. . -
Sixth It will drive private capital
out of the railroad business In. Ore
gon. . .
Seventh Mr. Harriman will parallel
the atate line and run It.
As to the wisdom of the fathers that
is aa it may be. ' To assume that
the rtaat held a creater wisdom than
the present is to assume that the world
progresses backward. Every genera
tion la the best Judge of its own par-
' tlcular needs. If-by this objection l
meant that the door la open to the old
time grafting railroad subsidies and
state aid to private greed, i this only
. shows the lamorance or the objectors.
The present restrictions In the constl-
tutlon are not. toucnea; on me con
trarv they are Increased under this
amendment.- Not only can no aid be
a-ranteri bv ' the state directly or indl
rectlv nor by a railroad district to any
one; but a .railroad built by a state
nr tL district- can never be sold to any
private ownership, nor leased except
, upon . a rental securing at least the
fixed charges .and a sinking fund, and
as maich other return as possible and
nn terroa guaranteeing Impartial service
to tne public.
B"o State Bailroada.
In -.abort It Is not.trne.that.lt Is a
return - to state aided ray roads. They
are to be atate or district owned raw
roada-owned by the people forever
and .leased for operation or opened as
common highways to all users on regu
lar toll rates, ? or, ir compejiea to it,
peraterl by the state.'' The vast bene
fit to the people In owning the roadbed
is shown by the Western & Atlantic
railrfad, built by the state of Georgia
in 1836. the appreciation in. value since
the road waa built being $12,000,000.
Why should not this unearned incre
"raent go to the people . who causa It
rather than to private owners? This
road is today leased at a rental of near
ly 1500.000 net to the state, which in
come will be greatly increased aa soon
. as the present lease expires. The city
of Cincinnati-has derived great revenue
irons the lease of the Cincinnati South
ern which it built and owns. A lease is
the easiest way to regulate railroad
operators. , The terms can be laid down
' in the lease and if not complied With;
faithfully the lease can be forfeited.- ,
It is not true mat it . crnuaras m
: state in noli ileal management of rail
roads. In the first place the modern
drift Is away from parties and politics
toward buainess in all things and there
is no more reason a commission can
. not be constituted on buainess prlnol
. riles to handle the state railroad inter-
tests than that one cannot be created
to handle- city water or gas or public
libraries, but it is not necessary that
anvthlnr of the kind - be done. If
road through central Oregon or to Coos
' Bar be built, do vou suppose Mr. Har
riman will not be very glad to lease
It? If he doesn't want It. Mr. Hill will
be delighted, or if neither wants It,
there will be plenty or skilled opera
tors onlv too a-ad to lease a road at
ready built. But fancy Mr. Harriman
letting it go to Mr. Hill. .
Could Collect Tolls.
Or the state could simply take tolls
-Trem all corners, lust as tne xsortnern
Pacific charge the Astoria road for
use of Ita track from Gobi a to Port
land. It la as easy to dispatch 10
trains owned bv 10 roads as of one road.
But at the worst, it is not so bad to
have politics In the state railroads as
it is to have railroads In the state
roll tics

to watch their Interests. The time Is

An war Must Se practical.
There comes to every generation a
practical queallon to be answered III a
practical way. Oregon la without rail
road development, fastern Oregon la
the greatest undeveloped tract In the
United States. Oregon is the atate most
neglected by railroads. It ia girdled
by on monopolistic system which oo-
cupiea the passes only to hold them,
snd will neither build nor let others
build. It takes Oregon profits to fur

- In conclusion, the state can build rail

Forty business men whose Interests

A seven course banquet was served

I Make Good Every Promise
and Never Disappoint My v
Patients
I want to impress it upon every weak roan
that I can make him strong, healthy, full of
4 vitality, alert and free from every taint of dis
ease and weakness. I have limited my spe
cialty in; practice to only a few of the more im-
" portant disorders, so that I could KNOW
these thoroughly. My experieftce along ;this
one path for 25 years qualifies me to say posi-
: tively that such troubles ' as Spermatorrhoea,
Hydrocele, Varicose - Veins, specific Blood - - . -Poison,
Weakne&s, Contracted Disorders and Reflex Ailments,, can be
cured perfectly and permanently. .
