The meeting was opened by President eth Low, ,who predicted the enactment of uniform corporation reg ulation laws, worklngmen's compensa tion acts and compulsory arbitration.

The decision, however, would not relieve the condition's attacked by the govern ment,' he said. The trend of the decisions of the su preme court for the 'past five years, Untermyer declared, indicated that they must affirm the finding of the lower courts In the cases of the tobacco and oil trusts. "But by so doing." he said, "the su prerne court will nQaliMkwlieCtfram , the dangora that now threaten the ; American people." 1 The trusts, he predicted, would reor ! gatilze; an separate properties and the business would continue to exist, since tn'e constitution -forbade the confisca . tlon of property. , . , Government's Own Fault. The' entire blame for this state of affairs, according to Untermyer, was due to the attitude of the courts toward the Sherman law for the 10 years fol lowing Its passage.

Believed Big Fight Will Be Pre cipitated When Measure Is Presented; P. R., L. & P. Co. Not Unfavorable to Plan (Rpcflsl Iptch to The Journal.) Salem, Or., Jan. 12. One of the big fightH of the present session of the legislature will be on the public service commission bill. The Portland Rail way, Light & Power company has an nounced that it is in favor of a fair measure of this sort, but It Is the only one of the larger corporations which has declared a favorable attitude, while members of the legislature have heard that several of the railroads and other public service companies Will be in the field against It. In the senate the bill will be intro duced by Dan J. Malarkey, while Edwin G. Amme has announced that he will have a bill In the house. Amme's bill will be modeled after the New York state law, which he believes to be bet ter than any adopted by any other state. He declares that the New York law Is fair to the corporations, while at the game time the members of the com mission are so bound by its provisions that they are unable to discriminate against the people. "Oregon has as yet met with com paratively few abuses from corpora tlons" declared Amme yesterday, "but If we accept thr experience of the east ern states as a barometer they are bound to come. I believe Oregon should take care of the situation before the extremity is reached. If we regulate the corporations now In existence In a manner which will only protect the peo ple and not discourage the Investment of legitimate capital, we will not have the abuses and problems which have been the experience of many of our sis ter states. ' "I know there is going to be a strong lobby against the passage of any publte service eommisslori measure which will be at all serviceable to the people, but I have confidence In tne present legis lature and I "believe the commission will be created and that the law will have useful provisions."

General Maus paid a high tribute to the laws of the state of Oregon, laws, he said, by the people and for the peo pie, and laws which are attracting at tention and drawing favorable comment from all parts of the union.. He spoke of Oregon and the Inland empire as an Immensely rich section where develop ment Is now Just beginning and where It should be carried on systematically with a view of building up one of the most Important parts of the country, "When you have this section filled with people," said the speaker, "the question of defense will have been eliminated, for then there will be enough patriotic citizens to defend It.
