TT7ZT "IDIOTICALLY PltEPOSTER
OVSV A writer in the Times-Mountain
eer, over the signature of "Common
Sense," passes some very severe
strictures on the two Washington
congressmen, Messrs. Cushman and
Jones, because, forsooth, "the- re
cently stepped over into Oregon with
a doubly nonsensical effort to ac
complish an impossible and prepos
terous absurdity by introducing n
bill or bills to appropriate ever so
many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars" for n portage railway from The
Dalles to Celilo. "Common Sense"
wonder if "these fellows are fools
or knaves," and asks if they do not
know that "what they are professedly
working for is not only absolutely
impossible but idiotically preposter
ous." "Common Sense" then oracu
larly aflirms that "it has been decided
over and over again twice in this
same Dalles portage case that
without an amendment to the con
stitution of the United States, con
gress cannot appropriate money to
build and operate a mile of railroad
for commercial purposes anywhere
upon the continent or the globe."
The Chiiomcle has no desire for
controversy but it would like to
know, nnd thousands of people in
me inland Empire woultl tike to
know, upon what historical or legal
basis this opinion of "Common
Sense" rests. ',We are well aware
that the government has never here
tofore attempted such a work. But
this is surely not the same as saying
that the government is inhibited by
tho constitution from attempting ,it.
If this question has been "decided
over and over again" by any compe
tent authority, "Common Sense"
would confer n favor upon a large
number of people by letting us know
when the decisions were made and
by whom. This is not written in
any spirit of captious criticism. Far;
from it. Tin: Ciiitoxici.K is in favor !
of any measure Hint will open the
river and open it soonest. It is de
lighted to learn that "trains will be
running on a Dalles-Celilo portage j
within less than ninety days" on the '
Washington side. It would be still
more delighted to think that another
portage on the Oregon side was j
among the near possibilities. And
why not? The right of way has;
been procured by tho government!
nnd over two hundred thousand!
dollars, already appropriated, remain
unexpended and available for the
work the moment action is taken by
congress. Instead, therefore, of "so
winy hundreds of thousands of dol
lars," as "Common Sense speaks of,
small appropriation of about $200,.
000 would suffice to construct and
equip the road. More than this. A
tnilro.itl of some kind will bnvc to
be built to facilitate the construction
of whatever nornmiient improve
ments the government may ultimate-
ly (Ictorminc upon. "Why could not
such a road be built and devoted to
tlm nsn nf tho iiiililic. ns nii the

m i .
crnmcnt is rendv to undertake

.iVIHl 111
.. i .in
these nrc completed the road might
be used jointly as was part of the
little portage road at the locks.
Where is there anything "absolutely
impossible" or "idiotically preposter
ous" in all this? The truth is the
letter of "Common Sense" voices
sentiments foreign to these parts.
Our wishes may be "absolutely im
possible of realization and our opin
ions may be "idiotically preposter
ous," but all of us who arc not under
the control of some transportation
company are in favor of competition
around the dalles obstructions, and
the more of it the. better. We feel
indebted, therefore, to Messrs. Ctish
man nnd Jones for their efforts to
serve us, nn:l we shall not believe
that these efforts arc "idiotically
preposterous" till we know better.
"The universal defense of the
Porto Ricau tariff bill made by He
publican papers," says the La Grande
Chronicle, "is that it is only of a
temporary nature, the law expiring
of its own force within two years."
The Chronicle i.- mistaken. The bill
is never defiudrd on that ground.
If it is wronr m principal, it is wrong
if it shoul i in; in force only two
minutes, le' 'lune two years. The
bill is defended on the ground of its
absolute necessity. No other means
of raising needed revenue was prac
ticable. Taking the constitution
there and enforcing our revenue
laws would have been confiscation.
The masses of the islanders are in
the very depths of poverty nnd
wholly unable at this time to bear
the burdens of a direct tax. These
are some of the grounds on which
the bill is defended. The temporay
nature of the bill is only mentioned
when Democrats and recreant Re
publicans lyingly insist that it was
ever intended as a permanent meas
ure. Sow that the campaign is on, Dem-!
ocratic editors who have not the'
ability to write their own editorials
are ranking generous use of those of
the Oregonian. And they have rll
the bitterness and disingenuousness
of the Simon pure Democratic article.
