purpose it will receive the encourage
ment of the Oregon public service
commission. This is the substance
of a loiter that has, been sent by the
commission to United States Senator
McNary.
The Oresron commission, however,
considers Oregon statutes adequate
for protection of the railroads againrt
roving bands, and on several oeca
i sions the commission has invoked
j effectively the police power of
) ferent localities. Complaints pou -j
ing into the commission from Wash
j ington state urge? that the Oregon
senators -and representatives in con
gress be urged to support such legis
lation, and for this reason the letter
has been sent Senator McNary. Sev
eral railroad officials of Washington
complain that trr.ras actually have
been conimandeered and that acci
dents have increased by a consider
able percentage because of trespass
ing by tranrps or other rovers.
The only complaint of any conse
quence in Oregon is from the Astoria
branch of tbe Spokane. Portland
Seattle companv, and It is said the
situation there is not' serious. Gov
ernor WIthycombe has Informed the
commission that he wil support any
effort to suppress the evil if It be
