Bill Introduced in Senate
Provides Fines for
Neglecting Polls
. ; I ...
No bill introduced in the senate
during the first four days of the leg
islative session is causing more spec
ulation relative to its chances to get
jast both houses than ' . Senator
Banks' bill for compulsory registra
tion and voting. Following the elec
tions or ,19 IS. particularly the prim
ary election of last May, the light
vote was a subject of frequent com
ment and expressions of opinion that
voting should be made compulsory
were not infrequent. I.
Senator Banks bill states that it
is the duty of every citizen to inform-himself
on questions at Issue in
elections. It makes failure to vote
a misdemeanor and;provides punish
ment by fine. The text oi me dui
follows
"Section 1 It Is the rightful du
ty of every citizen of Oregon to in
form himself of the issues and east
his ballot at every election held, un
der the constitution and laws of Ore

vote at every election for which he
is legally qualified is guilty of a mis
demeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not less than
$5 nor more than $50; provided.
that illness or necessary absence
from his voting precinct all of the
day of the election shall excuse him
or her from said penalty, but the
truth of such excuse shall be proved
to the satisfaction of the court by
evidence in addition to the voter's
testimony.
Section 2 If the name of any
legal voter does not appear on his

ABUSES SHOWN
Commissioner Corey Sends
Strong Letter on Rail
roads to Elmquist
Alleged abuses df federal control
of railroads are pointed out by Pub
lic Service Commissioner Corey in
the following sent yesterday to
Charles E. Elmquist. president of the
National Association of Railway and
Utility Commissioners:
"Supplementing .our telegram of
the 13th instant in regard additional
five years' government control of
railroads:
We wish to further state that ow
ing to the flagraUt abuse of the pow
er granted by congress during the
past short period of control, we are
very apprehensive of the result of a
further extension of such power:
That the federal government, in
order to secure priority and the ut
most facility in the movement of
troops, munitions and supplies dur
ing our preparation for and In the
prosecution of the war. had the ab
solute right to assume control of
the nation's transportation systems
is unquestioned, but now that the
war is over we have no hesitancy In
pointing out that the abuse of the
power placed in the hands of the di
rector general. To our minds con
gress did not intend to clothe the
president with the power to indis
criminately initiate or increase rates
This should be apparent when we
stop to consider the scope and ob
vious Intent of the se eral war mea
sures. Discussion of the Overman
bill in the senate indicates clearly
that the authority granted the pres
ident to Initiate freight rates was to
be exercised only In cases of real and
pressing emergency. Such arose di
rectly during the war.
Congress made ample provision
for the betterment and rehabilitation
