SUING FOR 350 MILES OF NEW OREGON RAILROAD;
. ' " BIGGEST CASE OF ITS KIND EVER FILED
L'nGer the authority vested in the transportation act of
1920, the Interstate Commerce Commission can order the con
struction of railroads into new territory or into territory not
properly served ; provided that the proper showing is made
that public service demands it, and that the extensions will
not impair the road's ability, to pay a fair return ;on its in
vestments. This is not a guarantee of railroad investments;
it merely demands that the railroads serve the people accord-
. jnjr to ineir cnazxers as duduc

W
vy requiring mat a proper snowing oi ousiness pe maae De
fore the roads can be ordered built. The act goes farther in
that it' empowers the commission to refuse to allow rival
roads to do foolish, competitive building that self-evidently
' can hot pay-4ike the great suicidal railroad war between the
. U.iP.-and the Hill roads up the Deschutes canyon'a few years
f rro.-.- ; v. -! ; :''.,-, .4 :.
' - -Balancing these two powers, the act seems a remark
. liy statesmanlike enactment; as between forcing roads to
l'l)uild for the pubUc;c6nyenienc;erand refusing to allow them
to run" hog-wild over a. .bit of personal pique and building
- jealousy, it seems a truly Solomonic law; j Under the first
clause of this act, the Oregon Public Service Commission has
brought suit before the interstate body, to demand the
- building of about 350 miles of
central Oregon; and through them, .the whole people of the
United States-whetheror not the roads are anxious to build
-cow. ' ' : -
- - - .Oregon has 30,000 square miles of territory as innocent
cf railroads as the day the last Oregon volcano heaved its
iast sigh, and the Columbia started to dig its channel to the
seaJ l Some of this country is not much more than map-making
material. But there is already about half a million acres

one or two years. The country.has reached the limit of its
powers, until it gets transportation. ; They can't raise crops
that they can't get to market; they are at the absolute end
of their rope. They must have transportation; with which
they will be ready to absorb thousands of people into the
splendid business of producing food for the world. The tim
ber resources to be tapped by these roads are almost beyond
measure. Col. Greeley, national forester, estimates that
within the next five years Oregon will be called upon to quad
ruple her present lumber production; and much of this pro
duction must be the yellow pine of the east slope of the
Cascades, served by these projected roads. It's time to get
to work, for the whole world is calling Oregon.
It is not possible that any comprehensive plan for state
development can meet the approval of every locality, every
interest. If any one big agricultural or lumbering center
could have a monopoly of the new service, it would be human
to desire it so, and let the next locality starve. But the com
mission, considering all Oregon as on an exactly equal basis,
can not play favorites. i -v . i ; ... .

The hearing comes on at Portland, August 10. The com
mission has gathered an immense amount of statistical ma
terial showing what Oregon really has and is. It will be a
magnificent presentation of a vast portion of a magnificent
state; a section that has been neglected, despised, outraged,
but that has the possiDimies

The attitude that Oregon should assume, was vividly
presented by one of the boosters at Burns, where the State
Commission held a meeting.:, They haven't a raUroadat
Burns; they are gasping for the transportation that wU
save their Uves on a splendid irrigation project. But he said,
replying to another man who told what Burns would get out
onhTplani "For heaven's sake, forget this Burns gain, and
think of all central Oregon. We've all got to stand for rail

country big enough to pay the men that serve us- No more

that is the story. All Oregon could produce the eyidenceto
make the building order as certain as the dusk or the dawn.
The new Salem hospital build

There must be no thought of giv

INVESTMENT COMPANIES
At the time Mr, Crews took
office as Oregon state compora-
tion commissioner j several com
panies were operating In Oregon
engaged in the sale of installment
savings bonds and similar secur
Hies which appeared j to him to
bring them within Jtne statute re
gulating-building and loan asso
ciations. ' .
The first concrete case submit
ted to this department under this
administration was the plan of the
Municipal Reserve , & Bond Co
for a permit to dq business of a
like i nature, and the department
being of the opinlon,that this case
as well as the others now doing
business under a similar plan
should be brought under the pro
visions of the building and loan
statutes, submitted that casa to
the attorney general for his '' op
inion with the foHowIng letter:

Dear Sir: This department has
now under consideration the ques
tion of supervision and regulation
of several companies whose prin
cipal business is the sale of in
stallment savings bonds which
mature at a fixed time to their
face value in consideration of he
payment ot regular lireiaiimenis.
The companies in question all
operate on a plan identical to the
savings and loan plan amd are
the following: The Municipal Re
serve and Bond company, the
Western Bond and Mortgage com
pany, the - Columbia Bond and
Mortgage .company, the Mortgage
Bond company, all oi Portland.
and the Investors Syndicate of
Minneapolis.
"Section No.j 6948. Olson's Or-
egon Laws, provides that The

or not. ' j
"In Tie w of the fact that the
plan of operation of all the above

reason I am submitting! to you for

"2. Should the Municipal Re

"For your Information I am
submitting herewith a copy of the

tor of this department, j on the

fully described the plan of opera
tion of the company In Question.

"W. E. CREWS,"
Corporation Commissioner."
Thereafter, on the 16th" day of
July, 1923, in a very elaborate
and carefully considered opinion.
the attorney general submitted to
the corporation department- his
conclusions where he held as fol
lows: , ' j -
L"It is my opinion that (the busi
ness proposed to be transacted by
Mutual Reserve and Bond com
pany brings It within the! scope of
Section 69.48, Oregon Laws, and
that said corporation should not
be permitted to do business in
this state upon the plan1 Indicat
ed by the documents submitted
with its application until it has;
complied with the statutes of this:
state relating to building! and loan
associations and savings jand loan;
associations, and that, when it
has complied with such: statutes,
it will be authorized to transact
such business only in the manner
provided for the transaction of
business , by ; such associations,
which does not include the right;
to issue bonds . or Investment cer
tificates 'which mature it a time
fixed iu 'advance or to transact!
business on any other than a mu-f
tual plan provided by
utes.',. -"'. " ,.
said st'atl
The " interests of tae people
of the .state of Oregon are
concerned in this atter, in this
way: They are entitled to have
their - investments in. j sach eej-'
curities conserved andt protected
n every reasonable possible way.
But a hardship may be worked
upon Oregon investment concerns
doing a legitimate and safe busi
ness, though issuing certificates
maturing at fixed times, if there
is no vay to allow them, under
present laws, to continue to issue
such certificates. If present stat
utes do not cover ' the
matter, a
new one ought to be nacted at
the next session of the legislature;.
There .certainly should be a vir
found to allow sound home in
vestment companies tc do' busi
ness; and still permit the corpor
ation commissioner to have strict
supervision over their (operations
and this .latter statement ap
plies with especial strength to the
foreign investment concerns doing
business in Oregon. 1
CAUSES OF CRIME
; Statistics for the pasi ten yeats
show that 85,000 murders haje
been committed during this period
in ihe United States. Every hour
during ' the year someone is as
sassinated, the proportion - being
one out of every 12,00(1 men who
die by the murderer' jHatjd. In
this we have the unenviable dis
tinction of leading the civilized
world in' the ratio of sjaylngs, as
in Europe 4he figure stands' at
one murder for every 634,000 In
habitants. ' "t , " i'
The causes of the murders are
many, but criminologists lay

greatest .blame at the public's
door. Technicality and sentimen
tality are the chief foes of law
and order, they maintain, and the
assassin knows when be commits
his crime that these two assets
Will be of tremendous value in
saving him from the gallows and
In many cases from long confine
ment in prison. Also modern
psychoanalysis is blamed -for rais
ing in the minds of the people the
idea that the criminal is mental
ly deficient and therefore irres
ponsible, and as a result he is
not infrequently let loose on the
community to commit ' further
crimes.
j Commenting on this situation.
Sir Basil Thomson, the former
Chief of Scotland Yard, remarked
tjiat the number of police em
ployed in American cities in pro
portion to their population ' is
much smaller than considered
sa fe in European countries. The
agents of the law are so over
worked that it is impossible for
them to take adequate steps look
ing toward crime prevention, : In
which branch of police ' activity
the Egnlish and continental for
ces excel. 1 Then, too, according
to Sir Basil, the "ordinary prac
tice In some American cities seems
to be that when 'the newspapers
lose their interest in a case the
police allow if to drop. They are
so much overworked that they
have no option." The result ! Is
that the malefactors feel reason
ably safe in their criminal pur
suits, as such a staggering number
of murders attests.
BULLFIGHTING PASSES
The name ot Spain is associat
ed with toreadors and bullfights.
But, according to a Madrid news
paper,. the glories of the bull ring
are departing and the popular In
terest in this 6port has waned.
The Spanish public has turned
enthusiastically to i. new and
bloodless sport, the "American
game of baseball.,
The Madrid writer hails this as
a victory for the moralist forces
in Spain. The best' Spanish auth
ors have been waging a wordy
campaign, against bullfighting for
a decade or more, because of the
brutalizing effect on the audien
ces. The high cost of living lent
a helping hand, also. ' Matadors
began demanding tremendous and
ever-increasing slaries, causing
admission prices to ascend beyond
the reach of most purses, and the
public turned to cheaper amuse
ments. Those who paid the ex
orbitant prices for tickets felt
themselves cheated, as the Hu

thOBe gory details that formerly
held the spectators enthralled.
The bull's horns were wrapped
and scarcely a drop of blood was
shed: Under such circumstances
we have the word of the Spanish
writer that the performances of
the brave toreador cavorting ar
ound a harmless bull had a sus
picious resemblance to the com
edy of Charlie Chaplin. . .
Not all of the Spanish public
Is pleased with the passing of the
bull ring, however. .SOme lament
it as the -death knell of the old
fighting spirit that , once led the
Conquistadores over the seas ; to
subjugate a new world. But the
majority- feel that it Is - a step
upward and will do much to im

the eyes of foreigners who have

bullfights. ' . .
GOLDEN DOOR KNOBS
When the s. in of an Illinois

When he built .a palace, bearing

downright suspicious. ; , He also
had a fleet oJ five limousines with
platinum trimmings - and he had
almost priceless rugs dangling on
his walls. .. No wonder the old
crowd looked, on with amazement.
Now the. internal revenue collect
or has dropped in with a demand
for some 8300,000 of evaded in
come tax and the prohibition en
forcement officers are checking
up the breweries. He Is accused
of making real beer in three brew
eries and supplying it to a large
section of the state. - He seemed
to have political protection 'and
he was on his way to getting all
the money in the world. But he
developed social aspirations.' He
was blackballed by a club in
Jollet and got revenge by buying
the building in which the club
had long been housed and turn

If ' he had been content to run
his three breweries and remain

defendant in various actions
